Author's Note: I have had this story in mind for a while now but I finally just finished writing it. I would have posted it sooner but I wanted to make sure that it was finished. As for updates I'm not sure but more then likely twice a week depending on how my daughters are doing. I will stop talking now and get on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

Hermione Granger took one last look in the mirror before she apparated herself to Diagon Alley. She sighed when she saw how busy it was but she was glad that she had changed a lot in the looks department so that people wouldn't recognize her unless they talked to her. She knew that she needed to let Harry and the Weasley's know that she was back but she wasn't ready for the questions that would come just yet. With her wand in her hand tightly she made her way to Gringotts. She kept looking over her shoulder to make sure nobody was following her and it wasn't because she was paranoid. She only kept looking over her shoulder because she knew how males get now that she was a veela. Once she walked through the doors to Gringotts she let out a relieved sigh and made her way to where a goblin stood. "Excuse me but I need to check on a vault, please."

The Goblin looked up and when he saw Hermione his eyes widened and he said "Right this way Miss Granger. I need for you to sign some paperwork and then I will take you to your family vault."

Hermione nodded and followed the Goblin. She looked around and her eyes widened when she saw none other than Severus Snape. Without even thinking about what she was doing as she walked past him she grabbed onto his arm and dragged him with her. She heard him gasp but she ignored it until they were finally in an office with the door shut. She turned towards him and looked at him with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry that I just accosted you like that Professor but I need some help."

Severus' eyebrow raised when he realized just who it was who had grabbed a hold of him. "Miss Granger?"

Hermione smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes, Professor. Like I said before I'm sorry that I accosted you the way I did but I'm going to need your help."

Severus pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at the young woman in front of him. As he took in her appearance he saw some of her old looks in her but he also saw a lot of new looks in her. His breath caught as he realized that she was a veela because that could be the only thing that would explain why he was suddenly feeling protective of a girl he has not seen in five years. He frowned when he realized that he was only feeling protective and not what he should be feeling by being in the presence of an unmarked veela woman. "Miss Granger why am I only feeling protective of you instead of attracted to you? You are a veela are you not?"

Hermione sighed and then nodded. "If you'll come with me Professor I will explain. But first I need to sign something to get into the Gryffindor family vault."

Severus' eyes widened and he said in surprise "How can you get into the Gryffindor family vault Miss Granger?"

Hermione shook her head. "I'll explain everything Professor I swear but for now I need to get in and get out of here as quick as possible."

Severus nodded instead of pushing for the answers he wanted because he knew how stubborn the know-it-all could be. He listened as the Goblin explained things to her and then watched as Hermione signed her name. He then silently followed as the Goblin lead Hermione to the cart that would take her down to the vaults. "Are you sure you want me to come with you Miss Granger?"

Hermione turned her head to look at him and nodded. "Yes, Sir I am. I figure that while we are in the vault I can talk to you without worrying about ears being around."

Severus nodded and then motioned for Hermione to get onto the cart before he sat down next to her. He frowned slightly when he took in the paleness of her skin. "Are you alright Miss Granger?"

Hermione looked over at Severus and gave him a tight smile. "I'm fine Sir but please call me Hermione. I haven't went by Granger in so long that it's weird to hear that last name."

Once again Severus raised an eyebrow but said "I'll call you Hermione if you call me Severus. You are no longer my student as I am no longer your Professor."

Hermione nodded and then let out a sigh as the cart came to a stop at the lowest level and she looked at the Goblin. "Thank you."

The Goblin nodded. "I'll wait out here Ma'am. If you have any questions just ask. Everything that is in the vault belongs to you now."

Hermione nodded and stepped out of the cart with the key she had been given less than a week ago. She took in a breath and let it out as she put the key in and used her wand to get her access to the vault. When it opened her eyes widened as she took in all of the galleons and jewlery as well as other heirlooms. She looked back at her old potions Professor. "Come along Severus."

Severus shook his head and followed the Gryffindor Princess into the vault. As soon as the vault door closed her looked at her. "Okay Hermione can you explain some please?"

Hermione sighed and turned around to look at Severus. "I found out during my seventh year at Hogwarts that I was not who I had always thought I was. If you remember there for a while I was sick during seventh year and you nor Madam Pomfrey could figure out what was wrong with me. I found out a month before we graduated that I was adopted and that the reason I was so sick is because I had veela blood in me. September 19 is not my birthday like I had always thought but at the end of May. My adoptive parents never told me the exact day and I was too out of it during May to figure it out. Since I used the time-turned in my third year I'm actually older than I should be but my veela genes were still going by what my birthday really was. Anyways to shortening this tale after I graduated I noticed that Harry, Ron and some other males kept trying to corner me and I knew it was because of the fact that I was an unmarked veela woman so I decided to leave. Back then I wasn't searching for my mate and nor am I searching for him now. I am still unmarked which is why I wanted to get out of the main part of Gringotts because men still are drawn to me. The reason I am back is because I ran into some Gypsie Witches while in Russia and they can see the future to a degree so I came back. I also came back because a week ago I got five different owls and two of them were from the Ministry. It seems that they have uncovered who I am finally."

At that Severus lifted an eyebrow. "What do you mean finally Hermione? Shouldn't they have had a record of you?"

Hermione snorted and nodded as she began looking through the vault some. "They very well should have Severus but whoever the Minister of Magic was at the time I was born buried it deep and it took Kingsley five years to find out who I am. My father was of the Gryffindor line and my mother was of the Prince line. Which if I'm not mistaken the reason you feel protective of me is because I am actually your niece. My birth mother's name was Serena Prince."

Severus' jaw dropped as he stared at Hermione. "Yes, Hermione that would make you my niece. Serena was my sister."

Hermione nodded. "Yes, I figured that out because one of the other letters I got was from her and one was from my birth father. They explained why they gave me to the Granger's and who I was. My father was a veela and my mother was his mate. There is more that I need to explain but I need to get back to my house because and check on my son and daughter."

At that Severus' eyebrows rose once again and he said "I'm taking it since you haven't found your mate yet that you aren't in a reltaionship. So how do you have a daughter and son?"

Hermione looked down at the floor and sighed. "I wasn't fast enough at one point when I got cornered by a wizard and he disarmed me. That is actually the same day I met Brianna, Brooklyn and Bella. The reason I met them is because they found me after the wizard attacked me and they took care of him."

Severus' face hardened as he listened to what Hermione had to say and he swore. "Dear Merlin. How long ago was this?"

Hermione looked up at Severus and said "A year ago. My daughter and son are just a week shy of being three months old."

Severus' nodded and said "Did you need anything out of here or are you ready to go then? I think I'd like to meet my niece and nephew and possibly take you back to Hogwarts for a couple days. No offense Hermione but you look as if you need sleep and I know that Minerva, Albus and even Remus would be happy to see you."

Hermione chuckled and said "I'll come with you to Hogwarts as long as Bri, Brooke and Bella can come with the kids and me. We haven't been apart since we met one another. Plus they are always helpful in keeping the males away from me. As for if I needed something out of here yes I do and I just found it so I'm ready."

Severus looked over to where Hermione was standing and saw her pocket a couple pieces of jewlery and something she shrunk. "Okay then lets go. I'll make sure to keep males away from you."

Hermione nodded and led the way out of the vault and over to the Goblin. "I'm sorry that we took so long but I had to grab some things."

The Goblin nodded. "Yes Ma'am. An owl will deliver an inventory sheet along with a balance sheet to you so that you will know what all is in your vault. Would you like us to transfer what is in your other vault to this vault Miss Granger?"

Hermione sighed but nodded. "That will be fine. We are ready now."

The Goblin nodded and got into the cart and as soon as Severus and Hermione were seated the car was speeding back to the lobby of Gringotts. When he came to a stop he got off and looked at Hermione. "I'll get that information to you quickly Miss Granger."

Hermione looked at the Goblin and "Thank you once again."

Severus looked around and noticed that several males had just walked in and quickly held his arm out to Hermione even as he looked at the Goblin. "I need a room that has a floo. I will not take a chance with Miss Granger."

The Goblin nodded because he knew just by looking at Hermione that she was a veela. "Follow me Sir and Ma'am."

Severus nodded and followed the Goblin while making sure that Hermione was okay as they quickly walked to a private room. Once at a fireplace he looked at her. "Are we able to floo to your home?"

Hermione nodded. "As long as you floo with me yes we can. I'll set the wards to recognize you so that you can floo on your own anytime you want after this."

Severus nodded and threw some floo powder into the fireplace and then stepped in with Hermione and listened as she called out their destination. His eyes widened slightly when he heard where she called. His eyes widened even more when he stepped out of the fireplace with Hermione.

Hermione chuckled when she saw Severus' face when they stepped out of the fireplace and into the parlor. "Welcome to Gryffindor Castle, Severus."
