Chapter 10



With much difficulty, Lucius had managed to enter the entrance hall of Hogwarts, climbing up the stairs, with a barely conscious, and bleeding Hermione. He knew that Sebastian was still out of control with his magic since he could feel the power of his vibrations and aura. His cries were echoing, bouncing off the stone walls.



“Lu…” Hermione said weakly as she slumped against him, making him support all of her weight.



“Stay with me Love,” Lucius croaked. He knew that she was starting to slip away, and possibly die. He fought back the tears at the thought. No, it could not happen. “Help!” he shouted. He couldn’t let go of Sebastian, afraid of what else he might do with his magic. He couldn’t let go of Hermione, letting her lie on the stone cold floor. No longer could he also move since she had supported her completely with an arm and his body. There was no way he could reach into his pocket and pull out his wand to cast a patronus charm. “Someone help!”



The doors of the Great Hall then opened. To Lucius’s relief, someone had heard him.



“Mr. Malfoy?” Hagrid frowned as he saw him. He tried to question about the crying baby, but his eyes widened when he saw the bleeding body of a woman. “Poppy!” he shouted as he turned his head back. He then rushed to Lucius and tried to help him.



Lucius’s eyes widened as soon as he saw Hagrid fly ten feet back, and land heavily on his backside. He noticed that the giant couldn’t even get within ten feet from him. “Don’t do this Sebastian please,” he pleaded. Would the infant actually understand him?



“Lucius?” Poppy gasped as she ran towards him. She was followed by Albus, Minerva and Severus. “What has-“ Poppy then shrieked as she found herself flying down the hall. Luckily for her, Hagrid had caught her.



“Don’t move!” Lucius warned the others, making them stop at their feet.



“What is going on Lucius?” Minerva asked with very much worry. The blond hair wizard had blood all over his clothes, clearly coming from the woman that he was holding.



“Albus, try to cast a spell, and levitate Hermione towards you,” Lucius suggested. He hoped that Sebastian wouldn’t even block unharmful spells.



“Hermione Granger-“



“Now!” Lucius bellowed to the older wizard.



Albus nodded and pulled his wand out. He pointed it towards Hermione and was ready to say the spell. When the first syllable came out of his mouth, he too found himself flying and being thrown down not far from the other two who had already stood up.



Minerva and Severus stepped back. They were surprised at what had just happened to Albus. He was one of the most powerful wizards and could block almost any spell.



“No Sebastian, please,” Lucius said as he talked to the crying baby in his arms. “Mummy needs help.”



Mummy? All the others thought. Hermione Granger was the mother of the baby? Was the baby the one doing all the magic?



Lucius looked back up and saw Severus. He remembered what Hermione had said during Sebastian’s first magical outbreak. “Severus, come. You have to take Sebastian,” he said as tears continued to flow from his eyes.



Severus shook his head firmly and frowned at what Lucius just said. “The infant is possessed with magical powers that we cannot control.” He didn’t want to also be thrown down the hall like the others. “He hasn’t harmed you.”



“You can calm him dammit!” Lucius shouted.



“I am not going to cast a dark spell-“



“Not a spell! You have to hold him!”



“What makes you think he’ll calm in my arms? You have gone in-“



“He’s your son Severus!” Lucius shouted as his chest heaved. “He trusts me, but I can’t calm him.”



Everyone including Severus gasped. They all stood speechless, feet away from Lucius, unmoving. Did they hear him right?



“Please Severus,” Lucius pleaded. “It’s the only way to make him stop. It’s the only way to stop his uncontrollable magic. Please…”



Severus thought about it for a moment before he took his first step forward. Lucius was so desperate, and rarely had he seen the man cry. And with the situation at hand, he surely wouldn’t lie and make something up. He gulped and paused before stepping within the distance in which he knew the others had been thrown. To his surprise, he wasn’t thrown down the hall. He moved to stand next to Lucius, and took the crying baby carefully in his own arms.



Almost immediately, as soon as Sebastian was cradled in Severus’s arms, against his chest, he had stopped crying. The other staff members watched in awe at what they had just witnessed. Severus Snape was really the baby’s father.



Severus looked down at Sebastian. Familiar black eyes had met his. Then within mere seconds, Sebastian was sound asleep in his arms.



“Poppy!” Lucius called her as he held Hermione up with his arms, trying best not to touch her back. He saw the hesitation in Poppy’s face and then spoke, “Sebastian’s magic has stopped. It’s safe.”



Soon enough, Hermione’s body was being levitated towards the hospital wing. Everyone else followed closely except for Severus.



There at the entrance hall, Severus stood alone with a baby in his arms. Sebastian—his son? Mother, Hermione Granger? How did it all happen? Was he the child spoken of in the prophecy?



Even with all the questions that were in his head, Severus couldn’t help but feel an unknown feeling within him. Was it content? He had a son. A child born of his own flesh and blood. He never imagined the day would come, and yet here he was, holing him.
