Ch.3 A Bed Time Story
After a couple of hours playing Quidditch, everyone traipsed back up to the house and vanished into their rooms to change into pyjamas before returning to the Common Room. The only remaining traces of scarlet and Gold came from the Gryffindor pyjama clad children. The squashy furniture returned to it's original surprisingly comfortable black leather. Julie and Hevelt carried in a silver tray of butter beer. "Thank you I love your purple pyjamas you must really like purple." Handing out the rest of their drinks Julie nodded and sat down by the fire. Severus appeared last standing in the doorway wearing silver and black striped trousers and matching button down shirt looking strikingly like he belonged in Hogwarts' Slytherin common room. Ginny giggled as Severus took his drink from Kate and sat in a black high back chair beside the fire next to Julie.
"Everyone all settled in?" Severus still hasn't become accustom to his son's insistence on a bed time story but he agreed with Kate that it was Harry's way of spending time with his new family. Though Ron and Harry were accustom to this ritual Hermione and Ginny had no idea what to expect. "What story tonight son?" After a moment of thought Harry decided on the story of how he came to be with Snape, he'd learned a lot about his past this way he got the feeling it was easier for his dad to tell a story than to talk about their past, that's why he insisted on a bed time story."Alright then... Many years ago when I was a fifth year I was asked to tutor another fifth year in potions. Little did I know that I would be spending more and more time with the most beautiful witch at Hogwarts, Miss Lily Evens, of course working with her brought threats from Mr. Popularity as he thought he owned Lily and the right to say who she hung out with. Over the years we still saw each other meeting in the disappearing room at Hogwarts and sending coded owls in the summer .When we prepared to leave Hogwarts I'd planed to tell my parents I loved her and... didn't care if she was muggle born of course when I did they made me leave straight way. So I moved to Hogsmead and took the potions job at the school. Lily's mum became ill and she went to care for her. The last night of school we stayed all night in the disappearing room and it was the last I saw of Lily for quite a while. I didn't know about you (he pointed to Harry) broken hearted and lost without her I turned to the Dark Lord. Lily never forgave me. When her mother died she married James, I believe she did it to spite me. The night Voldamort went to kill your mother something in me snapped it was only after your mum's death that I had the courage to do something. Your mum's love and my protection spell saved you. Though I knew you were mine I couldn't take care of you until I'd straightened out my life. When my parents died I moved back to the mannor and returned to Hogwarts. Then my world turned upside down I met Kate in the Three Broomsticks she was working as a bar maid. She reminded me so much of Lily it was love at first sight as they say. I continued spying on Voldamort and to this day I don't believe he knew it was me that interrupted him when I stopped being called for meetings I sent for Harry."
AN: I know it's short (like me..hehe) but you got the back story and I'm working on the next chapter already!
