A/N: Okay I am back, :) how are you all ;)

A small, tabby cat made its way to Gryffindor tower. She padded up the stairs of the male, fifth year dormitory and found her way into the room. She looked around and found her target-a snoring, blond dog. She playfully batted his nose until finally, he woke up with a snuff. He jumped and turned into notorious Sirius Black.

"Minerva?" He yelped. Harry stirred in his sleep and Black clapped a hand over his mouth. He got off the bed, tucked Harry in, and closed the curtains around the bed. He placed a silencing charm on each bed, and turned back to the cat. "Minerva, what are you doing here? Do you know what time it is?"

The cat ignored him and padded over to Draco's bed. She disappeared behind the .curtain for a few moments before returning with Severys the snake. Sirius quirked an eyebrow and smirked.

"What do you think you're doing, Minnie?" He asked playfully. She meowed and motioned for him to follow her. He turned back into Dragon and began trailing her. He followed her all the way down into the dungeons.

When they came to their destination, the cat squeezed through a crack in the wall and motioned for the dog to continue following her. Dragon huffed and wearily pawed at the crack. Suddenly, he thought of the fun he could have knowing how to squeeze into Severus Snape's living quarters and started prancing in.

Once they were in the dark man's rooms, Minerva McGonagall padded over to the bedroom and hopped onto the bed. She waited for Dragon and Severys to arrive in the bedroom. Severys at this point had climbed up Dragon's body and rested on his head. Dragon sat on the foot of the bed, staring at a sleeping Severus. He seems so peaceful when he's resting, the animagus dog thought as he watched his counterpart begin to bat the man's rather large nose. Dragon sniggered.

Severus did not dream often, and when he did, it was usually bad. However, this most recent dream had been a magnificent one. It seems Lily had wanted to express how proud she was of both him and Black and was currently conversing with him while they sat on their childhood swing set.

"You're doing so well with him, Sev. I really think he's happy, and it's all because of you and Sirius. Please, protect him from Dumbledore and Voldemort." Lily pleaded. Severus smiled.

"I will, Lily." He promised as he moved to scratch his nose. It suddenly tickled. This was new. Immediately, Lily began to fade away. "Lily? Lily!" Severus began to cry out.

Back in the real world, Severus began to roll over in his bed. "Lily." He whispered again and again. Finally, he opened his eyes. They fell on a tabby cat that was sitting on his chest. He sat up, quite confused, and then spotted a blond dog with a snake on his head. He moaned.

"Black!" Severus roared. He squinted his eyes a bit. "Is that my godson's snake on your head?" Professor McGonagall jumped off the bed and transformed back into her human form.

"Severus, is that really what you want to discuss right now?" She inquired. Severus glared at her.

"That is the only proper thing I have to say at the moment. Everything else should not be said with a lady present." Severus confessed. Sirius turned back into his form, still holding Severys on his head.
