Severus:
After Sapphira had eaten he sent her off to bed. Partially because he needed to think about things Severus couldn't have a daughter… could he? It was a possibility but there was only one person he had been with that had hair like hers, but she only had a son…James Potter's son to be exact. Even if she was his, who was her mother? Maybe the oaf would tell him if he asked. No he couldn't ask that he wouldn't. Maybe Rubeus told her who her mother was. His best bet was to gain the girls trust and perhaps she would reveal if she knows her birth parents. He knew Hagrid knew something, after all he was speaking to her about it tomorrow… Maybe he can overhear it somehow? He sat contemplating things in silence before deciding to put it on hold for a bit as he went to visit Lily.
His heart thumped wildly reminding him he was just about to see Lily, she was on the other side of the portrait. He couldn't believe she was actually alive his breath was raggedy as he just thought about seeing her. He said the password softly and made his way into her living space "Lily…" he saw her auburn hair draped over the couch that faced the blazing fire but she didn't respond. Severus tried once more moving so she was fully in sight "Lil-" he cut himself short as he noticed her eyes were shut and breath even, a book teetering dangerously on the edge of her lap. Severus grabbed the blanket that was draped on the love seat and gently placed it over her, a soft smile on his face. She really was beautiful, just as he remembered he moved her book to the table and gently pushed a stray lock of that gorgeous auburn hair behind her ear as the floo activated. Albus stepped out and Severus pulled away quickly and smoothly "Headmaster?" The old coot had the audacity to smile at him with that knowing grin, the bastard. His eyes twinkled as he took in the scene, Severus was silent watching him waiting for him to say what he wanted and leave already. Albus looked to him the smile still plastered on his face, "Severus I'm glad to have caught you I meant to speak to you as well as Lily, but seeing as she is asleep maybe we can speak first. Care to come with me to my office to allow her rest?" He inwardly wanted to stay to watch over Lily but preferred not to explain why, so flooed with Albus to discuss this important issue. Albus wrote a note and handed it to a house elf with specific instructions to hand it to Lily Evans only when she was awake. The elf nodded profusely and disapparated with a soft pop leaving Severus alone with Albus. "Lemon drop?" The man offered. Severus denied it as he always did, he never understood why Albus always asked when the answer was always no. Albus plucked one delicately from the bowl and popped it in his mouth "Delicious." Severus sighed getting impatient "What is it you wish to discuss Albus? I have to do my rounds soon." The headmaster gave him that knowing smile once again before getting to the point "Severus I wanted to talk to you in regards to Lily, she is feeling a bit lonely and cooped up in her current predicament and as I recalled she was fairly good at potions and seeing as the pair of you were great friends as she still believes you too be, I thought perhaps she could be your Potions Assistant seeing as she has more knowledge than your average apprentice." Severus wasn't sure what to say, Lily as his assistant was a good fantasy but realistically wouldn't work. They would recognize her instantly after all he was fairly certain Harry had seen pictures of his mother. Petunia was not that cruel. Albus sensing Severus's confusion stated "She will obviously have to charm herself to appear different when in front of the students for now until we find a way to circumvent that although I am open to suggestions?" Severus was silent for a bit as he ran through possible scenarios in his head and then an idea came to mind "What if she didn't change her appearance and just simply stated that she was Lily Evans twin sister that was sickly as a child and you arranged for her to have a private tutor? That would help explain without her having to endure more changes and the children would suspect nothing and I surmise Petunia doesn't speak of her sister so Potter will not suspect anything." He watched the elderly headmaster as he looked pensive for a bit before stating "That could possibly work…" Albus stood contemplating things as Severus stood pondering other things and turned to face the door when he heard a soft knock and when Albus said "come in." The girl he was thinking of entered the room looking well rested and gave him a big smile "Hi Sev… and Headmaster." The old man walked over to her "Why hello Lily just the witch we were discussing." She looked to Severus confused and then back at the headmaster who was already offering her a "Lemon drop?" Lily nodded and took one and sat in the chair in front of the headmaster's desk. Severus hesitated but sat when the headmaster took his seat. Severus watched Lily as Dumbledore explained what they came up with. Her emotions went from happiness to confusion to acceptance. Lily then turned to face him with a smile Severus "Well we are going to be partners again Sev." His heart skipped a beat every time she looked at him that way. "Yes I suppose we are." Dumbledore cleared his throat reminding Severus that the loon was still there. "Thank you Severus that is all. I wish to speak to Lily alone if you don't mind." Severus hesitated before taking his leave not before saying "Goodbye Lily."
Lily:
her mind was reeling she had a son and not only a son she had Potter's Spawn. She had a kid with the enemy no wonder Severus was awkward when he first saw her, she married his worst enemy poor Sev. But Lily had a son, she had a beautiful boy and he was here at Hogwarts. Although Albus said she shouldn't tell him the truth, that didn't mean she couldn't get to know him. She smiled to herself her mind replaying what Dumbledore had said, she had a son and she vowed to learn more about it even if it was as his "Aunt."
