	Awwwww! melts SIX kids? Wow! Are they trying to give the Weasleys a run for their money? giggles I love how domestic and peaceful this scene is. Now I really want to read a fic based on this. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hee, yes. The idea of Snape and Harry moving into OBHWF territory just makes me sporfle madly. Snape and Molly trading tips on teething... recipes for picky eaters... knitting patterns OMG! ROFL (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, the advantage of MPreg - both of them can carry children :D Harry always wanted a family like the Weasleys'. I won't mind a fic either, go ahead wink (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So sweet. I love Harry peaking around the wall and Severus wearing glasses. Nice work!~Sophia (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you :) I needed this sweet domestic scene after my uncharacteristically ansty other entry :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Awww! I love Severus sitting around in bare feet reading with his kids. Is it just me, or does he looks a little chubby 'round the middle? (= Wonderful job. Totally love it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They are good cooks, both of them :) And after carrying their children... But that doesn't make him fat gggg (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. At least with MPreg they could share carrying their children :D I was seriously tempted to put even more children in the pic but took pity on them :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Quite the brood they managed. Looks like a couple of sets of multiples. Lovely. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was thinking the same thing re: the multiples! Now I want to write a cracktastic Snarry version of Jon & Kate Plus 8. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can elaborate :D Severus carried their eldest son (on the doggy) and their youngest daughter (the third on the broom). Harry is young and powerful, managed two sets of twins (the younger pair is on the broom, the older is the remaining two) ggggg (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That is so clever-love the details like the chocolate frog cards and the Knight Bus on the floor. A few more children that I would have expected but Severus would make a very potent fertility potion (or one or both of them have very powerful sperm). g Adorable domesticity. Well done.

I will repost it to my journal with a close-up of those misc details. I put those in the pic after my beta (who has twins :D) pointed out how unrealistic the room without lots of scattered toys and things *ggg*

I'm so in love with this! Their big comfy old house looks so homey and perfect for raising children in, and I'll bet there are rooms set apart for Harry's and Severus's brewing and scholarship. Ok, for Severus's. *g*

The pretty rug really goes with the Craftsman style and look. I'll bet the kids love making up mini-adventures in its maze of lines, just like they love tumbling over that squashy, sturdy chair and footstool. I'm guessing from the teacup on the tray that Snape was reading there while the children played at his feet, but set his book aside to move to the floor and be with the children. He looks like the most *awesome* father. I think Harry's peeping around the corner just to marvel at how good Sev is!

The toddler playing in the cauldron is FTW. :-)

Also, Albus's portrait looking on. *woobies*

	Thank you :) I'm sure Severus is the most awesome father! Just look at him :D The toddler climbing into the cauldron is my personal favourite :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	vimeslady 2009-04-24 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	This is so wonderful. The Knightbus, the books, the portrait... I want to go and visit this family so much it hurts! And in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "Single, then quads, then single...no, it's twins, then triplets, then single...no, it's triplets, then twins, then single..." (Reply to this) (Thread)

Aww... this is so sweet. And six kids, wow! The one crawling into the cauldron had me laughing and I almost missed the three on the broom. I guess that's a good way for Severus to keep half of the kids occupied. I don't know if he'd be able to handle all six at once, haha.

I really love the fireplace and Dumbledore's portrait. It really warms the scene up. I also love that I can see a bit of both Snape and Harry in the toys, candy, and decor. :) Very well done!

	Awww, they are just up to their ears in kiddos, aren't they? Very cozy, though probably also very noisy when the unlucky dad announces bedtime has arrived. Fun! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Aw, this is so cute! They've certainly got their hands full (six?! and all so little!!), but something tells me this Snape makes an excellent dad... (Reply to this)

This put a happy smile on my face :-) I love all the wonderful detail. It must have taken a lot of effort to find all the fitting pieces and to put them together. The room looks beautifully comfortable, I love Dumbledore's portrait and the kid climbing in or out of the cauldron! :-) Also, I tend to think these can't be all their kids, they are all same age! They must be baby sitting some of those kids, or maybe they adopted some. Then again, it's possible Harry was the first wizard ever to bear sextuplets... Whoever mentioned that powerful fertility potion, they were on to something... Also, almost forgot to say, I like Harry peering around the door frame. Well done.

	Lovely! It's so sweet to see Severus sitting on the floor reading to one of his children while the others do whatever strikes their fancy (my favorites are the child crawling into the cauldron and the one sitting on the dog). I must echo what others have said - this art deserves fic to go along with it. (Reply to this)

	so sweet and heart-warming! g my, my they are prolific! and of course, I love the doggie, so tolerant of the pups. (Reply to this)

	elvirablue 2009-04-29 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	That’s an inviting and cozy scene. No wonder Harry has stopped to marvel at it. The kids look adorable, and all those wizarding toys are a wonderful idea. As for the pregnancies, I think they must have shared the carrying. (Reply to this)

Great pic! I really like the detail of the furniture, the wood and cushions, the pannelling and the books. The family of color is subtle, with the yellows and the primary colors of the toys popping out at the viewer, and allows the eye to take it all in quickly and focus on the childres (all six of them--whew!)

It all combines to create an effect of sheer loving domesticity, of a normalcy that I am sure neither Harry nor Severus thought they'd ever acheive.

Beautiful, it just gives me the shivers at how much I yearn for that for our boys!

Guh! I totally love this!*///*
Sev looks so... dad-like.^^ And his glasses and the way he wears his hair make him a pretty sexy dad.;)
I love all the details; I could look at the picture for hours and always find something new to squee about.^^ I love the pillow on the armchair, by the way!^.^
This picture makes me feel all cozy and warm and I need to go and hug my mom now.^_^ Wonderful family-feeling!
Great work!:-*
