Grandma's Story Chapter 5: Waiting Rooms and Hospitals

Jane woke up to a white room and the only thing that had color was her son, William

Ignoring her dry throat she rasped his name. He turned around.

"Mom, are you feeling better? Do you want some water?"

Jane nodded yes and after sucking on a few ice chips, she asked why she was in the hospital.

"You had a heart attack. Sarah found you this morning. Were you dreaming about the war again?"

"Yes, my darling son. How are you doing?"

"Better now that you're awake. Molly called me, absolutely frantic this morning when I was in the middle of a lecture on-funnily enough-Voldemort and the two wars in Wizarding England about him."

"Thank you for coming so quickly, William."

Mom, you know how much I hate my full name," he reminded her. "Oh, Molly will kill me if I don't tell her that you're awake.

Jane waved him out of her room to go get his younger sibling.

William Marc Antony Snape inherited the best features of both his parents. He towered over his mother and sister. He had his father's black hair but his mother's curls- just toned down. Both siblings combine the best parts of both their parents to be absolutely remarkable people.

He walked along the hallway towards the waiting room, his black trench coat billowing behind him.

Sarah saw him first and he put a finger to his lips and pointed at her mom to keep her from acknowledging him. He then snuck behind his little sister, grabbed her, and said "Boo."

"Dang it, Marc!"

"Thank you for calling me by my preferred nickname Molly. Mom still continues to think that I go by William," he said, waiting for the light bulb to go off in her head.

"She's awake?" He nodded. "Marc, she wants to record her memories of the war both the muggle and magical way."

"William-Marc-nodded again and thought how this new information. He might be able to add what Jane had gone through and overcame to his classes. "I'd have to ask her permission first though," he muttered to himself, forgetting his sister was next to him.

"Marc, what did you say?" Molly asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"Mom said that she wanted to see you. Also when are Draco and Ginny going to be here?"

"Aunt Ginny! Uncle Dray! You're here-you're here-you're here!" Sarah squealed, jumping up and down excitedly.

"Sarah, what did I tell you about using your inside voice?"

"Sorry mommy. But Aunt Ginny's here," she replied pointing behind Molly.

The grown siblings turned around to face their two favorite people-besides their mom-from England.

"Molly, look at you! Motherhood suits you. And Sarah-wow! You are so big. How old are you now?" Ginny asked, after quickly giving Molly a hug and joining Sarah in sitting on the floor.

"I'm four, Aunt Ginny," Sarah replied, engrossing Ginny into a long rambling discussion about her favorite toys, while Draco, Molly, and Marc talked about Jane.

"How is she doing?"

"She looks better but I don't know for sure. Molly, why haven't you seen mom yet?"

"Oh, I totally forgot. I'll be back later. Watch Sarah for me? Bobby had to go into work today."

"I think Ginny is handling it perfectly. Go see your mother."

"Yes, sir," Molly replied to Draco with a straight face until all three of them burst out laughing.

Both men watched her disappear down the hallway. When she was finally out of sight Marc asked how his father was doing.

"Severus is doing fine." Marc gave him a look that said 'I know you're lying so stop it and tell me the truth right now.' "Okay fine. As well as could be expected for a man that just returned form the dead. He should be contacting Hermione, sorry, Jane, any day now."

"All right. We don't need to worry them. How are your children?"

"At Hogwarts-following in your footsteps. Much to Ginny's displeasure." Both men laughed at his comment knowing that Ginny wanted one of her children to be a Gryffindor prankster like the twins and her-not straight-laced Slytherins like Marc was. She had tried her hardest to bring out the pranksters in their three children, (name), (name), and (name). However, what she didn't know was that all three were wonderful pranksters and had been pranking them the entire time by acting like "Aunt" Hermione, who 'died' in the war. None of them knew that their Aunt Jane in America was really Hermione Snape.

"Mom?" Molly asked, peeking around the doorframe to Jane's room. Jane adjusted herself to a better position before motioning for her baby girl to come by the bed and talk.

They talked about meaningless stuff about the house for a few minutes before Molly dropped the names of two other visitors for her. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She was torn between hoping it was true and hoping it wasn't.

Jane had been homesick ever since she had sent her eldest to Hogwarts. She wanted to roam the halls again but she knew if she did she would be called Hermione, something she swore would never happen until Severus said it. He loved her name, the way it rolled off his tongue and the he especially liked her response when he murmurd it into her ear while they were playing around.

"Draco and Ginny are here from England to visit godchild and their niece and nephew, right?"

"Mom, they came to see you-they wanted to surprise one of their closest friends."

Jane snorted in disbelief and asked Molly to send Draco in to see her because she knew that Ginny was playing with Sarah and Sarah wouldn't be giving up her Aunt Ginny anytime soon.

What do you think? Reveiws are always welcome.
