Title: A Commonplace Love
Author: suitesamba
Other pairings/threesome: Canon pairings, Snape/female character
Rating: M
Word count: @18,224
Content/Warning(s): Canon Character Death (Not Snape or Harry)
Prompt: 57 - Voldemort required all his Death Eaters to have children. Can be anything. Perhaps Harry needs to adjust to Severus being a parent or perhaps Harry operates an orphanage since so many Death Eater's children are now homeless after the war. Perhaps Harry takes a shine to one particular child and later discovers the child belongs to Snape.
Summary: The day after the Battle of Hogwarts, Kreacher takes Harry back to Grimmauld Place, where the surprise of Harry’s life is waiting for him. As Harry devotes his summer to a most unexpected task, he must reconcile his plans for the future, his new responsibilities, and possibilities he didn’t even know he had.
A/N: My thanks my pre-reader, who helped me with valuable feedback, and to badgerlady, who threw me a handful of commas and hyphens then took half of them back again. This story is canon though the end of Book 7, with the obvious exception that Snape didn’t die from Nagini’s bite, and is not canon compliant with “The Cursed Child.”
