"Knock yourself out." She picked up the magazine and started reading, Albus, Minerva, James and Sirius reading over her shoulder. Adrian, Ron and Hermione just looked at each other stunned and Severus cut Remus some chocolate cake. "I figured you might need that." The werewolf just nodded and smiled.
"You live in a castle?" Sirius asked loudly, startling everyone in the room. Severus blinked once.
"I suppose you mean me?" He asked smirking. "Yes, I do. It's called Silbreith and it's a little further up in the north from Hogwarts." Déjà-vu much? The potions master asked himself.
"You should see the snow up there during Christmas." Harry said absentmindedly. "It's really something."
"And did Harry really help with the Wolfsbane?" James asked.
"He won't admit it, but he helped me through a great part of the process." Severus answered truthfully.
"Well, you tested all the broomsticks I made, even the one where I had forgotten the cushioning charm…" Harry countered, chuckling as the potions master winced at the memory.
"I did get to test drive the Firebolt though." Severus offered and Harry nodded.
"And you competed in a jousting tournament?" Lily asked dumbfounded.
"We won a jousting tournament." Severus clarified.
"And those memory spheres…" Albus asked impressed. "Were they really a joined project?"
"Sev came up with the idea. I just did a bit of designing." Harry explained.
"Yeah, a bit." Severus said sarcastically. "What he means is that he designed the whole thing."
"Speaking of designing." Harry stated smirking. "Rosie!" He called and the small house elf appeared with a loud crack.
"Yes, master Harry?"
"Could you please bring me the parchments from my desk and the broomstick from my bedroom?" The elf bowed deeply and disappeared, making her second entrance a few seconds later with the requested objects. "Thank you, Rosie. Oh, the cake is amazing by the way." The house elf bowed smiling widely and left the room.
"What is that?" Ron asked, looking at the broomstick mesmerised; it looked a lot like the Firebolt, if one excepted some minor details in the shape and colouring.
"You finished it." Severus commented with a proud smile.
"I did." He turned to the whole room, smirking mischievously. "I give you the Firebolt, Seeker's Edition. It can go from nought to one hundred and eighty miles per hour in ten seconds, has improved handling, is lighter and specifically designed for manoeuvring and yes, I made a Seeker's edition because I'm biased and I really wanted one." His speech was followed by a stunned silence.
"I'm test driving that, just so you know." Severus stated, watching Harry twirl the broom in his hands.
"Of course." The teen assured him.
"You designed that?" Adrian asked walking closer to his brother, looking at the broomstick in awe.
"I did." Harry said. "Here." He handed his brother the broomstick. Adrian caught it and then tried to place it on the ground. "No need for that." Harry stopped him. "Just let it drop; it hovers on riding height." Adrian did just that and the broomstick stopped at three feet from the ground.
"Wow!" Sirius breathed.
"Told you so." Harry stated with a smile.
"So you're keeping this one?" James asked, not quite believing the conversation he was having with his youngest son. At the moment all he felt was stunned numbness.
"I always keep the prototype. But I won't be flying that; I'll only use it for the test drive and then probably fly one of the line. They'll be put into production this September." Harry explained.
"Wicked!" Ron stated excitedly.
"I like to think so." Harry chuckled.
"There's one thing missing right now." Severus stated.
"What?"
"Your birthday present." Harry smiled expectantly. Lily just looked at her son in shock.
"Happy birthday, Harry." She wished and hugged her son. "With everything you two dropped on us, I almost forgot what day it was."
"Happy birthday, genius!" Sirius exclaimed, mirroring Lily's example. "I don't know how you did it. But this is amazing." Harry just smiled and looked at Severus as the whole room wished him a -generally confused- happy birthday.
"You said something about a gift?" He asked the potions master.
"Alfie!" Severus called and the small house elf appeared next to him. Harry looked between the two of them confused.
"Is everything ready?" The potions master asked, completely aware that the whole room was focused on what was happening. The elf nodded.
"Yes, master Severus."
"Very well, Alfie. You may return home; I'll call you when we need your help." The elf smiled and bowed.
"What was that? Why was Alfie here?" Harry asked intrigued.
"Your house elf?" Albus asked.
"One of them." Severus answered. "He's in charge of my stables, if you want to be specific." He elaborated before turning his attention to James. "I hope you don't mind me borrowing your stables for a few hours?" James just looked at him unable to form an answer as Harry gasped.
"Sev, what did you get me?" He asked, green eyes open wide.
"Why don't you go and see?" Severus offered, serving himself some tea. Harry smiled and took off running leaving a chuckling potions master in his wake. "I think we should go and meet Harry in the stables; he might spend the day there if we leave him on his own." And he rose to do just that.
"What did you get him?" Lily asked, looking at her old friend intently. "You surely did not get him a horse?" James and Sirius shared a shocked look at the absurdity of it all; who would spend all that money to buy a teenage boy a horse?
"No, of course not." Severus stated, calmly taking another sip from his tea. Lily nodded while Sirius and James sighed in relief. "Why would I buy him another horse? I got him one for his tenth birthday."
"You what?" James exclaimed, staring at the man he had thought hated his family with a passion.
"Yes, I got him Ares four years ago to the day." The three teenagers in the room shared a stunned look with their transfiguration teacher. "No, this time I got him something a little different." And he started walking calmly out of the room; once he realised nobody was following him, he smirked and turned to look at them over his shoulder. "You can come see, if you want." And he left the room, smiling brightly all the way.
