Chapter Text
The fact that Severus Snape himself had a wife was hard to wrap around anyone's head; let alone that she was a former Hufflepuff in the school and now the head of Hufflepuff as the professor of charms class, both Severus and his wife [y/n] were normally together during free periods of classes and there wasn't much affection in the open but not like he ignores her completely there was just no hand holding or random hug or kiss out in the open; she didn't ask for much either. It was a marriage of convenance actually for her family, they were purebloods but not like normal purebloods; seeing how they were close friends to the Snape family because of Severus's mother they arranged them both to marry after their graduation which of course happened, both of them being young and now being married for about ten years now; no heirs were pressured mostly on [y/n]'s family unlike Severus's mother his father could care less.
[Y/n] was walking the halls to head back to her office to grade some papers to the first-year students, but she turned the corner to find Severus speaking to the three Gryffindor students Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Hope you're not causing trouble, and yes I include you dear husband" [y/n] smiled at the three children in front of her before smirking up at Severus who gave her a slight glance with a raised brow.
"We were just discussing a couple of charms, professor" Hermione covered their tracks when they were really talking about how Severus could be the culprit.
[y/n] couldn't help but raise a brow herself with a smile already hearing the small lie since she knows how young children are when coming to the castle; not to mention Harry has trouble following him anywhere.
"I see, well you best run along you three" she said playing along with their lie before giving them a wink which made them be surprised by how she saw through their little white lie so fast.
They just nodded before heading off to find out how to get past Fluffy on the third floor of the castle; [y/n] couldn't help but chuckle with a warm smile as she walked beside Severus.
"Your still too soft on students, my dear" he spoke as they walked down the corridor passing other students heading to other classes.
"They're just kids, we were once their age during school" she spoke with her warm smile still on her face remembering how school was for them.
"Obviously, but unlike you back then I stayed out of some trouble" he said back to her hissing out the word some making her understand what he was talking about in his past getting in with the wrong crowd.
"Ah but you forget it was I who had to drag you out to hogsmeade for fun" [y/n] paused in her walking to turn to look at him with a smirk knowing how she made him go out and be social once in a while.
"Indeed" was the only word he could say to her when looking back at her with his emotionless look like always.
"Oh, come on, you like me" [y/n] could help but giggle a bit showing her bubbly side when poking his chest, a bit with a grin.
"I must because I married you" he said while they continued to walk down the halls of the school.
She could her the joke behind it even if he was a hard person to get a smile out of but that was what she loved about him and she couldn't help but smile and giggle a bit.
"I wonder what you'll be like with our own child" [y/n] couldn't help but say that out loud when they were now in a two-way hallway facing each other once more.
"A day I will wait for" he said knowing that she has been thinking about the fact that it has been long enough for them both to have children; he was only grateful she agreed to wait for them to be together long enough and to be wiser.
"Indeed, although I think you'll find something interesting next to your cauldron" she agreed, standing on her tippy toes to place a gentle kiss on his cheek before walking down the hall speaking her final words to him.
Severus was confused at first when he started making his way down to his empty classroom; ready to prepare to for the next class for the day, her words left him confused and wondering when walking into the room; glancing over to his cauldron where he brewed potions for the class. The sight of a smaller one sitting next to it caught him off guard when walking up to it, seeing something inside of it he picked it up seeing a piece of paper opening it he saw the words written on it saying.
'Cauldron for future potion apprentice'
That's when it clicked in his head, turning back around he stormed out of his empty classroom to make the walk all the way to [y/n]'s office with the piece of paper still in his hand to speak to her about the new little addition to the family of theirs.
