Chapter 3
***NOTE!!!! As you'll probably notice when you read the chapter, Ina and Russ is one and the same. Ina will now only come out once in a while or when there's a flashback that is before the 'I want to be the husband' episode, okay. Everything that is after that is purely Russ, a he. ***END NOTE!!!!
"Jamie."
Jamie sighed as he turned around. "Russ! I thought I told you not to call me 'Jamie' anymore!!!"
'Russ,' who had once been known as 'Ina,' smiled and went into his rare 'I'm-still-a-girl-inside' mode. Ever since that day when they had agreed that she would be the husband and Jamie the wife, Russ had kept his façade. Jamie could count in his hands the number of times in the last six years that Russ showed his true self. Of course, Russ only showed 'Ina,' to himself. To everybody else, especially his father, there was never an 'Ina,' only 'Russ.' Russ was already too boyish for anyone to consider him as otherwise when he went to school, so nobody in school ever suspected anything, either.
Jamie smiled and once again wondered how a man could ever think of changing this beautiful girl in front of him into something that she is so obviously not.
"I know," Ina said, "I promise that was the last time. Write us, okay?"
Jamie was leaving for Hogwarts today. They were in the train station, waiting for the other students of Hogwarts to come and the train to leave. Ina had offered to go with her best friend to the train station, and so did Harry.
Harry was Russ' pet dog. Jamie gave Russ the dog when he turned five, suggesting that Harry become their temporary baby. As normal parents would do, they taught Harry what he needed to know. They taught him how to use the potty, trained him with several tricks, and they even fed him milk from a baby bottle when he was only a pup.
"'course, I'll write you. I'll never forget you and Harry."
"Promise?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die!!!"
They smiled and kissed each other on the cheek. Jamie patted Harry on his head and said,
"Take care of daddy, okay?"
Bark Bark Bark!!!
"We'll see you in June, then, James Potter," Ina said, putting her cap on backwards. Ina was gone and Russ took his place.
"See you, too, Sabrina Snape."
"Don't call me that!" Russ snapped.
Hearing the new, but now familiar tone of Russ, he looked up and smiled. He playfully punched Russ on the shoulder and said, "Fine then, Severus."
