Harry ducked as another spell whizzed by him. He could see Voldemort in his sight now, just beyond the tree. Harry quickly thought back to all he had learned. Moody and Kingsley were great teachers, but it was Severus Snape who taught Harry the most.

They were enemies for the same cause, until Harry raved at the man finally standing up for himself; then refused to talk to the man until Snape could be civil. It took two weeks until Snape would calm down and then talk out the major problems with him. Harry took that night to derail some misconceptions. It took the wind out of the man’s sails.

Slowly Snape became Professor Snape, as Harry learned to respect the man. Then Professor Snape became Severus, as they spent many days together learning from one another and would seek out the other’s company for fun. Then Severus became Sev, as Harry admitted that he like him more than as a friend and they started a slow relationship.

It was last night that Severus and he had consummated their relationship, of over a year. It was last night that Harry decided to fight Riddle today. He did it for Sev, for his love. He hadn’t told anyone he was leaving and had just left this morning after Sev had went back to Hogwarts.

Finally Harry broke through the last few deatheaters. Harry panted as he looked at the man. Voldemort smirked as he lounged against a tree. “Harry Potter, do you truly think you can defeat me?”

Harry smirked, “I know it.”

Voldemort growled, whipped out his wand, and then twirled it in his hand. “Then you are missssstaken, your body will lie at my feet…”

Harry half-heartedly listened to the man’s inane chatter and when Voldemort raised his arms to emphasize something he was saying, and Harry saw his chance. He thrust his wand out and screamed, “AVADA KEDAVRA!” Harry focused on all the love he felt for his Sev, all the hope he found in his arms. A blue colored spell shot from his wand and caught Voldemort unprepared. The man flew back and landed hard on the floor. Pressing a charm that Moody had given him if he was in trouble Harry relaxed.

Five minutes later ten Aurors appeared staring around in shock. Harry smiled tiredly at them and then summoned Voldemort’s wand. “He’s gone.”

Tonks caught him as he stumbled toward them. “Well done Harry, what do you say we get you to Hogwarts huh?”

“‘K,” Harry mumbled as he yawned and let Tonks portkey him away. He felt when they landed and he felt strong arms lifting him up and blearily looked into the worried face of his lover.

When Harry next awoke it was to the sun shining in his face. He groaned and tried to turn away but the sheets were tucked to tight around him. Madame Pomfrey came bustling in right away. “You Mr. Potter, are in so much trouble.”

Harry looked up tiredly at the nurse, “What did I do?”

Madame Pomfrey glared at the man, “You know exactly what you did. Idiotic boy, could have killed both of you.”

Harry looked at the woman deciding to let her rant, but her statement caught his attention. “I was alone! No one was with me!”

The nurse stared at the boy and then paled, “Oh you poor boy you really didn’t know did you?” Harry just gave the woman a curious look. “Oh, Harry dear, you’re pregnant.”

Harry stared at her and then started to laugh. It took five minutes for the laughter to die as he noticed that she wasn’t joking. “BUT I’M A BOY!”

Madame Pomfrey gently patted him on his hand. “I know dear, it is usually discussed in third year, but I think that you may have been in the infirmary at the time.” Madame Pomfrey looked off into the distance, then nodded. She sat on the distressed boy’s bed, “Harry, you need to talk to the father.”

Harry nodded, but on the inside he was scared. He didn’t want to scare Sev, or push him away. But after a moment he calmed himself. Severus had told him he loved him, so he would just be surprised. Madame Pomphrey smiled at him and after checking him over released him, but made him promise to come back tomorrow so they could discuss the options.

Harry slowly made his way down to the dungeons, thankful that classes didn’t start for a week. When he reached the room with snakes intertwined he gently ran his hand over the frame. “Harry Bloody Potter.”

The snakes twisted but the door stayed shut, “I am sorry speaker but the man has changed his password.”

Harry looked confused, “Oh, okay thank you.” Shrugging he knocked on the door, but there was no answer. He waited for five minutes and still no one came. Harry looked once more to the door. “Is he here?”

“No Speaker, he left earlier with many boxes.”

Harry felt fright and tension coil around his chest, and took off at a run for the headmaster’s office. Minerva met him at the bottom. “Harry, the wards told me someone needed me, come along.” She led him up to her office and settled the boy in a chair. “Now tell me what’s wrong.”

Harry looked at her, “Where is Severus?”

Minerva looked at the boy curiously, “He left, he decided to take a year sabbatical. Why?”

“Did he leave me anything?” Harry asked frantically.

“No Harry, calm down and tell me what’s the matter.” Minerva said calmly but forcefully.

Harry stared at her and then shook his head, looking away his thoughts for the moment. “I need to talk to him.”

“Oh, well you can write him a letter and I can give it to him when he comes back. He didn’t give me an address and I don’t know where he went.”

Harry nodded, “Do you have my wand?”

Minerva nodded and dug it out of her robe. “You might want to get Ollivander to remove some of the tracking charms that I know the ministry put on it.”

Harry gave her a curious look. “The ministry?”

Minerva nodded, “Yes, the aurors confiscated your wand and Fudge tried to get you arrested for murder. But the wizgamont overruled it and Fudge is under investigations right now. I doubt the man will be in office for long.”

Harry nodded, “I think I’m going to go talk to Madame Pomfrey and then head out.”

Minerva nodded, “Alright Harry, but know just because you aren’t a student here doesn’t mean you can’t visit.”

Harry nodded and went back to the infirmary, his body and soul was numb. The moment he walked into the hospital wing Madame Pomfrey came out, “Harry?”

Harry looked up at her, his eyes blank. “He… Um… Can you do the examination now?”

Madame Pomfrey nodded and directed the boy to a table, with a flick of her wand his stomach glowed blue then gold. “Good, healthy little baby with strong magic.” Harry gave a weak smile. “Now I want you to see a doctor in about a month or contact me and I will gladly come to you. No apparating, Okay?” Harry nodded and went to her floo then flooed to Grimmauld.

“Sev?!” Harry called, this was his last hope. Maybe the man wanted to spend sometime with him. “SEV?!” nothing. Remus though did appear with his wife behind him.

“Harry! Oh, I’m so glad you’re alright. Are you okay?” Remus asked while hugging him tightly.

Harry started to nod but Tonks saw his dead eyes. “Remus, can I talk to Harry really quick? Have to get his statement and all.” Remus nodded and left the room. Tonks turned to him. “Harry, what’s wrong?”

Harry looked up, “I can’t find Sev.”

Tonks frowned, but noticed that his hand had inched up to his stomach. “Oh Harry.”

“I need to find Sev.” Harry said tears slowly filling his eyes.

Tonks gently pulled the boy into her arms. “Shh Harry, it’s okay.”

Harry shook his head, “I need Sev, please. I need Sev.” He was now crying, sobs shaking his shoulder.

Tonks gently led him to his room. “It’s okay sweetheart. We’ll find him.”

Harry cried himself to sleep that night. He refused to leave his bed except to use the toilet and a quick shower for a week. Tonks only got him to eat once a day, and the rest of the time she spent looking for Severus Snape and cussing him.

It was almost two weeks later that she got a tip, and rushed off. Knocking on the door to a rented villa, she stood waiting. The door opened and there stood Severus Snape in all his snarky glory. “What do you want?”

Tonks took a step back. “Harry, he’s worried about you. He’s barely functioning and he needs to talk to you.”

If Tonks was hoping for any emotion she was let down. Severus sneered. “I’m sure that he will get over it.”

Tonks stared at him. “But, you need-”

Severus took a step forward causing her to step back. “What I need is for you to leave me alone!”

Tonks closed her eyes, “But you-”

Severus stepped back into the door, “Want nothing to do with Mr. Potter ever again.” With that the door was slammed.

Tonks stood staring at the door for a good twenty minutes. She was very close to Harry, he was practically Remus’ child. So now to have to tell him this… No, she won’t she just won’t tell anyone about it. With the decision made she apperated away, never seeing the heart-broken tearful black eyes watching her.

Harry finally snapped out of it, convinced that Severus would write him. He got up and started researching information about male pregnancies. He picked up toys and bought a house. He decorated everything with Severus and his styles in mind, right down to the baby’s room. Poppy, as she now allowed herself to be called, came by once a month for four months and did checks. Harry now knew that he was having a boy, and could feel him move every now and then. On the fifth month Poppy starting coming twice a month, and Harry started to realize that Severus wasn’t going to write him.

Tonks came by shortly after Poppy left and smiling ran into find out about the baby. Harry was staring sadly out the window and Tonks froze, “Harry?”

Harry turned and looked at her, tears were once more on his eyes. “He’s not going to come is he? He’s not going to write?”

Tonks felt her heart jump in her throat, and she slowly shook her head no. Harry turned out to window at the January snow. After a few moments he went over and handed her a black journal. “Remus…. Remus, might like this. I was planning on giving it to S- Professor Snape, but his Grandfather might like it more.”

Tonks gently took the book and clutched it to her chest. “Harry, please come over? Stay a few days with us?”

Harry shook his head. “Right now I think I want to be alone. I’ll floo you in a few days.”

Tonks gently nodded and after a quick hug left, but didn’t go home. She stalked to the end of the wards and apperated to Severus’ villa. She pounded on the door, not stopping until it was yanked open. The man opened his mouth to scream when Tonks shoved the book into his chest. “Happy Christmas you bastard.” Then apperated away.

Severus Snape, was not optimistic, he was a realist. So when he fell in love with Harry Potter he knew that one day his heart would be broken. After Harry had given him his freedom, and he was sure that he was alright, he decided that he didn’t want to wait for the heartbreak. Best to get it over with now, he told himself. So he packed up his things and took a sabbatical, no one knew where he was. So he was shocked when Tonks showed up at his door. And his heart was screaming for Harry when he found that his love wanted him. But denied it and told her off, hoping to get the boy to give up and over him.

But that was almost six months ago, and now that little tart had once more showed up at his door. When he opened it to tell her off she throws a book at him and calls him a bastard. But he doesn’t dispute it, he’s been called worse. He closed the door and went into his dining room, the book still in his arms. Sitting down he stared at it and then picked it up.

Curiosity made him anxious so he cracked the first page and found a picture of a sadly smiling Harry. He was about to slam the book shut when some writing caught his eyes.

Tonks told me that sometimes people write to their unborn babies, so that they know what they went through to be born. I have am writing two books one for our baby, and one for you. I hope that I find you soon, but at the moment I will write everything that is going on.

It was a shock to me to wake up in the infirmary and find out that I was pregnant. I thought Madame Pomfrey was making a joke, I didn’t even know men could conceive. But after some explanations I ran off to tell you, but couldn’t find you. Professor McGonagall told me you took a sabbatical so I will wait for a letter.

At the moment I can’t tell you anything, we have a healthy and powerful baby. I went to Grimmauld until I could find you or think things through.

I love you,
Harry

Severus’ very being froze, he was going to be a father. Harry was carrying his baby. He quickly flipped through the books watching as a bump started to show slightly, every now and then reading a passage. He found out that Harry bought a house for them, that he had decorated the baby’s room in soft greens and pale blues, and that Harry was still hoping for him to write.

He finally came to the last page. Harry was crying but would give a pained smile every few seconds.

I guess that you won’t come. It was silly of me to hope. I’m going to give the book to Remus, our baby’s grandfather would like it. We’re going to have a son you know, a beautiful baby boy. I… I will never stop loving you Severus ever. Tonks and Remus will take good care of our baby. Maybe when he goes to Hogwarts, if you go back, you can get to know him. Tell him about me, I don’t think I can raise him on my own. The Weasley’s won’t talk to me, calling me a whore. I can’t…

I love you, Always
Harry.

Severus’ heart had frozen with the letter, he was planning on giving up after the baby was born. OVER HIS DEAD BODY! Severus grabbed his cloak and apperated to Hogwarts, ignoring the students and teachers calling for him. He ran right into the infirmary. “Take me to him!”

Madame Pomfrey looked up from her desk, “Severus Snape, what in the hell has gotten into you?!”

Severus just grabbed the woman’s arms. “Fear. Now take me to Potter!”

Madame Pomfrey just wrenched her arm out of Severus’ grip and walked over to the Floo. “Slithering Snakes, Meadow Place,” she called out after throwing in the floo.

Severus practically jumped into the fireplace. He caught himself as he appeared in a medium size cottage. He was in the kitchen with a large dining room table, he went through the swinging door to find a living room decorated in warm greens and dark browns. He bounded up the stairs and opened every door. He stared at the baby room for all of two minutes before he opened the last room on the hall.

In the middle of a four poster bed slept Harry. His stomach was easy to outline and though his skin was glowing Severus could make out tear tracks. He stared for a few moments. What was he supposed to say? What could he do to make it right? But Harry awoke before he could make a choice. Sleepy green eyes blinked at him, “Sev?”

Severus gently walked forward and knelt by the bed, “We need to talk Harry.”

Harry nodded and dragged himself out of bed. Severus went down to the living room to wait. It was a few moments later that Harry appeared. His pajamas were baggy but showed off his stomach. “Sev, I… Where did you go?”

Severus motioned him into a chair. He stared at Harry for a long moment then sighed and looked down. “I know what I am Harry.” Harry was looking at him curiously. “I also know what you are, or more to the fact who.” The boy was still confused. “I know that one day you will grow tired of me and leave me for someone younger, more handsome. So I decided to get over it quickly.”

Now he understood, Harry stared at him in hurt shock, “You left me, because of you thought I would.”

Severus scowled, “I don’t think Harry I know.”

Harry grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “NO YOU DON’T! I LOVE YOU, I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN INTIMATE WITH YOU IF I WASN’T HOPING FOR FOREVER AND THINKING YOU COULD GIVE IT TO ME!”

Severus lowered his head, “I… I just-”

Harry was crying again, but this time in anger. “You Prick. I was worried that you were kidnapped; that you were being tortured; I’ve had Tonks and Remus looking for you for months now!”

Severus almost felt like crying himself. “I know Harry. I know, but I want to make it right I want you back. Please I can’t live with out you.”

Harry stared at the man, judging him. “It’s going to take more than an apology Severus Snape. We have to start over again. But first I want you to answer me truthfully.” Severus looked up at him. “If we get back together again, can you trust me? Will you stop your assumptions?”

Severus nodded. “Yes Harry please. I want to be there for you and the babe.”

Harry was silent for a long moment, “You can sleep in the guest room at the other end of the hall. Tonks is coming over tomorrow, and then we can talk.”

Severus nodded, “Let me go to where I was staying and then I’ll come back.” Harry nodded and Severus apperated away. When he showed up at the villa Tonks was standing on his stoop. Severus walked up to her, “Thank you.”

Tonks scowled at him, “You don’t deserve this after what you did. You hurt him again and I swear Azkaban will look pleasant.”

Severus nodded and retrieved the book. “Don’t-”

“I will try to imagine that you got smart on your own.”

Severus nodded and summoned all of his belongings, packing them and shrinking them quickly. He gathered his things and popped away. Tonks fell against the door and sighed, ‘Please God, just do this for Harry. He needs him.’

The next day came and Severus and Harry decided that it would be best if they slowly started the process over again. They started spending time together and Severus would cook for them at every opportunity. Touching was a little awkward now, but Harry would grab his hand and place it over the baby’s foot. They talked about schools and the future. But Severus didn’t want to think of the future until his was set in stone with Harry.

Tonks came by every day at first, making sure that Severus wasn’t hurting him. She also told him of what had been going on since he left. All of the Weasleys’, except the twins, had turned against Harry, refusing to acknowledge his presence, because he wouldn’t marry Ginny. The twins came by once or twice a month, and tried to cheer up him up and then left. Remus came by every other evening except for the week of the full moon. Fudge was still trying to get Harry arrested, but his days in office were numbered, literally to thirty.

Severus started dating Harry, something that neither of them had done before. Severus made meals for Harry and took him out to Muggle London, with glamours of course. Severus found himself happy that he came back, but knowing that he didn’t deserve it. Poppy came by and when she found out about him being the father berated him for well over an hour. Severus sat and took it knowing the she had the right to yell.

Harry was now six months and was craving weird foods, like peanut butter pickles. Dobby, who had started working for Harry without his approval, was often trying to figure out what he would crave next. Severus though would jump up and rush off to muggle London to get the coke or gummy worms that he craved.

Harry was thinking, he had just sent Sev off for his craving off Red Hots. He knew that he loved Sev, he had never stopped, but he was still hurt. He needed to know that he wouldn’t leave again, and only one thought came to mind. The only problem was that he didn’t want to trap Severus into something he wasn’t ready for. Harry sighed and laid back on the couch.

Tonks came bounding in the room, “Where’s my little grand-godson? Nope still sounds weird.”

Harry chuckled, “Hi Tonks.”

Tonks smiled, “Oh there you are Harry.” She noticed the look in his eyes. “Okay spill what has got you looking like that?”

Harry gave a sheepish smile, “You know me too well.” Tonks just stared at him expectantly. “I don’t know what I should do?”

Tonks sat beside the couch, “With what?”

Harry sighed and explained how he was feeling. “I want permanent, but I don’t want Sev to feel like I trapped him.”

Tonks sighed, “I don’t know what to tell you Harry. You can ask him, or wait for him to ask you.”

Harry sighed, “I guess you’re right… So what did you do think of the Puddemore’s chances?”

Dobby smiled and quietly popped away to where he knew his Master Harry’s Snapey was.

Severus smiled as he reached his street and began the trek home. He didn’t want to apperate, thinking that Harry may want a few moments alone. But before he could take one more step a house-elf popped in front of him, Severus looked down, “What can I do for you Dobby?”

Dobby grabbed his ears, “I know what make Master Harry very happy, but he’s afraid you say no.”

Severus looked at the bag in his hand, did Harry not want this anymore. “What does he want Dobby?”

Dobby pulled on his ears. “Dobby shouldn’t tell you, Dobby shouldn’t have listened.”

Severus grabbed the elf by the ears before he could harm himself. “Well you did, so tell me what he said.”

Dobby squirmed, “Master Harry wants permanent, but doesn’t want you to feel trapped.” Dobby gave a large smile that he remembered. “That’s what Dobby heard Master Harry tell Mrs. Wolf.”

Severus smiled, “Thank you Dobby, don’t worry I won’t tell that you told me.” Dobby gave a large smile and popped away. Severus looked at the bag in his hand and then apperated to Gringotts.

Harry sighed and looked at the clock. Severus had been gone for three hours now, Harry was starting to get worried. Right before he was about to head out and look for him the door opened. Harry ran straight into Sev’s arms. Severus tightened his arms around the pregnant man in his arms. “Harry?”

Harry sniffled, all the while cursing hormones. “You’ve been gone a long time.”

Severus looked up and frowned, “I’m sorry Harry. I had an errand to run while I was out. I got you a present.”

Harry’s eyes got wide and held out his hand, Severus chuckled. Harry was always a sucker for gifts. He pulled out a slim long box and handed it to Harry. A confused look is what he got in return, but Harry quickly opened it. “Oh it’s beautiful Sev.”

Severus smiled and pulled out that necklace that had the Snape family crest on it. “I have one just like it.” Here he pulled out a slightly larger necklace from under his shirt. “They have a special feature.”

Harry looked at the chain, “What?” Severus smiled and walked behind Harry, fastening the chain around his neck. Harry’s eyes widened when small words filled his mind, ‘Love you, Harry. Always love you.’ “Sev, I can hear you in my head.”

Severus chuckled, “That is one of its features. I got it so you can always talk to me. It reaches any distance.”

Harry’s eyes lit up, “Really?” Severus nodded and Harry flew into his arms. “Thank you Sev.” Severus smiled and wrapped his arms fully around Harry. After a few seconds Harry started to wiggle and looked up at him with big eyes, “I still want my candy.”

Severus laughed and picked the bag up from where he had dropped it on the floor. “Here you are love.” Harry smiled and plucked the candy out of his hands.

It was two days later that Harry was sitting in the living room trying to narrow down names for the baby when Severus’ voice entered his head. ‘Marry my Harry. I want to marry my Harry, then we can be a family.’ Harry’s eyes watered and he smiled widely, Sev wanted forever too.

That night as they went to bed Harry couldn’t sleep and went to see if Severus was still awake. “Sev?”

The man groaned and twisted on the bed, “Harry? What’s wrong?”

Harry huffed, “Your son is restless.”

Severus sat up and chuckled, “Poor Harry, do you want to come lay with me?”

Harry shook his head, “No, come with me?”

Severus smiled and followed the man into his bedroom. Harry crawled under the covers and Severus laid on top. Harry felt for the man but encountered sheets, “What are you doing?”

“I’m not going to be forward Harry.”

Harry sighed, “I’m pregnant with your child and I want to cuddle you in the hopes that your child will calm. Now get under the damn covers.” Severus chuckled but compiled and Harry cuddled as close as he could with his stomach. “Better.”

Severus smiled and hesitantly brought his hand up to caress Harry’s stomach, causing the younger man to sigh. “You okay Harry?”

Harry nodded, “Feels good.”

Severus smiled, then smiled wider when he felt his son kick. “Now you calm down young man it’s time for bed, and your daddy wants to rest.” He got an answering kick and then Harry sighed.

“Not even born and he’s already following your orders.”

Severus chuckled, “Well at least he’ll learn early.”

Harry smiled and yawned, “Night Sev.”

Severus kidded Harry’s forehead, “Night love.”

The next morning Severus was working on the numbing potion that would be needed when Harry went into Labor when a loud crash was heard throughout the cottage. Severus quickly bound up the stairs and saw a large hole in the side of the cottage. Harry was lying against a wall and huddled around his stomach. Severus ran over to his love and began to try to wake him. “Harry? Harry, Wake up Luv. Come on let me see those green eyes of yours.” When he could not hear or see any sign of the young man waking up he tried through the necklaces, ‘Harry love, I need you to answer me.’

‘Sev, what’s going on?’

Severus could feel the panic in Harry voice. ‘I don’t know, are you hurt?’

‘I can’t move.’

‘Shh, Love, I’m going to get Poppy. I want her to check you out.’ Severus tried to calm his love. He scooped Harry up and gently laid him on the bed of the closest room and ran to the floo. “Hogwart’s infirmary!” As soon as it was safe enough Severus threw his head into the floo calling for Poppy.

The matron bustled into the room, “Severus, what’s wrong?”

“There was an explosion of some sort and now Harry can’t move, or open his eyes. You need to come through now!”

Madame Pomfrey ran to her office and came back out in no time. “Get out of the floo.” Severus did so and a moment later she was standing in front of the man. “Show me to him.”

Severus practically ran to the bedroom, barely hearing Madame Pomfrey’s gasp at the large hole in the wall. When she showed him to room she quickly went to Harry. Her wand glowed several colors and Severus was alarmed to hear the woman curse. “Severus, did you finish the numbing potion?” Severus paled as the implications of what needed to happen went into his head and nodded. “Then go get it.”

Severus ran down the stairs to pour a vial of it and ran back up to hand it to Poppy. The nurse covered Harry’s stomach in the potion and Severus cold hear Harry’s frantic voice. ‘Sev, what’s going on? Why is doing to my stomach? The baby’s not due for another month and a half?’

Severus walked over and gently grabbed Harry’s hand, ‘Shh, Love , it’s okay. We’re not going to let anything happen to the baby.’ Severus turned to Poppy, “Why are you taking the baby now?”

Poppy focused on her spell work before she answered, mainly muttering to herself. “Normally magic keeps things like this from happening, but it does happen.”

Severus was confused, and paled as he watched Poppy gently cut into Harry’s stomach. “What happened?”

Poppy didn’t answer to focuses on getting out the baby. A few moments later a blue baby was pulled from Harry’s stomach, Poppy quickly cut the umbilical cord and then Severus noticed that it was wrapped around the baby’s neck. Poppy quickly untangled the cord and then cast the spells to clear the baby’s airways. Both of them sighed in relief when the baby let out a giant cry. Poppy wrapped the baby in a blanket and handed the little bundle to Severus who smiled. Madame Pomfrey began to close Harry up, casting cleansing spells to make sure that an infection wasn’t given.

Severus could feel Harry prodding at his mind, demanding answers, and Severus sent him a picture of the little one. When Madame Pomfrey was done she turned to the father and swiftly took back the baby, causing Severus to growl at the woman. “Tend to Harry while I give him an examination.”

Severus turned to his love and after a few moments confused green eyes opened to him. “Where is he?”

Severus smiled and gently leaned forward to kiss him on the forehead. “Madame Pomfrey’s giving him an exam, you’ll get him in a moment. What happened? What was the explosion?”

Harry’s eyes burned, “I was sitting on the couch when I felt someone watching me, when I looked up I saw Fudge. He waved and then I saw him throw that curse, I had enough time to cast a shield on myself then I couldn’t move.”

Severus’ eyes darkened, no one hurt his family. Before he could go charging off like some heroic Gryffindor Madame Pomfrey gently laid the babe in Harry’s arms. “More than likely the explosion is what caused it then.” Both men gave her a curious look. “Oh, right well this little’s one umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. The spell to fix it wasn’t working at that is what caused me to get him out now.”

Harry looked down into blue eyes and smiled, “But he’s okay now, right?”

Madame Pomfrey nodded, “Yes he should be fine. I’m going to go call Tonks and Shacklebolt, any one else?”

Severus nodded, “The wolf.”

Madame Pomfrey chuckled and left. Severus stared down at his two loves and smiled. “Harry, love?” Green eyes looked up at him happily. “Would you bond with me?”

Harry’s smile grew wider and he gently leaned up for a kiss. “Love you.”

Severus smiled, “Love you too.”

Nothing more was said for a while to each other as they were quickly bombarded.

Epilogue

“Cornelius Fudge, we have seen evidence today of your attack on Harry Potter, would you like to change your plea?”

The man in shackles shook his head so hard the shackles rattled. “It was for the good of the wizarding community. EVERYONE THINKS THAT THAT BOY IS THE NEXT MERLIN! I WON’T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.”

Someone sighed and a silencing spell was thrown over the man. “Thank you Mr. Potter-Snape.” Severus nodded. “Now then the Wizgamont will deliver the verdict in a moment.”

Harry sighed as he silencing shield went up and cuddled into his husband’s side. “How much longer?”

Severus chuckled, “Aaric is fine Harry.”

Harry turned wide green eyes on his husband. “And how do you know?”

Severus smiled, “He is at our house, which has been placed under so many wards Remus practically knock on them to get in. He is with his grandparents and godfathers, all of which he has wrapped around his little finger.”

Harry scowled at the reasoning, “Yeah, well.”

Severus sighed and leaned down to kiss the top of Harry’s head. “Remember the first time we left him alone with the family love? Everything was fine.”

Harry smiled as he thought of it, two and a half months after giving birth. Severus had arranged for them to get bonded in the backyard. Aaric was lying in Tonk’s arms as Severus and Harry met under the ivy arch. Minerva happily officiated the ceremony. The vows were taken and bonding bracelets placed. Aaric giggled happily as the magic washed over the crowd. Severus and Harry turned and waited for the traditional blessing of the guests and the Harry swooped down to get his son. Tonks had grumbled at the boy, but Harry was too busy cooing at their son.

Aaric’s eyes were a mixture of his father’s, when he was sad, upset, angry, sulking, his eyes were black. When he was happy, imaginative, active, his eyes were green. Severus and Harry were happy to notice that his eyes stayed mainly green. Severus had arranged to take Harry to fancy hotel in Muggle London, but Harry was reluctant to leave Aaric alone. Finally Remus dug out a set of mirror, similar to the ones that Sirius had given him, Harry agreed to go. Once at the hotel Harry called Remus every twenty minutes, until Severus hid the mirror. Even then Harry made them rush home at eight-thirty the next morning.

The men were jostled out of their memories when a gavel banged. “Cornelius Fudge, you are found guilty of assault and attempted murder. You have been sentenced to thirty-five years in prison. Take him away.”

After the man was led from the room Harry hopped up and drug Severus to the nearest apperation point. Without a glance at his husband, Harry apperated away, leaving Severus to follow. By the time that Severus got home Harry was sitting in his favorite chair in the living room, rocking and cooing to Aaric. Severus was forced to pause for a moment to view his family. Everything about them was perfect, and he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with them.
