feb 15, 1996 - Severus Returns to Spinner's End

Description:

Snape discovers that Hyacinth has fled, leaving him stuck with the baby. He does't blame her, but he is irritated at his situation. While talking to Narcissa, he admits that he intends to give Asphodel away. She argues with him, eventually convincing him that he needs to keep the child. She then helps him, first by insisting he needed to name the boy. Severus is uncomfortable, and isn't sure what to call him until he decides to name him after Lily. Narcissa then proceeds to teach him how to hold the baby, how to feed him, how to bathe and change him. Narcissa also teaches him several monitoring spells, some protective charms, and some emergency procedures. By the end of it, Severus is overwhelmed.
