The love of a child
Chapter fifteen – What now?
"Just tell me why you did it Harry?" Dumbledore said, his voice was not angry but filled with disappointment and that was what stung.
"I missed my fiancé, is that so wrong?" Harry said trying to defend himself, it wasn't making him feel any better however and the look he was receiving made him feel as if he was right back in school, a naughty student caught out of bed at night.
"You could have got them all killed, I knew you would act on impulses but that was just plain stupid Harry."
"I'm not a child any more Dumbledore, I knew what was at risk when I said the spell but you know what I didn't care, that is how much I wanted to see him."
"You should have asked me first."
"You would have said no, I know it was wrong but I miss him ok, Bonnie misses him and guess what, Remus misses Sirius, you were the one that forced them to go, you were the one that separated us in the first place." Harry yelled his rage going on over load and suddenly Severus appeared in front of them looking bewildered just as Harry fainted.
He came round moments later, he was still in the room and Severus was holding him close on the sofa. Albus had gone as had Minerva but Remus remained holding a fidgeting Bonnie.
"What happened?" Harry asked trying to sit up but his partner stopped him.
"It appears that Bonnie and the twins felt your need to be with me and used their magic to summon me at the same time, an amazing show of power but you do realise that I have to go back." Severus said calmly letting Harry settle back into his chest. Bonnie was still struggling to be with both her fathers; Remus placed her on Harry's lap and watched as she was welcomed there with open arms.
"That's my girl." Harry said lovingly holding her close, they were a family once again and the bond between them grew as they sat there. Remus deciding he had no place in the room left them to it.
"You should not praise her, she did after all do something wrong."
"No she didn't, she did something that she knew her daddy wanted, I should have kept my emotions and feelings more to myself, it isn't her fault that we have a strong bond."
"No I don't suppose that it is but I love you even more for it, Harry I know this is…well sudden but do you want to bond with me?"
"What now?"
"Yeah, I mean we're here aren't we and it means that maybe I can stay for a while longer, I know for a fact that Dumbledore loves any excuse to have a celebration."
Harry blinked still trying to get over the shock of the initial blow, Severus he believed had gone completely mad but Harry was starting to warm to the idea.
"You know I think you may be on to something." Harry finally said making Snape visibly relax as he thought Harry was about to reject him again. "I think we should."
When Dumbledore returned he was still sour faced and without the deputy head. He didn't seem prepared for what was coming. "Umm, we have an announcement to make."
"Another one, I highly doubt you could make many more." He said in an uncharacteristically unfriendly tone of voice. Harry wasn't sure what to think of this new Dumbledore, it was one he had never witnessed before and wasn't sure he liked this side of him that much.
"We wish to bond tomorrow morning and therefore I will not be returning until at least tomorrow evening." Severus informed him. "I wish to spend some time with my family as it is obvious I am needed here more than I am on the battle field."
"Fine, I will over see the proceedings tomorrow morning, I will also hold off the attack until the day after tomorrow as we will need your full support however I dare say that the bond between you will do no harm, as it seems that your children hold so much power that they can summon you all the way to Scotland from France."
Harry smiled proudly at his daughter in his arms and for good measure decided to hug the headmaster who after all had just giving them his blessings and despite how much Harry came to hate him sometimes he was still like the father he had never had.
Harry, Severus and Bonnie all headed back to their own rooms, it was very late and tomorrow they knew was going to be a busy day. Bonnie was already fast asleep on Harry's shoulder by the time they got back, she was soon settled in her cot peacefully, unaware of what her parents were doing in the next room.
The following morning Harry was a bundle of nerves, he had been up since the early hours pacing the living room and from about five thirty he had been accompanied by Bonnie who squealed in delight at the attention she was getting from her daddy.
Severus finally awoke and even from the bedroom could tell that his soon to be husband was a wreck, he slipped out of bed and found him feeding Bonnie in the living room. He approached them and encircled his arms around Harry's waist, kissing his neck while rubbing his belly.
"How are you this morning?" He asked knowing full well what was coming, it was a predictable answer.
"I don't know if I can do this, I look like a whale."
"You look gorgeous my darling, now why don't you go and shower and I'll finish up with Bonnie." Severus said while kissing and nibbling at Harry's neck lovingly, he was just as nervous about what the day would contain but he had enough self control to hide it.
"Are you not nervous at all?" Harry asked turning to face him.
Snape wiped away some of the green baby food that had been splattered on Harry's cheek and kissed him. "Of course I am, but I know that whatever happens today the only thing that matters is that I love you."
"And I look a mess." Harry said sounding a little pathetic. Sev could only smile and kiss him some more.
"You look as beautiful today as you did the first time I kissed you, even more so because you're carrying our second and third child inside of you."
"You're only saying that to make me feel better."
"For starters you are very beautiful even if you don't think that you are and secondly I hope it's working because we're getting married in a few hours time and I want you glowing, now go and get ready."
"Yes Sir." Harry said kissing him again and again. He felt himself relax as Severus held him close.
Wow, ok here's another chapter, I am very sorry if there aren't any more today but I have to go and see my friend who isn't feeling well and I hope you agree that Harry and Sev's bonding isn't as important as my friend is to me. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review. xxx
