Forced To Be A Savior

The trees of the forbidden forest were just turning from green to their autumn colors. A little black and white corgi puppy ran across the lawn that separated Hogwarts from Hagrid’s cabin, followed by a laughing five year old with emerald green eyes and messy black hair.

The puppy yipped happily and ran in a circle around the boy, who practically fell to the ground laughing as his puppy jumped up to lap at his face.

“Mommy!” The little boy laughed, playfully trying to push the puppy back. “Miso won’t stop licking me!”

“Miso, come over here!” Harry Potter, Boy Who Lived, called and the little puppy dashed over to him, followed by Harry’s son, Logan.

Logan was five years old, with messy hair that reminded Harry of himself when he was younger and emerald green eyes. Luckily he’d inherited Severus’ eyesight, so he didn’t need glasses. This was good because Logan probably would have managed to break glasses even if they had an unbreakable charm on them. He’d inherited Harry’s ability to get into trouble.

Despite having memorized all the trick steps, secret passages and made friends with all the ghosts by the time he was three, Logan was the darling of the Hogwarts students and staff.

It helped that most of the teachers were ‘related’ to him. His father was Potions Professor, Uncle Remus taught Defense Against The Dark Arts with help from Uncle Sirius. Uncle Draco was teaching Charms while Uncle Tom was the Headmaster.

Logan spent most of his day with his “Mommy” (aka Harry) and Miso, the corgi puppy that Logan had gotten for his fifth birthday from Sirius... apparently Sirius had been out walking in his dog form and had found the little guy in a cardboard box.

Harry actually didn’t know why Logan had named the puppy Miso... it wasn’t like they ever ate Miso Soup... but the moment Logan had been told he could name his puppy he’d chosen the name “Miso.”

Over five years ago, when Dumbledore was busted for his numerous crimes Tom had been given the opportunity to take over the position of Headmaster at Hogwarts. Once he accepted life had gone back to normal... or as normal as things could be with a little boy who lived in a castle.

For the first year or so Harry had been scared that, because he had no real loving parental force in his life, he would be a bad parent...it had taken almost two years for Severus and Logan to convince Harry otherwise...

“Daddy!” Logan cried out, running ahead of Harry with Miso bounding behind him.

Standing in the entrance to the halls of Hogwarts was Severus Snape... a smiling Severus Snape, which would horrify most students, but only made Logan smile wider as he practically leaped into his Daddy’s arms as Miso sat down next to Severus’ feet and panted happily.

“Did you have fun with your Mommy?” Severus asked, hugging his son as Harry came up to his husband and son.

“Yeah! Mommy read a really funny book to me and we played with Miso! He wouldn’t stop licking my face!”

“Bad Miso, you should stop when Logan says to!” Severus mock scolded the dog as Harry leaned in for a kiss. “Did he obey Mommy?”

“Yeah...” Logan said with a sigh, leaning on Severus’ shoulder.

“Logan?” Harry asked, moving over so his son could see him. “I’ve got to go see someone, so you and Miso can play with Daddy for a little bit.”

“Can I watch you make a potion?” Logan smiled up at his Daddy, who nodded and went to his potions lab, while Harry headed off in his own direction... if you asked Severus he was going to talk with Remus and Sirius...

But he wasn’t.

Harry was going to visit the new Medi-Witch, a short woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes named Rebecca Long. She was an American Pure Blood, come to London because of some family argument.

“I still can’t believe that you haven’t told them yet!” Rebecca sighed, glaring at Harry through her bangs.

“I... I wanted to be sure.” Harry sighed. “.... And now I am.”

“Well... don’t blame me if Severus bites your head off for not telling him...” Rebecca sighed as Harry left her office. “And come see me in three weeks!”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Severus?” Harry whispered. He was standing just beyond the close door which separated their room from Logan’s... which was never locked in case Logan got nightmares. “I... I have something to tell you.”

“Harry?” Severus had been sitting in bed reading. “Is something wrong?”

“No!” Harry walked over to the bed. “It’s nothing bad...” He looked down and blushed. “It’s actually really good... I was just scared to tell you...”

“Harry.... what is it?” Severus asked, sitting up and taking Harry’s hand.

“I’m.... I’m pregnant again.” Harry whispered.

“When... when did you find out?” Severus asked, running a hand over Harry’s stomach.

“Four months ago.” Harry gulped as Severus stared at him.

“And your only telling me now?!?” Severus stared at his husband, one eyebrow slightly raised as Harry nodded. “Harry... I’m not angry at you.” Severus opened his arms and Harry leaned in for a hug. “Just... surprised that you didn’t tell me earlier.”

“I was worried...” Harry sighed. “I read that Bearers have a very high chance of miscarrying on their second pregnancy...” Harry nuzzled into Severus’ cheek. “I was scared that I’d tell you and then lose the baby... so I talked to Rebecca and she told me that after four months I’d be okay.”

“I don’t blame you for being scared.” Severus whispered, holding his mate tightly. “Just next time... let me be scared with you?”

“Of course.”

“Logan?” Harry asked, walking into his son’s room, where Logan was sitting on his bed with Miso.

“Mommy? What is it?” Logan asked as Harry sat down on the bed with him. “Is something wrong?”

“No, actually everything’s okay Logan... I’ve got a surprise for you.” Harry smiled. “Your going to have a little brother or sister.”

“Really?!?” Logan gasped, smiling at Harry.

“Yes.” Harry hugged his son. “In a few months she or he will come.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Logan was sitting on his uncle Tom’s lap, trying not to be scared. His mommy was behind the curtain with Daddy and his other Uncle and whimpers were coming from Mommy. Then their was a little cry, which sounded almost like Miso when he whimpered. A few more seconds passed before his Uncle looked around the curtain and motioned for Uncle Tom to come forward.

Logan walked along with Uncle Tom until he saw his Daddy looking down at Mommy and smiling.

When Severus saw Logan he picked him up and sat him on the bed next to Harry and their new daughter. Harry smiled over at his son. “Logan, this is your new sister, Rachel.”

Logan looked over at the little girl, who had dark red hair and big emerald green eyes. “Hi Ray.” Logan whispered and the little girl smiled at her brother, reaching up to grab his hair.
