Weeping Potions

Chapter 1

"Lupin. Do you think I'll be a good father?" Severus asked, as Remus glanced at him, before looking back at the sky.

Severus and Remus were at the tree facing the Black Lake. Severus sat against the tree with a potions book, with Remus laying on the ground watching clouds.

"You got accepted to be a Potions Teacher here at Hogwarts. That's a big achievement for a squib. If anyone deserves to by a parent it's you, Sev." Remus said, as Severus sets the book down.

"You think so?" Severus asked, and Remus nods, as he turned his head to look at Severus.

"I know so and Lily smelt off. Like another scent appeared. I thought it was you for a moment there. I could be wrong." Remus said, as Severus looks down at his book.

"Well well. If it isn't Snape the squib." Severus looks beside him to see James, Sirius, and Lily walking up.

"Knock it off, James." Lily said, giving him a glare. James shrugged.

"I'm getting married to my Lily and she's pregnant! Unlike you, Snape. I get to be a father." James said, smugly, as Severus tightens his grip on the book. Remus growled.

"Watch it, Potter." Remus said. James frowns.

"What's with you, Moony? Defending a snake, is not like you." James said, Remus sighs, before sitting up.

"I think we should get going. Severus was making me a potion." Remus said, as he stood up. Severus got up, as Remus walks over to James. Remus place a hand on his shoulder. James winced from Remus's nail poking the backside of his shoulder.

"Congratulations, Prongs. I hope you have a happy family." Remus said, as he stared down at James. James could see something in Remus's eyes, but it went away as Remus turns to Lily.

"Lily. I wish you the best for you and your kid. We'll see you later, yes?" Remus asked, and Lily smiles. Sirius looks between his friends, seeing they might know something he doesn't.

"Oh! Yes. I'll see you two later for a drink. We can talk later." Lily said, as Remus nodded, before leaving with Severus.

"Is there something I'm missing?" Sirius asked, confused.

......

....

..

Severus gasps as he sat up. Serevus took a moment to calm himself before sighing as he threw the blanets off him.

"Why that memory. Nothing, but a painful reminder of the night." Severus said, before humming as he looks around. A knock at his bedroom door got a growl from him.

"What?!" Severus snapped. The person behind it, sighs, before opening it.

"Just came to get my potion. Bad dream again?" Remus asked, as he opens the door, letting in the light from the hallway. Severus scowls, as he got up.

"It's nothing. Your potion is on the shelf in the living room. I got to go to the school now. Dumbledore wanted to ask me something." Severus said, as Remus nods.

"Ok then. Is it about my godson? You know there could still be the possibility that-." Remus started to say, but was cut off.

"That Potter's boy is not my child. What you told me made sense back then, but I still don't think he's mine." Severus said, as he scowled. Remus shrugs before turning around and walking out of the bedroom, as he closed the door. Severus looks at the door, and lets out a sigh, before changing clothes.

Severus walks into the living room just as Remus walks out into the backyard. Remus waves at him before jumping from the backyard, over the fence, and into the woods. Severus shook his head and grabs some floo powder.

"Headmaster's Office!" Severus called out as he threw the powder into his fireplace. The fire lit up green and Severus steps through.

"Severus, my boy! Thank you for coming. Would you like a lemon drop?" Dumbledore asked, as Severus shook his head, seeing Mcgonagall and Pomfrey, just leaving the office.

"Thank you, but I'm good. What was it that you needed me for?" Severus asked, as he took a seat in front of Dumbledore. Dumbledore hums, as he picks out a lemon drop and eats it.

"You know about the passing of the Potters and that I gave to the boy to his closest relative. I would like you to go and check on the boy." Dumbledore said. Severus scowls, hearing Dumbledore mention his dear friend's death, so casually.

"And why would I do that? Shouldn't you be checking on the boy?" Severus asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah. Nevermind that. You'll go check on the boy and report to me about how's good he's being treated. Off you go now." Dumbledore said, as waved his hand before he looks down at the papers. Severus frowns and got up. He turned around and walked out of the office.

...

.

"Professor Snape! Do you have a moment?!" Severus groans in his mind as he turns around to see Mcgonagall walking up to him.

"Did you need something Mcgonagall? I'm forced to see Potter's boy for whatever reason." Severus said.

"I'll be joining you since you can't apparate. I would like to see the young Potter myself." Mcgonagall said, as Severus turns on his heel.

"Lets make this quick then." Severus said, as he and Mcgonagall walk down the hallway.

...

..

.

Severus and Mcgonagall stare up at the house.

"Now then. We just need to see how the boy is. I believe he would 5. Do try and not be so rude, Professor." Mcgonagall said, as Severus scowls. Mcgonagall and Severus walks up to the door. Mcgonagall raised her hand to knock before they both heard muffled yelling, a loud thud, and a woman screaming.
