Severus will be alive even though he died in the books and films (I want to remember Alan Rickman more than anything) I don't own Harry Potter that is all down to J.K. Rowling

Something was up with the Potion's Professor at Hogwarts School for Witches and Wizards, but no one knew what it was all about; he seems a bit skittish if that's what you call the Demon Dungeon Bat also known as the Greasy Git.

It had been an eventful last year for the classifications, he was finally glad that it was finally over until the next year which was only just beginning, another lot of seven years would be classified three months before the end of their schooling and then head into their roles after they had finished their schooling.

One of this pervious students was still in the school, not because he had failed all of his exams, he passed them all with high regard mind you, but he was learning his new role, he was becoming a teacher; one Severus Tobias Snape didn't want to be in the building, that one person that managed to get himself almost killed every single year without fail, that he was here. Now he was becoming the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, everyone thought he was going to become an Auror like his father but he didn't.

That person was Harry James Potter!!

Harry was walking around the school doing his rounds as he had a free period making sure that everything was in it's right place and that the new first years weren't lost, when he noticed the Potion Professor acting strange.

Stranger than normal really, it was strange how he felt about his potions and how he acted but this was even stranger then anything that he had seen in his time within Hogwarts.

Harry had gotten to know Severus a bit more as he was now into his second year of being a teacher after he had graduated, two years to know that Severus was acting strange, something he knew he would find out sooner or later.

Severus Snape was heading towards his classroom before the start of his next lesson after lunch when Harry saw him, something must of caught his eye when he looked again he noticed a very slight waddle and something.... perhaps two somethings slightly hanging out of his robe pockets, when Severus noticed Harry looking he quickly wrapped his robes tighter around himself hiding what ever it was and then walked into his classroom slamming the door shut.

Harry knew he saw something, something he was going to find out and fast!

As classes were about to begin, the students who had Potions were standing outside as was the norm with Severus Snape he liked to make them wait until it was time, when there was a knock on the door and all he said was 'enter' in his monotone voice.

Harry poked his head around the door when he heard the reply and slowly opened the door, much to Severus' displeasure "Potter what do you want??" he asked in the normal way he would always address him, just like a student really.

"Well I just wanted to ask if it was ok to sit in your lesson to be honest, I like to sit in with some of the others to get the hang of teaching as I am still a student teacher" asked Harry as he came down the steps towards the Potion's Professor.

"Really Potter do you have to? Are you that much of a dunderhead that you still need help?" Severus sneered towards Harry who happened to smile back at him, saying nothing more making the man sigh.

"Very well Potter sit in the back and take notes on how I teach" and so Harry did what he was told and went to the back and got out his note book like he always did when he sat in lessons.

The students filed in, most of them didn't even notice Harry at the back of the room, he was scribbling away notes on how Severus was teaching and how to interact with the students, believe it or not now that he wasn't a student he wasn't scared of him like he used to be.

He found that Severus was a really good teacher and the reason he was so strict was because Potion's was a very dangerous subject and you could easily die if you put the wrong ingredient into it or let it boil for too long, everything was precise and to the point, nothing could be missed or extra added without it blowing up in your face. He had that happen to him on more than one occasion through out his schooling here. Ouch!

Harry took his notes and well as keeping a close on Severus, he WAS slightly waddling but it was completely un-noticed by the students and when he was doing his rounds to see if the Potions the students were brewing, his hand kept going to one pocket.... the pocket that Harry had seen with something in it, he kept watching until it was the end of the school day.

The students bottled up their Potions and put them on Serverus' desk and quickly left the room not wanting to stay any longer than needed to be and they headed straight to their dorms to complete their homework before dinner was called.

Harry was still in the back of the classroom checking over his notes and making sure he got enough information out of it all when he noticed a slight pull towards the Potion's Master/ Professor but he kept it under wraps as from what everyone knew he was a Neutral but in fact he was a Guardian and was on the look out for a Little of his own.

As he was getting up Severus was just leaving the room, again with the slight waddle, and when he noticed Harry was still there he gave him his famous glare and said "well Potter I do think it's time for you to leave" and with that Harry left right away and headed back to his own office to complete his lesson plan, for next week. 

"Professor I will see you tonight at dinner" and with that he left, Severus right away headed to his quarters and smiled, he had yet again got through another day without any one noticing this predicament.

As he entered his quarters he was able to change out of his heavy robes and just be how he was meant to be, but he knew he would never be complete, he needed the other half of his classification which happened to be a Guardian as he was sadly a Little.

When he knew his classification, Dumbledore just smiled at him but said nothing until he gave Severus the parchment, "Severus my boy, you will need a Guardian but at the moment no one is around for that role so it has come onto me that you will have to stay here until one can be found".

Severus didn't mind this meant he could do his apprenticeship in Potion's with Slughorn and then continue on with his Master's right afterwards, this he didn't mind at all.

As he was changing into a more relaxed wear, their was a knock on the door, he so didn't want to answer it so he asked his personal house elf Mitzy to go and answer it, which she did only to return with a message saying that he had a visitor waiting for him in the living room, he wasn't happy.

He made sure that he was wash, clean and changed before he stepped out into his living room and standing there in comfortable clothing and not his suit was one Harry James Potter, smiling slightly towards the noise.

Before anyone could act there was a spark, flashing from a light green of the Guardian from Harry to the pale baby blue of the Little from Severus, this meant that both of them had found each other, 'damn' thought Severus to himself as he felt himself slipping slightly into his Little space.

He was ok with Dumbledore knowing this as well as Mitzy as she was the one to look after him when Dumbledore was busy but to be combatable with Harry Freakin' Potter was unheard off for him, no way in hell was he going to become his Guardian and he sure wasn't going to be his freakin' Little.

"Huh.... Professor.... did you just feel that?" asked Harry, still not being able to call him by his first name, it was too freaky even for him to call that. Severus only nodded and then had slight tears in his eyes but nothing was said and then the dinner bell went at 6.00.

With a flash of black Harry was left in Severus' quarters because he had ran out, before he left Harry noticed a green and silver dummy on the floor with a snake as well as a 'S' on it, he picked it up and examine it, then it hit him Severus was a Little and not just anyone's  Little he was HIS Little.

Harry ran out now, he wanted to find him and tell him everything was alright only to bump into McGonagall holding a crying child, dressed in nothing but a long black t-shirt and a diaper, crying his eyes out into her shoulder.

"Ah Harry just the one I was looking for, it appears you have just worked out what has happened here, am I right?" she asked him making Harry nod slightly towards her "I think we should continue this in my office don't you think?"  she asked him and the baby, this made Harry follow her.

When they got to the office the child was still crying but what ever she did it only made it worse and the crying got louder and louder. 

"Harry do you think you could help me out, I know your classification is a Guardian and he will only settle if one is present" said McGonagall coming over to him with the child reaching out towards Harry of all things.

"Uh... sure Professor" said Harry taking the child into his arms and right then and there he stopped crying and smiled at him, "what happened?!" asked Harry only to see the slight smile on her face.

"You see here, a Little in their complete mindset and due to the having powerful magic they have transformed themselves into the child that your holding" she said as she sat down. Harry nodded. 

"Who is he anyway and why would a Little be here in Hogwarts when they should of found a Guardian right away??" asked Harry as ran his hand through the child's ebony black hair while he sucked on his thumb happily falling asleep as time went by.

McGonagall saw this and got up and picked up the sleeping child and placed him in an over sized cot and pulled the covers over him, letting him sleep, Harry was now very confused on the matter.

"Harry, this will most indefinitely shock you but did you notice the black hair and black clothes the child is wearing?" she asked making Harry nod, "who in Hogwarts wears black and has black hair?" she asked again.................. Harry was now in complete shock.

She went to the Floo and called for the hospital wing and put her head in once Poppy appeared "ah Poppy I was wondering if you come to my office please and check Harry and Severus. Harry has gone into shock and Severus is deep in his Little space and due to his he's now a baby" and with that she left and a few seconds later Poppy was there.

Poppy went right over to Harry and when she did he was brought back from his shock, she smiled sweetly at him and then went over to the cot holding the sleeping child.

"Severus, Severus, it's time to wake up little one" said Poppy slightly shaking his shoulders to wake him up, he slowly woke up but when he saw her she screamed at her as he tried to look round her to see Harry.

"Come on now, enough of that, come on now I'm not going to hurt you, you know me" said Poppy picking him up, once in her arms he did quite down slightly, his mop of black hair showing above her shoulder.

"Thank you Poppy for that" said McGonagall to her and then turned her attention back to Harry, "as you now know the child in Poppy's arms is in fact Severus Tobias Snape, he was classified like everyone else in his last year of schooling and he is a Little, no one at the time was a Guardian so they couldn't take him on.

Dumbledore thought it would be best to keep him here until one was found, he told everyone that Severus was a Master due to him being a Potions Master which worked quite well but sadly he kept slipping into his Little space after each day.

Over worked himself really and so Dumbledore thought it was a great idea to look after him but due to what happened no one can look after him now, there is no Guardian here until you, Harry, got classified two years ago" she let this all sink into him before she could continue he finally said something.

"You mean the child is really Snape of all things and because my classification is a Guardian I have to look after him?" he almost screamed but held it back due to the baby in the room, he was looking at the room around him until Harry had spoken then he giggled and smiled towards him.

"Yes, a Little will know its Guardian more as they interact, this could be the reason why Severus was mean to you through out your schooling as he knew who you were before you got classified" said Poppy bringing over Severus and sat down.

The moment she sat down next to Harry, Severus leaned over to be held by him, smiling and giggling towards him, Harry just couldn't resist his face and picked him up and right away Severus snuggled down, slightly dozing off.

"This just proves my point a Little will always know their Guardian" said Poppy getting back up to leave as she was busy with a student at the time, the student had came down with the flu of all things.

"So what now???" asked Harry as Severus slightly moaned in his sleep, Harry still had hold of the dummy and placed it between his lips and right away Severus was sucking on it.

"Well Harry I think you would need to look after him as his Guardian its in your power to look after him and care for him, we still need our Potion's Professor but Dumbledore set everything up in a schedule on how to look after him" said McGonagall handing over the schedule to him, "he knows this, very well and keeps to it even if you don't know any better".

Dumbledore had this all down but it could explain why no one saw him or Snape over the weekend and why Snape was a git over the weekdays, he wasn't getting enough Little Time and not having enough Little Time was bad for the Little in question.

Harry sighed towards her and then noticed the little snores coming from his arms, he checked his watch, it said 6.30, he had been grading for way too long and now they were missing dinner, the poor Little was tired but he knew he had to wake him up other wise everything would be off and tomorrow he would have a very up set Little on his hands, something he didn't need over the weekend.

"Professor, Professor it's time to get up, it's time for dinner, come one now time to get up" said Harry quietly to the child sleeping in his arms, he slowly woke up smiling at Harry and rubbed his eyes, yawning making his dummy fall out.

Harry caught it right away, all three of them made their way to the Great Hall so then they could have some dinner, Severus wasn't too happy about it in this form but with his Little space in fall swing he didn't care, at the Staff Table Harry sat down next to McGonagall and between them was a sliver and green high chair and right away Harry slipped Severus into it and started plating up food for him.

Before Harry could start to help feed him Severus was eating shovelling food into his mouth with his hands, Harry looked away with disgust but at the same time he thought he was cute and he sighed and let the child eat his fill while he ate his own.

He only stopped when something hit him on the arm, Harry looked up and saw a mash potato hand print on his shirt and a very guilty looking Severus Snape, he was trying to hide but couldn't as he was in a high chair, plus he had this cheeky looking smile on his face.

"Really??" Harry asked the child to his right but he was smiling the whole time at the child, Harry soon finished his food and grabbed a damp cloth, knowing all children hated their faces being cleaned he asked McGonagall for help which she did.

She entertained the child while Harry took about cleaning him up, once done he picked up Severus and bowed to the rest of the table saying that him and Severus were going to spend time together because he didn't know when he was going to turn back to the Potion's Master and he just didn't want it to happen in the Great Hall of all things.

As Harry headed into Severus' quarters Mitzy was waiting for them, "welcome Sir, I Mitzy, I's look after Master Severus in these times. Now he meant to grade, then play and bed" and she bowed to Harry, then stretched her arms out to take Severus from him so then they could get on with everything.

The room was bright and cheerful, how did he not notice before hand when he came earlier that afternoon, he had always thought it was dark and dingy but it wasn't; it was decorated in a calming Samsara with green and sliver decorations as a few decorations of the other houses mixed in, hand painted pictures hung on the walls, also some wizarding pictures were also hung, the couch was a dark green almost black with a silver rung and a glass table in front of it, quite homey if you asked him.

((The Living room image it with the colours I've mentioned))

"Hello Mitzy, I'm Harry and I'm his Guardian now as we have just worked this all out, he's already off his schedule, as he was grading for way too long, he missed his nap as well and because of this he's now a baby, I think it would be best if we just went ahead and had play time and set him into bed a little earlier than normal" said Harry handing Severus over to her so then he could look around.

The very moment Harry let go Severus screamed making Mitzy almost drop him in the act "Mitzy sorry, Mitzy sorry Sir" she kept saying as she now held the screaming child close to her chest, trying to calm him down.

Harry came over right away and picked Severus off her and calmed him down in a matter of five minutes, "Mitzy don't worry about it ok, he's ok, he just got scared because he thought I was leaving and him being deep in Little space means that he would rather be with me for the moment" said Harry to her, rubbing her head.

"Thank yous Sir" she said "never been told it ok befores" and she smiled towards him. "Mitzy can you show me around please, we will have play time and then a bath, bottle and bed for this little guy ok" said Harry to her and then he turned to Severus in his arms who was very content and happy but was falling asleep slowly, Mitzy just nodded to him, smiling.

"Sir this is living room, Severus Sir like to spend time with toy or read book" she said as she started the tour in the living room, as they headed to the kitchen "kitchen Sir, Mitzy will make dinner here and make bottles for Severus Sir" and she pointed to he kitchen and the dinning table there. ((description above when he walked in)

The kitchen was very homey as well, it looked like it came right out of a cottage all white and inviting to anyone that came into his quarters, with a dark purple colour for decorations, so then it broke up all of the white and dark brown stools by the island counter, in the corner was a high chair ready to be used. 

((The kitchen, image it with my colours mentioned))

To the left they walked down a corridor on the right was the bathroom "Sir, bathroom" this was a wooden themed bathroom with a shower and a bath, it was nothing but huge, Harry could see Severus in the shower when he was in Big space and in the bath when he was in Little space. ((he's not a perv, get that idea out of your head thank you very much))

((The bathroom, ok I have to admit this is my dream bathroom, so it had to come into the story))

Opposite the bathroom was a spare bedroom, this would be Harry's, the room was a light blue sea colour with a white wooden bed and dark blue bedding all the other furniture was dark but it was so calming to be in there, it just screamed relaxing. "Sir spare room" said Mitzy to him happily giving the tour to him.

((Harry's new room))

At the end of the corridor was a door, this must be Severus' room, for when he was in Big space, Harry wondered where he would sleep when he was in Little space but once he saw the room "Sir, Severus Sir's room" she said and with that she disappeared.

It was of white and light brown wood with green and sliver decorations throughout it all, it screamed homey and relaxing, so this was a place where Severus could relax from all of the 'dunderheads' he taught all day long. This made Harry laugh. 

((I'm just going to leave it like this, it's relaxing and something Severus WOULDN'T go for but in my story he would hahaha I rule this story!))

Once Severus saw his room he squealed at it all and almost jumped out of Harry's arms wanting to go onto the bed to sleep, "so you want to go to bed aye Professor" said Harry to the baby "Sev bed" squealed the child, "you can't just yet little one, you need a bath and a bottle then we will have some quite time and then it will be bed time" said Harry as he saw in the room suddenly change into a nursery making the child squeal even more, it was like the room knew that Severus was a baby and not the adult he was.

((Severus' nursery))

When it had finished changing Harry noticed that his arm that had Severus' bottom on it was getting slight damp but said nothing; the child didn't even care; and went right over to the changing table and started changing him, but instead of putting a new diaper on him he brought him to the bathroom where the bath was already filled with water and bubbles.

"Thank you Mitzy" said Harry as he lowered Severus into it making him squeal again, he went about washing Severus and playing in the bubbles with him, making the child very happy and at the same time very sleepy, so has he was falling asleep Harry got him out unplugging the bath and wrapping him tightly in a warm white fuzzy towel.

"Sev sweepy Hawwy" said Severus and Harry laughed "ok baby boy let me dry you and dress you for bed and then a bottle I think, then off to dreamland for someone I think" said Harry gently drying him on the changing table.

He was dried, diapered and dressed, as he was heading towards the cot, he noticed that next to the chair was a bottle of warm milk in a Slytherin bottle, it was cute, snakes all over, Harry smiled and once Severus saw the bottle he smiled tiredly and said "nigh nigh bot?" making Harry smile and said "yes baby boy it is your night time bottle" and he slowly placed the bottle in the Little's mouth and he started drinking right away.

Once he finished the bottle Harry looked at the time and saw that it was only 8.25 pm meaning that he was 35 minutes early for his bedtime, Harry didn't mind one bit, he did miss his nap after all he just hoped that he stayed asleep all night and got up at the right time. 

He smiled at the sleeping child in his cot, he didn't even finish his bottle too tired to do anything else, as he started to leave Severus started whimpering and so Harry placed his dummy in his mouth but that only slightly quieten him down, he didn't know what he was missing until Mitzy came in holding a small stuffed version of Severus himself once in the cot it transformed into a doe, just like all of the Potter's had, he knew Severus loved his mother Lily more than anything in the word, this just meant that he wanted to keep her in his heart forever.

Mitzy and Harry smiled once the doe was in the cot and that Severus had quieten down and was now snoring slightly, dummy falling out as his mouth went slack, both of them quietly exited the room and headed towards the living room.

"Mitzy can you please go to the Potter house and grab all of my things from there, namely my clothes, wash kit ect... and place them into the spare room as that will now be mine please, but before you do could I have a nice calming tea and some biscuits. I need to finalize my schedule if I'm going to teach DADA and look after Severus" said Harry explaining everything to the house elf.

Mitzy just bowed and made the tea and biscuits disappeared to the Potter household and brought everything back, by the time she was back which was only 10 minutes at most Harry had retired to the bedroom, reading a book and looking at his schedule hoping he could fit everything around and to be honest it was a lot easier then he thought possible, perhaps he was a better teacher than he gave himself credit for.

He laughed when Mitzy walked in with his things "thank you Mitzy for this" and she bowed to leave for the night, once he finished the schedule it was not 10 pm and so he went to bed, hoping nothing woke his Little.
