Chapter One; The Pool Party
It was summer. Another year at Hogwarts had gone by for Tobey and Eve. To celebrate the end of the school year Snape had invited all of his family and friends for a pool party. Even though he couldn't see anymore, Tobey could remain on his hearing and lane markers so he could go swimming with everyone else. Harry was sure surprised how he had turned his whole entire attitude around in the last few months about his lack of vision.
He was also very surprised at how much his twelve year old sister had developed since he had last seen her a few months ago. She was wearing a bright red two pieced bathing suit in which he thought was a little too sexy for a little girl like her. "There's no way I would ever let my daughter wear something like that." He muttered to Ron and Hermione while glancing over his shoulder at her as he removed his shirt and cross necklace and placed them inside his bag before zipping it up tightly.
"I know, but she isn't your daughter. You should see what Ginny's wearing." Hermione told him as he kicked off his sandals.
"That's different. She's my girlfriend not my little sister." He told her.
"Hate to break it to you mate, but Eve isn't so little anymore. I mean did you see the size of those knockers?" he whispered before Hermione scowled and slapped him a crossed his side.
"Evangeline! No running!" Snape scolded as he glanced up to see his daughter hurrying over towards the diving board in which she instantly stopped and started walking instead. Then he turned around to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione and removed his shirt. "Well, are you guys going in?" he asked them as Ron shrugged.
"I guess we better. I mean everyone else is already in the water." He said when suddenly Eve finished climbing up the steps of the diving board and grabbing ahold of her knees made a huge cannonball inside the water. Hermione grinned at them.
"Who's up for the waterslide?" she asked them as both of them grinned back at her before Harry took off his glasses and set them on the table and then followed them over to the slide since they had already covered themselves in suntan lotion before they got there.
A few seconds later Eve popped her head up to the surface and started kicking her legs and swimming over to the side of the pool. As she climbed out she heard someone calling her name and she looked up to see Ginny (who Harry had deemed to be very sexy indeed inside a bikini) waving down towards her. "Eve c'mon! We're going to go down the slide!" she shouted as Eve grinned.
"Alright!" she shouted back as Ginny was the one who slid down first and Eve got in line behind Ron as Harry went down next.
"Your brother really isn't too happy with you looking like that you know." Ron told her as he glanced back down at her over his shoulder.
"Well that's tough! He's not the boss of me." She told him as Ron rolled his eyes.
"You know for the past few months I actually started to like you, don't blow it." He told her as she placed her hands up her hips and made a disgusted face at him while wiggling her head from side to side.

A little while later Harry climbed out of the pool only to run into his father. "Where are you going?" he asked him.
"To the bathroom. I told the girls that I would be right back. Ginny's busy showing them how to do dolphin jumps." He explained.
"Alright but first I want to introduce you to someone." His father began gesturing his head over to Charlie Weasley who was standing beside him holding a little girl wearing a pink polka dot bathing suit. She had long straight red hair, brown eyes, and freckles on both of her cheeks just right under her eyes.
"Hullo Harry, this is my daughter Lottie." He told him as the little girl shyly hid her face inside his chest.
"Oh, I wasn't even aware you had a daughter." Harry told him not even being aware that he was married to begin with.
"Neither did I until a few months ago, but here she is. And she's the best thing that ever happened to me." He told him with a grin as he kissed the top of her head.
"Oh, well, nice meeting you." Harry said quickly before hurrying along to the men's restroom and the grin immediately vanished off of Charlie's face.
"That's odd, I thought you told me that Harry liked kids." He said.
"He does, he loves kids. I think you just,.. surprised him that's all." Snape told him.
"I should have known. Harry's a Sunday school teacher. He probably doesn't agree with having kids before marriage." He said.
"No, not really." Snape admitted. "But he also doesn't agree with taking it out on the child either. Just give him some time to get used to it and he'll come round. Bill and Johnny are down by the baby pool if you want to take Lottie down there. She either has to be potty trained or wear a swim diaper though." He told him.
"Oh don't worry, her mother has assured me that she's potty trained. C'mon Lottie, let's go meet your new baby cousin Johnny." He told her placing another kiss on the top of her head before carrying her away. "Then later on Daddy will blow up on of your floaties so you can go swimming in the big pool with the big kids." He told her.
A few minutes later Harry came back out of the bathroom. "Where did Charlie and Lottie go?" he asked his father.
"Charlie just took her to the baby pool." Snape explained.
"Alright, I just wanted to apologize to him for acting so rude. It isn't Lottie's fault that she's here and I didn't mean to take it out on her." Harry told him.
"I know and that's what I told Charlie. I'm sure that he understands now." Snape said as Harry grinned.
"Great, I'll go talk to him." He said as he started to turn around and walk away.
"Uh Harry wait," Snape began as Harry stopped and turned back to look at him.
"Yeah?" he questioned.
"Can you meet me tomorrow after church for lunch? There's something that I want to talk to you about." He said. "Tobey and Eve are fine to stay home by themselves and watch Teddy and Heather." He told him.
"Yeah, sure. Is it alright if I bring Ginny though?" he asked him as a few moments of silence fell before his father nodded with agreement. "Thanks, as soon as I go talk to Charlie I'll tell her." He told him with a wide grin as he turned around and walked away as Snape watched him go and breathed a deep and heavy sigh.
