Chapter 4

From there they went to a small shop that sold baby things. Severus bought dippers, bottles and all things Harry would need. He went to pay for that stuff when he noticed that all women looked strangely at him. He scowled at them until they averted their looking elsewhere.

Then they went to buy Harry's clothes. They were helped by one of the workers there. Severus wanted to buy all black clothing but the woman who helped him didn't agree with that and gave him other colors as well. Eventually, he agreed to buy a rather colorful attire, but he stopped her when she started adding bright yellow and green clothes. Harry signed in relief, he didn't want to look like an idiot. He was satisfied with some black, green and blue clothing thouhg. Severus refused red because that was a Gryffindor color and Harry was fine with that because he thought that red went horrible with his eyes. Eventually, they finished and after Severus paid for all stuff they had choosen they apparated back to Hogwarts.

Severus carried Harry back to his quarters where he placed Harry on the couch while he went to inspect the child's new bedroom. He found the room already decorated and furnished. Severus was pleased to see that the room wasn't the bright red he expected. It was midnight blue with the stars at the ceiling. The room had a wardrobe, a crib, a toy chest and a changing table. Severus nodded his head very pleased. He placed all of Harry's clothing except one blue outfit in the wardrobe. He went to get Harry, bathed him and dressed him in the blue outfit. Severus had to admit that Harry looked very cute in that. He went back to the living room and started thinking about Harry's name and their relationship.

"Well kid, what do you think? Should I be your father or your uncle?" he thought out loud.

"Da, da!" Harry clapped his hands. He wanted to see how that would end. And, as he had a particular bad relationship with his uncle, he didn't want to repeat that with Severus.

Severus heard him and looked at him carefully.

"Well then, you can also help me chose your new name. What do you think?"

Harry giggled at him.

"What about Sophien?"

Harry made a face at that name.

"It doesn't fit you, does it? Well, what about a name similar to your own? Maybe Harold?"

Harry disagreed.

"Well, what about Harrisson?"

Harry pouted at that.

"No? And what do you think about Hadrian?"

Harry thought about it for a few minutes and then nodded his head.

"Well that was easier then I thought! Now, what about your second name?"

Harry heard him and thought about that. He wanted the connection with his godfather and as Sirius's name was Sirius Orion Black he had to choose some of that.

"Oron!" he said and clapped his hands.

"What do you mean Oron? What kind of name is that?"

Harry made a face and repeated.

"Oron!"

"You mean Orion?" Severus asked him.

Harry nodded his head enthusiastically.

"Well, it's settled then. Your new name is Hadrian Orion Snape. Let's tell the headmaster!" Severus said, picked Harry and carried him to the headmaster's office.

When they arrived there Severus knocked at the door.

"Enter Severus!"

"How did you know it was me, sir?"

"You are only one in the castle beside me. Everybody else went on their own vacations."

"Oh, fine. Headmster, I choose his name."

"Really Severus? Well, let's hear it!"

"It's Hadrian Orion Snape. And I chose to be his father."

"Excellent. I'll do the papers so it will become legal. You can go back to your quarters. I will call you when I finish all the paperwork!"

Severus said goodbye to the headmaster and went back to his quarters. He placed Harry on the floor of his bedroom and went to the living room to read for a little while leaving the door between the two rooms open.

At that moment, Harry was starting to feel very hungry. He hasn't eaten since dinner last night so he crawled to Severus and reached for him.

"Foo!" he demanded.

"What do you want now?" annoyed Severus asked him.

"Foo!" Harry repeated.

"What do you mean, foo?" Now confused Severus asked.

Harry took his arm and showed him to the kitchen.

"Ah, food. OK, I guess you're hungry. Let's ho, then!"

Severus picked Harry and went to his kitchen. He prepared him the bottle of milk since he didn't know what other food children his age ate. He gave the bottle to Harry and went back to reading while Harry happily ate his food beside him.
