Prologue

~*~*~*~*~

Snape looked up from a large stack of ungraded essays to see a red haired woman with bright green eyes and a small child in her slender white arms.

"Severus…take care of him…"

Severus stood and moved over to the small woman. "Lilly…what are you doing here?"

"Severus, I don't have much time," She said hurriedly, looking behind her sporadically in a very frightened manner. "You can't let them find him…you can't…"

These words confused Severus to no end. What did Lilly mean, "You can't let them find him."

Who was 'Him'?

He looked at the woman with unreadable black eyes, for the first time, actually taking in her appearance.

Lilly Evans, who was usually a very bright and healthy girl, now looked haggard and warn. Her normally healthy egg shell white skin was slightly grey and her eyes had dark circles under them.

Her hair, on any other occasion, a very buoyant and bright, sun kissed red color, was now muted and almost matted with miss-care and sever neglect, a few of the beautiful soft waves that had once been very thick and rich were now thin and looked singed in a few places.

With another glance, he took in the bundled babe in her thin and very skeletal looking arms.

"My god Lilly, what's happened to you?" Severus asked as he stepped forward and gently took her shoulders into his hands and pulled her closer.

Lilly shifted her large green eyes that seemed to take up more than half of her face, took look at the Severus, truly look at him, for the first time since she'd arrived in his classroom.

"Severus, you can't let James find Harry, please, don't tell anyone, not even Dumbledore…neither know…I hid it from them…please, if they knew…They just can't."

She looked behind her once more. "Tom'll come…Tom will come for him, He looks just like him, my Harry, you look just like your father, same beautiful black hair and all...Your father will come for you…" Her eyes had drifted down as she spoke, more to herself than to Severus, or at least…that's what he thought.

And before Severus could blink she had fixed him with a penetrating stare. "Don't let James or Albus know…they'll kill him… I know I can trust you…I just know I can…"

Severus shook her gently, trying to get her to make sense. "Lilly, What are they doing to you, tell me. Hid what from them, do you mean the baby? Lilly…" Severus shook her again, "Lilly, tell me…"

Lilly just shook her head, quickly pushing the tiny baby into his arms and backing away. "It's not mine…please, just take it…"

Looking into Lilly's deep green eyes at her wild statement, Severus found pain and deep anguish as well as deep self loathing and a motherly instinct to protect her only child.

Nodding understandingly, Severus shifted and looked down at the child that was very carefully shoved into his chest.

It was then, when he looked down into the baby's very red, wrinkled skin was still sticky and looked as if it were peeling in multiple places, it's umbilical cord was cut and hastily tied off with a pony tail holder that had seen better days.

The baby shifting and lifting its face up, squirming and seeming to cry with a set of unheard lungs that could've blown out stain glass windows, Severus realized that Lilly must have just given birth, no more than an hour before.

"Lilly," He started, but was stopped with her next words.

"You're his Godfather Sev, let know one find out…it could kill him…it could destroy the truce…I…just want him happy…I…I have to go…"

And just as quickly as she'd blown into the damp potions room, Lilly Potter, wife of James Potter, soul bonded to Tom Riddle, rushed from the potion dungeons and out of the castle as if the hound of hell themselves were after her, so that the child and her beloved mate would be safe.

Little did Severus know that as the two had spoken a small rat crept out of the classroom with a heavy secret and made its way up to tell Albus Dumbledore exactly what he'd over heard.
