This is SO short :( it's only a prologue but...gr, roar. I adore reviews and the more reviews the faster I update. This is my first attempt at a Sevitus...wish me luck...well I guess I don't need it now, lol. But a review helps :)

Disclaimer: If I owned it I wouldn't be writing fanfiction in a completely different writing style now would I?

Severus Snape did not feel comfortable now; his stomach fluttered as he walked. Listening to the sound of his shoes pitter-patter against the cold cobblestone floors as his mind raced if the very thought of what he had to do; kill…murder. He ran a slender hand through his thin wiry hair with a deep heavy sigh. He stood before the gargoyle leading into the headmaster's office not in the mood for one of his childish passwords.

"Just open!" He exclaimed frustrated, "I don't remember the damn password!"

"Severus, I have asked you many times not to use that kind of language in this establishment." A tall bearded man walked gracefully to the statue, "Gumdrops."

"Headmaster, there is something urgent I need to tell you." He insisted trailing the elderly man.

"Yes, there is something I must tell you as well." The headmaster sat in his high backed chair by the fire and gestured for Severus to do the same. "Do you remember November thirty-first nineteen seventy-nine?"

Severus sat taking in his question, but he did not have to think; he remembered everything about that night…absolutely everything. "Yes sir."

"I have been alerted of some physical changes in Mr. Potter over the summer according to Arbela and Molly." He paused to look at Severus for a minute.

"You're not saying…" Severus trailed off looking at the headmaster with a sideways glance.

"Alastor has put a mirror charm on the boy; he remains to look like James. He has no idea that his appearance changed whatsoever…I suppose you do?" The headmaster peered through his half-moon glasses.

"You couldn't possibly…" Severus looked into his eyes hoping, begging, for a joke to be behind those blue eyes but his inner lie detector found truth.

"I never assume, I am just giving you the chance to confess."

"Confess what?" Severus asked, his hands gripping the arms of the chair; his blood-beginning boil.

"I knew you would react this way," The headmaster stood and walked too a cupboard, "That is why I went ahead doing all the proper testing." He then held a thick envelope.

"No!" Severus stood quickly, a look of shock on his face. "Potter can't be-" He cut himself off, he wanted to faint when he saw a brisk nod from the headmaster. "You can't be serious." A million thoughts went through his mind as he stared at the floor, memories flooded into his head; memories he wanted to forget.

"I have this letter, it appears only you can open it." He handed the thick parchment envelope. Severus tore it open with shaky hands seeing familiar handwriting before him,

Dear Sev',

I hope you never have to read this. I hope this is just a stupid precaution I'll laugh about someday but better safe than sorry, right? Okay, I hope you're sitting down right now, you're a father. If you weren't sitting down, I hope you had a nice faint ha-ha. All right, I have to be serious now…I put a mirror charm on him tonight, it should wear off around his sixteenth birthday. I hope if something does end up happening to me, James, and Sirius, that you will be there to do the right thing. I know we haven't talked in a while and true, you can be a real jerk (I mean that in a loving way) but I trust you more than anyone in the world.

All my best wishes,

Lily

Severus refolded the letter putting his face in his palms, that's when he realized the tears streaming down his face. A sharp pain jabbed in his heart, a dark cloud of sadness and anger reined over him, "He's mine…" Was all he could say.

The reason Lily's letter is a little I dunno, childish...strange...is I always thought Lily would be a little ornery with her friends. Especially ones so close as Sevvy. Yes, I said Sevvy, Savy?
