Chapter Twenty-Five

Making Love to Sam

LPOV

It had been twenty-four hours since arriving at Hogwarts, and the question as to Severus' whereabouts had been brought up by two groups of people. The Marauders, mainly Potter and Black who were muttering about trying some new Zonko's product on him, and Sev's Slytherin roommates. I immediately went on the defensive when they approached me, my hand gripping tightly around my wand which rested in my robe pocket.

My eyes instantly narrowed in suspicion.

"Relax Evans," Avery laughed. "We're not going to hex you."

Of course I didn't believe them, rotten, sick, twisted, sadistic future Death Eaters. My eyes moved between Avery and his fellow Slytherin, Paul Mulciber, both of who were holding smug expressions.

"What do you want?"

"We were just curious if you knew why Snape wasn't around." Mulciber asked as he casually picked a piece of dirt from under his fingernail.

"Why would I?"

"He's you friend," Avery spat the words with obvious distaste. "Or has he done something as of recent to change that relationship." A look of pure evil filled his beady eyes, eyes that suddenly filled with lust as they roamed down my body.

"Stop looking at me like that!"

"Just admiring the view, I can see the appeal Severus has for you; you are hot piece of tail aren't you, for a mudblood anyway.

That's when my wand came out of my pocket. "You speak to me like that again and I will permanently hex your lips shut."

They just laughed.

I didn't know if they were really that full of themselves that they thought that they could actually get away with saying such things, or if they simply, as Severus often pointed out, had the brain cells of a flubber worm.

"And fifty points from Slytherin for disrespecting the Head Girl and using that filthy word." I flicked my wand twice in quick succession, before turning on my heels and walking away, the sound of the two Slytherin's gagging on soap bubbles echoing down the stone corridor.

The front window was open and I could hear him inside, he was talking to someone, a woman, and I wondered if it was the same woman he mentioned in his letters. As I stood there, thinking about how I was going to approach everything, my eyes wondered around the small cabin-like house that was nestled neatly in a sparse of young trees from the surrounding Canadian forest. It was quite serene, and a complete opposite from suburban town of Spinners End.

I noticed a four-wheeler parked alongside his trunk in front of a white wooden shed a few yards in the distance. I wondered if my father had taken up the sort. In the terrain he was living in it was entirely possible. I heard my father give a boisterous laugh, which in itself was hard to believe, I don't recall ever having heard the man laugh like that before, with such feeling, such joy. It was strange and hopeful all at the same time.

Perhaps this move, a chance for a clean slate, was just what he needed, what we both needed.

Taking a step closer to the front door, I raised my hand, closed my fingers into a first and was about to knock when…it opened.

"Oh, hello." A woman, rather petite in stature, with shoulder length blond hair and bright blue eyes smiled kindly at me. "Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for my father, Tobias."

She gasped. "Oh course." She said touching her hand to her chest. "I recognize you now, from your picture at least. You're Severus, right."

"I am."

"Well please, come in. Toby, you'll never guess who's here." She called out, heading past the entry and into the small front room.

Wait, did she just call him Toby. Oh that's too funny, definite future blackmail material.

My father gave me a quite surprised look but quickly shook it off and smiled. "Severus, what a surprise."

"I'm sorry to have just dropped by. I should have called." I then motioned to his girlfriend, Susan I believe her name was. "But I have something…important I need to talk to you about."

"Important?"

"Yes, um…it's about Sam, my cousin," I then touched the tip of my nose hoping he would get the point. It took a second but soon his eyes lit in understanding.

"Is he in trouble?"

"Sort of, but…it's private." I quickly glanced at Susan.

"Hmm, I see."

"It's okay, Tobias," Susan said grabbing her jumper from off the recliner. "I should probably be getting back soon anyway to relieve the babysitter."

She gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek, told me it was good to have finally met me, promised to call my dad in the morning and left. It had been her four-wheeler next to my father's truck, it turns out she was seriously into off roading.

"So," Tobias sighed plopping down on the couch. "What's going on?"

Taking a deep breath, I sat beside him. "It would seem that my existence as Severus Snape, at least within Great Britain and even continental Europe has become…dangerous."

"Hmm," He scratched a bit of stubble on his chin, then rubbing his fingers over his eyes and then nose. "So…you're really going to become this Sam bloke, is that what you getting at?"

I nodded. "I won't go into the detail but I don't really have a choice at this point. My very life depends on it."

He was quiet for a long while; a look of deep contemplation swam in his dark eyes.

"If that's what you need to do then I will accept it." He finally spoke. "But don't forget who you are, Severus. You are my son, and as shitty as a father as I had been in the past you are still mine and Eileen's son."

"I'll never forget who I am, father. I will always be you son, and when I do come to visit in the future, which I do plan to do, I will come as Severus."

I may be permanently changing my features into Sam's physical appearance, but I could still use glamour to look like my old self if need be.

"Hey, Evans,"

I rolled my eyes and continued down the corridor on my way to Potions, ignoring Black completely. Did he really think I would even give him the time of day after what he did to Mary, the egotistical mutt? Oh yes, I knew about he and his friends little secret animagus forms. You see, Mary talks in her sleep.

"Evans, wait up."

"Go to hell, Black."

He just laughed before sprinting to catch up to me. "Relax, Evans I just want to ask a question," He ran his hand though his wavy hair, a smug expression ever plastered to his arrogant face.

"Fine, what?" I huffed.

"Have any idea what happened to Snivillus?"

My eyes instantly narrowed, and I even let out a low growl. Wow, I'm becoming primal.

"Don't. Call. Him. That." I snarled through gritted teeth.

My anger didn't seem to faze him in the least. "I was just wondering because I've been hearing some wild rumors, one of which includes him using the Imperious Curse to have his way with you". His tone was so casual you would think he had asked my opinion of the weather. "I just thought maybe that's why he had run off, he was afraid you'd turn him in."

I can't ever remember feeling as angry as I was at that point. My face flushed with anger, my fists were clenched so tight my nails were cutting into my palms.

"Don't you dare say that! Never again. Do you hear me Black? Severus would never do something like that to me," I was yelling at this point, loudly, and attracting attention.

"You sure about that I mean, if he used the unforgivable then-

His words were interrupted as my hand struck across his face with as my strength as my petite frame allow. I knew for a fact I wasn't the first girl to have done that. I had been tempted to pull out my wand but I was so filled with anger I feared whatever hex or curse may have left my lips, so I settled for leaving a very visible mark of my feelings.

"Severus is a good man, and if he ran off it was probably to avoid having to join that sadistic blood-purity obsessed maniac," My words were completely true, though I seriously doubted he believed them, nor would many others. People saw what they wanted to see, that was just the way of things. "I swear to God Black, if you ever so much as hint that he is even capable of such a thing ever again I will make what I did to you to revenge Mary look like a paper cut."

And without even a glance back I tuned on my heels and headed to class.

SPOV

It had been three weeks since the start of the term, and although there were rumors of my disappearance, nobody was actively looking for me, at least nobody that I was aware of. I had warded my home, and placed an unplotable charm around it, so even though Malfoy had been there twice before he would be completely unable to find it again, or would anyone other wizard for that matter. Only Lily, muggles and I could now see number fourteen Divinity Road.

I was currently standing just outside Honeydukes scanning the group of incoming students for the Hogsmead weekend. I hadn't told her I was coming, I wanted to surprise her and hopefully whisk her away for a few hours.

It was the sound of her laugh that caught my attention, tuning to the left I spotted her. She was walking up the path with Alice, they were giggling about something, and as they grew closer I hear the words 'Frank wouldn't look at me in the eye for a week after that.'

The laughing stopped abruptly as my loves eyes move in my direction. She gave a squeal of excitement before sprinting towards me. "Sam," She all but jumped into my arms.

"Hello, love."

"What are you doing here?"

"Surprising you. Can you get away for a few hours?"

Biting her bottom lip, she shook her head. "I'm not really supposed to. Being Head Girl I have to help supervise the Hogsmead trips."

"Oh Merlin Lily, just go," It was Alice who said this, and I couldn't have been more thankful.

"But-

"No buts. I'll cover for you. Go," She then made a shoeing motion with her hands.

"Okay, but if you see Potter-

"I'll come up with something. Now go."

"You don't mind me abandoning you?"

"For the love of Merlin, Lily, I'll be fine. Now go and enjoy for boyfriend."

Lily gave her friends a quick hug before we headed down a small ally next to Honeydukes and apparated away.

"So, have you done it? Are you Sam now, completely?" Lily asked as she lying in my arms, her head rested on my bare chest, as she gently ran her fingers across my stomach.

I had made love to her for the first time as Sam.

"No, not yet, the potion ingredients will be ready in another few days then the potion takes a little over a month to make." It was in fact one of the most complicated potions I had ever come across, the ingredients alone had to be perfect prepared, one mistake and I could end up forever looking like the Elephant Man."

"Hmm," Sighing deeply she pulled herself from me, exiting the bed. "I should be getting back. We have a house meeting at seven and I have to be there."

LPOV

I know that I agreed to the change and it's the best decision for Sev but…still. I'll miss that part of him. It sounds silly, I know, they're the same person right, but making love to him as Sam…it just made everything so…real.

I quickly redressed, said good bye to Sam, and apparated to Hogsmead. I arrived just in time for the meeting to start.

"There you are."

Potter looked annoyed. Good.

"Yes, I'm here." I plopped myself down on the couch next to Mary and Alice were we're looking through copies of Witch Weekly.

"Where were you all day?" He huffed his arms crossed firmly over his chest.

"I already told you James." Alice spoke up, her eyes not moving from her magazine.

"Yes, you said she wanted to study, but I check in the library, and you weren't there, Lily."

"There are other places besides the Library to study, Potter."

Potters eyes narrowed. "It doesn't matter anyway; you were supposed to be helping me monitor Hogsmead. You deserted your post!"

I opened my mouth with full intention to give the pious brat a piece of my mind when…

"Oh please." Mary snorted. "You spent half the day in Zonko's joke shop. You just got angry because McGonagall caught you goofing off."

Potters face flushed as he gave an annoyed glance at his girlfriend but for once kept his fool mouth shut.

The meeting was uneventful, as usual. Heading up to my room for the night Alice insisted I tell her all about my day. Without going into personal details I mentioned that he took me out to lunch and then we spent the rest of the day at his place. That was of course not nearly enough information for their likes. They wanted details.

"Sorry girls, gossip shops closed."

"Come on Lily, we tell you about our love lives," Alice said.

"And do you really think I wanted to hear how Frank spent so much time sucking on your neck he left a trail of hickies so bad your mum thought someone had been strangling you."

They both giggled, Alice the loudest.

"Hum, what do you think Mary, jealous?" Alice asked, her lips drew into a smirk, a sudden look of mischief filled Mary's eyes.

She really had been hanging out with Potter too much.

"Maybe," She quipped. "I know James is a fantastic kisser, perhaps she's ashamed of Sam's lack of skill."

I instantly gave an indignant huff. "Excuse me, but Sam is a phenomenal kisser." And he most certainly was, there had been times when I couldn't even think straight after a good snog.

"Really," Mary's brow rose, "how so?

Sighing I shook my head. They had bated me and I bit. Oh well might as well spill the beans, besides I know that any gossip spoke in our room stays in our room.

"Words cannot describe how delectable his lips are." I stated ginning.

"Is that so?"

"Oh yes, better then the finest of wines."

They giggled scooting to the edge of their beds. "So, Lily, is kissing the only thing he's good at?"

My face reddened at Alice's question and suddenly an image of that afternoon's activities penetrated my mind, and I couldn't help but feel much warmer.

"Oh. My. God." Mary practically flew over to my bed, Alice quickly followed. "Lily Evans, are you no longer the virgin of the dorm?"

"Well, no."

Alice had never been shy about her activities with Frank, and Mary, well she gave it to that mutt Black, I had been the only hold out.

"When?" Alice asked eagerly.

"Over the summer, we sort of got into a huge fight and…made up." That of course was putting the whole situation in rather simplistic terms.

"Make up sex is the best." Alice stated with a laugh. "I remember once I was pissed at Frank for something he had said about me to his mother. Not that it was bad really but, well if you ever met Augusta you'd know what I mean, anyway…

Alice went on for a good half an hour about her exploits with Frank. The girl didn't have a shy bone in her body, I swear. It was nearly midnight before we finally got to sleep, and as I drifted into dreamland I dreamt of Sam and of Sev, a confused montage of lies, friendship and lovers swirling through my unconscious.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Life has been hectic but I do hope you enjoyed the chapter.
