Severus couldn't believe his eyes. Petunia Dursley his soon to be wife's sister was standing in his door way with a little one year old version of himself. He knew he had a son everyone seemed to think was Potters. He of course knew Lily was staying with Potter until the wedding and that Potter was as gay as they came. He also knew his son was some sort of prodigy. He took his son who instantly grabbed hold of his hair and the shaggy black dog Petunia had pulled out of a shopping bag and closed his eyes.

"The letter said Lily and someone named James were dead and that I needed to keep Harry but Lily always told me her sons name was Solaris Severus Snape. " Petunia said, "Now the toy is a gift from his Auntie Tuny. I remember Lily talking about a Padfoot that was a great black shaggy dog." Severus nodded, that was Black and he also knew Black and his son were close. " In here are dippers, formula, baby clothes, bottles, binkis, every thing you'll need for little Solar. He's a quiet child I haven't heard a word out of him all night. My son was throwing a fit the whole way here. He likes colors and has amazing coordination for a one year old. Vernon that's my husband bought him a few books from a store. He was already picking some up for Dudley but Dudders doesn't really enjoy books yet. " She kissed the baby's head and handed it all over along with the letter. "Sorry, to just drop in but I thought you'd want your son..."

"You're running?" Severus nodded to the loaded down car. She nodded. "Bring your family inside I'll help you."

Ten minuets later Solar was running around the den while Dudley huffed after him in a crawl. Solar had a gummy grin on his face. Severus didn't seem to concerned. He told Petunia and Vernon they didn't need to be that the House Elves had baby proofed the entire house when Solar was born and because his Godson Draco often came over. He also told them that the house elves were keeping an eye on the children.

"Would you be opposed to living in Scotland?" Severus asked as Solar ran past once more dog over his head cousin close behind Tinky the house elf not much farther behind. " I know a wonderful place for a family of Squibs..."

"Not a squib, daddy." Solar had stopped he handed over his dog and pulled Dudley up on to his feet the best he could without toppling over. "Magic... Dudley wizard like me, daddy. He do magic too."

"Really?" Severus asked, "Dudley will you please get me the bunny..."

Dudley stood unevenly on his feet but he stood. He held his arms out opened and closed his hands and the bunny in his mum's lap flew to him. He held it out to Severus. Petunia and Vernon both gasped.

"Good boy, Dudley." Severus patted his head and Dudley beamed at him. "That was very good indeed. You'll be a strong little guy. " He looked at Petunia and Vernon as Tinky and Solar took it upon themselves to try and get Dudley to walk. " Positive reinforcement is key in inspiring your child's magic. The place I'm talking about is an old family home. I have two in the area from different sides of the family. We'll be moving into one as it is more protected then this one. The one I would be giving you is as well. You would still be able to hold your job, Vernon or get another... The town is called Hogsmede... Solar!" Solar looked at his dad, "What have I told you about starting fires?"

"I not!" Solar protested. Severus fixed him with a stern look. "I not anymore?"

"You will not anymore." Severus replied correcting the English of his one year old. He looked back at the two adults. " Sorry, about that... the real problem with magic is some children show talent in the elements... Solar!"

Solar sat and huffed blowing his bangs out of his eyes. His daddy knew he liked fire but had made him stop using it when he'd set a house elf on fire for changing his nappy wrong. Dudley giggled making slow progress with his walking. Shrugging Solar got up and resumed helping.

"and you would be close enough to help us bring up our son as a proper wizard?"

"yes." Severus nodded at Vernon's question. " A proper wizarding upbringing is important as you two are from pure blood lines. Though, Tuny I must tell you that Harry will still be the Heir of the Evans family as you were named a squib..."

"That is fine." Petunia nodded. " I understand. I have more insight to the upbringing then Vernon he was cast out with Marge at a young age."

"Go to sleep, you little terror!" Severus yelled at ten o clock that night , Lily had told him that she had noticed that Solar hardly ever slept but he had not been around the last two weeks to notice. He'd been testing to get his Potions Mastery. He was 19 and the youngest Potion's Master ever. He burst in to the nursery to see Dudley sound asleep in Solar's crib as Solar chased a baby snow owl around the room. He sighed wondering where it had come from as he shut the window. He knew his son had control over most of his magic and could have easily opened the window. "Now who is this?"

Solar stopped and the owl landed on his head of black hair. He pointed at her and Severus nodded as Petunia and Vernon came in. Petunia giggled.

"Hedwig..."

"Your mother's been reading you history books again hasn't she?"

"Yep," Solar said with a nod. "Padfoot bringed her home to me... she was hurt but Moony makes her all better. Then Padfoot say I can keeps her."

"I see." Severus nodded. "and you decided to wake me up because she has mail and won't give it to you?"

"I not meaning to wake daddy." Solar said frowning, "but Tinky went get me a snack an Hedwig not give me letter but I no owl treats..."

Severus sighed and summoned some treats he kept for Lucius' owl and fed one to his son's pet. She gave the letter to him.

"It's from Draco."

"Dragon!" Solar cheered climbing on to his father's shoulder as he unfolded a picture of Hedwig and Artemis his own baby owl. "Oh, Uncle Luc is breeding him an owl!"

"it looks like it." Severus replied, "Now if you're going to stay up try and not wake your cousin or do anything too insane we have to go to Gringotts, and the Ministry tomorrow. So I would like you to at least try and sleep."

"I is trying..." Solar shrugged, "But I is thinking too much..."

Severus chuckled, as Tinky appeared.

"Well, then draw a picture for Draco while daddy gets a few more hours of sleep."

"Okay!" Solar slid down his dad's back and hit his feet running to a little desk he pulled out crayons and paper while he knawed on a carrot stick that was frozen it helped his soar gums he had been complaining about to Tinky. "Tinky is watching me..."

"Tinky is watching Baby Master!" Tinky said fixing her sailor skirt. "Tinky is here to watch all da baby heirs!"

Knowing it was true as the elf had at one point watched him and he was still alive Severus motioned his guests back to bed and headed back to his own wondering how long he would get before his son would somehow pop up on his bed and demand to have his nappy changed because Tinky was sleeping and Sniky did it wrong.

Severus had only gotten another two hours of sleep before said incadint occured. Dudley it seems had the same complaint as Solar as his screams had brought them into the room. Solar was trapped in the crib which he was not happy about while Dudley was getting his nappy changed. Severus had sighed and freed his son while Petunia took on the task of Dudley herself.

They were now at the Ministry and Dumbledore was heading their way. Solar was playing with his "Mini Padfoot" as he had named his dog while Dudley looked around in wonder. A bunny hit Albus right in the head and Solar laughed, Severus snorted and patted Dudley's head he made a note to buy the boy a gift.

"Severus, why do you have Harry Potter?"

"Who, Albus?" Severus asked, "This is mine and Lilys son Solaris Severus Snape." They were in the Auror's office. "I came to speak to the Head Auror about imprisoning Sirius Black for something he couldn't have possibly done."

'What do you mean by that?" the Minister asked, " Black betrayed that boy's mother..."

"He could not have!" Remus Lupin came up "Severus, thank Merlin you have Solar! Please tell them! They won't listen to ..."

Severus held up his hand and the wolf fell silent.

"You are being called." Remus jumped and quickly picked up Solar when Mini Padfoot hit him square in the face. He fetched the dog and began playing with the boy while he squatted down to see the other. "While I detest agreeing with the wolf he is right." Severus said, earning gasps the hatred was well known. " Black could not have turned them over as it would have hurt Solar if he did. Seeing as he is Solar's Soul Mate that is not possible."

Tired of being ignored by his werewolf Solar threw Mini padfoot at him and got to where he wanted in seconds. After awhile of playing with his wolf and cousin he began looking around. Then he began running around his wolf right behind him trying to catch him.

"PADFOOT!" He screamed , "PADFOOT, COME OUT, AND PLAY!"

Out of breath, his wolf scooped him up as his dad got close to doing the same.

"Padfoot, isn't here, Solar." his Moony said, " Padfoot is ... in time out..."

"Mummy put him in times out again, Moony?" Moony and Severus both blinked at him then his Moony burst out laughing while Severus took his son a smile playing on his face. Albus did not look amused. " What is Padfoot doin this time? Did he makes da nomes biggest, again? Or da radios play just louds music? Or ... did he and Prongs buy me da broom he promised me?!"

Moony was clutching his ribs his face red as he doubled over in laughter. Severus snorted but looked mortified at the same time.

"They did what now?"

Solar looked at the Minister.

"Dey is not meaning to blow it ups..." He said, "But Padfoot is bad at da changing things... he was tryin to make me a pet stuffed dragon..."

"Oh, it was hilarious." his Moony said, between breaths, "He had it breathing fire and all it took the four of us to get it turned back. Lily hexed him so bad for that one."

"and that is yet another reason your uncles are not allowed at my house, Solar." Severus said, "Lupin is the only one with common sense."

"If you is not letting Padfoot come I is throwing a fit worse den Dudley did when Sniky is changing his nappy." Solar threatend arms across his chest. " an just think I have better control over my magic den he does..."

Not liking the sound of that Severus and Remus both began making a case to get Sirius freed in the end a tornado and fire ball special by a very peeved baby got the job done. Along with threats of legal action and the name Lucius Malfoy popping out of Severus' mouth frequently. Albus Dumbledore looked as if he was going to murder them right there in the middle of the Auror Department.
