"My daughter is a virgin you realize that right?" Severus drops his cup of steaming hot coffee onto the saucer, the liquid splashing onto his arm.

"Shit!" The involuntary response falls from his lips as Dr. Granger sat perfect still across the room calmly drinking his coffee.

"My daughter is very special to me. Shes my only child, we tried for more, but were only blessed once. And I don't like you." Severus wondered if it was his age, his appearance, his bloodline, a mixture of all or if this would be the reaction to any guy Hermione brought home.

"I realize that Dr. Granger, I will do nothing to harm Hermione. She as well is special to me." The Doctor leans forward to set the cup onto the coffee table.

"Do you get a kick out young girls Severus? Is that some sort of game for you?"

"No." Said through gritted teeth while gripping the fabric of the sofa.

"You are what at least 25 years older than my daughter?"

"I believe it's closer to twenty actually Dr. Granger."

"Same fucking difference if you ask me." Severus could feel the material under him starting to rip and tear apart.

"Mom, make him stop please!" Hermione hisses at her mother as they stood in the kitchen preparing the food for their dinner, the conversation of the next room over filtering in.

"Your father does have a point sweetheart. You are so pretty and smart why him?" Hermione clenches her eyes tight, silently tell herself to stay calm and in control.

"Because I love him mom. I think that should be more than enough reason."

"You could do so much better than him! What about a nice normal young man?"

"And wizards aren't normal mom?"

"You know what I mean Hermione."
