Chapter 50: The Strange Things Of Hogwarts
For the next two weeks no one heard hide or hair of the monster that was causing a lot of problems. Hermione Snape was pleased, along with Ginny recovering from her small time being a servant, that things were going so well. However, she worried about her husband and the 'next time' he tried to harm himself. Madam Pomfrey let him go and told her that she would have to take care of him from now on.
"I'll watch over him," Hermione Snape promised.
"Good, because he's going to need it," the Matron advised.
Meanwhile, for Severus, he hated the idea that a woman would be watching over him. He muttered angrily and refuse to try on the new hands that St. Mungo had delivered by black owl. Hermione figured that they had black owls just for horrible deliveries. Of course Albus bored his siblings all stupid with all these fasinating facts about black owls and what they were used for. Hermione decided to transport Mr. Info to his father so that Severus mind could be bored stupid by a small first-year.
Of course Albus appeared for dinner and made a lot of students lose their appetites when he told them about the new book that came out about how werewolves fed. The only person that wasn't grossed out was John, who ate his pie without pause.
"I'm telling you, he's a freak," Harry said.
Hermione Granger glared at him.
"Stop talking bad about him," Lavender Brown defended. "He's so cute."
"Ooh, you want to go out with him," teased Ron.
Lavender glared at him.
"No, he's cute for a little boy," she said.
"Who's cute?" asked Madam Snape.
They all turned to see her standing there.
"Your son, Albus," Lavender said.
She smiled at her and then brought out a small book.
"If you think he's cute now wait until I show you these."
"Mum," Albus complained when he saw they were baby photo's.
Lavender took the book and giggled.
"Oh he looks so cute as a cow," she commented.
Albus hid his face in mortification.
"And there's one when he had his first bath," she said fondly. "Of course, I got these from Mrs. Weasley."
She pulled another book out.
"Hay everyone, want to see Ronny's baby pictures?"
Everyone gathered around to look at what she had.
"Hay, Ron, is this your pet duck?" teased Dean Thomas.
Ron's face was redder then the sun.
"Give me that," he demanded, taking it. "Give me all of them."
And he stomped off.
"Party pooper," Lavender said.
"Don't worry about him," Madam Snape said. "Because I've got extra's. And naturally I'm showing them all around the school."

"Here's something to make you laugh," Hermione Snape said, showing her husband the photo's.
She muttered a simple spell and he was able to view them. Severus burst out laughing, tears running down his face.
"Is this Weasley's first bath?"
Hermione nodded.
"Oh this is too good," he commented.
She grinned at him.
"And I was thinking of the perfect way to use it."

"This isn't funny?" Ron said when he heard that now everyone had his photo's. "Snape is a sick woman."
"Oh come on, Ron, it's not that bad," Harry said.
He glared at him.
"Oh it's not bad," he said. "That woman is making my life hard."
They entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and settled down. Professor Snape was back working and he told them that once again Lupin wasn't able to teach.
"He is too sick to teach, if anyone wants to know," he told them. "Now today were going to cover unnatural creatures."
He told them what page to turn to and the lesson got started.
"Now, my wife constructed this, so please bare with me."
He tapped his wand and several slides appeared. He explained the first one and the students took notes.
"Now this unnatural creature is deemed dangerous by the Ministry of Magic," he told them and a slide of Ron with a spider on his head appeared.
Everyone burst out laughing and Ron hid his face.
