Snapes son

chapter one

december 29th 1985

Severus Snape, the potions master at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, the cold, stoic, unemotional teacher who loved giving out detentions and enjoyed watching the children suffer, had a son. a small five year old boy by the name Y/n snape. he was the same age as the famous boy who lived:harry potter. he had the most amazing e/c eyes and h/l, h/c hair, and whilst he may not have the same exact eyes and hair as his father his face very much resembled him, and always had since he was a baby.  and today, on a cold winters morning in hogwarts, him and his father were playing together in the snow. yes, Severus snape was playing, and laughing. Two things that rarely ever happened, and as the students of hogwarts walked around the grounds chatting to eachother, they stopped in shock to see their cold potions master having fun, which stunned them.

Snape didn't care, he ignored the looks and stares he was getting from his students and kept throwing snowballs at his son who was giggling and waddling around in the snow, resembling a penguin or a marshmallow in his thick winter clothes, a fluffy hat,black gloves, brown snow boots, and a thick white snow coat that he basically disappeared in.

3rd person pov:

'papa look' y/n squeals flopping down onto the ground spreading out his legs and arms in a sideways motion, 'i'm making snow angel papa!' Severus laughed looking down at his son as he sprung up to admire his snow angel 'wow that's and amazing snow angel y/n/n' Severus said smiling. 'probrably better than i could ever do' he adds, extending out his hand as y/n laughs nodding his head in agreement 'we should go back inside i don't want you getting a cold' y/n takes his fathers hand 'but papa i want to play more, just five minutes?pleaseeeeeee' he dragged out the end on please looking up with large pleading eyes. 'fine but five minutes only young man' Severus said in a stern but soft tone. he loved spending his days off with his son like this, it was refreshing from spending all day in a dungeon teaching arrogant children a subject he didn't even enjoy that much. 

y/n jumped up and down happily before dragging Severus off to make a snowman. 'snowman snowman snowman!!' he yelled rolling up a large ball of snow waiting for his father to do the same. Severus complied bending down and rolling up a ball of snow that he placed on top of y/n's. 'ok now he needs eyes. papa, eyes' y/n said turning to his dad. Severus nodded 'yes sir' he said in a mock serious voice, turning around and picking up two stones from a patch of grass uncovered from the making of the snowman. he turned back around and handed y/n the stones, as y/n placed them lopsided on the snowmans face. 'y/n/n would you like to go find some sticks for the snowmans arms whilst i get a few more rocks for his mouth?' Severus said as y/n nodded his head before toddling off to get some sticks. y/n waddled back with his sticks as Severus collected more stones holding them out to y/n 'papa no arms first' he said furrowing his eyebrows making Severus laugh as y/n put in the arms turning back around to get the stones 'now mouth papa' Severus nodded handing him the stones before standing back to admire the creation they had made. 'so y/n/n what is his name?' Severus asked placing a hand on the small boys head 'hmmmm marvin. like  auntie minerva.' he smiled. obviously minerva was not actually y/n's aunt, but she acted like one, taking care of y/n sometimes if Severus had to go out on trips or was busy taking detentions.' yes, marvin, i like it. now young man, we must get inside.' Severus said picking y/n up despite his protests as he carried y/n inside, walking straight past the staring students and to his chambers where he sat y/n down on a chair inside. 

y/n changed his clothes as he yawned, already tired by the day even though it was only the morning. 'take a nap y/n' Severus said leading him to his room which was heavily inspired by y/n's two passions, herbology and magical creatures. the wallpaper was a pattern of different poisonous plants with the borders painted a sage green. his bed was wooden with carved phoenix heads on the bed posts as an array of different stuffed animal magical creatures lay sprawled out on his bed. the only other things in his room was a small wooden chest of drawers and a picture of severus holding him as a baby hanging next to a small window.

y/n nodded taking off all his gear to reveal he was wearing a pair of plant themed pj's underneath the snow clothes all that time. he crawled into bed calling to his father.  'papaaa read me a story papa pleaseeeeee' he said shoving a book that read : the tales of beadle and bard up in his fathers face. severus laughed softly pulling a chair from another room into y/n's room before letting y/n get cozy as he began to read...

after y/n had gone to sleep severus took the chair out of the room and made a cup of tea, looking out the small window to the courtyard as he sat content, looking foward to his and y/n's next adventures.

not proof read

okay so, first chapter done. i think i might skip to when y/n is 6 next chapter what do you guys think? should i focus on his younger years before hogwarts more or more-so on his years in hogwarts. also, i have a few good ideas to really twist it later on, but apart from that i dont really know what should go in between so any ideas are welcome! im not sure if later on y/n should have a love interest but if he does, who do you think it should be? keep in mind he is the same age as the golden trio.
