Harry watched him go and wondered if Minerva would be willing to get Lucinda in sooner. Lucinda Baine had been the Defence teacher before Harry, she had mentored him through his mastery and learning to teach. She had agreed to return to the position while Harry took leave to be with Severus around the birth of their babies. The current plan was for Harry to take leave from March 31st, Severus was due on April 9th. Harry would stay with Severus until school resumed after the summer break. However, Harry thought maybe his husband might need him to be there before the babies were due. Severus would never ask, so Harry would have to think about it and maybe plant the seed.
