Chapter 8: Count Dracula Appears
It had been a few hours since Severus had left Potter standing alone in the hallway and he had already finished unpacking and settling in to his new private living quarters. He took another long look around the room, satisfied that everything was in order. Walking over to the double-paned glass doors that opened up onto the balcony, he went outside. It was a full moon and there were a few lone stars sparkling in the night sky. He stood there for a few minutes thinking of what had transpired over the last few hours. Closing his eyes, he tiredly rubbed them and became lost in thought.
When he had found out that it was Harry Potter’s child that had been brought into St. Mungo’s in critical condition, all Severus could think of at that time was revenge. He saw the opportunity arise by using the love of a father for his child to get even for everything he himself had lost. A life he never had and could never have. He didn’t know what had come over himself but now blamed it on his own stupidity for not taking his potions, which caused the seizure he suffered in his lab before Healer Carlson had contacted him. It led him to be irrational and now he was suffering the consequences of his actions. He knew he was being a bastard but somehow that didn’t matter. The one thing he was sure of was that he never would have let the child die but had been so consumed with hate and jealousy for her father that he had acted without thinking.
The little girl was called Lily, named after the love of his life. If his beloved Lily had managed to survive that night so many years ago, they might have had a chance together. That is, if Lily could have ever forgiven him for his betrayal over revealing the prophecy to the Dark Lord, which had lead up to her beloved husband’s death.
Blast that thought; there was no way in hell he could ever have been the brat’s stepfather. Anyway, that was in the past and never would have happened. Lily was gone and whatever chance he might have had with her was long over, due to the wrong choices and decisions he had made with his life. At one time, he at least had her friendship and that was the most precious gift he could ever have wished for.
Tears came to Severus’ eyes, knowing that now she would never forgive him for what he had just done to her son. The son she loved so much that she gave her own life up for so that he could live. The son who had her eyes.
Turning around Severus went back into the bedroom and decided that he would take a nice long hot shower, then go to bed. He would worry about what he would do next in the morning but for now he needed sleep. Later, just before he fell asleep, Severus remembered the look on Potter’s face before he had left him for the night.
He was woken from a sound sleep by what sounded like an earthquake and loud yelling. He knew it wasn’t possible but the foundation of the house felt like it was shaking. Cursing, Severus sat up in bed and pushed his long hair out of his face. Climbing out of bed, he reached for his black bathrobe, quickly putting it on. Then, picking up his wand off the night stand, he opened the door and stepped out into the dimly lit hallway to find out who would dare cause such a racket so early in the morning.
“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE?” Severus roared as he walked swiftly up the hallway where loud voices were coming from.
********************************************************************
Harry, James and Albus were frozen by the spectral figure stalking towards them. Shaking himself from his stupor, Harry stepped in front of his sons, shielding them from Snape. He held his wand out before him, ready to protect them at all costs.
“DAD! It’s Count Dracula!” Albus screeched, peeking out from behind his dad with huge eyes.
“No, it’s not.... It’s the Bogeyman!” James cried.
“DADDY! SAVE US! HE’S GOING TO EAT US ALL!” They both screamed with tears pouring down their faces and hugging their dad around the waist so tight Harry could hardly breathe.
“DON’T LET HIM GET US, DADDY!” James and Albus closed their eyes and stayed hidden behind Harry. “We promise we’ll be good from now on.”
Severus finally came to a halt and was standing in front of the trio looking down at them.
“Oh, for the love of Merlin, would you stop with the infernal yelling and shut up or I promise you that I will cook you both alive in my cauldron and eat you for breakfast.”
Harry looked up at him and noticed that Snape’s right eye was twitching as he scowled down at them. His long black hair was hanging loose and fell forward around his angular pale face. He was wearing black silk pajamas and a black bathrobe that hung open around his tall lanky form. He also noticed that Snape was holding his wand in his hand but that it was not pointed at them. When Snape saw Harry looking at it, he slowly put it in the pocket of his robe.
“Now tell me, what is the meaning of this?” Snape demanded.
“Severus, I would like you to meet my sons,” Harry answered while slipping his own wand into the back pocket of his pants. He was seeking a truce, even if it may be only temporary.
His eyes met Snape’s and he whispered to the boys, “Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you. I promise,” knowing Severus would hear him.
“James... Albus... This is Severus Snape.” Harry pulled both boys out from behind him and holding their hands firmly he added, “Your new father.”

A/N: I won’t be updating again until sometime next week and hope you enjoyed this update even though it was kind of short. I just wanted a little break from the angst. I promise that chapter 9 will be much longer and will definitely feature Lily coming home and the boys causing trouble for Snape. They will not readily accept him as their new father. Snape is starting to show signs of remorse but will continue to be a bastard too. At least for the time being. Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed Chapter 7. I am so happy you like the story.
I also wanted to mention that in later chapters James and Albus will finally come to the conclusion that Harry and Snape need each other but it just won’t happen for awhile. When it does, they will be causing all sorts of nice ways to get them together.
Have a Happy Halloween everyone!
