Severus tore up yet another letter without looking at the content of it. He only has to see the same and the over fancy seal of it to know who it was.

It had been about a year since that happened. That.

He threw the letter into the fireplace where it burnt up, swallowed by the flame in both the fireplace and his eyes.

Distinct pieces of the letter flew out of the fireplace.

Would..... Godfather...... ... Draco........ Please...........

The little piece read. At least, that is what it's remained of.

Again. All week he had been getting letters from Lucius

Please come back Severus

I miss you Severus

I wasn't thinking right

All letters end in one sentence.

Would you consider being Draco's godfather?

Draco, Draco Lucius Malfoy. The son of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa.... Malfoy.

He hated thinking of Narcissa as a Malfoy. He could have been there, where she was, he could have been a Malfoy, he could have lived in luxury instead of this little, dirty house in Spinners End.

As much as he doesn't want to admit, he still loves Lucius, not all of his things, unlike Narcissa. He won't spend all of the Malfoy family vault for some fancy parties every week, unlike Narcissa.

He had applied for the Potions professor position at Hogwarts.

Maybe that will help with his money situations. That might sound weird, but it's not.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

Severus landed in the Leaky Cauldron fireplace in a blur of smoke and dust. He have to get more potion ingredients.

Again.

Maybe he should use less of those.

As he moved through the people at Diagon alley, towards his destination, he spotted someone, someone looking so very familiar.

A little boy, blonde haired, gray eyed. Pointing at the newest broom on display. Talking to someone he cannot see.

"Father! Can I get this broom?!" He asked excitedly.

"Not now Draco, maybe when you are older" Whoever he was talking to laughed.

Draco!

The all too familiar laugh.

The flash of platinum blond hair.

Lucius !

Severus staired in absolute shock at the two, NoNononononononono!!!

And unfortunately, Lucius decided to just turn around at that exact moment.

He still looks like Lucius, but perhaps even more handsome. Lucius' mouth dropped open the moment he saw Severus.

He ran towards him, "Severus !! I can't believe it's you!" he shouted.

Before Severus could react though. Lucius' arms were around him and his lips were also on his.

Severus pushed him away. Half shocked half... not really.

"Who is that? Father?" a small voice asked.

"Oh this? This is your godfather, Severus"
