Review Responses:
Nathoca: Sorry you were upset with the last chapter. Once Lily heard about Dudley, there was nothing to stop her, she may had even forgotten what Severus had said at the time.. She could see her sister had changed, even if the others couldn't. Lily has a forgiving nature- Like Harry does. In canon he named one of his son's after Snape, even after the way Snape had treated him. I also can't see Harry making someone choose between him and another person(especially his mother), he's not a very selfish person. But during that moment, that would have been an interesting thing for him to say.
Starr: Yeah :(
Chapter 10
"Is there any way to reverse the spell on my parents?" Lily asked Severus, lifting her gaze up from their chess game to look at him. "It'll feel strange with them not at my wedding..." she moved a pawn forward, calling him into Check.
"Yes... The problem is finding them; who knows where they are after all these years."
"But aren't there spells that can seek things; objects and people?"
Severus eyed the chessboard in thought. He moved his king a space back. "If we had an object that belonged to your Mother or Father; yes. I have a teacup that was your mother's-" he turned toward a shelf behind him and pointed to a jar. "Evidently, your darling son and his friends broke it during a rowdy game of snowball fighting that had gotten out of hand."
"It won't work after it's broken then?"
Severus gravely shook his head."Such objects must be kept in the same condition that it had been when it had belonged to the person you seek to find."
"Maybe... my vault... has something..."
Severus shrugged. "You could-" he sent his queen up to attack her only remaining rook. "-look in it. Checkmate, by the way." He said nonchalantly, with a straight look on his face.
Lily rolled her eyes. She could never win a chess match with Severus as her opponent.
A week later, after searching through her vault, Lily had been able to find an old set of muggle car keys that belonged to her father.
"These should work." Severus commented after inspecting them thoroughly. "Keys are hard to muck up." He stood behind one of his many work tables in his Potions basement. Severus then accio'ed a tracking potion and poured it onto the set of keys. White light swirled around the metal, creating a shining brightness. It then dimmed and an orb hovered above the keys before it slowly floated away and up the stairs leading to the floor above them.
"Stay with Harry, I'll follow the orb."
Lily nodded. She had wanted to go, but Harry needed someone with him. "Good luck..."
It was several days before she had heard anything from Severus. His owl arrived one night, interrupting Harry and Lily's game of Mario. Harry quickly forgot about the game and jumped into his mother's lap when he had heard Temperard (Severus' prized owl) swoop in and drop the letter into Lily's lap.
"Still looking, but I have high hopes. The orb is remaining solid, which is a very good sign. I love you, Lily Flower. Give Harry a hug for me. I miss you both.'
Lily and Harry hugged tightly, missing the man before Harry announced that he was going to write Severus a reply. "I've got to tell him that I passed World 2 all by myself!"
Another three days went by and Lily was sure he'd end up losing track of the orb, knowing he couldn't have slept at all during this time (the spell didn't stop for him to sleep). After nearly a week of being gone though, she heard him whisper her name in the wee hours of the night.
Lily leaped out of bed, and rushed to the tall man standing at her bedroom door. She hugged him. "Did you find them?" She asked eagerly.
"Yes." He kissed her cheek. "And the spell has been successfully reversed." He said happily, tugging her out of her room by the hand and quickly taking her down to the living room where both her parents stood, a suitcase by each of their feet.
Lily got her red hair from her father. Neither of her parents had her green eyes though. That was something she had inherited from her grandfather. Her mother (Violet Evans) had wavy brown hair, and was a little shorter than Lily. Lily's father (Henry Evans) was a tall man, who kept his red hair short.
"Lily!" They each gasped out and the three met together, sobbing with happiness.
"Mama! Papa!" Lily cried. "I am so happy to see you again!"
"I've invited them to stay during the coarse of the wedding. They can meet Harry this way." Severus said at a distance, explaining their luggage.
"It's so strange, it feels like just yesterday that you were announcing your engagement to James." Henry said.
"But I am so happy that you and Severus are friends again, and even getting married!" Violet squealed. Violet had always been nice to Severus. When she had found out that he had called Lily that horrible name, Lily had to stop the woman from marching over to the Snape's and giving the boy a good earful. She had been so upset, and secretly had once hoped the two of them would have gotten married sometime in their future.
"Now... let me see my grandbaby." Violet said, pushing herself through her husband and daughter.
"Just be quiet about it, Mum, Harry's sleeping."
"Dear, let's just wait until the morning." Henry suggested, picking up their suitcases.
"Nonsense. For years, I've dreamed of having grandchildren, and, today, I learned that I have two. I have some catching up to do." As she passed Severus, she pointed a finger at him. "You best give me a granddaughter, Severus."
Severus broke out into a series of coughing. Children hadn't even came up as a topic between him and Lily yet. And he hadn't given it much thought himself. Before Harry, he had always assumed that he would have a childless life, having no desire in following his father's footsteps.

At the wedding rehearsal, the invited guests were arriving one by one. Harry, Neville, and Draco had been chasing each other around with toy wands before Draco halted suddenly.
"Look, Neville, " he pointed at Dudley who was looking around with a frightened look on his face, huddling near his mother. "You're not the fat kid anymore." Draco giggled.
"Whoa... he is pretty big." Neville said catching sight of the bigger boy.
"Be nice to him." Harry said cautiously. "He can be really mean, and he'll sit on you. Then you can't breathe."
Draco eyes grew and he gulped. "He'd probably break a bone."
Neville then went off to play with a passing Luna Lovegood, Draco followed, simply to make kissing noises at them.
Petunia crossed the room after seeing Harry. Dudley followed closely behind her. "Here, Harry." She said gently and handed him a wrapped gift box. "Dudley and I would like to apologize for the way we've acted toward you." She said sincerely.
Harry felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked up to see Severus curling his lips at Petunia. She chuckled nervously, and Harry took the gift box, slightly shocked to receive anything at all from her. "Thanks, Aunt Petunia." Harry said politely.
Petunia quickly returned back to Lily and their parents, Dudley clutching a handful of her dress, glancing back every so often at Severus.
"I think you scare my cousin." Harry noted to Severus, picking at the gift box's wrapping.
"Good." Severus smirked. "Might do him a bit of good to be scared."
"Uncle Vernon hit him." Harry reminded him in a whisper. "Just like he did me..."
The hand on Harry's shoulder squeezed him gently. "You're both safe from that man now."
Harry tilted his head, looking at his aunt. "Maybe someone will marry Aunt Petunia too. And she might get a nice husband, and Dudley can get a new good dad too; just like I've got."
Severus rolled his eyes. "You're too much like your mother, Harry."
The next day, everyone was in a frenzy, Lily was double and triple checking all the preparations, in fear one little thing would go wrong.
Severus was conducting Piddles and his family of elves, ensuring the Prince Manor was in order.
"Make sure all the bathrooms are clean and have fresh toiletries." He said for the fifth time that day. "Don't forget about the wine."
"Of course Master Prince." Piddles was patient with the man, overly thankful to finally have Severus use him as he was intended for. The elf was extremely excited that his Master had decided to use the Prince Manor for the wedding. It had been over thirty years since anything grand had occurred inside it.
"Thank you all." Severus gratefully looked down at Piddles, Twitchy, and their two born free children, Pudds and Itches. "Whatever you want, you've got it."
All of them squealed in happiness and they took off to do what Severus had requested, sharing ideas on what they should ask for as payment.
"They are cute." Harry commented, coming up to Severus who was absorbed in his thoughts on what to check next.
"If just a bit annoying." Severus grumbled to the boy.
"I want one of them someday."
"You don't need one." Severus began walking to the huge kitchen to ensure everything was running smoothly there.
"Not for a slave, Severus!" Harry said indignantly. "They would make the perfect friends. They are always happy. And they make yummy raisin bread."
"That recipe has been in the Prince family since raisin bread was first created. My mother made it for me when I was a child." Harry noticed Severus' eyes moist up.
"What happened to your mum, Severus?"
Severus paused his walking for just a moment, tilting his head, he then entered the kitchen. "I'll tell you when you're older."
Harry frowned. He hated when people said things like that. He took it as a way to brush him off.
Severus then began doing lots of boring things, like tasting foods and stirring bubbling pots, so Harry went off to find something to entertain himself. He had nothing to do since there were going to be no kids coming for several hours, but he had been watching everyone make sure every detail to his Mother and Severus' wedding was perfect. It semi interested him and he couldn't wait until they were really married. In the past four months, Harry had been so happy to have his Mum with him, something he had wish for everyday since he could remember. He had wished for his Dad too, but he couldn't be too greedy, and Severus was a good dad, so Harry wouldn't complain. Severus had also saved him, and he was the best man Harry had ever known. He was perfect for his Mum.
Harry was really happy that his Mum loved Severus. They could now all be together, happy forever. Just like in the fairytale books that Mrs. Longbottom reads to him, Draco, and Neville.
"Hello, Harry." Henry greeted warmly, he had several bags of decorations in his arms.
"Need help, Grandpa?"
"Yes, come! Come help me, thank you!" Harry relieved him of two bags.
"Where do these go?"
"The ballroom. Do you remember where that is?" He asked the boy with a confused look. "Because I forgot." He admitted sheepishly. "I've never been in a building so huge!"
"Um..." Harry thought for a second, before gesturing his grandpa to follow. "We go out these doors." He pointed ahead of them, and they walked through the doors."And then look for a purple door with a grey door handle. Two turns to the... left- I think..." Harry paused, frowning. What was the next step...? He looked around and spotted the painting of Severus' many greats grandfather. "The vampire!" Harry exclaimed, racing up to it.
"Vampire?" Henry sounded a bit edgy at the mentioning.
"See? Alucard." Harry set the bags down, and stood on his tiptoes to tap the portrait's name. "Alucard Bram Prince."
"He does look like a vampire." Henry said after thoroughly look at the man. His skin was so pale that it looked white. He had black piercing eyes, and he wore a fashionable set of black robes, not too unlike of what Severus wore. A bat also sat atop of his shoulder.
"He was a vampire when he was alive. Severus said so." Harry said, pulling the red door next to the painting open. "This was a favourite room."
"The ballroom?"
"Yep. Alucard loved to dance. He was..." Harry scrunched up his face, trying to remember the story clearly. "A master at seducing the ladies. He impressed the girls with his dancing skills. Severus told me that Alucard had a magical power that made all the girls enchanted after just one dance with him."
Henry followed Harry to a long table to deposit the bags. "And then what happened?" he asked his grandson with interest.
Harry laughed. "He sucked their blood, Grandpa! He was a vampire after all!"

"It's not too many daisies, is it?" Lily whispered to Severus worriedly. She sat next to him in front of the five other tables in the ballroom of the Prince Manor; a tiny party, considering the size of the room. Lily was glancing around nervously. Her bottom lip tucked between her teeth.
"Not at all, Lily." Severus assured her. "It's just perfect." He reached up to touch the daisy crown that rested on the top of her head.
Harry came rushing up to them, stopping at the opposite side of the table, poking the cake with his finger, and taking a decorative daisy made of frosting off it.
"I just told you not to do that!" Severus scolded.
"But it's good." Harry argued, licking his sticky finger.
"No one wants your filthy finger touching their food!"
"Harry, grab a piece that has already been cut." Lily interjected softly.
"You do realize it is only the frosting he's after, right?" Severus told Lily, watching Harry skip off with a big piece of cake.
Lily smiled and scraped the frosting off her own piece of cake. "It's the only reason why I eat it."
Severus shook his head, but he was thoroughly amused by her comment. "I should have just bought a bucket of frosting." He jokingly grumbled.
"Oh, a wedding tower of frosting!" Lily's eyes lit up childishly. "I like that idea!"
"Can we dance yet, Uncle Severus?" Draco asked as he and Lucius approached the table.
"After we just ate cake?" Lily asked. "I don't think that's very wise."
"I took a Stomach Settler." Draco said proudly. "Didn't I, Father?"
"You did." Lucius simply said and addressed Severus, "The kids are excited to get out on the dance floor, but traditionally, the bride and groom are the first to dance."
Severus grunted. "We could forget about tradition for once in our lifetime."
"You're a terrific dancer, Severus." Lucius said with a smirk before glancing toward Lily.
Lily grinned, noting the man's sarcasm. "You can't dance?" She asked Severus.
"I have two left feet when it comes to ballroom dancing." He grumbled.
"Come on, Uncle Severus. Even Father would like to dance."
"He just wants to show off his talent." Severus crossed his arms.
Lucius chuckled. "You know me so well, Severus."
Lily stood up, making sure her daisy crown was secured to her head before snatching Severus' arm. "Come, Sev love, let's dance."
"Oh, Lily... please..." Severus groaned.
"It'll be fun!" Lily pulled at him, but he remained seated. "For me?" She asked sweetly.
Severus sighed and stood up. "Laugh at me, and I'll hex you." He warned Lucius darkly whose eyes were shining with amusement.
Lily led the reluctant Severus to the center of the room. "Ev-Everyone is wat-watching us, L-Lily." He whispered.
Lily placed Severus' hands where they should be and kissed his cheek tenderly. "Just ignore them, and look at me. Pretend it is only you and I in the room."
Severus nodded and took a deep breath.
"Ready?" Lily asked him when he appeared to had relaxed some.
"Yes."
Lily motioned for Remus to start the record player. Severus' eyes widened when he heard the first three notes. "This-"
"Is our song." She said. "Dance now, my love." And he obeyed, his eyes watering, listening to the song she had Remus play.
"There was love all around..." he whispered into her ear, as he swayed her to the rhythm of the song. "But I never heard it singing. No, I never heard it at all."
"Till there was you..." Lily finished, a smile of complete happiness frozen to her face.
"I love you, my Lily Flower." Severus murmured against her lips.
