Another chapter for you!
Thank you for the reviews! :)
Severus walked into his rooms with Toby following behind yawning. It was now nearing to 2am and they both had to be up by 6am. Toby was going to find it hard to get up in a few hours; Severus was use to hardly any sleep.
Severus walked though his private chambers and up the spiral stairs with Toby slowly and tiredly following him.
Severus opened the spare room door and looked down at Toby.
"I hope this is okay for you." Severus said.
Toby nodded and walked in, all he wanted was to go to sleep. He was so tired.
"The bathroom is through there; I'll get the house elf to bring you something to sleep in." Severus said watching Toby walk into the room.
"I'm already ready for bed sir." Toby said pulling off his school robe and pulling back the duvet on the bed.
Severus looked at Toby with a smile; he watched the boy get into bed and wanted to tuck him in. Severus gave into the feeling and walked to the side of the bed Toby was laid on.
"I will wake you in the morning; we have to go to breakfast I'm afraid so we will have to get up at 6 which leaves little sleep time." Severus said looking down at Toby.
"Yes sir." Toby said yawning.
"Toby you don't have to call me sir when it's just you and me. You may call me Severus." Severus said looking at Toby slowly letting his eyes close.
"Yes sir." He mumbled as he slowly submitted to sleep.
Severus smiled at his son and pulled the duvet up around his and indeed tucked him in. He pushed some dark hair away from his face and looked down at the boy features. Thank God he didn't have his nose he thought.
"Goodnight Toby." He said as he looked down at his son.
As soon as Severus got into his room he stripped his clothes off and fell into bed exhausted but happy. His son had accepted him and had agreed to get to know him and for them to spend time together.
As he fell asleep he thought about Toby as a baby; he also thought about Hermione swelling with his child.
Regret fell over his body and he was lured to sleep.
At Hermione's house, it was a usual morning for her. She was getting ready for work and trying to make coffee for herself.
As she put on some mascara and put the kettle on she heard a knocking at her window. She rushed to the window realising it was Severus's owl. She opened the window and took the letter from the owl and shoved some bread at the owl. She closed the window and ripped open the letter.
Hermione,
I'm sorry I did not write to you sooner but I had nothing to report on. Toby came to me late last night. He couldn't sleep and needed to ask me some questions.
I answered his questions and we have come to an agreement that we are going to spend sometimes together to get to know each other. He seems happy with that and so I am. I am looking forward to get to know my son.
He stayed in my spare room last night because we didn't finish talking until 2 and he is still soundly asleep now.
He is doing well at school, already the top of his class in everything. You should be very proud you raised a bright, talented and well mannered boy.
I will write to you soon
Severus.
P.S could you send me some baby pictures of Toby I would like to see what he looked like.
Hermione smiled she was glad that Toby had gone to speak with Severus. Toby had accepted Severus in his life and had even stayed in Severus's Rooms.
Hermione sat down at the kitchen table and sighed. Toby was fine she could stop worrying.
At School, Severus walked into the spare room where his son was sleeping soundly. He slowly walked to Toby and touches his shoulder.
"Toby; it's time to get up." Severus said slowly.
Toby groaned and pulled the covers over his head. He didn't want to get up now; he was tired and he needed more sleep to be able to function.
"Come on Toby; we have to go to breakfast in half an hour. You need to get dressed. The house elves have brought your uniform. " Severus said trying to get the boy out of bed.
Toby opened his eyes slowly and looked at Severus.
"Come on; let's get you up." He said pulled the cover down to Toby's waist.
Toby sat up and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"I'll leave you to get dressed and then we shall go down to the Great Hall." Severus said as he walked out of the spare room.
Once Toby was ready in walked down to the living room to find Severus stood by the fireplace reading a letter from Hermione.
"Your mother is glad to know you are alright; she said you haven't written to her since you last saw her." He said to Toby.
"I didn't know what to say to her" Toby said looking down feeling guilty.
"That's okay Toby but I think she would appreciate a letter from you; she seems worried." He said.
"Yes Sir." He said.
"Toby remember you don't have to call me sir when it is just me and you." Severus said putting the letter down.
Toby nodded and looked at the pictures Severus was holding. "Did Mum send them to you?" He said.
"Yes; I asked for some pictures of you as a baby. I wanted to see what you looked like." Severus said looking down at the pictures.
They walked down to the great Hall together and worked out a story Toby could tell his friends.
"You felt ill and went to the Hospital wing and spent the night there." Severus said.
"Yes sir." He said
As they walked into breakfast Toby walked to the Slytherin table and sat down with his friends. Severus walked to the table and sat down beside Minerva.
Minerva smiled up at him with a knowing smile.
"Something you'd like to say Minerva?" He said looking down at the students eating breakfast.
"I'm glad you are working things out Severus." Was all she said.
I hope you enjoy another chapter!
