Snape sat there for fifteen minutes just gently rubbing Hermoine's temples. He didn't realize what he was doing and he only realized it when he saw his reflection in the mirror and saw what he was doing.

He quickly moved his hands away from her and jumped up to get some more dreamless sleep potion for himself. He sat back down and opened the vial of liquid. He downed half of the vial in one swallow. He quickly downed the rest and put the vial on the bed stand. He placed his hand on Hermoine's bed and immediatly fell asleep.

Hermoine woke with a start the next morning. She looked around and relaxed when she saw she was still in the hospital wing. She gently sank back into the bed to realize she was laying on someones hand. She jumped up and looked wildly around to find the person. She once again calmed down when she saw that it was just Severus.

She sat back down and went over the memories of yesterday. Her parents are dead. SHe has no relatives living. All of her relative had died years ago. What was she going to do? Her only relative lived in Austarlia and had nothing to do with her family.

She was startled when she heard someone groan next to her. She looked over and saw that Severus was waking up.

"Morning Hermoine." Severus said.

"Morning. How did you sleep?" Hermoine asked.

"Dreamlessly." Snape said, "And how did you sleep?"

"As good as if someone had put a spell on me." Hermoine said.

"Well we did. A potion is like a spell." Snape said.

"Yes well I was wondering what was to become of me." Hermoine said.

"Well since you have no close living relatives......" Snape said hesitantly.

"Yes professor." Hermoine said.

"Well you can always live with the Weasley's or maybe if you really want to you can live with me. I have a large manor. You can have your own wing." Snape said.

"Well I don't think I want to impose any further on the Weasley's they have always been kind to me. Since my parents never named me a godparent I can name you my godfather. Would you take the role?" Hermoine asked.

"Of course. You could even work on potions and visit your friends during the summer." Snape said with a little smile.

"Well since I want to work with potions after school I will accept." Hermoine said.

"Yes well since we have to notify the minister and we can then get you moved into my manor. That should take no more than a day after Madam Pomfrey clears you." Snape said.

"And then can we find out why my family has been targeted?" Hermoine asked.

"Of course. First moved in and then we will see. I didn't even know they were attacking your home last night." Snape said.

"Ah you two are awake." Madam Pomfrey said bustling into the room. "Well Miss Granger I can tell you that you............."
