Hogwarts’ Potions Master, Professor Severus
Snape, was not to be messed with on good days, but if any student had seen the
teacher heading towards the dungeons right now, he would have probably petrified
the student. Professor Snape quickly called out his password, normally, in situations
with lots of things to think of, the Professor would head for the liquor cabinet,
but he had a child growing inside him to think about so he decided to call a
house elf. “Sitty,” he called, immediately a tiny house elf appeared,
“What would Master like?”

“I would like some tea and perhaps some
biscuits.” the Professor said, sitting down on his favorite seat. He looked
to the clock in front of him; he still had some time for himself but not much.
For the first time in history, Professor Severus Snape, didn’t know what
to think or what to do. He supposed he should start by letting his partner know
about the baby and discuss with him their options. With that bit settled, Severus
drifted off to his memories, remembering how it came that he and Harry Potter
got together.

In Harry’s six year they had come to a
truce of some sort. They were forced to work together by Dumbledore, him teaching
Harry Occulemency and DADA. He was surprised, when at their first meeting Harry
had apologized for the pensive incident. They had reached their truce by the
second month, as it seems, Harry had really wanted to learn and put in a lot
of effort into their work. He had begun to see Harry differently, when Harry
had a huge fight with Ronald Weasley over Draco Malfoy during the Christmas
holidays. It had seemed that Harry had been talking to Draco for a month, before
they decided to announce Draco alliance to the light side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Severus’
Memory~~~~~~~~~~~

He hated eating breakfast Saturday mornings,
it was always loud, especially on Hogsmeade weekends, but he needed to eat at
least one meal in the Great Hall and since he planned to be busy the rest of
the day, he had no other choice. He just had gotten his first sip of coffee
when the doors open. In came Potter and Draco, talking to each other as if they
were the best of friends. The Great Hall had gone silent, thus making it easy
to hear Potter. “Dray, would you care to join me for breakfast before
we head off to Hogsmeade?”

“Sure Harry…” was all Draco
got to say, before Weasley got up.

“Harry, what the hell are you doing with
the ferret?!”

Harry took a deep breath, “Ron, sit down
and I will explain…”

“I will NOT sit down and eat breakfast
with a MALFOY!” Ron yelled.

Harry took a look at Draco and then at Ron,
taking another deep breath,

“Very well, but… remember Ron, you are the one making the choice…”
Harry was going to continue, but one look at Ron told him that it pointless,
so he turned to Draco.

“Dray, we can get something to eat there,
lets go.”

They left together and from that day on the
Golden Trio split. Hermoine, at first, tried to be friends to both, but soon
was only seen with Ron. Rumors had it, that she stopped talking to Harry, not
because she was Ron’s girlfriend but because Harry had beaten her in all
classes, including potions. Rumors also had it that Draco and Harry were not
just friends … and that bit of information awoke a weird
sensation in Severus Snape.
