“DAD! DAD! PAPA! It’s here! It’s finally here,” Harry yelled running down the stairs and into the kitchen of Grimwauld Place.
            Looking up from the paper Harry’s fathers smiled. “Your Hogwarts acceptance letter?”
            “Yea Dad when can we go to the alley? Will you come with Papa and me? Please Please Please!”
            “Harry sit down and eat. I’m sure Dad can take a day off from the aurors and come with us,” Remus smiled at Harry. Before Remus could continue there was a tapping at the window. Looking over they saw a regal looking owl clutching what looked like a letter in its beak.
            Getting up Sirius dropped the paper before opening the window for the owl. The bird proceeded to swoop in and drop a letter off in front of Sirius’ empty chair and the other in front of Harry before taking off back through the open window.
            Sitting down Sirius pulled open his envelope reading through the contests really quickly before passing it over to Remus to read.
            “What does it say,” Harry questioned going to pick up his own envelope.
            “Wait for a minute Harry please. Let Papa finish first.”
            Once finished Remus put the letter down, “Well I guess he’d know eventually. And the goblins say it was Lily and James last wish.”
            “My birth parents?”
            “Go ahead and read your letter Harry it’ll explain some things to you,” Sirius said reaching over and grasping Remus’ hand. They knew this day was coming but were still unprepared for it.
            Harry had ripped open the envelope and started to unfold the letter before starting to read.
Dear Mr. Harry James Severus Potter,
            Enclosed with this letter is another letter that your parents left in the care of Gringotts goblins before their passing. It was requested of us to send you this letter the day you receive your Hogwarts acceptance letter. We are also to inform you that through out your life there will be other ones such as a letter for your seventieth birthday or when your wedding is announced.
Regards,
Head Goblin Hughbert Rezveit

            Having finished the first letter he opened the other one and began to read.
My Dearest Harry,
            If you are reading this that means that we have been taken from your life. I hope that Sirius and Remus are raising you well. If not James and I will come and haunt them until they shape up.
            Your Dad is behind me reading this and laughing at the image of me haunting Moony and Padfoot. Those two however know to be scared, and that is why you were left with them if something were to happen to us.
            There is something that we need to tell you Harry. We decided on the letters as a way to impart information we wanted to give you and also maybe make things easier on your Dads. James is not your biological father Harry love. When James and I attended Hogwarts we had a very diverse set of friends. Those included Sirius, Remus, Severus, Lucius and Narcissa even though the last two were ahead of us by a few years in school, Peter, Molly and Arthur. I’m sure you know them all being raised by two of the Marauders.
            When James and I got married after graduating we knew we wanted a family. All right I guess I should go a bit farther back according to James. In school I dated Severus. I loved him and still do but I also harbored secret feelings for James. Little did we know that was the case for all of us. It took a night over Christmas break our sixth year and several bottles of firewhiskey for the truth to come out. So we came to the conclusions to see each other. I want you to know Harry that we loved each other very much. Severus eventually got pulled into spying for Albus and joined You-Know-Who in his cause, as did Lucius. Based on Severus’ spy nature he wasn’t able to join us when James and I married however he was present and participated in the wedding and Honeymoon.
            A month into the marriage we found out James was unable to have kids. Which brings about Severus being your true father. Those in our inner circle such as Molly, Arthur, Lucius, Cissa (yes he knows Cissa is Narcissa James) and obviously your dads, however we never told Peter or Albus per Severus’ wishes.
            We want you to know that Harry and that we love you very much. When we went into hiding we had to leave Sev behind though he visited often. If we’re gone though I’m glad he wasn’t there and can still be here for you. I love you my beautiful son. Both of us. (Yes he knows you love him James.)
            On a last note my dear; in one of our protected family vaults at Gringotts is a portrait of each of us. When you are all ready you may contact Head Goblin Rezveit and he will take you to retrieve them. Until then my love have a wonderful rest of your summer and a fabulous first year. Send our love to your Fathers.
Love Always,
Mum and Dad
            Harry was shocked speechless. Looking up his eyes just kept glancing back and forth between his dads. “Is it true,” he questioned softly.
            “Yes it is son. That’s why we’ve never excluded Sev and he’s always around,” Sirius spoke softly.
            “Are you okay Harry,” Remus asked.
            “Yea I um I think so. Do you think I can talk to him?”
            “Of course Harry. Siri why don’t you floo Sev and have him come over.” Getting up Remus went to kneel in front of Harry while Sirius left to use the sitting room floo. “This doesn’t change anything Harry. You just have three parents. We all still love you and always will and I know James and Lily are watching over you now and are so proud of you and I know that even though they are gone they love you very very much.”
            “I know. This is just going to take some processing,” Harry said. Reaching his arms out Remus pulled his son into his arms for a hug.
            “Harry there’s someone here to see you,” Sirius said reentering the room. Severus was close behind him.
            Twisting in Remus’ arms he said, “Hey Uncle Sev.”
            “Hi Harry. How about we go sit on the back porch and we can talk,” the older man said to his son.
            Nodding his consent Harry pulled all the way away from Remus. Standing he walked over and grabbed Severus’ hand leading the man through the house and out the back door.

Sitting down Severus kept watch on Harry waiting for the boy to speak.
            “This is a lot to take in. Um can… can I call you Father,” Harry asked tentatively.
            “Of course Harry,” Severus said reaching over and placing a hand on Harry’s shoulder. “You can call me anything that you’re most comfortable with. However it will be Professor Snape when not in private at Hogwarts. Do you understand why Harry?”
            “Yea, because you’re my professor right? And because we have to keep up appearances with that Dumbledore man,” Harry asked.
            “That’s correct.” Nodding his head Severus smiled. “Are you excited for your first year?”
            “Yea! Dad says I should be in Gryffindor like him and papa and Lily and James. Papa says it doesn’t matter though, that I can be in any house and they’ll still love me.”
            Getting up Severus moved his chair so he was sitting in front of his son. “Harry you can be put in any house and what Remus said is true. We will all still love you, even if you do become a puff.”
            At that Harry started to laugh, “There is no way I’m gonna be a Hufflepuff! I’ll be in Slytherin or Gryffindor like my dads.”
            Severus laughed. Reaching out he ruffled Harry’s hair. “Yes you will. Come on, how about we go get some ice cream?” With that both stood and made their way back into the house before setting off.

            “Come on Harry it’s time to go!”
            “I’m coming, hang on Hedwig didn’t want to go into her cage,” he replied while climbing down the stairs arms full of owl and cage. “Okay let’s go!”
            “Alright, wait where’s your dad,” Remus asked spinning around seeing Sirius nowhere in sight.
            “Here I’m here!” Sirius came bustling into the room. “I wanted to grab something for Harry. I think it’s time that we gave it to him.”
            “Oh no please don’t tell me it’s what I think it is. Sirius I thought we’d agreed that we would wait until he was older!”
            “Yea but I mean we can’t have our boy going off without it! Remus love I just know it’s going to be of use.”
            “Fine but any mishaps are your fault.”
            “Yes,” Sirius turned around before squatting down in front of his only son. “I know we need to hurry but I want to make sure you get this. It’s a map of Hogwarts and everyone in it. If something becomes amiss or you need out of a situation or to find Severus quickly this will help.” Quickly he ran over how to work the map and that his dads and James had created it when they were at Hogwarts.
            “Alright time to go or we’ll be late, and I will not have us late,” Remus interjected. Pulling Harry to his side he apparated them to the platform followed by Sirius.
            Appearing on the platform Remus and Sirius helped Harry unshrink and load his trunk and Hedwig into a compartment. Once done and having marked the compartment as taken Harry followed them back onto the platform to find his friends. It was easy for them to spot the Tonks, Malfoys and Zabinis all clustered together. Knowing the Weasleys were always late the three made their way over to that group of friends to await the rest. At a minute till eleven the Weasleys bustled in with Neville Longbottom and his grandmother. Hugs and kisses were exchanged amongst quick goodbyes and the children quickly boarded the train heading to the compartment that Harry had snagged.
            Sitting down the older years put an expansion charm on the inside of their room making enough space for the others to spread out. They passed the time with jokes and stories from summer and what they hoped Hogwarts would be like. Seeing the lights of the castle in the distance the kids eagerly changed ready to de-board the train. Once off the older years left into carriages while the first years followed a man named Rubeus Hagrid to boats. Gliding along the lake tales of a giant squid were passed around. Harry hoped it was true.

            The students waited shifting from foot to foot after being let into the Great Hall. Many anxious to find out what house they would be in. They listened as a Hannah Isabel Abbott got called followed by a Cynthia Rose Bones and were sorted into Hufflepuff. The boys stood whispering as the next names were called only looking up when a bushy haired girl pushed past by the name of Hermione Jean Granger. The first of the group of friends to be called was Neville Roy Simmons Longbottom (Gryffindor), followed by Luna Marie Grace Lovegood (Ravenclaw), and Draco Abraxus Malfoy (Slytherin). The hall went quiet when the Sorting Hat called out ‘Harry James Severus Potter’. Walking up he placed the hat on his head. Waiting as the hat grumbled about how he was brave enough to be a lion and as smart as any claw before deciding he would go farther in Slytherin. The last two of his friends to be sorted were Ronald Billius Weasley into Gryffindor and Blaise Angelo Palo Zabini into Ravenclaw. After all the first years the feast began signaling the start of their Hogwarts adventures.
