Chapter 37 Hugging Confusion

After this day, James said nothing and Lily waited for him to talk to her. Lily also wondered if she’d ever get the chance to talk with Snape he too seemed to avoid her.

Lily was unsure what to do and if she should ask James how he was feeling about the baby and if she should force Snape to talk to her and tell him about his son.

Lily so far had done neither. Life was to confusing right now.

It had been a month since it had all happen and the holidays were over with when another owl had shown up for her. Lily took the letter and opened it. There were three more pictures of her baby he was sitting now and looked as though he was very well taken care.

                  Hello Lily, little Severus Evans is starting to walk and is very active.

                 We can hardly keep up with him. He just loves playing with the toy cauldron.

                 We hope everything is going fine for you.

                  The Johnsons.

Lily smiled as she looked at the pictures. Lily had tucked the letter into her pocket and shows no one the pictures. Lily figured it was best to keep some things quiet and figured she’d show them to Dumbledore, McGonagall and Pomfrey later.

The weather was still bitterly cold as she walked to her class the halls were so cold that their breath was fine mist in the air as they talked and breathed.

Lily walked into the classroom very pleased to see a large fire roaring merrily in the fireplace warming the room nicely. She was one of the only ones in the classroom so far. She had gone to class early. Lily sat down at a table. This class like the other classes was a mix of Slytherins along with some Ravenclaws, Hufflepuff and of course other Gryffindors.

Lily found she enjoyed the N.E.W.T. classes for this reason; it was a more mix of students from all four houses.

Lily was alone and looked with wide eyes as Severus sat down next to her. Lily smiled at him. Snape gave a fast flicker of a smile back. Lily felt it was a start.

“I noticed you had gotten a letter, is everything fine?” Snape whispered to her.

“Yes things are quite fine. I uh would you like to see…”

“What?” Snape asked unsure what she wanted to show him. After all they were in a classroom that was going to be filling up with other students soon.

“A picture”

“Oh” Snape looked a bit disappointed then thoughtful for a moment as he glanced toward the door as though trying to decide if he had time or should go to another table.

“Sure…. I guess….”

Lily pulled the pictures out and showed them to Severus who looked down at the adorable black eye baby with dark reddish black hair.

Snape watched the small baby crawling and sitting waving a toy and then chewing on it.

He looks like Lily with dark eyes and hair.

Snape glanced over at Lily wondering whose baby this was and why the baby seemed so eerily familiar, as though he should know the baby but doesn’t understand why he doesn’t know him.

“Sev….” Lily turned surprised to look at the door where she could hear several others heading to their class.

Lily turned back to talk to Severus only to see Severus up out of the seat and into another one on the other side of the room. Lily looked dejected as she hurriedly put the pictures into her pocket.
