Harry's adopted son Severus

Chapter 1

Severus wakes up in a blinding white room. Finally I have died. I can be reunited with Lily at last. Snape thinks in relief. "Professor Snape, are you a wake?" He hears a voice call to him. Blinking his eyes slowly he makes out the shape of a young woman. "Who are you?" He asks groggily. Lifting his head ever so slightly he can see the outlines of other bed similar to what he is laying in. "Don't you remember. It's me Hermione Granger." She says worry filling her voice. "What?" Snape mumbles out. "Am I not dead.?" He asks groaning at the effort. "Oh no we were able to get to you in time to use the Anti-venom. You were lucky we almost didn't save you. But you should be as good as new soon." She says will a little laugh, walking back to the shelves and taking inventory. Oh great Merlin what did I do to deserve this. I fulfilled my purpose of saving Harry bloody Potter. Why must I stay on this cursed Earth. Snape thinks to himself full of self pity. "How long must I stay here?" He asks using the voice that once made students cower. "Madam Pomfrey says you can leave two hours after you wake up." She says bubbly. "How long have I been out?" He asks him groaning at the pressure building behind his eyes. "About a week. She said you would have a headache and possibly some nausea." She says in hearing his groan. "Hey Hermione has Snape woken up yet?" A boy asks coming into the hospital wing. Snape could see his unruly hair that never lays flat, round glasses on his face, and of course the famous lighting bolt scare, though it had faded slightly it was still clearly visible. "That's Professor Snape to you Potter." He growls out in a deep voice. "Well actually I'm not a student anymore which means you aren't my professor anymore, Mr. Snape." Harry says defiance flashing in his eyes. "Harry stop it Mr. Snape needs all the rest he can get to regain his energy." The girl scolds him. Severus hides his smirk. Blushing deeply Harry apologizes. "Well Mr. Snape you charts say you are stable so you are free to go." Hermione says brightly. Groaning as he starts to stand. His whole body aches as he tries to stand. Half limping half hopping Severus hobbles out of the Hospital wing. He tries to stalk down the halls as he did before but ends up tripping on his own cloak. He positions his face into the normal scowl and looks down at the students, but they don't seem to notice or are too busy with their own problems. Finally reaching his quarters next to the Slytherin common room. Saying his password he immediately heads to his potions lab. Finally letting his emotions consume him he furiously swipes at the table knocking whatever was in the cauldron onto the floor as it spills out. Vials shatter and their contents spill onto the floor. Grabbing a new cauldron and potion book, He flips through the pages carelessly. Stopping when he finds what he wants. Measuring out the ingredients he pours them out steadily with muscle memory to rely on he let his thoughts wander. Don't worry Lily we will be together soon my precious flower. This instant kill should do just what the snake was meant to. He thinks to himself following the steps he had done over and over again when he was headmaster. A loud knock causes him to add a pinch too much of dragon scale dust. Running the consequences through his head quickly he ducks to get cover from the explosion. The cauldron explodes and splashes ruined potion all over him. He can feel his skin tingle, and shrink. His finger become chubby and his legs, his teeth retract up into his gums his head starts to feel fuzzy. A loud wail echoes off the walls of his quarters. It takes him a second to realize that the wail was coming from him. "Mr. Snape are you okay." Harry yells running into the mess of a potions lab. "Mr. Snape is that you?" Harry asks picking up the small baby wrapped in the professor's cloak. The baby emits another loud shriek. "Shh it's okay, I've got you." Harry says to the baby cradling him. The baby stops crying and looks up at Harry with curiosity. "Hello Mr. Snape." Harry say to the baby. The baby babbles something Harry can't make out. "I'm sorry but I can't understand you. Do you have your memories?" Harry questions the baby. He gives the smallest nod. "Okay, then that's great. Come on lets get you to Madam Pomfrey." Harry says walking out of Snape's quarters holding Severus to his chest. Using secret corridors the arrive unseen. "I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier, it was rude and disrespectful, and you of all people deserve my respect you kept me safe all those years." Harry apologizes looking the baby in the eye. The baby nods contently and curls against Harry's chest as if saying he is forgiven. "Oh Harry there you are where did you go? Oh never mind it's not important." Hermione says busying herself with more work. Not turning to look at him. "Harry is that you dear? Hermione dear please leave you have done more than enough work." Madam Pomfrey voice floats through the hospital wing. Hermione leaves with out even looking at Harry not seeing little Severus. Madam Pomfrey walks out of her office and see the baby Harry is holding. "Oh my who is this?" She asks in shock. "This is Professor Snape. A potion explodes and left him like this." Harry answers gesturing at Severus' tiny form. "I see, does he have his memories, does he know how to reverse the effect?" Madam Pomfrey asks Harry. "He has his memories but he can't talk." He explains. "I see." She says thinking. "We should call Albus. " She says finally. "Is that okay with you Mr. Snape?" Harry asks the baby. The baby thinks it over nodding at last. "Great, that a boy." Harry says bouncing him a little. The baby squeals with laughter. Smiling Harry bounces him more. The floo flares green and the headmaster walks through. "Poppy what was so urgent that you had to call me away from my mounds of paperwork that Minerva insists I take care of." Albus asks brushing soot off of his robes. "It's Mr. Snape sir, he was turned into a baby from a potion explosion." Harry fills the older man in. "Well hello there Severus. You seemed to have goten your self into a bit of predicament." Albus says chuckling. Huh wonder if you would think it was so funny if you were pint sized. Severus thought angrily. Feeling the baby's distress Harry jumps in. "Sir, I don't think this is a laughing matter. Severus could be at a risk here." Harry says with a cold voice as he eyes the old man. "You are right, I am sorry Severus this could be something worrying." Albus says solemnly. "Yes he is quite under weight, and small, I'm sure his immune system is quite weak. He will be needing nutritional potions to help with that. At his age which I would guess is about 6 months he should be crawling but his legs don't seem to have developed the necessary muscles for that. So you will have to be working with him on that." She says making a list of the things the baby would require. The baby starts to squirm in Harry's arms. "What is it Mr. Snape?" Harry asks trying to calm the fidgeting baby. He shakes his head hitting Harry's chest. "Do you not want to live with Mr. Potter?" Albus asks the child. He nods. Potter will probably be mean to me. "Well who would you rather stay with Severus?" Albus asks. Anyone but Potter. What about one of my snakes. Severus thinks to himself. "If Mr. Snape isn't comfortable with staying with me I think we should find a more fit guardian. What about one of the Slytherins." Harry suggests. "Well my boy most of the Slytherins come from death eater families and know the Severus here was working as a spy for the order of phoenix. We can't put him in harms way. No I think it would be best to keep Severus' new form a secret." Albus says his blue eyes twinkling. "Severus my boy I think you are going to have to stay with Mr. Potter for the time being, I hope you don't mind." Albus says to the baby gently. The baby's face scrunches up in pain and let's out a ear splitting cry. "Now my boy none of that you must think on the logical side here Severus. Me and Minerva are much to old to care for you and have a lot of work to do. We can't keep you here with Madam Pomfrey she has much on her plate especially since she will be brewing most of the potions now. Harry is the logical choice. I'm sure it won't be that bad." Albus tries to sooth the still shrieking babe. "Mr. Snape I assure you I will treat you with the respect you deserve while in my care. And I'm really the only option you have. Mr. Snape don't make this harder than it has to be." Harry reasons with him rocking him. I guess it could be worse. I could be with that mutt Black. Plus Potter will have everyone watching him making sure he doesn't kill me. I could get some dirt on Potter. Okay I'll do it. The baby smiles and nods to the adults. Harry's constant rocking starts to take effect on Severus as he feels his eyes begin to droop. He doesn't care that it is Potter that he is snuggling into  just feel their warmth and let's it cover him. He feels something enter his mouth and starts to suck on it feeling more relaxed by the second. He hears the adults boring blabbering stop. And that is the last thing Severus remembers as he let's sleep consume him. The next time he woke up cold air assaulted his down below area. Shaking his head he opens his eyes sleepily. He sees the expression on Harry's face that he never wants to forget. An impish giggle bounces around the room and it takes him a moment to realize that the laughter was coming from him. "Oh you think this is funny do you?" Harry asks the baby unable to keep the grin off his face as well. Snape just erupts into a fit of giggles again unable to contain himself. "Well looks like someone does actually have a sense of humor." Harry says finishing changing the baby and bounces him on his arms. "You do don't you." Harry says putting his nose into Snape's stomach. What is going on with me. I'm an adult not a infant that laughs at every little thing someone does. Snape scolds himself mentally and stops laughing. "What's wrong Mr. Snape we were having so much fun." Harry asks the infant as the smile disappears off the baby's face and is replaced by a blank stare. "Oh I get it you don't want to seem like a actual person in front of me. Don't worry Mr. Snape this can be our little secret that you can actually laugh." Harry says jokingly. The pair leave the nursery and head into the kitchen. "Okay sorry sir joking a side are you hungry?" He asks the baby. As if on cue the baby's stomach let's out a loud rumble. "I'll take that as a yes than." Harry says flipping through a parenting book. "Well it says here that you can only have soft foods mostly mushed up. "So how about a mashed banana and a bottle and we can try some wizard O's for an appetizer. So what do you think." Harry reasons with the babe. Severus nods his head excitedly at the thought of food. "Okay good. You stay there and I will make us dinner." Harry says placing Severus carefully in a high chair and securing the straps. He goes to his cupboards and pours some wizard O's on Severus try before running back into the kitchen to cook the main entree.
