Yes this is a bit different from my usual story…it just came to me as I was about to doze off last night

Chapter 4

Draco had been reading cookbooks from the Mistress of Malfoy Manor's library, mother while very good at household magic rarely did any cooking or cleaning. Since he wasn't a girl his mother never bothered to teach him but he'd heard that cooking was like brewing, it took patience and a scribble in his mother's handwriting said that love was a good secret ingredient. That was something he was sure she didn't learn from her mother, it seemed so Hufflepuff a thought. After all not only was Helga Hufflepuff a charms expert according to legend she also was responsible for the menu that had remained mostly unchanged. When mother was home he knew that she would tell the house elves what to make for meals but he wanted to cook. But first he needed to shop…

Draco exited the floo deep in thought and didn't notice where he was going until he was pressed tight to a warm chest.

"Missed you Drake."

Draco looked up grinning, still holding the book, "Missed you too." He was a bit short for his age and due to his features those who didn't know him often considered him young for his age or to be a girl. "I want to do something different."

Severus raised an eyebrow, "Like what?"

"I want you to show me your secret places, from when you were a kid. The places you and Lily played. I'm sure Harry would like to come. We could practice dating…because I want to spend every night of term in your bed." Draco said standing on his toes to kiss the slight man.

Severus sighed, "I guess I have decent memories of outside this house. Remus might like to let Harry see those places. I know Lily showed James all our old haunts."

Draco looked at him severely, "You have good memories of this place now though don't you?"

Severus kissed him deeply, "Yes."

Draco smirked, "Good."

"I'll floo Remus and hope I'm not interrupting."

"It will be nice to be around people who we don't have hide being ourselves."

Such a simple statement but the truth of it seared him to his bones, it sounds like something Lily would have said but Lily had never met Draco. He hoped desperately that she would approve of Draco, maybe not of their age difference but they were good for each other. After they made up after his cruel phrase, "I don't need a Mudblood to defend me." It had taken him to the summer to finally apologize, he ran into her at the market but she almost wouldn't speak to him.

Until he pulled out his present, whenever they fought which could be often because they both had tempers and tended to take frustrations on each other rather then others because it was safe. The one at fault always gave a gift, a well-thought out one. The actual words of the apology weren't needed; it was something Lily discovered when she realized he didn't have the words to put forth an apology. He knew she was obsessed with charms and had ordered a book she had been waiting for all year but just came out last week. She wouldn't be able to go to Diagon Alley to get it until Hogwarts letters came so she'd pouted all year. Severus had ordered it under his mother's name but had it sent to himself as a gift. She'd been so angry when she looked at him he'd swore she'd light him on fire right there. He'd said nothing but placed the wrapped gift in her shopping basket and turned away.

Lily had snapped, "What is this? What do you think it will accomplish?" then for the first time in his life he'd given an apology, "I should never have used that word. I know it upsets you. I shouldn't let Potter and Black make me so angry. They do have a nasty habit of getting under a person's skin. I know I can't make up for what I said and how I hurt you but I would like to still be your friend. I know how much you wanted that. I ordered in for your birthday but you weren't speaking to me, I thought perhaps you might accept it as a token of my apology."

It had taken time and dealing with a lot of demons but he'd given his blessing because he was a good friend when Lily came to him and reluctantly told her that she had agreed to give Potter a chance, one chance. That the moment either Black or Potter said one nasty thing to him they were over. Remus never joined into the bullying but after the "incident in the Shrieking Shack" when Potter saved his life and swore he and Remus had no part in the so-called prank. He'd begged him not to tell Lily, he swore a wizard's oath on Lily's life that he was telling the truth. He'd never actually believed Potter was capable of sincerity until that moment.

Even in his own terror at finding out Lupin was a werewolf he'd realized something. Potter who lived to torment him had actually listened to Lily, Potter knew he was important to Lily and tried to keep his promise to her. For all the Gryffindor's faults he truly did love Lily and he was just as terrified to lose her as he himself had been the moment that dreadful word fell from his lips. He had agreed to keep Lupin's secret because to admit he knew and to admit how he knew would get all three suspended or expelled and that would hurt Lily. If Black did it, then Potter knew. It wouldn't matter that Potter saved him, or that Potter had run out of detention and gotten his punishment doubled to save a teen he disliked.

He'd taken Potter aside after that and swore he would never mention the truth of Lupin's 'furry little problem' but if his friends ever put him or Lily in danger he would show them what he was really capable of. He had high marks and was part of the Slug Club for a reason for all his bullying Potter knew he was a highly skilled wizard who had the best marks of their year, with Lily and Remus not far behind. He created spells not something most their age could do.

He missed Lily, he missed talking to her and he wished he could have her back. He'd never had a friend like her before or since but Remus was a distant second. They'd both been close to Lily and they'd both lost friends that terrible night. The last thing either of them could handle was losing Harry who was part of James and Lily. The moment he'd heard of the Wolfsbane potion he'd offered to brew it, why? Because the less stressful the transformations were on him the better care Remus could take of Harry.

He'd gotten Remus the job at Hogwarts because he knew that Remus wanted to keep an eye on Harry, Remus did mostly stay at the castle but he spent the full moons at Baskerville, so Harry would sneak into Remus' office using Potter's old cloak and floo home. Poppy looked in on Sirius while Remus was teaching but it would be better if they decided to put Sirius in St. Mungos' Janus Thickey ward. Remus was keeping a promise to Sirius by keeping him home but he knew that Sirius was still the cruel boy who used to bully him especially since he was so damaged by Bellatrix. One night while he'd been brewing Remus had come in and hid in a corner here at Spinner's End. He'd found Remus sobbing, something he'd never once expected to see. Remus had come to Spinner's End because he didn't want to bother Harry. Sirius had verbally attacked him like he'd attacked Severus in the old days and Remus understood truly how hurt he'd been.

Lily had called him on the real reason he disliked her with Potter one day, she was at her angriest and well she said something cruel. That he hated Potter because of his treatment but he antagonized him because negative attention was all he knew. He was jealous of Potter's popularity, his ability to make friends and to have the confidence to pursue someone he loved because underneath his hatred and jealousy of James Potter was his desire of him.

He'd stared at her, open-mouthed because she knew him so intimately. She was his best friend, sometimes his only friend and she knew the person he'd been attracted to was James but he felt unworthy of him. He was a broken, abused boy who stood out without meaning to, whose marks proclaimed he was brilliant but he didn't have the charisma to insist he get attention for his brilliance unlike James. James was jealous of his friendship with Lily and his quiet confidence. They had both been jealous of each other but the roots of such jealousy were based in love. James would never have loved him back and truly they would have been terribly matched because James came from loving parents and never would understand why he was the way he was. Lily knew but she had always been his best friend, she understood his jealous of James and knew he would never speak of it. James would never understand how after all he had done to Severus that the man could love him. It was James' plea that he not tell Lily about what Sirius had done because it would hurt Lily. To think the man she was falling in love with would nearly get her best friend killed would break her heart. Lily came from loving parents but had a vindictive abusive sister. It was her experiences from Petunia that helped her understand him and his relationship with his parents. After graduation she wouldn't move into to Baskerville with James, Remus and Sirius but she did move into Spinner's End.

His parents had died by then, his father had threatened his mother with a gun. They'd fought over the gun, Eileen had shot his father and in her grief or was it guilt (?) she'd shot herself. He'd returned home to find their bodies and had run out to find Lily. Lily had helped him Muggle-proof things before calling the police. Somehow the gunshots hadn't been heard; then again no one ever called the police because of their fights either. Eileen must have warded their house, perhaps in embarrassment because of the man she'd married perhaps in defiance and her pride would not allow her to admit she'd made a mistake.

They'd called the police; Lily had dealt with them for him claiming he was in shock. She'd come up when they'd left and just held him, understanding he was mourning the parents he wished he'd had rather then the people who'd hurt him nearly every day of his life. When he'd been ready she'd taken him to talk to the police, they'd determined his mother had shot his father and wanted to know why since they'd never come to his home on police business. Lily had held his hand and he'd admitted for the first time what the house had been like; the screaming matches, the sound of breaking or throwing objects and the sound of fist hitting flesh. He'd been away at a private school he'd acquired a scholarship to; actually, his aunt had privately paid for his education when he'd been discovered to be a wizard something his father had hated him for like Petunia had hated Lily. Her parents had resisted her moving in with him but when she told him it was Spinner's End or Baskerville to live with James they'd given up their protest knowing at least Severus didn't want to sleep with her.

It had been Mr. Evans who came up to him on the street once when Lily was at their home to talk. He'd said as much as he'd liked James at one point he'd expected him to ask Lily. He'd stammered that he'd never seen her as more then a beloved friend. Only to have Mr. Evans put up his hand laughing, "I know," he said, "she sees you the same way. You're special the both of you, smart as a whip that's why I thought you suited each other. But you know too much about each other's secrets to ever be happy and you fight too much- almost like siblings You both love other people, don't think I don't know it Severus Snape but I do know that you're too honorable to ever break Lily's heart. When the time comes and you do truly in love in the right person I know that she'll be happy for you as you are for her."

That had cut him to heart, Mr. Evans knew he liked guys, like James in particular and hadn't hated him for it. Mr. Evans was good people- which was Lily's favorite saying.

He heard sounds coming from his kitchen that woke him from his musing; Draco was cooking? No one had cooked for him in his house since Lily had lived there before her bonding to James. He smiled to himself, Mr. Evans was right. If Lily saw how much Draco loved him and the way he was accepting that he loved Draco she would have come around to it like he came around to her with James. Draco was right, when he looked at Harry he did see James but he had his mother's spirit that shined out of his eyes set in his father's face. He had none of James' arrogance, all of James' loyalty, James' athleticism Lily's love of learning, Lily's silent caring ways and her temper. All together he was both and neither of his parents, in truth he was himself and that was why Remus loved him. He himself loved Harry because Harry had all the traits he admired in James and Lily; he would never have tried a relationship with Harry because he saw too much Lily and James in him.

Clearing his head he floo called Baskerville, the floo was open so he looked around and saw Harry sleeping with a book on his face. "Potter!"

Severus watched as Harry fell off the sofa and he chuckled, "I see you haven't lost your edge."

Harry glared, "That wasn't polite." Picking up his book from the floor, he sat back on the sofa, "What did you want?"

"Draco and I would like it if you and Remus joined us for dinner. I've been keeping an eye on him with his parents away." Not willing to give away too much when he wasn't sure the Ministry wasn't watching their floo due to their anti-werewolf views.

"What about Sirius?"

Severus sighed, "Call Pomfrey or Andromeda, I don't care what you do but Draco is attempting to cook and I don't want to be his only guinea pig."

Harry snickered, "He doesn't know how to cook yet?"

Severus stared at him very hard, "He hasn't had your reason to cook. Besides, they have house elves for that at the Manor. You and Remus have to know how to cook since neither Remus nor Sirius were ever bonded and Sirius didn't have a house elf left to him by his uncle."

Harry blushed because he enjoyed cooking for Remus,

"So you will be joining us for dinner. We expect you at six."

Harry nodded, "I'll tell Remus and we'll make arrangements."

"Very well. Do not be late or dinner will be ruined."

This is half of chapter four, hope it whets your appetite...
