Author's Note: This is set several years in the future after "The Potions Conference", another of my stories, however this can be read as a stand-alone.
As Severus Snape sat reading his Potions Journal, his three children sat on the floor before him arguing about which one of them their parents loved the best.
"I'm the reason that Mum and Dad are together and that the two of you were even born," argued Helena.
"I'm the baby of the family," replied Jude. "Everyone knows that the youngest are always loved the most."
"Well you were both a surprise," countered Lisbette, "so that makes me the favourite cos I was planned."
Listening to the squabbling, Snape smirked as he lowered the periodical.
"You were all unplanned." He raised an eyebrow when Lisbette prepared to object. "You were several years too early my dear."
He sat back and raised his journal once again. "And don't worry, I love you all in equally low measures."
Finito.
