Severus quickly lost interest in the Wizard O's. He look around from the contraption that held him hostage. A bright light on the ceiling catches his attention. Don't be stupid Severus it's just a reflection of light. What is reflecting the light. The thinks to himself. He looks around again and see that it was just a mirror on the wall. A bright flash of green across the room catches his attention. He whips his head towards the flash. He sees the fire place spit out a red head girl. "Ginny is that you?" Harry calls from the kitchen. "Yeah where are you?" She asks back. "In the kitchen." Severus watches her walk toward his place in the kitchen area. "Oh my goodness who is this little guy he is so adorable." She gushes at Severus. "Ginny this is the former Mr. Snape." Harry says laughing awkwardly. "Oh my, I'm so sorry sir. I didn't mean any disrespect. I mean I heard you were deaged but I didn't think Harry would be acting as you guardian." She rambles on. "Hawy Hawy." Severus says making grabby hands to picked up and carried away from the obviously mental woman. "You'll get used to her Mr. Snape." Harry whispers to him as he cradles him. "How does spaghetti and meatballs sound for dinner Gin?" Harry asks while carrying Severus and stirring a pot of boiling water with spaghetti already in it. "That sounds fine. Shall I make my mum's special marinara sauce." She asks pulling ingredients down from the cupboards. "Sounds great." Harry says to Ginny walking Severus back to his high chair as he was going to need both of his hands. "Hawy?" Severus asks making grabby hands once again. "Sir, I can't hold you right now." Harry tells the tiny professor. Finally for what seems like forever the two adults bring the food to the table. Severus' nose is greeted by wondrous smells. Garlic bread, creamy marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, and fresh banana. Ginny and Harry talk about boring things that Severus' mind blocks out. Severus just sits there waiting kinda patiently for Harry to feed him. Once he is finished with his banana he finds himself intrigued by the squishy noodles on Harry and Ginny's plates. Harry is so deeply engaged in their conversation that he doesn't realized the the baby is trying to eat his dinner until a clump of noodles and sauce falls back to his plate. Harry looks up at the baby in shock. Severus' face is covered in marinara sauce. "Sir have you been eating my dinner?" Harry questions the babe. The baby shakes his head giggling. Dark baby hair moving slightly. "I hate to break it to you Mr. Snape but you have sauce all over your face." Harry says unable to keep the grin off his face anylonger. I don't want them to call me Mr. Snape or Sir anymore. What will people think if they see us together calling a baby Sir." I'm only doing this to keep my secret. Yes just because I have to. "Immy" Severus points to Ginny. "Hawy" He says pointing to Harry. "Seb" He says pointing to himself. "You want us to call you Sev?" Ginny questions. Severus nods glad they are understanding. "Are you sure Mr. Snape?" Harry asks confused. Snape nods again. "Okay then Sev you are going to need a bath." Harry says trying out the new name. Picking up the baby and carrying him into the bathroom. "Sev the bathtub might be too big for you. Is it okay if I use the sink?" Harry asks. Severus thinks it over and gives a nod. Harry makes quick work of undressing the baby and putting him in the sink that is already full of warm water. Harry washes Sev quickly. Shampoo is gently applied and rubbed into his hair with a soft touch. Harry wraps the babe in a giant fluffy towel. Ginny comes into the bathroom in her night clothes bringing in a diaper and a onesie for the little one. Quickly changing him the couple take the baby into the master bedroom. "Crap Ginny I forgot set up the crib." Harry yells scaring Sev who was still in his arms. Sev lets out a scared squeak he hasn't heard Harry yell before in his tiny form. "Harry it's not that big of a deal. He can sleep in between us in the big bed. That way he won't fall off the bed." Ginny says taking Harry's hand in hers and rubbing her thumb over it soothingly. "Yeah I guess you're right." Harry finally says sighing. "Is that okay with you Sev." Harry asks looking down at the child in his arms. Well it's not like I have any other choice. Do I." Thinking it over Sev nods. "Okay how about you have a bottle before we call it a night?" Harry asks the now dressed baby. Sev nods his head yes. Ginny walks back into the room with a heated bottle. "One step ahead you." Ginny says handing the bottle to Harry. Harry smiles and repositions Sev so that his head is in the crook of his elbow. He brings the bottle to his lips. Hesitantly Sev takes a sip out of the bottle. Delighted by the taste he gulps down the delicious milk. "Woah there Sev don't drink too fast you might get a belly ache." Ginny warns smiling down at the infant. Sev does his best to roll his eyes but does slow down. The bottle is quickly finished and he is effectively burped. "Okay good. Now everyone is ready for bed but me. Will it okay if Ginny holds I have to change into something to sleep in." Harry tells the baby about to hand him over to Ginny. Realizing that he is about to be given to someone he doesn't know Sev lets out a high pitch shriek. Harry quickly brings his arms back to cradle the infant. "What's wrong Sev it's just Ginny. You've been with her the whole time tonight." Harry tries to reason with the crying baby in his arms. Nope I refuse to be held by anyone other than Harry. Harry will protect me. Ginny could hurt me. I was mean to her when she was in my class. What if she wants revenge. "Sev, you can trust me I won't hurt you. Harry will be right in the closet changing." Ginny says gently. She tries to rub his back but he flinches away. "Sev don't worry cub you can trust Ginny. I will be right there." Harry says pointing to the closet. "I will leave the door open if that will make you feel safer. I got to change buddy." Harry says bouncing the still crying child. "What about if I set you on the bed on your stomach. And Ginny just sat beside you to make sure you don't fall off the bed. She wouldn't have to touch you at all unless you started to fall." Harry says hoping the baby would agree. Well then at least she can't touch me. And on my stomach I can get way if she tries to hurt me. And I could scream my head off. Okay fine I'll do it but I won't like it. Reluctantly Sev nods his head. "Okay cub. I'll only be in the closet." Harry says setting down Sev on the comforter. Sev watches as Harry quickly changes into sleeping pants and takes off his shirt. Harry picks up the infant. "See it wasn't that bad was it now." Harry tells Sev before laying down in bed. Harry sets him down in the middle of the bed. He feels the bed dip next to him on the side Harry isn't on. Sev feels his heart rate accelerate. But it slowed down when a comforting hand ran through his hair. "I know it takes a lot to trust someone Sev. I am willing to wait until you are ready Sev. I want you to trust me. I won't ever hurt you." Ginny whispers in his ear. You don't know how much I want to believe you. Sev falls asleep on that thought. 

In the morning

Sev wakes up before either Harry or Ginny. Much to his dismay he finds that he has wet his diaper. I need to be changed. That is gross even to think about. First I have to roll onto my stomach. Sev rolls successfully onto his stomach. Next Sev tries to push himself into a crawling stance, but falls back on his face and stomach. Come on Severus you're an adult. You can crawl. He successfully is able to get into a crawling position and hold his balance. Suddenly Harry rolls onto his other side so he is now facing Severus. The bed moving causes Sev to lose his balance, and fall on to Harry's bare chest. "ohh Sev is that you." Harry asks coughing from the sudden weight. "Hawy." Sev says hitting his face lightly not wanting him to fall back to sleep. His diaper was now cold and making his bum feel itchy. "What is it Sev?" Harry asks groggily. Sev just whines loudly as he can't speak very well in his pint sized form. Harry sits up and check his diaper. "Okay let's change your diaper." Harry says carrying Sev over to the changing table. "Okay we are all good here. Do you want to go back to sleep?" Harry asks after changing Sev. Severus shakes his head no. "Well them what do you suggest me do then?" Harry asks the babe. Sev points to the kitchen. "Are you hungry cub?" Harry questions as they walk towards the kitchen. Severus shakes his head, then snuggles back into Harry's arms. "Well you were pretty close to crawling this morning. Do you want to try again?" Harry asks bouncing the baby. Severus nods his head excitedly. "Okay well we can try then." Harry says walking towards the living room. Harry first sets the baby on his stomach, the lays down on his stomach to join him. "Okay bud first let's try to get up on to all fours." Harry coaches. Severus is first able to get up on all fours. "Good job cub. Now move one of your hands forward." Harry says moving his left hand forward a couple inches. Sev lifts his right hand forward ever so slightly, and is able to keep his balance. "Good job cub. Now move your right foot forward." Harry says moving his left knee forward a couple inches as well. Sev tries to lift his right leg but he falls back onto his stomach. Sev cries out into frustration. "Don't give up Sev. Try again." Harry encourages the frustrated baby. Sev gets back up onto all fours and moves his hand. He looks up at Harry in distress. "Try instead of lifting your leg slide it. Sev slides his knee ever so slightly forward. Sev gives Harry a smile showing his gums. "Good job cub now move your other hand forward." Harry says bring his right hand forward. Sev moves his hand forward. "Now move your other leg." Harry instructs. Sev moves his knee forward again and giggles loudly. "Oh look at my two boys crawling." Ginny says grinning down at the two boys. She quickly whips her camera and snaps a couple pictures. Harry stands up, picking up Sev they walk toward the kitchen. "What would like for breakfast Sev?" Ginny asks the infant. Sev shrugs. "What about some oatmeal with honey." Ginny asks rubbing the baby's back. Sev nods his head. "I'll have some of that too Gin." Harry says setting the baby in his high chair. Sev whines about being put down. "I'll be right there cub I'm getting you a bottle." Harry tells the impatient baby. Harry quickly make a bottle a spells it warm for the babe. Harry picks up Severus and settles him in his arms feeding him the bottle.
