Chapter Two
Serena sat on Severus' lap as Vitalani started breakfast.
"Dad, can I talk to you... privately?" Severus nodded and turned to his two sons.
"Alexander, go do something with your brother elsewhere," Severus said rubbing Serena's back.
"Yes sir."
After they were gone, Severus turned back to Serena.
"Now, what's troubling you?"
"Would you be mad at me if I was a... squib?" Severus looked at her sympathetically.
"No, of course not, you're my daughter. I'll always love you no matter what." Serena smiled and hugged Severus tightly.
"I love you too," she said feeling much better.
"Breakfast is ready!" Vitalani said putting everything on plates.
"Go get your brothers," Severus said patting Serena's back.
"Yes sir," she said standing up. Severus smiled as she ran upstairs.
"Vitalani," Severus said as Serena disappeared up the stairs.
"Yes Severus?" she asked walking over to him. She sat on his lap and gently brushed her lips against his.
"Do you mind if I go to Hogwarts to set up now?" he asked politely.
"No, of course not." Serena and her brothers came running down the steps for breakfast.
Vitalani got off of Severus' lap and finished up the food as Severus started upstairs to shower.
"Where's daddy going?" Nathen asked as he got in the chair.
"He's going to Hogwarts to set up for this year."
"But, I won't see him in a long time," Nathen pouted.
"Oh no," Alexander teased dryly. Vitalani narrowed her eyes at him.
"Alexander, stop," she snapped. Nathen ran upstairs in tears.
"I hope you didn't upset him," Serena snapped at Alexander.
"I'll go talk to him," Vitalani said.
On her way, Vitalani stopped to talk to Severus. She knocked on the door to the bathroom.
"Severus," she called.
"Yes," he called stepping out of the shower.
"Nathen's upset because you're leaving." Severus cast a drying spell on himself, pulled a robe on and walked out of the bathroom.
"I'll go talk to him," he said putting his arms around Vitalani's waist. She put her face in his neck and started kissing it repeatedly.
"Okay, I should get back to breakfast."
"Indeed, and I shall go talk to my beloved son." Vitalani chuckled and left the room as Severus walked to Nathen's room. He knocked on the door lightly.
"Nathen," he called slowly opening the door. He walked inside to sight of Nathen crying in his pillow.
Severus walked over to his son, sat on the bed and rubbed the child's back.
"What's wrong today Nathen, you've been in tears three times today." The small boy sat up and Severus pulled him onto his lap. Nathen broke out into sobs and cried in Severus' chest.
"I-I o-only get to see you i-in the s-summer. I-it's not f-fair." Severus lifted Nathen's chin up so they were looking at each other face to face. He didn't know what to say, so he just hugged Nathen tightly. "Daddy, I just want to be with you."
That comment made Severus' heart sink.
"Perhaps I could figure something out."
"I love you daddy." Severus smiled.

Serena got up from the table and placed her plate in the sink. The was an eagle flying towards the window.
"Mom, Leon's here with the mail!" she said excitedly pointing out the window. The bird flew inside, dropped two letters on the desk and squawked three times, which meant he was asking for Severus.
"He's up stairs," Serena said running up to the letters. "My Hogwarts letter!" Serena held it up in the air.
Vitalani took a letter from underneath Alexander's letter.
"That bloody panther is at Hogwarts," she groaned. Severus had a panther, Georgia, who he sent off to his sister for the summer and lived with during school.
Suddenly, Leon flew down the stairs squawking like mad.
"Leon, what is it?" Vitalani asked rushing up to the bird. It flew upstairs with Serena, Alexander and Vitalani behind it.
When the got to the room, they stopped.
"Oh my gosh... Severus."
