Chapter 3: Severus and Lily talk and Harry says his first words
Severus Snape woke up at 6:00 am like he always did but this time it was different. He didn't open his eyes right away but he knew something was different. He just couldn't think what it was. Then it hit him. Lily. Lily was back. In his arms, where she belonged. His son. His son was laying in the crib that he had conjured up last night. He had a son. I'll have to talk to Lily.
He got up out of bed and looked at the little boy who was wide awake in his crib. He picked him up and Harry immidiately grasped onto his father's finger with his tiny little hands. Severus smiled and sighed. "Okay little man." he told his son who looked up at him when he heard his voice. "We are going to go make your mom some breakfast in bed. How does that sound?" Harry just smiled that smile that makes a father's heart melt to pieces.
It seemed like Harry wanted down, so Severus set him down and Harry held onto his finger as they walked slowly out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen. Severus picked him up once he got back to the kitchen set him down at the table. Severus got out the pan and was getting the eggs out of the fridge when he looked back to check on Harry and he wasn't there. Like any parent he panicked. Harry wasn't in the kitchen so he went into the living room and heard giggling coming from underneath the couch. He decided to play with Harry.
"Now where did that boy get to?" Severus asked in play curious. "Maybe he's under here?" Severus grabbed Harry underneath the couch and picked him up and started to tickle him. Harry just burst into a fit of giggles. "Come we have to fix mom breakfast." Harry grabbed onto his father's finger again with his tiny hand and followed him into the kitchen. Harry tried to escape many times while his father was making breakfast for Lily that morning but his father was too quick for him and every time he tried to escape his father would scoop him up and start to tickle him. Harry would just giggle.
Finally they were done cooking breakfast and took it to Lily. As soon as they entered the room Harry noticed his mom was awake and siting up in bed and let go of his father's finger and went to go sit on mommy.
"Good morning Harry." Lily smiled as she looked at her son. "How are we doing this morning?" Harry just smiled and held up his two thumbs to say he was doing great.
Severus watched the two interact for a moment and they looked perfect. They were perfect. They were his Lily and his beautiful son Harry. They were perfect. He walked up to them and set the tray in front of Lily. "Here's breakfast Lils." "Thank you Sev."
"Aren't you going to eat anything?" Lily asked both Severus and Harry.
"Me and my son ate in the kitchen. We decided to do a father-son breakfast. Isn't that right Harry?"
They both turned to look at Harry who just smiled and stuck his thumbs up again. Then he ran off to get a few toys from his crib that his father had put in for him last night and he started to play comfortably on the floor with them. Leaving mother and father to talk.
"He's beautiful." Severus whispered as he watched him for a moment.
"I know." Lily whispered back.
"Lily," Severus turned to look at her. "We need to talk."
Lily nodded. "Do you remember that night? That night you sent me away? That night you showed me the dark mark and told me we couldn't be together anymore because you didn't want Voldemort to hurt me?"
"Of course, I'll never forget that night." Severus told her. "What about it?"
"That was the night, I had just found out I was pregnant the night before. And I was going to tell you. Going to tell you, we were going to have a baby. And then when you told me you didn't want to see me anymore, I thought, I thought maybe you had heard me telling my best friend James that I was pregnant and you didn't want the baby. And then you told me why." she paused and looked into Severus' eyes. "You told me you had gotten the dark mark and didn't want me to get hurt. And I was mad. I'll admit I was mad. I told James about the pregnancy and he said he would help me out. He told me that since I was like a sister too him and he wanted this child to grow up with a father that he would help me out. He would be there for me. I couldn't pass that up. I needed a father for my precious baby boy." She turned her head and looked fondly at her son who was still playing quietly on the floor.
"I understand. But I want to know what happened. What happened last night." As if on cue the bird with the Daily Prophet flew in the window of the room.
"I don't want to talk about it. Read the Daily Prophet." Lily replied, "It will be front page news I'm sure."
Severus paid the owl for the Daily Prophet and took the newspaper from it's leg. This is what it read:
HARRY SNAPE IS- THE BOY-WHO-LIVED
Last night at apporximately 9 pm. at Godric's Hollow the home of the Potter's was invaded by none other then he-who-must-not-be-named. James Potter who had been taking care of little Harry while Lily was away visiting a friend was killed night by the dark lord's own curse. Peter Pettigrew is under arrest for the assisted murder of James Potter. We recieved information from Lily Potter this morning saying that despite popular belief Sirius Black was not the Secret Keeper. Peter Pettigrew who is now on the run is an amigus. He is on the run from the ministry for it turns out that he was the Potter's secret keeper. Harry we were also informed this morning is not the son of Lily and James Potter. He is the son of Lily Potter and Severus Snape. Lily told the Daily Prophet just this morning that on the day she went to tell Severus of the news of her being pregnant, he broke up with her for no reason at all. Last night at approximately nine pm he-who-must-not-be-named entered the Potter home and turned his wand upon James and James was killed instantly. But for some miraculous reason Harry survived. Instead of the curse killing him like it should have it rebounded upon its creator and killed him. Thought one Albus Dumbledore says that he-who-must-not-be-named is not dead and has just fled. These alligations are not to be believed. Albus Dumbledore may be the only wizard that he-who-must-not-be-named was ever afraid of but that doesn't mean Albus Dumbledore has not lost his marbles. Harry Snape is the only known person to have ever survived the killing curse. Thus giving him the name The-boy-who-lived.
"Did you really tell all of that to the Daily Prophet?" Severus looked at her in wonder.
"Yes," Lily smiled. "But believe me it was hard."
"That must be so hard on you Lils. Your best friend dies and a good friend betrays you all in one night." He looked at her with concern in his eyes.
"I'll live. Besides I'm not alone. I have you. I love you."
"I love you too Lils." Severus told her and then kissed her.
"Daddy!" Harry came running up to him and burried his face in his fathers stomach.
Severus was shocked that Harry called him Daddy. He wasn't expecting that. "What is it Harry?"
"Who's that?" Harry looked at Raymie who had suddenly appeared.
"That's just Raymie Harry. She's our house elf."
"Oh." Harry said knowingly. "We had a house elf at the other house right mommy?"
"Yes. Why don't you go play with Raymie?"
"Yes, Master Harry. Raymie would love to show master Harry around. Yes she would."
"K," Harry jumped off his father's lap and followed the house elf.
"He has never talked before. And did you here that? He called you daddy."
"I know." Severus whispered. "I know."
Okay guys. Tell me what you think about chapter 3. To tell you the honest truth I think this is my best chapter yet in this story. Please review. I love you guys.
