HELLO, Readers!

I am back for this story. Sorry it has taken so long. I've been writing my new stories and kind of forgot about these others ones especially with my new story SARAH MARIE CULLEN. I hope you read it. 15 REVIEWS FOR ONE CHAPTER! I AM A HAPPY WRITER! I will be taking into account the ideas you have given me. The stories that I've read so far that include the squid didn't have a name either so I thought I'd start my story like that. It was fun for me to do. I hope you all like the name I picked out. Just so you all know this starts with Harry's 3rd year of Hogwarts. I'm still debating on whether or not Sirius should already be free. I have set up a poll.

Thank you,

CHAPTER TWO: May I see her?

Harry glared at Severus as he sat next to him. Severus pointed to the bowl of porridge sitting on the table. He watched as Harry's look went from a glare to one of discuss.

"How is your backside this morning?"

"Still sore, able to sit at least. The shower helped a bit."

"I've got some salve for you, but only if you eat your porridge." Severus said as he pulled out a container from the inner pocket of his robes.

Harry eyed the container with envy as he slowly took a bit of the porridge to find that it tasted like cinnamon instead of the bland box taste. Eyes wide he looked at Severus.

"I didn't like porridge at your age either. Your grandmother would put cinnamon into it so that I'd actually eat it. I always ate it after that and then she allowed me some other foods that had been placed on the table." Severus said as an explanation once he caught Harry's look.

Harry quickly ate the rest of his breakfast. Severus handed the container to Harry. The teen looked at him

"You don't want it?"

"NO! I do. I just thought that you were gonna apply the salve to my butt." Harry said as he quickly took the container from his father.

"I could do that, but I've seen your backside enough already. You need to get changed. Albus has given us this week off. So we can get better acquainted."

"Since when does he care how I feel?" Harry said.

"Harry." Severus said as Harry started to remove his trousers and shorts.

"What? It's true."

Severus just sighed. He closed his eyes and took a large breath then let it out. He felt something heavy on his legs so he opened his eyes and looked down. Harry had placed the container of salve next to Severus and Harry was over his lap with his pinkish read bottom on display.

"I thought I told you I didn't want to see your backside again." Severus said as he gave Harry a light swat.

"I just thought since you are willing to give me something to take away the pain and soreness that you gave me in the first place then you can rub it on." Harry said.

Severus just shook his head. He applied another swat onto Harry's backside before grabbing the Salve once more and rubbing a generous amount on to Harry's sore cheeks. Once most of the color in Harry's backside was pale once again he put the salve away and told Harry to stand and right his clothes. Harry thanked him and did just that. Once Harry was sitting next to him once more, Severus sighed and looked at him.

"Harry, there is something I need to tell you."

"Yes, Sir?" Harry said.

"It's about your mother."

"Mum? She's dead. Just like James is."

"Harry, before Albus went to Godric's Hollow, I went. Albus advised me not to but I did anyways. I needed to see your mother one last time. Before they put her in her grave, along with James at the local Cemetery. Although James was indeed dead, I went to your nursery to find Lily. She wasn't moving, but when I held her too me crying she had a pulse."

"She's alive?"

"Let me finish, then if you have any questions I'll answer them as best as I can."

Harry nodded. Taking calming breathes, Severus moved continued.

"Your mother opened her eyes for a brief moment asking me to look after you. Her eyes started to close… I knew she wasn't dead. She had slipped into a coma. She hasn't woken yet. Only a select few know. She's in a special warded room at Saint Mungo's. Albus didn't want you to know till you knew about me being your father. I've known that you are mine since I found out at Gringotts. I went to the family Vault for the Snape and Prince Family and found a letter from Lily that she had placed there.

"You see, Harry, before you were born your mother and I were together, even married for a short time. After we heard that the Dark Lord was coming after you I didn't know what to do. Albus suggested that Lily be with James and then go into hiding. That only the secret keeper would know the place. Lily would write letters to me telling me that James was treating her like she really was his wife and she was happy. A few months after they were settled and Lily wrote to me telling me that she was pregnant. I thought that you could have been mine but she told me that it wasn't possible. Harry, after reading the letter your mother left me, I found out that she knew long before she went into hiding with James. She asked that if anything happened to her, that I would look after you while you were living with Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, your godfather. I was so mad at James and for a time I was made at Lily as well. After a while I told myself that Lily knew what was best for you. She also asked that I didn't say anything to you till you got your letter."

"Is she alive, Sir?"

"Yes, like I said earlier, she's in a coma and is current at Saint Mungo's Hospital. She's in a specially warded room that Neville Longbottom's parents are in."

Harry sat quietly for a while. Severus waited for Harry. Letting him take in all that he had said. After a half hour of just sitting there Harry looked up at Severus and asked him this.

"May I see her?"

Thank you once again for your time and patience on my stories. I hope to have at least a few updates on all my stories before the end of June. Please if you have any ideas for me let me knew. I am always open to new ideas as I write my stories.

There is a poll up for this story on what I should do with Sirius Black. Please let me know what you would be interested in.

As always, Read and Review.
