Granger wasnt always a Granger

by Malinda Lanning

Hermione grew up like all other girls born in the muggle world. So when she received her first letter from Hogwarts, she was surprised. Entering her 4th year, she wondered how she was able to learn it so quick. Now, as her 5th year begins, she finds out.

21. Chapter Nineteen part Two

A/N:: Yes, Yes, I know its short and I should have combined this with the previous chapter... too late. Sorry.

Severus closed the folder in front of him and sighed. This was the fifth time he'd opened it since Albus had given it to him. It was not a shock anymore to discover that Hermione was his daughter. But he was very thankful nobody else knew it. He stood and put the file into his locked cabinet. He then headed outside, he needed some fresh air.

Standing on the steps to the school, Severus noticed a faint glow by the lake. Believing it to be a possible fire, he made his way rapidly toward it. Making little sound he neared the glow. It was torches, or something similar. Severus stopped in his tracks and without thinking he shouted. "Mister Malfoy. Please take your hands off my daughter."

Draco instantly let go of Hermione and stepped away. At almost the same instant, Hermione whirled around to face Snape.

"You--- Your.... Daughter?" Hermione whispered, then she promptly fainted.

"Damnit" Severus and Draco said at the same time.
