Severus Snape sat in the middle of the staff table looking down at a new bunch of students or 'dunheads' as he liked to call them.

Each year it seems to be getting worst and Severus was wondering how much more he could take of Hogwarts.

A lot had changed since the end of the war; he was no longer the potions master but the Headmaster of Hogwarts School.

After the end of the war and his named had been cleared he was offered the position as the Headmaster; he was shocked to say the least, he expected Minerva McGonagall to be

Headmistress. He took nearly two weeks to decide if he was going to take the position; he would have to after all fill the boots of the previous professor; Albus Dumbledore, his mentor,

his teacher, his tormenter, his friend and his father figure.

He took the position and after the re-build of Hogwarts took up the position as the first Slytherin Headmaster since Salazar Slytherin. The school re-opened nearly a year after the end of t

the War and Headmaster Snape welcomed the students.

It had been nearly ten years since that moment and he had been the Headmaster for nearly eleven years. He had to admit he missed brewing his potions but he did not miss teaching.

He liked being the headmaster after all he was paid more; much more actually and he had better private rooms however being headmaster came with a price; he was busier than when

he was a teacher.

The sorting was beginning and Severus looked at the new bunch of students; they all looked nervous waiting for their named to be called. Professor McGonagall was stood by the chair

holding up the hat which would decide their fate. This would be her last year doing this as she was retiring from teaching after this year. Severus had practically begged her to stay but

she refused telling him she was too old to teach now which meant Severus would have to find a new teacher to fill that position and he knew it would be a hard post to fill.

Minerva stood holding the list in her hand and read out the first name.

"Kingston Oliver." She said holding the hat up.

A small boy who looked no more than eight walked up to the stall and sat down, Minerva put the hat on top of his curly head and waiting for the decision.

"A half-blood…I think you'll suit." The hat mumbled.

"Hufflepuff." Severus mumbled as the hat announced its choice.

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted and the Hufflepuff table cheered.

After listening to ten more first years get sorted Severus lost interest until Minerva called out the one name that shocked him.

"Granger Toby" she said looking up to see which boy would step forward.

Toby Granger stepped out of the crowd and walked up to the steps. He was tall for his age; taller than his mother had been at that age. He had dark midnight black hair with was curled

on his head and slightly frizzy but controlled unlike his mothers. His face was round like hers he noted but his chin was not. He had a button nose and almond shaped eyes which

reminded him of the boy's mother. The boy looked up at the staff table as he walked to the stall and Severus eyes widened when he saw the colour and intensity of his eyes.

They were black…like his.

Toby sat on the stall and looked out to the Great Hall; everyone was staring at him; he got that a lot with his mother being one of the Golden Trio that killed Voldermort when she was in

school. He was always getting asked questions and asked if they could meet his mother; it got rather annoying if he was honest.

Minerva placed the hat onto his head and looked back slightly at Severus who was sat leant forward looking at the boy.

"This could be very difficult indeed…A Gryffindor mother and A Slytherin Father." The hat said.

So his father was Slytherin Toby thought; his mother would never answer question about his father when he asked.

"You are indeed brave like your mother but you are loyal to those around you. You have a lot of power no surprise there as both your parents fought in the war."

So his father was a war hero?

"I think you should be put in…Slytherin!" The hat shouted

The Slytherins stood up and cheered while the staff looked on as the Granger boy walked to the Slytherin table.

All the staff was shocked to see Hermione Granger's son was in Slytherin and that he also looked very like their Headmaster.

This is my first Severus/ Hermione story so I hope you liked the first chapter! I just had this idea and had to get it down on paper or word! Please review and tell me what you think and what you would like to see happen throughout the story!
