Harry Potter's Real Dad

Harry carefully poured the coffee into a mug and set the pot back down on the coffee maker. He poured in a small amount of cream and a teaspoon of sugar, stirring carefully. He set the mug on a saucer, setting the spoon in the sink, then carried the saucer up the stairs. He pushed Severus's bedroom door open and tiptoed inside, making his way over to the side of the bed and setting the saucer on the nightstand table.

He heard movement and stepped back and waited as Severus slowly sat up in his bed with a stretch and a yawn.

"What are you doing?" Severus asked.

"I made you coffee," Harry answered, smiling up at Severus.

He waited patiently as Severus waved a hand, causing his curtains to slide open so streams of early sunlight came through. Severus picked up the mug and took a small sip, his eyes on Harry. His brows shot up as he swallowed and set the cup back on the saucer.

"I'm impressed," Severus said. "You remembered how I like it."

"I watched you make it yesterday," Harry said while grinning. "Now you don't have to inconvenience yourself and I can make it for you."

"I appreciate you doing so this morning," Severus said, now frowning, "but it's not an inconvenience. Do not feel obligated to do something for me, I do not mind making my own coffee. And what did I tell you about heading down to the kitchen without me?"

"You said I couldn't make breakfast without asking you," Harry said. "I didn't make breakfast. I made coffee."

Severus chuckled.

"You found a loophole. Very well, I'll let it go. Go get dressed for the day and meet me back downstairs."

Harry nodded and shuffled out of Severus's room and back to his own. He didn't know what a loophole was, but he had made Severus happy and that was the important thing. He found a set of clothes laid out for him on his nightstand and changed into those. As he left his room, he ran into Iris, who was wearing a simple dark purple dress and black leggings. She was still holding a brush.

"What's the dress for?" Harry asked.

"To wear," Iris said, twirling in it. "And we're going out today, and I like dressing up to go out."

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know. Out."

Harry wondered if the clothes he was wearing was suitable for "going out." He was in simple blue jeans and a monster truck themed shirt. Then he wondered where on earth they were going out to. He hoped it was somewhere close to home, or even to see Aunt Petunia. It wasn't Wednesday yet, though, so Harry doubted it was where they would be going. He wondered what Aunt Petunia might think of this strange family he had found.

"Come on," Iris encouraged as she led the way down the stairs. "Time for breakfast."

Harry sighed and followed her. There was not much he could do about it now. He didn't know the way back home, and according to his newfound father, Aunt Petunia wasn't even home but in jail—and all because of him. His lower lip trembled slightly, but he was quickly distracted by Iris's cheer.

"My favorite!" Iris exclaimed. She jumped in her seat at the table, set her brush down, and dug into the flaky, steaming round discs covered in a yellow stickiness. "Thank you, Daddy!"

"I don't believe those are the clothes I set out for you last night," Severus said. He crossed his arms and frowned at his daughter.

"But we're going out today." Iris sat back in her seat and gave Severus a sad pout. "I never get to where it. Please? I won't get anything on it. I promise."

Severus tapped his fingers against his arms before unfolding them with a sigh.

"Fine," Severus relented. He picked up the brush and began brushing out Iris's hair while she ate. "Just this once. I would appreciate it if you wore what I set out for you next time. We might be going out, but we could have been going somewhere you might get dirty."

Severus spotted Harry and pointed to the chair next to Iris.

"Come eat, Harry," Severus said. "We have a busy day."

Harry slowly slid into the seat and eyed the fluffy things on his plate.

"What are these?"

"Banana hotcakes," Iris said. "Try it—you'll love it. Put honey on it! And whipped cream!"
