Looking Through Your Eyes
By Angelwings Sorrow

Chapter 18 “Potions, Memories, Feelings, and Meetings”

Remus returned to the DADA position taking the load off the to teens. Harry was working with Snape on the potion to get him and Draco back to normal but there were so many enemies they to fight. He was just so tired sometimes it got hard to deal with it all but there Draco to think about and the thought of his children gave him the strength to go on.

“I’m here Professor I brought the moonlight rose.”

“Thank you Harry the potion is still lacking something is not blending well and your mother and I have been through every book in the castle.”

“Maybe the moon powered had an foreign object in it? It was ground with an old mill stone.”

“Yes of course the decaying part of the stone must have worn into the powder.” Snape gave Harry a rare smile then sighed. “You are so much like you mother Harry.”

“About my mother?” now was the time to ask he had to gather his courage to face his once hated professor. He looked up at Severus’ face and saw the sadness wash over the onyx eyes it was now or never he had to know. “ How did you two become friends, sir?”

“No need to be so formal you may call me Severus in private. Well it was at the begin of 6th year when my grades in charms started slipping.”

“Slipping they dropped like a stone in water!” shout the painting at his left.

“No one asked you Lilly! Any ways at that time I was having a hard time with my family becoming more involved with the dark lord. They raised me to be the perfect servant for their dark lord but I wanted nothing to do with anything they had planned. I just wanted to spend my life brewing and inventing potions, but I had no choice but to be a death eater. Well a death eater must have top grades not just in potions. So my mother demanded that I have a tutor. Dumbledore arranged for his top student to tutor me. You can imagine my disgust when found out I was to be taught by goody-goody Gryffindor.”

“Well teaching a Slytherin git wasn’t easy!”

“Lilly I’m telling this story so shut up!”

“Yes brother dear.”

“Now as was saying your mother was set up to be my new tutor and I did not make it easy for her.” The potion master paused briefly as if expecting the painting to shout out again but nothing was heard. “Every time we met I would insult her, berate her, and she endured it for three long weeks.”

“Merlin he was so annoying! One time I had to put a silencing charm on him!”

“LILLIAN!”

“Sorry I’ll be good.”

“Yes and the dark lord will dancing in a tutu in the great hall.” Grumble the potion master turning away from the annoying painting to sneer at his giggling godson. “Don’t laugh Harry you’ll only encourage her.”

“Sorry uncle.” Harry gave him a sheepish smile and blushed a little it was the first time he ever address his godfather as family. Lilly smiled as she watch her son and adopted brother become the family she had always hoped they’d be.

“Well then this portion of the potion is finished we need to let this brew for two weeks we’ll need to constantly watch this.” He turned the flam down low and set and alarm and shield spell on the potions before turning back to Harry with one rare smile. Shall we have tea and I can finish my story?”

“Yes I’d like that.” As they made their way to the sitting room Severus couldn’t help but remember his the study session that led him to his sister.

*~*~*~*~*~Flash Back*~*~*~*

“I’m not an idiot I know how to do a simple warning charm!”

“Sev what’s wrong of all our study sessions you have never been so distracted.”

“Evans, how many time do I have to tell you not to call that? We are not friends so stop pretending to care.” The young Slytherin tossed his books in to his bag and was ready to storm as way when the marauders came up to the table.

“Hey Evans is it be kind to animals week?”

“I don’t think so Potter I don’t see anyone be nice to you.” James Blushed as Sirius let out a barking laugh.

“You two leave now!” Madame Price did not tolerate noise in her library even then.

“Fine we’re going you coming Moony?” James looked to the werewolf who had sat next to Lilly.

“I’ll catch up with you in a bit I need to get the potion notes you refused to write for me when I was sick.”

“Fine later Evens, Snivelus.” With that James and Sirius were gone the three began a quiet conversation.

“Thanks for helping me Lilly I don’t know what I would do without you.”

“You would fail from Potters poor note taking skills Remmy. Right Sev?”

“Evens stop calling me that. While you may be an annoying goody-goody Gryffindork your potions skills are adequate.”

“There you go Lilly high praise from the top potions student in the school.” Remus gave the Slytherin a warm lighthearted smile before turned his attention back to his housemate. “Thanks again Lilly don’t let James bother you, you know he’s just showing off for you. I’ll see back at the tower.”

“Bye Remmy.” As soon as She was sure that Lupin was out of range she turned to her pupil. “ So Remmy is why you can’t perform.”

“W-w-what the hell are you talking about?”

“You like Remus Lupin!”

“I do not you nosy Gryffindor now lower your voice someone could hear you.” He hissed while looking around to make sure no one heard him or her.

“Sure you don’t that’s why you normally pale face is bright red. It’s ok Sev I can tell he likes you too.”

“You don’t know anything. I’m not at all likeable. Even my own housemates hate me so quit spouting such nonsense.”

“You don’t give your self enough credit. I like you and you’re My friend even if you are a pain in the arse sometimes.” Severus just stared in shock at the smiling Gryffindor. No one had ever wanted to be his friend he was in awe of the pure heart and soul of this young girl in front of him. He slipped his Slytherin mask in place and said.

“You Presence is tolerable and you seem to have enough wit for a Gryffindor.” Lilly gasped and grabbed her heart.

“Oh be still my beating heart the mighty potion’s master has bestowed two complements in 20 minutes to lowly commoner me!” and for the first time since entering Hogwarts Severus Snape laughed.

~*~*~*~*~ End Flash back*~*~*~*~

“Lil really knew how to make me laugh.”

“Thank you uncle. I’ve heard so much of my father it is really great to hear about my mum. I can only hope I’ll be as good of a mum to my children.” ‘If I live that long.’

“I know you’ll be a great parent Harry. You and Draco seem to have come together rather quickly anything I should know?”

“I’m not sure how I feel these Veelan instincts are clouding my heart. I worry that once we switch everything will go back to the way it was and I couldn’t bare that. I don’t want to be alone again. It hurts too much.”

Severus watch as a tear fell from the veela’s eye and in to his tea. It was heart breaking that this young man had been through so much and still felt that he didn’t deserve love or happiness. “Harry…” The potion master set the tea aside and cradled his godson’s hands in his forcing the teen to look up. “ Whatever happens to you now or later in life you’ll never be alone. There are many who care and love you. You are always going to face these difficult tasks but you are not doing it alone. And give yourself some credit anyone who is smart enough to catch you as a mate is not going to let you go.”

“I hope you’re right uncle.” Harry gave his new godfather a weary smile ‘Merlin I hope you’re right.’

“Harry are you alright you have been quiet lately.”

“ Oh I’m alright Ginny. Things are happening so fast and I’m worried about Draco.” Draco turned to the youngest Weasley with worry in his eyes. He wasn’t lying things were happening way to fast one day he’s fine then the next he’s in Harry’s body carrying twins and his father is the father of said twins.

“Things have been really rough this past summer hasn’t it? But you did have something good is coming out of it you and Draco are together. Veelas are good to their mate and he will love and cherish you. You just had to get it through your thick skull that you deserve love and that it’s ok to listen to your heart.”

“But what if he doesn’t want the baby? What is he looks at the baby and realize they will never be his.” ‘ Or realize that he hates me because it was my father who raped him.’

“Harry he loves you and from the look in his eyes I can tell he’ll love that baby because the baby is apart of you. Just as we all love you and that little one growing inside of you. It doesn’t matter who the father is. I know were not suppose to know what happen or that you came back carrying a baby but we all care and love you Harry. If you need anything or you need a shoulder or even a friendly ear I will always be here you.”

“Thank you Ginny I need to hear that.” Draco threw his arms around her and cried. “Damn hormones.” He muttered and they laugh as the held each other on the Great hall steps.

********

Halloween had come and gone and the snow started to fall. Hermione had finished the potions and Ron finished the last security wards and they were ready for the next DA meeting.

“Well everything is in place Harry but I really wish you would consider the sitting this meeting out.”

“No Ron I’m not going to put others in danger for my sake.”

“But That’s just it your putting the baby in danger as well.”

“No I have to see this through plus Draco will be with me the whole time and all of you guys too. So there will be nothing to worry about.”

“Fine! I give up just promise to use Professor Lupin’s port-key should it get bad in here.”

“I promise.”

“Ron, Harry, the meeting will start in 10. Hermione and Draco have the potions in the drinks ready.” Ginny said as she went to open the door. “I’m going to start letting them in where’s Draco?” Draco-Harry was wondering the same thing. He knew that Harry said that he and Professor Snape were very close to a cure and that is shouldn’t affect the babies but there was still more testing to be done before he would allow Draco to drink it.

“ I don’t know he left early this morning and he hasn’t eaten either.”

“We saw him heading to the Dark forest.” The group turned to the couple who had just entered. It was still a shock to see Luna wrapped protectively in Crabbe’s huge gorilla size arms.

Now he was getting worried. Draco knew the Veelan powers would keep him safe but still he wanted to see his mate to make sure he stayed safe. Harry’s hero instincts were starting to take over; as he was ready to run into the forest after him Harry-Draco came waltzing in.

“Took you long enough Malfoy!” the whole group took a step back. No one wanted to be near a hormonally pissed off Harry Potter.

“Just being fashionably late Potter.” Harry flashed the Malfoy smile and charm and Draco’s anger melted into a pout. He hated his own charms used against him. “There are more members on the way so you better stick close to me.”

“How close to you do I have to be I’m still mad at you.” Suddenly Draco was pulled in to the veela’s strong arms. He felt Harry nuzzle into his hair and kiss the shell of his ear and whispered.

“I want you so close it hurts. These feelings overwhelm be I have to take Ice showers almost every ten minutes. Your scent drives me crazy I want something but I don’t know what.”

“I know it’s my Veelan side tell you to take me as your mate because we are soul mates and I love you. Soon love the potion is almost ready then we’ll go as slow as you need.” Draco wrapped his arms around Harry’s waist and held him. Controlling the veela was hard but he had years of practice and study to understand and hold the instincts back. Harry on the other hand was not doing so well. The veela was trying to dominate Harry’s human side and Draco could feel the fear radiating off his mate. “We’ll be together soon.”

“So it’s true!” the couple turned to the voice to find a very anger witch.
