The next morning Severus made his way up the stoned driveway to the Potter's residence for breakfast. He did chat a lot with Lily and surprisingly James had apologized for being a prat. At the end Lily invited him to come to the manor the next morning.

He made it to the front of Galloway Manor. Being as they weren't connected to a floo network and Severus didn't have that option anyways with being in the muggle world. At first he couldn't find it but after asking a neighbor was pointed in the right direction. That was at the end of the block and up the hill.

It was a private road to the manor with a forest all around and once it opened up an exquisite manor sat proudly. A round driveway in the front with many different potted plants. To get to the manor itself Severus had to climb up red stone steps with more flowers bright and blooming. The manor walls sprang from the soil like the very dirt insulted them. Such ornate sandstone was too pretty to touch the earth, indeed it was a fantastic sight. The windows were oversized, mullioned and almost cathedral-like to let the sun cover the insides.

Severus made it to the large oak doors that had stain glass in the center; knocking on the old doors. Waiting he could hear a shout of 'boys!' And steps coming down. It finally opened to show an elderly lady with bright blue hair and a simple dress. "You must be Severus well do come in and mind the boys. Harry is currently teaching Alize transfiguration so try not to get caught." The lady said as Severus stepped in to the large entryway. "I am the matron here to look after the childerin when James and Lily are at work and other things around here mostly keep the house elfs hidden. Names Rose just call if you need anything. BOYS!" Severus saw two boys come out from the stairs a head of them."Breakfast is ready please take your guest to the dining room."

They both nodded, and the younger one came up to him. "I am Damian Potter. Food is this way." He took his hand and pulled him through a side double door.

Inside the rooms that were passed was bathed in daylight. Oak floors and antique furniture and different colors of wallpaper filled the rooms for its various reasons and uses.

"Severus, just in time. Damy thank you. Please have a seat." James greeted him pointing to a seat. "Lily will be down in a second."

They sat at the table in some quietness with the youngest boy telling Severus stories with the help of Edward. It was then interrupted by a scream and then, "Harry James!!" From Lily. Just as said boy laughed as he and Alize came into the room. Both in fits of laughter.

"Harry what have I said about teaching the kids magic at a young age?" Lily shouted down the stairs.

James didn't help only look to Harry "what did you do?"

Harry shooked his head "nothing Alize transfigured some curtain into snakes and then I told them to dance around Matron Rose." James laughed under his breath only to get slapped by Lily on the back of his head who had suddenly appeared.

"Really I can't believe you, James," she huffed then looked over to Severus "how had your morning been going Severus. Found the place okay?"

"Indeed thank you for having me. My morning was less hectic then yours." Severus responded with a smirk getting a huff from Lily

"Well dig in," James announced.

They all fell into a comfortable silence as they eat the house elf breakfast. Once they were all filled the children were the talkative bunch till James shooed them a way into the next room where they too joined them. "So how have you been Severus it has been to long?"

"Well I have been teaching at Hogwarts now after I got my Masters in Potion. It was about 14 years now. I also got my Science degree and have taken some speaking trips when I can."

"Well I am sure the students learn a lot from you" Lily said "I always knew you would get your masters."

"Speaking of Potions I have a few things I want to run by you" Harry said "since you are The Severus Prince."

Lily laughed at the look on Severus' face "don't worry Harry you have all night tonight to do so. Right now Professor Fontaine will be waiting for you, Harry, I also need your Potions Essay."

As Harry nodded, saying they were done and ready for her a disheveled Sirius walked in "Morning what did I miss? Oh Severus."

"Good morning Uncle Sirius" Edward said.

"mm" Sirius hummed as he plopped down one of the chiars.

"Oh latter today I want to do a duel, Uncle Sirius" Harry added waking Sirius up.

"No not you I could do Edward but not you too, Prongs?"

"No Padfoot Harry wants to do it with you, are you afraid he would kick your Auror butt." James chuckled at his friends failed plea "I have done it to much with him to hurt my ego."

"Lily, James, Harry Mr. Fontaine is here in the training room, he also mentions doing you to Edward after Harry."  

"Okay I best be off to another lesson," Harry huffed.

"What are you working on?" Sirius asked.

"Well there really isn't a lot left to cover for me. Edward still is third year. I am about ready to take the HARES by the end of the year. Passed all my EAGLES already."  Harry said shrugging shocking both Severus and Sirius. Harry got up and walked off after that heading to his lesson.

"He is really talented then?" Severus asked Lily as they sat in a parlor room after Sirius and James left taking the kids with them.

"Harry, yes he is couldn't keep his magic down started showing up after the accident at the age of two. Didn't know what else to do so my uncle on my mothers side invited us to stay and helped Harry. It turns out my mother was just a squib and so was my father I was the lucky one Petunia didn't get the gene for it. But Charles Sayre and my grandparents moved back to England but originated in America. I found out through Charles that my great great grandparents founded Ilvermorny. He passed though some time ago when Harry was about five left us everything."

"The house?"

"Yes it was fascinating to learn my ancestry. An interesting factor is through both me and James' side Harry got Parseltongue. Though he is the only one to get it out of the four of them."

"Indeed." He agreed "for me, after my wrong choice, I found out that my grandfather was a Prince. It was he who helped me get through things, passing the Lord Prince to me."

"Congratulations, I am sorry we lost tack of each other. Sirius told us people thought we were dead. I am wondering how you are holding up truly?"

"Well is I say it hard, I got a call from Dumbledore saying you were all dead. Even though we haven't spoken years prier due to the wars and such it was hard to cope. Which is what my mastery helped with. Though I am beyond happy to learn you were not actually killed."

She nodded her head "Yes I am sorry for just leaving like that. We had to protect Harry, and I was pregnant at that time with Edward we had to leave."

"Totally understand that. Why aren't the kids in Ilvermorny?"

"We though about it but the Headmaster Profesor Fontaine decided to exceed the rules for us after finding out our story, and also Harry's predicament so he comes and tutors them, in mostly everything except Charms and Potions I do those with James' help. Harry at age fourteen is about to take his HARES the NEWTS for us."

"That is a feet in itself," Severus acknowledge.

"Yes it has there is so much magic in him he doesn't know what to do with."

"Hey sorry to interrupt but Farace has asked us to finalize if we're going on the trip." James said sticking his head into the room.

"Right" Lily huffed "I still don't think its safe for Harry."

"Where is the trip?"

"England and Scotland for three weeks." Lily answered Severus.

"Well I could ask my partner to tag along for security." James added then filled in for Severus "I am the head and also an Auror for the U.S."

"Alright but if anything happens..."

"I know, I know," James said with his hands up leaving the room.

"So, do you have anything planned for the day. I thought a trip to town would be good." Lily asked getting a no from Severus they headed out for the day.
