It seems people may be back to their normal ages, and I'm assuming since you were not here this morning, that this is true for you as well?

[Filter: Harry & James]

Thank you both. I know Severus isn't your favourite person, but I really appreciate you both being willing to share your flat with him while he was, well, younger. I just really didn't feel comfortable leaving him by themselves all of that time.

	Yeah, I... yeah. I get it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	His family wasn't like yours, James. Or even like mine. It really means a lot to me. I have no idea how Severus will feel about it now that, I'm assuming anyway, he's back to his normal age, but it means a lot to me that you helped with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. I mean, I knew that from the books. But that was different from seeing it. How could a parent treat their own child like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know. Sev never really talked about it, even when we were kids, and there's very little about it in the books either. He'd just say his Dad didn't like much of anything. And he seemed to get along all right with his Mom. Mrs Snape was always just sort of quiet and pinched looking. Like she was resigned to something... I don't know - I really don't.

Having Harry - I mean, I understand that sometimes children can be frustrating, obviously! But I cannot imagine not treating them with love and respect either.

	I can't do anything, now that he's older. He'll only hate me more if I'm nice to him now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james lilspotter 2014-07-31 06:18 am UTC (link)
	No, I know. He might a lot. You an still be nice though. I mean, not more nice. Just nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Hey, it's nearly Harry's birthday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james lilspotter 2014-07-31 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Tomorrow. It sort of snuck up on me a bit with everything else... I was thinking we could have him invite friends to dinner. And I'm making a cake. Should we do something else do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james mrlilyevans 2014-08-01 03:25 am UTC (link)
	We should definitely have this over. You should make one of those snitch shaped cakes, I've seen pictures. We can ask him what he'd like to do, maybe? There's plenty of places we could all go for a day trip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james lilspotter 2014-08-01 05:39 am UTC (link)
	All right, I'll make a snitch-shaped cakes, and I love the idea of a day trip. Find out what he wants to do. It's a bit late for me to get off for tomorrow, and probably him as well, but we could all go this weekend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james mrlilyevans 2014-08-01 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	This weekend would be perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lily \| james lilspotter 2014-08-01 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Then let's find out what he wants to do and if he wants to invite anyone else, and let's just make plans! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's all right, we couldn't just leave him on his own, yeah? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Potter Family lilspotter 2014-08-01 12:08 am UTC (link)
	No, we really couldn't. Unrelated, your father has reminded me that I wanted to tell you that you should invite your friends to dinner tomorrow night. Unless you have other plans already, but I'd love to make you dinner, and I'm planning on making a cake. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Severus \| Lily bitterman 2014-07-31 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm back to normal. I Thank you both. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Severus \| Lily lilspotter 2014-08-01 12:09 am UTC (link)
	It was genuinely our pleasure, Sev. I'm just glad we were here and you didn't have to be by yourself the entire time. How are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus \| Lily bitterman 2014-08-03 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	~~And how long will your husband torment me about this?~~ I would have been fine. It was a small accident because apparently I can't read my own mind. I'm fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus \| Lily lilspotter 2014-08-04 06:11 am UTC (link)
	I know you probably would have, but I just wouldn't have felt right about it. Besides you're a friend, and that's what friends do for each other, we take care of each other. It may be a very Gryffindor-ish trait, but you'll just have to put up with it from me. Good, I'm glad. (Reply to this) (Parent)
