If you have a problem deal with it. Jk xD i knew that these bands might not have been around but eh lets pretend they were and if you don't agree, well, don't read -.-

The day started off great, although Jessica had missed breakfast, she was content. Her morning classes had gone as expected and she couldn't wait for the arrival of her son. Although Trina Riddle had given her an especially difficult time, nothing could dampen her spirits, until lunch came along.

Severus had missed his opportunity with Jessica this morning during breakfast because she was not there. So he thought he'd speak with her during lunch. When lunch arrived, he watched her walk into the hall, looking giddy. That was the word to describe her, giddy. A silly word but descriptive nonetheless.

Jessica sat down in her normal seat next to Severus and couldn't stop smiling. She turned to him and said hello, expecting a friendly hello back she kept looking at him, like an idiot.

" Do you need something?" Severus asked snidely.

" Well excuse me! I would like a hello Jessica how has your day so far?" She responded.

" Well your hopes shall be dashed unfortunately because you won't received that of me."

" Oh well, aren't you in a pleasant mood today?"

" Yes well, you forgot this in the library last night."

Jessica looked at him questioningly then looked down to his hands where he held out the picture. " Oh, thank you. Levi never would have let me live it down if he found out I'd lost this." She said.

" Is that his name?"

" Yes."

" Imagine what he would say when he found out that the woman he was courting was trying to cheat on him, with someone like me!"

Jessica raised her eyebrows and tried not to laugh. " Yes, imagine. But uh, there's something wrong with that speculation of yours."

" Oh yeah what is it?"

Just as soon as Jessica was about to respond, someone's voice interfered.

" Mom!" Levi called out to Jessica. It had been but a few weeks and he was already missing her. True his friends had said he was a "pussy" as they so lightly put it, but she was the one he turned to and talking to his friends about his personal affairs was not at the top of his list. So yesterday he had sent her a letter, asking to come live with her and this morning he took a flight to England, only to be picked up by an escort and end up here.

Jessica looked over at Levi smiling. She stood up and walked as fast as she could over to him without causing a scene and gathered him in a hug. " Oh it's so great to see my little boy again," She said smiling. " I've missed you."

" I've missed you too mom, and uh I'm not a little boy." He responded.

" Yes thats right you're not."

Levi looked up at the head table and set his eyes on Severus Snape. " Is that..."

" Yes, it is."

" Does he..."

" Know? No. But don't fret, he will know."

" I hope so."

Jessica nodded and walked Levi over to the head table to introduce him to the rest of the staff. " Everyone, this is my son," She briefly looked directly at Severus then back at everyone else. " Levi. Levi this is the staff of Hogwarts. And this man, is Professor Dumbledore." She said looked directly at Albus.

" It is really a joy that you have decided to join us here Levi, I'm sure that you'll enjoy being in Slytherin house." Albus said.

Jessica's mouth fell open as well as Severus'. " Sl-Slytherin? He was already sorted, Albus?"

" Yes this morning. There isn't anything wrong is there?"

" No, of course not. I'll have Harry give him a tour of the castle and I'll ask one of the Slytherins to show him to his common room later on."

" Good," Dumbledore turned to Levi. " If you would like you can sit with us right now and eat or you can sit with you fellow house mates."

" I think I'll sit with my housemates sir. Thank you." Levi answered.

Jessica pointed him to the Slytherin table and he made his way as she sat back down.

Severus looked over the boy. He certainly was not 'normal'. He had two piercings on each ear, a spike coming out a little under his bottom lip, and two other spikes, one in each eyebrow. The way he dressed was 'abnormal' as well. He wore a black T-shirt that said " dazed and confused" on it and a pair of very baggy black trousers with chains coming out of everywhere. Not to mentions the various plastic bracelets on his arms. Did Jessica really have that little control over her own child? " Well...this was unexpected..."

" That shows you not to jump to conclusions Severus Snape." Jessica told him.

" So, when did you get married?"

" I didnt, he's a child out of wedlock. His father doesn't know he even exists though i wish it differently." Jessica told him while looking at Levi.

" Oh. Who's his father? I assume he was from Hogwarts, a Slytherin in fact?"

Jessica turned around to face him. " Yes, he is. He was the only man i was ever with and out of that came Levi. He's been a gift."

" Ah." Severus had realized what was going on. He now knew of Levi, not only be Jessica's hints but just by looking at him as well. " When were you planning on telling me?"

" I wasn't, not yet at least."

" Why not? Do you not think i have the right to know about my own child?"

" Yes, but I didnt want you to think that i was using him to win the bet we have going on."

" And him appearing out of no where today doesn't?"

" I didnt know he was going to come, you cant blame me."

" Does he know?"

" Yes, he's known since he was ten, when he first started asking about his father."

Severus looked at Levi and then back at Jessica. " He has your eyes."

" Are you going to go soft on me Severus Snape?"

" No, just stating the obvious. I'd best be careful if i were you."

" Why?"

" It seems like Miss. Riddle has been infatuated with him."

Jessica looked at the Slytherin table and noticed Trina looking at Levi intently. She really did have to be careful...

SO? Ok if you want a pic of Levi, IM me on my aim sn Dragonfly7205 and I'll show you it and let me tell you he is so cute xD
