Severus walked into St. Mungos Children's Ward to see kids all over with their parents. He noted that James and Sirius both had spawn with them. He walked over to a desk and checked in then he went and sat down with Harry. Harry looked around and clung to his daddy.
"It's okay." Severus told his son. He set him on the floor and un packed Harry's blocks. Harry was instantly playing with them. Severus watched some of the other parents were suddenly whispering about him.
Severus sat back sighing he hated people as much as his son did.
"Hey, Sniv." James said, walking over with his son. A woman followed. "How's your kid doing?"
"He's fine, Potter." Severus' eyes never left his son. "What do you want?"
"I was wondering if you'd let Jr and Corvus play with Harry."
Severus looked up eyes going straight to the Potter spawn who seemed to be staring at Harry. Then at the baby Sirius had it was pulling at it's own hair and kicking.
"Harry?" Harry looked up. "Do you want to play with the other babies?" Severus pointed to the two babies . Harry looked at them then shook his head and went back to his blocks. "He says no."
"My son doesn't respond like that." Sirius said , setting Corvus down. The boy quit kicking and pulling at his hair and crawled over to Harry. Harry frowned at the new creature. A second one joined them. " Play nice, Corvus."
Harry stared at the two intruders who stared back. He then went to building. One of the black haired creatures grabbed a block and put it on another then clapped. The other one did the same. Harry sighed, he guessed he could put up with them. They played for awhile while their parents sat there mostly ignoring each other.
One by one children began getting called back to see the Healer.
A block hit Harry in the head. Severus was on his feet with his son in arms. A little red haired boy had thrown it and was now pulling on Jr.
"WEASLEY!" Severus snapped, "Control your spawn! I will not put up with him throwing things at my son!"
"he's just a baby , Severus. " A plump red haired woman hugged, picking up her son. "Ronnie just wants to play with Jamie Jr. "
"Jr is playing with Harry." James said, "If your son is going to pick on him then he can just stay on the other side of the room!" James was looking at a bruise on Jr's arm. "Ronnie hurt Jr! Get him out of my sight!"
Jr. was crying.
"Hold him still." Severus said, pulling his wand out. "Just do it." James looked wary but did. Severus cast a healing spell healing the boy's arm. Jr. calmed to sniffles. "I had to take Healing to get my Potion's Mastery. "
"Thanks, Snape." James said, sighing in relief. "How's Corvus?"
"Corv is just fine." Sirius shrugged, he set his son back down. "How's Harry?"
"The blocks are foam. " Severus said, setting Harry back down. " They are Muggle toys. Safe for babies they can't hurt them. Lily bought them for him when his normal blocks gave him a black eye. "
James put Jr back down. The three went back to playing. Jr still sniffling a bit. Harry handed him a block and patted his cheek then went back to building. Corvus copied him only he gave Jr. a hug. Jr. smiled happily and went back to building.
"Look they're already friends." Sirius' girlfriend Marlene said, though a little stiffly.
"Oh, yes isn't it nice?" Mary McDonald said, just as stiffly . She was James' wife. She watched her son carefully. She still thought Snape was a dark wizard.
"Oh, joy." Severus drawled, "I'm cursed."
James and Sirius laughed.
"Well, we should set up play dates!" Sirius said, suddenly. "Yeah, it'd be great."
"I don't think so." Severus told them, "I told you before Harry doesn't like strangers. This is not normal for him!"
"Come on, Snape!" Sirius hit Severus playfully on the back forcing him forward a bit. "Harry's taken to Corvus and Jr really well . It's like they are meant to be friends."
"Merlin help me..." Severus suddenly jolted . Harry was starting to fuss. He scooped him up. "It's okay, Harry. I know you don't like this place but it'll be over soon. " Harry fused silently . "Is your mouth hurting again?" Severus got the gel out and put it on his son's gums. Harry kept fussing he wanted to go home. "It's okay, Harry. Shhh... it's okay." He walked over to the desk. "Excuse me can you tell me how much longer it's going to be ? My son doesn't like his schedule to be different and he's really getting upset. "
"I'm sorry, Lord Snape, " the woman said, glancing worriedly at the boy. "But there are four families in front of you."
Severus looked around the Weasley's, Potter's, Black's and Malfoy's were left. He bit his cheek but nodded and went back to his seat. He continued to try and calm Harry.
"Doesn't he have a toy that he carries around to calm him?" Marlene snipped, " Corvus never leaves the house with out his teddy. "
"Shhhhhh..." Severus had Harry on his shoulder rubbing his back. "It's okay. "
"How do you he's not hungry?" Mary wondered, "and why is he so quiet?"
"I don't know why he's always so quiet." Severus said, " but I just know he's not hungry. He's upset. You did so well today , Harry. Daddy's proud of you. " Harry just kept fussing.
"Lord Black." A Healer called. Narcissa Malfoy frowned deeply at the title . "It's your turn."
"Take Snape first." Sirius said, "His kids really upset."
"Very well."
"Thank you, Black."
Severus carried Harry off and to the Healer. He left the blocks for now.
