got #@^& idea. So don't yell it me

Challenge #44

Ok, I know about Severitus' challenge, in the Harry Potter fandom, to write a story where Severus Snape is Harry's real father. I've loved reading all those stories, but a twist to it came to mind - Snape is Harry's father, but neither of the Potter's are his other parent. Severus was pregnant with Remus or Sirius' baby, and was led to believe he lost the child. He was not awake during the birth and never saw the baby. When Sev wakes up, it's all over, he demands to see the baby and Dumbledore is there to tell him he's been unconscious for two days and the baby was stillborn. He's already had everything taken care of. Sev wants to know why the baby died, and is told there was something wrong with it, if Remus is the father, it's because of Remus being a werewolf, if Sirius is the father, then something else. Sev and Remus or Sirius had argued badly and he has left Sev before this, not knowing Sev was pregnant. Sev goes into a deep depression, spends every day at the baby's grave. Dumbledore finally chews him out about this one day, is really rough with him, and that was the day Sev became the hard, cold man we know. *But*. The baby isn't dead, he's been stolen by Dumbledore and given to the Potters. He also instigated the fight between the lovers to drive them apart, because Remus or Sirius was more useful to him in the field and Sev as a spy against Voldemort. How are the lies revealed and what happens to everyone? What Dumbledore did was bad, but what were his intentions? I see Dumbledore as being a pretty manipulative person, but was he trying to do what was best to get the war won by the Light side? Or could the fight between he and Voldemort be more personal? These are a few elements that must be included in the story: 1) someone snuck something into Sev's tea/food/whatever to make him go into premature labor and pass out, or the mediwitch/wizard who's taking care of him knocks him out when labor starts. 2) Sev leaves a pink rose on the baby's grave, using magic to cause it to root and grow into a rosebush that blooms year round. Show Sev at the baby's grave after a big snowfall, with the rosebush in full bloom. 3) The baby's grave is located in a graveyard attached to the Hogwart's ground. 4) This one's optional - Sev was told the baby was a boy and when he talks to him, he refers to him as 'Raven', either as a nickname or as part of his real name. Show the baby's name on the headstone of the grave when Sev is visiting. 5) Remus or Sirius is visiting the graveyard, for whatever reason, and comes across the headstone of a child bearing his and Snape's name combined and is devastated to learn Sev was pregnant and the baby died, and he left Sev to deal with it all alone. 6) Include this scene or some variation - Albus summoned Severus to his office. When the man sat in front of him, he leaned forward and said, "Severus, it's been five months. You have to stop. You're going to grieve yourself into a grave right next to that child if you don't." "Would that be so bad a thing?" Severus asked softly. "What do I have to live for, Headmaster? I am a Death Eater, looking for absolution from my sins. My son is dead, never even taking a first breath. The man I love has left me. My heart is broken and my soul bleeds. I would welcome death, at least then I would be with my son." "You owe me more than that, Severus," Albus said in a hard voice. "I gave you another chance. I protected you from the Ministry. You agreed to spy for me. And then because you were foolish enough to get involved with [Remus Lupin or Sirius Black], and fall pregnant with his child, we had to hide you here for six months, loosing much time in finding out what Voldemort is planning next. I'm sorry to be so harsh with you, Severus, but these are the facts. You owe me more than this apathy." "And am I supposed to just forget my child?!" Severus snarled. "Yes," Albus answered coldly. Severus reared back in shock. "Listen to me. The child is dead. There is nothing you can do for him. But there are many children who are alive now, who will surely die if Voldemort isn't stopped! And at this moment in time, they are more important than a dead infant!" Something inside Severus Snape froze. An icy masque fell over his face. "Very well, Headmaster. You are correct, of course. I will fulfill my duties to you. You will have no cause for complaint. Good day to you." I hope someone accepts this challenge, I'd really like to see a story like this, but I just can't write it myself. If someone could make Tom Riddle the other father, that'd be great too.

This is the challenge that I received. So for those of you who say that I'm copying the story Cruel Intentions you a greatly mistaken. I have never heard of it before. But if anyone could be so kind to tell me the story ID I would be very grateful. I want to read it so I don't end up doing the same thing I really do want to be original. But I cant if someone else has the same breed of plot bunnies as I do.

As I said before this is the challenge that I received. SO STOP YELLING AT ME!!!!!!!

I'm better now. I should have my next chapter up within the next few days
