Diagon Alley

The following morning, Severus woke up early. "Where the hell am I?" He asked himself. "Oh yeah, I forgot." He added, answering his own question. He got up and went to put his glasses on but refrained. 'I don't need them anymore.' He took Flying with the Cannons and went to the sitting room to wait for his father to wake up. He didn't need to wait long.

"Here, take these clothes. They should fit you well enough." His dad said. He handed him an outfit identical to what his father wore to classes. He went to his room and changed into it. 'I look like him even more now.' Severus thought. "Do they fit?" His dad asked from behind him. "Yeah, they fit." Severus replied. They walked up to breakfast.

They met Ron and Hermione on the way there and Ron started laughing. "What's so funny, Ron?" Severus asked. "You look like a-a mini Potions Master without the skills." Ron exclaimed. He had to hold onto Hermione's shoulder to keep from falling. "Ron that hurts the shoulder." Hermione said. "Oh yeah I forgot about that 'Mione. Let's go to breakfast." Ron said. "Oh my, Severus, he looks like you even more now." Professor McGonagall exclaimed when she saw them together. "He has no other clothes, Minerva. The clothes those muggles gave him were at least ten sizes too big." Severus' father explained.

They ate a big breakfast and Ron kept on making fun of Severus' new outfit. "Are we going to Diagon Alley now Dad?" Severus asked. His dad nodded.

They flooed to the Leaky Cauldron where they were greeted by the barkeeper, Tom. They said their hellos and went out back to the archway that led to all the shops. "Miss Granger, why are you wearing a sweater when it is the height of summer?" Professor Snape asked. "No reason, I just like to be warm." She explained. He felt that there was another explanation but left it alone. After they went to Gringotts the four of them ventured into Flourish and Blotts to get their set books. A number of students were terrified at the scene of their Potions professor in the bookshop.

"Oh, Ron and Hermione! I never thought we would see you here." Mrs. Weasley said. She rushed over and gave them each a hug. "Hullo Mrs. Weasley." Severus said. She turned to him. "Harry?" She asked cautiously. He nodded. "Dumbledore explained to us about this but he never said you looked so much like him. How are you doing?" Mrs. Weasley cried. "My name isn't Harry anymore though. It's now Severus Severin Snape III. I'm named after my dad." Severus explained to his friend's mother. "I can't believe it's you. You got so tall. And your hair- it's so long, just like your father's." Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. Severus pushed his hair back behind his ears. "Hello Mrs. Weasley." Professor Snape said. "Hello Professor. How do you feel about having a son?" She replied. A small smile graced his features. "It's all right, I guess. He's no problem really. I'm rather enjoying it so far." Professor Snape said. He looked at his son who was chatting with his friends. They got their books, said goodbye to Mrs. Weasley, and went to Quality Quidditch Supplies to look at Quidditch uniforms.

"I need new robes." Severus said. He had grown several inches so his old robes were way too short. He also had to have his name changed to Snape on the back of the robes. "We need to go to the Magical Menagerie Dad. I need some owl treats for Hedwig and Ron needs some for Pigwidgeon." Severus said. His dad nodded. They entered the shop and Hermione went to look at the owls. Severus' father noticed the yearning in her eyes as she walked away to help her boyfriend pick out some owl treats. He walked over and picked up the cage with a pitch black owl in it. He went to the counter and paid for it. "Can you keep this here for around a half an hour please? I'll come back to get it." He said to the clerk. She nodded in agreement. "Severus, I'll be back in less than fifteen minutes. Behave yourself." Professor Snape said to his son. He left the shop and went to Quality Quidditch supplies. He picked up two Firebolt XP broomsticks, paid for them, and shrunk them to fit in his pocket. He returned to the Magical Menagerie and picked up the owl. He put a disillusionment charm on the owl cage and waited near the entrance for a few minutes.

"I wonder how fast the Firebolt XP goes, mate." Ron said to his friend.

"Probably pretty fast, I reckon." Severus replied. "Hey Dad." He added when he saw his father. He enlarged the two boxes with the brooms in them. "If you want to find out how fast the new Firebolt is, how about you find out yourselves. Open them up."

They took the boxes and opened them. Their eyes lit up. "Are these ours?" Ron asked stupidly. Professor Snape nodded. "Thank you a million times over, Professor Snape." He said.

"And for you Miss Granger." He said lifting the disillusionment charm off of the owl. "Wow, thank you, Professor Snape. Thank you so much." She said, resisting the urge to hug him. "Is it male or female?" Hermione asked. "Female." He replied. "I'm going to name her Helena." She said. The owl hooted beautifully. They had an ice cream at Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlor. Hermione got a chocolate cookie dough sundae, Ron got Bertie Botts Every Flavour Bean Surprise, Severus got a hot butterscotch sundae, and his father got a hot fudge sundae. "Oh no!" Hermione said as she spilled ice cream down her front. "Scourgify." She said flicking her wand at it. It automatically cleaned itself up. After they were finished their ice cream and Professor Snape paid for them, they flooed back to Hogwarts.

"Severus, do you want to come to the Lion's Den with us?" Ron asked. "What on earth is the Lion's Den?" Professor Snape asked. "Gryffindor Common Room, Dad. Sure Ron, I just need to put my things in my room and I'll be right up." Severus replied. Hermione and Ron nodded and made their way up to Gryffindor Tower. Severus went to the dungeons with his father. He changed into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt that actually fit him and started putting his stuff away. He was putting his telescope in its case when he dropped it. "Shit!" He exclaimed. His father came in at the sound of the crash. "I just broke my telescope, no big deal. Repairo!" He said pointing his wand at the broken telescope. It pieced back together and Severus put it back in the case without breaking it. "I'm going to Gryffindor Tower now, Dad. I'll see you at supper." Severus said to his father. He nodded and left the room.

A few minutes later, Severus arrived at the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Gryffindors Rule." He said and the portrait swung open. "Hey Sev, it's about time you got here." Ron said with a chocolate frog in his mouth. He threw one to Severus and he caught it. "What were you guys doing while you were waiting for me?" Severus asked. "Nothing, just talking. Don't look at me that way. Ron keeps nattering on and on about his broomstick." Hermione said. "I'd say we all go out flying but Hermione can't fly if her life depended on it. Please don't hurt me." Severus said jokingly. "I don't even like flying in any sort of way, especially broomsticks." Hermione said indignantly. "How about a game of exploding snap then?" Ron offered. "I'm game for that." Severus said. And they started playing.

The three friends played exploding snap for a few hours and talked about all sorts of different things, school included. "I have to go back down to the dungeons, you guys. It's a bit late. I'll see you tomorrow." Severus said looking at the huge clock in the Gryffindor Common Room. "Bye Sev, see you at breakfast." Ron said. "Goodnight Severus." Hermione said as well. He left Gryffindor Common room and headed towards the dungeons. He was approaching his destination when he saw Peeves.

"Well if it isn't Snapey jr." Peeves cackled. "Peeves get out of my way please." Severus said politely. "I won't move until you say please." Peeves responded in a singsong, dreamy voice that reminded Severus of Luna Lovegood. "I did say please, Peeves. Please let me through. Oh look, the Bloody Baron is coming and he looks angry." Severus said with a smirk. Peeves glided through the air in a hurry but the Bloody Baron was nowhere in sight. He smirked at himself and said the password to the portrait. He walked in and saw his dad sitting in a chair by the fire reading. "I'm back, Dad." He said.

His father looked up at him from his book. "It'll never cease to amaze me how fast you got used to being my son." His dad said. Severus took a seat across from him.

"I admit it was a bit of a shock at first, you know, naturally. The Potions Master who tormented me for five and a half years turned out to be my father. I don't know why though but it just felt right." Severus explained. His hand came up to his scar and he gritted his teeth in pain. "Are you all right?" Professor Snape asked concernedly. Severus was on the floor now holding his head. His father knelt down on the ground by him. "I'm all right Dad. It's just Voldemort must be unusually happy or angry right now." He replied still holding his hand to his forehead. "It happens all the time." He added. By now, his scar had stopped hurting and he could stand up again. Severus yawned. "Goodnight Dad, I'm going to bed." He exclaimed. "Goodnight son." His dad said. He left to go to his room. He changed into a pair of black flannel pyjamas and got into bed.
