This chapter is dedicated to pip99542 as he came up with the character called Maximillian aka Maxie by me who is called Sumire. Picture to follow of us as well as Specks and Socks.

The following morning Harry woke up to crying meaning that Severus hadn't changed back after transforming into a baby the following day and so he had to inform everyone that they both wouldn't be in today as it sounded like Severus was going to be a pain, plus he had to go out to shop for everything Severus would need as he had almost ran out and he didn't want Mitzy to go and get them as she had too much to do anyway and so he decided to make a day out of it all.

Harry finally got up and headed straight to Severus' room and saw a heart breaking sight before him, Severus was on his knees holding onto his deer Lilly in one hand and the rail with the other crying his heart out calling for Harry over and over again.

"Oh Sevvy I didn't know that you were up and calling for me otherwise I would of been here sooner" said Harry as he picked up the still crying child into his arms noting his nappy right away.

"Come on mister let's get you changed and then we will be going out for the day I get Mitzy to go and tell McGonagall and say that we are unavailable" said Harry as he set Severus down on the changing table.

As he changed Severus and was headed towards the bathroom to give him a quick bath Mitzy popped up saying "I'd told McGonagie, she's be understanding Sir no come today. Bath ready too Sir" and she disappeared knowing that she wouldn't be needed today unless he called for her.

Once Severus and washed and dressed for the day in a light blue t shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts with little snakes on the pocket and a pair of sandals he was ready and brought him to his bedroom so then he could also get ready.

Harry dressed in a blood red top and a pair of dark grey trousers, these would please the older Severus as it was a colour he would definitely recommend and a pair of white converse shoes. Harry tried to slick back his hair and hoping for once that it would stay but it didn't it just appeared to be a tidy birdnest of a hair style which he knew he would get nothing better and so left, picking up Severus on the way to the kitchen where breakfast was waiting for them.

Once breakfast was over and done with Harry headed towards Hogsmead so then he could apparite to the Leaky Cauldron and from there shopping and a surprise for Severus.

Severus was tight against Harry's hip so then he wouldn't fall but he still held on tight though because he knew what as happening and even though he was a fully grown man that did this often as a baby he hated the whole thing and so buried himself into Harry whimpering with slight tears in his eyes but other than that he was ready for where ever Harry was taking him for the day.

Once at the Leaky Cauldron Harry as fast enough to get out of there he really didn't want people catching a glimpse of Severus and him anytime soon, that would be for another time entirely not now when he had a day full of fun for Severus.

Outside of the Leaky Cauldron Harry turned up the street and was met by many people passing by, quite a few of them bumping into them while others saw that Harry was carrying Severus and went around him but that was a select few of them.

"Ok now this might not be a good idea then again it might be I don't know to be honest with you but I think a stroller would be a good idea so then I won't full over if I'm pushed into while carrying you in my arms. What do you think about that Sev?" asked Harry to the child who was now sucking on his hand and smiled making drool grip onto his top.

"Come on I know someone who sells these types of things" said Harry walking up the street until he came a small shop that was selling baby merchandise, Harry smiled and walked in making the bell sound and thus making Severus giggle.

"Welcome to Baby Moon Forest, anything a baby will need, you can get here" said a quite voice off to the side to the door, she was in the window decorating for the new season that was coming, she had only prototypes at the moment but soon she would be getting a hell of a lot more come in.

"Hello I'm looking for a stroller for my..... um..... son?"  said Harry to her only for her to laugh slightly. "Of course we do and I will say this now I never knew my teacher was so cute like this, why didn't he tell anyone?" she asked Harry as she left the window and headed towards the till to grab some items namily paper and pen, ready to help Harry right away.

"What do you mean??" asked Harry only for Severus to look at the person and say "Am 'Mori!" and then giggled towards her reaching out to he held by her.

"You Mister Potter are silly, I was with the same year as the Weasely twins and to be honest I was also helping them with their pranks. I would also know my former Head of House and how he would call me Sammy instead of my real name" said the girl informing Harry of who she was but not fully taking Severus out of his grip and started to sway with him.

"So you know who I am can I ask who you are and why you are holding my Little who I have to admit seems quite happy anyway" .

"My name Mister Potter is Sumire Tsukimori or what my friends call me is Sammy, Professor Snape here started calling me Sammy as I was one of his best student in my year at Potions as well as I was Head Girl also" said Sumire to him as she led them to the back of the shop that sold strollers.

"Do you know what type of stroller you will need?" this made Harry blush he had no clue what to get that would support a ten month old child and so he shook his head still blushing.

"I'll take that as a no and by the look of it I would said he is between ten and twelve months old and so I would suggest a Costatto Giggle 2 brand model as it will grow with him" said Sumire to Harry as she brought it forward for him to have a look and all he did was not his head as he had no clue about anything like this me knee he should if asked Mitzy to get this and not him, this would be less embrassing but here he was buying a stroller for his teacher!

"Mister Potter.... Harry don't worry no one will know that it's for our beloved Potions Professor all they will know is that you are buying something for a baby, that he needs nothing more" and she smiled.

Next Harry truly looked around and saw that what he needed was all here ready for him to collect and store for future use, namely bottles, blankets, nappies, cream, spare clothes, formula that is if Severus would take it or not, wipes and would it kill Severus to use a brush instead of using his wand to comb his hair!!

Harry got out a list and asked his Hector the store assistant was around as it would of been a lot better to ask him them as the store owner that he now worked out as Sumire Tsukimori, her last name did mean Moon Forest after all and the store was named after her.

"Sorry Hector is away on holiday and so it's just me and Maxie here but he's sleeping at the moment is there anything I can help you with?" so Harry gave her the list that Mitzy so helpfully put together for him while he was giving Severus his bath this morning.

"Ah I see, the House Elf has written a list of what you need for him when he is like this but also for when he is back to his original size, come let's head to the back where I keep everything that YOU will need" she closed and locked the door and turned the sign around saying that she had gone out and would be back within half an hour and more than that she would dare to think about it.

I'm back Harry could see so many different items that seem to hold much more then what they looked like they could, for instance a back of nappies that said fifty on it accurately meant five hundred, something that Harry would need for Severus as these could be used when he was an adult as well.

" Well Mister Potter I'll let you pick out what you will need after I tap each item on your list they will come out with two different options for you and you can pick from there. I would like to get to know my favourite teacher in this form, if that's ok with you?" said Sumire to him and then looked at the baby in her arms sucking on his fingers.

"But first a dummy I think" out flew five different ones for which had the House logos on and one that had a letter on it which could be changed to any letter for the child's name.

"Harry pick one out for him to use and I don't think his fingers will be any better" she said to him waving the dummies over to the young man two years her younger.

Harry knew which ones he would choose and so very quickly taped his wand on the Slytherin dummy as well as the one that could have is initial on it meaning that it was his. Sumire smiled and the two dummies came out of their places wrapped and once in front of her she opened them up and placed one into Severus' mouth after she had taken his fingers out of his mouth.

At first Severus was shocked that his fingers had been removed and that something rubbery had been replaced by them, he at first wanted to spit it out but after a second of thought he gave it a slight suck and soon the new found item was bobbing up and down in his mouth, he smiled he loved this thing and no way in hell was he giving this up to anyone!!!

Both adults smiled to him and set about everything on the list that they needed but as Harry was picking the final item a small black haired toddler came running into the room crying "mama!" tears in his eyes.

Sumire just smiled towards him with Severus in her arms still bent down to the boys level and said "well Maxie it seems you've woken up in Little Space after your nap it seems" and she ruffled him hair gently making him only nod, he wanted to be picked up and held that dream was just plain awful to him.

"Harry do you mind hold him while I sort my Little out, he seems to have awoken due to a nightmare and so has woken in his Little space, it's a good thing I closed up shop for you" and she smiled towards him as he took back Severus into his safe hold.

As Harry looked on as the pair converse he looked at a very happy and content Little in his arms and quietly said to him "Sev you know you can't have that when your back into big space right? Everyone already knows but still I don't think that you'll be too happy letting them see" this made Severus moan and put his hand up to his new treasure shielding it from Harry's view.

With Sumire and Max, one was listening to the other as the told of their nightmare. "Mama Blue....Blueberry went missing and I couldn't find him at all!" was all he said jumping into her arms crying while holding onto Blueberry tightly.

"Ok baby boy Blueberry is with you so don't worry, nothing is going to happen to him I promise you that ok" and she swayed with him in her arms.

When she finally turned round both Littles looked at each other and then hid their faces in their Guardian's chests whimpering slightly but then Max was off and playing again like nothing had happened.

"Sorry about that Maximillian there is kind of shy but nothing to worry about, I'm completely surprised that he woke up from a nap in Little space normally he doesn't but oh well".

"Oh I know him he's a year younger than me and I never thought he would be a Little but then again no one knew about Sev here, right Sev?" but Severus was too engrossed in his dummy for anything else.

Max was playing in the other room with a cat and a fox, they were pets of both Sumire and Max, suddenly the fox ran off and hopped up on Sumires's shoulder and led down and brushed it's nose against her ear, it looked like it was affectionate but in fact it was talking to her.

"Harry do you have any other plans today?"

"No I don't think so, I came to get Severus' stuff which we now have thank you but nothing of the sort at the moment why?"

"Specks here has just reminded me that I promised a certain little boy a trip to the Aquarium as he has been so good at helping me within the shop as well as behaving for his father".

Hearing the words 'good', 'trip' and 'aquarium' Max came running in squealing with joy that he was going to his favourite place, along came Socks the cat running behind meowing as she went.

"We go now please" asked Max as nice as he could and Sumire knew he was up to something but had left it as it was saying nothing just saying "yes we can, can you go and get your jacket and shoes while I finish taking with Harry" and so off he went to get his shoes and jacket.

"Would you like to come along, the more the merrier if you ask me and j don't think the Professor here has been to a Muggle Aquarium before as he has spent most of his life in the Magical world" said Sumire as she went to gather Max's things which happened to all be behind the till area.

She placed some spare clothes and pull up, just in case, Blueberry as well as some food and drink for him even though she was going to buy him lunch it was just a after thought but it couldn't really hurt anyone could it.

Harry looked at Severus and Severus looked at Harry both of them looking into each others eyes asking the same question should they go or shouldn't they?  In the end everything was decided on by Max as he came running in saying "you're coming as well right?" handing his shoes over to Sumire as he sat down on the stool that was sitting by the till.

Harry just looked at the brown eyed Little and said "I think we just might come along it was either that or be stuck in out chambers for the remainder of the day as everyone else would be in class" and with that he placed Severus in the stroller and buckled him in and handed Severus a dark green blanket as well as Lilly the deer.

Once everything was paid for and Max had his shoes and jacket on and that Sumire had a hold of his hand all four of them left the shop to head to the Aquarium.

,..................

At the Aquarium Max was in awe of how big it was, even though they had been there a number of time before but it was always more and more surprises found each time they came. Severus on the other hand was bugged eyed he had never seen anything like this before in all his years, even when he looked out into the watery deeps of the lake of Hogwarts grounds.

"Can I have two adults and an under five ticket please and does the baby need a ticket as well?" asked Sumire to the vender he aid no about Severus having a ticket and then rang up the other tickets and stamped their hands and then they were allowed in.

First of all it was a water bridge of sorts, water flowed below and glass sat on top making it look like you were walking on water. As they walked though Severus was in awe everything was so bright and all he wanted to do was touch absolutely everything that came within reach but he was stuck in this stupid thing!!

"'Addy ou' 'ease!" asked Severus to Harry as he was pushed through what looked like a waterfall of lights and sounds, "Sev it wouldn't be a good idea, it's busy here even though it's a weekday, like I said earlier I don't want you to get hurt if I get bumped into" Severus wasn't happy about it at all, he wanted out but Harry just didn't want to listen to him.

He wanted to cry but her knew that Harry was right be would be hurt if Harry got bumped into if he was holding onto him, even though he loved to be carried by Harry he knew he was right and so left it at that for the time being that was.

Next as they went on their way was a massive water tunnel this really made Severus' stomach swirl it felt like he was underwater as all around him he saw many different types of fish and sharks and he had to admit their must of been a turtle somewhere in the mix as he thought he saw a massive shell swim passed them.

"Mama lookie sharkie!!!" squealed Max at the top of hi lungs making tears spring into Severus eyes that was loud and he didn't like that one bit!!

"Maximillian Quinn what have I said about using your indoor voice when we are in places like this??" asked Sumire to the Little who was pointing towards a swimming shark.

"Mama I sorry!" whimpered Max to Sumire but she turned to him and said "it's not me who you are to say sorry to, it's Severus her, you've scared him with your screaming now what do we say?" and she turned the Little towards the baby in the stroller who was now hugging Lilly for dear life, that had really scared him.

"Sev'rus sorry" said Max to the other Little who was now slightly crying but other than that he was completely fine. "Tay" was all he said to Max as they all started to on their way, deeper into the Aquarium.

Their next adventure was at the Jelly fish hang out, there was hundreds of them in this particular area and they were split into different smaller aquariums each with their own colour so then you could see them all, Max loved the ones in the blue tank while Severus was living the green one.

As they went though into the ext area which happen to be the rays, Harry had taken Severus out of the stroller so then he could see the rays from above, he squealed at it all. Max wasn't so sure about them but when the rays came up to the tanks side he laughed at it, they had funny little faces underneath them and you could only see them when they came up to the sides. Max's giggles helped Severus relax and he too started giggling more and more.

They had spent at least ten minutes there when an announcement came saying that the penguin feeding was about to happen and then the seals.

"Mama please we go to that please" begged Max to Sumire while Severus gently pulled Harry's top to him asking the same question, both 'adults' looked at each other and smiled "yes we can let Harry put Severus back into the stroller and then we will get going" and with that they were off to watch the penguin feeding and seal feeding.

At the feeding stations everyone was sitting and watching, Max and Severus on their Guardians laps so then they could see. First of all it was a show and then it was a talk and then a show again and then lastly it was feeding and the worker asked if any child would like to help feed the animals and Max jumped up at the chance and begged Sumire if he could.

She picked him up and went to the side of the tank with Max in her arms, they were handed a fish and told to hold it at arms length and a penguin came out of nowhere and took the fish out of her hand! Max squealed at this and asked to be put down and once he was on the floor rushed to Severus and asked him to have a go.

Severus looked towards Harry and then back to Max and then back to Harry to see if it was ok and then Harry unbuckled him and carried him to the side of the tank with other people and their children.

Harry was also handed a fish to did what Sumire had done but Severus held out his hand wanting to help as well, he placed his small hand on Harry's arm and this was a perfect picture and one of the workers took their picture for them and the the penguins started to take the fish as well.

Sitting back down they let everyone else have a go and once the penguins were all feed the left to go to the seal feeding area but instead of joining in they sat in the back and a let the boys have a quick snack before they carried on before some lunch and hopefully a nap. But here was hoping for two Littles to have a nap.

At lunch Sumire made doubly sure that Blueberry was with Max at all times and when she went to place him back in his bag Max flipped out saying "no mama Blu'erry, needs lunch too!!" he made sure that he had a tight hold on his stuffie while Severus looked on while Harry prepared his lunch.

Severus wasn't at all happy with Harry's choice of food for him, puree carrots, strawberry yogurt with a rice cracker and some pumpkin juice while Harry had a chicken salad sandwich.

"'ant at 'addy" said Severus pointing to the sandwich opening and closing his hands after pushing his food almost off his tray.

"Sev please I know you like everything you had and at the moment, like that, your teeth are hurting you so I thought this would help you more" explained Harry to him, ignoring the hands and the whines coming from the child in front of him.

After lunch the rest of the trip went very quickly all because two Little boys ended up having a nap while Harry and Sumire wandered the Aquarium, they ended up watching the sharks swim by as well as the giant turtle that Severus has seen earlier.

As Harry was reading the information on the turtle which was called Hector a whine from the stroller meaning that both Littles were waking up.

Max noticed right away where he was a wasn't at all happy about it all and voice his opinion in the matter.

"Mummy out now!! I a big boy no need this!! OUT!!!" screamed the Little which made Severus tear up and start crying with all his might.

"Maximillian Alexander Quinn, stop this right now, you have upset Severus with this screaming, his younger than you" said Sumire getting Max out of the stroller and placing him on the floor, taking a hold of his hand and told him to sit on the step for three minutes, he cried the whole time.

Harry had gotten Severus out of his stroller and was calming him down while Max served his time oiy.

After three hellish minutes Sumire allowed Max that time out was over and he ran over to her saying sorry over bad over again, "Maxie can you be a big boy now and say sorry to Severus as well because you scared him by shouting like that" said Sumire to the Little and over he went.

He walked slowly over to Harry and once he was in front of him, he looked towards Harry and then Sumire and then Severus who was now sniffering into Lily.

"Sev'us I sorry me scareded you" said Max to him and once that was said and not waiting for a reply he ran into Sumire's waiting arms.

"Thank you baby boy for apologing to Severus remember he's smaller than you so you have to be careful with what you say and do, ok" and she swug him into the air and caught him kissing him on his forehead and handed him Blueberry which he buried into, sighing happily.

The trip was coming to an end and a the last stop happened to be the Clown fish and once the two Littles saw them they shouted out "Nemo!!!!" Max ran right up to the tank which Severus was brought over to it as he was now in Harry's arms and he didn't want to be in the stroller anymore, a whole day in it wasn't what he wanted anymore, he wanted Harry and Harry only, the stroller could burn in hell for all Severus could care.

At the end Sumire and Harry took the boys to the gift shop for a treat as they had been so good even with the slight hiccup in the middle but other than that the day was a good day.

Max ran right over to the sharks and picked out a bright orange stuffie shark and kept making it try and eat Sumire who kept saying to the shark don't eat me, this made Max giggle and then he tried to eat the shelves. He was having so much fun that in the end Sumire had to pay for it. He called the shark Rip as 'that what they do' was his answer.

Severus on the other hand had trouble choosing, he didn't want Lily to feel unloved if he got a new toy but Harry said to him that Lily would always love him even if he got a new toy, and so he very slowly picked out a stuffed octopus which me called 'Octi' he was a sparkly purple and blue.

They left the Aquarium for the day and as Severus now was falling asleep again, Sumire left once they got back to the store which Harry went into an alley and apparited back to Hogwarts and walked into their chamber.

As Harry was getting Severus ready for bed, the room changed back round to his adult room.

Harry looked down and saw that Severus was back to normal, "I'll let you finish ok" and Harry walked out while he heard him get down from the changing table, once in the living room Harry heard the shower going.

Finally after two days Severus Snape was back to normal, well normal for him.

The shower stopped and in walked Severus in clean dark gray pyjamas and a towel around his next his hair still dripping wet.

"Sev come here so I can dry your hair for you, I can tell your tired" said Harry and right away Severus came over and sat down on the floor and let Harry dry his hair humming while he held tightly onto Lilly and his new friend Octi.

Soon Harry could hear soft snores and looked down and saw that Severus was sleeping and so Harry took him to bed and he hoped that Severus woke up in Big Space.
