Harry Potter started mowing the lawn after all the Duesleys wouldn't home for at least an hour (They always watched movies after school). So what was the point of cooking if the food was going to get cold. Harry loved being outdoors it gave him a sort of peace time since no liked being outside when indoors held the T.V. There was usually no traffic in the neighborhood but today a black beetle ( a type of car) decided to break that rule. It pulled in a house three doors down that used to have a for rent sign outside.
He thought nothing of it, but instead had more important things to worry about, namely Dudley's Gang. Harry had forgotten that Vernon and Petunia had to go out of town for business. Meanwhile Dudley was to left at a friend's house for "tea". All six members of their burly mob were in the process of surrounding Harry for their favorite game.
"Oh great"
Harry turned off the motor ( "as if he didn't waste our good money as it is") and took off. He had a head start since the muscles on his legs were very well developed. As for the search and destroy team, they had no muscles to speak of.
He tore off towards Mrs. Figg's backyard since he always did her yard and would able to fix the mess.
"Sorry Mrs.Figgs six madmen were after me, no, don't worry I'll fix it for free"
That sounded silly even in his head. The gang were catching up as he crossed into another's neighbor's yard. Harry was useless in a long run, normally they would have given up by now but the gang pushed on. When he got to the 3rd yard's fence he jumped it. Landing perfectly, on the other side, on a prized garden bush much to the displeasure of the house's new resident.

Severus Snape was looking forward his new house, for the last few months he had to stay in a pink and purple apartment that was being out by a muggle. So of course he was not alouded to perform magic. He was told by the Minstery of magic in the Department of Zoning, Building codes and Yard sales that this area was zoned for magic. He couldn't pack fast enough.
When he met the owner, he was waiting for an answer from another buyer. Snape couldn't take it. He promptly handed the short man in cash double the worth of the house. The muggle was so happy that he gave Severus the deed to the house.
Now after school he was going to cast a bunch of pointless spells to remind himself that he was a wizard.
Detention with Potter had lifted his spirits, so he decided to plant his prized flower bush. It was the only thing that kept his sanity and truly the only thing he loved.
As soon as he was done planting it, a short and familiar child landed on it as though, the muggle had planed it. Imagine his surprise when the child started fixing it.
"I'm so sorry sir"
"The little brat, it's the only thing that I have left of her"
"I'm so in for it now"
Snape could only open and close his mouth like a fish.
" Is this payback for becoming a Death Eater?"
" Can I ever have a good day?"
Harry was half done fixing the bush, but anyone with an eye could tell it had been trashed. Snape turned around the boy to give him the scare of his life. Then he saw her eyes. Memories that he had rejected long ago refaced.
Harry was scared, his sub had holding on to him for a few minutes now. The teacher's strong grip didn't change and his expressionless face had for the whole time looked into his eyes. Suddenly he was taken into a world of peace and beauty.

"Severus for once can't you loosen up" Lily said while walking around the Hogwarts Rose garden.
"I admit that the sight of so many pinks and lavenders unsettles me" He replied.
She then laughed, her laughter never hurt him, it only fed his soul.
" How about yellows?" She pointed out, Lily had been so full of life, living gave her strength to go on.
"Never" Instead Severus' day to day issues had drained him of his fair share of happiness.
He walked around until he found the perfect flower. He plucked it gently wanting nothing to spoil this day.
"But white I can live with" He said putting the white lily in her hair.
She giggled.
"Oh look, now it won't last long" she pouted playfully.
"Sviluppisi..nel..cespuglio" Severus stuttered.
Lily got out of the way of the spell, the green light headed into the ants behind her.
They turned into an ant bush. Lily shook her head.
"You have to get the flower out of my hair first silly" she admonished.
For the 3rd and last time in his life Severus blushed.
She put the flower on the floor and took his hand.
"Lets do this together" she said. There lay the most perfect thing in the world because it had been created by her.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Harry was shoved out of Snape's mind. He wasn't sure it was a good thing because the sub looked like he wanted to murder Harry.
Wow I had no idea what I was going to do for this chapter but this came out. I'm sorry for those of you who wanted Snape's thoughts and Harry's at the same time. It was very hard to do for this chapter. On another note I have run out of ideas. So I would welcome new ones. Crazy Person signing off.
