Albus Dumbledore POV (I know what am I getting myself into right?)

"Albus! Albus!" Cried Professor McGonagall, running up the stairs her had puffing from the exercise

"Yes Minerva?" I asked patiently. I honestly had better things to do with my time and I was stressing about the twins. Would they accept them? Of course they would. I had never met them personally and Lily had always said that they were nice but they weren't very open to magic. James had always guffawed at that saying that they were insensitive buffoons which had always earned him a slap on the head from Lily. But they would I know that every human muggle or wizard had a part in them that would help their families.

"Albus? Did you hear what I just said?"

"No sorry I zoned out. I was thinking about the Potter babies!"

"That's what this is about!" cried Minerva in obvious exasperation

"What? What happened to them? Death eaters?" I asked standing up and grabbing my wand.

"Well not both but Katie! They took Harry but not Katie! They've left her at the local orphanage!"

"They WHAT!" I wasn't one to lose my temper but did those idiots have any idea what they had done. I was starting to agree with James on this.

"We have to go get her! What if the death eaters find out? She'll die for sure!" Minerva was on the verge of a break down.

"Snape will do it." I said calmly. Snape had agreed at 3 am to help me with the twins.

"WHAT!" screeched Minerva.

"Minerva calm down or your going to give yourself a heart attack!"

"But… But… Snape? Death eater? Do you want her to die?" she stuttered

"Trust me that Snape has come to our side." Oh why did Snape not want me to tell her?

"I do trust you but I think that it is very unwise to let him do something so important." She said trying to calm down.

"If you trust me you will go and get Snape for me. He is going to be the Potions Master here at Hogwarts. No- I am well aware that he is a newly reformed death eater." I said, the last part to silence her.

"Very well." She huffed.

"Good." I said sitting down. She walked out and went to get Snape.

Snape's POV

Minerva McGonagall had come to get me about the Potter girl. I understood that I had made a promise to Dumbledore but I hadn't expected to be called up so soon. Yet, somehow I was excited that I would finally get to meet Lily's baby daughter, Katie.

Lily.

How could I possibly have let her die like that. Why did she choose to die? Because she loved her children. She had wanted to keep her children safe. I know that James was killed before Lily. I know that Lily had chosen to die. That was clear. But what I don't understand is how the children had survived. How had they done it. They were 14 months old for heavens sake!

I would always feel remorse and I knew that I would never love again because I had lost the one true love I had ever had even thought when Lily was alive I knew that I had lost her to James Potter. At least he had made her happy. I was glad for that at least.

The muggle contraption (otherwise known as a 'car') started to splutter and lights were going off. Why couldn't these people be more civilized in their modes of transportation? Then out of the mist I saw a sign pointing left saying 'Little Winging Orphanage) Finally. I thought. I pulled in and started to walk to the door.

When I was inside I walked to the desk. Would they let me have her? Dumbledore's instructions were to use as little magic as possible.

"Hi, I am here to adopt." I said to the rather portly lady at the desk.

"Are you know?" she said arching an eyebrow at me.

"Yes I am. What is wrong with that?" I asked indignantly.

"Oh, nothing, nothing you just don't seem like the adopting sort. That's all." She said walking towards the door to the left of the small dusty room.

"So, what were you looking for?"

"Well, I was hoping for a young child actually, perhaps a baby."

"Are you sure you could handle that? You do seem awfully young to do so." She said. That's it I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't going to let me anywhere near the children, let alone the Potter girl.

"Timos Stoppus." I muttered to myself. All of a sudden time stopped. The lady in front of me was frozen. Her facial expression of mistrust was stopped in time. I just had to look for the only person in the next room who would still be moving. Katie. I looked and there was a little boy peering over the cot not moving at all well he's a muggle. I thought to myself. Underneath was a baby. A giggling baby girl, her face lit up with amusement and delight. She looked around the right age. But the look into her eyes said it all. James' eyes. But she had Lily's dark brown hair with natural golden highlights that went down to her chin. However, her hair had a curl to it, unlike Lily but it was rather like Petunia's hair. But not as curly it was a slightly wavy style but had little ringlets as well. She really was a beautiful baby. Everything except the eyes was Lily. She was going to be a Heartbreaker when she's older and I knew that it was my job to become a sort of brotherly figure to her. Certainly not a father figure, I was sure that Dumbledore would take care of that role. Besides, I was not ready to become a father at the mere age of 21. I felt attached to her even though I had only looked at her for two minutes. She really was quite engaging. But she would never want to be a sister to me. She would never want to have anything to do with me. When she found out about my past, when she found out about my falling in love with her mother. She would hate me. She would despise me.

All of a sudden a musical laugh came from her tiny mouth and she reached up at me. Waiting for me pick her up. So I did. And the minute I touched her I felt a connection, a strong connection that we would stay strong as a team. I could tell that she would have a tough road. I looked more closely at her and held out my thumb so that she could squeeze it with her little hand. When she did, she smiled. When I looked at her face I saw a scar in the shape of a lightening bolt. Dumbledore had told me about that. I lightly placed my index finger on it and when I did so a beam of light came from her forehead and beamed to my left. I turned and there I saw them. There I saw two figures standing tall and smiling at me. I nearly doubled over in shock.

"Severus, there is something I need to tell you, please listen to me." Said a smiling Lily Potter, her green eyes shining.
