'Chapter One: Giving the endearment a whole other meaning!'
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything associated with it. If I did there would be a lot more SLASH!
"Longbottom! Why have you insisted on taking my class for the past six years when you can't even brew a simple calming potion!" Professor Snape's voice rang throughout the classroom causing a fair few of Gryffindors to jump. "Ten points from Gryffindor because of Longbottom's vacuity!"
Harry glared at the potions master before returning to his own potion. It was almost done all he needed to do was add the scarab's eyes and- :BAM: Neville Longbottom's potion just exploded sending a baby blue goo towards Harry who was situated next to Neville's cauldron.
"DAMN IT LONGBOTTOM GET OUT OF MY CLA-" bloodcurdling screams turned everyone's attention to Harry who was currently trying to claw his skin off. "Everyone out! Longbottom stay here!" The potions professor shouted.
Normally there would be no need for Severus Snape to repeat an order, however, when Harry's body rapidly started decreasing in size everyone stopped to look. Within seconds a small, almost emaciated, young boy sat on the cold dungeon floor in a swamp of robes.
"EVERYONE OUT…NOW!" Snape's voice was so loud and menacing every student except Neville was out the door in seconds.
"SEV!" The little boy said, excitedly, reaching his arms up as to be held.
Severus looked down at his husband and picked him up. Without saying a word he strode out of the door, glancing at Neville to follow. Harry snuggled in Severus' arms placing his head on the older man's shoulder. Snape brought his hand up to rub Harry's small boney back.
They reached the gargoyle that stood in front of the Headmaster's office without problems. Severus said the password, 'Gummy Bears' and began his walk up the spiraled stone stairs.
"Ah, Severus, my boy. I did not know we had an appointment today." The headmaster began when Snape, Harry, and Neville stepped through the door. "Lemon Drop?" Neville politely declined, Severus looked at the Headmaster as if he was insane, while Harry refused to lift his head from its hiding spot in Severus' robes. "Ok, so Mr. Potter is now a young tyke. How did this happen?" Dumbledore asked in a serious tone.
"T-that would-d be m-my f-fault, H-Headmaster." Neville stated, stuttering from fear of punishment.
"Longbottom's stupidity caused his potion to explode. Some how he must have turned a calming draught into de-aging potion. His cauldron entire contents landed on Harry." Snape said tiredly. Harry's arms wrapped tighter around Severus' neck, as if sensing his distress.
"Well, this is quite a predicament." The Headmaster began. "Neville, fifteen points to Gryffindor for brewing a correct de-aging potion. That is very difficult." Severus glared at the Headmaster but quickly switched his attention to Harry who had placed an open-mouth baby kiss on his cheek. "Severus."
"Yes, Albus?"
"Harry needs a guardian. Seeing as he has already taken to you it would be impractical to try to get him to trust someone else enough to take care of him."
"Albus, no! I have classes to teach, potions to brew. I'll have to make an ageing potion for him. Then I have head of house duties, responsibilities to the Order and a few others. I haven't the time to take care of a child. No." Harry pulled back and looked into Severus' eyes, after his rant. Slipping off of the elder man's lap, Harry limped over to a corner and sat down.
"Why is Harry limping?" Neville asked from his chair.
The Headmaster waved his hand in the air, dismissing the question and turned back to Severus. "I'm afraid my boy, I'm not giving you the option. I'm sure Poppy will be happy to take care of him for a few hours if anything comes up. But otherwise he will stay with you." Severus signed and nodded. "Good!" Dumbledore said cheerily, his eyes twinkling. "Now that everything is in order, Neville you have other classes today and Severus you should probably take Harry to the infirmary. Have a nice day!"
Severus walked over to his husband of seven months and picked him up. Harry smiled widely and gave the Potion's Professor another baby kiss on the forehead.
