Chapter Six-Telling a Hard Truth
Severus was walking down the hall when he ran into his best friend, and girlfriend, Leanne Dumbledore. She smiled at him, running a hand through her thick beautiful blond hair.
"I was just coming to see you, I heard you were going to be telling Emily tonight, if you don't mind, I'd really like to be there," Severus smiled gently and touched her cheek.
"I would love it if you were there, might make things that much easier," Smiling the two headed down the hall. When they entered the room, Severus decided to try and act like himself would have before this year.
"Mr. Potter, back for detention, and on time for once. If you ever pull a stunt like that in my class again." He stopped smiling.
"You wanted a reason, I gave you a reason," Harry responded smiling.
"Yes you did, and I'm proud of you. Emily, we need to talk." Severus whispered. Harry was beaming as he looked at Leanne, she smiled at him and winked.
"Why? Did I do something wrong?" She asked in a small frightened voice.
"No, oh no honey, however there is something you need to be told. Four teen years ago I was married to this beautiful and wonderful woman, she was a sweet woman, she had beautiful auburn gold hair. Her name was Lily. We had been friends for as long as either one of could remember. We were married for about a year, before Lily discovered she was pregnant, however, at the time I had just begun my job as a spy and Dumbledore, as well as myself didn't feel very confident about me fathering at the time, incase Voldemort were to find me out and go after my family. Lily wanted to tell her friends, at least, but I didn't agree, there were people I didn't find very trustworthy. So we made a deal, we could only tell four people, two of the people I trusted the most in the world and two of the people she trusted the most in the world. When it was time for the twins to come, there were our four closest friends there. We had decided that one child would go to my closest friend, and the other would go to Lily's and since her's were both men she would pose as the mother and wife to one of her friends. However, when our twin children were born it was a moment when we realized we had to separate them immediately, so the first child went to my best and closest friend Leanne Dumbledore, and the second child went to Lily and her closest friend James Potter. My wife, Lily, named her son, Harold Jamieson Potter, and that meant I was to name my daughter, it was probably the hardest thing I ever had to really do, holding this little tiny being in my arms, as she stared into my soul, reading me like a book. I named her after my two favorite people, Lily's middle name was Emily, and after Leanne Dumbledore. Emily Leanne Bryant," he stopped, allowing everything to sink in.
Her big green eyes gazed into his dark ones, suddenly her hand covered her mouth as she came to realization of what Severus was telling her. She looked over at Leanne and looked at her, hesitation. All of her life Emily had been praying to speak to her real father, to meet her twin brother. Part of her simply wanted to wrap her arms around him, while another part wanted to simply sit down and cry.
Severus met her eyes again, and he could remember holding her for that single moment all those years ago. He finally had the chance to be a father again, and he wasn't going to screw it up.
"I." she stopped, not sure what to say. Getting up she walked towards the Potion's Master, and gently reached out touching his cheek. He smiled softly, closing his eyes. She then threw her arms around his neck and began to sob into his shoulder. Harry had been watching quietly, trying to make out every feeling on his father's face. He walked towards the father and daughter, within seconds he was also embracing them. Severus held them close and looked up at Leanne, who was smiling widely. He could feel tears welling in his own eyes. Leanne smiled and hurriedly joined them, hugging all three. If she had her way, this was going to be a complete family, with a mother as well.
~~~~~~~
Harry sighed, lying in his bed, hands behind his head as he thought about what had been going on soon, and realized he finally felt complete, even if it was 'the greasy git' it was still a father, and Harry had realized in about four weeks that Snape did care for him, and for Emily. Harry smiled, obviously he cared for Leanne as well, from the way he had been looking at her during certain times when they were together.
"What are you smiling about?" Ron asked from the next bed over.
"Nothin', just really feeling good," Harry explained, then turned on his side and burrowed deeper into the bed.
"G'night Harry," Ron called.
"Night Ron," Harry said, as he closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~
Lily sighed, finally she knew who her family was, and the best part was they wanted her. She silently hoped whatever it was between Severus and Leanne was worked out, because Lily wanted a father as well as a mother, and she really wanted a brother.
"'Mione," she called gently.
"Yeah?" A tired, but awake voice said from the bed to Emily's left called.
"What's it like, having a dad?"
"I dunno, kinda nice. Having someone to kiss you at night, hold you when ya cry, sing when your down, and smile when your happy."
"Your dad, he does all of that?"
"Yeah, he does. My dad is great, I miss him and mum," Hermione said
"Night Hermione," Emily said, turning onto her stomach and closing her eyes.
"Night Emmie," Hermione called back and sighed.
~~~~~~~
"She was surprised," Leanne said, as she climbed into the bed. He smiled and chuckled.
"I would be too, however, you and I are not here to discuss my children," Severus said as he climbed in next to her. She smiled.
"We shouldn't be doing this you know," she said. He smiled again, his lips meeting hers, kissing her deeply and passionately.
"You can Apparate in the morning," he whispered, as he separated for no more than a fleeting moment. She smiled.
"What if I don't want to," she said. He smiled as she leaned over towards him and began to kiss him.
"People will wonder."
"Let them, this is our night, let's make the best of it," she whispered. Continuing to kiss him.
