DISCLAIMER: I do NOT, I repeat NOT own Harry Potter or any of the characters affiliated with JK Rowlings genius. So do not sue me because you won't get much!

A/N: Well I've started a new story people, aren't you all happy? Now this is going to be an AU also known as Alternate Universe fic. I've had this little plot bunny running around since I had Harry turned into a baby in Unknown Father and I can't get away from it. Now if this is the first time that you're coming across my work then you don't need to go and read the other stories that I've written because this story isn't part of the series that I just completed. Now this is not a Severitus Challenge fic but I'm keeping with the plot that Severus is Harry's father but since this is an AU fic then that means that it's different. So I hope you all enjoy this new story that have read my previous works and for those of you who are just now coming across my writing I hope that I don't disappoint you.

A/N2: Oh and I apologize in advance for anything badly written. I am not, nor will I ever be, a writer. I do this for fun. If you want to know what I do then click on my penname and read my bio and it'll tell you. So if my writing style displeases you in any way I apologize. Oh and those of you who have read my stuff before, I'm heavy on angst and especially 'Harry torture' though I doubt there'll be much now because this is the early stuff like 'Baby and Little Harry' So I'm going to stop babbling now and get on with the story. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A/N3: Oh and just so you all know, I never write an outline or have an in depth plot in mind, it's just general stuff and I only write what I'm inspired to write and when I have the inspiration.

Chapter 1 (of who knows how many!)

Severus Snape couldn't be happier. He had a beautiful fiancé, good friends and was extremely intelligent. Severus' fiancé was Lily Evans, charms genius and former Gryffindor. Severus himself was a potions genius and it was because both of them had struggled in the other's respective field that they formed a friendship and relationship.

Severus and Lily both had graduated Hogwarts two years prior and had since entered the Ministry. Lily was working in the Department for the Development of Experimental Charms and Severus was working as an apprentice to the Ministry's top Potions Master. Both hoped one day to get a job teaching at Hogwarts since they dearly missed the school.

Severus especially wanted to be closer to the school because of the amount of times he had to give reports to its headmaster Albus Dumbledore. The reason Severus had to give these reports is because Severus was a spy for the light in Voldemort's Inner Circle of Death Eaters.

Severus had been forced to join by his father who had died only a year after Severus finished Hogwarts. Severus' mother had died when he was in his 6th year. Severus had never been close with his father but his father had brought him up and trained him to be the 'perfect little death eater.'
Severus' heart just wasn't in it. He never had gotten along with his father but had learned at a very young age what would happen if he went against the man. His father had been Voldemort's right hand man while he was alive and practically expected the same for Severus.

Severus himself was very high ranking in the Inner Circle and Voldemort placed a lot of trust in Severus. The man was absolutely volatile and knew some impressive hexes and curses. Plus the fact that he could brew extremely complex potions didn't hurt either.

Lily was fully aware of her fiancé's double agent act and knew that there was nothing that the two of them could do about it. It was this or death for Severus and Lily couldn't bear to see that happen.

Upon graduation the two had moved into a small flat in Diagon Alley that suited the two perfectly. It was close to their jobs and where they could get supplies and money if they needed it. Severus had received a large portion of money upon his initiation into the Death Eaters from his father and even more when he graduated so the two were not desperate for money. Lily's job paid very well while Severus' didn't so it worked out for the two of them.

Now that Severus' father was dead they were planning on getting married. They had wanted to wait until Severus' father was out of the picture. Lily's parents had unfortunately been killed in a raid by Death Eaters when Lily was in her 6th year. Lily's parents as part of their will had divided their assets equally between Lily and Petunia though they left slightly more to Petunia since she was married. Lily didn't care though.

Also now that Severus' father was dead they decided to move into his family ancestral manor since it was left to Severus since he was an only child. They had moved into the manor and Lily had an absolutely grand time redecorating since the house was rather dreary and dull.

It was only about a month after they moved in that plans were seriously getting underway for the wedding. Severus and Lily had both decided that they wanted a small, private ceremony with only their closest friends and in Lily's case, family.

Finally the date came around and the small group of friends was gathered in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Albus was like a father figure to Lily and Severus and so it was only logical that they would ask him to marry them.

The wedding was beautiful. They were married on August 1st. Everything went perfectly to plan. Lily and Severus and their small assembly of friends were all very happy. Of course that night they did as all married couples usually do their first official night of man and wife.

The next months went by perfectly. Both Lily and Severus' jobs were going very well. Severus had managed to keep his marriage to a 'mudblood' from Voldemort. He managed to keep the fact that he was married period from Voldemort.

It was soon discovered that Lily was pregnant. Severus and Lily couldn't have been happier. It couldn't have been better timing other than the fact that the war was raging. Severus was a bit worried. It was common knowledge among the death eaters that any offspring had to be pledged to Voldemort. Severus did not want that to happen to his child what had happened to him. However; he was content to not think about it at the present moment.

The pregnancy was going fine. Albus was thrilled for the young couple and so was the marauders. Lily and Severus were having a lot of fun decorating a nursery in their home. Severus and Lily had insisted to know the sex of the baby as soon as it could be determined. They found out that they were expecting a boy.

They had already started to pick names and had it narrowed down to Harrison Cristoph and Harold Darien. Either way the child's nickname would be Harry.

Finally the time came for little Harry to be born. They had finally decided to just to name the boy Harold Zacharia Damien. Finally on July 31st at 2:47am after 40 hours of labor Harry came into the world with a wail that would have sent a banshee running for the hills.

As soon as the nurses had cleaned and wrapped up the screaming and wriggling boy they handed him to Severus. Just as Harry was settled in his father's arms he quieted down. He opened up his eyes to let Severus see that he had inherited his mother's emerald green eyes. Thankfully he had inherited his mother's petite nose as well. On top of the tiny baby's head was a shock of dark red hair with black highlights interspersed throughout.

Looking down at Harry you could tell immediately that he was Severus' son. There was no arguing about it.

After Severus had gotten over his shock he turned around to see that the nurses had just finished everything up with Lily and she was now waiting to see her son. Severus brought the tiny bundle over to his wife and held the baby next to Lily's head who said,

"Hello Harry. Happy Birthday."

Severus smiled and leaned over his son and kissed Lily chastely on the lips. Harry had managed to get a tiny fist free from the blanket and had grabbed a fistful of his father's long hair and tugged. This drew Severus' attention back to his son and said,

"I think somebody's feeling left out."

Lily weakly smiled and closed her eyes since she was positively exhausted from the entire ordeal. Severus looked down and said,

"Welcome to the world Harold Zacharia Damien Snape."

With a final kiss on his son's forehead he handed him over to the nurse who was going to take Harry to the nursery. Now that the adrenaline rush had passed from his son's birth he realized just how tired he was.
A/N: Well I hope that that was a good opening chapter. I know that if I had done the details of the wedding and pregnancy it would take me absolutely forever to get this story going. So I hope that was alright and I'm a sucker for slightly sappy stuff but I hope that it's not too sappy and I apologize if it ever gets too sappy. Now please push that little 'go' button and tell me what you think. I find that I thrive on reviews and the more nice ones I get the faster I'll write and give you more (hopefully good) chapters. But for those of you who don't know and some of you might have forgotten PLEASE NO FLAMES! In the wise words of my father if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. So thank you all for reading and I hope that this is a good story for everybody. TTFN!!
