Starr: I couldn't kill Snape! Anyway, they are after Harry for vengeance. That's all.
Tissues ready? Alright... Begin now.

Chapter 7
As soon as she swallowed the potion, Lily felt a warm feeling rush over her. She smiled as all her worries and fears completely washed away. James was studying her with interest, eager to see what effects the potion had. Lily's eyes then felt heavy, and she had a hard time keeping them open. She felt a light peck of lips touching her forehead before she lost all sense of the things around her.
It lasted for just a second, or so she guessed, because that's what it felt like. The tiredness had also dissipated. She opened her eyes, widening them instantly when she realized she was not where she remembered being last.
What happened to the Great Hall?
The vial was still clutched into her hands. Had she been drugged and kidnapped? Her heart began hammering at the thought. She snatched her wand from the sleeve of her robes and looked around.
She was in a house. Standing in a very clean living room, in front of a green bricked fire place. Many tiny portraits of elegantly dressed wizards and witches were hung along the wall, all framed in either silver or purple. Some snored softly, but most were inanimate.
The walls were painted white. Beneath her, was soft, cushiony purple carpeting. There was a desk, and two book shelves on her right. And on the left, was a sitting area with white matching furniture; an over sized sofa, and three wing backed chairs. They semi circled around a fairly large screened telly, bigger than Lily had ever seen before, and a coffee table, to which stood a lone picture.
She narrowed her eyes when she noticed the picture was of her.
"Where am I?" She whispered.
Slowly, she inched her way out of the room and entered a hall path. On the right was a staircase leading up to a second floor, and the left led off to what she believed was a kitchen, seeing the corner of a refrigerator from where she stood.
Lily stopped herself from calling out, just in case her theory of being kidnapped proved to be true. She needed to get out of here. She walked cautiously toward the kitchen and yelped when someone came out of it.
Severus stopped abruptly when he saw her, gasping and clutching his chest. He extending his free hand out to find the wall and leaned up against it for support. He breathed hard and rapid, his eyes wide like he was seeing a terrifying creature. Something didn't look right about him. He was taller, and broader. Not as skinny as he was that morning when she had seen him in the Great Hall. And... he looked older. But maybe that was because of the face he was putting on at the moment.
"Where am I?" She questioned him, her wand still in her hand.
"Y-You...Y-You..." he struggled to say something, his body was pressed hard against the wall.
"What's wrong with you?" Lily demanded. "Is He here? Is Voldemort here?" She glanced around, expecting an attack, but no body came. She stepped toward the man who's mouth sat agape. After making another step toward him, he slid against the wall away from her, his eyes wide, as if she was some sort of monster. Lily narrowed her eyes in confusion. Severus had never looked at her like that before.
"What's going on?!" Lily asked. "Why are you..." she frowned at the sudden thought. "Afraid of me?"
Severus closed his eyes and reopened him, swallowing hard. "Li-ly?" He whispered.
Lily eyed him strangely. Voldemort must have done a wonder on him. She never thought she'd see the day that he'd actually be terrified of her. "I'm not going to hurt you, Severus." She told him with a huff. "Not unless you intend to cause me harm."
His mouth shut, but his eyes still watched her like a hawk, his hand remained clutched to his chest, the other, gripped the wall so hard that his knuckles were white.
"Whose house is this?" Her words were wasted though, Severus was frozen in place, staring at her. "Are you okay?" Lily asked slowly. "You're acting very strange..."
It took another moment before he gathered his senses, his expression changing from terror to awe. "Is... that... really y-you, Lily?" He pushed himself away from the wall, taking just one delicate step toward her and stopping. They were now five or six feet from each other.
"Who else would I be?"
"Then you wouldn't be upset if-if I asked a question to be s-sure?"
"Uh... alright..." An odd request...
"What... type of flower did you first conjure for me when we were ch-children?" He closed his eyes to await her answer.
"A daisy." Lily answered without needing to give it a thought. She smiled faintly at the warm memory; one that she hadn't thought about in a while.
Severus' eyes flew open. "It really is you!" He gasped.
"Why are you so shocked to see me, Severus?"
"Lily..." he said slowly, his hands trembled and folded in front of him. "You..." he then choked out a sob and walked briskly to her, falling down to his knees at her feet, bowing his head. "It was all my fault!" He whispered. "Please, forgive me, Lily!" He grabbed the hem of her robes. "You have no idea how much guilt stings my heart everyday. I just can't bare it anymore! I didn't mean you any harm- I swear it!"
Lily tugged her robes from his grasp. "What in the world are you talking about?!"
"You died six years ago." He sobbed, avoiding her eye contact. "It was all my fault. I didn't mean it, honest! Oh, but you must believe me!"
"I didn't die, Severus... I just celebrated my seventeenth birthday today."
Severus ceased his sobs, and looked up at her. "Sev-Seventeen?"
She nodded. "I don't even know where I am..." she trailed off before sighing. "Would you please stand up? You're making me seriously question your sanity."
"My home, Lily." He answered quietly, standing up. "This is my home."
"Severus?" Someone called out. "I'm back! And you'll never guess what happened! I caught the snitch! You should had seen Dra-"
A boy who looked to be six or seven came into view. His excited talking stopped when he saw Lily. Now it was his turn to stare. His awestruck didn't last near as long as Severus' did though. He smiled widely and ran to Lily. "Mum?!" He exclaimed, wrapping his arms around Lily's waist. "Is it really you, Mum?"
An odd feeling crawled through Lily's body as the boy touched her. Heat and chill all at once, making the hair on her arms stand up. "Uh... I'm not-"
"Harry, go up stairs and put away your things." Severus ordered the boy.
"But Severus-"
"Don't argue with me." Severus told him firmly. "Now."
Harry removed himself from Lily, his eyes stared at her, almost with abandonment, as he backed away to go upstairs. Lily had the urge to follow him, feeling like she would never be happy again without his presence.
She didn't know that boy, how could that be at all possible...?
Severus took a deep breath, and pulled out his wand, casting a spell.
"A patronus?" Lily gasped, realizing what he had just done. "A corporeal one?"
"I need you to watch Harry, please." Severus sent the message off before he answered Lily with a nod. "We have a lot to discuss..." he said, shamefully avoiding her eyes.
Why was he acting so different from this morning?
"You said this was your house? How could you afford-" she stopped when she clued in on how he could obtain such a nice house. She glared at Severus, "What was it?" She asked, crossing her arms. "An offering to join him? So you finally made it official?! You're an actual Death Eater?!"
"I bought this house after adopting your son six month ago." He informed Lily, a hurtful expression was on his face, but he still wasn't looking directly at her.
"That's not possible! I don't have a son!"
"That boy is really yours, Lily." He said gently. He finally looked at her, staring at her. "Merlin..." he whispered astonishingly.
"What?"
"Are you a ghost?" He raised his arm and poked her in the shoulder.
"Don't do that!" Lily scolded, stepping back from him. "I am not a ghost. I am very much alive."
"That you are." He drawled in thought. "Extraordinary..."
"Severus!" Remus' voice called out. "I came as soon as I got your-" Remus squeaked at the sight of Lily. He looked older too, and had a lot more scars scattered about his face than when she had last seen him at dinner just before she woke up here. "By Gods! Is that... really you, Lily?"
"Please explain to me what is going on!" Lily balled up her fists, annoyed to have them staring at her like she was some priceless piece of crystal.
"What's this?" Severus leaned forward and before Lily knew it, he had obtained her empty potion vial. "Did you take a potion before you came here?"
"Yes..." she said slowly, watching him uncork the vial and smell it.
Thudding came down the stairs as the boy joined them again. "I want to talk to her!" He said with glaring eyes. "She's my mum! I know she is!"
"Please just watch him for a while?" Severus asked Remus in desperation. "At least until we figure this all out...?"
Remus smiled gently. "Of course, Severus."
"No!" the boy ducked from Remus' hand that went to grab at him and ran to Lily. "Please, Mum!" He cried. "It's me, Harry! You're son!"
Remus, always known to be quick, swiftly took out his wand and sent the boy into a slumber, catching his limp body and lifting him into his arms. "I got him now." He assured Severus.
"We should go see Dumbledore." Severus told Lily. "He'll have some what of an idea what's going on."
"Good, because I need answers! Nothing is making sense." She eyed the sleeping boy, noticing that he looked familiar. She hitched her breath as the strong feeling stirred inside her again.
"It's good to see you again, Lily." Remus said with his charming smile.
She politely smiled back, not knowing what to say to that.
"Thank you." Severus hastily said to Remus as he passed him to go to the living room.
Lily was completely confused and clueless. Remus and Severus talking politely to each other? On a first name basis?!
Had she entered a whole different reality completely?
"Lily?" Severus questioned when she hadn't moved.
"Yeah... I'm coming..." Lily gave the sleeping boy one last look before following Severus back to the fireplace where he flooed to Albus Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. She went in right after him.
Her head was spinning, and it wasn't from the effects of the Floo Network.
* / *
"I've been expecting you." Professor Dumbledore said happily, slightly waving a red and gold envelope to Lily.
"Me?"
He nodded.
"What's going on Albus?" Severus asked. "How is she here?"
"It's all in the letter." The headmaster smiled, mystery glowing in his eyes.
Lily opened the letter addressed to her, eager for answers.
"January 25th, 1976
Dear Lily,

By the time you read this, we both will have technically died, but I just couldn't bare the thought of our son growing up without his mother. A child needs his mother, especially one that will be as good as you will be.
When I asked that if you loved Snape the other day, I did so for a reason, for he will rescue our son from a terrible fate, and, from what I saw our son, Harry, really adored him. Much like you did. Which brings me to the purpose of this letter.
I want you to forgive him, Lily. As of this moment, I have. He's made mistakes in his past (just as I have), but, by the year 1988, he will have changed almost to an unnoticeable man(not physically of course... I doubt anything can change him in that sense), and he'll need your help with our son. I'd like my son to learn proper hygiene (kidding...! Okay, no I'm not, Snape has a serious problem with keeping his hair clean!).
I'll have had my turn to be with you, and I know that he loves you- more than a friend(he has a problem with keeping his eyes off you). We both know that your feelings for him are more than just friendship too, and it won't matter to me what you do in 1988, since I won't be around. I love you, but if you can find happiness with him, I won't judge you for it. Especially since he does make a wonderful father figure to our son. Besides, I'll forget I even wrote this letter as soon as I hand it off to Professor Dumbledore (the one in our time). I did this for safety so our son can save the world without my knowledge interfering with it. I am not sure I could have trusted myself with such information.
I chose the time that I did specifically before you had a chance to fall in love with me and out of love with him (if you ever did, I really don't know this for sure). I couldn't have you mourn over losing me (knowing that you probably would). I need you to live a happy life, now, Lily. You deserve it out of all the people in the entire world. You can live a life now where you won't have to watch your back every moment in fear of your life. Professor Dumbledore (the one in the future) has told me that it's a lot better without Voldemort's existence.
Whatever you chose to do, just give yourself and our son the happiness you both truly deserve.
-Love, your future (yet, non existant to you) husband, James
P.S. Tell Snape that I am sincerely sorry for all that I had done to him, and that I am grateful for the generosity he has shown toward my son. I am not sure I would have done the same for his own. He is a better person than I ever gave him credit for.
"Is this for real?" Lily asked, handing the letter off to Professor Dumbledore in complete shock. She had never known James to put another person's feelings before himself. Maybe he wasn't the only one misjudging people.
"It appears to be his handwriting..." Professor Dumbledore mused after a quick look.
"And, what about you?" She directed to Severus.
Severus shook his head in confusion. "What... about me...?" He was then given the letter to read. When he was finished, he placed a hand to his forehead, and let out a quiet groan.
"Well?" Lily asked Severus.
"It... would make sense as to why you are here, after I watched you get..." he closed his eyes and swallowed. "...buried." he finished in a whisper.
"But is what he wrote true?"
Severus' eyes shifted to the ceiling. "What about?" Lily had an idea that he knew exactly what she was talking about.
Perhaps he didn't want to admit it right now...
"I already witnessed you fathering my-" she gasped as the realization struck her. It was true... That little boy was her son...! Lily walked to the fireplace. "Take me back, Severus! I want to see my son!"
Severus nodded and flooed back to his home, speaking the address very clear. The last thing she saw of him was his pitch black eyes. They were completely still, unmoving from her own. The flames engulfed him, and he was gone.
"Keep an open mind, Miss Evans. This has all occurred for a reason." Lily heard Professor Dumbledore say before she also departed into the Floo Network.
Severus stood there, ensuring that she had made it back and then swept out of the living room."Remus? We're back!" He stopped at the bottom of the staircase.
"Wonderful!" Remus appeared at the top of the stairs a moment later. "That was quick, How'd it go?"
Lily pushed passed Severus and raced up the steps. "Where's the little boy?" she asked.
"Harry's in his room." Remus showed her to Harry's room. A perfect room for a little boy. Blue walls with a red and white toy chest, and dresser. Lily stopped in her tracks when she seen the quilt that she had made draped over her sleeping son.
Inching her way to Harry, her breathing slowed at the thought of being seventeen and a mother.
His glasses were off and placed on the nightstand next to his bed. His hair as messy as James' ever was. Lily touched his shoulder in awe, her heart feeling immensely heavy. "Harry..." she whispered. And somehow, although, Lily wasn't sure how, she had instantly fallen in love with the boy.
She pointed her wand at him and twisted it to wake him from his spell induced slumber. Harry's eyes opened and blinked. When he saw her, he smiled. "Mum!" He bolted up and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Are you here to stay?" He asked worriedly. "You aren't going to die again, are you?!"
Lily hugged him back, sighing in complete comfort, embracing the idea of her sudden motherhood. "I'm here to stay, my sweet Harry." She told him softly, and kissed his cheek. "Mama loves you so much."
