Dear Severus,
Thank you for your letter it was nice to arrive home ,and find it awaiting me. I would love to know what you are working on. Mom and Dad weren't home when I arrived. So I unpacked then read your letter. Apparently Crook shanks enjoyed the cruise as much as my parents. Oh I hear them now. I'll write you again soon Severus probably tonight or tomorrow.
Yours, Hermioné.
Severus sat in his chair holding the note, as he breathed in the scent of her letter

Dear, Severus
Please forgive my tardiness in writing, as I have been really busy. My parents are so thrilled to have me home even if they insist I not do magic around them, it is very tiring having to do everything with out it, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I hope all is well with you Severus, and that your research is going well. Mom ,and Dad are talking about a trip to Paris, in July, so I'll be gone for about 3 weeks. I am really looking forward to it, and to the end of the summer as well. I will write again soon
Yours, Hermioné .

Dear, Hermioné
I'm glad you arrived home, and there is no need to apologize. You owe me nothing Hermioné. I simply enjoy your letters when I get them. I'm researching a better wolf's bane potion right now, it is coming along nicely. Paris sounds nice this time of year. I have been there a many times one of my family's estates are there. You will have to let me know when you are going , and if you want you can stay there. have you discussed your return with your parents yet, I feel the sooner you do the better it will be for you. Well I must turn in now Hermioné I hope you have a nice trip.
Yours, Severus

Well as you probably guessed my parents are not so thrilled that I am returning to Hogwarts, in august. They would like to forbid it , but I am an adult as you know. you won't believe what they tried to the wanted to set me up, with one of the men in their office. This guy was a total git , and so old too in his mid forties. I told them I was not ready for that and especially with a muggle 20years my senior it is too funny right. I told them if I do settle down it will be with a wizard a bit closer to my age, but age is different in our world. Well that is all for now Severus, I will write again oh and thanx for the offer, but I don't thank you for the thought Severus
Yours, Hermioné
Severus sat in his office, and refused to let her words bring him to despair. He had known all along there was no hope for him. Now he was certain he would just have to guard himself against this pain. He pulled out some parchment and wrote back to her
Dear, Hermioné
I am truly sorry about your parents reaction, and their inability to understand how you feel. I hope things will get better soon, and I hope you can enjoy your trip Paris. I'm sure one day someone will touch your heart, and you will love again until then you must wait. Till next time my friend
Yours, Severus.
He sent the owl knowing one day ,she would find love again, and he was certain it would not be him. Time passed slowly and it was more than a month before he heard from her. He had just about given up when the owl arrived.

Dear, Severus
What a horrible person I am for not writing you my friend, but we are just back from France since the 18th, it seems all I do is argue with my parents. I can't stay here any longer. I'm going to write Harry, and see if I can stay there unless you think Minerva would let me return early, let me know what you think I'll wait to write Harry till I hear from you ok thanx again
Yours, Hermioné.

Dearest Hermioné I'm Sure Minerva would allow it, but I would like for you to invite you to my Estate in Derbyshire. We could work on my research for a few weeks, then travel to Hogwarts the second week of august if you like, just apparatus to Prince's landing in Derbyshire I will wait for your owl
Yours, Severus

Severus,
I will arrive tomorrow around noon see you then
Thanx, Hermione.
Severus was shocked she was coming, he called his house elf.
"Misty I have an important guest coming tomorrow. Make the Red room ready for her and make sure the libraries are cleaned again, as well as the dining room. This lady is to be treated like a queen. I care for her a great deal, anything she wishes for is to be provided. I'm not sure if she rides ,but make sure the stables are ready as well. Contact Lucius and tell him I'm canceling Thursdays for the foreseeable future that will be all she arrives tomorrow."
The house was in a flurry as they readied for Hermione's arrival. He was worried she wouldn't like it. Much of Prince's landing was very dark he hoped she wouldn't mind. He wanted to remove the picture of himself in the hall , but it was permanently charmed to always show the current Lord, and as the current Lord prince it would stay that way till the he died .e turned sharply as he hear the wards on the floo announce Lucius he stepped out and bowed
"my Lord prince….."
I'm sorry for the ending , but what happens next needs it's own chapter. I have a question as I have not put Harry's relationship in here who would you like to see. I'm not a Ginny fan so suggestions would be welcome. Reviews are like candy they are sweet and appreciated. Thanx for reading
