chapter 6
Snape had spent the entire summer alone with Hermione Granger, something thought to be unfathomable. Just thinking about it he had always wanted to spend time with her and let her know he cared about her, it was never that important to do so, he had to force on his job. His complete mind and body were required to each mission, each battle. Severus never need anyone one, he felt quite useless after the final battle, the one thing he dedicated his life to, the only thing he was good for, gone and he was still alive. It's not like she needed him anyway, she had friends and her loving family. She was never this dependent to anyone, it is the opposite now.
"why do we have to go back?" she asked. "I have to" he said. "but why?" she begged. "I understand you don't wish to return to Hogwarts, but there is nothing I can do. Might I ask you why you want to come with me" Snape fixed his position on the velvet armchair to face Hermione. "i don't want..." she begun, Snape tilted his head and sent a curious look "you are going to do it again, aren't?".
He was a bit confused now "what is that?" "you are going to ignore me". The man moved to sit on the couch, he was close beside her and swept a stray hair from her face "Never" Arms wrapped around his dark robes "Thank you" she murmured against heartbeat. Her childish behavior and neediness no longer bothered him, as long as she was happy.
Once they arrived at the castle Snape let the girl wonder about the grounds warning to her not to go in the forbidden forest, while he had the most enjoyable pleasure of talking to McGonagall and Pomfrey. "How is Ms. Granger?" was the first thing Minerva spat out. "Yes, has her condition changed?" Pomfrey added. "There is no change" he stated."Nothing? She has been with you nearly three months". "What have you been doing? Ignoring the poor girl? " Pomfrey asked. Snape hated being in the same room with both of them at the same time, they always ask back-to-back question. "Of course not" he glared at his investigators. "Well what are you doing to change her back?" sneered the witch in emerald green robes "Do you want her to stay like this forever?" the medi-witch continued. "She is finally happy" he looked away from the oncoming witches. "Severus..."the woman in white started."I've never seen her this happy and you want to take it from her, now that she has finally found it" he growled, anger appearing in eyes. "She can be happy in her true mind, where she belongs. I'm am quite sure she will be joyed by our victory, it is after all been her dream for the past years." Minerva boasted. "'HER DREAM' she was miserable because of the war, it tore her apart. Do you really think she will be happy? Her best friends are DEAD, along with her entire family. Why do you think she is like this? She can't bring her mind to the fact that she survived, when everyone she loved didn't" the irritated wizard and tried calm himself. "so you believe we should keep her ignorant of the truth, simply to keep her happy?" she argued. "headmaster, the Granger girl will eventually start to ask questions, she can't stay this way forever. All children must grow up, no matter how much we would like to keep them from them innocent from the evils of the world." Pomfrey said softly. Snape was once again emotionless and exited the office.
He saw a depressed curly haired sunken into a window frame, her face pressed against her knees. "Hermione, are you okay?" his fingers brushed against her head. "Why am I here?" she mumbled with her head hung low. "because next week school starts, remember?" he flashed a quick grin hoping she cheer up. "I don't belong here and I don't belong with you. Don't I have parents? I remember having parents... I think...where are they? Are they even real?...and why do-" she cried but Snape interrupted "we'll talk about that later, but it's late why don't we go to bed?" he suggested. Hermione brought teary topaz eyes to look into Severus' cold black ones "Why won't you tell me?" she through herself off the sill and ran. "WAIT, come back"
