A/N: I stuck to most of DH, a few things may switch now, that's why its AU. Theres a few Lizzie related One-Shots. Told from Harry's POV, Olivers POV and one from Rons. Enjoy.
"Come in!" I call hearing a knock on the dorm door. It felt nice to be up in my own room, the castle was home to quite a few people at the moment but mostly only students were sticking around while the funerals were going on. I look up and see my brother push his way through the door taking a look around.
"You know, I've never been up here."
"Did you have a sex change cause the stairs are suppose to prevent that?" I counter pretending that I couldn't see the broom in his hand. Harry rolls his eyes and crosses the room sitting down on the bed beside me. "If you're finished, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a brother and checking on your well being. Are you okay? I know today was hard."
I shrug as an answer leaning my head down on his shoulder, "It was as hard as I expected".
"Severus Snape was a name that made most students at Hogwarts cringe. He was the moody Potions Master, and eventually Defense Against the Dark Arts, the Professor who made us all dread going to class. All that aside though he was also many other things, a hero and a father. For almost seventeen years Severus Snape has been my guardian and for almost seventeen years I wasn't able to acknowledge that fact publicly."I pause hearing a few gasps and mummers through the audience. I had expected them wondered why the Boy-Who-Lived sister was speaking at the funeral of Severus Snape. Now they knew.
"Severus took me in the night that my parents died because my father James Potter wrote a joke letter saying in the event of my parents death I was to live with him. He probably didn't expect that letter to be taken seriously but it was, to be honest I could never be any happier. Severus wasn't the type to coddle me, even when I was a child but he did humor me at times. When Severus became a Professor I lived here at the castle during the year and grew up knowing that some day I would get to meet my twin brother. He took care of me the best he could, we had regular fights about boys and make up, my grades, how my performance and attitude in class left much to be desired at times.
I never really called him Dad, only if I wanted to get on his nerves or was feeling sentimental, we both knew he was more or less my father but it wasn't something we talked about. He was my father though, he took me in as his own. He was the one who was with me when I got my wand. He was the one who took care of me when I got Dragon Pox as a kid. He was the one who provided a home for me, set my curfew and explained to me exactly where babies came from. I loved my childhood and I wouldn't have changed it for the world.
Severus Snape was many things, a Death Eater, a member of the Order, a spy, Potions Master, but to me, to me he was a hero and a father."
"I missed you, you know that right?"
I snort, "Speaking of your life on the run..." I trail off pushing him away and delivering a smack to the back of his head. "You left camp and followed a Patronus! Are you crazy? You could have been killed you're lucky I was the one trying to find you and not some Death Eater!"
"Oi! Don't hit me! I knew it was you."
"Sure" I taunt messing up his hair, he bats my hand away trying to flatten it with a scowl on his face.
"I take it back, I didn't miss you"
"Completely fine, go live in a tent for another nine months, you'll appreciate me then."
"Not likely" Harry snorts making me laugh a bit. It felt nice to laugh after the funeral today, and the ones yesterday. I could feel the grief weighing me down but it wasn't nearly as suffocating as it once was.
"You met Teddy yesterday, yeah?" Harry asks, I nod giving a small smile in remembrance to the small little baby I had been introduce to yesterday. As his godmother no less, I didn't remember being asked to be a godmother but I couldn't be more thrilled.
"Yep, cute little guy. I can't wait to corrupt him."
Harry pushes my shoulder, my arms fly around as I almost fall off the bed and I glare up at him, a small smile tugging on my lips.
"That's my god-son!"
"You think you'll be a better influence? Yeah, right"
That alone was laughable, but then again Harry probably would be a better influence. I cross my legs again on the bed pushing my hair back out of my face. Now that the potions effects had been reversed I could actually see my natural appearance in the mirror. My hair needed to be cut, and I also apparently needed some sleep the bags were heavy under my eyes.
"We'll tell him all about them though right? Everything we know, all the stories we have?" I ask quietly, when I had seen little Teddy Lupin I had wanted to steal him away and raise him myself. Who are we kidding though, I can't take care of myself half the time.
"Of course, now change out of that dress and come get some food. Don't think I haven't noticed you haven't bee eating".
I suppress a grin this time, I was glad he was home.
