Severiun sat on the floor in his father's rooms at Hogwarts. They'd moved in two and a half months ago. Severiun was with the Malfoys enough times that Severus had two album's of photos already of mostly Severiun and Draco. It was still clear that Draco didn't like Severiun. It was amusing really. Draco would yell and scream at Severiun while Severiun just sat or stood and watched him. Severiun always seemed to watch what was going on now, almost more than he used too. Severiun's words were pronounced better now and he knew more words, but he rarely spoke, even around Severus.
The medi-witch at Hogwarts had checked Severiun over and said nothing was wrong with him as far as she could tell. Professor Dumbledore had said Severiun was just taking everything in and he mentioned there'd be a new medi-witch next year. The current medi-witch had also suggested that Severiun could be mute. Severus quickly shut that down and told her to bugger off and never come near Severiun or himself again. She didn't eat dinner in the Great Hall for several days.
Currently Severiun was hissing to his snake. The snake was magical and had formed a bond with Severiun. The snake itself was a beautiful pure white, but only about ten inches long. Severiun loved the snake and wanted to bring her everywhere. Thankfully Dumbledore had forbidden snakes to be allowed around with students or teachers, he extended the rule to Severiun too. Draco had seen Severiun's snake once, Severiun had found it funny when Draco freaked out. Draco was in tears by the time Severiun stopped laughing. Since then, Draco had refused to come over and had even refused to talk to or about Severiun for three days. Finally Severiun apologized and let Draco know that the snake, whose name was Sailin, wouldn't harm Draco. Draco was slowly working his way to come around and see the snake again.
"Severiun." Severus said. Severiun looked up and stared at the cloak his father held. "There's a quidditich game today, we're going to watch it." Severiun shrugged. "What's wrong?" Severus asked in an annoyed tone. Severiun glared at him as if his father would get the picture and understand why he was upset. "Severiun." Severus snapped.
"What!" Severiun snapped back in the perfect annoyed Snape tone.
"What's with the attitude?" Severus asked.
"Draco yelled at me." he muttered, looking down at Sailin and pouting. Severus stared at Severiun.
"Sev, Draco always yells at you." Severus was trying not to snicker. "What's different about this time?"
"He told me I was a bad person because I only have my Papa." Severus reached down and picked up his son.
"Baby-boy, You're not a bad person because your Daddy was killed, nor are you bad because your Aunt Lily was killed. It makes you special because you have had three parents you have loved you more than anything in the world. Alright? Don't be upset, next time tell Draco to sod off." Severus looked into Severiun's eyes. "Now, are you ready to watch some quidditich?" Severiun hugged his Papa.
"Is Slytherin playing?" He asked into Severus' shoulder.
"Against Gryffindor." Severus responded.
"Okay." Severiun allowed his father to pull the warmer cloak on him and off they went. Half way there they met Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore.
"Good morning Severus, Severiun! Lovely day today." Dumbledore greeted. Severiun just laid his head on Severus' shoulder and stared at the headmaster.
"Only you would think so, Headmaster." Severus snapped. McGonagall threw a glare at Severus.
"Chipper as always I see Severus. Now Severiun, which team are you cheering for?" Dumbledore asked Severiun. Severiun buried his face in his fathers' shoulder. Severus rolled his eyes and Dumbledore winked. "Still shy, Severiun? Ah well, I'm leaning towards Gryffindor myself, but each house has fantastic teams this year! It will be an excellent game." Dumbledore nodded.
"Are you cheering for the Slytherin team, Severus?" Minerva asked.
"Yes." Severus said.
"That's good. Say, You wouldn't want to be the Slytherin Head of House would you?" Dumbledore asked. Severus stared at him.
"What?"
"Head of House for Slytherin. Mafiosi is retiring this year as Head of Slytherin." Severus nodded to Dumbledore's words. Severus let Minerva climb the stairs to the teachers box before him.
The game started with a bang and Slytherin scored the first goal. The commentator was a Hufflepuff who had loyalties to neither side. Severus was glad, he remembered when he played, the Gryffindor commentator was always insulting his team. Severiun quietly asked his father if he could stand in the corner of the box to watch. Severus agreed as long as he didn't lean over the side, not that he could, his head barely was high enough so his eyes could see over the side. Severus watched Severiun as well as watching the game.
Twenty minutes later Gryffindor was losing by forty points, their seeker, Bill Weasly, was searching for the snitch desperately. He was high above the quidditich field almost directly above the teachers box in which Severus, Severiun, Minerva, and Dumbledore were sitting in. Suddenly Bill rose higher to avoid a bludger that curved down and straight towards Severiun. Severiun screamed as the bludger slammed right by his feet in the corner he was at. The wood splintered and broke apart. Severiun fell with the wood as the bludger zoomed away.
"Severiun!" Severus screamed, pulling out his wand to shout a floating spell. The spell he and all the teacher's there cast all missed Severiun, but did hit splinters of wood around them.
A red blur went flying past the teacher's box. As Severiun kept falling, Severus got increasingly pale. The scream Severiun was letting out would haunt Severus the rest of his life.
