Chapter Fourteen

Severus walked into the house, Tristen fast asleep in his arms. He quietly went upstairs and gently changed the little baby into a sleeper suit, and placed him into the Moses Basket. He then left the nursery and went into the bedroom, expecting to see Harry still in bed, but he wasn't there.

He went downstairs and into the living room. He smiled as he stood in the doorway, Harry was lying on the soft white rug in front of the fire. "I'm back, Harry. Tristen is asleep. I got Hermione and Ron to baby-sit tomorrow, so we can do something together, just the two of us," he said as he walked over and sat down on the rug behind the brunet.

"Does she know what is wrong with me? Why I'm acting like this?" Harry asked as he continued to watch the flames.

Severus smiled. "Can't hide anything from you. She thinks it is Post Partum Depression. There are a number of causes and symptoms. She did give me some advice to try and help you for now, but she said that you need to seek professional help."

"Then I want to do that as soon as I can. I hurt him yesterday, Severus, hurt Tristen. I was so stupid and I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't even stop and think properly," he said. Severus had placed a hand on Harry's back and could now feel slight tremors running through the thin body.

"Tristen is fine, I'll talk to St Mungo's in a little while and get you an appointment, but for now we are going to talk and then we will work something out," Severus said quietly as he lay down on the rug behind Harry and pulled the other close.

"Okay," Harry murmured as he turned into Severus' strong arms and cuddled closer.

Severus tightened his arms for a moment and then spoke quietly, "Well, first, how long have you felt like this?"

"About a week after the Naming Ceremony, but it wasn't so bad as you were still home at that point, It got worse, it felt like everything was pressing down on me. I didn't want to disappoint you. I guess I did anyway," Harry mumbled into Severus' chest.

"Harry, you haven't disappointed me, you never could. I am worried about you, you are ill, that is all. Something that needs to be taken care of, not shoved into the corner."

"Thank you, Severus, thank you. I will do my best to get better, I don't want to feel like this all the time. It's horrible."

"Let get up and watch a film while Tristen is sleeping. We still have things to talk about, mostly what we should be doing to help you," Severus said as he sat up, pulling Harry with him.

"Okay," Harry replied passively.

The two stood up, and Severus took him over to the couch, turned on the Muggle TV and DVD player, and placed in one of the Carry On films that Harry was addicted to. He grabbed the throw and placed it over Harry while Carry On Up The Khyber started up. Severus left Harry alone as he went into the study and Fire Called St Mungo's.

"St Mungo's Appointments," said a cheerful witch.

"My name is Severus Snape-Potter and I would like to make an appointment with a Mind Healer for my husband," Severus answered.

"Right, can I have his name and any information that you have on his current state?" she questioned.

"Harry Potter-Snape, Post Partum Depression."

"Right, hang on one moment," she spoke as she disappeared from the fire for a moment and then she was back. "We have an available appointment on Friday at 3:30pm, with M Healer Kayne Prophets. Is that alright with you, sir?"

"Yes, that is fine, thank you."

"You're welcome sir, good bye." She disappeared from the flames and then they went out as the call was disconnected.

Severus stood up straight and went back into the living room. He went back to the couch, lifted up the large throw and settled down next to Harry underneath it. They watched the film in quiet companionship. When it ended, Tristen wanted to be fed and changed. While Severus was taking care of the fussy little baby, he talked to Harry about the appointment and what Hermione had suggested.

"I'll be home from now on, I'm going to take on a few assistants. Draco is one of them, Hermione is contacting him, and he has recently become a Potions master, so he would be a great help as well. He could look after the shop and brew nearly all of the potions that need to be done," Severus told him as he burped Tristen.

"I didn't know that Draco was doing that. Last I heard, he was trying to get Molly's blessing on courting Ginny." Harry smiled.

"Well he got it last week, he is going to be formally courting Ginny starting next month," Severus said. "Hermione told me while we were having lunch."

"That's good. I know Ginny likes him, but I bet Ron was a little put out. He still doesn't get alone with Draco, they still snipe at each other," Harry said, letting out a little chuckle.

The two carried on talking as they went back into the living room with Tristen.
