Suspect: Hello again! I'm back and I've brought gifts for all! I hope most
of you are happy with what I've given you, but hey! Not everyone gets what
they what! General thank you to the reviewers... I just wrote down the
entire plotline for the school year and... Holy shit it was six single
pages long... I think that's long for a *simple* plotline!
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise! I do own Lilith and Athena though. Want to use them, or mention them, please, go right ahead! Sorry, got to add that Athena is not my name, I saw her in another story. It the name is yours, thanks for giving me the idea!
Warning: PG just for a little language and violence maybe in the later chapters a little 14A sex... I don't know. Not much violence, considering that two of the main characters are babies! There is some angst in here as well, for all those interested... Lots of suspense!
Pairings: Harry and someone. I don't know, some of you may like it, some of you may not... And no... It's not going to be a Harry/Sev, but it is going to be slash!
Ron/Hermione and Severus/Remus on the side!
Anyway, Thanks to my reviewers... Warning, this is a **work in progress**... most it is written in longhand, but I've got a plot line until the end.
TheKing001: I'm sorry King, but... It's gonna be slash!
Nicki: Thank you, I like having people say that the chappies are good!
Lady FoxFire: Oh my god! I love your stories! I love 'A Broken Child', I really hope you finish it... I can't wait for the next part! I can't believe you like this one! Thank you so much for reviewing! Slash all the way!
Some Guy: Sorry kid, slashiness is taking over. If you have a problem then I'm going to either ask you to leave or to not flame me. If you do flame me I will set the fires of hell onto your ass. Then thank your for your opinion and never notice you again!
illustrious sorrow: What the hell do you mean, 'Finally updated'? At least I didn't take three months to get the next fricking part out! And read the damn warning and pairing for god's sake, I'm getting tired of all the 'no slash' whines!
Diana Lucille Snape: Lots of questions... Mmm... Well, to start with, a thank you for your review and wonderful comments! Sev *is* going to become a father type figure, more of a friend who can hear anything out, like a favourite Uncle. Children don't start speaking until they're about seven to eight months old. They start to string words together at eighteen months or so, so you have a little while for that to happen... Just think of Harry's reaction when they day 'Daddy'! Yes. Moony and Paddy come on scene. Not yet, your going to have to wait - again - for that. Draco's coming! School hasn't started yet! He'll be there! So many questions... Just read and review and you're sure to find out! Thank you again!
Galen: You need a life. I saw you in the library! You told me that your fic was bigger! I know that! For gods sakes... Anyway, I hopefully manage to make every chapter around a 1000 words, so there! *sticks tongue out*
This one's only Seven hundred and some... Oh well!

For the last two weeks of vacation at Hogwarts Harry found time to do every - take care of Lilith and Athena, go visit Hagrid, finish his homework and talk a little with Severus. The talks with the ex-hated potions professor had been in Severus' quarters usually, with the occasion of a walk around the grounds. By the time that a week had gone by Harry and Severus had formed a tenuous friendship that was well balanced, Severus heard things that no one else did and Harry got to know a bit about the professor. They had both silently agreed not to share their friendship with anyone else, especially when school started again.
When Harry wasn't doing any of that he was usually up in the library with a charms book, or a transfigurations book that he started to study to find out how to make things for children that weren't dangerous. He found that he had a quite a bit of work yet to do on baby things, he really had no toys for the kids. They didn't seem to mind though, after all, they had Hedwig.
Harry also worried about what would happen when school did start up again. Could he hide the kids from the Slytherin's in the school? Could he manage to take care of them the way they needed in their first few months? He really didn't know, so after a few days of fretting he decided to just get there when he got there.
MacGonagall took him be surprise the day she caught up to him and ask him if he remembered that the students would be coming the next day.
"Oh! I totally forgot! I... I have to get things..." MacGonagall watched in a silent confusion as he dashed away, forgetting about her. She shrugged then and went back on her way. Kids these days!
Harry hurried up to the tower and quickly started to throw most of his stuff into his trunk. He had found a room two days ago on the third floor - which was still restricted - that would be perfect for him to stay in with the children. He already asked if he could use it and Dumbledore had agreed. As soon as he was done he dragged the trunk up the to kids room and put their stuff away as well. He had to get them moved before the other students moved in!
Suddenly he stopped and stood up straight.
"Calm down Harry, you have the rest of the day!" Harry sighed at himself and slumped back into a chair; "You have all day..." he repeated and looked over to Lilith and Athena. They were watching him with a detached humour, "Oh shut up you two, it _is_ your life we're talking about!" The children gurgled and giggled at him, not understanding his words but his tone. He sighed again and shook his head. They were going to be the death of him.
Harry sighed and stood once again, gathering the baby clothing he had dropped in his sudden revelation. When he was done he shrunk the trunk with one of Severus' potions, placed it in one of his pockets and wrapped the girls up in his invisibility cloak.
"'Ight now, to your new room we go!" Harry hefted the children up and was on his way. He was thanking Merlin by the time that he reached the new room. He was sure that he would have been accosted by at least one of the teachers, but hadn't seen a single respected personage.
Setting the kids down on the queen sized bed he pulled his trunk out and set everything up. Tedious work that had to be done. Boring as hell...
"So, new room, new bed, no one else in the room when I'm sleeping... I'm going to get lonely..." Harry sat down next to the kids. Maybe he should tell Severus of them... No, that wouldn't work... He was still Snape after all and he would feel obligated to tell Dumbledore about them and then Dumbledore would fell obligated to tell Fudge about them and then Fudge would come and take them away...
"Quite thinking like that Harry," He berated himself. Some things never change though, and that would be how Severus was at the core of his being, and that was a conniving bastard who would do all he could to get Harry expelled.
But he was a friend now...
He was a honourable man with a debt to Dumbledore...
He was a spy, he could keep secrets...
Damn it, Harry didn't know _what_ Severus would do anymore.
By the time bed-time came Harry was so flustered about his choices that he fell into the bed and was unconscious in a second or less.
