Chapter 63 Surprise visit

Chapter 63, Surprise visit.

Snape had arrived in the states; he was wandering around looking at the confusing roads and their odd and very weird way of doing the streets. He found many Avenues’, courts and place that seem to go nowhere. Then the odd names for streets that didn’t feel as though there was any rhyme or reasons to them. Snape figured it was some odd Muggle thing and let it go. It was near the end of the day when Snape had finally found the home where this extraordinary child was supposed to be living.

Snape had wandered around the home, it was very modest looking, a soft blue color with white trim. It seemed to be only a two-story home with flowering shrubs along the walkway to the front door. Snape would have never known a wizard lived here; it looked like any other Muggle home he had ever seen.

Snape then say a small boy with jet-black hair that seemed to sparkle with red, or maybe it was dark red hair with black that sparkled. Snape was not sure. He looked at the little boy playing with a toy cauldron. The boy seemed to be very enthusiastic about it as he stirred something around in it. There was something about him that made him feel as though he should know him. Snape looked at his face and his eyes, the boy seemed to look like a very young version of Lily, but with the wrong hair and eyes.

Snape was very puzzled by this when a woman walked out of the door.

“Hey there Severus, what are you doing?” The woman picked the boy up. Snape jumped with a shout. “What?”

The woman stopped and looked around the back yard. “I know there’s someone there, you might as well come out.”

Snape was floored, for the boy to have his name seemed very odd indeed in fact most unlikely. Snape stayed rooted where he was.

“I said come out here. Who are you? What are you doing spying on us?” she was looking around her yard she looked very distressed.

Snape sighed, if he was going to get information he might as well go to the source. Snape stepped out from behind a large tree, where he had been hidden in the shadows. The woman gasped as she saw him, it wasn’t just his appearing out of the shadows but his eyes were that of her son’s.

The woman held little Severus closer to her very protectively. “What do you want?”

“I’m sorry to intrude; I mean no harm to you and your son.” Snape told her gently.

Snape walked over to the woman who backed up a bit. “I was just hoping for some information?”

“Are you his father? We never met him just his mother.” The woman told Snape honestly. She seemed to relax a bit as her son was turning curiously and even excitably to look at the person his mother was talking too.

“Severus seems to like you.” She said as the little boy waved a small hand at him.

“You must be his father, he has your eyes.” She seemed to be warming up to him now.

“Can you tell me about his …. Mother?” Snape was scared to hear this but also very excited, could it be?

She looked puzzled for a moment. “Well she was about fifteen years old, it was of course unplanned. She wasn’t obviously able to keep a baby being as young as she was. I send her pictures regularly, also to his biological grandparents. They live in London”

The woman walked over to a table with lawn chairs.

“Please sit down.” She invited Snape. Snape sat down opposite of her when the little boy immediately came over to him and climbed up into his lap. Snape smiled down at him. “Did you name him?” Snape asked as the little boy cuddled up.
