15 year earlier

The plane was about to take off when a family of three run up to the boarding gate the man looked around worriedly for something out of place. When he didn't find anything he handed the woman his child.

"Lorna, you have to take care of her. I am sorry things are the way that they are but it is all for a good reason. I love you but there is just too much going on right now and you and Sidda could get hurt. I need you to protect her with your life you have no idea what she means to me… and to the world."

"I will, I will, we are going to stay at my parents house and it's not like you won't come and see us. You will come and see us right?"

"Of course I will."

"We have to go now or the plane will leave without us. See you soon my love. Oh and Severus I love you to."

Lorna took the child and quickly boarded the plane. Severus stood at the windows and watched as the plane carrying his best friend and daughter to a place were the war wouldn't reach them. As he turned to leave the mark on his arm burned.

"Let the war begin," he said to himself as he made his way out of the airport.

Present day

"Mione, where are my shoes? I wore them last night and now they are gone."

"Gin did you look under the pants you wore last night?"

"No, why would I look in the dirty cloths?" Hermione walked over to the pants and picked them up to revile Ginnys trainers.

"Not a word" Ginny grumbled as she put them on a proceeded to pack the rest of her things.

Hermione had never unpacked her things from the night before when she arrived at The Burrow so she helped Gin pack her things. They were all going to leave to go to the number 12 because The Order felt it best for them to stay close by due to the many emergence meetings.

"What happened last night? I mean I left you and Ron for a tic and you come storming in here crying. What did he say do I finally get to kill him? Lord knows I have waited for 17 years to do that.

Hermione did not look up from folding Ginnys cloths. She did not even flinch in response. She just calmly explained what was said.

"All he said was that I was a whore for not going out with him because apparently I lead him on. Also I should have taken him up on his offer because I am to damn ugly and bossy to get anybody else. I was also informed that now that we are out of school and the main bad guy is dead he and Harry don't need me anymore. I was just the ugly know-it-all with no real talent but research and no real friends that got in the way of their fun so I just needed to stay away form him."

She stood there for a moment than turned to look at Ginny who was silently thinking of ways to kill off one of the Weasley brood.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing I ran off before I could think of anything but don't worry he doesn't know me half as well as he thinks he does. And if Harry feels the same than fine. We will see who is laughing their "ugly" face off in the end."

Hermione and Ginny finished packing and headed down the stairs to the fireplace. Ginny saw Ron standing by the table, hit him in the back of the head with hear makeup bag, and walked off with nothing more than an oops.

When they arrived at Number 12 everything was in complete chaos. That summer Hermione had discovered a way to bring Sirius back from The Vail and did it all single handedly. She even got his name cleared of all charges. So needless to say the house was overly crowded due to people coming and going with Sirius.

By the time everybody calmed down and got settled in it was time for the first order meeting since Voldamort had been killed to start. Everybody went to their seats but Hermione move so she was not anywhere near Harry or Ron and Ginny gave them both her "you will pay" glare. The last two to show up were Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy.

Draco sat in the back so as not to get hexed from behind again by the male Weasleys and Snape took his place at the front table next to Dumbledores seat that nobody was allowed to sit in. The meeting went quite smoothly with your basic we must find the death eaters theme. At the very end an owl flow in the window and landed on Snapes shoulder. He took the letter and quickly read it. For the first time since any of them had known him Snape let a tear fall down his face. He turned to look at McGonagall and said the one word that made her Remus and Sirius all stand and help him out of the room.

"Lorna,"

After Snape had been taken to a spare room the remainder of the party met in the library to discuses what just happened. Hermione had gone very still and quiet and would not let anybody touch he. After a brief moment of silence Ron looked up at Remus and asked what was going on. As Remus was about to explain Snape walked into the room showing more emotion than any had ever seen. Hermione couldn't take it anymore and ran over to him grabbing his hand screaming at him,

"She is ok! She has to be! Tell me she is ok! Please?"

as she said the last word she crumpled to the floor holding on to her ex professors leg and arm pulling him down with her. Snape grabbed her and whispered in her ear,

"She will be here any moment clean yourself up she will probably want to explain everything herself, ok?"

Before anybody could ask what was going on and why is Hermione talking to Snape like she knows him best there was a knock on the door. Both Severus and Hermione tore off to the front door and nearly ripped it off its hinges trying to open it. By the time they got all the wards down the rest of the group had joined them in the entree way to see what was going on. The door slammed open and in walked this 5 ft 5 in beauty with strait black hair and shining black eyes. She was wearing black slacks and coat that tied around the waist. She stood there for a moment and surveyed the people looking back at her before her eyes landed an the two standing closest.

"OH…MY…GOD Gray matter what are you doing here and with my dad funny the last time I saw you two this close I thought somebody was going to walk away bleeding. Oh wait they did if I recall didn't you bloody my dads nose for calling you a beaver?"

Hermione stood there in shock as the girl spoke to her in a heavy American accent.

"This is like magic. Watch this. Hermione did you know Dray has a thing for you and I mean big thing if you catch my drift last time I checked he was hung like a …"

A hand shot through the air as Draco talked the unsuspecting girl to the ground.

"What the Hell are you doing Sidda? Sorry sir your daughter and I need to have a very strongly worded chat."

"Dray I didn't know you were here this is great it's like a little reunion."

Than out of the blue Hermione comes barreling in to the girl shouting at a decibel only teenage girls can hear.

"Silly what are you doing here? Your dad just got a letter and all he said was your moms name than he cried…yeah I know he really cried but just a little, so I thought something bed happened to you so I cried and we had this cry fest than he said you were coming and than you knocked on the door and know you're here this great do you want to go out tonight? I am sure Dray won't mind chaperoning will you doll?"

at this Snape finally found his voice.

"No not right now I think we all need to go have a seat and introduce ourselves."

"Ok but after that Gray and I are going out… Dray can come to."
