The killing curse power, flew threw his wand and hit the little boy in the cradle, that stood before him. The boy did nothing, no cry for pain. It didn't affect the youngster in the slightest.

Riddle was not pleased, not pleased at all. This upset him, and he gave up."It's only a youngster anyways", he reminded himself, giving up. He left the house soon after that, smirking at the dead bodies of Lily Evans and James Potter on his way out. Severus Snape was last of the Death Eaters to leave the house.

A tear couldn't help but roll down his cheek, at the sight of the dead love of his life. Lily Evans.

He walked Severus knew what he was about to do was wrong, but he just couldn't leave the precious thing.
He wrapped his cloak around it, and walked out of the Potter's house, and towards his own .

The walk to his house, wasnt too long but he didnt mind too much being with Jenny. Yes, he knew all along that Lily was excepting twins, and he wanted desperately to save the baby girl.

They finally reached their house, where he placed Jenny in the guest room bed, and left to go take a shower. When he came out, the little girl was smiling at him and he couldnt help but smile back.
He also couldnt help but wonder, what Lily would have thought if she'd seen this now. Would she be happy that he saved her daughter, or angered that he just didnt leave him there for a relative or close family friend to come? He hoped it was happy, so he decided to just go with that.

He grabbed a spare set of blankets and lightly covered them over Jenny, and decided to sleep in the stowards the door, closing it shut behind him. Suddenly, a small cry sweeped the room.
Severus stopped his tracks, and went back into his room, and searched..he could have swore he heard something.
He looked around, until finally he pulled up the closest door. Their lay before him, was a small baby toddler, wrapped in a baby pink blanket. He picked up the baby, and cradled it. He saw the blanket more closely , which read " Jenny" on it.

"Jenny Potter", he whispered.

pare room with the youngster. He fell asleep holding her , his final thoughts being " If only Jenny's real parents didnt have to be dead..one of them at least , anyhow".

From that day on Severus raised Jenny, secretly of course. It wasn't always easy, but it was defintely worth it in the end. A few days after he found Jenny, he invited one of his closer friends over, Caitlin Tyler. Caitlin Tyler, was a tell,slender woman with long blonde hair. She was defintely attractive in many men's books, Severus's especially! It was just a bonus, that she was a top Auror, one of the best they had ever had.

That day, Severus sat in the living room holding Jenny, anxious and worried as ever. Caitlin was one of Lily's best friends, so it would be defintely be interesting, yet nerve racking to see her reaction.

Suddenly, their was a knock at his door and he almost threw Jen into the air, from panic. Jenny looked up at Severus showing off her adorable simile, which was wnough to calm Severus down.
He shifted Jenny to his right side, and opened the door a bit. A beautfuil blonde stood before him.

" Hello Sevi", Cait exclaimed.

" Hello", he said nervously. She could tell something was up, " Severus..what's wrong?" She said, concern flashed in her blue eyes, that Snape couldn't help but get lost in from time to time.

Severus froze and Caitlin pushed open the door, walking in. Thats what she saw it, she saw what Severus was cradleing in his arms.

" Severus...?" , she said as she shot a questioning glance, to the little toddler he held.

" Its a long story, but you're going to ha-" , he was interuppted in mid sentence, when Caitlin's questioning glance, turned into, her eyes widdened in horror. ".....JENNY??", she screamed walking towards Severus.

Severus froze, " Caitlin, please...let me explain".

Caitlin and Severus sat down, and silence filled the room. Cait looked down at her shoes, trembling. " Cait, whats troubling you?", he asked softly. Ignoring him, Cait managed to choke out " M-may I hold her Severus..please?", tears were streaming down her face, and Severus didn't consider for a minute that Cait would ever hurt Jenny.

" Of course", he smiled and handed him to her.

She held her willing, and Jenny smiled up at her. Caitlin gave a small smile, and wiped away her tears. Severus stood up, and sat down beside Cait, putting his arm around her.

" Cait, please tell me..what's wrong, sweetheart?"

" I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand Jenny not having parents. I didnt know where she was.
I somehow led myself to believe that she was dead, that I would never see her again. That'd I'd never get to look out for her how Lily wanted. Please Severus..can i visit her?"

" Yes, of course. One of the many reasons I invited you over here today is that I needed a favor.
I need someone to look afer Jenny when im gone on Death Eater dueties. Please can you take care of her?", he asked.

Cait was grinning from ear to ear from this. " Of course, yes Severus, thank you soo much!" .

The rest of the day went along quite smoothly, Severus explained exactly what happened, Cait discussed the Ministry, Hogwarts and they talked about Jenny. Caitlin ended up staying the night,
falling asleep holding Jenny. Severus walked into the guest room, and saw them, he smiled and covered them up.

He walked into his room, and fell asleep. Before he did, he laid into his bed thinking, about the future . So far it didn't seem crystal clear, it was defintely going to be interesting, especially when Jenny gets older.....
