Snapey is going to be called 'Severus' instead of 'Snape' from this chapter on.

After putting Hermione in the crib, Severus gracefully swept over to the bathroom door. He gave the baby one last look, before walking in.

Severus stripped, and jumped into the shower. "Me hungwey!!" a wail came from his bedroom.

Snarling, Severus screamed, "BLACK, GET HER!"

"GET HER YOURSELF! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT IS TAKING CARE OF HERMIONE FOR TONIGHT!" was the response. Muttering, Severus climbed out, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

"I am going to get my hands on his neck, if it's the last thing I do!" Severus seethed, picking Hermione up. She wiggled, looking around for her food. He felt around the diaper bag, and took a bottle out.

He sat down on the bed, and set Hermione on his knee. She held the bottle with her little hands, with help from Severus, sucking the formula out of it, looking at him.

Sirius and Remus walked in, Harry toddling in beside them, his thumb in his mouth. Remus was looking back, at the two cribs set up in the other rooms, one of which held a sleeping Ron.

"Ewww! Shut it! Shuuut it!" Sirius whimpered, hiding Harry's eyes. The baby cocked his head to the side.

"Shut up, Black! You're the one that had me drag myself out of the shower!" Severus said, crossing his legs, Hermione grinning around the bottle, at the sudden movement into the air.

"Siweus!" she giggled, "Sevewus! Wemus! Harwy!"

Harry looked up at her, after Sirius let go. He climbed up by Severus, giving him a curious look. Hermione threw the bottle at Remus, hitting him in the stomach.

"It's time for bed, you two!" Remus said, rubbing the sore spot. Harry and Hermione whimpered. "So, let's get your bedtime story read!"

Cheering up enormously, they waited for Sirius to return with a book. Severus had started to burp the little girl, who made little noises here and there. "Is 'Dream the Dragon's Doll' OK?" Sirius asked.

"Otah," Hermione cooed, snuggling against Severus to get warm. He scowled. Harry scooted closer to him, so Sirius and Remus could sit down.

"Ok then! 'Dream the dragon lived with her mommy and daddy. She was happy when they got her a werewolf doll...'" Sirius read. Remus sighed. Looking at him he continued, "'Dream played with her doll, in the sun, and in the rain. She was very sad when the doll fell apart, and cried for many nights...'"

Severus snickered, getting a curious look from Harry and Hermione. He rolled his eyes. "'Mommy dragon told her that she could get another doll. Dream was happy, and took the new doll...'"

Harry and Hermione were fast asleep, drool hanging from their mouths. Severus carried Hermione over to her crib, and tucked her in. "And Dream tore her doll into a million pieces. The end!" he muttered, as Remus took Harry to put him to bed, "If you don't mind, I am going to go take my shower!"

Severus swept away into the bathroom, wondering which hex he should use on Sirius.
