Note: Thanks for review. I apology for writing Severus wrong in my first
chapters. I think it came from Latin. There is the word serverus. It means
serious and severe. The story won't go on as confusing as it is now, I
guess. But I can't promise.
Chapter Four(2)- Explaining Everything Again(2)
Hermione and her parents walked down Diagon Alley. They had bought the floo powder and new books at Flourish and Blotts. As she escaped the bookshop she saw Draco Malfoy coming down the street.
"Hey Mudblood", he greeted evilly.
Hermione just ignored the blond boy.
"At full moon you'll be dead", he simply said and grinned.
It was the same grin Hermione had seen before. It always spread across his face when he planned something or had done something really evil and mean.
Malfoy walked away and left a shocked Hermione standing in the Alley. She trembled hard and wasn't able to speak. To get to know the day you'll die was hard.
Mr. And Mrs. Granger came a moment after Draco had left. They pulled their daughter into a tight hug and tried to calm her. During the ride home she cried. She cried, as there would be no end. Hopefully she will be on Hogwarts soon. Save, but without her parents.
It had turned her life upside down. The summer could have been so peaceful. Just then Voldemort had to come back. And if that wasn't enough his Deatheaters had to hunt her.

Harry and his parents walked up the stairs to Professor Dumbledore's office. Every one of them knew what the old wizard wanted. They walked in silence and thought about what to say. Severus had the most difficult part.
They entered the office. The old man sat behind his desk. "I'm happy to see you."
The three sat down opposite to him.
"What do you want?", Snape asked, although he knew the answer.
"Why are you so nice to each other? I don't understand it. You always had hated Harry and his parents when I remember right." Albus looked at the younger professor.
Severus looked at Lily before he began to speak. "See Albus, Lily and I had been friends since our first year here at Hogwarts. Nobody had known it. After all she was a Gryffindor and I was, still am, a Slytherin. It had been hard for me to see her kissing and dating James. But she returned to me during her time with James and we dated each other, too."
Lily took over the word. "I dated both. James was kind of an alibi for me. Severus was my only true love. We had a last date before Severus was ordered to go away. The product of this night is Harry. A boy, who will look more like his father in a few years. No one except the four of us in this room knew about it. Neither Sirius nor Remus do."
Dumbledore had listened very patiently. "How do you get with it, Harry?", he finally asked.
"It's a bit strange but I'll get along with it in some time. I think", Harry answered.
Dumbledore nodded and turned his head to face Severus, who was very uncomfortable with the situation. "Severus, is Lily your reason for not being a Deatheater", inquired the headmaster.
"Yeah, that's the reason."
"Thank you for telling me this. I'm happy you trust me. Have a good night", Dumbledore said at the end of the meeting.
The family left the office.
"Harry, do you really think we only need some time", Sevreus asked.
"Yeah, I think it", the boy answered.

The night Hermione didn't sleep well. She woke up sometimes. Cold sweat ran down her face. It was another nightmare. The nightmare disturbed her all the night. All were the same.
She was sitting alone in her room crying. It was dark. Suddenly there was a flash of green light. Some humans entered the room. There faces were hidden behind black masks. They came nearer and nearer. As they reached the crying Hermione they took off their masks. She saw Lucius and Draco, Snape and Voldemort, Crabbe and Goyle and other Deatheaters around her. Silver swords blinked up. Before they hit her she woke up.
After taking a deep breathe and turning around in her bed Hermione went to sleep again. She hoped she would at least get some sleep.

It was far after midnight. Lucius and his son were in a shop in Knockturn Alley. The half moon was shining. Soon it will be full. Draco looked forward to it.
"And Draco, how do you want to kill your victim?", Lucius asked.
"I don't know yet, father. I think about something brutal", the younger blond haired answered.
Lucius looked satisfied. This was his son. "How sound burning to you?"
"I don't like it", Draco said. He grinned evilly. He already knew how he would do it.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP
Harry lay in his bed in the Dungeons. He never expected to like it in the Dungeons. He never expected to like Snape, the greasy git.
The last two days had been very exciting. His mother had come back after losing her memory by a curse of Voldemort. The letter Hermione had gotten and which had scared her so much that she had to run away from her home. And of course Harry's real father.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP
Severus and Lily were in an other room. Both had a glass of wine their hands. They smiled to each other. Each happy to have the other.
"Do you still love me?", Severus asked.
"Yeah, I never could stop loving you", she told him
"I'm glad to hear that." The man took a sip from his wine.
"You and Harry didn't get along too well, did you?", inquired Lily.
Severus shook his head. "No. I hated him. I thought he was James' son, not mine. He realized that and hated me to, I guess", Snape said.
"And because he is a Gryffindor you hated him", Lily add. She smiled at him.
He grinned a little. It wasn't the evil grin he put on during school time. It was softer. "Where have you been the years in which you hadn't know memory?"
"Most time in a hospital near London. It was awful not to know who I am. Voldemort's curse had done a good job. But that's over. I'm happy to be my old self. I'm happy to be back here." She paused. "So you've finally made it to a professor?"
"You know I always wanted to be one. Luckily my past didn't affect it." Severus yawned.
"I think we go to bed or you won't get out of it tomorrow morning." Lily stood up and threw a pillow in Severus direction.
A little sleepily he got up, too and let her to the spare room. Then he went of to his one.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP
Hermione got up early. Today was the day she'll leave her family.
The girl ate her breakfast in silence. She wasn't in the mood to talk. She was sad and tired. Tired because of the nightmares, which had disturbed her sleep.
After breakfast she packed the rest of her stuff and got ready for the journey by floo powder.
She hugged her parents good bye and told them that she'll be back at Christmas. At least she hoped so.
The last thing the Grangers heard from their daughter was: "Hogwarts, Dumbledore's office!" She disappeared in green smoke.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPPHPH
Dumbledore waited for the girl in his office. He was happy as he saw her stepping out of the green smoke healthy and alive. But the old wizard didn't know anything about the inside of Hermione.
"It's good to see you, Ms. Granger." Dumbledore shook her hand.
"It's good to see you, too, headmaster." Hermione said a little shyly.
"I know you are a disciplined student but I have to tell you some rules: The Gryffindor tower is yours except the boys dorm. You can use the library but not the forbidden part. Don't annoy the teachers. The forbidden forest is as always forbidden."
"Alright Professor Dumbledore. I think I won't get into trouble. Harry and Ron aren't here."
"You don't know Mr. Potter is staying here?"
Hermione looked surprised at the statement. No one told her. "I didn't know. Why?"
"He'll tell himself. Is there anything else on you mind?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm afraid of Professor Snape", the girl stated.
"Don't be afraid he isn't a Deatheater." The headmaster answered.
Hermione nodded and left the office.
