My Hazel Eyed Flower

(Severus's POV)

Pouring the last vial of dreamless sleep, I cap it and set it with the other vials. I pack them all up and point my want to my station. "Scourgify, Wingardium Leviosa." Floating the potions behind me, I make my way up from the potions classroom in the dungeons up to the Hospital wing up on the fourth floor. Just as I'm about to go up the stairs to the fourth floor, I hear McGonagall come behind me.

"Oh Severus! Running potions up to Poppy, good. When you are done join me in my office? I have a favor to ask of you." I turn my head to look at her.

"Of course" I drawl and continue up the stairs. 'What could McGonagall want? We don't get along, so what could that annoying lion want?' I shake my head to clear my thoughts and get back to the task at hand.

When I enter the wing, I look around for Poppy, seeing her mumbling to herself, scratching a quill onto a piece of parchment, looking at the potions cabinet. "Poppy" I say, letting her know I'm here.

"Severus! The dreamless sleep and headache potions? Good, you can just set them there" she says, pointing to a nearby cot. I set the box down and watch as she continues to scribble on the parchment. "Here," she says, handing me the parchment " These should be the last of the potions I need until the students show up and shorten my supply".

Anti-nausea - 40 Vials

Calming draught - 80 Vials

Pain reliever - 50 Vials

Blood-Replenishing - 24 vials

Burn paste - 5 canisters

I nod and leave the hospital wing, putting the list in my pocket after spelling the ink dry. Once on the ground floor I make my way over to McGonagall's office, knocking and entering when I hear a 'come in' from inside.

"Severus, come in. Thank you for joining me, tea?" I shake my head no. "Alright well," she sips her tea. "I have gotten the list of muggle-borns from Albus. There are quite a few more this year than in the past. I was wondering if you would be willing to visit a family or two?"

I internally sigh but sit and ask, "What family am I visiting?" Implying I will only visit one.

"The Wilsons. They live just south of Cheshire. I've done some research on them. Jake and Emma Wilson live in the countryside with their daughter J-Jasmine" she says, sadness flashing through her eyes at the reminder of her two favorite student's daughter.

I swallow thickly, the memory of Lily's letter from all those years ago. Asking him to be their daughter's godfather. 'I never got to meet my goddaughter' I thought sadly to myself. Remembering that Samhain night, her body under a pile of rubble, unmoving like her mother and father. 'Why? Why did that Potter boy have to live? Why couldn't my goddaughter...' I shake my head, clearing my thoughts and emotions. Minerva looking at me with sorrow.

"I shall go now" I say standing up, taking the muggle born informational papers in case, and Jasmine's letter before going down to my chambers and getting ready to leave. With my Jasmine on my mind, I set the papers down and go into a locked drawer in my personal desk, taking out a small box. Opening it up I sigh sadly as I see pictures of me and Lily, back when we were kids. I carefully lifted the photos to get to the bottom, where an envelope in almost perfect condition lay. I carefully grab it and open it. Taking out the small photos and letter. I swallow thickly and start to read.

Dear Sev,

I hope all is well with you, how is your mastery going? James thinks I shouldn't be writing this, safety and all, but how else could I tell you? In the early morning of August 1st we got an unexpected surprise, another child. Along with our son, Harry, I also gave birth to a baby girl. We named her Jasmine. It took a bit of persuasion on my part, but we were wondering if you would like to become Jasmine's godfather. I remember hearing that you are godfather to the Malfoy's child, but we were hoping you would say yes. Inside the envelope are some pictures of Jasmine and Harry for you. I do hope to see you again soon, and hope you can meet the twins.
