Chapter 35 Oh Baby

Chapter 35 Oh Baby

The next morning was greeted with a new snowfall; the grounds glisten white and sparkly. There were still two more days for the full moon and it would fall this time on a Saturday. Lily sat in her bed gazing out at the new snowfall feeling a bit thankful that all her classes were in door today. Lily dressed in her clothes and walked slowly down to the common room. Lily had half expected to see the boys waiting for her. She was disappointed they were not there.

Lily pushed open the portrait to the crawl through the hole and climbed out of it. Lily walked down the hallway to the stairs leading down to the bottom floors and the Great Hall. Lily loved all the talking pictures of people who had something special to do with the school.

She always greeted them happily as she walked and talked to them about past events that they had witness in the school.

“I’d sure love to have my picture here.” Lily said wistfully as she finished listening to a couple of nuns tell about how they had found the school and were so taken by the magic and charm they had volunteer to take care of students who had become ill and that was how the hospital wing had gotten started.

Lily peeked past the doors to see where the boys were. Lily stood there undecided about whether to sit with them or not.

“You might as well go in.” A soft voice said behind her.

Lily turned to see Snape.

“Sev,” Lily went to hug him then stop short as he was looking over her head at the other students talking and showing things to others.

“Severus?” Lily asked. Before she could say more a fat brown owl landed on her shoulder with its leg out and a thick envelope tied to it.

“Ooh they wrote finally.” Lily cheered as she pulled the package off the scaly leg.

Snape looked at her finally as she open the letter. He was wondering whom was she hoping to have write to her.

“Oooh he is so cute.” She gushed happily her eyes sparkling with joy.

Snape was now glaring at her and the picture she was holding in her hand looking at.

Lily seemed to notice the drop in temperature. “It’s not what you think, here look.” Lily wasn’t sure if he would see his eyes in this baby with her face. She thought he might but she figured it was a good way to see how he’d react. Severus didn’t look right away he stood looking at the Slytherin table.

“Here Sev, look.”

Lily held the picture up to his face forcing him to look.

Snape glanced at the picture to see a laughing baby with dark blackish red hair and black eyes.

“Nice.” Snape looked at her for clarification.

“It’s something I can’t tell you a lot about, not yet at least, if ever.” Lily whispered.

“Fine Miss Evans I’ll see you around.” Snape walked off to his table ignoring her gasp of shock and surprise.

“Sev,” Lily looked sadly after him then took her letter and picture and walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down away from the Marauders’.

              Dear Lily, sorry it has taken so long to write, we’ve been

               so busy now. It has been a joy and the most wonderful

              gift we could have received. Thank you so much for little

               Severus Evans, he is the sunshine in our lives.
