Chapter 13: Planning, and Talking.

Severus, and Lily were sitting in Severus's chambers, discussing where they would go from there.

"You, and Harry have been getting along haven't you?" Lily asked, in a somewhat hopeful voice.

"Ever since I brought him back from the muggle hospital, yes. Before that, we couldn't stand each other." Severus replied, softly. Lily nodded.

"Severus, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I wanted to but by the time I had found out, James, and I were already in hiding." She said, a pleading note in her voice. Severus sighed.

"I know, Lily, I know I don't blame you at all. I am just glad that he no longer has to be with your wretched sister, and her husband." He said, feeling anger at the Dursleys that had caused his son pain. Lily put a hand on his arm.

"I know, we will make them pay." She told him, fiercly. Severus raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"I thought you said that you should never harm family." He said, smirking.

"They hurt my son, and I will be damned if I am going to let them get away with it." Lily replied, a calm look on her face.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side, ever again." Severus said, with an amused look on her face. Lily gave him a smile.

"I never remind, or warn." She told him.

"Oh yes thats right." Severus said. "So, tell me how did you get here? I thought you were dead. I saw you dead." He asked. Lily shrugged.

"I honestly have no idea. It was like one minute I was just floating around minding my own business, when someone, or something, came and told me that I was wanted back in the Land of the Living." She replied.

"It must have been Harry's birthday wish." Severus said.

"Wow, Sev did you figure that out for yourself?" Lily asked him sarcastically, though smiling.

"You know, between you, and me, Harry is going to be a very sarcastic person. You do realize this don't you?" Severus asked.

"Hey, being sarcastic is fun. Whatever happened to 'I've been sarcastic ever since I could talk. Before that I just pointed and laugh'?" Lily asked, trying to make her voice sound close to his.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. Not" Severus said. Lily laughed.

"So, have you changed Harry's last name to Snape yet?" She asked.

"Thats going to be done tomorrow."

"Are you going to change his middle name too?"

"Only if he wants to." Severus told her, secretly he hoped Harry would want to change his middle name.

"I'm glad you're not making him do anything he doesn't want to." Lily said, resting her head on his shoulder. "But, what are we going to do now?" She asked.

Severus pondered for a bit. "Well, I was thinking that tomorrow, while we're at the Ministry, we could get you back on the Alive list, and then, possibly, get married." He said. Lily snapped her head up.

"Are you serious?" She asked.

"No, I'm Severus. Sirius, unfortunately, died." Severus replied, smirking. Lily glared at him.

"Thats not funny, Sev." She said, sternly. "Have you talked to Harry about it?" She asked, this time, concern on her face for her son's well being.

"Of course I have." Lily sighed in relief.

"Good. So, tell me all about Harry's life at school." She said, Severus raised an eyebrow at her.

"Wouldn't you rather hear it from him?" He asked. Lily shook her head.

"No, he could lie to me about it. Don't get me wrong, I trust him, but he's sixteen, and could lie to me. Easily." She said. "Besides, I will have him tell me his version later."

"Okay, here it goes." Severus began, and he proceeded telling Lily about Harry's first five years at Hogwarts, going into much detail, and leaving out some parts that he figured Harry should tell her.

"And now, here he is." Severus said, finishing. Lily looked at him, with unshed tears. "Lily, don't cry. He's fine, we even may have found something to destroy Voldemort." The tears that were in Lily's eyes started flowing, and she flung herself in Severus's arms.

"My poor little boy had to go through so much! I feel terrible much more now, for not telling you about him, all those years ago." She cried, and put her her head in in the crook of Severus's neck.

Severus put his arms around her comfortingly on the back. "Lily, it'll be fine. We're all here now, and we can make it better." He said, gently, holding on to her tightly.

"I know, but its just that, he went through alot. Some of it on his own. When I get my hands on my sister, they are going to have hell to pay!" Lily said hotly, her tears forotten. She looked up at him. "I just can't believe that she would do all that, Sev. I mean, I knew she hated me, and what I am, but she didn't have to take it out on my son, did she?"

"No, she didn't. But we will get her back for this, my Lily flower. You can take that to the bank." Severus replied.

"Good. I want to go find Harry, and talk to him. Oh, that reminds me. Is he dating Hermione Granger?" Lily asked, noticing the way the two were looking at each other.

"Not yet, but I can tell its going to happen." Severus replied, a knowing look on his face. Lily smiled.

"Okay, I'm going to go find Harry, so I can have a talk with him." She said, standing. Severus stood with her.

The two walked out of the chambers, and headed towards the Great Hall. They looked in there to see if Harry, and Hermione were in there. Unfortunately, they weren't but Harry's gifts were. Severus walked over to them, said a spell, and the gifts were now in Harry's room.

"Where would they go?" Lily asked him.

"They are either in the Library, or the Chamber of Secrets, which they better not be." Severus replied, rather menacingly.

"Why?" Lily asked, surprised at Severus's tone.

"I specifically told Harry, that if he went into the Chamber of Secrets alone, then I would be forced to punish him." Was the reply.

"But, he's not alone if he's with Hermione, is he?" Severus raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Granger may be as smart as you, and Lupin combined, but I don't think that they are old enough to be in the Chamber alone." He said. Lily nodded in understanding.

"I'm sure they're not in the Chamber." She said. "Hermione seems to have more common sense than that. If she reminds you of Remus, and I so much." Lily added.

They had just turned a corner, when Harry, and Hermione came walking the same way. Harry had his arm around Hermione's waist, somewhat possesively, and they were talking in quiet voices, laughing.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you two are getting along so well." Severus said loudly, startling the two sixteen year olds. They both looked up in surprise.

"Hello Mum, hello Dad." Harry said, grinning. Hermione had the same look on her face.

"Hello Harry, Hermione." Lily said giving the two a look. "What have you two been up to?" She asked, casually.

"Nothing, just walking around, and talking. Getting caught up with whats been happening with each other since school got out." Hermione answered, Harry nodded.

"Okay, well Harry, and Hermione, I would like to talk to you both if you don't mind." Lily said, motioning for the two to follow them. They nodded.
