Disclaimer: These characters are not owned by me. I'm just playing house with them. Just like my friend Angie's Barbie Dolls. JKR owns Harry and Snape. Dementordelta wrote a beautiful story about them a while back. And I'm just extending it with a little bit of fluffy-chuckles. ^_^
Author's notes: This is writen in dialogue only because it's something of a script. I'll explain more later. Delta: if you find anything that you think is a little off in here, let me know, okay?



"Okay, there's no reason to be scared now. You just finish this, and have another sandwich. I'll talk to him when he comes home, okay?

"…"

"You don't have to say a word. Just stay right here, and I'll come get you as soon as we're finished talking, alright?"



"You're home early today."

"What did you do?"

"Hmmm? What do you mean?"

"You're here, meeting me at the door. What is it that you have to confess to me?"

"Aah, nothing. No confessions needed. None at all."

"…"

"Well, maybe one."

"I'm waiting."

"No, on second thought, I don't want to confess just now."

"Potter!"

"No! Really. I just have no idea how to broach the subject when you're acting like this. You haven't even taken off your cloak and I'm being drilled!"

"… there. Cloak is off. Tell me."

"I…"

"…"

"I've adopted a little girl her name is Lydia and she's Dudley's girl who's a witch and his wife can't handle her and… and so, I've got her now. How was your day, hmmm? Did the fourth years give you any troubles? How's Minerva doing? Well, I hope. Why I was just—"

"… Harry. James. Potter… "

"Oh, please don't. When you say it like that, it almost sounds profane."

"Believe me, profanities are quite the intention right now."

"Well, what was I supposed to do? Just send her off somewhere?"

"You were SUPPOSED to talk about it with your spouse first before making some sort of life-changing decision!"

"Please, lower your voice. She's in the kitchen."

"She's… She's… here?"

"Severus? Take a deep breath. I didn't want to—"

"…"

"…"

"I finished my juice."

"This—this is your kin?"

"Lydia? This is Severus. The man I was telling you about. You can call him Uncle Snape."

"He won't be my uncle, though, Harry. He'll be one of my fathers, correct?"

"…"

"Indeed. If "Uncle Harry's" plan goes according to his wishes."

"… Aah, yes, well."

"You did not discuss this before coming to pick me up? *sigh*.
"Harry, you can be somewhat stupid at times. I think you have a good heart, but you ought to think things through a bit more before you do them."

"From the mouths of babes, Harry?"

"Aah, yes, well…"

"I will go read now. There are books in this place, aren't there? Thank you for the juice. Mother would always offer me fizzy drinks. Unfortunately, they have no nutritional value. I do prefer juice or milk."

"…"

"We shall keep her."

"I… yeah, I guess so."

Oh yeah, she's already Severus' daughter in spirit if not in blood. They'll be fine. Harry may be outnumbered, however... ;)
Cute!

Hee... I think that's just about the only way Severus would let Harry keep her. If she was another Potter or Longbottom or Weasley-twin type, I think he'd suggest sending her off to boarding school immediately.

Awwww! This is very sweet, though it feels more like an original Snarry than Dumbledore's Folly!

Simply perfect! I have a feeling someone is going to need to feel sorry for Harry in that Household. :D
