Chapter Seventeen - Playdate Gone Bad

Severus was currently pulling dirt and grass out of Harry's mouth out on the Quidditch pitch. Severus decided it would be best if Harry had his playdate outside on the Quidditch pitch as he was getting the child ready this morning. He just knew that the two Weasley children would ransack his chambers in a matter of minutes so this was the best option he could come up with.

It was a nice day out, not too sunny but also not too cloudy, a bit chilly so Harry had his sweater on. To Severus, it seemed like a perfect day in September.

He sat with Harry on the ground and waited for the two devils to show up, Harry was pulling out blades of grass and making a small pile beside him, Severus didn't even have a chance to stop Harry as the child ripped out a chunk of dirt and grass and shoved it into his mouth.

Severus quickly stood Harry up onto his feet, holding him upright as he scooped the dirt and grass out of Harry's mouth as the child cried.

"I know...that wasn't the smartest idea was it?" Severus commented as he grabbed Harry's cup from the diaper bag and helped the child to drink some of the juice.

"Spit it out," Severus told as he removed the cup from Harry's mouth.

Harry opened his mouth up as juice and dirt came falling out onto the ground.

"Alright, take some sips," Severus told as he held the cup back up to Harry's mouth.

"Get the taste out," Snape said as Harry took the cup and started to drink as Severus held him up.

Just then the two Weasley children came running up with Molly not far behind.

"Remember what we talked about!" Molly yelled out to Ron and Ginny as the two stopped at Harry and stared just as Molly made her way up.

"What happened here?" Molly asked but before Severus had a chance to explain Molly was already bending down and taking out her handkerchief, cleaning off the little bit of dirt that was left on the child's chin.

"You must be Harry," Molly spoke softly as she cleaned the tears off of Harry's cheeks.

Severus didn't bother to explain what happened as he sat Harry back down on the ground, with Molly having seven children of her own she probably already knew what happened.

"I want to play Quidditch," Ron spoke up, seeing the three big hoops that sat at each end of the pitch.

"We aren't here to play Quidditch, we are here to visit Harry. You remember what we talked about?" Molly questioned her children with both of them giving a small nod.

"Good, now sit down," Molly instructed.

Ron sat down next to his mother as Ginny sat down next to Harry as she continued to make googly eyes at him. It was no secret that Ginny was a big fan of the boy who lived. Not a day goes by when his name isn't brought up in the household.

Severus didn't speak as he emptied out the diaper back, play-doh, Quidditch balls along with a bunch of other toys laid out on the grass.

"Those are baby toys," Ron complained.

"Ronald!" Molly warned.

Harry wasn't too keen on having the other people there as he moved closer to his daddy, and away from the girl who kept on looking at him.

Harry reached forward and grabbed one of the containers of play-doh.

Ginny's eyes widened a little when Harry leaned forward, catching sight of the diaper that was rising up just above his wristband, looking over at her mother who was giving her a stern look.

"...I still wet the bed sometimes," Ginny announced to everyone.

This time Severus' eyes widened at the unexpected confession the girl just made, looking over at Molly who was smiling.

The rest of the playdate didn't go so well, it all started when Ginny took one of the containers of play-doh, with Harry taking the play-doh away and hitting her.

Severus was quick to discipline, putting Harry into timeout but that only led to a severe meltdown, severe enough that Severus sent Molly and her children home. He should have known that Harry wasn't ready for a playdate.

Severus spent the rest of the day with Harry in the child's sensory room, setting the child on his beanbag chair as he played soft music and cast bubble charms out of his wand.
