Helping And Loving [√]

Over the next few weeks, the three got into a sort of routine. Severus would always be up first and make breakfast, and Harry would wake up a little later and get Skye ready for his day before they all sat down to breakfast. Skye was placed in his office playpen, where Severus had every protective monitor and charm around it. They would check in on him throughout the day and then meet in Severus's quarters, where Harry would make lunch. For Dinner, it was whoever got their first that would make it. Most of the time, it was Severus since his office and classroom were close by.

This evening was different, though; Harry was on his way down when he saw Draco running toward him. "Harry, Dumbledore is in the classroom with Uncle Sev; he said Skye was fussing and was going to check on him, but before he could, Dumbledore came in. I tried to enter the office from the hall, but the door shocked me," the blonde said, and Harry took off rushing down the hall. He got to the classroom door and paused.

He opened the classroom door and entered, "Oh, sorry, Professor, I'm here for my detention," He lied, and Severus gave him a brief look of appreciation before it disappeared.

"Potter," Severus sneered, and Harry felt a shiver run down his spine, "Wait for me in the office. I'll be with you shortly to discuss your punishment," He said, and Harry nodded before he walked over to the door that attached the office to the classroom and slipped through quickly so Dumbledore couldn't see in the office.

He locked the door behind him and then opened the door that led to the hall allowing Draco in, "Take Skye and go to your father; I have a feeling Dumbledore won't be leaving quickly this evening," Harry said, going over to the fussing Baby and picking him up, he handed him over to Draco just as the door knob started to turn.

Draco quickly exited the room; Harry waved his wand, and the playpen disappeared just as Severus entered with Dumbledore behind him. "Harry, " Dumbledore said as his eyes flashed around the room. "I was just telling Severus how quiet Voldemort has been since the school year started, and that isn't a good thing," the ancient man said, and Harry frowned.

"Shouldn't it be a good thing though? He isn't constantly attacking us, which means that the other student and I can focus on our studies and have a somewhat normal school year," Harry said, and Dumbledore huffed.

"Harry, my boy, you are missing the point," The hideously dressed man said, "He is plotting, and we should be too," He exclaimed a bit forcefully before seeming to catch himself.

"I'm sure you are right, Dumbledore, but it's late right now; surely this could wait till morning," Severus said, "Or tomorrow, as it is a weekend," he tried to persuade the man.

"No, it must be down now. I have already called a few Order members, and they should be arriving any minute; both of you will come with me, and we shall come up with a plan," he said before walking to the door and opening it, leading both of them out of the office and up to his own, where they spent most of the night plotting.
