More babies + Severus please!!! I find the idea so adorable

Teddy laughed and clapped his hands in glee as Severus made his teddy bear dance across the living room floor. Laughing, Tonks handed him a cup of tea and winked.

Severus & Petunia

- Severus survived the battle but was critically wounded.

- after the battle and once everything had calmed down (somewhat), Harry went to speak to his aunt.

- he told her about the battle and about Severus. She listened quietly, perched on the edge of the sofa.

- once Harry was done, he stood to leave. He was almost at the door when Petunia asked in almost a whisper if she could see him.

- Harry said he'd find out.

- a week later, Harry and Hermione stood outside the hidden entrance to St Mungo's. Petunia between them in her best coat and hat, clutching a paper bag of grapes.

- Hermione asked if she was ready. After a moment, Petunia said yes. Taking her hand, Harry gently led her through the hidden entrance and into the vast foyer.

- Petunia was obviously freaked out but Harry kept a reassuring hold on her hand.

- Hermione went ahead of them to make sure everything was still okay, but soon they arrived at the door to Severus's room.

- Harry warned her that Severus was out of the woods yet but she could sit with him.

- Petunia nervously entered the room.

In the best of all possible AUs, what did Severus get to do? (Was he published? Did he travel?)

- Severus woke in the early hours of the morning with a start, clutching at his tangled bedsheets. Then...as his mind cleared and he realised he was in his own home, it slowly dawned on him that he was safe.

- after a moment or two, he let himself sink back into the bed and sighed as he pulled the sheets back up to his nose and went back to sleep

- he woke at a much more reasonable hour when his cat pawned insistently at his face. He took a few moments to snuggle his cat before putting on his slippers and going down to make coffee.

- he drank his coffee while enjoying a cigarette in the garden, looking fondly at his herbs, spices and plants.

- he'd left an experiment bubbling overnight so went to check on it. All seemed to be looking good so he spent the next few hours writing up his notes.

- he spent his evening curled up in his armchair with his cat purring away contentedly on his knee while he corrected the proof of his latest potions book.

Severus survives, and gets invited to Harry and Ginny’s wedding!

- Severus stared at Harry, narrowed his eyes and asked: “Why?”

- Harry stared back. “Do I need a reason to invite you?”

- Severus shrugged and placed the invitation on his desk. “I’ll think about it.”

- sighing Harry turned to the door. “Ginny really wants you there. She told me, you know. About what happened after Chamber.”

- Severus remained silent.

- “Ok. Well. Please come. It’d mean a lot to us both.” with that, he opened the door and stepped out into the rain.

- After he was gone, Severus picked up the invitation and studied it. Then he limped over to the sofa and sat down, still thinking about the piece of card in his hand.

- three weeks later, Severus found himself in his best robes, standing at the back of a small church in Ottery St. Catchpole as Harry Potter married Ginny Weasley.

Fictober #14 "I can't come back."

Fandom: Harry Potter

---

Minerva regarded Severus.

"If I say 'please'?"

He snorted and limped over to the sofa. "I can't, Minerva. You know that."

"I'm not Albus." She sat down next to him. "It'll be difficult at first but this time you won't be on your own. Please Severus. I want you to come back. We want you to come back."

Fictober #25 "I could really eat something."

Fandom: Harry Potter

---

Severus opened his eyes and blinked against the harsh light. He heard voices, which sounded underwater. After a few more moments of confusion the world slowly came into more focus.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked anxiously.

Severus thought for a moment. "I could really eat something."

Post War Arthur Weasley / Severus Snape

- it started without them really noticing. Arthur would regularly visit Severus in the hospital. They’d sometimes talk but mostly played chess. 

- then Arthur started to talk about what was going on at home. He and Molly were drifting away, they had for some time he finally admitted. He felt lost.

- Severus didn’t really have a lot to say on the subject but was a sympathetic ear.

- one day, when Arthur was particularly down about something, Severus leaned forward and took Arthur’s hand. 

- Molly was a surprise visitor one day and gave Severus her blessing. 

- the day he was released from the hospital, Arthur was there waiting for him. 

- they moved in together. 

- the reaction from the other Weasley’s was mixed, but Arthur and Severus didn’t really care. They had each other.

Could I get Severus and Hermione dancing together?

- McGonagall had decided that what this first year back at Hogwarts needed for everyone was a Yule Ball. 

- she made it clear that all staff members were to attended, she said this with a pointed look at Severus. Severus shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

- the day of the ball arrived and Severus did as he was told and limped into the Great Hall. He found a quiet corner, conjured up a chair and settled back. He made sure to great McGonagall as she entered.

- most people ignored him or cast him a wary look, Severus ignored them back.

- as everyone got into the sway of things, dancing, laughing and generally enjoying themselves Severus prepared to sneak away.

- “Going so soon?”

- he looked up to see Hermione, their newest Defence against the Dark Arts professor grinning at him.

- “Not my scene.” He grumbled in reply.

- “Is anything?” Severus ignored her and got awkwardly to his feet, taking his walking stick from where he’d placed it behind the chair. “Come on, dance with me.”

- “ ‘Dance with you’?” he repeated with a raised eyebrow.

- “Yes. Dance with me.” Hermione held out her hand. Severus looked hard at her. “I’m serious.”

- Severus regarded her for a few moments then slowly took her hand. Grinning at him, Hermione hooked his walking stick over her arm and guided him towards the edge of the crowd.

- it was awkward at first but soon Severus got into it and very slowly started to relax…and enjoy himself.
