Harry woke up in the hospital wing, his head muzzy from landing so harshly on the floor of Dumbledore's office. He shook his head gingerly, wondering where he had dreamed up that ridiculous event, Snape marrying his own mother, who had been dead for over fifteen years. Severus and Lily Snape, Harry laughed to himself as he watched Poppy Pomfrey bustle over to his side and administer a potion of Snape's that he had brewed for the hospital wing.
Lily bit her lip lightly as she held back outside the door to the hospital wing. She wouldn't blame the boy if he hated her. She still loved him fiercely, but wished he was Severus's child instead of Potter's. Lily smiled lightly as she rested her hand on her belly, comforted by the knowledge all that would change shortly. She only wished that her other son would be happy.
Harry focused his eyes on his mother when she walked in the room gingerly, looking like Hermione when faced with a particularly puzzling piece of homework.
"I will be honest with you..Harry.. I do not blame you if you hate me and Severus. But I do need to know."
"Mum, how could I ever hate you? you loved me and gave up your life to save me. That is the ultimate price.. but... SNAPE!?" Harry winced at the thought of the two together. Lily laughed, her fears put at ease. She sat down on Harry's bed and smiled, holding on to his hand gingerly, still fearful that he would pull it out of her light grasp.
"I love him. Simply answered." Lily said with a smile. "And you need to understand that. He has led a lonely life, and this is his first chance at happiness since I have died, I imagine. Do grant him this wish, Harry. That is all I ask. Some consideration for the man who gave his everything for the Order of the Phoenix."
*I love you, Mum* Harry whispered as he bowed his head, a tear dripping on his coverlet.
The next morning found Harry sitting at the Gryffindor Table, looking up at his mother at her perch next to Snape. The two looked like they belonged together, his stoic silence and her gleeful energy balancing out his darkness. Harry did hate to admit it to himself, that Severus Snape would be a great husband to his mother.
A/N: kind of a short chappy, but I'm heading out of town without my computer for a few days, might be a bit before my next update. Any ideas or comments are GREATLY welcomed. If you HAVE TO flame, please do it in an constructive and respectful manner. Thank you!
