New Resolutions II
Chapter 11- Father and Son
By: Abbie Snape
"Lil, Jorie, go visit Me-Me for a little, okay?" said Harry.
"Okay," said Jordan.
"Bye Daddy," said Lily.
"You are letting them wonder to Jade's office alone?" asked Severus sitting down behind his desk.
"Of course not. Bryan is waiting for them," said Harry walking around the room.
"I see. So, what did you want to see me for son?" he asked leaning back.
"Um...a lot of things," he said glancing at Severus for a moment before looking at things on the shelves.
"And the first one is?"
"What do you say to having another grandchild?"
"What!" he asked bolting up. "Is Leah pregnant again?"
"No...not pregnant."
"Then, what is she?"
"Well, it depends. Depends on this trail thing that might happen. Leah wants to adopt Thomas Riddick, a five year old boy who is abused by this parents."
"Just Leah?"
"Well, Lily and Jordan too."
"I meant you. What about you? Do you want to adopt him?"
"I..." but he paused and looked at his father.
Severus raised an eyebrow at him. Did Harry?
"Yes."
Severus gave him a smirk. "Thought so."
"I care about him and all but Lily and Jordan are a hand full now. How will it be with the both of them plus a five year old? And then there is the whole thing with what if his parents get off? I can't let him go back to them. What would I do?"
"First, calm down. Don't everything has to be solved by you."
"Who else is going to do it?" snapped Harry.
Severus shook his head slowly. "All I can tell you is try your hardest to get him away from this parents, legally, I mean and do what your heart tells you."
Harry glanced over at him with a smirk. "Just be glad one of your first years isn't in here. You could ruin your reputation."
"You could ruin it, you mean."
"Now, would I want to do ruin my father's reputation he's worked so hard to achieve?"
"Yes!"
Harry smiled. "Anyway, another reason I stopped by is that you know Death Eaters better then Draco does, since you are-"
"Was," interrupted Severus.
"One," finished Harry.
"Fine...what do you need to know."
"Was Narcissa Malfoy active as one seven years ago?"
Severus leaned back, hands together, his gaze fixed on Harry.
"No."
"Would she be now?"
"No."
"How do you now for sure?"
"I know Narcissa. She was supported of the Dark Lord but mainly just because of Lucius. I don't think now, with Lucius gone, she wouldn't be doing anything with it."
"What if she was mad at Draco or Leah? Would she then?"
"No."
Harry just nodded. He trusted his father's opinion.
"Do you know a Ryan Miles," he asked suddenly.
"No," said Severus. "Why?"
"Just wondering..."
Severus just looked at him before he let it pass. "Any luck with the Death Eaters?"
"No. Information isn't crossing each other. Three different leads, not even connected."
"Which one are you following?"
"All three. I have people on every single one."
"So, what are you planning?"
"Just go with what I have. You would think we would be able to find them."
"One would think that."
"Shut-up."
The corners of Harry's lips curled up into a smile as he picked up a vial of liquid.
"Don't drop that," warned Severus.
"I know Dad. A very important potion, that took you months to create. I am not a little kid anymore," said Harry looking at him.
"I know. Just remember that though," said Severus still eyeing him. "But you are still little compared to me. I have a few years on you."
"A few?"
Severus glared at him before Harry smirked. He placed the veil back safely on the shelf.
"How's Leah?" asked Severus.
"Stressed."
"How are the two of you doing?"
"What do you mean?" he asked sitting down on one of the tables.
"How's the marriage? Just in general."
"Good," he said slowly. "Why?"
"Can't I wonder?"
"Yes...I guess. It is good. I mean, we both are stressed now with everything going on. I guess our love can go through anything."
"I know. I must admit, I didn't think it would last beginning so young."
"Unlike you and Jade?" asked Harry with a smirk.
"How's does your relationship come into mine?"
"Can't I wonder?"
"Don't mock me."
"You know you love me."
"Will you ever grow up?"
"Umm...no. I live with two seven year olds. How would you act?"
"Like I do now."
Harry snorted and rolled his eyes. Severus looked down his watch.
"I hate to run you off son but I have a class, Gryffindor and Slytherin first years. You are welcome to stay but I should warn you, most of them are worse then you and Longbottom in your first year."
Harry raised an eyebrow. "That bad?"
"I am afraid so."
"I think I will go get my kids from Jade and head home to see if they will take a nap so I can."
"You are wishing a lot."
"Don't I know it," muttered Harry.
The dungeon door opened and the first years come into the room. Harry smiled at seeing that everyone was getting along, both Gryffindor and Slytherin.
"Settle down," snapped Severus looking around the room.
Harry held back a snort as the class suddenly became silent, but he heard whispers. He had a feeling they were about him.
"I'll see you later Dad," he said heading toward the door.
"Alright."
Harry mouthed, "I love you" before he headed out the door. He made his way up the stairs to Jade's classroom.
"Now, Jordan here will hand out your homework back while Lily will give you your quiz. You have thirty minutes to finish it," he heard Jade say.
"Putting them to work I see," he said leaning against the doorframe.
Jade looked over at him with a smile. "Why of course. They have to be good for something," she said.
The class turned to him. He swore he heard a couple girls mutter, "he is so cute" or "to bad he is married." He smiled his most charming smile at them. Jade walked over to him and playfully slap him on the arm.
"Leah wouldn't be happy seeing you like this," she said with amusement.
"Can I help it that I am so attractive?"
Lily giggled as she walked passed them. Harry gave her a little kick on the butt as she passed him.
"You know, you have perfect timing for coming into day," said Jade.
"Why?" Harry asked slowly.
"This quiz is about you."
"You have to be kidding me," he said grabbing the quiz from the nearest table. "What is Harry Potter famous for? That is a trick question, very smart of you. See next is Harry Potter-Snape. Are you trying to trick these poor children?"
Jade smirked at him. "No, never," she said. "They know the difference."
"Sure."
Jade elbowed him in the side.
"Ouch! Watch it there Me-Me," he said rubbing his side.
"Like that hurt you. You've been hurt worse."
Harry glared at her before she pocked him in the side.
"Lily, Jordan, you ready? We have to get home," he said.
"Can't we stay?" asked Jordan.
"No sweetie. I would like to get some sleep before work tomorrow."
"Me-Me can bring us home," said Lily.
"Don't gang up on me twins," he warned them.
Some of the students giggled at them.
"Fine," the both said.
The girls all did an 'aw' sound at him. "Oh great. Now you got them ganging up on me," muttered Harry.
"Cloaks, gloves, and hats now girls," said Jade patting Harry on the shoulder.
The girls nodded and disappeared into Jade's office. Harry leaned his head back and closed his eyes but not for long.
"Harry James Potter-Snape!"
Harry winced a bit at his wife's voice. He opened his eyes slowly to see Leah standing in front of him, hands on hips.
"Umm...hi babe," he said.
She tapped her foot on the floor impatiently.
"What brings you here?" he said gulping.
"I could ask you the same thing. Didn't I ask you to stay at home, did I not?"
Harry winced again. "Yes."
"And does this look like home?"
"Actually, if you-"
"Don't be a smart ass!"
"No ma'am."
"Ladies, watch and learn," said Jade.
Leah looked at Jade with a smile.
"To bad I don't have time. If you were home, you would have gotten this," she said holding up a letter. "And I wouldn't have to come here and drag your sorry as-"
"Hi Mum," said Jordan coming out of the office.
"Butt to the ministry," she finished.
"What?" Harry snapped grabbing the letter out of her hand.
"Hey!"
Harry ignored her and read the letter.
"YES!" he yelled.
"Thought you would like to know. I am missing half-"
"Come on Lily, Jordan. We have to go before your mother decides to turn me into a toad," said Harry.
Lily ran into his arms while Jordan jumped into Leah's.
"Now the question is," said Leah. "Are we going to be Tommy's guardians?"
