You always have family

Chapter 2 “You always have family.”

“Come on Severus you have to drink this.”

“Wolf I told you, I will not drink any potion that I did not make myself!” the irritated potion master sat in his hospital bed sneering at the offending potion bottles that the werewolf was trying to get him to drink. “I can tell by looking at them, that they are inadequately made!”

Severus it’s a simple nutrient and restorative potions! It’s not going to kill you. The healers here are not going to discharge you if you don’t start drinking these potions.”

“Here Sev I made these.”

“Finally! Someone competent at potion brewing! Thank you Potter.” The potion master snatched the vials from the out stretch hand and wasted no time in drinking them.

“Thank you Harry! At this rate he’ll be as old as Albus before he leaves St. Mungo’s.”

“Potter where is that dick for brain boyfriend of yours?”

“He’s gone. He left last night after the twins were born.”

“WHAT?!” Harry jumped back startled by the potion master’s outburst.

“You had the babies last night? Why didn’t you fire-call or owl I would have been there with you. We both know Severus would have threatened or cursed every healer and medi-witch just to be there.” Remus moved to gather the young healer in a comforting hug.

“Oliver said he did call but you were too busy to come. I know now that he wanted no witnesses around when he cast the spell on the twins.”

“WHAT?! HE HEXED THE CHILDREN? When I get out of here I’m going to show him why you don’t piss off death-eaters!” the former death-eater/spy thrashed in his bed.

Severus had fallen in to a coma after the final battle due to his injuries and an almost complete drain on his magical core thanks to Voldemort. When the war began 20 years ago the order made a decision to send a spy to be marked and infiltrate the inner circle. Severus drew the short stick so to speak. He had the qualifications Voldemort was looking for. He was a Slytherin, he had a vast knowledge of the dark arts and he was the world’s youngest potion master.

The order thought it was a fair sacrifice since Severus was single and had no family he was the perfect follower. What they didn’t know was that he was bonded to someone and that someone was very pissed that they had voted on the night of the full moon. Remus would watch night after night waiting for his mate to return the wolf inside was hard to contain when the potion master would return batter and almost broken. The end of the war meant freedom for the both of them, but Voldemort tried to take it from them even with his dying breath.

Severus was not a happy man when he finally woke up three months ago to find his lover and mate of over 20 years almost paralyzed due to a stray cutting curse that cut deep in to his left leg and his godson pregnant and dating some egotistic brainless Quidditch player.

“Severus calm down.” Remus was getting ready to whack his mate with his cane but right now his godson needed him. “Harry where are the twins? Are they alright?”

“Yes they’re fine I have the stroller under my invisibility cloak. I didn’t want to shock you when I came in. I placed a silencing charm over the stroller I didn’t want Sev to wake them.” Harry pulled back the cloak to reveal a muggle stroller with two sleeping babies.

“Oh my they look just like you Harry.”

“They looked like Oliver when they were born. Then after I fell asleep he disowned them.” The young father picked up his oldest son and placed him gently in the potion master’s arms. Then he placed his other son in Remus’ waiting arms.

“They’re beautiful Harry what have you named them?”

“Well this little one is Sirius James Potter and…”

“And what does S.R.P. stand for?” Severus sneered at the monogrammed baby blanket.

“It stands for Severus Remus Potter. He is the oldest by four minutes.”

“Yes well of course an intelligent name for an intelligent face.” The werewolf just rolled his eyes at the ravings of his mate.

“Severus they are Identical twins! One can’t be more intelligent looking than the other.”

“No! I can tell years of being a teacher I can spot them. He has a thoughtful look on his face and is observing everything and everyone around him. He’ll make an excellent Slytherin.”

“Oh and what about little Sirius here?” Remus limped closer to the bed offering his mate a better look at the baby.

“He has a look of mischief and a rule breaking gleam to his eye. He is definitely a Gryffindor he takes after your side of the family.” Harry smiled chuckling at the antic of his godfathers. They were more like fathers to him and it meant a lot him that they accepted his children.

“You don’t think they would mind me naming my son after them do you?” Harry asked a little worried. He did remember his father and he didn’t want to do anything that he would disapprove of.

“Of course not Harry. They would have been honored just like we are right Severus?” he waited for the potion mater answer but he received no reply. Remus’ heart melted when he turned to see his mate cooing and whispering to the babe in his arms.

“You’ll make a wonderful Slytherin and become one of the youngest potion masters of our time. You and your brother will get all O’s in potions, because you both are Snapes as well as Potters and you must uphold family tradition.” Remus smiled sadly at the scene. He knew Severus would have made an excellent father but unfortunately Were-wolves were not allowed to have children until just after the war when Cornelius Fudge was removed from Office.

Under the old laws once you were bitten you were immediately sterilized. The procedure was more painful and humiliating for the wizards then the witches. The would put you in a sterile room and ministry officials came in and watch as you were dehumanized as the removed you sperm sacs the muggle way with out a numbing charm then they would magically removed the womb that allows a wizard to carry a child. There was no way to reverse it once it was done. He was 8 when he was bitten and it haunted him the rest of his life. He cried when he found his mate knowing that he could never give him the family he had always wanted.

Severus was very understanding and still loved him for who he was not the fact that they could or could not have children. Then things had changed when Harry came into their lives. He was two years old when he was brought to them at Hogwarts. James and Sirius were sent on a mission to round up low ranking death eaters and Harry needed a baby sitter. They were more than happy to watch the baby as they done on many occasions to help their friend. James’ wife Lilly had died in child birth leaving him to raise little Harry alone. James had wanted to quit the Auras but the Order and Dumbledore insisted they need him there to weed out the spies. So on that night James left his son with one of his best friends and the surly potion master never to return again.

It was the worse night of their lives never to be forgotten.

Flash Back*~*~*~*~*

Little Harry woke up a 1:30 in the morning wailing as his he was in pain. The were-wolf tried to calm the child by holding and rocking him, he even tried purring which had his mate laughing at his attempts.

“Laughing at me is not helping Severus.”

“But you look so cute. I’ll give him a drop of calming potion the maybe he’ll relax enough to fall back asleep.”

“I hope your right. I don’t know why he’s so upset he was sound a sleep.”

“I have no idea either but we’ll do our best comfort him.

After they got Harry back to sleep, about half an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Severus open the door to find Kingsley Shacklebolt covered in mud and blood from head to toe.

“I’m sorry to tell you this but James Potter and his partner Sirius Black were killed tonight in the raid at 1:30 this morning. It was a trap set up by Peter Pettigrew former aura and now death eater.”

They were told it was a 10aruas against 50 Death-Eaters. There were only three survivors. Severus was furious and blamed himself for not knowing about the trap. Remus sat next to the potion master so he could wrap his arms around him and give him Love and support.

“You couldn’t have known Severus it was for Low ranking death-eaters only. This was there was their test you know that is why you weren’t told.”

“I should have known. They always send a higher rank to supervise.”

“But you’re his Potion Master you haven’t been on a raid since your test to become a death-eater. He keeps you close for your potions he doesn’t want to lose you, you’re to valuable. I know this is hard on you but we don’t have time worry about things that we can not change or feel guilty about events that were not our fault. We have to think of Harry.”

“You’re right Remmy. Harry needs us and we’ll be there for him.”

End flashback*~*~*~*
That night was the beginning for them. Remmy looked at his family and he realize he would change a thing in his life. Harry would need them now and they would help him every step of the way.

“Severus they are only a few hours old it’s not they are going to be sorted tomorrow. They can’t even understand a word you say.”

“Shows how much you know Wolf. Besides it’s never too early to start training Slytherins.” The potion master smirked at his mate as he hold little Severus closer.

“That’s what you said about Harry and he was sorted into Hufflepuff.”

“I blame poppy for that! She watched him while were in classes she filled his head with Hufflepuff fluff. Now where is that damn Healer? I’m getting out of here today.” Severus was Disappointed Harry wasn’t sorted into Slytherin but he was very proud of Harry as he kept up his potions training and went into healing instead of being and aura like James had been.

“Sev you’re not strong enough to get out of bed let alone leave the hospital.”

“Harry Not only are you my godson but you are also my Healer. As long as I am under healer’s care I can and I will leave this hospital.” The potion mast handed the infant back to his father and began to dress as he called for the healer. Harry tried to protest but was stopped by a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“Let him be Harry. You won’t be able to change his mind. Severus will do what he wants and yell and scare everyone till he gets his way.” The werewolf gently laid the sleeping baby Sirius back down in the stroller, and then Harry followed soon after with Little Severus. “What are your plans now that Oliver is gone?”

“I’ll go back home. He only paid the hospital for one night…”

“That Bastard when I see him again I’ll…”

“Severus you’re not helping! Now be Quite!”

“It’s Alright Remmy I’m angry too, but I don’t have time for that now. I’ve got my boys to look after.” Harry smiled softy as he glanced at his sleeping twins. He missed the look shared between his Godfathers. “I’ve been Making Fire calls all morning I think I might have a job. I also have Winky with me and she’ll be happy help me take care of the twins. She misses babying me since I grew up.” Remus laughed at the mention of the house elf. She had been given to James by his very old eccentric aunt when he married Lilly. Winky was just a young elf then and loved children. She loved Harry more than anything and followed him when he went to live with them at Hogwarts.

“I’ve got a job and a sitter and a promise to keep. Don’t worry so much, because we’ll be alright.”

“Don’t forget Harry, that you have us too. We love you as our own son and we’ll be there to help when you need us. You always will have family.”

“Good.” The Young healer felt tears well up in his eyes as he smiled at the two men he consider to be his parents. “Because I want you two to be the twins Grandfathers.”

“We would be Honored Harry.” Severus was never one for hugs and kisses like his werewolf mate but he did give reassuring smile and let Remus give the hugs. They would get through this because they were Family.
