Starr: I think he was a bit nutty for a while even in Canon, Harry's first impresion said as much. The pictures the ministry posted also implied such. I'm using it to my advantage. It also covers up my mistake in forgetting to mention him before, lol
Lily stood in the living room, waiting for her husband to respond to her news. She bit her lip, watching him stare at the telly. Severus took a drink of his butterbeer, eyes frozen to the screen. The glare of the image lit up his black eyes.
Finally he grunted, and placed the empty bottle on the end table, next to the lamp. "So, you agree with the bullying that he did to me?" He asked in his quiet voice. He did not look her way.
"Of course not, Severus!" Lily huffed. "You should have seen him though. God, he was a mess! Remus insists that I can help him. And with the way that Black had looked at me-" Lily paused, shrugging helplessly. "Maybe he's right. Maybe I can help Black out of his trauma."
Severus shook his head in disbelief. "You're just not happy unless you can fix someone!"
"You knew I wanted to be a Healer," she pointed out to him. "This is what healers do, Sev, they put away their personal opinions and help the patient!"
"You're not a Healer, though."
"By nature I am!" She snapped and turned on her heel, sprinting into the kitchen. "And you best accept it!" Lily shouted to him. She started to prepare dinner, crashing around anything that she touched.
It was her life, and if she wanted to help people, who was he to stop her?! She didn't stop him from making extremely dangerous potions in their house when one little accident could burst them all up into flames.
Not like Severus really ever had an accident in the first place. But still, she support his choices.

"You gonna eat that?"
"No," Harry glumly told his cousin who snatched Harry's sandwich right off his paper plate.
"Why are you sad?" Dudley asked through a mouthful of food.
Harry leaned his back up against the tree that their treehouse was built around. "My Mum and Severus are fighting." He picked at the flooring beneath him, pulling up a lose piece of wood from the rough sawn board.
"They are?" Dudley was surprised at this, and had even paused in his food consuming to drop his mouth open a bit. It was a gruesome sight, a bit of his mashed up lunch was still lingering in his mouth.
"Yes, and really bad too! They aren't even talking to each other!" Harry then lowered his voice so their grandparents wouldn't hear him, "They haven't even kissed on the lips- in many days! And Mum kicked Severus out of his bedroom!"
"Wow..." Dudley finished off his sandwich then. "Do you think they are going to get a divorce like my Mum and Dad did?"
Harry frowned at the thought. Tears filled his eyes. "I hope not!" He cried out. "They love each other! And they belong together!"
"You should make them hug each other. That's what Grandma makes us do when we fight," Dudley suggested. "It works; it makes us not want to fight again for the rest of the day!"
The boys nodded together. It embarrassed them a lot when they were forced to hug each other.
After Severus had picked Harry up that afternoon, apparating him home, the boy dashed up to his room quickly. He was uncomfortable by the mood that his parents had been putting off lately. Severus and Mum only spoke to him, and Harry often had to speak between them to get what he needed relayed to the other.
When he was practicing his moves for the upcoming tryouts for Quidditch, Severus wasn't really trying to play anymore. Harry won every time- not from just being extremely good at the sport. This helped Harry none. He needed a good opponent to train with.
Harry sat on his bed, nearly in tears. He wiped his nose with the sleeve of his shirt.
Why were they fighting? Was it because he wanted to play Quidditch? Was Mum changing her mind in letting him play? If she was, Harry had no idea of it. She seemed happy with Harry when he caught the Snitch each time.
Harry was confused. It wasn't right for Mum and Severus to be fighting! He was afraid of what Dudley said. Afraid that they would get divorced. They had JUST gotten married! They can't divorce! Not when he just got a real family. With both a Mum and Dad. He thought a little brother would be nice, but maybe later, because Severus said they were going to spend time with were spending time with him, but it wasn't like Harry had thought it would be. And Harry was very sad that Mum and Severus didn't like each other right now.

"You're awfully quiet, Harry," Lily noted as Harry ate his ice cream after dinner. "Are you nervous about the tryouts?"
Her son just shrugged, looking down at his hardly finished treat. He swirled his spoon around, making Lily wrinkle her forehead. She stood up, waving her wand to run a diagnose. Nothing appeared to be wrong with him. So, why wasn't he eating his ice cream?
"Harry, what's wrong?" She asked to see if she could fish out an answer.
"I'm just sad..."
"Sad?" Lily frowned. Why would Harry be sad?
Harry nodded.
"About what, baby?" She smoothed his hair down, only to have it spring back up on her.
Harry's ice cream was pretty much all soup now. He scooped it up and let it run off from the spoon and back into the bowl. He said nothing, lifting up a shoulder into a shrug.
"If you tell me, maybe I can make you happy again," Lily said gently.
"Do you hate Severus now?" Harry asked. "Are you going to get divorced? Am I never going to be allowed to see him again?" By the last question, the boy's voice had croaked and then he burst into tears.
"Oh, Harry!" Lily knelt down to her knees, wrapping her arms around him. He instantly dove into them, hiding his face into her chest. "You needn't worry about those things, baby," she assured him in a whisper. "I know it's scary when people fight, especially your parents. Mine fought too, and they're still together."
"Grandpa and Grandma fight?" Harry asked, astonished, his crying had momentarily ceased.
"Yes, and they've been married for over thirty years, Harry."
"Is he alright?" Severus' voice asked behind them. He stood at the door that led down to his Potions' cellar, looking at Harry.
"He's fine," Lily answered, giving her boy a tight hug. "He's afraid we're going to get divorced."
"Of course we're not!" Severus huffed like it was the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard of.
"Then you should say you're sorry and hug; right now," Harry said, pulling from his mother's hold. "I don't want you fighting no more."
"Harry... it's not that simple." Lily brushed a bit of his hair from his forehead.
"It is for me and Dudley."
"Well, you're children," Severus spoke up. "The most you argue over is who took the last ruddy biscuit."
Lily stopped herself from giggling at his statement.
Harry crossed his arms and grunted. "Well, I want you to kiss again! And say nice things to each other!" Suddenly, he found his bowl of ice cream fascinating. He frowned. "I want to hear you laugh again, Mum, and I want to hear Severus make you laugh... Just like it used to be."
Severus and Lily exchanged looks before Severus said, "Alright, Harry, we're sorry we've upset you. Your mother and I need to talk right now, could you give us a few minutes?"
Harry nodded sorrowfully, and slid off his chair, walking out of the kitchen in silence.
"Obviously, we can't have him acting like that," Severus told Lily.
"Poor boy," Lily said sympatheticcally. "He was probably stressing more than we were."
"He's not the only one that's been missing your laugh," his voice was quiet, almost as if he was afraid to admit it.
"Isn't what we've been fighting over just a bit silly?" Lily asked exasperatedly. "I mean, you and I are married, by a love bond- nothing should sever us apart."
She watched him set his jaw, taking a swallow. "I guess we have been a bit immature about this all," he agreed. "I'd rather not fight. I can think of much better things to do with you." He looked away, sighing. "Besides, your choice is already made, clearly, you're not going to change it."
Lily shook her head firmly. "I'm not."
"Bloody Gryffindor," Severus grumbled jokingly. He looked at her apologetically, silently asking her to forgive him.
Lily smiled, amused by his pathetic look. "I suppose we ought to hug now."
They walked up to each other, stopping in the middle and hugged, both sighing in the relief to feel each others touch again, heavy weights lifting from their chests. Then they kissed, sending an instant fire of affection throughout every inch of their bodies. Before the feeling could increase, they broke off the kiss, knowing that if they continued much longer, the simple kiss would turn into something more.
Severus stared at her, his eyes filled with passion, "You're a good witch, Lily, and I'll love you no matter what."
She took his hand and brought up to her cheek. "I'll love you forever too." She pecked his palm with her lips. "Let's go tell Harry the good news."
Severus nodded, and they walked hand in hand, calling out Harry's name. The boy was up in his room, mindlessly playing with his Snitch.
"We're done fighting, Harry," Severus informed him.
Harry smiled widely, catching the fluttering Snitch. "Really?! Did you hug?"
Lily and Severus exchanged knowing grins. "We did," Lily told him.
"Can we play Seeker then?" Harry asked, grabbing his broom. "I still have some time to practice."
Lily looked out the window and frowned. "Sweety, it's too dark to play tonight."
"Then you can light up the sky, Mum! Your Charm spells are very powerful! They'd last for hours!"
"He's right, Lil'," Severus pointed out.
And, so, Lily, lost by the power of being outnumbered, followed her husband and son out into their large yard to play Seeker, which Harry now named 'Seeker In The Night'.
