Chapter 3 by Gryffinbear

Emrys’ eyes shot open and he looked around frantically for Severus. As he sat up, he saw his protector sleeping on the big bed across the room. Pulling himself up with one arm, he looked around for a way out of the crib. When he saw that there was no way out, he sat back down, his little eyes tearing up at the fact he found no way to get to Severus. His lower lip quivered and he whimpered, after a moment he burst into a full set of tears.

The crying caused Severus to shoot awake. For a minute, he blinked unused to being woken up against his own will he narrowed his eyes, turned over in the bed, and saw Emrys crying. Sighing he got out of bed and walked over to him. Patiently and with gentle hands, he picked up the boy shocked at how natural and easy it felt to do so.

“Little one what is the matter?” he asked as Emrys continue crying even after being held.

“Emrys what is wrong, did you have a bad dream” Severus said as he held him close to his chest, rocking slightly trying to calm him down. Emrys looked up at him his eyes wide and filled with tears that continued to stream down his face. He hiccupped as he cried, and then let out a shuddering breath.

“The mean lady hurt Me.” he said almost calmly, then the tears flowed faster and he gave into them again. Severus sighed.

“Shh… Emrys its okay, you don’t have to see that lady ever again because you’re going to come and live with me in my very big house. ” he said gently as he rubbed Emrys’ back in circles, slowly calming the toddler down. He noted with satisfaction as Emrys finally began to slowly fall back asleep. He froze as he felt the boy shudder in his arms, his breath coming out in shallow gasps and he could actually hear him wheezing for breath.

Damien walked into the room, he had wanted to look in to make sure both Severus and Emrys were still sleeping, but as he looked around, he saw Severus with a worried look on his face.

“Severus is something the matter?” he asked.

“Emrys is breathing really heavy, and he is wheezing as well.” he said concerned. Damien sighed walked over to Severus and listened to Emrys chest with a quick spell.

“It sounds like Emrys has asthma Severus.” Damien said in a matter of fact tone of voice. Severus looked confused.

“I thought that wizards couldn’t get Muggle illnesses.” he said still confused.

“No people with Magical blood can get Muggle illnesses; it just doesn’t happen very often Severus.” Damien explained as he walked towards the door. “I’ll be right back Severus, I need to see if we have any more baby inhalers in the storage room Okay?” he said walking out the door without even giving him a chance to reply. Severus sat down on the bed cradling Emrys carefully and waited for Damien to come back.

Damien walked down the hallway, pass the Café and into the storage room and began looking around the room. “Ah ... there it is!” he said as he spotted the box he was looking for. Conjuring an emerald green and black baby bag, Damien walked over to the box and pulled it off the shelf setting it on the floor. Opening the diaper bag, Damien started loading the asthma supplies into it. Leaving one of the baby inhalers out and a couple of the little medicine canisters to give to Severus when he got back to the room. Damien put a bottomless and a weightless charm on the bag as well.

Once he was done packing the bag, he tapped the side of the box to refill the supplies within. Leaving the room Damien quickly walked back to Room 103. As he walked into the room, he saw Severus sitting on the bed with a very worried look on his face as he looked down at the wheezing baby boy. Damien walked over to Severus with the baby inhaler in his hand. Loading one of the canisters into the end of the inhaler, he held it out for Severus to take. “Severus put the mask part over Emrys nose and mouth, and then push the canister at the other end twice, then the medicine will stay in the tube until Emrys doesn’t need anymore, Okay?” Damien said in a gentle voice. Severus did as instructed watching as the small tube filled with a white sort of mist, Emrys breathing slowly got better. Severus took the mask off Emrys face when the last of the mist disappeared from the inhaler. Emrys moved a bit in Severus’s arms then went right back to sleep a second later.

Damien took the inhaler out of Severus’s hand and set it back into the dipper bag. “Now I will take Emrys while you transfigure your clothes back, but leave the robe off were going to Muggle London first then we can go to Diagon Alley,” Damien said. He took Emrys from Severus’s arms, holding him gently careful of his left arm. Severus picked up his wand off the bedside table and transfigured his clothes back to the Black slacks and Black dress shirt he was wearing last night. “We really need to introduce some color into your wardrobe Sev.” Damien said.

After Breakfast, they left the hospital, and walked over to Severus’s SUV. Putting the baby bag in to the back seat Severus got into the driver’s side and got in. Damien carried Emrys over to the passenger side and got in. Severus took Emrys from Damien so he could slide the seat belt over himself. “The first thing we to get you is a car seat for Emrys, You can’t keep trying to hold him and drive Severus that’s really dangerous.” Damien said as he took Emrys back into his arms. Looking down at Emrys, Damien saw that the little boy was still asleep in the little green blanket Severus had wrapped him into keep the child warm in the November weather.

Severus buckled himself then started the car. “Where to first Damien?” Severus asked as he pulled away from the sidewalk and started down the main road. “We should head to the London International Mall, it should have everything we would need for Emrys and maybe some clothes for you Sev.” Damien said. Severus glared at Damien. “I do no need new clothes Damien!” he snapped. Damien laughed. “Oh, but you do need new clothes Sev …. We are going to add some color to your wardrobe, even if it’s just some dark navy or dark emerald.” Damien said. Severus sighed. “Fine do whatever you want Damien, Its not like you’re going to actually listen to me anyway.” Severus said sulking.

After 30 minutes, Severus pulled into the parking garage of the London International Mall. Severus drove up a few levels to level C and pulled into a parking space. Damien got out with Emrys while Severus got out of the driver’s side then grabbed the dipper bag from the back seat. After slipping, the bag on his shoulder Severus walked around the car, took a sleeping Emrys out of Damien’s arms, and held him gently. “Where to first Damien?” Severus asked. Damien looked at Severus “ We should get you a stroller first for Emrys so you don’t have to carry him around in the Mall and you’ll also have your hands free to look at things in the stores” Damien said. Severus nods then heads towards the stairs. “Severus, where are you going?” Damien asked confused.

“I am going to take the stairs down into the Mall Damien, Is there something wrong with that” Severus said annoyed. Damien laughed. “Wouldn’t it be easier to take the elevator down right into the Mall instead of going outside just to have to walk back in again?” Damien said smirking. Severus scowled “You think you’re so smart, don’t you Damien?” he said, but turned and walked towards the elevator with Damien following closely behind. Once they were all in the elevator Severus pushed the ‘Ground Floor’ button on the inside panel and waited for the doors to close.

After a minute, the elevator reached the ground floor. Severus and Damien stepped out of the elevator after the doors reopened. They walked out into the busy Mall. Severus looked around. “Did we have to come to such a noisy place Damien; I am not going to have any hearing left by the time we leave.” Severus said. Damien laughed. “Severus stop your whining, I know you don’t like anywhere but you’re dark and quiet Dungeons or your unplotable mannor. You need to stop acting like a spoiled child and let’s go get the things your son needs.” Damien said with an annoyed look on his face. Severus sighed and nodded. Damien and Severus walked though the mall silently. “Where is the best to get a stroller Damien?” Severus said to break the silence.

Damien glanced up at Severus and smiled. “Will you stop worrying, I am not mad at you Sev.” he said laughing at the look of relief that came over Severus’s face. “ Lets try Babies R’ US an American couple that was in the Ward once told me that was a good place to get Baby strollers and Baby supplies” Damien said. Severus nods “Lead the way Damien.” he said. While walking though the Mall they passed a store that was very dark inside. Damien smirked “Now there is a store that is just for you Sev, you would make the perfect Goth.” Severus looked at the store called ‘Hot Topic’ and then looked back at Damien with a confused look on his face “Goth?” he said Damien laughed. “Yes Severus a Goth is what Muggle Americans call people ware all black all the time and have very pale skin.” Damien said. Severus scowled at him “How would that make me a Goth Damien?” he questioned.

Damien laughed. “Lets see… You have very pale skin, you wear black all the time including the summer that is what would make you the perfect Goth.” he said as they walked up to Babies R’ US. Severus looked at Damien “Lead the way Mr. Expert on Children.” he said. Damien smirked and walked into the store first with Severus coming behind him. Damien walks over to a young girl with a pink shirt that said Babies R’US on it. “Excuse me miss.” he said. The girl turned and smiled at him “Hello sir did you need help finding something?” she said kindly. “Yes, you see my friend here just adopted a baby boy and does not know what to get for a child, as he works with pre-teens and teens throughout the year” Damien said. The girl smiled. “Well then you have come to the right place.” she said kindly. “Is your friend here with you sir?” she asked.

Damien smiled. “Why yes he is right here.” he said and looked next to him “Or he was a minute ago.” he mumbled. The young worker laughed. Damien turned around and saw Severus a little ways away looking at some toy that Emrys had grabbed and was playing with it.

“Severus could you come over here please?” Damien said. Severus looked up from Emrys, nodded then came over. “Yes Damien.” Severus asked. “This young lady has some questions for you about Emrys.” He said. The young worker smiled at Severus.

“Hello Sir, Your friend here said that you need some help finding things for your son?” she said kindly. Severus smiled at the young lady. “Yes, I do need some help; I don’t know what to buy for someone Emrys’s age.” Severus said.

“Well I can help you there sir, how old is your son sir?” she asked. “Emrys is 1 ½ years old.” Severus said. The girl nodded. “So, eighteen months then.” she said to herself. “What would you like to look at first sir?” she said. Severus looked confused. “Strollers and carriers please miss.” Damien said seeing the confused look on Severus’ face.

“Okay, come this way Sirs.’” she said then led them though the store over to where they carried the strollers and Baby carriers. Damien looked up at Severus “Do you have the supplies for you to take Draco for overnight or longer”. “No I don’t, I guess I have to get two of everything also I just remembered that Narcissa asked me to take Draco till after New Year’s.” Severus said.

Damien smirked “You will have to get all new clothes for Draco as well as I do not think the Malfoy’s will supply you anything for Draco especially any of the ‘muggle’ clothes we are buying for Emrys.” Damien said. Severus just nodded.

The girl turned to them as the reached their destination. “What kind of stroller do you need Sir?” she asked kindly. Severus smiled at her. “I need one that fits two children as I am also taking in my godson for a while.” he said. She nodded then walked over to one of the displays. “ This stroller here has room for two, also one child could be sitting up front and one child can either sit up or lay down as the back seat folds back fully.” she explained to them. Severus looked at it for a minute then looked at Damien “ I think it would be a good choice Severus, but it is up to you to make that decision” Damien said. Severus nodded then after another minute he told the young woman that he would take this one.

After paying for the stroller. Severus sat Emrys in the front seat, buckled him, then followed Damien and the young lady to the clothes area of the store. Damien looked at Severus “ Now, no there will be no buying all black clothes for Emrys, even if that seems to be your favorite color Sev.” he said smirking. Severus glared at his friend. “I was not going to buy Emrys or Draco all black clothes Damien!” he said scowling. The young employee smiled at their antics. “Sir your son is 18 months, how old is the other child that will be in your care?” she asked. “He is the same age only he was born in the beginning of June instead of the end of July.” The girl nodded then led them towards the 12-18months section of the infant clothes.

About an hour or two later Severus and Damien were walking out of the store weighted down with bags. Severus had put his in the bag of the stroller and on the handles. They walked into the Men’s Bathroom checking to see if it was empty. Damien started to shrink all their purchases with his wand, putting them in Emrys’ baby bag, While Severus had conjure a small changing table and was dressing Emrys in a green jumper, black jeans and green and white little trainers. As they walked out of the bathroom Severus looked at Damien “Is that all we have to get in this place Damien?” Severus asked scowling. Damien laughed.

“Tired of this place already Sev.” he said laughing. Severus glared at him. “Hey Sev, Dumbles isn’t going to start wondering where his Potions Master went is he?” Damien asked. Severus smirked “No I told him I would be gone for a while and would inform him when I got back” Severus said.

“Well that is good because it is going to take us a couple days to get everything done.” Damien said. “Are we quite ready to leave now” Severus said in an annoyed tone. Damien laughed again. “Yes Severus we can leave, but we have one more place in London we need to go.” he said as they reached the elevator to the parking garage. “Where else do we need to go in London other than Diagon Alley Damien?” Severus asked a couple minutes later as they had left the elevator and heading towards the car.

“You will see Sev.” Damien said.

Once they had reached the car Damien un-shrunk one of the baby carriers and buckled it into the left side of the middle seat right behind the driver’s seat. “Severus sit in the back with Emrys, I am driving because you do not know the way there” he said buckling Emrys into the carrier. “Where are we going Damien?” Severus asked again. “You will know when we get there Sev, so get into the car.” he said. Severus scowled at him then got into the back with Emrys. Damien put the Stroller in the way back then jumped into the Driver’s side.

After 30 minutes of driving Damien pulled up to the gates of a large Mansion “Damien for the last time where are we!” Severus said annoyed. “We are at one of the old Yui Estates.” Damien said. “Yes, but why are we here?” Severus asked. “We are here to ask my Brothers a favor.” He said. Severus sighed. Damien rolled down the window and reached out to press the little red button on the metal box outside his window. “Hey Rian, Dy can someone please open the gates for me.” “Ian is that you?” Came a voice through the box. “Yes Dy, can you please open the gates?” Damien said. “Sure once sec” Dylan said through the box. The gates in front of Damien started to swing open until Damien was able to pull the car through and head up the driveway as the gates closed behind them.

When Damien pulled up to the front of the mansion there was two identical men standing there to greet them. “Damien you should have told us that you were going to come and visit.” one of them said as Damien stepped out of the car. Damien laughed, “I know I should have Rian but where is the fun in that.” he said. Severus got out of the car holding Emrys in the carrier and stood next to Damien. “Oh My God! Severus Snape has a child!” Dylan shouted pointing at Severus. “That wasn’t very nice Dylan.” Dorian scolded. Damien laughed at his Brothers antics. “Rian I need a favor” Damien said.

Dorian smirked at Damien “Okay what did you do now Ian.” Dorian said laughing. Damien smirked back at his brother. “Oh, Nothing just decided to hide the Lights Savior right under their noses” he said. “Lights Savior? … No you can’t be telling me that the child that Severus Snape is holding is Harry Potter!” he nearly shouted. Damien nodded then took Emrys out of the carrier and into his arms. “I would like you to meet Emrys Snape or otherwise known as Harry Potter.” he said then laughed at his brothers’ shocked faces. Emrys gave the brothers a small wave.

“I need the Bloodlines Potion you invented Dorian, the one that mixes the bloodlines together instead of replacing one as the regular adoption potion does.” He said. Dorian blinked then laughed. “ I still can’t believe the two of you are doing this, but I will still help you… so lets get inside before Emrys gets sick” he said then walked back into the Mansion.

Damien put Emrys back into the carrier then followed his brothers inside with Severus closely behind. “Ian is it only the twins that live here?” Severus asked. “No they turned it into a Children’s Home/School, that is why you don’t see any children around because they are still in classes and the younger ones are in the Daycare Center.” he explained. Severus was shocked “You would never think that this was a Children’s Home from the outside.” Severus said. Damien laughed. “If you two are done talking we can go into my Office,” Dorian said motioning them inside.

Dorian sat down behind his desk “Your lucky I have some of that potion in stock because it takes a week to brew some more.” he said. Dylan walked into the Office with a vial in his hand “ Here is the potion Rian, I have Mess hall duty see you later” he said handing Dorian the vial then walking out of the room heading towards the Mess Hall. “Now this little guy needs to take this, then the changes will begin. But I need your finger for a moment Severus.” Dorian said getting up and walking over to them. Taking Severus’s hand he made a small cut on one of Seveus’s fingers with his wand and held the cut over the vial watching as several drops of Severus’ blood fell into the vial. Dorian healed the cut then handed the vial to Damien then went back to his desk. Severus settled Emrys in one of Damien’s arms. Damien looked at Emrys “ Okay Emrys will you take this for me, then Severus can be your real daddy and no can take you away from him, though I am sure your daddy’s boss will try his hardest to do so” he said down to the boy.

Emrys looked back at Severus who nodded his head gently reassuring Emrys that it was okay to take the potion. He turned back, looked at Damien, and smiled. Emrys took the potions vial in his little hands and tipped the potion so that it started to pour into his mouth. After a couple minutes, the potion was gone and Emrys eyes were slowly closing. Damien handed him back to Severus. Severus sat down on the couch that was up against the wall in the office and waited for the changes to begin.

Severus watched as Emrys became narrower, he grew a little longer in length, but the biggest change was Emrys’ hair, which now was a little longer and had lost the messy look that all potter males are born with, also he had deep red highlights going evenly through his hair. “Should he have changed this much Dorian? … He doesn’t look anything like a Potter now.” Severus asked concerned.

Dorian laughed “Yes Severus, he should change that much. The potion makes the child take on the adoptive father’s looks. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t look like a Potter now because I am sure he will have some Potter traits that you will see as he grows up, Plus it is all the more easier to fool Dumbledore if he looks like a Snape than a Potter.” He said Damien smirked “Yeah I got the pleasure to in the path of one of those Potter traits his ‘prankster side’” he said looking at Severus who was laughing.

Dorian and Dylan (who had just walked back into the room) laughed. “Did I just hear that our Big Brother was pranked by a little baby boy.” Dylan said then was drenched head to toe in ice-cold water. “Damien!” Dylan shouted. “What is this blame Damien day! Severus did the same thing this morning!” he said glaring at his brother. “I didn’t do it Dylan, it was the little prankster over there” he said pointing to Emrys “Apparently he does not like being called a baby.” he said looking at his drenched brother. Damien looked at Severus who trying not to laugh at what Emrys had done. Emrys had woken up and had a little scowl on his face from what Dylan had said.

“Severus, Emrys will probably have your height as well.” Dorian said, “That’s good to hear.” Severus said. “Oh, one more thing, Emrys will not require glasses unless for reading. Okay.” Dorian said. Severus nodded then looked down at Emrys who was still scowling, he laughed. “Emrys are you hungry?” he asked the scowling child. Emrys stopped scowling and looked up at him “Yesh.” he said then looked up again “Im a big boy, No baby!” Emrys demanded pointing to himself. Severus laughed again “Yes Emrys, You are a ‘Big Boy’ not a baby.” he reassured the child. “Dorian is there anywhere I can get Emrys something to eat.” Severus asked.

“Yes the Daycare.” Dorian said then turned to his twin “ Dylan are all the children back in their classes or somewhere away from the Daycare at least, Because it would be unfair to them to see Severus walking around with Emrys, they will think he is here to adopt another child.” Dorian said. Dylan sighed “Yes the only out are the older ones that have a free period or are getting ready for their after school jobs” Dylan said.

Dorian nodded. “Let’s go then, oh and Damien you are going to say hello to your niece and nephews right?” Dorian said as he walked towards the door of the office. Severus looked at Damien “When were you going to tell me you were an Uncle Ian.” Severus said. Damien sighed, “I don’t know Sev, and I haven’t been an uncle for very long time. Dorian and Dylan’s children that they adopted are only three years old.” Damien said. Severus nodded. The twins laughed at Severus’ reaction.

When they reached the Daycare, everyone walked in. One of the women working there walked over to them. “Well if it isn’t the Yui brothers all back together again” she said then gave them each a hug. Turning to Severus “Who might this young man be?” she asked. Damien laughed, “This is Severus Snape, Anne he is the Potions Professor at Hogwarts.” Damien said. Anne smiled “The Old Dumbles let you out of the castle” she said.

Severus laughed, “Yes the old coot let me leave.” he said. “So twins are you here to see your children or you just here to show off Severus’s child,” Anne asked. “We are here to see them, feed Emrys and see any new arrivals that you have here.” Dorian said. “New Arrivals?” Anne asked then her eyes widened “ Oh, we did have one little boy arrive today his grandmother said that she was to old to raise him” she said then walked over to one of the cribs and picked up a chubby little boy then walked back over to them.

“ This is Neville LongBottom everyone” she said. Severus’s eyes widened “Neville Longbottom! How did he survive the attack on his home? I heard that his parents were cursed to insanity.” he said. “Yes it was a very tragic event, but little Neville was hidden away pretty well by Alice before the Death Eaters stormed the house” she explained.

Severus nodded and set the Carrier and the baby bag one of the tables. Opening the baby bag Severus took out Emrys’s cup. “Do you mind if I take some milk, so I can feed Emrys “Severus asked. Anne smiled “Of course I won’t mind Severus, I was just going to feed the other youngsters as well,” Anne said.

Three children ran up and tackled Dylan and Dorian “Hi Daddy!” the shouted. Dorian picked up his son “Severus meet Dominic Yui,” he said. “Hello Dominic” Severus said. Dominic smiled at Severus then looked at Emrys “What is his name?” the little boy asked. “His name is Emrys, Dominic,” Severus said gently. The little boy’s eyes lit up “Hi! Emrys, my name is Dominic and those are my cousins Adri and Arri.” he proclaimed. Dylan’s children Adrian and Arriana smiled up at Emrys. Emrys smiled at them, and then whimpered when the sippy part of the cup hit his gums. Severus looked down at Emrys “Emrys what is wrong.” he said as Emrys continued to whimper. Anne walked back over while the other women were feeding the other children.

“May I take Emrys for a moment Severus?” Anne asked. Severus look at her for a moment then let her take Emrys from his arms. “Yui twins go feed your children, Damien go with them,” she said as she held the crying Emrys in her arms. As the Yui Brothers walked away, Anne smiled down at Emrys “Now what seems to be the problem young man.” asked the child gently. Anne pulled the sippy cup gently out of Emrys mouth. “Open wide for me child I want to see how many teeth you have.” she said. Emrys slowly open his mouth show that he had his front and bottom set of teeth. Anne took her pinky finger and ran it across Emrys mouth, but stopped as the boy whimpered as she touched his back gums.

“Ah, it seems that young Emrys here is getting his back set of teeth in Severus.” she said then walked over to a small Fridge with Emrys. Opening it with one hand Anne reached in and pulled out a blue teething ring, After closing the fridge Anne handed the teething ring to Emrys “ here you go Emrys, put this in your mouth it with help with the pain” she said gently. Emrys took the teething ring from Anne and put it into his mouth whimpering a bit when the cold ring touched his back gums, and then smiled up at Anne. Anne smiled back at him then reached up into the cupboard above the fridge and pulled out a small jar.

Anne walked back over to Severus. “Emrys is getting the last of his baby teeth in so it might be quite painfully for him if something hits his back gums.” She said then handed the small jar to Severus “This for his gums when they start to hurt him, just rub some of this on his gums and it should numb them for several hours.” she said. Anne gave Emrys back to Severus after he had put the small jar away in the baby bag. “Thank you Anne” Severus said as he took Emrys back into his arms again. “You’re welcome Severus,” she said smiling at him.

Anne looked at Emrys with a confused look “Severus has Emrys started to walk yet?” she asked. Severus looked at her blankly “Ah, I do not know if Emrys can walk yet, I have been carrying him sense I got him.” Severus said. “Well put him down on his feet so we can see if he can stand, most children at his age are already walking or start to at two years.” She said. Severus put Emrys down on his feet in front of him. He let go of Emrys, but kept his hands near incase Emrys fell. Emrys swayed a bit, but stayed upright. “Now let’s see if he can walk, as he has the standing part down.” Anne said.

Severus knelt down next to Emrys “ Emrys lets go see Ian okay.” he said gently taking Emrys little hand and stood up, then he took one step forward and watched as Emrys took a few wobbly steps to catch up with him, then kept going pulling Severus along with him. When they reached the table where the Yui brothers sat with their children, Severus let go of Emrys hand and watched him wobble over to Damien. “Damien Look!” Severus said loudly. Damien jumped at Severus’ loud voice and looked up at him “Severus why are you yelling?” he asked then something hit his legs. Damien looked down to see Emrys smiling up at him. “Well, how did you get over here?” Damien asked the boy. “He walked over obviously.” Severus said smirking at him.

“You’re such a big boy Emrys.” Damien said as he pulled the boy up on his lap. “Should we continue our shopping trip?” Damien said smirking knowing how much Severus hated to shop for anything but potions supplies. Severus glared at him “If we must.” Severus said scowling. “Before you leave Severus I have some paperwork to give you for Emrys and your godson Draco.” “For Draco? Why would I Need paper work on him?” Severus asked confused “Damien told me that you were taking Draco for the Malfoy’s until after New Year’s so I want to have you fill out some papers that will show that you are Draco’s guardian if something should happen to his parents or they decide to stay away longer than they planned.” Dorian said. “If I must, but I still don’t see the point in filling out guardianship papers for Draco when his parents would never let me have full guardianship of Draco,” Severus said still confused.

Emrys looked up at Damien “Ian I a big boy!” the boy proclaimed loudly. Damien looked down at Emrys surprised “Yes Emrys, you are a big boy and a smart one as well.” Damien said. Damien stood up with Emrys in his arms “Well let’s go to the office now so we can finish our shopping before Severus changes his mind” Damien said. Severus glared at Damien again. The Yui brothers said goodbye to the children then they all headed back to Dorian’s office.

“Severus why don’t you sit at my desk, so you will have a surface to write on as I give you the papers for you to fill-out or sign.” Dorian said after they entered the office again. Severus nodded and went to sit at the large desk in the middle of the room. Dorian walked around his desk and opened the small fridge that was behind his desk, taking some drinks out for him, Severus and Damien. In addition, he took out a tiny bowl with a lid for Emrys. Dorian walked over Damien who still held Emrys. Dorian handed Damien one of the drinks and the bowl as Damien sat down on the couch with Emrys “The bowl has some biscuits for Emrys in it Okay” he said then walked over to the large black filling cabinet over in the corner of the room. Opening the bottom drawer Dorian pulled out two file folders filled with all of the muggle paperwork and wizarding paperwork that Severus would need.

Dorian set the folders in front of Severus “Okay Severus there is two types of forms here in these folders. There is the Muggle paper work like the Adoption forms for Emrys and Draco, Don’t say anything Severus just fill it out and sign” he said when Severus started to Protest. “ The Adoption forms will not go into affect unless something happens to Lucius and Narrcissa Malfoy or they give you permission to raise Draco because they can’t or just plain don’t want to, the next set of muggle forms are to make you. Emrys and Draco Muggle citizens of England just incase you have to hide or if you live at your Uncle’s for a long period of time as he lives in the muggle world. Even though he is a wizard, those forms will give you all the credentials you need to live in the muggle world if you so choose. The other type of forms is the Wizarding Forms that I think you can fill out on your own, I will help you will the muggle paperwork.” Dorian explained to the very confused Severus Snape.

While Severus and Dorian were filling out all the paperwork, Dylan was sitting over with Damien and Emrys. “ I still can not believe you are still going to hide the Lights Savior right in front of Dumbledore’s nose.” Dylan commented to his brother as he watched Dorian help Severus fill out everything. Damien laughed, “Severus lost all resentment he had for the child savior when he found him abandoned in that alley near the Leaky Cauldron,” Damien said. Dylan blinked “So that’s what happens to the little guy, I was wondering why he had a cast on his arm.” Dylan said. “Yes, I was waiting for one of you to ask about Emrys cast, Severus thinks that Emrys little arm broke from being thrown on the hard cement ground so hard.” Damien said. Dylan just shook his head at the thought of someone being so cruel to a child.

After almost 30 minutes, Dorian and Severus were finally done with all the paper work. Damien said goodbye to his brothers, while Severus got Emrys settled in his carrier again. Severus put the file folders into the baby bag then slipped the bag on his shoulder while he picked up Emrys in the carrier with the other hand. They left Dorian’s office heading towards Severus’s car out front. Once they reached the car Severus Buckled Emrys’ carrier into the back passenger side seat, then Severus and Damien got into the Front seats. Severus started the car up then started to head towards Charring Cross Road where Diagon Alley was located

Almost an hour later they reached Charring Cross Road. Severus parked a couple blocks from the old abandoned shop that housed the Leaky Cauldron. Severus and Damien got out of the car. Damien went to the back of the SUV and pulled out the stroller that Severus had bought this morning. While Severus opened the back passenger, door and started to dress Emrys for the cold November weather, as the Alley was not in-closed as the mall was.

Damien opened up the stroller and pushed up towards Severus, who had just finished putting a hat on Emrys that covered his forehead nicely including his lighting Bolt scar that hadn’t disappeared when Emrys was given the Bloodlines Potion. Severus picked Emrys up into his arms as Damien stopped in front of them with the stroller. “Damien you know that people will frown apon that stroller in the Alley.” Severus said. “I know Severus, but some muggle things are quite useful and you must ignore what other people think about you using muggle things Sev, Besides I think that people would also frown apon you owning this nice SUV here as well.” Damien said. Severus scowled at him “Point taken.” he said.

Severus pulled up the backseat of the stroller, and then set Emrys into it. After buckling Emrys in, they set off towards the Leaky Cauldron. As they walked in a tall man with long platinum blond, hair walked over to them with a child in his arms. “Severus may I have a moment of your time” he said sneering at Damien. “Lucius what are you doing here, I am not supposed to pick up Draco for another couple days.” Severus said. Lucius scowled at him.

“Sorry to inconvince you Severus, but Narrcissa and I are leaving the country for an undetermined amount of time and thought you should be inform of this change,” he said. Severus glared at Lucius “So you expect me to raise your son, surly you know that I would not raise Draco the way you would have wanted. Are you sure you want to entrust Draco to me still?” he said as he walked over to Lucius and took Draco into his arms. Lucius scowled at Severus. “Of course I would still entrust Draco to you Severus, you are the boy’s godfather.” he said. Severus smirked “Well, Good Day Lucius, I have things I must do before I return to Hogwarts.” Severus said walking over to the stroller where Emrys was peaking his head out. Lucius turned to leave when he saw Emrys.

“Severus who is that.” Lucius demanded. Severus ignores him and put Draco in the front seat of the stroller buckling him in. Lucius walked over “Who is that Severus.” Lucius snapped then looked down at Draco.“Do not put my son in that muggle contraption Severus, why do you even have that thing at all.” Lucius snapped Severus stood up and looked Lucius straight in the eye “ Do not yell Lucius you will scare Emrys” Severus said “ Emrys!” Lucius shouted. “I told you-” Severus started but stopped when he heard a whimper from the stroller. Severus sighed then reached in and took Emrys out of the stroller. “Its okay Emrys, Lucius did not mean to scare you.” he said gently.

Emrys looked up at him “Daddy hurts” Emrys said with his little hand on his chest. Severus glared at Lucius then went for the baby bag pulling out Emrys inhaler. Severus shook the inhaler twice then pushed the canister down twice then slipped the mask over Emrys’ nose and mouth. “There now Emrys breath in it will make your chest stop hurting” he said gently then continued to glare at Lucius. “I think you should leave Lucius before you cause anymore problems.” Severus snapped. “Why do you have so many muggle things Severus.” Lucius questioned. “Because they are useful, and my son needs this particular device for his asthma Lucius.” Severus snapped. Lucius glared at Severus then stormed out the door.

Severus looked at Damien “Can you un-shrink some clothes for Draco, while finish giving Emrys is treatment?” he asked. Damien nodded and pulled out some tiny clothes from the baby bag. Damien waved his wand over the clothes whispering the spell to enlarge them. “Sev lets go into the bath room to change Draco.” he said. Severus nodded and started to walk towards the bathroom with Emrys. “Tom can we use your bathroom please?” Damien asked. Tom looked up from the bar and smiled at Damien “Sure Dr. Yui.” Tom said tossing Damien the key. “Thanks Tom, See you later” Damien said catching the key, and then went to catch up with Severus pushing Draco in the stroller.

In the bathroom, Damien conjured a changing table for Draco. Damien took Draco out of the front of the stroller and layed him down on the table. “Damien is it supposed to take this long to work?” Severus asked as Damien started to un-dress Draco. Damien looked back at Severus “Yes, it is probably all the magic around us, kids their age should not have a lot of magic around them, it overloads their cores that are just starting to expand.” Damien explained as he re-dress Draco in warmer winter muggle clothes that they had brought for the boys. Damien sat Draco up on the table, slipping some sliver and black trainers on the boy’s feet, then slipped Draco’s arms into a sliver and black jacket with dragons on it. Lastly, Damien slipped a sliver hat like Emrys over his small head.

Severus pushed the back seat of the stroller down all the way then layed Emrys down inside and pulled the green blanket Damien had left in there over the fast asleep boy. Damien set Draco in the front seat buckling him in. Then they all left the bath room.

Once in Diagon Alley, Severus and Damien headed for Madam Pepita’s Little Wizards Shoppe deciding to get the children’s wizarding supplies first before restocking their supplies. As they walked in, they were greeted by a kind looking lady. “Hello gentlemen, Welcome to my Shoppe, How may I help you today?” she asked kindly. “We are in need of supplies for two 1 ½ year old boys so that they may safely stay in my Potions classroom and my chambers at Hogwarts.” Severus stated.

Madame Pepita smiled at Severus then walked over to them and peered into the stroller to glance at the small sleeping child and smiled gently at Draco. “It has been a long time since I have had any Hogwarts Professors come into my Shoppe, I have just what you need my young Potions Professor.” she said kindly then began to lead them personally through the Shoppe picking out everything she thought Severus would need. After two hours of being led around the Shoppe, they finally made it to the checkout counter.

“You did not need to escort us around Madame.” Severus said as he paid for the supplies. “It was my pleasure young Severus.” she said and laughed at the shocked expression on the young man’s face. “Yes Albus has told me a lot about you Severus Snape.” she chuckled as Severus paled. “Do not worry young man I will not tell Albus that you have taken Harry Potter from his muggle relatives.” Severus scowled at the woman. “I did not take Harry Potter from those retched muggles they abandoned him in London. Also his name is not Harry Potter anymore it is Emrys Snape as he is my son now.” Severus said annoyed.

“Well then it is good that you found him then, I think that Emrys suits the boy better than Harry ever did.” she said “You will not inform Albus of this Madame, for he will try to take my son away from me if he is inform of this!” Severus growled at her. Madame Pepita walked around the counter and over to Severus cuping his face with her hand. “My, my such a Overprotective father you are already Severus, but don’t you worry I will not tell Albus that you have adopted the boy, you have my word young man.” she stated staring straight into the man’s eyes.

They left Madame Pepita’s after they shrunk the children supplies and set them all in the baby bag, but only after Madame Pepita had reassured Severus that she would not inform Albus that he has Emrys. It took Severus and Damien another couple of hours to restock all the supplies for Hogwarts and the Mannor, because Severus did not know if his Uncle had enough supplies for three extra people. Also they had to stop for lunch to feed the Boys.

As they walked towards the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron, Severus heard someone call out his name. Turning around Severus saw the last person he would ever want to see. Remus Lupin was running towards them at full speed. “Snape wait!” Remus said, as he got closer. “Lupin what do you want I do not have time for you” Severus sneered.

Remus stopped running once he reached them and stared at Severus then Emrys in the stroller. “What are you doing with Harry Severus Snape!” Remus demanded. Damien eyes widened “Dahm werewolf senses.” Severus cursed. “Snape answer me!” Remus’ eyes flashed yellow for a second. Severus sighed. “I will tell you if you do not go to Dumbledore with the information Lupin.” Severus said Remus calmed down a little “Snape I was just on my way to Hogwarts to try to get Dumbledore to let me take Harry out of his muggle relative’s home, when I smelt Harry scent.” Remus said.

Severus sighed “Fine Lupin I will tell you , Emrys is my son that is why he is with me.” Severus said. “Emrys? Why are you calling Harry ‘Emrys’ Snape that is not his name.” Remus asked confused. Severus smirked “His name is no longer Harry Potter it is Emrys Snape now.” he said. “Do not tell me that you adopted Harry Snape, You hated James why would you adopt his son!” Remus said. “Moony!” they all turned to see Emrys trying to get out of the stroller. Severus picked up Emrys and held him. Emrys wiggled in Severus’ arms “ Moony!” he shouted again reaching out for Remus.

“Emrys! Will you please stop moving, or I will not let you see the wolf.” Severus said “Moony.” Emrys whimpered but stopped moving. Severus sighed then walked over to Lupin. “Lupin I will let you hold Emrys and I will permit you to come with us as I am not staying here any longer, Also you are to be careful of his arm as I do not want it injured more than it already is.” Severus said calmly as he handed Emrys to Lupin “Hi Moony!” Emrys nearly shouted as he was placed into Remus’ arms. “Well hello there Harry did you miss me.” Remus said smiling. Emrys scowled at him “No Harry, Me Emrys Moony!” he said still scowling at Remus. Damien laughed at the look on Remus’ face. “Yes Remus, Emrys has quickly picked up Severus’s bad habits.” he said answering the unspoken question. Severus glared at Damien “Bad habits!” he growled. Damien laughed “Yes Sev , Bad habits” he said.

Severus glared at Damien the turned to Lupin. “Lets be on our way I would like to leave before Emrys’ asthma starts to act up again.” he said as he turned around and walked through the entrance way. Remus looked at Damien confused “When did he get asthma , he did not it before.” Remus asked. “I will tell you later, now we have to go before Severus leaves without us.” Damien said turning and heading through the entrance way Remus following closely behind. Once inside Damien notice that Severus and Draco were not in the pub anymore and quickly led Remus outside.

“Are you quite done Damien so we can leave, we must reach our destination before dark.” Severus said scowling. Damien sighed. “Severus nothing is going to happen to us if we get there after dark.” Damien reassured his friend as he took Emrys out of Remus’ arms and set him in the other car seat that Severus had put it while he was waiting for them to come. “Lupin get in between the boys.” Severus snapped then got in the driver side and started up the car. Remus and Damien jumped into the car before Severus actually left them behind.
