Chaptre2

Severus was having a quiet breakfast, the brats had left hogwarts the day before, and he could now enjoy the peaceful atmospher of the school. What pleased him more was that the madman he had served many years ago was truly dead. All he needed now was to be free of the bane of his existance, black and potter, but he was relieved that it was the summer holiday, and he didn't have to support the presence of the brat, and he was almost certain that potter wouldn't made his class for next year. He knew that the 'hero' couldn't have made it this far without granger help, and that made him twice harder on her, because he saw her help to her friend as a weakness, but he knew that she was talented and intelligent, and he tried to challenge her to keep her motivated.

He was deep down in his toughts that he almost missed the owl that landed in front him, but the impatient hoot made him aware of the situation, and he quickly took the letter from the angry owl. As he red the letter he got worried and angry,He was aware of the curious stares he got from his collegues but he didn't care at the moment, it couldn't be true, he'd have to make sure. Having made his mind he quickly left the great hall, and headed to the grounds, he apparate from there to the leaky coldron, and asked tom immediately for the girl. He was directed to a room upstairs.

He was surprised at the site that greated him, gone was the child full of life, he had a weeping girl in front him, and he didn't know what to do, but he wanted confirmation, so he cleared his throat, to make her aware of his presence. She immediately lunched at him and he hugged her to confort her before he asked

'what happened ? your letter was very brief'

'mum is dead, the centre killed her yeasterday. They had found about us, she was wounded, but she fought them to give me time to escape '

He had known she was his daughter four years and half ago, in the chrismats holiday of her first year, he had received a letter requesting his presence at the leaky coldron. The matter had been intriguing and tough he hated to admit it he had been curious to know this mysterious person, so he had gone to the meeting. What he had found had greatly surprised him. He of course had remembered amanda russell. She had been his lover, twelve years ago. He had met her in the bar at spinner 's end, the night of lily's wedding. She was at the time a waitress in the bar and he had gone there to forget about his love for the muggleborn witch. He didn't remember how he had fifnish with the pretty muggle in her flat, but she had helped him greatly during that time, and she became his confident, before she became his lover. She didn't asked for his love, and she didn't try to change him, so he had been very confortable with her, but she had left him four monthes afterthey became lovers, he had gone to her flat to find it in great disorder, and he didn't heared anything from her after that. He at first had suspected his collegues to have attacked her, but there wasn't a sign of magical attack in her flat. He had forget about the matter some time after that, but he always had cheriched the time spend together.

What he found had surprised him, he had a daughter who was a very talented witch. He also found out that she was in danger from some muggle organisation because of some talent they have. He vowed to protect them and always be their for his daughter, so from that moment, he began to built a relationship with his daughter and her mother. He had been surprised to find himeself falling in love with amanda, and they had married in the summer holiday after the second year of his daughter. To his great joy, his wife had told him she was pregnant again, and they had twins, the next year, speaking of

' where are your brothers ?'

' they are sleeping in the next room, mum had hidden them, and she left me instructions, to find them, after I escaped the train station, I had gone to retrieve them, befor hidding here'

' let's gather your belonging, we are going to the cottage'

His wife had made sure, they had a magical home in hogsmade, to hide in if the family were found. He had at that moment laughed at her paranoia, but now he was thankful, she had done it. He didn't know what he would do without her with him, but he had his children to think of.

So they left the leacky coldron, via floo, to their home. He was amused at the stares he felt from the clients in the pub, but soon he began to feel his anger building, they were ogling his daughter, and he fought the urge to give them a piece of his mind, but he didn't want to frighten his children. he remembered then when he had found about the disguise she wore at hogwarts, and he had been surprised to see the real hermione for the first time, she had a lovely long black hair that was very strait, and her eyes were blue indigo, that sometimes change to violet. But he had been thankful for her disguise after her fourth year when he had seen the looks she was getting from the boys. He shuddered to think what their reaction to the real her would be.

After making sure his children were setling in their new home, he had gone to the granger house first to retrieve their affairs. He had gone disillusioned to avoid attack or suspicion, and he was relieved to find two muggles there, time for answers and retribution.

After a quick legilimancy attack, he found that his wife body was stil in the muggle mortuary, so he headed there to retrieve her body. He would buried her in hogsmed.

Severus had gone back the first night to hogwart to take a week leave, because of family problems. Nobody at the wizarding world knew about his family, and he wasn't about to change that, because he knew the reaction and the dangers they would face. tought the dark lord was dead, he had many followers, and some of the so called light would like to make his children life hell just to get him back, and it was always a matter of discord between him and his daughter, his reaction to her friends, and specially potter, and he knew she had been very angry at him this year because of the occulomancy lessons, but he didn't like them using her like that. He hoped that this year they wouldn't be disturbed by the weasleys or potter, he for once wanted a quiet holiday with his children.

The next few days were hectic for the snape family, they had buried amanda three days after the attack, and tough the twins were very young they had sensed the mood of their father and big sister, and they were searching for there mother. They had been very upset that she wasn't coming back, and it had taken severus and hermione several hours to calm them.

Hermione behavior was what had severus concern, she was numb. Like she wasn't there, he knew she tended to bottle her emotions and didn't cope with them well, but he wanted to help her, he wanted her to grief, to began healing. So leaving his twins in there beds, he searched for his daughter. H e found her in the librairy.

'hey, how are you now ?'

'I'm fine dad'

' I know that you're not, please hermione, I'm not the most sensible persone,she rolled her eyes at that, but I know you need help, if you want I can ask minerva or poppy, but please talk to someone, don't bootle your emotions, it's alright to cry'

'I didn't do anything to help her dad, I left her there' she told him criying, and he hugged her to confort her.

' you couldn't do a thing to help her, from what you told me she was wounded at the station, and she had little time left, and she wouldn't want you to be captured. She wanted you safe, to protect your brothers alexander and zachary so don't feel guilty, you had done all you could for her, and you're going to be there for you brothers for her'

They had a long conversation, and finally he was relieved, she was finally grieving, and in the path of healing. He knew she must have felt guilt, but he knew that her rational mind was going to make her see the truth soon.

He spend a week with his family,and was surprised to see an owl from the school. He was confused to find a summon from the headmaster, and after making sure his children were alright, he left for the school.

He made his way to the headmaster office, and was surprised to find minerva their, after greating them, he waited for the aged wizard to began

'goodmorning severus, I 'm glad you're here. We have a situation that must be adressed and I know that you' re the only one able to help'

' what do you want albus ?'

' harry location had been discovered, and we need to relocate him to grimauld place soon. I want you to escort him, and to make sure he isn't attacked'

Severus was beyond angry, why did it have to be him. There were others who could do it but the old coat insisted that he escorted the brat from his relatives house.

He had sensed the gentle prob from the headmaster when he had told him that he was busy, but he didn't show anything related to his family. He knew that all albus wanted was to know the reason for his leave, but he wouldn't indulge the old man curiosity.

So he left hogwarts to privet drive, to be done quickely with this unwanted duty.

He had been surprised to find the weasleys at the headquarters waiting for the golden boy, and he had heared some comments about the attack of the train station, but he was relieved that nobody had connected hermione and the attack, they tought it was an usual robery.

The time passed quickly, and soon it was the time for the preparation for the next school year, severus had been pleasantly surprised by his daughter request to leave hogwarts, and to head to another school. They had discussed it greatly and soon seatled for the merlin institut of magic, it had an excellant reputation, and it was in London. It was also a boarding school, so he wouldn't be afraid of his daughter safety.

What pleased him more was the lack of correspondance between his daughter and her so called friends. She had send a present on the brat who lived birthday, but he knew that it was just to keep apparance. Hermione confirmed that her father opinions had been true, and that she wouldn't be fooled again.

He had taken her for the testing in the institut, and was pleased by her performance. He knew that she kept up with her muggle education, but was relieved that she didn't fall from her standard in her wizard one.

The institut had its ownexam system, so Hermione had to redo all of her OWLS. She wasn't at all anxious, because she was confident in her abilities. Her father had always marveled at her performance in hogwart, because she had fooled everybody. They tought she has very little confidence in her answers, but the truth is she didn't wanted anybody to find her secrets.

Severus and hermione had spend that day shopping for her school supplies, they had gone early in august to avoid runing in anyone they knew, and they had gone to the nimue place insted of diagon alley.

Severus had given her an owl, so they can keep a correspondance. And they spend the last few days relaxing in their home, and playing with the twins who had just celebrated their second birthday.

Soon was the time to hermione departur, and tough she was sad to leave her family, she knew that she had to make her parents proud. She knew her father was going totake the twins to hogwarts, so she wasn't anxious about them.

She knew she didn't wanted a repeat of her life at hogwarts so she resolved to be herself in her new scool.

Severus was very proud of his daughter, he had taken her her new school, and he had seen in her attitude that she was coping with the last events, they had made their goodbyes, and he left her , before heading to hogwarts. He had one last week of calm before the brats return, and he wanted to inform the headmaster of his situation.

He was greatly amused at the reaction he got to his children. the women had all fawn about how cute they were, and they had all asked about their mother.

He had made a stroy with his daughter, and they had all bought it. He told them, that he had married a foreigner witch that he had met in a conference in France, seventeen years ago, and that they hadthree children. They had kept their marriage secret, because of the dangers, but now his wife was dead because of a potion explosion, he had to take the twins with him.

He had been grilled about the details, but the story he had told them had convinced them, even albus, because they didn't know anything about his private life.

when asked about his other child, he told them that she had transfered to merlin institut. He and hermione had agreed to tell them that she had been homeschooled, and she transfered this year because of her mother death. They knew that nobody would suspect a thing because when everybody knew that hermione birthdate was 19/09/1979, she was birth a year later in fact. Her mother had changed her record to hide her and avoid suspicion. And she attend the institut inder her other name elizabeth snape.

He had been amused at his collegues reactions, they had all been impressed by the fact that his daughter attend the institut, and even if some of them express their regrets to not know her or teach her, they were pleased by her apparent knowledge and power.

But he was beyond angry when he found that black and lupin would be amoung the teachers this year.
