The next two weeks were very long for Severus, he only got to see Lily when they were at daycare, but when he got home he had to go to his room and play by himself nicely, he really didn't like it, there are only so many puzzles and potions a little kid could do before he gets very bored
At night time Severus would cry himself to sleep because he always thought nobody loved him any more because of the twins, his mummy and daddy never spent any time with him because of the twins, he kept thinking it was because he wasn't really their child and the twins were... Daddy told him he was adopted when he was three and what adopted meant
" Nobody loves me any more because now they have James and Rose" Severus thought to himself with tears coming down
Severus was even subdued after his punishment was over, he was quiet during meal times which is like the only time that's normal for the family, he was quiet at daycare and wouldn't even play with Lily anymore, he would just play with Hissy
" Severus, come on lets play together" Lily urged
" I don't feel like playing right now" Severus said sadly
Lily sat down next to Severus on the floor, " Sev what's wrong?"
" You were right what you said what would happen with the twins... Daddy and Mummy ignore me... I think they stopped loving me" Severus said quietly
Lily gasped, " Severus you don't mean that, your mummy and daddy love you very much"
" No they don't... I'm not even related to them... I was adopted" Severus said
" What's that?" Lily asked
" It's where you were born to different parents... but my different parents died... my other daddy was a drinker and he would get mean and my other mummy died because she was sick... My other daddy's name was Tobias and that's where my middle name comes from... daddy wouldn't tell me what my last name used to be... he said it wasn't important because now I'm a Potter" Severus explained
Lily was quiet for a minute
" Sev, just because you used to have a different mummy and daddy doesn't mean that your mummy and daddy don't love you the same as James and Rose" Lily explained
" Yes it does" Severus said, " Mummy and daddy used to tuck me in at night by reading me a book or two... but now I tuck myself in and they just come in to give me a goodnight kiss with no story but they read stories to the twins all the time and sing to them too, they used to wake me up gently by rubbing and patting me on the back, now I have an annoying alarm clock but they wake the twins up by rubbing and patting them on the back, Daddy used to cook breakfast every morning... now all we have is cereal, toast or oatmeal"
" Well did you tell your mummy and daddy that you feel bad?" Lily asked
" No, they're just going to ignore me again... I wish I was like you Lily, you are an only child and they're your real parents who love you no matter what" Severus said
" Severus your mummy and daddy love you too no matter what" Lily said
Severus shook his head no
" You want me to talk to your mummy and daddy?" Lily asked
" No, then they'll really hate me and probably be mad with me and spank and ground me again for bothering them" Severus said and this time he had tears in his eyes
Lily didn't know what to say at this point, she just leaned over to Severus and hugged him and let him cry in her shoulder
The sitter came over and asked what was wrong
" Nothings wrong" Severus said wiping the tears from his eyes but his eyes still looked sad
" Don't lie to me Severus, you know what I feel about lying" The sitter warned
Severus cringed and he bowed his head
The sitter picked Severus up
" Now what's wrong?" The sitter asked
" Nothing, I'm fine... just... can you please put me down? I wanna play with Lily"
The sitter hesitated but then put Severus down and made sure he started playing with Lily and then walked away, she figured Severus will come to her eventually
Severus and Lily played ball until nap time
A few more weeks passed and Severus still felt ignored at home, but he made sure he didn't show that anything was wrong at daycare, he also made sure Lily didn't suspect anything and he decided to have a fun time at daycare because that's the only fun he gets anymore
One night Severus was watching a movie with Hissy in his arms and he fell asleep and dropped Hissy on the floor, Harry put Severus to bed not knowing that Hissy was on the floor
The next day Severus was frantically looking for his Hissy but he couldn't find it, he ran down the stairs but Ginny yelled from the living room at him to stop running, she gets after him all the time and gets after Harry all the time
" Sorry mummy" Severus said and he walked quickly down the stairs and started searching in the kitchen for Hissy but Hissy wasn't in there either
" Morning Sev, you looking for something?" Harry asked reading the News paper
" Hissy" Severus said not looking at his daddy
" When was the last time you had him?" Harry asked
" Last night watching Lion King" Severus said
" Well, go look in the living room" Harry suggested
Severus nodded and walked to the living room and the first thing he saw to his horror was James sucking on Hissy's tail gurgling happily
" JAMES NO" Severus yelled
Ginny looked up from changing Rose and saw Severus hurrying towards James with a look of anger on his face
" Severus Tobias Potter" Ginny started
Severus ignored his mummy and took Hissy away from James and James started to cry
" Bad James, Hissy is not a chew toy" Severus scolded
Harry came into the living room
" What's with all the racket?" Harry asked
" Severus give the toy back to your brother" Ginny commanded
" NO" Severus yelled
" Severus" Ginny said warnly
" Hissy's mine, not his, he has enough toys and he doesn't need mine" Severus said with a glare and he smacked James' bottom once which made James cry even louder
" SEVERUS TOBIAS POTTER" Harry yelled and he advanced on his oldest son
Severus saw his daddy coming after him and he took off to get away from him
Harry was faster then Severus and he caught him with ease
" LET ME GO, LET ME GO" Severus started kicking and hitting Harry but it didn't do anything
Harry swatted Severus once and Severus was crying with rage and he found an opportunity and he bit Harry on the hand hard enough where Harry let go for a second but that second was enough for Severus to run to his room and start packing
Harry didn't run after Severus just yet, he was trying to get his temper under control, he turned to James who was still crying and picked him up then turned to his wife, " What happened"
" I guess, I accidentally gave James, Hissy and Severus threw a tantrum" Ginny said
" He was looking for Hissy in the kitchen" Harry said
" Harry what is wrong with him?" Ginny asked, " He's been moody ever since the twins were born, I even got a call from the daycare saying that Severus was moody"
Harry sighed and ran a hand through his hair, " I don't know, I'll go talk to him... but I'll give him some time to cool down first"
Ginny nodded
