Chapter Nineteen-The Haircut 
 
Roxanne, Harry, Hermione, Emily and Albus all stood in the 
room, watching Leanne stare at Severus, who was sitting in the
bed nervously. 
 
"You sure you want to do this?" Roxanne asked as she 
handed her sister the scissors. 
 
"Why not, I cut your hair all the time when we were 
kids," Lea said as she moved Severus' head around. He 
had a bit of a nervous look on his face. 
 
"Yeah, but well, you sucked at it," Roxanne said. 
 
"I'm older now, besides, if he doesn't like it we can 
magic it back," Roxy looked at her sister bug eyed. 
 
"You mean all those times you cut my hair crooked you 
could have fixed it!" Roxy yelled. 
 
"Of course I could, you don't think daddy would have 
let me cut it otherwise do ya?" Lea said. 
 
"Sev sit still," she said softly. They had shampooed, 
and conditioned his hair, which was now clean and nice 
looking. 
 
"Sit still! You're about to hack off my 'air and you 
want me to sit still," he said, his British accent clear 
as a bell. 
 
"Yes," she said. Slowly she began to cut away the dark 
black hair. Harry watched as his Potions Master and father 
was quickly transformed. His chin length black hair cut 
shorter. 
 
"Give me the comb," she said. She brushed through his 
hair and ran her hands through it. Hermione watched in 
fascination, as well as Emily. 
 
"What is she doing to me?" Severus asked looking at his 
son, who was raising an eyebrow. 
 
"Cutting your hair," Emily whispered. 
 
"Quite you two, because you're both next," Lea said as 
she finished her husband's hair. She stepped back and 
smiled. Stepping back she smiled and nodded. 
 
"Wow, now he looks cool," Harry said. 
 
"Damn, I'm sorry I missed my chance," Roxanne said 
looking at her handsome brother-in-law. 
 
"He is hot isn't he," Lea said smiling. Too anyone who had seen Dogma, he looked
surprisingly familiar! She had seen 
the film seventeen times and could match the Metatron's hair 
easily.
 
"He looks less creepy and much cuter," Roxy said. 
 
"Do you mind?" Severus said as he snatched the mirror 
from the side table and looked at his hair. He examined his 
reflection. 
 
"What do you think baby?" Lea asked leaning on him and 
hugging him, running a hand through his soft silky hair. 
 
"It's great," he said smiling. 
 
"You really like it?" He nodded smiling and kissing her 
cheek. 
 
"I love it, and I love you," he said softly. 
 
"I'm glad to hear it," she said rubbing her hand of 
her scalp and placing her cheek against his soft hair and 
head. 
 
"I think it's Harry's turn," Severus said smiling. 
Harry shook his head, his hair near his shoulders now. 
 
"Go on Harry, get that unruly hair cut," Hermione said 
pushing him. She gripped her hand and smiled. 
 
"All right," Sitting down in a chair he sat back as his 
mother quickly got ready. 
 
"You're not going to scalp me are you?" Harry asked. 
She laughed and pushed his head forward. 
 
"Harry look at your father and trust me," she said 
gently. A few minutes later she stood back, giving Hermione 
a great shot of him. She smiled brightly. 
 
"How do I look?" He asked gently. 
 
"Great," she said, her eyes sparkling. He took the 
mirror from his father's hands and looked at his 
reflection. His hair was much shorter, with light bangs and 
layered. 
 
"I like it," he said as he ran a hand through it and 
smiled as it went right back into place. Hermione came over 
and smiled. 
 
"I like it too," she whispered looking at her handsome 
friend. 
 
"Like father like son," Severus whispered as he smiled 
at his son. 
 
"This is cool," Harry said.
