*~*~So we meet again! I loved all the reviews the first part brought and have gotten some requests for a sequel…well, here it is! Hope you read and enjoy!*~*~

Recap: Hermione finds out that Severus Snape is her uncle…Ron Weasley 'kills' Voldermort..oops sorry, for those more sensitive, he who must not be named…Harry is there to be the hero he is and adds more to the story…lol. Now I present to you, the awaited first chapter of Family Reunions II: Returns. *smiles and bows as the crowd goes wild*

*******

First semester passed fairly quickly. The relationship between Snape and Hermione didn't change that much. Sure they talked more, but nothing more than that. In other words, when one saw another while walking through the halls, the usual scowl and glare was passed between the two, while during free time, Hermione would usually be found, helping Snape scout out another ingredient for a new potion he was making, or asking for help on a confusing mix for a certain potion. Hermione still lived with her 'parents,' but didn't talk as much as she used to with them as she used to. Over the summer she spent a week with her uncle, but that didn't go over too well. Hermione was always found, walking out of the house at seven am to go to the library and returning home just in time for reading one chapter in Hogwarts, A History before turning the lights out and going to sleep. Snape was always in his lab at his house or at Hogwarts, in his beloved dungeon office, making lesson plans for the next year and such.

It was Christmas day when things started having action. Harry and Hermione both pitched in and got Ron a new wand for his Christmas gift. One that was sure to work.

"Thanks guys!" Ron exclaimed after opening a long, wooden, thin box with the name Ollivanders carved into the top. Hermione and Harry exchanged happy looks and looked back at Ron.

"You're very welcome." Ron smiled and held his wand like a kid with an ice cream cone.

*******

Everything was going fine until one day in Charms. Professor Flitwick had instructed everyone to pull out their wands and grab a partner to practice their Canary Transfiguration Hex. Hermione and Ron chose to be together, while Harry and Neville were placed together.

"You can go first Neville, if you want." Harry offered. Neville gulped, unsure if he wanted to go first but finally came to the conclusion, now or never.

"A-alright." With a shaky wand hand, he raised his wand and did a swish and flick movement, closing his eyes and saying the spell at the same time.

"A-alis A-a-alitis…um…Transformis!" There was a bright flash, but no big canary bird. Instead there sat a Harry covered in feathers. Neville winced as he saw his results and crawled under the table. Hermione hid a laugh and stepped behind Ron. Ron was proud.

"It's alright Harry. Let me take care of this, try out my new wand." Harry nodded quickly and got ready for Ron to take the spell off. Ron put his wand up, flashing a quick smile and said the spell.

"Infinate Incantium" A bright silver and green flash erupted from the wand and threw Ron backwards. Hermione's eyes flew open and landed by his side, Harry, still covered in feathers ran over as well.

"Ron? Ron, are you alright?"

There was no answer. No matter how much they prodded and poked Ron, he didn't open his eyes.

"Well Potter. Seems like we can now call you 'bird brain' and you can live up to it." There was laughter from three boys near the back of the crowd that congregated around Ron. Harry didn't have to look back to see who it was.

"Shut up Malfoy."

"In your dreams." Harry stood up and faced Draco and his two goons. Everyone stepped out of the way of the two. Draco stood there, smirking at Harry's position.

"It's alright Potter. We all understand that Weasley will still love you, feathers and all." Harry advanced on Draco.

"I've had enough Malfoy." He quickly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Draco's throat.

"Hey, watch it. It would be much easier if you just came out, Potter."

Hermione stood up behind Harry and whispered into his ear.

"Not here, Harry…please don't"

"Stay out of this Hermione." Harry said sharply. Hermione's eyes widened and she took a step back.

"See even the mud-blood agrees."
Harry spoke the first hex that came to his mind.

"Abundonis!" The class watched in horror as thick black hair started growing all over Draco.

"That's enough!" Professor Flitwick yelled. His small body pushed through the kids that were now laughing and pointing at Draco.

"Everyone is dismissed, except for you two. Ms. Granger, if you would so kindly show Mr. Weasley to the hospital wing." Hermione nodded and quickly floated Ron to take him to the infirmary. Harry and Draco glared at each other and stayed behind as the class emptied.

"Boy's…come here."

Draco and Harry, still glaring at each other made their way up to Professor Flitwick's desk.

"Ten points will be taken from both of your houses for your behavior. I'm very shocked at you two, entering your sixth year and you STILL haven't made amends." Both boy's drew their attention to their short professor and hung their heads. Flitwick sighed heavily and drew his wand out, undoing both of their charms.

"I don't want to see anymore of these ridiculous breakouts in my classroom, do you understand?" The boys nodded.

"Very well. You are dismissed."

The boys left, silently. As soon as they closed the charms door behind them Draco turned sharply on Harry.

"Just be lucky Flitwick was there to stop me." Harry glared at Draco before turning his back and leaving quickly to go join Hermione and Ron in the infirmary.
