Dear Severus Snape (Snarry Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty Eight

The next morning, Harry fed and changed Teddy without problem. Teddy didn't morph his appearance at all during breakfast, which was unusual for him. He simply stared up at Harry, a curious expression on his face.

It made Harry uncomfortable, for some unfathomable reason. It wasn't like Teddy wasn't really questioning Snape's presence from last night, but it sure felt like it.

Speaking of Snape, he hadn't come downstairs for his coffee yet, not that Harry was really surprised. After last night, he probably wanted to avoid any more run-ins with Teddy.

Sighing, Harry scooped the last few bites of Teddy's mushed up food into his mouth. His godson was covered with the sticky material, and Harry grimaced before casting a cleaning charm.

Teddy grinned when his face was clean, and clapped his hands together. Harry smiled slightly.

"Was that good?" He asked.

Teddy giggled in response.

"Your grandma says you've been grumpy lately, but I don't see it. You've been pretty good. Thank you."

Teddy blinked slowly at him, then changed his eyes to match Snape's once more.

Harry let out a long sigh.

"You can't do that in front of your grandma, little one. She'll wonder where you saw someone with black eyes."

As if sensing Harry's concern, his eyes turned back to a bright blue. Harry sighed in relief and gently patted his head.

"That's better." He murmured.

There was a knock at the front door, and Harry scooped Teddy out of his chair. Andromeda was early, but Harry wasn't complaining. Even at 6 months old, Teddy was exhausting.

Harry opened the door to let Andromeda in.

"How did it go?" She asked.

Harry shrugged.

"Pretty good. He woke up once last night crying, but I was able to calm him down eventually."

Andromeda nodded in understanding.

"He's still getting his teeth, I'm afraid." She replied with a tired sigh.

"Yeah, I'm sure. How did your business in London go?"

"It went quite well. Thank you for watching Teddy for me."

Harry grinned.

"Of course. Anytime."

Andromeda suddenly began to fidget, as though nervous.

"You know, Harry, I was thinking. If something were to happen to me.... would you be able to take Teddy in?"

Harry blinked in surprise. He had never really thought about it. Sure, Andromeda was Teddy's grandmother, but she was anything but old. She was only in her late 50's, or early 60's. Surely she would be there for Teddy until he was an adult?

"Things happen sometimes, Harry." She said softly, as if reading his thoughts. "You should know that better than anyone."

Harry chewed his lip nervously. What would happen if he had to take Teddy? His life would change drastically, that was for sure. But he would never let Teddy grow up the way he had. Never.

"Of course I'd take him." He finally responded.

Andromeda shot him a small grin.
