Severus stood with his grandparents, Harry and the children in Hogwarts' entrance. Today was the day he would finally meet the rest of the family, his two uncles with their partners and Selina, the adopted daughter of his younger uncle.
It was shortly after breakfast and it won't be long for the visitors to arrive. Severus was nervous. Sure his grandparents had told him, there would be no reason to be worried, that his uncles were looking forward to finally meet him, but still, he was the child of a sister, who had almost killed her oldest brother. The thought let him flinch inwardly.
An arm was wrapped around his waist and a kiss on his temple let his body relax a little. Severus wasn't sure when he became so stiff. The fear to be rejected, no matter what his grandparents claimed, wouldn't leave him.
Severus had already felt their arrival a few minutes ago, as they had entered the wards and it didn't take long when a carriage stopped a few feet away from them. Seconds later the door was opened and four adults and a small girl in some fine robes got out.
Sebastian and Valerius walked over and greeted them, while Severus still stood at the entrance, taking in the appearance of this family, which was now also his. Harry and the kids stayed on his side, also watching the group, which now started to head their way.
His uncles were big, was one of the first thing Severus thought. He truly was the smallest among these giants and definitely slimmer. Both had the Prince black hair, though it seems lighter than Severus' own. Alexander looked like a mirror to Valerius, meanwhile Tiberius had some traits from Sebastian, but Severus was sure he looked a lot as his passed grandmother. Valerius had shown him some pictures from her.
Before he knew what happened, he was pulled into two tightly hugs. He even had noticed that Harry let go of him and stood now a feet away with his kids, looking amused.
"Severus, meet your uncles, Alexander and Tiberius.", laughed Sebastian.
"Nice to meet you", came the muffled voice from Severus, whose face was held against a hard chest. "Ca-cannot br-breath."
"Let him go boys. We didn't lose him, just for you to strangle him. Otherwise Nagini might also bite you.", snickered Sebastian.
Severus was released from his uncles' hold and took some deep breaths.
"Sorry, but father and dad had told us what happened and how close it was. We never knew Eileen had a boy, but we're sorry what you had gone through. To finally meet you is everything we could think about since we heard about you.", explained Alexander.
"Let us introduce you to ours partners, before we continue.", intervened Tiberius. "This is my husband, Maximilian, and our little daughter Selina."
"And that's my wife Lisa."
"Nice to meet you, Severus. And who are this cuties over there?", gently asked Lisa.
Severus turned his gaze to Harry and than down to his kids, who both stood behind Harry's legs, shyly staring at the newcomers.
"Come on you two. It would be rude, if we don't greet our visitors properly." Harry nudged both to walk forward. Hesitant, Silvana and Timothy stepped forward and bowed slightly while introducing themselves as Silvana Slytherin Prince, Heir of the noble House of Slytherin and Timothy Prince, before moving to Severus and wrapping their arms around his legs.
Harry shook his head in amusement before introducing himself.
"Oh? Peverell and Slytherin, huh." Alexander stared at Harry in wonderment.
"Yes. Let me tell you it was a shock to me at first. I got the title, because I defeated the Dark Lord while I was still a baby. I'm sure you know the story. Silvana is my heir, not only because of who her sire is, but because she's my daughter as well. We didn't talk about it yet, but if Severus and the kids agree, I want to make a blood-adoption."
