Two days later Harry suggested they invite the Evanstons to dinner, as a welcome to the neighborhood dinner
Ginny walked over to their house first with Severus in her arms and Hissy in Sev's arms, Harry was busy cooking the dinner just in case
" Mummy, where we going?" Severus asked
" We're going to ask our neighbors if they want to have dinner with us tonight, and they have a little girl who's the same age as you... her name is Lily" Ginny said
" Yiyi" Severus said
" Lily" Ginny said slowly, say your L
" Liyi" Severus said
" Lily" Ginny said slowly again
" Lily" Severus said slowly
Ginny smiled, " Very good Sev, now say Lily again"
" Lily" Severus said again slowly with a smile on his face, " Lily... Lily... Lily"
" Very good" Ginny said and she kissed Sev's head, " We're going to have to tell Daddy your new word
Severus smiled and clapped his little hands
Ginny arrived at the Evanston's door and knocked and waited for a minute
A woman with red hair and green eyes opened it up, " Yes, may I help you?"
" Hi, I'm Ginny, you must be Linda Evanston" Ginny said extending her hand
Linda smiled and shook it, " Yes, and this must be Severus?"
" I Sevus" Severus said with a smile, " I learned new word... Lily"
Linda smiled, " Very good Severus, that's my daughter's name... would you like to meet her?"
Severus nodded shyly
" Well come in, come in" Linda said and Ginny and Severus went inside
" Henry is outside mowing the lawn" Linda said
Ginny nodded, she could hear the lawn mower running
Linda looked down at Severus, " Who's that?" Linda asked indicating Hissy
" Hissy, my nake" Severus said
" Severus say Snake" Ginny said
" Nake" Severus said again
" Ssssnake" Ginny said
" Ssssnake" Severus copied cheekily
Ginny lifted up an eyebrow, " Now say it again with no cheek"
" S...n...a...ke" Severus said slowly... " Sn...a...ke... snake"
Ginny smiled then turned her attention to Linda, " We're teaching him new words every day and we test him the next day on the words he learns
Linda smiled, " That is a good technique, well Lily's upstairs in her room playing with her building blocks, Severus do you like building blocks?" Linda asked
Severus nodded then he wiggled down from his mummy's arms
" I walk" Severus said and he grabbed hold of Ginny's finger and walked towards Lily's room with Linda in the lead
" Lily likes to walk too, she walks as much as she possibly can" Linda said with a smile
Linda opened her daughters door
" Lily, you have some visiters" Linda said walking over to her daughter and picking her up
Now Severus was shy and he indicated for his mummy to pick him up
" Oh now you're being shy?" Ginny asked
" Up mummy up" Severus said lifting his arms up
Ginny picked up her son
" Lily this is Severus and his mummy Ginny" Linda said to her daughter
" Sevus" Lily said
" I Sevus... this Hissy" Severus said indicating the snake
" Hi" Lily said
" Hi" Severus said
" Why don't you two play while we mummys talk?" Linda suggested, " Lily you can show Severus Leo"
Lily's eyes lit up and nodded and wiggled down, Severus did the same
" Come Sevus, I show you Leo" Lily said and they toddled over to Lily's bed where a lion was at and she picked it up
" Leo is Lily's favorite stuffed animal, she takes it everywhere" Linda explained
" Same with Severus and his Hissy" Ginny said with a smile
" I think they're going to be very good friends, what do you think?" Linda asked
" I think they will" Ginny said thinking about what Harry said about Snape and Lily being friends growing up
