Chapter Two; The Snowman

Thanks Harry and Severus Snape lover you're so cool for following all of Harry Snape's adventures! Here's the next chapter!

The following week flew by for Harry and his family. Tomorrow was finally going to be the day that they were waiting for. Harry and his parents were all set to go to Switzerland while his siblings were set to go to their grandparents, and the dogs were set to go to the kennels. Harry really wished that he could take Cowboy with him, but he was glad that his dog would have Katie and the other dogs there to play with him.

That night his mother read to him his favorite Christmas story about a lost little kitten that had accidentally found himself inside Santa's pack and traveled to the North Pole. "Read the one about the baby Jesus and the talking animals please." Harry pleaded once she had finished.

"I'm sorry sweetheart but it's time for you to go to sleep. You've got a big day ahead of you tomorrow. I'll read it tomorrow night alright?" she questioned before she bent down and kissed his forehead. "Goodnight Harry, I love you." She told him as Cowboy leapt up onto the foot of his bed and curled up into a little ball.

"I love you too Mum." Harry told her as she stood up and smiled down at him before giving the dog's head a little pat and standing up. She walked over to the door and flipped the light switch off before turning around and leaving the room and closing the door quietly behind her. Of course Harry was way too excited to go to sleep and instead he kicked his covers off again and crawled down to the bottom of his bed and folded his hands as he saw a star shining brightly outside his window.

"Dear God, I think I know what for Christmas this year now. I want this to be the best family vacation ever and to be able to make somebody less fortunate than me and my brother and sister happy for Christmas. Oh and also, I really wouldn't mind getting a glow in the dark inflatable dragon. Amen." He said before he crawled back under his covers and rolled over onto his side and smiled while he began shutting his eyes tightly.

….

The next thing Harry knew it was morning and he could smell the scent of his mother making him flapjacks as usual. "Harry! Hurry up and get up sweetheart and eat your breakfast! The Weasleys will be here any moment now!" she called from the kitchen. Harry quickly reached for his glasses and put them on his face before he hurried down the hallway and rushed into the bathroom.

"Well Tobey and Eve are both changed, dressed, and ready to go." Snape began while carrying their suitcases down the hall. "As soon as Harry gets out of the bathroom he can feed the dogs and let them out before they have to go to the kennels." He said when suddenly a few moments later the toilet flushed and the sink started running for about a minute or so until Harry opened the door and picked up Cowboy and hoisted him up inside his arms since he was waiting right there for him.

"I'm sorry boy, but I won't be seeing you for a week or so." He told him.

"Harry hurry up and eat son, everyone else is set to go." Snape told him.

"Yes Father." Harry told him before he set the tiny black and white dog back on the ground and then raced over to the kitchen table and pulled out a chair and sat down. Meanwhile Snape picked Tobey and Eve up and held them by his hip.

"Hey, since you guys are already dressed and bundled up, do you want to go out into the snow and have some fun while were waiting?" he asked them.

"Yay!" Tobey squealed excitedly while extending his tiny little fists into the air as Eve just simply grinned and revealed her new mouthful of teeth. Snape grinned down at them before carrying them over towards the door.

"I'm taking that as a yes." He said.

"Don't be too long Severus!" Lily warned.

"Don't worry Lily we won't!" he called back to her as he set both of the children down after he had made it out the doorway and shut the door behind him. Eve opened her mouth and tried catching snowflakes on her tongue while Tobey sunk down onto his knees and started patting a snowball inside his hands.

"Come on Daddy let's make a snowman!" he cried.

"Alright buddy, I'll give you a hand hold on." He said. As soon as Harry was finished getting ready, he put on his hat and coat and ran out into the snow as well. He loved making snowmen because they actually moved in the wizarding world. He looked over at the progress that his father and brother were already making. They already had managed to roll one rather large snowball for the bottom while Eve laid down in the snow and made a snow angel nearby.

"Hey Dad!" Harry called as Snape turned to look up at him. "Can I help!?" he exclaimed.

"Are you finished getting ready?" he questioned him back as Harry gave a rather large grin and nodded. "Then go ahead, the more, the merrier." He told him as Harry bent down and started helping Tobey pat together another snowball. That's when suddenly Ron burst out through the door. Harry turned over to look at him with a sudden gasp of excitement.

"Ron!" he cried happily.

"Hey Harry, can I help?" he asked him.

"Sure, where is everyone else?" Harry asked him back.

"They're inside getting warm by the fire. They said that we've got five minutes until we leave." He explained while they finished making their snowman together. After all three snowballs were stacked on top of each other, Harry and Ron each got to put a button on either side of the top ball for the eyes, and Tobey stuck a carrot in it for the nose while Snape placed a couple of tree branches in either side of the middle ball while Eve decorated it with a line of a few of the other buttons.

Finally Harry placed his hat on top of its head and scarf around its neck and that's when suddenly it sprung to life and a smiled formed underneath its nose and it started laughing jollily. "Merry Christmas Harry." It told him as Harry grinned back at him.
