December two days before holiday break
Alex's POV

"You're kidding right?" I said raising my eyebrows at Draco.

"Of course not babe"

"But mistletoe? Really? That's a bit much," I watched Draco as he pranced around the sitting room of mothers quarters. Draco had spent the last half hour decorating while I sat and watched mocking anything that he did. I truly did love it seeing as this was my first official Christmas since I was taken from my parents 15 years ago.

"Don't lie, I know you love it." He swiftly walked over to me and placed a kiss on my head before walking out of the room in search of more decorations. I rolled my eyes and got up trailing after him to make sure he didn't get distracted while searching the closet where my parents stored everything they didn't need. "Al look," he whispered when the sounds of my footsteps made their way to him. He pulled out a emerald colored box with the initials S-R. Upon opening it we were treated with the sight of a photo album with a moving picture on the cover. When we looked closer I gasped and smiled as I ran my finger over it. It was a picture of mother and father and myself as a baby. Mother had me in his arms with fathers arm around him while we all laughed and turned in the direction of the photographer. I couldn't have been older than a few months and my parents looked to be in their early twenties mothers long hair flowing over his shoulder into a messy bun. A tear dropped down onto the words 'Snape-Riddle Family' as I realized that I had begun to cry. Draco wrapped a comforting arm around me and allowed me to hold the book while closing the box and levitating it with his wand. He led me back out to the living room my parents sitting on the couches that we once occupied.

"What have you two done to my room," mother wailed not even turning back to us as he tried to wrap his mind around the decorations around the room. Father on the other hand looked amused as he glanced around at the decorations his eyes stopping on the mistletoe that hung over the entrance to the kitchen a glint of something unrecognizable flashing in his eyes. "This has you written all over it draco..." mother spoke turning around slowly to glare at Draco before his eyes came to rest on the two of us and focusing on the box and book I held in my hands. "Oh no. Tom they found the book. That was going to be your Christmas gift Alex," mother said sadly walking up to me and taking the book gently out of my hands before taking my hand and leading me to the couch and taking a seat. He opened up the book and began to flip through it showing me the pictures and explaining them to myself and Draco while father looked on with a small smile from his seat on the other sofa.
The pictures.

-a teenage Tom and Severus sat under a tree smiled upon their faces as Severus animatedly talked about something while Tom looked at him with pure love in his eyes.
"I was telling him about this plant that I discovered before we started officially dating but he obviously wasn't listening. And yes he looks like that, thanks to my potions to help bring him back a few years so he could attend Hogwarts, under a fake name of course . Only Lucius knew the truth about poor Thomas Marvalo."

- Tom and Severus stood under a crimson rose arch as they were pronounced married and kissed.
"Our wedding day. Quite beautiful, your grandmother and godmothers cried through the whole ceremony."

-Severus waving his wand over his stomach and a blue mist appearing as Tom fainted onto the floor.
"That's when I told your dad about you. He cried right after."

-a heavily pregnant Severus walking around a large nursery as Tom moved around to try and put everything together.
"Your nursery, I believe it's still in Riddle manor untouched if you'd like to see it again."

-new born Alex being held in his mothers arms as he smiled gently down to him his hair tied back in a ponytail. He clutched a small blue bundle that wiggles and reached his arms out to the awaiting mother.
"This was one was taken when you were first born. Draco's mother took the photo, seeing as your dad fell asleep on the side of the bed where the lump is."
