Chapter One; Room For One More

So, before I get started, I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all of the people who have been supporting these stories since the first one! Since I do this entirely for entertainment purposes only, I'm really glad that you have been enjoying them, and I hope you will continue to do so for all twelve (fifteen including the specials) of them, (if I counted correctly) since I am planning on rewriting the entire HP series with a spinoff series as well! So, here's the first chapter!

Harry James Snape had just turned seven years old a couple of months ago. He was a very happy little boy and an even prouder big brother. For little Tobey had grown up quite a bit since a year had gone by. He was mostly full of smiles and giggles as long as he got his way. Now he could crawl, walk, eat solid food and even talk a little bit saying words like Mama, Dada, and of course his all-time favorite; "NO!" That morning their father was watching them due to the fact that Lily had gone off for her monthly checkup.

She was pregnant again, and this time she would be finding out the baby's gender. This time Harry sort of wanted a baby sister. He loved his baby brother very much, but he sort of wished that he could find out what it felt like to have both. However all that Snape cared about was that he or she was healthy. He was very happy about becoming a father again even though sometimes he swore that Harry and Tobey were causing him to get grey hair already.

Tobey raced through the living room running after Cosmo, (their black cat with a tiny bit of white on his tummy) and pulling his tail whenever he got close enough. The cat let out a rather loud growl and hiss before he sprinted away. "Tobey no! How many times have I told you not to pull the cat's tail, it hurts him!" Snape scolded before he rushed over to his son and swatted him on the bottom.

Tobey tilted his head back and started to cry revealing his one lone tooth before his father swooped him up inside his arms and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry buddy but you're just going to have to learn that's how things work around here. You have to follow the rules and keep your hands to yourself." He told him before placing a kiss on the top of his head and then setting him down inside his highchair.

"I'm going to go wake your brother up and then I'll feed you both some breakfast." He explained before he turned to walk down the hallway and quietly knocked on Harry's bedroom door before slowly pushing it open and turning on the light. Cowboy the dog immediately opened his eyes and raised his head turning over to look at him while perking up his ears and wagging his tail. "Harry," Snape began before waving his wand and turning on the lights.

"It's time to get up son. Your brother's already been awake for hours and your mother will be home soon." He told him as Harry groaned and gave a gigantic stretch while continuing to rub his eyes.

"What time is it?" he asked him.

"It's after nine o'clock, and you still need to feed the animals and let Cowboy outside. Your mother will clean the litterbox when she gets back but you have to do the rest." His father told him.

"Yes Daddy." Harry said before he gave another gigantic stretch and yawned before climbing out of bed and went into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. As soon as Snape went back into the dining area, he wrinkled his nose while he sniffed the air and waved his hand in front of him.

"Oh boy, it seems like Harry isn't the only one who had some business to take care of. Come on Tobey, let's get you taken care of." Snape told him before he lifted him back up into his arms again and carried him back to the nursery. Harry flushed the toilet and washed his hands before he came out of the bathroom just as his mother was getting home.

"Mummy!" Harry squealed excitedly while flinging his arms open and racing towards her. Lily smiled as she bent down and hoisted him up inside her arms.

"There's my baby." She began before she greeted him with a morning kiss on the cheek. "So, how did you sleep sweetheart? Did the tooth fairy leave you any money?" she asked him.

"Oh no, I completely forgot to look." He told her. He had been so excited the previous night to finally find out if he was having another baby brother or a sister instead this time that the fact that he had lost another baby tooth had completely escaped his mind. That's when all of a sudden Snape came back out of the room and carried Tobey back over to his highchair before greeting his wife with a kiss and then placing a bib around Tobey's neck as he sat him back down.

"Good morning, you're back early." He told her.

"Well the healer told me that I was just fine, and so was she." She told him.

"She!?" Harry exclaimed as his face suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Yep," his mother began with a nod and smiling brightly at him. "It looks like you and Tobey will be getting a new baby sister after all." She told him as Snape grinned.

"Congratulations." He began. "I have to admit, even though I love the boys with all my heart, I always wondered what it would be like to have a daughter." He told her when all of a sudden Tobey began to cry again. "I know, I know. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you." He told him before he walked into the kitchen and got a jar of baby food out of the cupboard.

"Well Harry, you better feed Cowboy and Cosmo, and then I'm taking you to the store with me to pick out some new clothes for the baby while your brother takes his nap." Lily began before she set him down. "And then we've got a meeting with your new charms teacher." She explained.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm starting charms school next month. I wonder what it'll be like." He said as he started thinking about the fact that he would be seeing his friend Ron again.

"And don't forget that I'm taking you to Zombie Island tonight." His father reminded him before he sat down in a chair and pulled it up to the highchair (which used to be Harry's when he was a baby) and unscrewed the lid. Harry started jumping up and down as a humongous grin stretched a crossed his face. That had been the one thing that he hadn't forgotten about.

"Ron says that that place is really wicked!" he cried. "There is this roller coaster that twists and turns, goes upside down, backwards, and even flies off the tracks!" he shouted as he did all the motions with his hands.

"Yes well, I think you're still too little for the Spirit Coaster." Snape told him as Tobey eagerly opened up his mouth while his father spoon-fed him some pineapple.

"No I'm not!" Harry quickly protest shaking his head. "I'm not afraid of anything!" he exclaimed as Snape rolled his eyes.

"We'll just have to see, I'm not sure if my stomach can take it." He told him before Harry went into the kitchen and pried open the bag of dog food and started pouring it inside Cowboy's dish before he did the same with the cat food. Both Cowboy and Cosmo came running to its familiar sweet sound of being poured inside their dishes. Then Harry (who could fully reach the kitchen sink by himself now) started filling their water dishes.

Snape had realized that Tobey had finally had enough to eat when he spat the rest of his food out. "Well, I better get this little guy cleaned up before I start getting him ready for his nap." He said before he picked the baby up and raised him inside his arms, before adjusting his grip and carrying him down the hall.
