Disclaimer: I own nothing...obviously.

Chapter 12: Rain

The two brats….as Severus called them had thankfully been taken by another family member form the father's side of the family so it was quiet.

Harry spent the next three days working on his homework and enjoying walks and activities with his aunt and grandparents. He didn't really see much of Professor Snape.

But today he could not go outside; for today it was raining steadily. Because of this he was bored stiff. Harry lay in an odd position in a chair in the sitting room and sighed. He was staring at a blank screen because the TV had nothing on and was bored.

"Shouldn't the television be on to watch it?" Minerva asked entering the room and sitting on the sofa across from him.

"There's nothing on," he sighed and turned his eyesight to her.

"Have you finished your homework?" she asked.

"Aunt Lis checked it all and said I'd get Os when I turned it back in," he answered.

"Os? Even in Transfiguration and Potions?" Minerva asked eyeing him.

"Uncle Severus was skeptical about it but had to admit it," Harry smirked.

After the tension with the girls was gone he found it very easy to call Snape his uncle…at least when he wasn't around.

Minerva nodded. "Then I guess you would be incredibly bored then?"

"You could say that," Harry nodded still upside down.

"How are you board games?" Minerva asked.

"Uh…what sort?" Harry asked curiously.

"When it rains we play games and eat junk food," Alisia said as she entered the room holding two big bowls of popcorn. She was followed by Albus and Severus. One was carrying sodas and board games; the other had boxes of pizza and a bowl of M and Ms.

Harry sat up and looked at the three. "Don't you guys have things to do?"

"It's still early in the summer. Work can wait…you deserve some family time," Severus said giving the smallest of smiles as he sat on the floor by Alisia. Harry grinned and sat in front of the small coffee table they had the board game on as well.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Three hours later.

"So-rry da-ddy," Alisia said in singsong as she landed on Albus and made he return to start. They were playing Sorry.

Albus' eyes narrowed and he looked between Minerva and Alisia.

"That's the fifth time…I think you too are staging a coup," he said.

"Why ever would we do that?" they asked in unison.

"Aha! Proof right there!" Albus shouted. The women smirked at each other and laughed as the game went on.

The little group continued playing for several hours as the rain continued pouring down. While he played Harry let his thoughts wonder on the people before him.

Look at them. Laughing and care free even now when they know Voldemort's back…it's like no matter what they try to make the best of it.

"That's disgusting!" Albus said aghast as he watched his only daughter feed her husband anchovy pizza.

"So says the man with lemon drops on his pizza," Severus quipped after swallowing his bite. "Why don't you just admit you're jealous my wife will feed me with her adorable little hands?"

Albus seemed to think on this and smiled charmingly at Minerva.

"My darling wife, May I have a bite of your pizza?" he asked sweetly.

"No," Minerva shook her head.

"Mummy can I have a bite of your pizza please?" Alisia asked.

"Yes you may," Minerva smiled and fed her daughter some pizza. Albus looked infuriated as the others all laughed.

Insanity I'm sure. Hermione and Ron would never believe it…if I stay here I wonder if they could come.

"Aunt Alisia…Uncle Severus," Harry asked breaking up the laugh fest.

"Yes Harry?" Alisia asked putting another piece of pizza on Harry's plate.

"If I stay here…can Ron and Hermione stay some time?" Harry asked quietly.

Severus and Alisia looked at her and Severus nodded before looking at Harry. "If they don't faint from the knowledge they can," he smirked.

Harry smiled and shook his head in exasperation before chomping down on his pizza again.

It was late at night and the floor was littered with food and paper plates. The large dog Brian was chewing on a pizza crust with his head in Alisia's lap. She absentmindedly scratched his head while looking at her hand.

The five were now playing five card stud with individually wrapped candies as poker chips.

"What's the bet again?" Minerva asked looking at her cards.

The elder men sighed in annoyance.

"4 pieces of dark chocolate to stay in mother," Alisia said kindly.

"Right….all right then I'm in," Minerva said putting in the candy.

"Last cards!" Severus called as he was the dealer.

"Two," Alisia replied. Severus gave her the cards. Alisia gave a Cheshire cat grin knowing she'd had good luck so far in the game.

"Three," said Harry. He had only one a hand or two.

"Four," Minerva replied handing Severus her cards. Everyone looked at her and smirked.

"One," Albus said egotistically; he ha done the most games so far. His large pile of candy was proof.

"Dealer takes two," Severus nodded.

"Time being short and all of us needing to rest before the hearing tomorrow….I bet it all," Albus said pushing his pile forward.

"I'm in," Severus nodded.

"Me too," Alisia added.

"Me three," Harry nodded pushing what he had in.

Minerva bit her lip and looked at everyone.

"Come on Minerva in or out," Severus said.

"All right I'm in," Minerva nodded.

"Moment of truth," Severus nodded, "Two pair kings and nines."

"Full house," Alisia answered.

"Four twos," Harry replied laying his cards on the table.

"Sorry children. Straight," Albus smirked. He laid down the cards and went to gather the candy when a slender hand touched his.

"Not so fast dear," Minerva smiled, "I do believe I won," she said laying down her cards revealing a Royal Flush!

Alisia laughed and clapped her hands and Severus shook his head in disbelief. Albus looked very upset he'd lost all the lemon drops.

Harry laughed and squeezed Minerva's shoulder lightly. "Great job grandma," he laughed.

"Thank you Harry dear," Minerva grinned, "Take what you like."

"Thanks," he smiled picking out a few pieces, "I think I'll get to bed."

"Night Harry," the adults chorused.

"Night everyone," Harry nodded as he kissed Minerva's head and went up to bed.

"He really isn't that bad after all," Severus sighed leaning against the couch.

"He's definitely a Dumbledore," Alisia sighed waving her wand as the room quickly righted itself. "I want our baby just like him."

"Maybe not," Severus shook his head, "I do not want any child of mine acting like James."

"Aw but James was so cute after Lily fixed him," Alisia pouted.

Severus looked up at her oddly and shook his head. "You worry me sometimes."

"I love you too," she laughed helping him up.

"Night mum and dad," she said kissing their heads.

"Night kids," Albus nodded helping his wife up.

The Snapes nodded and went up to bed followed by the Dumbledores. Both couples slept snuggled close to their deepest loves.
