Chapter 2

October 30, 1981

Severus Snape

At Death Eater headquarters, Severus was Informed that the Dark Lord would be attacking Lily, and the family tomorrow. There was no way for him to inform them that their location had been given away by their secret keeper. He had asked for the location to be kept from him just in case the Dark Lord tried reading his mind while torturing him for the information not that he would give that information away but he wanted them safe just in case, he was not strong enough and gave it away by ancient.

So Severus did all he could think of and went to the Dark Lord and begged. Begging for him to save her, he had to save his wife. She was his reason for living; he knew she would never forgive him if something happened to Harry, or James but he cared way more about his wife at that moment. He already had to keep their marriage a secret. Let James tell the world about how Lily is his. Sharing her love between himself and James,Lily and James got to have a wonderful family living the Fairytale life, well apart from Voldermort hunting them, and what about him? He was stuck, kept hidden in the closet, ignored and not allowed to shower her with love and affection not allowed to have the fairytale ending. Not knowing who the Father of Harry was, had killed him inside as he was almost sure that Harry was not his. He wanted Harry to be his, wanted Lilly to just be his, he wanted the Happy Family that James got to have. Don't get him wrong though he appreciated that James was there, that he kept them safe he was his friend now after all. But he could not help but feel jealous seeing them together.

Voldermort

The Dark Lord did not make any promises he never would and even if he did why would he keep it? Even to his most trusted servant. Severus was just that, he was his most Trusted servant. He was also his Spy on that old Fool Dumbledore. So when he came falling on the floor laying at his feet begging him to Spare that woman, when he went after that wretched boy, he found himself asking, "What is she to you Severus? You're still carrying that flame from when you joined me all those years ago" he Joked kicking him in the stomach. "My Lord Potter stole her from me, I just want my revenge by taking her from him." Severus replied "Hummmm, well I'll see how I feel, I can not promise to spare her even if I can. But Severus if she comes in the way of my success i will Kill her. My rise to power is way more important than some Mudblood whore." Voldemort snarled at Severus while hitting him with a "Cursio " just because he felt like hurting the man.

Severus

As I make my way back to my bedroom in the dungeon I can't help but think about what had happened yesterday. The Dark Lord never made it back to headquarters after going after the Potters yesterday. I hope that they were all okay, hoping that they managed to over take him and that that was the reason that 'He' never got back. He did not want to think of any over reason why 'He' would not go back to his followers.

As I make my way to my bed I notice a letter laying on my bedside table with my name on it. It was written in Lily's handwriting. Taking a deep breath I open up the envelope and see a few different pieces of paper stuffed in. I see the handwritten note and pull that out first and read it while sitting on the sofa in the corner of my bedroom. With shaky hands I look at the letter and begin to read.

My dearest Severus, I hope that you are keeping safe. I miss you so badly I wish that we could be together right now. Harry is getting so Big and he has started to say a few words. Sirius got him a practice broom that he loves to fly around the house. Tough I get so anxious watching him fly around even if it's not that high. But it keeps him busy while we are stuck inside for the most part. I put a picture of Harry and me in the envelope for you so that you can see for yourself how big he is getting since the last pictures I sent you. We are doing well but it sucks being stuck in the house and unable to leave except for essentials. I took Harry for a check up with Pomfrey the overday… I asked her to do a paternity test on him… I know that we were all wondering who his dad actually is. I got the test results later that very same day.

Sev, he is ours, yours and mine to be exact. Honey he needs you, he needs his Daddy in his life. I've been showing him pictures of you but now I've replaced your name with Daddy instead of Severus. Since I feel that he has the right to know that you are his father.

I know it is hard to think of me or James not being around If something were to happen. But if that is the case and I cannot keep him safe anymore, because of this please you need to be the one to raise him Sev. If it's too dangerous for you to do it now has to be Sirius, till you can take him.

I take a Deep breath. I can't, I can't do this I think to myself… I'm over the moon that Harry is mine but I don't know anything about raising a child. I can't take care of him the way they could. "NO I cant think like this!" I say to myself rubbing the bridge of my nose. "I don't even know if they are even alive. If they are, I will raise him with Lily like a family. I'll put all this spying aside and my family comes first!" I say out loud vowing to Lily and Harry. I look back at the letter and continue reading.

I know what you are thinking Sev, and you will do fine, you will be an amazing Father. Even if James and I are no longer alive. All that matters is that Harry knows that he is loved, that you care for him and that no matter what, he can rely on you. Please Sev, Please take care of our baby.

I have placed a copy of our final will and testament in this envelope asell as all the documents about Harry's parentage. With his new Birth Certificate and his new last name as your last . He is now Harry Sebastian Snape. Your two favorite names you liked when we found out that he was a boy.

Now that I got over all that morbid stuff, I want you back home. I want you to stop this bullshit that you are doing. Your family needs you to be safe and sound. I know that I'm asking a lot from you Sev but I can't help but feel this way. Your safety means way more to me. James is happy for you by the way and he has no ill will against you for being Harry's Dad.

I love you with all my heart.

Lily.

I put the letter down back on the nightstand and grabbed the envelope again going through the rest of the paperwork, just as I pulled out Harry's birth Certificate The picture Lily spoke about fell out. I bend down to pick it up and look at my son. He looks so big I start to cry holding the picture of the two of them close to me.

Then all of a sudden my fireplace roars to life and Albus's voice calls through. "Severus I know that you just got back not even 30 min ago but I have news for you. Can you come to my Office?" Albus asked, his voice sounding off. I look back longley at my bed and then the picture of my family and put it back down on my bed. "Yes, I'll be right there." I draw out. Getting a handful of flu powder and flu to Albus's office.

Albus and Severus

Back in Albus's Office Severus is told about the demise of Lily and James. Severus is so distraught that he starts throwing things around in Albus's office. "What about Harry, Where is he? Is he Okay?" Severus Questions the old man with a voice that is broken. Albus looks at him in surprise not thinking that he would ask about the boy. "He is safe, Severus, he was mostly unharmed. Just a few minor cuts and bruises that Pomfrey took care of." Albus states looking at the man with a look of immense interest.

"He is here? Take me to him!" Severus says pulling Dumbeldore in by the collar of his robes. Albus looks at him with shock and distast. "You can not have the Boy Severus just because Lily is no longer here does not mean that that boy can be used as a replacement!" Albus roars at him, taking Severuse's hands off his robes.

"What are you on about you old fool? He is MINE! I have every right to him." Severus roars back at him, shoving Albus into his desk. "HE IS NOT YOURS!" Albus screams back "And as it stands he is no longer here.I have placed him with his only living family that he has left earlier today." Albus said back to the man. "Fine" Severus Replies walking out of Albus's office and making his way back out of the school wards.

Severus

"Stupid old fool, keeping my son from me." Severus mumbles to himself Apparite to Privet Drive to where he knows Petuna and her vile husband lives. Lily had dragged him along a few times to try and help mend their broken relationship a few years ago just after they got married. Broken and hurting all Severus can think about is how his son is doing and how the hell he will be able to raise him without Lily. He decides that he would mourn over Lily when he knows that Harry is safe and sound in his arms. They can mourn the loss of them together.

As I make my way closer to number 4, I can see a bundle of something laying on the doorstep of the house. Hoping that it's not Harry still out in the cold as Albus said that he had left him with them earlier that day. He would have been inside the house correct? Albus won't just drop him on doorstep and walk away without checking to see if he even got inside right? I think to myself but the dread is filling up my thoughts.

I'm now at the house walking up the driveway, when I hear a whimper and a muffled cry! The blankets start to move... "No" was all I could get out as I made a run up to the house. I finally reach the door and I can now see that this bundle of blacket actually had something inside. I bend down and pull the blankets open.

Nestled inside the fin blankets is a baby! Not just any baby, no it's my little boy! Without thinking,I grab my son and I can feel that he is freezing and has a slight blue tinge in his skin tone. I Apparite back to Hogwarts and rush back through the wards making my way back to my room while snuggling Harry under my overlayered to get him as close to my body as I can to get him back up to normal body temp. What in the name that is all good was Albus thinking? It's fuckig November! He is an infant! He can't fend for himself in these weather conditions. Was all I could think. I'll have to go and confront him once I know that Harry will be okay, and settle in.

When was his last feeding? I think to myself holding Harry tight against me while saying, "You gonna be okay Little Man Daddy is here now, Daddy has you." with tears in my eyes. I get to my quarters while muttering the same thing over and over to Harry. Once in my room I pull Harry out from under my jacket and unwrap him from his blankets so that I can have a better look at him.

Harry has warmed up a bit, but still not nearly as warm as he should be. His little lips were chattering. Harry rubs his eyes with his little fists, as if trying to clear his vision from the tears that are in the corners. I transfigured a set of parchment in some diapers, a shirt into warmer baby clothes and transfigure one of my socks into a warm baby blanket. I look at Harry and start to talk to him. "Daddy is gonna change you now Little man, so that you have a nice clean butt and then i'm going to put on warmer clothes for you okay Little man?" I tell him as he keeps staring at me trying to focus.

Once Harry is changed I lay him down on my bed and put the warm baby blanket around him and say, "Just stay right there little man, Daddy is just going to change as well, I'll be right back." I turn around and make my way to my dresser and pull out my warm pj's and quickly change into that. Then I turned back to him. Harry was still laying down on my bed just as I had left him. "Hey buddy Daddy is all done." I say to him, giving him a kiss on the head. " And look at that you look so much better!" I exclaim pulling him up from under the blankets and holding him on my hip making my way to the living room so go sit down with Harry. "Now let's get you something to eat. You must be so hungry." I said to him, Harry is holding onto my shirt so tight with his little hands. I'm so scared that I'll let him go.

"Pinki" I call out and a Hogwarts elf, who pops in. "Master Severus is called Pinki?" Pinki asked. "Yes, can you make me some warm soup, with bread and butter, with some fruit too and can you get me a glass of warm milk and a tea please, Pinki?" "Yes master Severus, I am getting it for you." Pinki exclaims and pop's back out. I move Harry away from my hip so that I can sit down on the couch with Harry on my lap. But asI try and move him, he starts to cry and calls out. "No, Daddy!" with tears running down his little cheeks.

"ShhhSssh it is okay my little man." I say rocking him in my arms. "I'm not going to leave you, I'm just going to sit down so that I can cuddle you better." I say to Harry and cuddle him into my chest while he sits on my lap, I look at him and place another kiss on his head. "Daddy is here, you are going to be okay, we are going to be okay." I mumble into his head of hair.

Not even 2 min after that, there was another pop and Pinki brinks the food and drinks over and puts it down on the coffee table in front of them. "Thank you Pinki." Severus replies. Before Pinki can pop away again. Severus transfigures the cup of milk into a bottle and feeds it to Harry while he starts to eat some of the soup and bread while leaving a good amount over for Harry to have after his bottle.
