A/N: WOA! I didn't expect this many reviews, I'm glad that everybody likes
the idea of Harry being a baby. I was just so inspired by Lina's story
that I couldn't resist putting that in there, it's just been begging to get
out. Minerva I'm not going to have Severus brew an antidote because that
potion was a screw up and wasn't made correctly so the antidote might
interact badly with Harry's body and really hurt him. So I'm just going to
have the potion run its course and have Harry grow up as the potion wears
off. but anyway peoples I'm going to try and hurry up to get the next
couple of chapters up in the next few days, but no promises because my
parents are making a trip down to school tomorrow and I'll be busy
entertaining them all day! So please don't kill me and hopefully the new
chapter will be up by monday or tuesday latest! but here's the chapter so
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 8- More aftermath
Lunch went off without a problem and Severus simply kept Harry in his classroom while he taught his afternoon classes, which thankfully went by uneventfully except for having the Weasley Twins in his last class of the day with the Gryffindor and Slytherin 7th Years. But thankfully the twins didn't try to pull anything so Severus was in a halfway decent mood by his standards.
Severus walked into the Great Hall for dinner and saw that thankfully a high chair had been placed next to his usual spot so he could keep Harry with him while he ate. He carefully put Harry into his high chair and sat down in his own chair. He noticed thankfully that there was a bowl of orange looking mush in a bowl in Harry's tray and the boy contented himself with trying to feed himself.
After about 10 minutes Severus was done eating and looked over to his son and saw that Harry succeeding in getting the 'food' everywhere but in his stomach. He then reached over and took the spoon from his son's hand and set it back in the bowl. He then conjured a napkin and cleaned the messy child and all the surfaces around him off and then fed the boy. After another ten minutes roughly Harry had eaten all of the food and Severus decided that it was best to try and get the boy cleaned up and into bed.
Only when he had picked up his son and started to walk out of the Great Hall did he notice that 75% of the eyes in the Great Hall were fixed on himself and Harry. He sent one of his fiercest scowls out and the students almost immediately looked away and busied themselves with chatting and eating again.
After Severus had left Dumbledore stood up and said
"If I may have your attention please. As you all just saw Harry Potter has been turned into a baby due to an accident in potions class. He will be taken care of by Professor Snape and any student that wants to help with babysitting either during, between or after classes should ask Professor Snape or myself. Thank you."
The headmaster then sat down and Ron and Hermione turned to look at eachother and Hermione said
"Why don't we ask to watch over Harry tomorrow afternoon since we have it off, this way we can see and spend some time with him and give Professor Snape a break."
"That sounds like a great idea 'Mione, why don't we go ask Professor Dumbledore where Snape's rooms are and we can ask him." Ron replied
Hermione nodded and they made their way up to the head table and waited politely for their Headmaster to notice them. They didn't have to wait long though.
"Aaaah, Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley, what can I do for you two?"
"Well Sir, we wanted to know where Professor Snape's rooms were, we wanted to ask him ourselves if we could watch Harry tomorrow, we have the afternoon off." Hermione promptly and efficiently responded.
Professor Dumbledore smiled and said
"But of course, naturally you would want to. Professor Snape's rooms are down in the Dungeons, five doors down from the potions classroom on the left hand side."
"Thank you sir, good night." Hermione responded
"Good night."
With that the two Gryffindor Prefects swiftly left the hall and went to find their Potions Master's private rooms.
***************************************************
During Ron and Hermione's talk with Dumbledore, Severus had returned to the tranquility of his rooms and had quickly and efficiently stripped Harry and was bathing him.
As Harry was doing a very good job of soaking Severus with a bath toy he heard a knock on his door. Getting up and plucking his son from the tub and wrapping the, now shivering boy, in a towel and not bothering to change from his wet clothing he went and opened the door and was a bit surprised to see Weasley and Granger standing at the entrance.
Ron and Hermione took a minute step back at the sight of their 'greasy git' of a Potions Master all soaking wet with a very small Harry wrapped up in a towel and being supported on his father's hip.
"Are you two just standing there gawking at me for no reason or is there one as to why you are down here?" Severus said bitingly, effectively snapping the two prefects out of their reverie and earning a whimper from Harry at the harshness of his voice.
Hermione spoke first
"Well Professor Dumbledore told us where we could find you and we wanted to let you know that Ron and I can take Harry sometimes if you need a break. We have tomorrow after lunch off if you want us to babysit while you teach."
Snape stood there for a moment and though, wondering if his ison/i had told his friends yet about their recent discovery.
"Has Harry spoken to either of you about our 'relationship' ?"
Upon receiving two nods he continued
"All right, so at least I don't have to tell you two. But seeing as you are Harry's closest friends I can't imagine him wanting to be with anybody else except you two. I do appreciate the offer and I will take you up on it. You two may come down here after your last class before lunch and collect him and he can spend lunch and the afternoon and dinner with you two. Then after dinner you will bring him up to the head table back to me. Understood?"
Ron and Hermione both furiously nodded their heads and Hermione said
"All right Professor, we'll see you tomrrow then to pick up Harry. Have a good night sir."
"Good night, now get back up to your Tower."
The two nodded and quickly left. Severus closed the door and readjusted Harry's weight further up his side and looked down at him as Harry looked up and said
"Well, looks like you're going to spend tomorrow afternoon with Weasley and Granger."
The only thing Harry had to say about that was to squeal with delight, that caused Severus to wince at the pitch, and clap his hands together.
Severus smiled at his son's antics and returned to the bathroom to finish the boy's bath and quickly diapered and put the infant into a green sleeper with little twinkling stars patterned on it and put Harry into the crib in the corner of his room.
Just as he was about to leave the room after changing into his own pajamas he heard a little whimper and walked back over to the crib and looked down and said "What?" as if he was expecting an answer. "Do you want a story?"
Harry nodded a little and Severus sighed and picked up his son and brought him over to his bed, stopping at the little bookshelf and picked up a nighttime book.
He settled himself down on his bed and sat Harry in his lap and held the book in front of the little boy so that he could see the pictures but Severus was also able to read. He started to read in his low and silky voice and not halfway through the story Severus looked down to see Harry down for the count.
He cracked a smile and carefully started to sit up. But Harry stirred slightly and Severus knew that if he moved off of the bed that he would wake up the boy so he resigned to sliding down in his own bed, exhausted from the day's events and fell asleep with his son settled on his stomach with his own arm draped around the little boy for protection.
A/N: I know that that had to be the cheesiest chapter I've ever written!!!!!! I couldn't help it though!!!!!!! I thought Snape was a little ooc with Ron and Hermioen but I couldn't figure out any other way to write that part with them at the door to Snape's rooms. I just couldn't think of another way to write it! But I hope that chapter didn't suck too bad, now push that little button in the left hand corner and leave a review and tell me if that chapter totally sucked and I should re-write it or if I should just leave it as it is and get my butt moving on chapter 9!
