Who has me as on their favorites list? I am dying to know! Please tell me!

Thank you all my reviewers! It makes me so happy that you still love me!
In order to clarify some confusion, I must tell you a few things. "In the Shadows" is in no way affiliated with "I Will Remember You", "Spirit Week at Hogwarts" or "Walking After You." "I Will Remember You" is in no way affiliated with "In the Shadows", "Spirit Week at Hogwarts" or "Walking After You." "Walking After You" is the sequel to "Spirit Week at Hogwarts." Thank you!
I messed up a few things in the last few chappies. It says Fiona; it is supposed to be Elisabeth (Anastastia's illegitimate child) I have fixed it for other readers, but just so you who just skip up to this chapter know.......

"So, Merrie," Hermione said at breakfast the next morning with a smile. "How did you sleep last night?"
"Well, Miss Granger," Lady Meredith said. "It would have been so wonderful, but I was in such a *strange* room, I couldn't really sleep."
Hermione put on a syrupy sympathetic smile. "Oh, well that's really too bad dear. I heard how much you wanted the room I'm in." Lady Meredith glared. "It's really a shame, because I didn't even *use* it last night!"
Meredith looked up sharply from her plate and glared at Hermione. She turned her gaze on her ex-fiancé. "Oh?" She said curtly. "Is that so?"
Severus did not acknowledge her anger but instead quickly finished his breakfast and excused himself from the table.
There was an awkward silence.
"So, Hermione?" Elisabeth said. "Do you have any plans for today?"
"Oh. Umm, I think Severus planned to show me around town, today."
"Oh, that's nice, dear." Olivia Snape said.
"But be sure to be back before seven," Gordon Snape reminded her.
"Oh, yes." Hermione replied. "I do believe I remember Sev saying something about peculiar Christmastide celebrations?" Hermione asked rather uncertainly.
"Are you familiar with the story of Adam and Eve? You know the paradise garden, the serpent, the poisonous apple?" Gordon Snape asked her.
"Yes, sir, I am."
"Well, in this theory, Adam is created before Eve is created."
"Indeed."
"So, we, in this family, call the day which comes before Christmas Eve, Christmas Adam."
Fiona Snape frowned at this. "One of Daddy's more queer notions."
"Oh, Aunt Fiona!" Elisabeth said in protest. "Tell me you do not find it comical in the least!"
"I suppose." Fiona said with a small smile.
"Yes, sounds like fun." Said Hermione, standing up. "Well, I must be going. Me and Severus have much to do today." She said pointedly at Lady Meredith.

Hermione pulled on some warm robes and brushed her hair.
"Severus?" She called. No response came. "Severus?" She called again.
Nothing.
Hermione put the brush down on the vanity table and stood. "Sev?" Hermione walked through the bathroom and into Severus' room. He was looking intently at the fireplace. Hermione caught a bit of the conversation going on.
"Yes, that sounds about right. I want to get her— Hermione!" Severus had just seen her and he looked startled.
"Severus?" Hermione asked with a look of suspicion. "What are you doing?"
"Um," Severus looked into the fireplace. "Just talking with my good friend…Francis."
"Franklin." The man in the fireplace said.
"Whatever." Snape snapped. (haha snape snapped!) "Just remember what I said."
"Today then, sir?" Franklin asked.
Severus glared at him.
Hermione pulled her winter cloak with fur trim and smiled.
"Let's go, Sev. I do not think I can stand being in the same house with—"
"OH, Sevvie." An unwelcome yet familiar voice came from outside the door.
Severus groaned, but went to the door and opened it anyway.
"Hey, Sevvie." She purred and let herself into the room. She glanced at Hermione and rolled her eyes. "Oh. Its you." She said with an icy tone. "Don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Actually, Merrie (Lady Meredith narrowed her eyes at the name) *we*" Hermione said walking over to Severus and standing next to him. Out of habit, he put his arm around her. "Have somewhere to be."
"Yes, we do, don't we, love." Severus agreed much to Lady Meredith's displeasure. "Sorry you caught me at a bad time, Meredith. Good day." Severus said with a sneer and swept out of the room, Hermione at his side.
