Chapter Eleven-Adventures in Babysitting
Four weeks later it was early July, and Severus looked at
all the bags that were heavily packed for only two people.
Harry sat next to his father wondering why his parents were
leaving them with Demi.
"All right, you've got everyone's floo, Albus will be
over every Saturday and Wednesday. The milk is in the
fridge, am I forgetting anything?" Lea asked as she walked
out with Demi in her arms. Severus rolled his eyes. His wife
was finished healing and doing beautifully, ready and
willing to go away with him to go to Ireland for a short two-week honeymoon.
"Lea, if you forgot it you can tell them, it's not like
we have no contact. Now you two behave and please don't
give your sister anything but the milk she is supposed to
drink," Severus said. Harry and Emily smiled as Lea handed
Demi to Harry.
"Don't worry we'll be fine. See you guys in two
weeks," Harry said.
"We'll be home in plenty of time for the party, so
don't get worried, bye guys," Lea said kissing all three
of her children she stepped into the floo. Severus rolled
his eyes and kissed his girls, he smiled at Harry.
"Bye kiddo," Harry smiled softly in return and watched
his father and mother disappear.
Two hours later
Harry sat trying to give his sister a bath while Emily was
trying to find food for them, as the elves were taking a
small vacation. Harry soon realized he was getting wetter
than his sister was.
"Demi, this would be simple if you'd' actually sit
still!" The baby was screaming as the soap got into her
sweet eyes. Emily came in, looking exasperated, her hair out
of sorts.
"Harry, maybe I should give her the bath," Emily said,
seeing that clearly her sister was having a horrid time.
Harry sighed.
"Be my guest, I'm not getting anywhere. I'll go order
pizza," Emily nodded and watched him strip off his wet
shirt and walk into the hallway.
"Well, I think your big brother is at a loss for words,
don't you?" The infant had calmed down considerably, and
was now starring at her wide eyed.
"I thought so. Now would you please sit still so I can
give you your bath?" The infant began to place her own
hands on her head, rubbing the baby soap into her hair.
"Demi, I'm glad you're my little sister," a few
moments later they were dry and happy. Emily was softly
singing while Harry came into the living room with a large
pizza box.
"Dinner time," he said softly.
"Harry, what about Demi?" Emily asked. Harry shrugged
and handed the infant a pepperoni.
"Harry," she said, but Demi had no qualms with eating
the spicy food.
"She doesn't even have teeth," Emily said surprised
as her sister seemingly gummed her food.
"She's a witch Emily, do you expect any less?"
"No, suppose not. So now what, it's only seven."
"Let's go watch a movie, dad has some good ones."
"They'd better be G rated," she said Harry nodded.
Within moments they were seated downstairs watching Sense
and Sensibility. By nine Emily had placed their sister down
for sleep and were busy watching Dogma.

Severus pulled back the blankets and climbed in next to his
wife, smiling gently. She could tell his mind was elsewhere.
Turning over she placed a hand on his chest and smiled.
"Want to tell me what the spacing out is all about?"
She asked gently.
"I don't know, I was just thinking, it's been a rough
couple of weeks, and I just pray that they're going to be
okay. I'm becoming a real honest to god father aren't
I?" he said chuckling.
"It's a father and mother's job to worry, I'd be
worried if you weren't. Severus just try and relax. Albus
will be there periodically to check on them, and we're
only going to be gone for twelve days, not even a full two
weeks. Now, I know we can't have sex until later this
summer, however I'd really like to be with my beloved
husband, who I haven't spent enough time with since then
end of the school year." He smiled and gently kissed her
lips.
"You've got me all to yourself now my love." Severus
said as he gently wrapped his arms around his wife.
"Severus, tell me something," she began.
"Anything my beautiful wife," he whispered kissing her
neck and lips.
"Is Voldemort really dead?" She asked. He stopped,
looking into her eyes gently. Those big blue expressive eyes
that were so easily lovable.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Is Voldemort really dead? Was he killed?" Severus let
go of his wife gently and frowned slightly, falling back
into his emotionless self.
"Personally, no I don't think he was, someone like that
doesn't just 'die' they live forever. He should have
died when he gave Harry that scar, but he didn't. He lived
on, and not because someone saved him but because something
inside him is keeping him alive. Until we find out what that
something is, he's going to remain alive, in a weak sense.
I believe he will remain weak for another amount of time,
and when we least expect it he will come back, and maybe win
this time."
"How long?" Severus sighed, placing his hands behind
his head.
"Before our children hit their twenties, before Demi hits
her twenties. Not before she's eleven though. Something
tells me she'll be in Hogwarts by the time he comes back.
But with the right kind of people we'll be ready."
Severus said and looked back at his wife.
"Severus, I won't lose them," Severus shook his head.
"Harry is strong, as are his sisters. We're their
parents they can't be weak. It's not in their blood."
"Severus, you nearly died," she whispered touching his
cheek.
"I know baby, but it's past now angel. We've got
twelve days left and I plan on using every day to my
advantage," he whispered rolling over and kissing her. She
giggled slightly and kissed him in return. His sweet
passionate lips. She had to smile at the thought that he was
probably the most feared and hated teacher at Hogwarts, and
here he was in bed with his wife kissing her. What
would her old friends say now?
"I love you," she whispered, her kiss deepening.
"I love you more," he replied.
"How many kids do you want?" She asked him as he
continued to kiss her neck and shoulders.
"Twenty," he said, she laughed as he pulled away and
smiled.
"I'm not giving birth to twenty kids," she said
chuckling. He smiled at her and touched her cheek, allowing
his hand to trail down her cheek and shoulders.
"One more," he said softly.
"Just one?"
"I can't handle more than five, especially since our
last one will be twenty when I'm sixty three if I have my
way," he said.
"So you want another one two years from now?" He smiled
and nodded.
"Well I don't plan on waiting fifteen more years, not
with a beautiful woman like you around." She smiled and
continued kissing him deeply.
"We're not really supposed to be doing this," she
whispered as he gazed into her eyes, a smile on his thin
lips.
"I'm a Slytherin, didn't anyone tell you? I don't
listen to rules." She laughed. Severus smiled and muttered
a charm, dimming the room completely.
