Chapter 10
They arrived at the burrow and were greeted by Fred and George. "Snape! Nice to see you could come out the dungeon for this," the ever teasing boys said.
Severus said back, "I am truly sorry it is on an occasion such as this. I hope you are well."
The boys solemnly nodded and hugged Hermione. George whispered in her left ear, "Didn't know you had a liking for bats Hermione."
Fred whispered in her right ear, "We know you're happy and we support you no matter what."
Hermione hugged them both even harder and kissed both of them on the cheek. The funeral was one of the hardest things Hermione had gone through and she cried even harder remembering the funeral of her parents. After they'd put Ron into the ground, they all sat around again telling stories. It was Severus's perspective of Ron that made everyone laugh the most.
Fred said, "He really was, what's that word you use Severus? Oh that's right dunderhead. He truly was a dunderhead."
Everyone laughed again. They finished telling stories and swapped goodbyes with everyone. Severus and Hermione were about to leave when Molly and Arthur came up to the couple.
Molly said, "Harry has told us about the two of you. We just want you to know that nothing you do will ever make us not love you Hermione."
Arthur continued as Molly wiped her eyes, "You will always be like a daughter to us and we support this decision you've made. We have always though you needed someone older. We apologize for the night Ron attacked you and we want to see you around more often. Both of you."
Severus shook his hand while Hermione hugged Molly, the both of them crying. They left then and went back to Severus's quarters. He invited her to stay with him. She accepted and he once again held her through the morning.
