Chapter 4
The Next Move
Weeks went by and then months. It was towards the end of January and Peter Pettigrew still had not been located. In that Peter was an anamagious everyone figured he had transformed into the rat he truly was and was hiding in some hole somewhere, but in that form he would be next then impossible to locate. Lily and Harry had spent the Christmas holidays with her mother, Sirius, and Lupin. Petunia refused to come by but sent a gift of sweets to Lily and Harry. By this time it was starting to become apparent that Lily was pregnant, so she did end up having to make the announcement. She quickly noticed that once she did, Severus, who really seemed to be there for her the last few months suddenly became very distant. Sirius however had been more of a comfort then ever and had spent a large amount of time with her and Harry, which also seemed to aggravate Severus already cranky mood.
One Saturday in mid February Lily decided to confront Severus about his attitude. Harry was spending the day with him grandmother, who also unfortunately was watching Dudley as well. Severus was not in his room, instead she found him in his office grading papers.
"Is that all you do?" She joked. He however did not find it funny.
"Is there something I can do for you Mrs. Potter?" He asked in such a cold, distant tone it sent chills down Lily's spine.
"Yes, as a matter of fact. You can explain to me what you have been behaving like such a git lately."
"I assure you I have been my normal self." He said looking back down at his pile of papers.
Lily walked up to his desk; she put her hand gently on top of his. "Please Severus; tell me what is going on with you."
Severus melted at her touch. Her soft skin resting on him was almost too much to take in.Severus looked up into her beautiful green eyes. I can't tell her. I can't, she'll just laugh. "There is nothing wrong with me." He lied still looking into her eyes.
"That's not true Sev, and you know it" she said removing her hand from his. "Ever since I told you I was pregnant you have been so distant."
"You think so, do you?" He said finally looking away from her beautiful mezmorizing green eyes.
"I know so." Severus remained silent. "Please Severus tell me why this is upsetting you."
You might as well just tell her, she's smart, she'll figure it out eventually anyway. Severus took a deep breath and rose from his chair. He did not continue to look at Lily but walked over to the window and stared outside at the Womping Willow. "Mrs. Potter."
"Come on Sev, we talked about this, call me Lily."
"As you wish, Lily." His voice softened. "I-I care for you Lily, I have cared for you since I was 9 years old."
"I care for you to Severus." There was a quiet pause for almost a minuet.
"Lily, can I ask you a question?"
"Anything." She said walking over to him at the window.
"If I-had not called you that word, do you believe you would have stayed my friend."
Lily sighed. Looked out at the window at the tree. "I don't know Sev. You were my friend, but the people you hung around with, they scared me."
"Humm."
"Not that the Marauders were any better to you." She said looking back at him.
"They were horrible to me Lily." He looked back at her as well.
"I know."
"And then-then you go and marry one of them." He continued to talk in a soft, calming, but also a hurt voice.
"He changed Sev, he felt bad about the way he treated you, at least when he was older."
"Somehow I doubt that."
"It's true. From time to time he would mention how he felt bad that he was so mean to the best friend of the woman he loved."
"You did love James, didn't you?" He frowned. Deep down Severus had always hoped that Lily never really loved him and just married James to spite him.
"I did, I still do."
"Have you ever loved anyone else?" Lily was surprised that he would ask such a personal question, but then she thought she knew why.
"I think I was falling in love with another man at one point, but-
"Then I called you a mudblood."
Lily nodded.
Severus took a long deep breath. "Do you remember the kiss our 4th year."
Lily smiled. "I do."
"We were in Hogsmead; we decided to go for a walk." He reminisced now looking her into the eyes. "We went to a secluded area towards the shrieking shack".
"You said you had a surprise for me." She smiled at the memory.
"Yes." Severus smiled, "And then I kissed you."
"You did, and I liked it." Severus' eyes widened.
"You did?"
"I did. In fact I wondered why you didn't kiss me again after that."
Severus gave a small smile and looked back out the window. "The next day I saw you hug Potter. I-well I thought you wanted him.
"Sev." She said taking his hand. He looked back at her. "His father had just died." Severus was surprised, he had no idea that's was when his father had passed. "He just needed someone to comfort him, that's all."
"I-I didn't know."
"You could have asked."
"I suppose I should have."
"Sev, are you avoiding me because I am having James' babies?" She asked bluntly.
He nodded. "One I could deal with, but 3 future James Potters, I would rather not."
"Sev, he was not your enemy, and neither will my children be. Harry actually really likes you."
"Please Lily, no children like me. Just ask any of my students."
"Maybe not the teenagers you torture in class every day, but he does. The other day he said he missed you."
"No he didn't."
"He did. He doesn't have a father to look up to anymore; maybe he sees that in you."
"He has Sirius; he is his godfather after all."
"Sirius is a big kid Sev, he's a good guy, but I think Harry looks up to him as more of a big brother."
Smiled gave an inward smile at the possibility. Could he be a father-type to Harry Potter, James' little clone. "You really believe that?"
"I do."
"So what are we saying here then?" He asked, praying she was going to say what he had waited 17 years for her to.
"I think we are saying that as long as you don't mind being a father figure to 3 potters I would still very much like to be your friend."
Friend is not exactly what I had in mind. "Okay Lily, friends."
"Good." Lily then gave Severus a hug which he returned and then after a very wonderful minuet, reluctantly released.
Over the next month Severus did start spending more time with Lily and Harry again, he even bought Harry a magical potions book for kids. It was kind of like a pop-up book only the pictures moved on their own. Severus was not the only one spending time with Lily and Harry, Sirius had been as well. It had been almost 5 months since his best friend had passed away and he thought that it was time to make his intentions towards Lily clear. She had come over for Sunday dinner.
"I thought Remus was coming." She asked as she put her coat on the coat rack near the front door.
"He was, but he said something came up. Where's Harry?"
"He wasn't feeling too well so my mum is watching him."
"Oh." When Sirius turned a look of relief crossed his face. Now he wouldn't have to worry about being interrupted, he was already nervous enough. "Dinner is ready, shall we go eat."
"Absolutely, I'm starving."
Sirius smiled and led her into the dining room. He had the lights dimmed and candles lit which were floating in the air, even soft music played in the back ground. Lily was so taken back by the large array of food on the table she didn't even notice the romantic setting. She instantly sat down and began piling her plate with food.
"So, how are you feeling?" He asked taking a piece of chicken breast and placing it on his plate.
"Not bad. Tomorrow I have an appointment; I get to find out what I'm having."
"That's wonderful. Would you like me to go with you?"
"Actually I was hoping you would watch Harry. I can't take him with me." She said putting a spoonful of mashes in her mouth.
"Oh, sure, no problem."
"This is good Sirius." She said a mouth full of chicken. "Did you make it?"
"I wish I could take the credit for it, but Kreacher did it."
"I'm surprised he did, I thought he hated you."
"He does, but I told him if he didn't do a good job then I would give him a new shirt." The both laughed.
"I don't understand house elf's, they enjoy being in servitude, what kind of existence is that?" Lily shook her head.
"I guess it's been bread into them."
"Maybe." Lily shrugged.
"Lily, I need to talk to you about something." He said placing his fork on his plate and folding his hands, placing them quietly in his lap.
"Shoot." She said taking another bite of mashes.
"I'm going to need your full attention for this."
"Okay." Lily looked up from her plate and toward Sirius. She could tell he was really contemplating hard on how he was going to say, whatever it was he was going to say.
Sirius cleared his throat and then took a deep breath. "Lilly, last year, as you, James and Harry went into hiding, James made me promise him something, it was a Wizards Oath."
"What did he make you promise?" She asked looking very apprehensive at the possibilities.
"He told me that if anything should ever happen to him that I should-um, that I should-
"That you should what?"
"That I should court you and-and marry you."
Lily spoon dropped out her hand and hit her plate with a loud 'clank' "Wh-what." She asked thinking she couldn't have possibly heard him correctly.
"He didn't want you to be alone or have to care for Harry by yourself, and now with the twins on the way-
"Sirius, I couldn't-he only died- I don't think-
"I know it sounds crazy, but I promised him Lily, I made an oath."
Lily took a deep breath. "Sirius, it a lovely offer, but I don't feel about you that way."
"Oh I understand that, I didn't think you would, but I thought maybe if we spent some private time together we could grow to love each other."
Lily didn't know what to think. She had never seen Sirius as anyone she could be romantically involved with. He is handsome, but he's immature and a major flirt. "James really wanted this?"
Sirius nodded. "I know this is a bit shocking, but I-I just want to do the right thing."
"I really need to think about this, okay."
"Sure, just let me know when you're ready."
Lily was in complete astonishment, she had no idea her husband had made Sirius do such a thing. She could see why he would, in a way, but without consulting her, why would he do that? The next day at dinner Severus noticed Lily seemed distracted. Harry was throwing food, and she didn't even seem to notice. The students however found it quite amusing. One of boys from the Huffelpuff table shouted out. "Hey Harry, can you throw me a corn muffin, were all out here." To which of course everyone started laughing.
"Harry don't." Severus told him. "That goes in your mouth, not the floor."
Harry pouted but then said "okay Seveus." He had gotten his name down almost perfectly at this point, except for the "R" that is.
"Lily."
"Huh."
"Are you okay, you seem a bit distracted." Severus asked her as he wiped Harry's face clean with a napkin.
"Oh I'm fine."
"How did your doctor's appointment go?"
"Oh, great, I'm having boy's, identical." She said with little enthusiasm.
"I would think with that news you would sound a bit happier."
"I'm happy. I just sort of hoped at least one was a girl, but it's okay."
Severus couldn't help but think marry me I will give you a daughter and every other wish your heart desires.
"Sev." She said looking up from her plate to him.
"Yes." He said taking a bite of turkey.
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Severus almost choked on his food at the request. Which some the students at the Gryffindor table found absolutely hilarious. One of them even shouted out 'chew before you swallow professor'. Normally he would have given the braggart a week's detention for the remark, but he was much more interested in the question at hand.
"Pardon me?" he asked clearing his throat.
"A date, you know it usually involves dinner, and activity and a kiss good night."
Severus was speechless, but he did manage to squeak out "Kiss good night?"
"Maybe." She smiled taking a bit of corn.
"Um, okay." He agreed.
"Good. You can come by my room at 6 tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Unless you'd rather not."
"No, I would rather, but what about Harry." He said looking at the boy whose face was now covered in ketchup despite that he had just cleaned him not a minute before.
"I'll get someone to watch him." The next day, after her classes she knocked on Minerva's door.
"Hello dear what a pleasant surprise."
"Thank you. I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
"Sure dear, what?"
"Can you watch Harry for me tonight? I have some things I need to get and I really don't want him out that late."
"Sure dear, I'd love to."
"Great can I bring him by around just before 6?"
"That'll be just fine."
A few hours later she was all ready for her date. She had decided to wear muggle clothes, jeans and a light blue sweater. She put Harry in his pajamas and packed him a little bag including a change of clothes, diapers, and some of his favorite toys including the miniature flying toy broom that she had bought him in Hogsmeade back in November; it was rapidly becoming his favorite toy.
"Okay Harry." Lily told her son as she walked him over to Minerva's room. "Mommy has to go out so you're going to stay with Minerva for a little while."
"I want to go." He wined.
"No honey, just for grown up's this time." She walked Harry to Minerva's room and gave her instructions. "He already had dinner, but I put some snacks in their just in case he gets hungry. I brought his favorite toys and there are extra clothes and diapers."
"No worry's dear, it's been a while since my daughter was this age, but I think I can handle it."
"I didn't know you had a daughter."
"No?" Lilly shook her head. "Her name is Ester, she lives in America with her husband. I should tell you about her some time."
"I would love to hear about your family".
"Do you want to come in for a cup of tea before you go?"
"No thank you I better not keep Severus waiting."
"Severus?"
"He has to accompany me."
"Oh, right, well have a good time."
"Thank you."
She arrive back at her room the moment Severus walked up. He was wearing new robes, which were a navy blue instead of his typical black ones and he smelled like Strawberries. Lily had never seen him look so relaxed and handsome.
"These are for you." He said handing her a bouquet of lilies.
"Thank you Sev. Let me just put them in some water." Lily summoned a vase and put the flowers in it, she then manually filled the vase with water.
"I don't know if you have a preference, but I was hoping to take you to a restaurant in Diagon Alley. It's a café sort of setting. I've been there once before."
"Sure, sounds good."
Oh god she looks good! Those jeans make her a- no, no, be a gentleman. "You look very nice this evening." He told her as they headed out of the castle.
"Thank you, you do too. New robes?" He nodded. I shouldn't be thinking this but he looks really good. I wonder if he's built. It looks like it, but it's hard to tell under those robes. Oh what I'd give to…..no, no stop Lily you shouldn't be thinking about another man that way, but then again you are on a date. But should I be? "Is that strawberries I smell." She asked taking in a long breath allowing the lingering berry sent to enter her senses.
"Yes, new shampoo."
"I like it." Okay lily, you're not helping yourself just stop looking at him so much, and smelling him and…oh who am I kidding I can't.
"Thanks." Severus took a deep breath almost unable to believe he was on a date with the woman he had loved since he was 9 years old. Granted she had a kid and was 5 months pregnant, but he didn't care. He was on his way to finally being with his soul mate.
They arrived at the restaurant The Magic Dish just after six, and were seated at a table toward the back of the restaurant. They had ordered their drinks and were now looking at the menus.
"Lily." Severus said putting down his menu.
"Yes." She said still looking at hers.
"Not to look a gift hippogriff in the mouth, but why did you ask me out? I thought you just wanted to be friends". Lily put her menu down, looked up at Severus and smiled.
"Because I care about you. Spending time with you these past few months has made me realize how much." Severus smiled broadly. Truthfully she knew she cared for Severus, but the reason she had decided to ask him out was because of Sirius' proposal. She figured if he knew she was interested in Severus then maybe he wouldn't expect her to be with him. Of course that would be breaking the Wizards Oath he made with James, and she wasn't sure how she was going to get out of that.
"Lily, if it's okay after dinner I would like to take you back to Hogsmead."
"Okay, for what?"
"It's a surprise." He grinned.
"Ohhh, I love surprises."
"So do I." He smiled mysteriously.
Forty-five minutes later they were done with dinner and apparated to Hogsmead as Severus had suggested. They walked and walked until Lily finally asked where they were going.
"We're almost there." A few minutes later the store fronts had ended and trees and brush began, through the trees was the shrieking shack.
"What are we doing here?" She said looking over at the most haunted building in Britian.
"This." Severus pulled Lily to him and kissed her, hard and long, and only released his lips from hers to breath.
Lily just stood there her jaw dropped. Severus thought the worse. "I-I'm sorry Lily I shouldn't have assumed you- But before he could finish apologizing Lily had pressed her lips against his. They stood there, next to the shrieking shack kissing for another half an hour before heading back to the castle, they walked back, holding hands. Severus walked Lily to her room and decided to ask a rather bold question. "Would you mind if came in for a while." She smiled happily at the offer.
"Sorry Sev. I have to go get Harry from Minerva."
"Oh, right."
"I had a great time." She smiled.
"I did too." He took her hands in his, rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand. "I wish I could express how much this night meant to me." He said looking into her bright green eyes.
"I think I have an idea." Severus gave her a quick good night kiss and then whistled happily all the way back to his room. Lily freshened up and then went and got her son.
"How was he?" She asked Minerva.
"An angel as always." She said passing the sleeping boy to his mother.
"Did you have a good time in town?"
"Indeed I did." She smiled, trying hard not to give herself away.
"Humm." Minerva said analyzing the look on Lily's face. Lily could tell she was doing a horrible job at covering up.
"I do believe your blushing dear."
"Am I. It must he the cold air."
"Oh, it must be."
"Well thank you again." Lilly went back to her room and all night she dreamed of kissing Severus. The next morning at breakfast she sat next to Severus as usual, this time she put Harry to her right so he wasn't between them. She then smoothly grabbed Severus' hand under the table, so no one could see. They both quickly smiled at each other and then went back to eating their breakfast. Just as breakfast
ended Minerva came up behind Lily and whispered something in her ear, something that made her blush.
"What was that about?" Severus asked.
"She said that if I was trying to be sneaky I was doing a poor job of it and that I should ask you for pointers." Severus gave a small laugh.
"She's right. You know us Slytherins, we are always up to no good."
"Okay, well if you're so good at breaking the rules, where do you suggest we meet next without getting caught." She whispered.
"You want our relationship to be a secret?" He asked very disappointed at not being able to tell the world he finally had his Lily.
"For now." She answered simply.
"You don't want Sirius to find out, do you?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Because he likes you."
"No he doesn't Sev." She said in a very serious tone.
"Okay, stay in denial."
"Could I have everyone's attention please?" Professor Dumbledore said rising from his chair. "I would like to announce that we have a very special guest coming to Hogwarts. Kenton Green, from the Chudely Cannons will be visiting." Almost every student cheered at that announcement, Severus rolled his eyes. "He's going to put on a demonstration this Friday".
"Oh goodie." Severus said sarcastically.
"Sev, come on. You like quidditch."
"I like for my house to win, I do not like the sport itself."
"Now whose in denial."
"kiditch." Harry said clapping and laughing.
"I knew it; he'll play Quidittch, like his father." He said sounding disappointed in it.
"Don't do that please. I know you and James had bad blood but he was still my husband." She almost looked as if she was going to cry.
"I'm sorry Lily. I didn't mean it like that."
"I think you did."
"No, really, it was more of a joke then anything. I did not intend to cause you grief."
"Okay Sev, please just don't do it again."
"I won't." He said squeezing her hand and looking up at her. "I would never do anything to hurt you."
That Friday afternoon classes were canceled so all the students could watch the demonstration, and almost every student, teacher, and some parents made it for the event. Even Sirius and Remus dropped by, to the disappointment of Severus of course. Lily also noticed Moody sitting up in the stands along with two other Aurors and three other members of the order. Lily figured Dumbledore was being precautious because it was such a huge public event.
Severus was not very happy with having to hide his feelings for Lily, but because he promised, he was trying very hard not to give her friend's an inkling of his true intentions for her. He could be professional around the students and other teachers, but when he was alone with her he just wanted to hold her and kiss her, and do much more to her. He doubted however that he would get much alone time with her now that her late husband's best friends were keeping watch over her like a hawk.
The four adults and Harry waited anxiously for the demonstration to begin. They were not sitting in the stands, but standing at the sidelines right next to the keeper posts. Sirius had played Chaser his 5th and 6th year, alongside James, Remus had not played, not that he wasn't able, he just had other liabilities he needed to focus on, and Lily was more of a fan then a player. Of course she only became a fan because James played. Snape on the other hand, well no one really knew what he thought about Quidditch. He would always go to the games when his house played, but everyone assumed that was just because he hated to lose, at anything, and he loved to watch the losers reaction, especially when the losers were Gryffindor.
"I never took you for much of a Quidditch fan Snape." Sirius said, holding Harry in his arms.
"I do not believe you ever took me for much of anything, which is why you have no idea what I am like." Lily couldn't help but give a small laugh. Sirius glared at Severus and Remus looked away.
"Um, Lily, can I have a word alone with you for a moment." Sirius requested.
"Um, sure." Sirius handed Harry to Remus. Lily and Sirius walked to a secluded side of the Quidditch Pitch near the changing rooms. "I was wondering if you have given any thought to my proposal." He asked taking her hands in his.
"Oh, um, well yes, but you have to understand Sirius I'm not really in the state to date right now." She lied. "I would really rather wait until after I have the babies, and have settled in with them."
"Oh, of course. But you are still considering my offer?" Lilly nodded. She had planned on telling him about Severus, but not yet.
When they headed back to the others, Harry was now being held by Severus who was pointing at the wizard in yellow robes who had flown into the air. "He's a Keeper Harry. Severus explained."
"Why did you give Harry to him?" Sirius whispered to Remus.
"Harry asked for him."
"No he didn't."
"Yes, he did Sirius."
"Why would he be that close to Snape, he hardly knows him?" Sirius looked over at his godson who was still in the arms of the man he considered his enemy, even if he was on their side. He also saw the woman he promised his best friend he would marry looking up at Snape and smiling, and he smiled back. No, no, this can't be right; she would never fall for him, not over me. I'm 1o times better looking, and I have been her best friend since school. No, no she's just being polite, that's all."
Soon the demonstration was over Harry was ready for a nap. Lily took him back up to the castle; Severus was about to follow but Sirius grabbed his arm.
"I would advise you to let go of me Black." He said glaring harshly his teeth clenched wanting very much to pull his wand out of his robe with his free hand and curse the man for daring to touch him.
"Not until you tell me about you and Lily."
"What about us?"
"Are you seeing her?" Severus would have loved nothing more than to tell Sirius he was dating his best friend's wife. He knew it would put Sirius in a rage and give Severus proper cause to curse him. But he promise Lily he would keep their relationship a secret for now, so that is what he did.
"What would give you a crazy idea like that?"
"I saw the way you looked at her Snape."
"I am simply watching out for Mrs. Potter, under the direction of Dumbledore. If you do not like me spending time around her, I suggest you take it up with him. Now if you will excuse me." He said pulling his arm free for Sirius' grasp. "I have things to do." He then headed up to the castle, and of course to Lily's room.
"I saw Sirius grab your arm." Lily told him. She said quietly closing Harry's bedroom door and heading back into the front room.
"Yes, he did. He said he saw the way I looked at you, wanted to know if I was seeing you."
"And what did you tell him." She asked trying to play calm but Severus could sense the nervousness in her tone.
"That he was crazy." Lily took a deep breath of relief and sat down on the sofa, he sat beside her. "Believe me when I say it will give me great satisfaction to tell him when the time is right."
"I bet it will."She laughed.
Severus gazed into her emerald green eyes as he gently stroked her long red hair. "You have the most beautiful eyes in this world."
"Thank you." They then leaned in and kissed.
"Excuse me mamm." The portrait door interrupted them.
"This had better be important." Severus snapped.
"There is a Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin here to see you."
"Okay, tell them I will be there in one sec." Lily panicked. If Sirius saw Severus in there with her he would know for sure, and that wasn't the way she wanted him to find out.
"As you desire."
"I would apparate but you know that is not plausible at Hogwarts."
"I know, I know." She said franticly looking around for a place to hide him.
"Oh, I know, come with me."
She took his hand and went into her bedroom. "Believe me Lily I would normally jump at the chance but-
"Don't get ahead of yourself there buddy." She said grabbing a cloak from her closet. Put this on."
"Is this James' invisibility cloak?" He asked remembering how James had used it on numerous occasions to play cruel jokes on him.
"Yes, put it on." Severus put on the cloak and stayed in Lily's bedroom, while she answered the door.
"What took so long?" Sirius said bursting into her room followed by Remus.
"I was in the bathroom."
"You always were a horrible liar Lil." Sirius told her.
"I'm not lying, and don't call me Lil, only James called me that."
Sirius didn't answer but began to search her quarters. "What do you think you're doing Sirius?" Lily had her hands on her hips and glared at Sirius
"I know he's in here, the greasy haired git."
"Don't call him that!"
"Defending him again I see." He said as looked behind the sofa.
"Sirius, I think we should leave Lily alone." Remus advised his friend.
Sirius ignored him. "What happened that last time you defended him huh. He called you a mudblood." He reminded her.
"That was a long time ago Sirius." She said quietly.
"It wasn't that long ago he was a death eater though was it. Have you seen his arm Lily, he probably still has the mark."
"Sirius stop this, now!"
"Yes Sirius, you need to stop." Remus advised.
"Oh, go howl at the moon Remus."
"That's it." Lily took out her wand from her pocket, pointed it at Sirius and yelled "stupefy". Sirius flew across the room and hit the wall. "Now get out of my quarters before I do worse." She yelled. Sirius shocked that her friend had actually just stupefied him, got up and left without another word, Remus went with him. When they were gone Lily sat down on the couch in shock of what she had just done. Sirius was one of her best friends, but he shouldn't have said that about Severus, or about Remus. Lily looked up to see Severus looking over her; a blank expression on his face. She stood up. "That's didn't go well." She said. Suddenly a very odd thing happened Severus grew a wide smile on his face.
"What?" She asked, because what had just happen was not remotely funny. Severus didn't answer but pulled her to him and kissed her passionately.
"Wh-what was that for."
"I have never been more proud of you in all my life."
"Why?"
"You stupefied him."
"That wasn't funny; I could have really hurt him."
"Are you kidding, It was hilarious. And he deserved it."
"No he didn't."
"Lily you defended my honor and Lupins. You are a true Gryffindor." Lily smiled. "Now, my next question. Would a Gryffindor like to make out with a Slytherin?" Lily smiled and began to kiss her boyfriend.
