Father By Omission by Alexannah

Summary: Severus is NOT Harry's father--but, for some reason, he truly believes beyond any doubt that he is, and wants to start on a new slate with him.

Harry knows for utter fact that that Severus is not his father (and could produce proof he isn't). When he discovers Severus thinks he is, he hesitates to correct him. Bursting Severus' bubble could be traumatic if Severus has held this belief for a long time, but also because Harry cannot bring himself to pass up the offer of a family.

So Harry goes along with it, and they bond. When and how Severus finds out the truth, and how he reacts, is up to the author.

Must haves:
- Severus is NOT Harry's biological dad
- Harry knows for certain he's not when he finds out what Severus thinks, and lets him think that
- Severus doesn't find out the truth until they've become fairly close

Suggestions:
- Perhaps Harry's already had reason to do a DNA test, which is how he knows Severus is mistaken
