It was the last day of term. Harry was packing the last of his stuff and laughing with Teddy when Lily ran into the room. "Are you two not done yet?" she asked.

"Sorry Lil but not all of us pack with a week to go," Teddy retorted.

"Don't use that tone with me Theodore," Lily said glaring at Teddy playfully.

"Oh burn," Harry whispered.

"Can it Potter," Teddy growled.

"Make me," Harry smirked and dodged as Teddy went to pounce on him.

"Boys," Lily sighed.

"What about us?" Harry asked as he flung a pair of boxers into his trunk.

"Nothing," Lily huffed. Harry smirked and flung a pair of Teddy's boxers at her head. Lily squealed and glared at Harry who was howling with laughter. "Aguamenti!" Lily shouted soaking Harry who stopped laughing and started spluttering.

"HAY!" he cried and sneezed.

"What is going on in here?" a voice of Remus Lupin asked as he opened the door. He raised his eyebrow at the sight before him. Harry was on his bed soaked to the skin, Teddy was on the floor face down and Lily had her wand pointing at Harry with a pair of Teddy's boxers hanging from her head. "Do I want to know?" he asked.

"Remmie!" Teddy cried from the floor.

"Yes Teddy?" Remus asked.

"Help me up," Teddy said splaying his arms out to either side of him. Remus rolled his eyes and hoisted his brother to his feet. "Thanks bro," Teddy smiled and grabbed the boxers off of Lily's head and through them in his trunk.

Later Harry was boarding the train with Lily, Severus and Teddy. He still had yet to talk to his brother or Sirius and was really not looking forward to it. "So what you guys got planned for the summer?" Harry asked.

"Nothing," Lily said shrugging.

"Probably come 'round yours at some point," Teddy replied shrugging. Harry nodded and noticed the silence surrounding Severus, he of course knew why. Now Harry new how to change at least his future.

When Harry arrived home he told his parents about Severus and they owled the Ministry. Soon Severus had arrived at the mansion with his mother and his father had been arrested. "Thank you Harry," Severus whispered knowing it had been Harry who had told his parents.

"No problem," Harry whispered back.

"Of course you can stay here for as long as you need Eileen," Mrs Potter smiled.

"Thank you. But we'll be moving back to our house once Tobias has been given his sentence," Eileen smiled.

Sirius and James sat at the dinner table and noticed that Snape was sat there with his mum. "What are you doing here Snape?" James asked.

"My mother and I are staying here for a few weeks," Severus replied.

"Why?" James asked.

"Don't push them James," Mrs Potter warned as she served dinner. James slumped back in his chair with his arms folded.

"And don't slouch," Mr Potter said. Harry then ran in the room with Remus and Teddy.

"Oh hello you two. Just in time for dinner," Mrs Potter smiled.

"Mum is it OK if Lily comes over next week?" Harry asked.

"Of course dear," Mrs Potter smiled and kissed her youngest on the forehead. Harry smiled and went back to his dinner whilst talking to Teddy and Severus. Harry saw that James was smiling now while talking to Sirius and Remus and that made Harry smile even more, he always wanted to see how his father acted with his friends when he had found out that Remus had been one of his friends.

A week later Lily Evans was stood in the fireplace of the Potter Mansion with Harry. "Lily!" Teddy and Severus cried.

"TEDDY! SEVVY!" Lily cried hugging them both and then hitting Severus. "YOU SEVERUS SNAPE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE! A WEEK! A BLOODY WEEK! I WAITED FOR YOU TO OWL ME AFTER I SAW YOUR DAD TAKEN AWAY!"

"OW! Lily I'm sorry!" Severus cried. Lily stopped hitting him and pulled him into a hug.

"I thought something terrible had happened," Lily whispered.

"I'm so sorry Lily," Severus whispered. Harry smiled at his mother and her best friend, it was so different now and Harry hopped to keep it that way. Of course Harry had to make sure that James and Lily got together but he was determined to find someone for Severus to love. Even if it killed him.
