Chapter Two; Out to Dinner

Later on that evening Harry's parents took him and his little brother and sister out to Marty's Family Restaurant for dinner. Harry waited patiently in line with his father while Lily took Tobey and Eve to use the restroom. She waited by both bathroom doors for them to finish. A few minutes later the men's room door opened and Tobey came out of it shortly followed by his little sister who came out of the lady's room a few seconds later.

"Did you guys remember to wash your hands?" Lily inquired as both of the children nodded. "Alright then I'll take your word for it." She said before she took each of them by the hand and walked over to the line where Harry and his father were still standing. That's when all of a sudden a waitress arrived.

"How many are there in your party?" she inquired as she looked at Snape.

"Five." He replied.

"Right this way then." She told them before she led them away and all five of them sat down at the table. Harry and his father took one side of the booth while Lily, Tobey, and Eve took the opposite side. The waitress each gave them a menu before Eve raised her hand. "Yes mam?" the waitress questioned her with a grin before the little girl put her hand back down.

"Excuse me but I don't know how to read yet." She told her with a shake of her head.

"That's alright, I'm sure that your mummy or daddy can help you. By the way, I like your dress. Pink is my favorite color, and it matches your nails and ponytail holder." The waitress told her.

"What do you say Evie?" her mother inquired as Eve turned to look at her before she smiled over at the waitress.

"Thank you." She responded as the waitress nodded at her.

"You're very welcome. Can I get you anything to drink?" she wondered.

"Chocolate milk." The little girl replied while the waitress' quill magically hovered in the air and then scribbled her order down before glancing up at Tobey. "And what about you sir?" she asked him but since he didn't know that she was talking to him since he had never been to referred to as sir before, Lily had to help him out.

"Tobey, what do you want to drink?" she asked him.

"Milk!" he exclaimed before the quill began to scribble again and then the waitress glanced up at Lily.

"I'll just have some iced tea please." She said and once the quill finished scribbling she turned to look over at Snape.

"Coke please." He told her when her eyes finally fell upon Harry and the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

"I don't believe it. It's Harry Potter." She said with complete and utter astonishment and disbelief.

"Harry Snape actually but I get that a lot. And I would like a coke like my father please." He told her.

"Make that a small one though. He doesn't need more than that." Lily told her as the quill finally finished scribbling their orders.

"I'll be right back in just a second." She said before she turned around and walked away.

"So what do you think you would like to eat son?" Snape wondered while he glanced down at Harry who was busy unfolding the children's menu.

"I dunno. I'll probably just have some macaroni and cheese." He said while Tobey opened his bag of crayons and started to color.

"Can I have some ice cream?" Eve wondered as she glanced up at her mother.

"If you behave yourself and eat your dinner." She told her daughter.

"Yay!" she cried excitedly.

A few minutes later the waitress came back to their table carrying their tray of drinks. "Here you go, now do you know what you would like to order?" she questioned them.

"Evie, why don't you go ahead and start baby." Lily told her.

" A plain hambooger with ketchup and mustard." She told her as Harry and his father both lowered their heads and grinned so that Lily couldn't see how much they were struggling with trying to hold their laughter inside of them.

"Alright do you want a side of fries with that?" the waitress asked her once the quill had finished scribbling down her order.

"Yes please." Eve replied with a nod before the waitress turned over to Tobey who ordered some pizza. After that it was Lily's turn to order and she decided to choose chicken and dumplings for her meal, Snape ordered a pizza like his youngest son Tobey with a side order of breadsticks and Harry ordered some breaded chicken and French fries for his supper. After the waitress finished getting all of their orders she promised that she would be back later with their food.

About twenty to thirty minutes later their meals finally arrived and were placed on the table in front of them. "Harry sweetheart, would you like to say grace tonight?" Lily asked him.

"Yes I would." He told her.

"Alright, it's time to bow our heads and pray to Jesus now." She said while stopping Tobey and Eve from trying to eat in the process. Eventually both children bowed their heads, closed their eyes, and folded their hands to pray. Meanwhile Harry, Snape, and Lily all took ahold of each other's hands before bowing their heads and closing their own eyes.

"Dear Lord, bless this meal that we're about to receive. Thank you for us being able to sit down at the table as a family to enjoy it. And most of all thank you for giving your Son to die on the cross for our sins so that we can enter the kingdom of Heaven someday to be with you. Help us to remember that Lord in this Easter season. This we ask in your name, amen." He said.

"Amen." Both of his parents said.

"Amen let's eat!" Eve exclaimed eagerly as Lily and Severus both laughed before everyone started to eat.
