starr: I had actually expected a totally different response to this than I have gotten. I, too, thought this was funny, heh.
SheWhoIsPowerful: Everyone enjoyed the ending to that chapter, lol.
"How is Harry?" Lily asked when Severus joined her into the kitchen for tea.
"Better," his reply was simple and cold.
Lily frowned at his tone. Obviously he was upset that she had forbidden Harry from trying out for the new Quidditch league. She knew Severus felt like she was coddling her son, but Lily couldn't bare the thought of Harry getting hurt. She loved her son more than anything.
"I'm sorry for what I said," she said softly, staring into her cup of tea. "I'm just... afraid for him."
"And you think that's what upset me?" Lily had a difficult time in keeping from shuddering. He could sound creepy when he was upset.
"Wasn't that it?"
"You don't even know what you're apologizing for," he said slowly, disapprovingly.
"Then I am confused," Lily confessed quietly. She stuck her finger in her tea and swirled it around.
A chair drug across the flooring as Severus pulled it out from underneath the table to sit down in. "We're supposed to be married," he told her bitterly.
"This has nothing to do with our marriage, Severus."
"I beg to differ. When people get married, they share everything. This includes their assets and lives."
"I am not understanding you."
Severus leaned back into his chair and sighed. "It's great that Harry has his mother back, and I don't blame you for wanting to ensure him his safety, but, Lily-" he stopped and looked away. His eyebrows wrinkled. Lily couldn't tell if he was concerned or flustered. Perhaps it was both.
"What, Severus?" She asked gently. "What is bothering you?"
"You're his mother," he whispered, unable to find his voice. His eyes welled up.
Lily stood from her seat and walked to him, setting a hand onto his shoulder. "Tell me, love," she urged him gently, squeezing his shoulder.
"I'm happy that you and Harry have been reunited. It's a true miracle, but," he met her eyes with his, taking her free hand to hold. "I adopted that boy last year, I raised him as if he were my own. We have formed a bond together. I may not be his father, but Harry and I have built something strong. We've been there for each other. I love you, Lily, I really do, but what you said earlier was heartbreaking. You made it sound like I didn't matter at all when it comes to Harry." Tears fell from his reddening eyes. "You made it clear that because I am not his real parent, I truly have no right to express my opinion on what should be decided with him. I disagree wholeheartedly. I changed my life for that boy. I did everything I could to better his life. What you said was completely unfair to both Harry and I." He twitched his lips, squeezing her hand, and looked down at their conjoined hands. "But, I'll do whatever you want me to, because I made that promise to you. So if you think that I shouldn't raise Harry any longer than I'll leave him all to you. I won't be happy about it though, and neither will your son."
Lily's own eyes filled with tears. So that's what had bothered him, when she had taken over completely, not giving him a say whatsoever. She hugged Severus tightly, sobbing softly, unable to say anything at the moment. How could she have overlooked him like that?
"Oh, don't cry, Lily," Severus pleaded gently. "I shouldn't have said anything. I didn't want to upset you..." he tapped her back with his hand.
"I'm sorry, Severus." She whispered into his neck. "I wasn't really thinking about your feelings earlier. It hadn't come to my mind on how you would feel about all this." She dabbed her eyes with a tissue. "How horrid of me to not consider your feelings on this. It must be extremely difficult to be in your position after looking after Harry on your own for so long."
He said nothing, feeling guilty to have made her cry.
"You're right though. We're married and we share everything now, including Harry."
Very slowly, Severus' lips turned upward into a smile. "Is that what you really want, my Lily Flower?" He asked.
She nodded, returning the smile. "I don't want to do this alone and I want you there with me. Besides, you're a terrific dad! Harry just adores you!"
He brought her down into his lap, embracing her into a tight hug. "Thank you," he said happily and kissed her.

Harry got himself ready for dinner, silently repeating everything Severus had told him. What he had planned to do was easy enough, but his stomach was anxious just the same. He wasn't really hungry, but Severus never allowed him to skip a meal, and Mum wouldn't either.
Harry shut the water off to the faucet once he had heard his mother calling him down for dinner. He looked at himself, making sure his hair was combed as neatly as he could before venturing down to the kitchen.
"Thanks for dinner, Mum," he said in his most childish voice, he avoided Severus' eyes, unwilling to let his mother get any idea that the two had went behind her back to get what he wanted.
"You're very welcome, Harry." She replied, giving her a smile.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you today," Harry added. Which was true, he did feel bad, and he did understand why Mum was so protective. Severus helped him with that.
"I forgive you, sweety." Lily set a plate of food down for him.
Harry swallowed hard, noticing the green beans on the plate, he glanced at Severus who was watching him as he always did when it came to meal times. He gave Harry a slight nod, one that was barely noticeable.
If he wanted to play Quidditch, he'd have to eat these gross things. Slowly, he consumed his dinner in silence as Severus and his Mum talked.
"Would you like dessert, Harry?" Mum asked when he was through.
'Everyone has a weakness, Harry.' Severus told him. 'What do you think you mother's is?'
'Mum's not afraid of anything.' Harry told him proudly.
'A weakness doesn't always imply to something you fear. For example, some people will do anything for a bar of chocolate. In a way, that could be considered a weakness; An inability to refuse something that you love so much.'
'She likes cute things. Remember when she helped the orphaned kitten, and found it a new home?' Harry said after a thought, smiling at Severus' proud look.
'That she does. And do you remember the look on that unfortunate kitten's face when your mother first laid eyes onto it?'
'Kind of sad, yet hopeful.'
'Exactly.'
"Mum, could I trade my dessert to play Quidditch?" Harry asked with all the boyish charm he could gather.
Mum frowned. "I don't want-" she paused when Harry sent her the pitiful look that he had practiced all day in his room. Judging by her response, he may had perfected it.
"Please, Mummy?" He added for good measure. "I promise I'll be really careful. I am best at seeking, which is really the safest position, I bet I would get accepted for Seeker very easily."
Mum sighed. This gave Harry a touch of hope. His heart thudded with anticipation. He saw her bite her lip and look at Severus who didn't do anything but stare back innocently.
Harry gave a silent prayer, hoping Mum would changed her mind.
Mum tilted her head, furrowing her eyebrows and she closed her eyes. "Alright," she finally said exasperatedly.
Harry cheered ecstatically and jumped up from the table, crashing into her. "Thanks so much, Mum!" He hugged her tightly. "Thank you! Thank you!"
"But one injury and you're out!" She added stiffly.
"Okay!" Harry didn't care what the speculations were after that. He'd do chores for the rest of his life if that was what she wanted.
He was going to play Quidditch!

The next day, Lily sat in the the living room with her wand held out, practicing a spell that she had read from a book. Lately, she had been thinking about her unfinished education, but now that she was a mother, she couldn't really go to Hogwarts anymore. She'd been studying books to increase her knowledge though, to fill the gap in her education that she currently had.
Eventually, she wanted to make a complete meal using just magic like Severus could do. To do that, she had to cast multiple spells at once, providing enough magic for each spell to last several minutes. This took a lot of energy and concentration.
Concentration that was broken off when Severus entered the room at that moment. While he had made no noise, always having such skill, she could not help but to feel his presence, hovering at the doorway. He did not venture further in, not wishing to disturb her, nonetheless, that didn't really much matter. Lily's animated feather duster fell and the pages of the book that she had been magically flipping instantly stopped. Lily huffed in frustration and sent him a glare, upset of her lost attention on her spell performance.
He sent her a lazy smile. "Keep trying, you'll get it."
Lily snapped her study book closed and sighed. "Only if you're not around to distract me."
"It is not my fault that you find me so attractive," Severus drawled, crossing the room and sitting next to Lily, wrapping an arm around her. He kissed her forehead. "You're getting better though."
"I feel like such an amateur," she grumbled.
"Oh, Lily." He tightened his hold on her. "You are the best witch I know."
"I can't even apparate!" Lily put her wand on the coffee table and settled herself against him, resting her head against his beating chest.
"Only because you haven't been taught how," Severus told her softly. He rubbed her shoulder soothingly.
"Well, I'm tired of having you take me everywhere I go."
Severus ran his hand through her long hair. "It's not something you should learn on your own, so don't even think it," he said firmly.
Lily lifted her head to look up at him. "Would you teach me then?"
"I-" he paused, giving it a thought. "It's quite dangerous..."
Lily kissed his cheek. "Please?" She asked. "You know how to do it, I don't have any doubts that you can instruct me better than anyone."
He sighed and Lily knew he wouldn't say no then, but she wanted to hear him actually agree before she got her hopes up. "For me, Sev?"
Severus groaned. "Fine..." He finally gave in.
"Great!" Lily hugged him. "If there's anything I can-" she was cut off as he pressed his lips to hers, encasing her mouth into his. An excitement tingled through her.
"Just keep loving me." He requested, after breaking their kiss so he could catch his breath. He grazed his lips across her cheek, moving to her neck and nipping at it.
Her eyes closed, aroused by his playful mouth. "I always will." She told him and let out a grasp as he cupped one of her breasts. "If you keep doing that we'll have to go upstairs!" She warned him in a whisper.
Severus chuckled wickedly, and fished out his wand. A moment later he had apparated them into their room and cast several spells for privacy. Harry was in the room across the hall, studying the homework that Mrs Longbottom had given him.
"Exposio." Severus drawled huskily, removing Lily's clothes, leaving her standing with nothing on.
"Severus!" She shrieked in surprise. "It's in the middle of the day!"
"What of it?" He raised his eyebrows, challenging her to come up with a better reason not to continue. Severus cupped her face in his hands, kissing her ever so softly. A kiss she could not ignore.
Lily moaned against his mouth, desperately wanting more, to which he gave her, flicking his tongue against her teeth. He picked her up without unlocking their lips and carried her to the bed, where he finally separated their mouths.
He smirked. "It's daylight." His eyes glanced to the window before shifting back to her. "Dare you to stop me," he said, unbuttoning a button to this robes.
"Not a chance!" Lily said eagerly, standing up onto her knees to assist in removing his clothes. Lily doubted if a spell could have removed his robes faster than the pair of them did physically.
They hugged their naked bodies together, absorbing each others heat and scent before Severus climbed in bed beside Lily, pulling her with him. He brushed her hair from her shoulder to delicately kiss it before sending his hands to wander her body.
Lily sighed in pure bliss, thinking how lucky she was to have him there for her.
She was lucky to have Harry. Lucky that Severus was around for Harry wehn he needed him, and lucky to have such a man love her.
Yes, she was truly a lucky woman.
"Thank you, Sev." She whispered against his chest, pausing her kissing. "You are a real treasure to have."
