>SEVERUS' POV<
I hate myself. No... I don't want to live anymore.

I mean, I should've fought her back! (He's NOT referring to Scarlet --Author)

I drank the 3rd bottle of Firewhiskey of the night, and burried my face into my hands, crying ucontrollably.

>SCARLET'S POV<
I was in my bedroom, charming a teddy bear to keep Teddy entertained while I was babysitting him. I opened my window again, and the sunshine crept on my face. It was nearly 8am, and birds were singing everywhere.

I almost forgot my power of speaking to animals, and can hear the harmony all of them sang, together. Smiling to myself, I watched as a random and lost kite flew past, making me laugh. "Scarlwet!" Teddy exclaimed happily, I looked over to Teddy and sighed... He kept on morphing into Snape's face every now and then.

I stood up, and carried the boy in my arms as he changed back into his normal look. "You know you should stop that. It isn't helping." I told him, when Teddy suddenly pointed his finger towards the window. I forgot the window was open, and a little butterfly flew in. "Bwutterfwy!!" he said excitetedly, I put him back on the bed, and stretched my hand out for the butterfly to land on.

As it landed, I was in awe as the butterfly looked so pretty. It's wings were color pitch black...

 It's wings were color pitch black

"You remind me of someone. . ." I whispered, the creature understood me and looked up. I walked to the window and let it go, while Teddy kept on jumping up and down. "Scarlwet!!! Sev!!! Sev downstwairs!" he exclaimed, I tilted my head. "Oh Teddy, you're going crazy. Snape isn't downstairs." I replied, but he jumped off the bed and tugged on my sleeve. "Gwo downstwairs, now!" he ordered angrily, I furrowed my brows, and picked up the baby having a tantrum.

"No. You're sleepy, you should go to sleep." I told him, and put Teddy in his crib beside my bed. "Scarlwet gwo downstwairs!" He shouted, swatting his arms everywhere... I rolled my eyes. "Alright, you little rascal, I'll go down." I said, and left the boy.

But no one was there. Me and Teddy were the only ones in the house, and us only, maybe he just needs rest.

But I gasped as I came back to the room.

Snape was holding Teddy in his arms, while Teddy was crying. "Teddy!" I exclaimed and watched as Snape held out his hand to stop him. "He's upset." Snape muttered, and made Teddy wrap his little hands around Snape's thumb. He suddenly calmed down. "What are you doing here?" I asked him in a montone voice, avoiding eye contact. "I want to explain on what you saw the other day." he told me, sitting down. "What?! I already said the same words. Let me explain. Listen to me. I need to tell you. But you didn't listen either! I've received too much, so would you cut the act! You think I can handle by you holding my strings and just dropping me like that?! Get away!"

Those words angrily escaped my mouth, as I continued to fix a bottle of milk for Teddy, but he was already sound asleep. "Scarlet, please -"

Knock.

Someone knocked. My head snapped towards the door, and looked back to the Potions Master. But Snape wasn't there anymore, but only Teddy, who was now lying across my bed sound asleep. What happened? Uncle Sirius came in, smiling, and carrying a small album.

"Let me guess... You found another album with a hysterical photo of Moony from Uncle Prongs' trunk." I told him.

"Yes... And we went to Diagon Alley today and bought your school supplies!"

"You went to Diagon Alley without me?! I hate all of you." I joked the last part, and pretended to cross my arms. "But look at Moony here!" Uncle Sirius said trying to change the subject. It was true, Uncle Remus looked a bit funny. "PADFOOT!" Uncle Remus' voice bellowed from downstairs. "Oh no." Sirius muttered, and dissapeared, screaming as Remus tried to grab the photo.

I had a nightmare.

I was dreaming - or nightmaring about Snape... Kissing Jones.

Yuck.

They kept on mocking me, and I couldn't help it anymore, making me wake up. I noticed I was panting and sweating so much, and stared at the clock.

🕖 7:00am.

I stared around my room, and sighed. As usual, Aunt Tonks had to leave for the Auror thing, and was surprised to see me wake up earlier than usual. "Well, good morning, Scarler, dear." she greeted, I smiled and sat at the opposite chair. Tonks kept on trying to feed the vegetable to Teddy.

"Please eat it, Edward Remus Lupin." Tonks pleaded, I remembered Snape's thing to calm people down, and did exactly to Teddy like yesterday. I borrowed the spoon from Tonks and held his arm, to our surprise, he ate it.

Yesterday...

Hello...

Is it me you're looking foooorrrrr!

Sorry, that was pretty awkward. Oh, and sorry if this chapter is too cringy, or short, or confusing, either of any. Anyways... How's life? So remember that I make Scarlet and Sev fight for only 2 chapters, pfft, I improvised.

QOTD: If you can turn any of the HP characters into babies and babysit them for a day, who?

AOTD: To be honest, taking care of a baby Severus would be quite intresting....
