~~~~~~November of 1979~~~~~~~

Severus Snape had graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry two summers ago, and now he had an apprenticeship under the famous Potions Master Christopher Alexander Hunter, who had developed the Contraceptive Potion, Skela-grow, and the Magical Replenishing Potion. He had been offered a spot in Lord Voldemort's ranks, but due to how he felt about one of the light side, Lily Potter ńee Evans, who was one of his best friends, and he had fallen in love with her, but she married his school age bully, James Potter. Severus still talked to Lily, in fact he was on his way to see her and James now, he had been invited to a little get together with all of their school friends. So people like Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Alice and Frank Longbottom.

He walked up to the fancy manor house Jame Potter had received from his parents when they were killed in a Death Eater raid. The house was very heavily warded, and only those keyed into the wards could get into the manor. As he walked into the doors, a cold wave of magic rippled down his body, which removed enchantments, and scanned for the Dark Mark. The wards around the Potter house were amazing, which was good cause he has heard from Lucius Malfoy that Voldemort was hunting the Potters down and that is why the parents of James had been killed. The Potters were a very old pure-blood family, who had a lot of power both politically and magically. It was rumored that the Potter line was directly descended from Godric Gryffindor.

Molly, the Potter's House-Elf showed Severus into the drawing room, were everyone was gathered around the coffee table. "Severus, come in! Have a drink, and come chat with us," James, surprisingly called out. After school James and himself had made up, and now were friends, but never would be as close as Lily and himself . "We found out that Voldemort is after us, and Lily is pregnant, so we decided that it is time to write a Will."

Sirius looked affronted, Severus nodded. "So we invited you guys to help us write the Will. We are naming two Godparents, Severus and Sirius, you guys are going to have to get along, because you two will be godparents," Lily announced.

Severus was very surprised, but it made sense. Sirius was James's best friend and he was Lily's. He smiled, of course he would be a godfather to Lily's child. "I will try to get along with the mutt then, because I want to do right by any child who's care I have been entrusted,"" Severus smirked at the mutt, who grinned back. They were friends but fought regularly.

"Thank you guy for trusting us with the are of your child, but hopefully you will still be here," Sirius thanked the two of them. Severus nodded in agreement. Both of them did not want their friends hurt.

"Albus Dumbledore will have no legal, magical, or emotional hold over our child, or children," Lily stated. Everyone in attendance nodded. "Anyone who needs it can live in Potter Manor, but we ask that our children be raised here, cause we have had portraits painted, so that when we die they will become active and we can get to know our child. Mooney, we have prepped a space in the basement where you can go to change once a month, and the closet is ever filling. Alice, Frank, you guys are the secondary guardians , after Severus and Sirius of course. Sev, we leave you all of my Potions research, and the state of the art lab in the basement."

Severus was one year into his apprenticeship, he was getting ready to finish the apprenticeship, which was apparently the fastest someone had completed the apprenticeship. He was just about to cook dinner, but his floo flared up, and James's voice came out of the fire. "Sev! We need you, you are trained in healing and Lily just went into labor! Come through the floo, and we will feed you," James yelled. Severus grabbed his medical bag, and his Potions bag and went through the floo, to be greeted by a nervous James Potter.

"Where is Lily?" Severus asked, and James led him to a small medical room in the manor. Lily was sitting there, clutching Sirius's hand. It was very obvious that she was in pain. "When did the contractions start?" He asked.

"About 20 minutes ago, there are about 7 minutes between each as of right now," Sirius answered, and he nodded.

"James take your wife's other hand, this is going to be a long night," he told the frightened trio. Between contractions the four of them talked, laughed, and complained. It was about two hours after he came when the contractions started to get longer and more frequent. Severus checked, and she was dilated about 5cm. "It is almost time to push, Lily. You need to be strong," he told her.

When she started pushing she screamed, "JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER, YOU ARE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!!!!" Despite his friend being in pain, Severus could not help but laugh to himself a bit.

"One more push Lily," Sev reassured Lily, and she complied. After about a minute of pushing she collapsed, and Sev stood up with a bundle in his arms. "Congratulations Lily and James Potter, you have a son." He placed the baby boy into Lily's arms, as she cooed her baby.

"Thank you Severus for coming, James would you like to hold him?" Lily asked, and James nodded. And Lily passed her son off to his father. "We have decided on a name, Harrison James Severus Potter."

He was in shock, Lily had named her son partly after him, Severus Tobias Snape. "Lily I am honored that you would include my name in the name of your first born son," he responded.

Severus collapsed on the ground at the news, Lily and James, his long time friends were dead, nd his godson was missing, and Sirius was in the Wizarding prison Azkaban, for a crime Sirius would never commit. Severus knew that he had to get a job, and in his spare time he would fine his godson Harrison James Severus Potter, if he had to die doing it. All because of a promise he made to Lily Potter, but he knew it would all be worth it in the grand scheme of things. He would get his godson back, if it was the last thing he would do.
