Chapter Five; One Big Happy Family

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron inquired.

"I think I know." Snape began. "Hold on, I'll be right back." He said as he turned around and walked down the hallway before gently wrapping his knuckles on his daughter's bedroom door. "Heather, it's Daddy. Can I please come in sweetheart?" he questioned.

"No! Go away!" she shouted back at him angrily while continuing to sob hysterically.

"Please honey, I really want to talk to you." He told her and when she didn't respond he slowly turned the doorknob and peered his head through the crack. "Please? I think we just need to work this whole thing out." He told her as a caught a glimpse of her sitting on the side of her bed and staring down at the carpet before she lifted her head back up and looked at him while tears continued pouring down her cheeks.

"No! I said go away!" she yelled. "Besides, why do you want to talk to me anyway!? You're never there for me anymore! And you're never around to listen to me anymore! I just don't think that you even care anymore!" she shouted as he opened the door some more and slowly entered the room while she covered her face with her hand and started sobbing inside of it. "You just don't want to!" she snapped.

"Of course I do." He told her before he sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her before he pulled her into his chest and gently started rubbing her shoulders around in small circles while planting a kiss on the top of her head. "I love you very much." He told her.

"Well it doesn't seem like it! Not only have you been neglecting me, Teddy, Tobey, and Eve, but you're trying to find somebody else to take Mummy's place!" she spat.

"What would ever give you an idea like that?" he asked her as he rested his chin down on the top of her head.

"Because you said that we needed a new mother." She told him while she started choking over her tears.

"Whoa, hold on a second darling. You need to calm down." He told her soothingly before he grabbed a tissue out of the Kleenex box and gave it to her so that she could blow her nose. "Just because I said that it would be a good idea if you had a new mummy, doesn't mean that I wanted you to forget your old one." He explained to her softly while he gazed down into her eyes.

"Do you understand? Your mummy will always be a part of your life because she'll always be inside your heart, and she'll always be up there in Heaven looking down on us and watching us. I could never replace your mother even if I tried." He told her with a shake of his head. "But I know for a fact that if she was here right now she would want us to get on with our lives. And since we have to get on with ours, we have to let Harry, Ron, and Hermione do the same with theirs." He told her unaware that all three of them had entered the room just as soon as he had said their names.

"No you don't." Hermione said as she sat down on the bed beside him while Harry and Ron sat down next to her. "We promised you that we would help you raise your children. And we never break a promise. I mean yeah sure we have our own lives to live but right now we're needed back here." She said as Ron nodded.

"As usual Hermione's right. You need us and we'll always come back whenever you do." He told her.

"Well thanks guys, I really appreciate it but are you sure?" Snape inquired.

"Most definitely." Harry told him as he nodded and grinned at him.

"Well, all I can say is that I am certainly a lucky man, a proud father, and a very grateful man to have friends like you in my life." Snape said as he wrapped an arm around Harry and Hermione before he turned over to look at Ron and grinned. "C'mon Weasley, get in here." He told him as he waved a hand at him and as a smirk grew a crossed Ron's face they all embraced in a group hug.

…

A couple days later it was Teddy's and Heather's real birthday and also the day that Tobey and Eve would be going back to Hogwarts with Hermione and their father. Neville and Luna agreed to watch the twins while they were away, and to take them to charm school and to the stables where there was now a beautiful black and white colt inside Harmony's stall. Eve had decided to name him BJ (Bolt Junior) because he had looked exactly like his father.

Luna was busy packing the twins their lunches for charm school while Tobey and Eve packed up their suitcases. "Daddy don't forget to sign my permission form to Hogsmeade." Eve reminded him as she handed him the paper. She had been looking forward (or rather dying) to go there all summer and there was no way that she would let him forget about it.

"I know, I won't don't worry. Right now I'm busy making sure that mine and Tobey's things are together." He told her as he grabbed Patrick's cage by the handle and heaved it towards the front door. Once Snape had everything that was his and his son's packed in the trunk of the car, Eve made sure that she had all of her things together and carried them outside while her cat Precious finished using the litterbox.

"Alright Precious, I know that you aren't going to like this and you're probably going to wind up hating me for it, but you need to get in your carrier now because my father will kill me if I end up missing my train to school." She told her as she bent down and unlatched the door before picking her up and placing her inside of it. Even though the cat tried scrambling out of her arms as fast as she could and Eve ended up getting kicked and scratched, she finally managed to get her inside of the carrier and quickly shut the door behind her.

"There, now c'mon you little rascal." She said as Precious started a round of pitiful meows while Eve carried her out to the car. Once Snape had all of her suitcases packed in the trunk of next to his and Tobey's, except for Precious who was stuck in the backseat, he signed her permission form and then bent down in front of the twin eight years old and embraced them tightly.

"Alright, I have to go now so I want you to on your best behavior and listen to Neville and Luna." He told them as he planted a kiss on each of their cheeks. "Happy birthday and I love you." He told them.

"I love you too Daddy." Heather said as she hugged him back and planted a kiss on his own cheek.

"Goodbye Teddy." Tobey said as he knelt down and gave his little brother a hug.

"See ya sis." Eve said while she hugged Heather goodbye and then Tobey and Eve switched to hug the other twin goodbye before they climbed into the car. Luna smiled as she and Neville stepped out the door and then they waved goodbye along with both of the twins as Snape pulled out of the driveway and drove away.

Next Time; It's a Harry Snape and a Back to The Future crossover when Harry, Neville, Luna, and the twins Teddy and Heather meet up with Doc Emmet Brown and Marty Mcfly and travel back in time to the land of the dinosaurs!
