Severus's POV

October 31th 1981: Godric Hollow

I returned back home after a meeting. A green light shone out of the window. I ran into the house and found my wife on the floor inside the nursery. She was barely breathing and her body was severely damaged.

"I'm so sorry Esme!" I said. "The Dark Lord spared Adam!" she replied. "I'll take care of him!" I said. You have to leave him away!" said Esmeralda.

I looked at my son, while tears filled my eyes. "He tortured me, because I knew too much about the future. He's after Adam too!" she said. "I'll never forget you!" I replied. "I love you...Severus!" said Esme, before she took her last breath.

I was holding my wife's dead body in my arms and tears was streaming down my face. I placed a kiss on her cold forehead.

I lifted up my son and he was sleeping in my arms. I wrapped him in a blanket and apparated away from my home.

I found a house and it was hard to say goodbye. "I love you so much Adam. I hope you one day understand why I had to leave you away!" I said and lay him gently down on the doorstep.

I kissed him on his forehead and knocked on the door. I hid behind a tree when the door opened. A woman lifted up him and walked into the house.

I thought he'd get a safe childhood with lots of love. If I only knew how badly they would treat him.

I saw three aurors walking around. They were looking for death eaters to send to Azkaban. I quickly disappeared from the place.

Aww, baby Adam is so cute💙

I hope you liked the chapter.
