continued from last post dear Bellatrix Lestrange , I am writing to you against Severus's wishes but I am writing to you about the letter we recieved I am afraid I cannot join as I am pregnant (i haven't told Severus yet) and also as Severus is now a Professor at Hogwarts we are so very sorry to decline this invitation signed, Lily Evans Bellatrix scanned the paper again and again not believing what she had just read. Voldemort took the paper violently from her hands and scanned it. "My... My Lord we cannot destroy her she is carrying the next generation of Snape we cannot can't we wait until the child is born?" Bellatrix stuttered. "Well... it does seem unfair but... they did not keep their end of the bargain!" Voldemort ranted. "But... My Lord we can't destroy a... a child just look at Narcissa and what she said she'd do if anyone touch her little Draco!! And that mudblood carries more power than a reglular one can't we just let this one drop?" Bellatrix asked. "FINE JUST THIS ONCE BUT DO NOT TELL ANYONE I SPARED A MUDBLOOD BECAUSE IT WILL BE YOUR HEAD BELLATRIX! UNDERSTAND?" Voldemort bellowed. Bellatrix nodded once and then walked out of the room.
Meanwhile... Lily walked into the living room a little shaky and sat down next to Severus. "Sev? I've got to tell you something..." Lily said uncertainly. "hm... Oh sorry. what do you want to tell me?" Severus wondered.Lily took a deep breath. "Sev, I missed my period this month and i took a pregnacy test and it said positive. I even went to the doctors to check and even they said I was anyway what I'm trying to say is... Sev, your gonna be a dad!" Lily said in a rush. When she had finished he could see the excitement in her eyes.
The annoucenent Severus remained frozen in his place. "Sev? Severus? Snape? Hello are you in there?" Lily said waving her hand in front of his face. Severus still didn't move. Lily started to worry and got up and walked out of the room and locked herself on the bathroom where she made a phonecall to none other than James Potter.
The phonecall "Hello?" said a deep voice "James? It's me Lily. I've just told Sev but he hasn't moved since I told him-" Lily started. "Wait you told him, but I thought me and you had a chance?" James said. "No James! We never had a chance and never will i knew i shouldn't have phoned you! Next time I need to talk to someone I'll talk to Sirius or Remus!" Lily near enough shouted down the phone. "But Lily-" Lily hung up then there was a quiet and gentle knock on the door.
Difficulties About half an hour later the knocking stopped and Lily walked out of the bathroom. "Oh so you can open a door?" Severus said as she walked into the Kitchen. Lily rolled her eyes. "Oh so you haven't heard of the word privacy?" Lily replied. Severus smiled and pulled her into his arms. "No, not when it comes down to my soon-to-be wife and unborn child. Hey I just thought I will be able to teach them at Hogwarts!" Severus exclaimed with happiness.
6 months later ... Severus and Lily are sat down when Lily starts to whimper. "Lily I really think you should go to hospital!" Severus told her. He had learnt how to disguise his pained look whenever she started to whimper because he knew how much more it hurt her to watch others suffer along side her. He remembered what she said when they first met...
Flashback "Severus, if we do both get into Hogwarts and we are put into different houses will we still be the best of friends?" Lily asked "Of course we will! Whatever gave you the idea we wouldn't?" Severus asked. " Well one i'm muggle-born and two I'm more of a sufferer in silence type." Lily said.
