Just as any other normal day, Snape and Hermione went about their day. They had been Married for 15 years now and had two children and one on the way. Two lovely girls one named lucy and the other Victoria, the oldest . Lucy , otherwise called Luce age 5 had all the features of of her mother Hermione and her unworldly curly hair but had her father's jet black soft to the touch color. She even had Snape's unmistakable Temper and black eyes. The oldest daughter Victoria ,but everyone calls her "V", age 17 going on 25 looked like a very tough Hermione having only her mother's hair color but with the looks of red streaks in it and Snape's straight looking thin hair, she had the intelligence of both her parents excelling in every subject. Victoria is at Hogwarts starting her 7th year but basically in her 8th flying through everything and starting early into the next year . She is on her Christmas break but asked her parents to let her stay with some hogwarts for a few weeks. Her mother agreed immediately to this but of course the other parent did not quite yet, but with a little persuading on telling how important friends are, of course coming from a member of the Golden trio. So Victoria got her wish with a price. 'Of course everything comes with a price' She price in which was yet to be discussed.
The following evening Snape, Hermione, and of course lucy were on their normal routine of going to the markets for weekly was snowing really slowing just starting the first snowfall of the winter. Son Snape and lucy went off to the bookstore where it is warmer and Hermione to the grocer's. She gathered all the things she needed but at the corner of her eye she sees a black silhouette putting food into its pockets of a large overcoat far to big for the person with a hoodie covering its head and face . She discreetly followed the person after paying for her things, curious as to what else this person was up to . And she was luckily enough that the person was still stalking about the grocer's then suddenly stopping as if it felt Hermione watching and following , and calming walking out of the store. She when goes to follow the person some more, walking outside the store only to find the person vanished from her sight.
"Well that was strange" she said standing at the sidewalk. Looking about.
"What was"? Asked Snape with an up raised eyebrow. holding a very asleep lucy resting on his shoulder.
"You didn't see someone come out of the store"
"No, why Hermione"
"It's just ...I...um"
"Well, spit it out"
"I seen someone shoplift"
"What, did you tell the clerk"
"No...well it was strange it wasn't sealing alcohol, cigarettes, pills or anything like that it was just, can food and I think a can opener"
"A can opener you say well that's very strange" Snape said sarcastically
"Don't act Like that maybe the person is homeless and needs a place to stay"
"No Absolutely Not, we still have that infernal cat that doesn't want to leave no matter how many times I kick it out"
"That's not what I was suggesting but If it comes to that it wouldn't hurt to help It"
" The answer is No and stop referring to him as "It"
"Sorry I just don't what to offend anyone. But if you think that he's a him then so be it"
"That's not what I was saying but fine I it makes you feel better than alright. Can we go home now It's getting cold luce is shivering"
"Okay let's go" Hope he's warm She thought.
The following day exactly at 6:00am Hermione got ready to go out the door.
"And where are you going" Snape asked all knowing.
"Out"
"Just Out?"
"Yes just Out"
"To find that boy Then"
"Perhaps"
"Hermione I sincerely Disapprove"
"And I'm Sorry that you do"
"Are you, now. Herm.." Hermione interrupted him
"Severus I need to do this please. Just Trust me"
"You know I do, with all my heart ,but what If something bad happens and he's not A boy but a man and..."
"Stop, Nothing is going to happen and if anything does I will call you and you can call me as well, to check up on me"
"Just the only thing I ask take someone with you, Potter maybe. Just someone So I'm not as worried"
"Alright I'll call Ginny to go with me"
"Thank you"
They gave a small kiss goodbye and Hermione went down the street to Harry and Ginny's House. Harry and Ginny Had two boys, Albus and Sirius. Hermione knocked on the door and heard a lot of noise and laughter.
"Just a minute!" Harry came running to the door chased by to boys hugging at their fathers feet trying to stop him
"OH Hi Hermione How've you been" said Harry a still very good friend of hers of course.
"Just fine and yourself eves? oh and Is Ginny home "
"You know Holden up. Ginny Hermione's here!"
"Thank God how's it been Hermione" Ginny said thankful to get away from the Boy's of terror as she likes to call them including Harry
"Fine. You want to go to the markets with me"
"Sure. but not that I don't want to go. But Why?"
"I'll explain on the way. Bye Harry nice talking to you again" as she practically pulling Ginny out the house
"See you later Mione" Harry called out about to chase his boys down the hall
Hermione and Ginny made there way to the grocers. Were she last saw "him".
"So Hermione what's this all about"
Hermione explained the story to her…
"That's awful and you want to Find this man"
"Yes, of course what if he's homeless"
"What if here Is a reason why he's homeless'"
"Come off that Ginny what If he needs help, just please help me look for him"
"Wait Severus, is letting you do this"
"Believe me It wasn't easy"
"Fine but if anything happens I hexing him"
"if it comes down to that " 'But I really doubt he's dangerous' Hermione thought to herself
"Alright let's start looking then"
After one Hour and a half of looking everywhere The two of them could think of.
"Were never going to find..." Ginny began to say
"Look, there he is. Going into that Bar"
" Well he certainly has money Then let's go home"
"maybe not" Hermione and Ginny follow him inside the bar.
"what is he doing". Ginny asked talking a seat.
"Having a drink i suppose"
The man, sits at the counter and orders a drink. He then downs the tall glass. Then starts to walk away from the bartender.
"Hey Bub yous didn't pay fo dat wheres do you think yous goin"
The man just turns to him and put up the hood just enough so his face was visible only to him . Then walks away without a word putting his hood back down to cover his face once more. The bartender was as white as the snow starting to form just outside.
" Did you see that, did he just hex him or something"
"No I don't think so he just scared him"
"Maybe we shouldn't follow him"
"Well don't back down now. Come on, he's getting away" Hermione said her gryffindor side always showing at times like this
'I don't like this' Ginny thought to herself.
"Hey you ...Mister" Hermione said at the same time with Ginny which to her sounded very childish they both thought. But he didn't slow down
"Please we just want to have a talk with you" Hermione said alone
He a immediately stopped at the word "please" He never heard it spoken like that before
"Why Have you been Following Me" He said with a strange all most cheerful tone
"I...um.. Seen you at the grocers stealing food the other evening"
"oh that's what this Is about, well I am terribly sorry for taking the last can of Spam But I do believe I stole it fair and.."
"Wait What, No I was wondering If you had a decent place to live and if you needed I could help you. I Must tell you to please follow us If only for the night to get out of the cold. My name is Hermione and this is my friend Ginny and Your name, please?"
"That's Very kind of you ma'am but I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request." The man was puzzled 'why would these women want me to go with them. Maybe they want a good Fuck. Yea that's it. okay then let's go.'
"What?" Ginny asked
"Means no" the stranger and Hermione said in unison
The man just laughed in response.
"Exactly" Hermione then gave the man a warning look. "alright then You can call me ...J." He said
"Very well "J" well you take me up on my offer"
"Yes , i can take up up as high as you want to go all night if you wish" J said a bit low
"What was that" asked Hermione
" Oh sorry madam It will be very much appreciated" perhaps she is to prober for that kind of talk, whatever' J thought
"It's no problem at all besides it's very cold out here I can't have you Freeze now could I"
'Actually you could. But why wont you?' thought entire time he didn't say a word to her or Ginny but an occasionally mumbling something she nor Ginny could make out.
They dropped Ginny off at her house and then headed to Hermione and Snapes. 'Well down one guess no threesome'.
"Well, here we are. Just mind my Husband he's not to kind to people he doesn't know"
"Husband?!" J said with shock in his voice. 'Now it's getting scary , im not that kind of guy''. Hermione opened the door to an awaiting Snape that was about to leave out the door. He embraced Hermione immediately.
"Hermione I was worried It was starting to get late and snowing more and... Who this?" Snape said rather angry.
"This is 'J' He's the guy from the store"
"What Kind of a name Is 'J'"
"Severus, Be Nice He needs a place to spend the night"
"Excuse us a moment" Snape said as he slammed the door.
After 15 minutes of arguing and compromising.
"Fine you can Spend the night" Snape said very unpleased. Opening the door
"Thank you very kindly sir and Mrs. Hermione" J Said first looking at Snape then and Hermione.
"That's Mr. and Miss Snape to You boy" Severus said rather low to not be hit by his wife
J nodded as he heard every word and went into the warm house from the cold outdoors. As he walked inside he removed his hood to reveal his face and head. J had black hair but not jet black as Snape's no not as dark, his hair was long and put back. But a face that resembled a younger healthier version of Snape without his rather large nose. J also had scar going down his left eye stopping at the corner of his mouth. His eyes light brown but darker than Hermione's, much darker. He's left slightly discolored as if seen in different light or little to no light, they would look red almost. Hermione also noticed that he wasn't much taller than herself. Shocking how she barely noticed but then again, only noticed because of Snape Standing Next to her which he towered over most people. He wore a long overcoat but not as big as the one he wore to steal from the grocer's. It was black and in the now lit room the overcoat look as if it was stitched together with 20 different leather jackets. He had on a gray sweatshirt, black slacks and another light jacket beneath.
"Do I know you" 'He seems very familiar like I've seen him before perhaps have known him' Snape thought.
"I appreciate your kindness for letting me stay at your home But I don't believe you Do." 'Of course you do, you twat hahaa well sort of, I forget sometimes but you look almost the same as before serverus'
" Your very welcome J please make yourself at home. Here let me show you to the room you well stay in" Hermione said very Happily
" You didn't say he would be staying IN Victoria's room she's going to be furious" Snape said all most snickering. Snape has witnessed her temper much like Hermione and his.
"Relax Severus She's Not coming home for couple more weeks By then we will find a more suitable place for J besides her room is empty and the couch is uncomfortable to lay on"
"Wait, Who says he stays for more than one night"
"Severus Please go to sleep"
"Fine' he yawned " I don't see why we have to do a thing for him" Snape said yawning down the hall to their room.
"Don't mind him He needs to sleep, we'll talk about this Tomorrow in the morning"
"He is right You don't have to help me"' Man guess that means no sex':to bad i was kinda looking forward to it
"Here's a fresh towel and some shorts to wear. I take it that you don't have any other clothes to wear...thought not. The shower is this door to the left feel free to use the soap and other things in the restroom. If you need anything we are just down the hall."
"Thank you Miss Snape" I Know better than to mess with Severus wife, I remember how protective he was of Lilly
"You are very much welcome J and Please call me Hermione. You can put your clothes in the basket in there" Then she walked out of the room down the hall. "Goodnight J" She called out.
"Night" He called back.a little confused a bit , 'weird, i never had anyone tell me goodnight before nor did I have anyone i could have said it back to, oh well this bed is so fucking comfortable way better than anything i've ever slept on, Hahaha'
J then got in the shower gods knows how bad he needed that. After, returning to the (what he assumed to bed little girl's) room and fell right to sleep. In the shorts and a long sleeved shirt he had on under his other shirt. Unbeknownst to him or anyone else in the house that, that "Little Girl" is coming home early that very night. To her nice and cozy warm Wait, why warm and Bumpy bed.
