At Snape Manor
A green light flashed in the fireplace. Severus, who was sitting comfortably in a chair, stood up and went to the fireplace.
"May I go through?" The voice of the Boy Who Lived, who had now turned into a young man, shouted.
"Yes, Potter, you may," Severus replied.
Harry walked out of the fireplace. He smiled widely. "Your house is nice. It's better than..." He stopped talking when he saw Severus's eyes.
"I bought the house with money from the Nilanakorn. I prefer living in the human world to the Underworld. The courtiers will come to see me." Severus said. "Komes is not here today. He has business to attend to. He will return in the evening. Sevvylin has a date with Stewart."
"I didn't come to see them." Harry said. "I came to see you, sir. I brought the wedding invitation."
Severus took the invitation. "You will marry Miss Weasley. Congratulations. This is the second wedding I have attended. The first was with Lucas and Abigail."
Harry remembered that. It was a rather unforgettable memory. "Do you still keep in touch with Benjamin?"
Severus nodded. "Yes, I do. He has moved in with Jaeden now."
"I have a favour to ask of you," Harry said, looking down at his feet.
"What is it?" Severus asked.
"I want to name my son after you," Harry said so quickly he could barely hear him.
Severus paused. "Are you out of ideas for names for your son? There are so many other cool names. I'll help you think of some."
"I want to name my son after someone who helped me win the war," Harry said. "One of my sons will be named Albus Severus."
Severus snorted. "If you're going to name your son after everyone who helped you, you're going to have about a dozen children. Have some pity on Miss Weasley. You can name him whatever you want. Have I ever been able to stop you?"
Harry grinned. "I won the bet with Sirius. He said you'd be a total riot. Oh, I'm going to name my first child James Sirius if it's a boy."
Severus shook his head. "You are not even married yet, and you plan to name the child. I bet anything that a boy named James Sirius will be a troublemaker."
Harry laughed. "Same name, not necessarily same personality, Professor. He could be prim and proper."
The green light flashed again. Both turned to look.
"It's me, Draco Severus. May I come in?" A voice said.
"Yes," Severus replied. Draco stepped forward. He looked as elegant as Lucius, but he didn't look happy.
"Hello, Severus. How are you, Potter?" he greeted.
"You look pale," Harry said.
"I've been working hard," Draco replied. "I just found out that being head of the family isn't easy. I can see why my father was so hard on me."
Harry didn't understand what it meant to be head of the family, but Severus understood. The head of the family was passed from father to eldest son. The position could not be passed on until after the father died.
"Lucius is dead?" Severus cried. "What's wrong with him? You should tell me. I could help."
Draco shook his head. "It's unexpected. Father was only a little sick, so he didn't pay much attention. He didn't go to the hospital. In just three days, he died."
Severus sighed. He thought back to the past. Lucius Malfoy was one of the few Slytherins who didn't mind him being a half-blood.
September 1, 1971
At the Slytherin table
Severus was eating pumpkin soup with relish when the conversation turned to family.
"Pure for countless generations," Avery said. "Belonging to the Sacred Twenty-Eight.
"Mine too," Mulciber said. "What's your last name?" He turned to Severus.
"I'm Severus Snape," the boy replied.
"Eww!" Avery said. "That's not a familiar last name. Are you a Mudblood?"
"I saw that slimeball clinging to that Mudblood Evans," Mulciber said disdainfully. "So you two are the same."
Severus' spoon slipped out of his hand and clinked against the bowl. "Don't call her that," he said. "And I'm a half-blood. My mother is a witch."
Avery was about to retort, but Lucius interrupted with a deep voice.
"The Sorting Hat put him in Slytherin, so it must have seen the seeds of greatness in him. It doesn't matter what bloodline he has. Once you are in Slytherin, everyone is family. We're all abandoned by the other three houses. Don't fight among yourselves." He patted Severus on the shoulder lightly. "I hope you'll bring greatness to Slytherin. I'm confident that one day you'll be great. Trust me, I've never been wrong about anyone."
Severus looked up at Lucius and smiled uncertainly. Lucius swept a warning glance around the table. Everyone at the table felt that look. 'If you don't want to die, don't mess with him.'
Severus' first year was peaceful. No one bothered him, except for the marauders. But at least the Slytherins were afraid of Lucius and didn't bother him much. The only people he could talk to, besides Lily, were Lucius and Narcissa. The two were already dating. This was one of the few times when pureblood pairings were approved by the adults. Both of them looked after Severus like a younger brother.
June 1962
"You will be a graduate soon. Congratulations, Lucius." Severus said. Lucius received many expensive gifts from his friends and juniors. Severus felt a little guilty that he couldn't buy anything for his good senior. "I have nothing to give you."
Lucius smiled. "It's okay." And his smile faded. He pulled Severus into a hug and let him go. He looked at Severus. "Take care of yourself, bro. I'm going to graduate."
Severus smiled sadly. He knew that Lucius graduating would give the other students an opportunity to bully him more easily. Even though Narcissa hadn't graduated yet, she was a girl. If they bullied him in the dorms, there was no way she would know.
His worry must have been obvious on his face because Lucius reached out and squeezed his shoulder encouragingly.
"Good luck, Lucius," Severus said.
"You too, Severus," Lucius replied.
Lucius was one of the few people who had been nice to Severus. Almost 20 years had passed when Draco had entered Hogwarts. Severus had taken special care of him. It was well known that he favoured Slytherin, but Draco was undoubtedly his favourite. He made an unbreakable vow to protect Draco.
"I'm sorry, Malfoy," Harry's voice snapped him out of his reverie. "What can I do for you?"
Draco nodded. He turned to Severus. "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for, Draco?" Severus asked.
"For saving my soul," Draco said. "At the cost of your own soul."
Severus smiled. "You're welcome, Draco. I'm glad you understand."
"Don't forget to come to my wedding, Malfoy," Harry said. "Professor Snape will be there too."
"You still call him Professor Snape?" Draco exclaimed in disbelief. "He quit years ago,"
Harry glanced at Severus worriedly before answering Draco, "I don't know what to call him. I'm not as close to him as you are."
"You can call me Severus, Potter," Severus said. "Every time you call me Professor, it reminds me of my Hogwarts days."
Harry smiled. "Then you can call me Harry, Severus."
"Okay, Harry," Severus replied.
"I'm off," Harry said. "I have to get ready for the party." He grabbed the Floo powder and threw it into the fireplace before disappearing.
"Give my regards to Komes and Sevvylin," Draco said. "So he's really dating Ackerley?"
Severus nodded. "Stewart took great care of my son."
"Then you have no chance of being a grandfather," Draco teased. "Stewart is a human; he can't have a Naga child."
Severus laughed. "Have you forgotten who I am? I'm the greatest potion brewer of the century. I've just invented a new potion. A potion that can make a man pregnant or a woman can make another woman pregnant," he said proudly. After he found out that Sevvylin had decided to date Stewart, he spent most of his free time inventing the potion, adapting it from a formula for making homunculus. "This potion will help to unite the magic of two people and produce their offspring through magic power, not through the normal mixing of sperm and egg," Severus explained.
Draco nodded in amazement. He knew Severus was a great potion brewer, but he didn't know he was so good that he could overcome the laws of nature. "Congratulations," he said. "I'm going now. I'll come back when I'm free," and he disappeared in a flash of green light.
Severus was alone again. He was starting to feel lonely. When will Komes come back? Why does he have many businesses?
A hand reached out and hugged his waist from behind. "What are you daydreaming about, my love?"
Severus looked back. He pushed Komes away. "You've been gone for so long. The nagas in your city must be beautiful."
Komes laughed. "Are you jealous, Sevvy? I don't have anyone but you."
Severus stared at him with eyes that would make a student cry. "Just try," he threatened.
"I miss you so much," Komes said. "Let's go to the bedroom."
"I'm bored with the bedroom," Severus said. "This place has a nice atmosphere."
Komes was stunned. "Since when did you learn to talk like that? You're in trouble, Sevvy."
"Come on, I'm ready." Severus challenged. He returned to his snake form to prepare himself.
Komes used magic to create a pool of water, stepped into the water, and returned to his snake form as well.
He slithered around Severus' body, pushing open the important scales that covered his embarrassing part. If the snake could blush, Severus would have blushed already.
"Two or one?" Komes whispered.
"One," Severus replied. Every snake's had two members. He had never been brave enough to let Komes put them in at the same time.
Komes's body rubbed against his body. Komes usually did this until Severus's hole was wet so that he wouldn't feel too hurt. Komes pushed his hard member into Severus's hole. Severus cried out, both in pain and pleasure. They slithered tightly together like vines.
"Do you really not want two?" Komes asked teasingly. He thrust his member deeper.
"I'm going to die just like this," Severus said. "Have some mercy on me."
Komes laughed. Severus's hole was narrow, just right for his member. It was too small to fit two at once. The two enjoyed their sexual pleasure for a long time. When the sun set, Komes finally pulled his member out of Severus' body. The two fell asleep on the sofa until dawn.
