93. Catch Me

~4 years later~

"Aria Snape!"

"Oh boy here we go." Harry murmured.

"Slytherin!"

Aria squealed running to her table of fellow green robed students. Lilith chuckled from the head table.

"Thanks for being here." Lilith added.

"She would have never let me live it down if i wasnt." Harry countered.

"You have cup practice tomorrow right? Maybe we come and embarrass you with our cheering." Severus suggested.

"I would like that." Harry agreed as his phone buzzed. "Its draco."

"Get it." Severus assured. "You saw your sister get sorted if she is anything like you she will be making friends already and getting into trouble just as quickly."

"Sorry about that." Harry grinned.

"Thank you for coming baby, i will walk you out." Lilith added wrapping an arm around him as they made their way through the great hall. Aria jumped up waving at them. Lilith verred off the path to kiss her head.

"My little slytherin. Im so proud of you honey."

"More proud than when harry got in Gryffindor?" Aria sassed.

"You little-" harry reached out ruffling her hair.

"Watch it!" Aria sassed swatting a hand at him.

"Alright sweetheart i will be right back. Say bye to your brother."

"Bye dork." Aria agreed sitting back down.

"Bye dweeb." Harry countered. Arias brow furrowed as she stared up at him.

"Okay enough name calling." Lilith instructed leading harry out.

"You know she loves it when i torment her." Harry reminded his mother.

"I do." Lilith confirmed.

"I kind of miss hogwarts." Harry admitted glancing back at the school main hall smelling the feast.

"Come back anytime Mr big shot." Lilith assured.

"Once the competitions are done but the season im taking a position here." Harry informed her. Liliths jaw dropped

"My baby? Working beside me?"

"Headmaster Dumbeldore offered me the position of Quidditch coach and referee. I know it's silly to go from playing professional to coaching at howarts but..." harry shrugged. " how else am I gonna get to boss aria around?"

"Oh honey! Thats wonderful!"

Plus ginny still has one year left so..."

"It gives you time to spend with your girlfriend." Lilith agreed. " but no funny business she's still in school."

"I know mum." Harry assured. "I like her."

"And i make fun of him constantly for it. A weasley." Draco scoffed. "I call and you dont answer. Come on man." Draco declared. "We got practice to get to and women to woo."

"I have a girlfriend." Harry corrected.

"A weasley. Its despicable." Draco half teased nudging him along. "Bye Ms Lilith- oi you coming to practice tomorrow?"

"I certainly am." Lilith agreed. "Cheering on my favorite boys."

"Alright I will keep this one out of trouble." Draco winked.

"Night mum. Give dad a hug for me." Harry called out as draco dragged him along. "See you tomorrow!"

"Night boys!" Lilith called out.

Severus smiled as lilith hugged him. "Thats from harry." She whispered before hugging him again. "And thats from me."

Severus smiled reaching out for lilith as she took a step back, the children already clearing out to get settled into their chambers. Aria was laughing with a group of girls she had befriended as they headed to the dungeons.

"Where are you going Lilith?"

"To bed." Lilith purred. "Catch me."
