The next day was Halloween and all the kids were excited
" We're going to stay up late and eat candy, watch scary movies, go trick or treating..." Severus said excitedly to the twins
Harry rolled his eyes, Severus didn't know that he was going to go to bed at 9:30, just an hour later then usual
That night the kids waited very impatiently for nightfall, they all protested when they had to take naps
" Once you go to sleep, the time will go faster" Ginny said
That got the kids to go to sleep fast
" Dad, what if the bad men come again? They come almost every year" Severus said a little scared now, he loved Halloween but every Halloween the bad men try to steal him
" You'll be fine, we have Uncle Ron, Uncle Draco, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Fred, Uncle George, Mummy and me with you, Lily, James and Rose, you know we always take precautions
Severus smiled, " Yes, Daddy you and my aunt and uncles and mummy will protect us, you're the best"
Harry smiled and hugged his son, " You have nothing to worry about scamp"
Severus nodded with a smile and he laid down and hugged his Hissy and closed his eyes
Later that night the kids were very excited and Severus thought Lily was very pretty when she came over
" Wow Lily, you're... very pretty" Severus said
Lily blushed, " Thank you Sev"
Rose ran up to Lily, " Look Lily, I'm a princess too"
Rose twirled around
" Just don't eat any apples" Severus joked
" Why" Rose asked confused
Severus sighed, three year olds were so young
" Because in the movie, Snow White eats a poisoned apple that a bad witch gave her and she dies" Lily explained
Rose looked scared
" But everything turns out ok, she gets kissed by a handsome prince and comes back to life and lives happily ever after" Lily said
Severus rolled his eyes, "Whats with girls and princesses and princes? He thought
The group left five minutes later and all the uncles and aunt were waiting for them
" You guys ready?" Ginny asked
" This is going to be fun" Severus said
" Lets get candy" James said happily
" Candy" Rose cheered
" We might get some ideas for our joke shop" Fred said
" That's a good idea" George said
" Does everything you do have to do with the joke shop?" Ginny asked
" Yes" Fred and George said at the same time
Ginny rolled her eyes then yelled at the seven year olds
" Severus, Lily slow down you might trip... Severus don't pretend to bite her" Ginny scolded
Severus stopped, " Yes Mum"
The group went to every house in Godrics Hallow
" Oh is that it? Is trick or treating over?" Ron asked, " There must be some more houses we can go to"
" We can drive to some more houses" Hermione suggested
Harry and Ginny looked at each other
" I'm sure that's safe" Ginny said a little worried, she didn't drive much
" I have my drivers license and car seats for the kids" Hermione said
" I don't know" Draco said, " I've only been in a car a couple of times"
" I haven't been in a car since school" Ron said
" That flying car you and Harry crashed into the Whomping Willow during second year?" Draco asked
" No, the one that the Ministry let us borrow to go to Diagon Alley when Voldemort was back" Ron said, he just got over shivering whenever somebody said the V word
" You guys it'll be fine" Hermione said, " I'll just apperate over to my house and shrink it and bring it back here and we can drive
Harry nodded, " Ok"
Hermione apperated with a pop and was back two minutes later and un-shrunk the car
" Are you sure we'll all fit in there?" Lily asked
" It's spelled to hold a lot more people then what it looks like" Hermione said
" Everybody in" Harry said who wasn't afraid of riding in a car since he grew up with the Dursleys
Everybody got in and a couple of them were kind of worried
They trick or treated outside Godrics Hallow for a while
" Ok three more houses and then it's time to head home" Ginny said
The kids groaned but obeyed
The last house they went to was a nice looking house and a little old lady answered the door
" Oh my, what nice costumes you have" The lady said
The kids smiled
" Lets see... you have Cinderella, Snow white... ooh a goblin... oh... and a vampire right?" The lady asked
The kids nodded
The lady smiled at them then looked in her candy bucket... "Lets see... I have homemade toffee"
Severus's eyes lit up, he loved toffee
The lady handed a bag of it to Rose, then James, then Lily then Severus
" Thank you" The kids said
" You're welcome" The lady said with a smile and she looked at Severus a little longer
Everybody headed back to the car and started heading back to the Potters
By the time they got back to the Potter's the kids were all asleep... well three of them were... the other was missing
" Severus" Harry gasped
And in Severus's place there was a note
Potter, if you want to see your traitor son ever again, you will come to the sacred place where our lord returned. Don't even bother gathering up your Order of the Phoenix, we set up wards that only you can enter, if by some miracle, somebody comes with you... well the same thing will happen that happened to that Diggory boy, I don't think you want that to happen again... of course you will not be returning, so say your goodbyes soon, if you do not come... well lets just say a mountain lion is kind of hungry for little traitor kids. I will see you tomorrow night at 6:00 from... Snape's Ex best friend... AKA The mountain lion... That's right, I escaped the Aurors three years ago
Everybody looked over at Draco and Draco looked pale
" He... he took Severus" Draco stuttered
" Who?" Harry asked
" My father" Draco said looking serious and scared
" Look, there's something on the back" Hermione said
Harry looked at the back of the note
Ps. tell my traitor son I said hi
That confirmed what Draco said
" His Animagus form is a mountain lion... he's not registered" Draco whispered, " I didn't even think about him attacking Severus three years ago"
