Chapter 21
“She’s not ready,” Severus sighed as he and a few other men were standing in the kitchen. He rubbed his brow with his fingers and gulped down a glass of pumpkin juice, wishing that it was firewhiskey.
“She can’t go back into hiding, they obviously found her,” Lucius stated. He and Albus arrived just moments ago.
“And what do we know?” Arthur asked.
“Nothing,” Albus replied. “All we can do is protect them both, including you Severus,” he added as he nodded to him.
“Merlin help me,” Severus muttered to himself.

Harry opened the door to Ginny’s room slowly. He stood there against the door frame and watched Hermione change Sebastian’s diaper on Ginny’s bed.
“And now the powder,” Hermione said softly to Sebastian as she put some on his little bottom.
Sebastian laughed out loud.
“Don’t you dare try to pee on Mummy until I actually close the nappy on you!” Hermione said sternly, glaring down at him. Sebastian only laughed more, which made her smile. She bent down and kissed him on his little chubby cheeks. “Mummy loves you very, very much Bastian.”
Harry thought for a moment on how to approach and talk to Hermione. He hadn’t said a word to her since she stepped into the Burrow, or even after Ron beat her up. All he did was stare at her from a distance, watching. Now, he knew he had to talk to her, and try to clear things up. He didn’t want to give her the wrong impression about him feeling the same as Ron did for Sebastian and her. To catch her attention, he cleared his throat.
“Harry?” Hermione said in some surprise as she turned her head towards the door. She then focused back on Sebastian and started to pin his nappy on.
“I sure wouldn’t want him to pee on me,” Harry said as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.
“How long have you been standing there?”
“Listen Hermione, we need to talk.”
Hermione shook her head. “Please Harry, if you’re going to start badgering like Ron, then just leave.”
“I’m not going to badger,” Harry said. “In fact, I hate him for what he did to you and for what he said about Sebastian. It’s not right, and friends aren’t supposed to do that to friends.”
Hermione turned back to look at Harry. With a nod, she said, “Come sit here,” as he patted the bed space next to Sebastian.
Harry sat himself down, and couldn’t take his eyes off Sebastian who was intently staring at him with a small smile. “He’s a cute one,” Harry said as touched Sebastian’s hand with his finger. He smiled down at the baby when he held on tightly around his finger.
“I don’t think he’d like to hear that when he grows up,” Hermione said. “He is just like his father, and has his temper as well.”
“So you’re a little Slytherin then?” Harry asked Sebastian.
Sebastian answered with a big squeal and smile.
“I’ll take that as a yes then.”
“Draco wants to teach him some quidditch skills when he’s able to ride a broom.”
“Not while I’m around,” Harry snapped. “I could teach him as well. I’m better than him.”
Hermione rolled her eyes and groaned. Egos and quidditch was a grudge among many young men, most especially Harry and Draco. Would it ever end?
“He sent me a letter, saying that he became his Bill’s personal assistant, and it was more like a slave job. There’s also a local quidditch team there, and he hopes to make it in the try-outs.” When Hermione didn’t say anything after a few seconds, Harry spoke again. “I didn’t write back. Too angry to actually try.”
“Yeah,” Hermione sighed as she pulled Sebastian up, and carried him in her arms. She kissed his cheeks again as she got a little teary.
Harry understood what the tears meant. “It’s going to be all right Hermione. He has his Uncle Harry to look after him as well.”
“Thanks Harry,” Hermione said softly.
“You love him, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, he’s my son.”
Harry shook his head. “I meant Snape. You love him?”
“I do Harry,” Hermione replied. It wasn’t a lie.

Day slowly turned into night. The Burrow household was still filled with party cheer for Sebastian who was still surprisingly wide awake. His eyes and attention were always drawn to the bright colors, noises, and people that talked to him. He was indeed not just accepted by many, but loved as well. He had numerous Aunts and Uncles—all who would protect him.
In the garden out back, under the bright light of the moon, Severus and Hermione were at the center. Hermione had her head on his chest, as Severus had his lips against her brow. Both their arms were around each other as they slowly swayed to the humming of Severus’s low baritone voice.
Albus watched from the porch, a far distance from them. His eyes twinkled with happiness as he watched the couple dance.
“Admiring your handy work?” Lucius asked as he and his son walked out towards the old man.
“They are perfect together don’t you think?” Albus asked softly.
“If I was as meddlesome as you, I think that I would have done something sooner,” Lucius said.
“They’re in love, they just don’t know it,” Draco said. When both older men looked at him with confusion, he laughed. “I may not have a love life, but I can sure spot one in blossom. Trust me, I talked to each of them. I don’t know if they believed me, but I sure hit a spot.” He walked back in the house with a satisfied smirk on his face.
“I think my son is just as meddlesome as you Albus. If not, he’s worse,” Lucius frowned at the older wizard who just laughed.

“It is a beautiful night,” Severus commented after he kissed Hermione’s brow for what seemed like the nth time since they started dancing.
“That it is,” Hermione agreed. She pulled herself closer to him, seeking more than his warmth, but his touch as well. Being in his arms made her feel safe. “Severus?”
“Yes Love?” he asked softly.
“Would you please sleep with me tonight in my bed, with Sebastian as well?” she asked with a hint of fear and nervousness in her voice. Fear because of losing her son to Death Eaters. Nervousness because she was afraid that he would refuse. “I just want Sebastian and me, to feel safe… Please?”
Severus’s heart skipped a beat. He knew why she asked him such a favor, and somehow wished there was something more than just safety. He pushed the thought aside, and just thought about what she had asked. “Anything for you,” he whispered softly.
---
Later on that night, the three of them were all lying down in the center of Hermione’s bed. Hermione was sound asleep with her head on Severus’s shoulder, as Sebastian lay sleeping as well on his father’s bare chest. Severus had an arm wrapped around each of them as he stared up at the ceiling. He couldn’t lose either of them.

AN – Despite life having its problems, it does have its sweet moments… I gave you some sweetness guys, and now I\'m asking for some loving reviews please.
