Chapter Fifteen-Discovering The Future
Severus stood perfectly still watching his older self smile as he watched. Plenty had changed about him. He no longer had long greasy black hair, but gray blond hair and brighter eyes than he had ever really held. He seemed tanner as well. He looked pleasant.
"This is awaits me if I live?" Severus asked.
"Just watch my friend. You'll live a good life Severus. Instead of being known as a bastard or a greasy git, you'll be known as the richest man in all of Hogwarts. Instead of spending your summers alone and crying, you'll spend them riding along the hills of your ranch home with your sons, and god sons. Instead of spending your time cursing the fact that you live everyday around these little boys, you'll be thanking your happiness and excitement that awaits your sons. Instead of yelling at the Gryffindors you'll be cheering everyone on, not just one house, but every house. Pride will fill your heart as you watch your children grow. Not just Demi and your little boy, but Harry and Emily. They won't just be your children they will become Lea's children too. Lily didn't want you to die, but she wants you to move on, she wants you and Harry and Emily to move on. She wants you all to see the chance you have sitting directly in front of you," the Metatron said quietly.
"Show me more," Severus said. The Metatron smile as he glanced over at Jamie. Nodding the Metatron snapped his fingers, and the scenery changed.
They were in the mansion, a large Christmas tree stood in the middle of the living room. A fire was lit, and an older looking Lea sat on the couch as she slowly wrapped a present.
"When are the kids getting here?" Severus asked as he walked over to his wife, he hadn't changed much.
"Harry will be here by six tonight, Emily didn't know, she thinks her husband might have to work." The Severus nodded.
"Well, she married the Minister of Magic, she can't honestly expect herself to never be busy. What about Demi?"
"She will be here with her family soon, as well as Jase," Lea said.
"Are we happy?" Severus asked looking towards Jamie. The man nodded.
"You'll be happy Severus. Given the chance you'll be thrilled. You'll have bad moments, of course, and maybe you may even drift from your son, but you will never stop loving him," Jamie explained.
"Severus, we need to show you some of the bad things as well, if you do live, you still have to face the fact that life will never be perfect," The Metatron said.
"All right." The Metatron snapped his fingers again and they stood in a small hospital room. Severus looked around and then saw himself sitting before a thirty year old Harry.
"My God what happened to the boy?"
"He's dying Severus, his life like your shall be hanging in the balance as well," Jamie said.
"Voldemort isn't dead is he," Severus said touching his son's face.
"No, and you know that. Tell them. People will begin to listen, the sooner the better," the Metatron said.
"He looks like me," Severus said staring at his son, a mirror image of himself with a little Lily combined.
"Severus, we need to move on," Jamie spoke quietly.
"Will he die?"
"What do you think?" Jamie asked as the Metatron snapped his fingers once again.
They stood in the house once again, but everything looked different. He heard the pounding of feet as he watched an eighteen year old Harry huff down the stairs.
"Harry," Lea said walking towards him.
"I don't want the damn house! I don't want his shit! I want him, I want my father back! I just want my Father!" Harry yelled as he left the house.
"Where am I?" Severus asked watching painfully as his son sat down on the porch just outside of the house and began to cry.
"This is what will happen if you die," Jamie said softly.
"It will destroy your son Severus. Only you can teach him that he has a family now. He thinks your all he has, because you were there for him to rely on. If you die that will all be gone," The Metatron said softly.
"I don't want to hurt my son, I love him, I really do."
"Maybe you should tell him again. Severus, your son knows you love him, but it hurts him to see you suffer. He adores you. Do you know that a year ago he saw you as a bit of a hero?" The Metatron said. Severus looked at him and bent down in front of his son. He was so handsome. Touching the boys cheek tenderly he smiled.
"It's going to be bad isn't it?" Severus asked.
"He wouldn't live past his eighteenth year, and if Voldemort isn't defeated what do you think would happen?" Severus nodded as he looked at the Metatron and sighed.
"I can't let him die, Harry could live a good life, and the truth is I'm afraid to let that boy down anymore than he's already been let down," Severus said.
"You saying what I think you're saying?"
"Yes." Severus said.
