________________________________________________ Last time:
"Happy Birthday Harry!" everyone said. They didn't yell because obviously Albus told them he was scared of loud noises or too many people at once.
Harry was stunned. A birthday party? For him?! #Wow! # He thought. _______________________________________________________
Remus put his hands on Harry's back and pushed him forward slightly to get the boy moving.
Not a good idea. At all. Not a bit. You'll see why.
Harry screamed and fell to the ground in a heap and put his hands over his head. He started to whimper slightly and shake on the ground.
"Harry!" Severus exclaimed and picked up the heap on the floor and held it to his chest.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I forgot about that!" Remus said. He took a step towards Severus and put a soothing hand on Harry's forehead. "Come on pup. You know I wouldn't hurt you on purpose, right?" Remus said in a calm voice.
Harry was sobbing in Severus' robes, but stopped shaking as badly.
Albus came over followed by McGonagall and stood beside Remus.
"Harry? It's me, Papa Albus. Are you okay, Harry?" Albus asked.
Harry nodded his head and looked up at Severus.
"I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't hurt me, but you sneaked up on me and it scared me. Is this all for me?" Harry said looking at Remus.
Albus nodded and Minerva smiled.
"Do you like it?" Minerva asked.
Harry nodded his head and smiled.
"What do you want to start with: Presents or cake?" Albus asked.
"I don't know. I've never haved a birthday party that I amember." Harry said. He moved around in his father's arms to where Severus was carrying Harry on his side with his arm around Harry's backside. Harry wrapped his arms around Severus' neck and put his head on the man's shoulder.
"Well, I would like for him to have the presents first, and then the cake." Severus said.
Harry nodded and smiled wide.
"Hello. I'm sorry about what just happeneded. I'm Harry. Who are you?" Harry said to everyone. "I know Daddy and Papa Moony, Auntie Minnie, Papa Albus, Unkie Filly, Auntie Poppy, and I think that that's Auntie Rah, but I don't know the rest of you..." Harry babbled.
"How-What-When?" Minerva stuttered.
"I have no clue, Minerva. He noticed that I was Papa Moony and no one had told him at the time." Remus said. Severus put Harry down on the floor.
"Hmm.... He may just have held on to those memories all these years. No worries." Albus said. "Now, this is Hagrid, and this is Professor Sinistra, and this is Professor Vector, and this is Professor Trelawney." Albus said, pointing to each person as he said their name.
"Hello." Harry said shyly. He wasn't too scared around his mock-family, but around these others he wasn't too sure about them. Harry stepped behind his dad. Especially Hagrid. He was big. Bigger than Uncle Vernon. That scared him a lot.
"Ello, 'Arry! 'Uo remember me?" the giant man, Hagrid, asked, walking up to Harry.
"Err... I don't think so," Harry said slowly.
"Awe, it's okay. You were jus' a baby las' time I saw you." Hagrid said. He smiled warmly and Harry stepped out from behind Severus, confident the giant man wouldn't hurt him.
Harry reached up and took Severus' hand in one and Remus' in the other.
"Now... about that cake?" Albus asked.
"I see that young Harry will be in danger soon, Severus. He will face a horrible death in his near future. So horrible... I must go!" Trelawney sobbed and she left in a hurry.
"Dad...?" Harry asked, skeptical of the strange woman.
"She's the Divination teacher, Harry. She is supposed to see the future, but is not very good at it." Auntie Rah told him in a whisper as she knelt beside Harry.
"Oh... ok..." Harry whispered back. He giggled softly.
Auntie Rah smiled and said, "We need to get this party started," and she waved her wand. 'The Weird Sisters' started to play and Harry automatically loved their music.
Severus walked over to the table, pulling Harry along with him.
"Daaaad!" Harry said, almost toppling over when he was lightly jerked forward and accidentally let go of Remus' hand
Severus turned around and caught Harry and carried him while he walked to the table, smiling.
"Cake." He said.
Remus went behind them, followed by all of the other teachers that had been talking to one another with goblets of pumpkin juice.
"Oh... right!" Harry laughed.
"Now, we sing." Unkie Filly said, standing on a bench so he was almost Severus' height.
'The Weird Sisters' music was turned down as they sung "Happy Birthday" and made Harry make a wish.
#I wish I could meet my mom...# Harry wished silently.
He blew out all four candles in one breath, and asked for the music to start up again, and Remus immediately put the music back on despite the fact he didn't like it at all.
"Harry! That's so incredible! Here, in the wizarding world, when you make a wish and you blow out *every* *Single* *Candle* you will get your wish within the next two days!" Auntie Minnie said smiling.
"Really!?" Harry exclaimed.
"Really." Severus said. He smiled and cut the cake into pieces and gave one to each person.
"Well, Severus, I never knew you had this side to you. I thought you were just a mean person out to get everyone that showed signs of happiness." Professor Vector said to the potion master. "Thank you for the cake." he added, taking a bite out of the baked good.
"You're welcome, and by the way, I've always had this side to me. I just never have shown it. Remus and I have been friends since the age of seven and I also befriended Sirius and James. Peter Pettigrew... I could care less about." Severus said, giving a big piece of cake to Harry and getting one of his own.
"Dad?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Harry?" Severus asked, looking the boy in the eye.
"Can I have some... ice cream?" Harry asked tentavely. Severus thought for a moment and then concluded that it wouldn't hurt anything. He also knew that if Harry didn't get his ice cream, the boy would probably pull away from him completely and never grow up a normal child.
"Of course. Brevent." Severus said, pulling out his wand and flicking it once.
A few seconds later, a house elf Harry remembered as Lika, appeared.
"Lika, why did you not bring our lunch the last time I asked you?" Severus asked kindly, kneeling to se eye-to-eye with the house elf.
"Master Dumbledore said not to. Lika must put Master Dumbledore's wishes over all. Lika is sorry." Lika put her head down.
"Lika, it is ok. Will you please get Harry some ice cream?" Severus asked.
"What kind would Master Harry like?" Lika asked.
"Umm.... Chocolate please." Harry said kindly. The elf was as big as him!
"Yes sir. Right away sir!" Lika squealed and ran off.
"That's a very nice house-elf." Harry commented. "Very polite. I like her."
"They're supposed to be. They have to be nice to their masters and do whatever they're told to do." Remus said, walking over.
"Why?" Harry asked. He reminded himself that these people would want him to be himself and wouldn't beat him to keep himself from flinching as he asked the question.
"I do not know." Remus laughed. "Something I never could find out. When you learn to read, you can go to the library and try to find that out." Harry mentally vowed that he would find out why house-elves had to do what they were told.
"That reminds me, Remus. Will you take the job as Defense against the Dark Arts job this year?" Albus asked walking over.
Harry grinned widely when he saw Lika silently come back up and give him a bowl of Chocolate Ice Cream and silently sneak back out.
"Of course, Albus. I'd be delighted!" Remus said.
"And Severus, what will you do with Harry during school hours?" Minerva asked.
"He will stay in the classroom with me. He can learn the potions with the younger students and play with something or another when the older students are in class..." Severus said, patting Harry's head softly.
As Severus patted Harry's head Harry accidentally spilled the chocolate ice cream all down his front in surprise of the motion and it landed with a *splat! * on the floor.
And all over the adult's robes.
"Uh oh." Harry said, looking at the mess.
"What's Uh Oh, pup?" Remus asked. He looked down and saw the mess and burst out laughing.
"What's so funny Remus?" Severus asked, looking down. Harry was covered in brown gooey stuff and so were the bottom of Albus, Remus, Minerva and his robes. Harry looked like a big brown glob and had Ice cream all over his face. His green eyes and jet-black hair made him look like a fudge-and- jelly-bean covered ice cream cone.
"Harry..." Severus warned. Harry closed his eyes and bowed his head and flinched hard.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I was surprised at you patting my head and the bowl slipped! I'm sorry!" Harry babbled.
Severus picked Harry up. "It's okay cub... I'm sorry I shouldn't have touched your head. It's okay. This can be cleaned up easily!"
"Yes, Harry, watch." Albus said. He took out his wand and waved it and the ice cream was gone off the floor and all the robes and Harry. Harry put his hand on his arm and pulled it off, surprised he wasn't still sticky.
"Wow! I wish I could be magic too." Harry said in awe.
"You are, Harry." Minerva confirmed. She took a bite out of her cake and watched everyone as they spoke to one another all around the room.
"Really? You never said I was magic too!" Harry squealed. Severus' ear started to ring.
The doors to the Great Hall burst open and someone yelled "HARRY! SEVERUS! REMUS!"
A woman with red hair and green eyes in pink robes was at the door holding a little girl that looked like she was about two or three in her arms.
"Lily?" Severus and Remus asked at the same time.

Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation! Why is Lily at the door? Who's the kid? When will Harry stop being Jittery? Where's Sirius going to come in? You'll find out later!
