Another day, another chapter. I hope everyone likes this one. It even has a little Severus and Lily flashback

Day 10: Frosty the Snowman

"Harry, if you want to go outside, you better have your snowpants, boots, coat, hat, mittens, and scarf on," Severus called out as he pulled a black turtleneck on. He scowled as he thought about what Harry and he were going to go and do. Harry wanted to make a snowman. Out of all things, the boy wanted to make a snowman.

Severus would have loved to do several other things with this son. He would have loved to make potions with the boy, colored with him, read him a story. Heck, Severus would have even played with those little dragon figures that Harry loved so much. But, no. His son wanted to go out and build a snowman with him. This whole thing started a week ago.

Severus had flooed over to the Burrow after his last class of the day like he normally did. As usual, Harry was right there to greet him with hug. "Daddy, guess what?" The little seven year old exclaimed.

"I couldn't even guess, Harry," Severus had said as he patted his son's head.

"We went outside today and we builded a snowman. Actually, Percy helped Ron and me build one while Fred and George kept throwing snowballs at everybody." Harry grabbed his hand and drug him over to the window. He pointed out the lopsided snowman. "See, Daddy. Look!"

Severus ruffled Harry's hair. "It's very nice, Harry."

Harry looked up and smiled. "We should build one together."

Severus shook his head. "I don't think so. You know I despise the snow."

"Pleeeeaasse, Daddy. It will be just you and me. It will be loads of fun," Harry pleaded with the potions master.

Molly stood in the corner of her kitchen and laughed. "Oh, Severus. Loosen up a little and do something with your son. Believe me, Arthur and I have made our fair share of snowmen over the years."

Severus snorted and gave the woman a look. "I haven't built a snowman in almost twenty years."

She gave him a sympathetic look. "Then I suggest you make one soon. It will do your heart some good."

Severus looked down at his son again, green eyes staring up at him. "Please, Daddy."

Those green eyes always melted his will and unfortunately, they melted his will again.

Severus sighed as he pulled on his sweater. Lily had used those green eyes on him when they had built their first snowman.

Ten year old Severus Snape knocked on the front door of the Evan's house. He was bundled up in his warmest winter clothing. It was all secondhand, but it kept him quite warm. Lily, who was all dressed in her winter wear as well, opened the door. "Severus!" she exclaimed. She turned back around to face her mother who was in the kitchen. "Mom, I'm gonna go out and play with Severus."

"Alright, dear." Her mother had said as Lily shut the front door. "Come on, Sev," she said pulling his arm. "Let's go build a snowman."

Severus stopped and looked at Lily. "I've never made a snowman before, Lily."

Lily had looked at him shocked. "Really?" He nodded. His father would have never allowed something like that in his front yard. "Well then. I guess you're in for a treat."

Harry appeared in his door and Severus laughed at the sight that met him. Harry was bundled up from head to toe; the only visible part of him was his green eyes. "Harry, come here." Harry waddled over to Severus and the man helped Harry unfluff a little.

Once they were both ready to go, they both headed outside with Harry holding on to Severus's hand. There were several students outside playing in the freshly fallen snow. Most of them waved at Harry, and only a few first years gawked at the sight of their potions master holding the little boy's hand. Looking down, Severus said, "Harry, you pick the spot for your snowman." Harry nodded and pulled the man over to his favorite tree.

"Right here, Daddy. That way Granpa Albus can see it from his office," Harry told him as he dropped to his knees.

"Sounds good, Harry," Severus said as he looked up towards Albus's office. He saw the old man standing there, staring out the window. Severus waved and smirked when the old man returned the gesture. Turning back to his son, he said, "Alright, Harry. What do we do first?"

"Lily, what do we do first?" Severus asked as he dropped down to his knees next to his friend.

"First," Lily said as she made a snowball in her hands, "we need to build the bottom."

"How do we do that?" Severus asked as he watched her place the snowball back on the ground.

"Well, you just roll the snowball around on the ground until it gets really big," Lily told him as she started to roll the small snowball around on the ground. To Severus's surprise, it started to get bigger. After a little bit, Severus asked Lily if he could try and she let him. When it got big enough, the two had to push it around together. Finally, when it got too big to push around anymore, they stopped.

"Daddy, will you make me a snowball?" Harry looked up and asked the man hopefully. "I need one to make the snowman's bottom."

"Of course, Harry." Severus reached down and grabbed a handful of snow. It packed it tightly in his hands and then handed it to his son.

Harry reached up and grabbed it from him and started to roll it about. "Thanks!"

Severus smirked as he watched his son make the snowball bigger and bigger. "You're welcome, Harry."

The man watched as the snowball grew bigger and bigger. Finally, when Harry was having problems pushing it around himself, he looked up at the black haired man. "Daddy, can you help me? It's too heavy." Severus nodded. Being much bigger and stronger than he had been when he was ten, their snowman's base ended up being quite large. Unable to push it any further, Severus finally stopped.

Harry stepped back to examine their work. "Wow. That's even bigger than the one we made at the Weasley's."

Turning to look at his redheaded friend, Severus asked, "What do we do now?"

"We do the same thing, only this time, we make it a bit smaller," Lily told him and let him start it this time.

True to her word, the two worked together until they had the right sized snowball. Looking at, Severus asked, "What do we do with it?"

"We stack it on top of the bigger one."

Working together, the two ten year olds managed to hoist it on top of the other one.

"We gots to make another now, Daddy," Harry told the man.

"Have to Harry. We have to make another," Severus corrected as he made his son another snowball. Graciously taking it, Harry made the second layer for their snowman.

When it was the correct size, after some help from Severus of course, Harry turned to the man and asked, "How are we gonna get this on top of the other one?"

Severus pulled out his wand and levitated it onto the larger one. "With magic, Harry."

Looking at their almost completed snowman, Severus said, "Let me guess, we need a head now?"

"Yep." Lily said already making the head. Severus didn't help as much this time seeing as the head was much smaller than the rest of the snowman. When she finished, she turned to him and said, "Could you help me lift it up, Sev?"

"Sure," the small black haired boy said as helped lift the head and put it on top of their snowman.

"One more for the head, Daddy," Harry said as he watched the man make him another snowball.

"Yes, Harry, I know," Severus said when he handed the boy the final snowball.

When Harry had the proper size head for his snowman, he looked Severus with a smile, "Can you lift it with magic again?"

Severus raised an eyebrow. "What, don't think your old man is strong enough to lift it?"

Harry shook his head. "No, Daddy. I think you're very strong. I just like watching you do magic is all."

Severus merely chuckled as he lifted the head with his wand.

"Ok, what do we do now? Or is it finished?" Severus asked looking at their snowman.

Shaking her and laughing, Lily said, "Of course not, he needs a face and arms."

The two gathered up some rocks and formed a face on their snowman without the nose of course. Lily had run into the house to get a carrot from her mother for the nose while Severus was left to find two sticks for the arms.

"Daddy, will you make the face?" Harry asked looking at the man hopefully. "I'm too short."

"I have a better idea." Grabbing his wand and a handful of black stones, Severus levitated his son up so he was level with the snowman's face. "Why don't you do it?"

"Thanks!" Harry exclaimed as he made a face on the snowman. He even laughed in delighted when he saw the carrot Severus brought out for the nose.

Harry insisted that Severus add the arms.

Lily had not only come out with a carrot, but also with one of her father's old hats.

"What's that for?"

"It goes on top of his head." Lily told him as she placed it on top of the snowman.

Harry, much to Severus's surprise, pulled one of Albus's pointed hats from his pocket.

"Harry, did you take that from your Grandfather?"

Harry nodded. "Yep, but I asked Gramma Min and she told me it was okay." He handed his father the hat. "Will you put it on for me?"

Shaking his head, Severus placed the hat on top of the snowman.

"What should we name him?" Lily asked her friend.

Severus shrugged. "I don't know. It doesn't matter to me."

"We gotta name him now, Daddy," Harry told his father, looking at his snowman.

"It's your snowman, Harry. You get to pick the name."

Harry frantically shook his head. "No, Daddy. We built it together. We hafta name it together."

"Well," Severus said after thinking for a moment. "I'm sure whatever name you pick, I shall agree with."

"We'll call him Frosty," Lily said. "What do you think?"

"Frosty the Snowman?" Severus said, looking at the snowman. "I like it."

"How 'bout Frosty, Daddy?" Harry asked hopefully.

Severus looked down at his smiling son with his rosy red cheeks. He picked the boy up and placed him on his hip. "I think Frosty is a fine name, Harry."

Harry leaned against the man. "Thanks for making him with me, Daddy."

"Thanks for teaching me, Lily," Severus happily said. "It was a lot of fun."

"You're welcome, Sev," Lily told him. "I enjoyed it as well."

Severus held his son tighter. "You're most welcome, son."

Yay! Please review! Thanks for reading!
