Prologue

October 31, 1981

It was the most foolish thing he had done in the entirety of his life. It was more stupid than giving birth to his two baby boys, when he realized who exactly the fathers were and then contacting said fathers. However, he always knew that he was never rational when it came to Lily Potter nee Evans. And yet after his business with Gringotts, he had still approached her and dined with her when he realized it was her.

He had not seen her in about two years since he had graduated in 1979. He hadn't been in England since he completed his Potions Mastery in October of that year. He had traveled around the world collecting samples of the magical wildlife, until it became hazardous towards the health of his unborn babies. He settled in a quaint village in Spain for the remainder of his pregnancy and gave birth to two lovely boys on the 24thof March in 1980.

After their birth he sent his little one's birth certificates to the British Ministry of Magic in order to make Damon Airell Snape (Gentle, Nobleman) and Regan Ailis Snape (Little king, Noble or Honest) British citizens and inform the inept Ministry of their birth. He finally left for Britain in July of 81. He stayed in an inn near Diagon Alley as he waited for Prince Manor to be aired, purified of dark artifacts, warded by goblins against anything and everything, refurnished and refurbished.

However, irrational as it was he sat with her and spoke to her in Diagon Alley in a little café that was relatively new. She had her child with her. A cute baby cherub with black messy hair, and Lily's green eyes.

"Severus! So I see you decided to drop the glamor….It's about bloody time if you ask me." Lily said lightly with a teasing light in her eyes. "It is a good thing no one ever asked you then. Isn't it?" Severus shot back teasingly. "So I see you have your child with you. Quite the adorable thing isn't he?" Severus said as he watched the young boy gurgle and coo at the passers by. "Yes my little Harry certainly is a cutie." Lily stated proudly while she cuddled her baby for extra emphasis. "So, tell me Severus, what brings you back to Britain? Last time I heard, you were in some jungle somewhere doing Potions Research." Lily asked inquisitively with a tilt to her head that was copied by the child that he, now, had the attention of. Severus looked at Lily and then at young Harry and sighed. "I have decided to come back to settle." Severus said with a little distaste. Lily snorted, so of guard was she, 'who would ever think that Severus would ever settle. Especially here in Britain. "That's nice to hear Severus. However you do realize that there has been a war and that has escalated quite a bit since you left." Lily said while trying to smother her laughter at the idea of Severus settling. The picture she got was of Severus in a pink apron in a kitchen making dinner for his husband. "Yes well that's why I'll be moving into my manor this day. All is ready now, or so Gringott's tells me, and they are never wrong when it concerns one of their more rich and older clients." Severus stated with a sniff. "Oh come off it Sev. You know I don't mean to laugh. Its just… You have to admit that you have never been one to settle. I mean, you always said that you would travel the world well into old age, doing your research." Lily said in a placating manner.

Severus simply sighed and stated, "Do to certain circumstances I decided to settle." "And what would those be?" Lily asked inquisitively. Severus looked at Lily and then quickly and softly said, "My twins." Lily did not hear him and asked with a grin, "What was that? Didn't catch that." More loudly but still a whisper so as others that were around would not be able to hear Severus answered, "My twins. I want them to know Britain." Lily's jaw dropped and stared gobsmacked at Severus. "I-I-I….W-wwhat?!" Lily shrieked slightly hysterical with the idea after she had processed it. "Where are they? How old are they? Who's the mother?" Lily shot of with rapid succession. Harry gave a startled cry when he heard his mother's explosive response to Severus. Severus breathed in relief when Lily's attention went from him towards her son. But after Lily settled her son she shot laser beam eyes at Severus with an obvious command in them. "They are at a nearby inn being watched by Tilly, my house elf. They are a year and seven months old. I am the mother." Severus said in a whisper. "Now quiet down woman. I don't want everyone to hear you and then have their tongues wag." Severus snapped.

Lily flushed do to the reprimand and then said in a hushed tone. "Sorry Severus. It just came as such a shock… So they're with Tilly. And a Year and seven months…" Lily trailed of as she did the math in her head then her eyes widened once the dots were connected. "You gave birth to them? You were barely out of school when you got pregnant then." Severus blushed prettily at that and muttered under his breath, "On the last night." Lily stared wide eyed at her friend and then smirked, "Oh my Sevvy. Who would have thought that the proper and prim Severus Snape would ever succumb to the pleasures of the flesh while he was at school still." Lily quietly said with a flourish, completely and utterly ignoring the fact that Severus said it was their last night. Severus for his part was tomato red. "So who is the father?" Lily asked slyly. Severus quickly regained his color and said on a slightly sad note, "They are not in the picture. They don't even acknowledge the existence of their children." Lily saddened at that and then said softly, "Well I'm sure they that they will regret ever not acknowledging your children Sev."

Then Lily leered at Severus, and Severus for his part felt a shiver of dread run up his spine. "So, a 'ménage a trois'? Why Severus who would have ever thought it. Certainly not I." Severus turned crimson and got up after putting some sickles and nutts on the table, effectively paying for their luncheon, and said hurriedly, "Would you look at the time. I must be of now can't keep my babies waiting any longer." 'I am not running away. I am simply taking a strategic exit.' Severus thought to himself in comfort. He hurried away from Lily's laughter and cat calls, his cheeks slightly pink.

As Severus opened the doors to the café he heard shouting and screaming. Looking about, Severus spotted cloaked figures with white masks wreaking havoc as they approached the little café. 'Death Eaters' Severus thought in a panic. Then a sudden silence, there was a soft pop of apparition and Severus felt fear as he looked upon the figure of the Dark Lord Voldemort. Severus shut the door and ran into the café. The patrons and staff were already in a panic. The Death Eaters put up anti-apparition wards. So they could not escape. The Dark Lord entered a sickly smile upon his face. His eyes zeroed in on Lily. "Lily Potter. I have been looking for you for quite a while.. Now give me your child." He said in a commanding tone. "You will not have him!" Lily yelled in righteous fury. "Give him to me!" Voldemort snapped. "Not my child! Not my Harry." Lily continued to yell. "Give him to me and I shall let you live." Voldemort tried again in a more persuasive tone. "NO." Lily said with finality. However an unknown patron ripped Harry from Lily's arms and slowly walked towards the Dark Lord. She snakingly said, "I will not die because of you." Lily was then held back by the other patrons that also wished to survive.

Voldemort smiled, "You will not regret thisss." He then rose his wand at a whimpering Harry and said with cold glee, "Avada Kedavra." The green spell shot towards a crying Harry and when it connected many things happened. Lily ripped away from her captor and ran towards her child. There was a flash of power that knocked Severus towards a wall. And finally the establishment was collapsing upon itself.

The Death Eaters dropped the wards and apparated out when they saw the building begin to fall. They looked for their lord but there was nothing. Aurors began to pop in to check for survivors however the rubble of the building was in the way, so they began to lift the rubble with 'Wingardium Leviosa', in order to dig for survivors.

When Severus came to, he slowly got up. He took inventory of himself and came into the conclusion that, no he was not truly injured. He had a scrape here and there and his body ached, but he was fine. He then began looking for Lily, 'I can not believe the stupidity of some people' Severus thought in anger as he played back the happenings of what had happened. "S-s-s-se-v-vu," a weak voice called out. Severus' head snapped to attention in the direction it was coming form. Severus lit a Lumos and approached a half crushed Lily. He paled drastically after seeing that half her body was crushed by fallen debris. "Ha-h-a-r-ry." Lily gasped out as blood trickled out of her mouth. Severus found a perfectly fine Harry a little aways from her. He was sleeping, but Severus still did a diagnostic spell to check. He frowned when he saw that there was a little dark magic coming from his forehead area but decided that it could be looked at in greater detail later.

He went back to Lily, "He's fine Lily." Lily then grabbed Severus's arm weakly and with the little power she had, began to draw symbols on Severus's arm (in her blood) and then repeated the action on Harry's belly. She then grabbed Severus's hand and looked him directly in the eye and as if possessed began to intone, "Will thou Severus Tobias Snape, Love, Cherish, Adore, Protect, Nurture, Care for and Make Happy one Harry James Potter? Son of Lily Potter nee Evans and James Henry Potter. Will thou stand by his side and become family?" Severus felt the magic entering his skin and calling out to him in a daze assured his beloved Lily flower, "I Severus Tobias Snape of the Ancient and Most Royal House of Prince do here by swear that I shall Love, cherish, adore, protect, nurture, care for and make happy one Harry James Potter. Son of Lily Potter nee Evans and James Henry Potter, whom is still alive. Furthermore I do so state that I will stay by his side if not physically at all times then spiritually and become his family in magic if not by blood." In a flash of warmth the bond was form and Lily smiled "I love you my child". Severus snapped out of his daze as he felt the most ancient of Gaia Bonds form. He gazed at Lily silently and felt tears fall as he saw the light leave Lily's eyes. He took in a harsh breath and looked upon the baby in his arms and smiled tenderly at him. "Home" Severus said softly and the Port Key activated taking him to Prince Manor.
