Bonding

Uncle Seb

Severus walked up to a small cottage in Godric's Hallow. He was watching on of his friends kid while they went on a date night. He stopped in the front of the doorway and gave three faint knocks. Footsteps were heard from inside. They came closer to the door and soon it burst open. It revealed a woman with the most beautiful bright orange hair that went down to her shoulders. She was in a red dress that was very flowing.

"Severus!" she screamed the minute her eyes landed on him. She jumped into his arms and hugged him as tight as she could.

"Good to see you to Lily." he wheezed out for he was having a little trouble breathing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just so excited to see you! Come on in." she said as she lead him into the living room. She called to her husband upstairs to bring down the baby. We the man came down stairs and looked at Severus with a blank face.

"Severus" he said with no tone to his voice.

"James." Severus replied with the same tone. Right before they left Hogwarts Severus' family forced him to take the dark mark. When he had no one to turn to he went to Dumbledore, but ran into Lily on the way. She tried to cut off their friendship because of it, but Severus begged her to come with him to Dumbledore so he could explain. On their way, they bumped into James and he tagged along. That was the day Severus became a spy for the Order of the Phoenix. Lily trusted her friend now more than ever. James grew respect for the man, but that didn't mean they had to be friends. But he is growing to like Severus more and more he spends time with him. He just won't admit to it.

"This is Harry. He started talking about a month ago so he may talk to you." Lily said as she took Harry from her husband's arms and gave him to Severus. He stared down into two little green emerald eyes. He had her eyes and his father looks. "He should be in bed by nine and at eight he needs his bottle. It's on the counter just take the stilling charm off of it. Oh, and fair warning. If you watch a movie, he's gonna ask to watch Lion King. We will be back at ten. Good luck! Bye Harry, bye Sev!" she shouted as her and James walked out the door. A few second later he heard the sound of apperation.

"Well Harry, do you want to play any games?" he asked the small child as he noticed a small table in the corner surrounded by different toys and games. Harry's eyes lit up at the sound of it. So for two hours Severus sat on the floor and Harry and him built many things out of small blocks. They built small castles, spaceships, and some random things. They even built the Hogwarts express and Severus charmed it to go around the room. Harry was laughing and smiling all the while.

When eight o'clock rolled around, Severus took the stilling charm off the bottle and fed Harry while lightly bouncing him on his hip. When he was finished Severus suggested a movie. When he walked to the box they were in Harry went straight for the Lion King like Lily said he would. But, Harry didn't stay up for long for he fell asleep in Severus' arms at the part with the circle of life. He too closed his eyes and was out as well. He didn't know who long he was out, but at one point he felt a tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and was meet with the sight of brown hair.

"Seems you two had fun." Severus heard James say. He looked down and saw Harry fast asleep on his chest with his thumb in his mouth.

"Oh, yeah. After I fed him we watched Lion King and he fell asleep. I should have put him in his crib.

"Oh it's fine Sev." LIly said as she collected her child in her arms. He stirred a little and smiled when he saw his mother.

"Well, thank you Severus." James said as he stuck out his hand.

"You're welcome." Severus replied as he shook it.

"Maybe we can get a coffee some time?" he questioned.

"Sure. Goodbye Lily, James. Bye Harry." Severus said as he turned for the door.

"Bye Sev!" Lily called from the doorway. Just before he walked out the door, Harry lifted up his small little head and sleepy said,

"Bye uncle Seb." Everyone froze and stared at each other. James and Severus looked shocked out of their minds, while Lily was smiling. But soon the shock turned to laughter and the laughter caused the small little green eyed boy to laugh as well.
