Alia: So it's been a couple weeks since I edited this bad boy. I haven't forgotten about it like I did my Quizilla account, but I was stumbling a bit for a moment to write the next part. I'm still ahead of you guys.

I thought it would be nice to go ahead and update now that all the drama is over and I have some quiet time. I'm working on my snippets and it's coming along fine. I plan to revamp my website (because it's just plain ugly) and put up a couple of fics that I've been working on (mostly YGO, GW, and HP). So be patient. It'll be a while before you get another one of these.

Also, I posted this because I really wanted to ask everyone a question. It was in a review so I thought I'd ask.

Do you guys want this to be an mpreg? I didn't really have plans on an actual pregnancy (I still didn't know if the guys should even have a kid in their lives) but I had an idea and it would fit in rather well (well according to the title of this story anyway). So should I?

Anyway, enjoy! It's short of course and the next won't be much longer, but you finally get to see the Slytherins and the talk between Albus and Harry. I hope I didn't screw that up.

Remember to review!

Author's notes: This is just a silly little story. I don't even know why I'm writing it. I think it may be one of those feel good stories. NO SAP. It makes me sick to my stomach. Ah well. Here goes.

Expecting the Absolute Weirdest

Severus waited patiently as his Slytherins took their seats. The older students made certain to either stand in the back or have seats. The younger students sat on the floor facing Severus and the fireplace the potions master stood beside.

He had finished the speech he gave his snakes every year but decided it was finally time.

"I decided that you should know before the rest of the other houses learned of this." Severus saw the curious looks on the younger students and the hidden concern of the sixth and seventh years. "As my House, you have the right to know before anyone but the other professors. I will also trust that you will keep this information in-House. The last thing I need is the Gryffindors sneaking into the dungeons because of inconvenient curiosity."

As Severus walked to the Slytherin dorm entrance, many of his students exchanged confused looks behind his back. The potions master was obviously in good health and was still employed at Hogwarts. They didn't understand what Snape's secret was.

One of the older boys shrugged. They would just have to wait and see.

Everyone watched closely as Severus opened the entrance and whispered softly outside. The professor then stepped back to allow a man in white robes to enter. The two adults walked side by side to the fireplace.

One of the younger girls shivered as Alexius walked past her. The man was younger than Professor Snape and rather good looking, but his presence...unsettled her. Something about the man was different than it was with other wizards.

Severus and Alex exchanged a look before Alex nodded with a small smile. Severus turned to his students. "This summer, I made a rather..." Severus trailed trying to describe his decision.

"Extremely important?" Alex offered with a smirk.

"You are not that special," Severus replied coolly, not turning away from his students. He knew Alex was amused and Severus caught a few smirks and grins from his students. "I made a decision to marry this summer."

Most of the younger boys looked gobsmacked, a few older boys had dropped jaws, and a majority of the girls looked happily surprised.

"As I'm sure you can deduce, this," Severus motioned toward Alex. His husband nodded respectfully to the students. "Is my husband, Alexius Agathon."

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Severus has told me all of your dirty little secrets." A glare met Alex when he turned to his husband.

Alex stood silently in the Astronomy Tower, staring out the window at the starless sky. He'd been standing in the same spot for the last hour, shifting from time to time but never moving from one area.

"Alex?"

"Yes, Albus?" he said softly, acknowledging the Headmaster but not turning to face him.

"Are you alright, my boy?" Dumbledore walked forward to stand beside Alex.

Still not looking at the old man, Alex smiled tightly. "I'm fine, Albus. I'm...just not very excited about leaving tomorrow morning."

"Ah. You will miss Severus?"

There was a solemn look on his face. "I suppose so."

Albus paused, curious at the response. "You love him."

"I care for him a great deal."

"Caring is one thing, Alex, but love is something else. You do love him don't you? You would not have married him otherwise."

"Albus," Alex hissed in a suddenly sharp tone. "Our marriage is none of your business."

"I will not have Severus hurt again, Alexius." The Headmaster was surprised at the sudden anger in Alex's voice. He had never expected the man to be short tempered at all, especially the way he put up with Severus's caustic commentary.

"He is not your son, Dumbledore. He is, however, my husband." Alex closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He quickly raised a hand to prevent Dumbledore from speaking. "You misinterpret me, Albus."

"First, I want you to listen." He finally turned to Albus. "Don't interfere. I know how manipulative you can be no matter how well meaning it is. You interfered with Severus's former relationship. Not anymore. Don't get involved in this. Whatever happens will always be between Severus and I. Only us Albus."

Alex sighed violently. "I can't give you what you want, Headmaster. I can't say it. I can't tell you in those words how much I care for Severus, but know that he won't come to harm by me, Albus Dumbledore."

"Harry Potter told me the same thing."

"Do not compare me with that little fool. He'll pay for his decision sooner or later." Alex smirked. "But it turned out well for me. I'm not giving up Severus."

Albus watched the younger wizard. "Even if it means that children might not be in the equation?"

Alex nearly snarled. "Didn't I tell you not to compare me with that bastard? Just because we can't have children doesn't mean that I'll leave Severus." He stiffened. "Besides, I don't want children. I don't think I ever will."

"Hmm." Albus didn't really question Alexius' feelings toward Severus. He had seen the way he looked at Severus and how they interacted. They were different than what Severus and Harry had been. They were closer than the former couple could have ever been. "You do love him."

"You know I told my ex wife those words in order to describe how I felt about her. Severus actually told Potter the same thing. Don't taint what we have by using those words."

Dumbledore actually smiled at the anger in Alex's voice. He laid a hand on Alex's shoulder. "Thank you. You've made him happy, Alex and it's good to know that both of you 'care' for each other."

Alex shot Dumbledore a dark look, which Albus ignored. The older wizard did paused because he'd felt something odd from Alex. Then shaking his head, he continued.

"As I said, you would not have married him otherwise."

Alex froze for a moment then a smirk slipped onto his face. "Oh?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "Are you so sure of the reason we married?"

Nodding at the surprised look on Dumbledore's face, Alex turned and walked back to the dungeons. He wanted to spend the rest of his time at Hogwarts with his husband.

"Did you ever tell him?"

"That I loved him?" He snorted. "No. Not after all the experiences I've had with the word."

The other man nodded with complete understanding.

"Did you tell your lover?"

"A few times. When he desperately wanted me to say it."
