Chapter Eleven; Voldemort's Return
Snape rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth. Harry and Lily had talked him on going on the "It's A Small World" boat ride and ever since he got on it, he was regretting every moment of it. "Black," he began quietly as he turned over to look at him and Sirius turned to look at him as well. "now that we're not enemies anymore can I ask you a huge favor?" he questioned.
"Sure, what is it Severus?"
"Just shoot me already and put me out of my misery." He told him as Lily scowled at him and elbowed him in the stomach while Sirius lowered his head trying to hide the fact that he was laughing.
That's when all of a sudden Harry looked up at her. "Mummy, I've got to go potty." He told her.
"Alright darling, Daddy will take you to the bathroom as soon as the ride's over." She told him.
"I can take him now, Harry can swim can't he?" Severus asked her hurriedly as Lily just simply shook her head and rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh Severus, stop it." She muttered under her breath.
To Snape's relief, the ride finally came to an end and he hoisted Harry up into his arms. "Thank the Lord, I thought that ride was never going to end. Boy, this makes the cruciatus curse look like the tickle monster. Now I know what real torture is." He said before he started carrying Harry away.
"What pixie bit his ass?" Sirius asked as he pointed in their direction while they made their way to the restrooms.
"I think he's still upset about what happened back in Salazar's Cove, and I really don't blame him. Ever since Peter Pettigrew first came back I've been worried about You-Know-Who returning to power as well, and it looks like now he will." She said. "And you know the first thing he'll do is come after Harry." She added.
"Don't worry Lily, Severus and I won't let him come anywhere near Harry or you." Sirius assured her but Lily wasn't convinced.
"Don't get me wrong, I love Harry to pieces and I'm so glad that he was born into this world,.. but sometimes I wonder if I'm the right person to raise him." She said sadly.
"Don't be ridiculous, Harry's a very lucky little kid to have a wonderful mother like you who loves and cares about him so much." He told her as she smiled sadly at him.
"Thank you Sirius, and Harry and Tobey are both very lucky boys to have you for a godfather." She told him when a few moments later Snape and Harry returned.
"So what do you guys want to do next?" Lily asked them.
"Well Harry just told me while he was washing his hands that he wanted to go on the Dumbo ride and then have lunch with all the Disney princesses." He said with a rather sly grin while Lily just placed her hands upon her hips. "What? He said it not me." Snape told him as he pointed down at the small child beside him.
"You're getting to be quite the ladies' man aren't you Harry?" Sirius questioned him teasingly as he grinned and winked his eye at him.
"Tell you what," Lily began before she squatted down in front of her son. "After we go on the Dumbo ride you can get your picture taken with any character you choose, and then we'll go on a few more rides before lunch and then we go back to the hotel to swim for a little bit. How does that sound?" she asked him. "Do you like that?"
Harry smiled widely at her and nodded before she lifted him up into the air and kissed his cheek. "Well at least on this ride there's no signing." Snape said as Sirius grinned at him and began to whistle the "It's A Small World Tune" before Snape quickly snapped his head around and glared at him.
"I never want to hear that song again in my life." He said before he started following Lily as she carried Harry away. Snape thoroughly enjoyed the Dumbo ride as he sat down next to a very excited Harry who held his arms high up into the air and had a very excited grin on his face. After that they went on the mad tea party ride, the carousel, saw a 3D movie, had lunch and set back to the hotel just like they had planned.
They rested in the hotel for a while before heading down to the pool to swim. Everyone was exhausted by the time it was time to go to bed that night, and that's when all of a sudden Harry started having another nightmare. It started off being about him aboard the Pirates of The Caribbean ride, then all of a sudden all of the pirates morphed into dementors and a half man, half snake looking creature stood up on top of the pirate ship staring down at Harry and threatening to kill him, just like he had tried to five years ago. That's when it was really true. Voldemort was back, and Harry was his number one target.
