Hermione was in and out of consciousness for the rest of the ride.In one of her out moments she felt someone shaking her shoulder. She cracked one eye open and caught a glance of Snape. Groaning she opened both eyes.
"We're here." He told her
'What time is it?" She asked then yawned
"7 p.m." He replied "We're just in time for dinner."
"I guess this means I have to move." Hermione said not really wanting to move from her comfy position.
"yes it does."
Hermione groaned and shifted a bit.After a few seconds she got up with exaggerated difficulty.
She went to open the back so she could get her trunk but Snape stopped her.
"The house elves have already been out to get it.It took me ten minutes to wake you up you know."
"Sorry." She said sheepishly.
"Hmmph." Was his only reply as he walked towards the house.
Hermione sighed and then ran to catch up. Hermione was just noticing the house in front of her. It was a beautiful Victorian style house, with three floors and a humungous garden. In the middle of the circular drive way was a fountain with a sculpture of a fairy in the middle. She surveyed this beautiful scene with a type of glee only a girl could posses. What she didn't relies however was that she had fallen behind again and that Snape was already standing on the front porch with an attractive middle age couple and an older woman.All of whom were watching her.Only when her professor called her over did she stop admiring the grounds.
She jogged up to them.
"Hermione, this is my brother, Angelo, and his wife, Sabrina, and my mother Mrs. Snape."
"Hello." She said somewhat shyly.
"You'll have to call us Mum and Dad in public but when we are here you can call us Angelo and Sabrina." Sabrina said gently.
"Or you can call us that crazy old couple.Whatever works for you." Angelo said with a boyish grin.
"Angelo!" Sabrina said in a warning tone.
"And you can call Ime/I Nana." Said Mrs. Snape a sixty-some year old woman with sharp but kind dark blue eyes , black hair pulled into a bun at the back of her head and a generous bosom.
"Yes Ma'ma, er, Nana." Hermione said
'Nana' nodded her head in a satisfied sort of way and walked into the house calling for the rest of them to follow, that dinner was getting cold.
Hermione was having a hard time believing these people were related to her greasy git of a professor, Hell she was having a hard time believing that the guy standing next to her was her professor.He was being so nice it was almost like the twighlight zone.
Soon they were all seated in an impressive dining room.The adults fell into a pleasant conversation and Hermione half heatedly listened.Instead she studied the people surrounding her.Mainly the people who would be her legal guardians for the moment.Sabrina was a pretty brunette of about thirty with soft grey eyes and a nice tan.She wasn't by any means skinny but she wasn't fat.She was, by Hermiones standards, the perfect build.Hermione never could stand stick thin girls.She even thought she needed to gain wait, what she didn't know was femal population of Hogwarts would kill to get her curves and the male half would kill to run their hands over them.Angelo Had his mothers dark blue eyes and black hair the only diffrence was Angelo's eyes had a mischievous glint to them.an almost exact copy of his older brother, Severus, Save a few years younger and he smiled a lot more.
It was only when they started discussing her professors love life did she listen intently.
"Severus, when are you gonna find a nice woman and settle down?Your thirty- seven years old and you have yet to get married." 'Nana' Asked.
"I'll get married when I'm good and ready mother." He replied
"What about this Minerva you work with?" Angelo asked "I heard Albus say she's a wonderful woman.Why don't you court her?"
Hermione couldn't hold her laughter back, it just burst out. 'Nana' and Sabrina looked confused, Severus was looking at her disapprovingly and Angelo was smiling cluelessly.
"What's the joke?" He asked
"Pro-Pro-Pro-Professor McGonagall." She said barley getting the words out for all her laughter.
Everyone else looked at Severus and he just shrugged.
Once Hermione had calmed down and apologized everyone resumed their meal.After that they kept the conversation lighthearted. After dinner Hermione was excused to go to bed having been told they would be very busy the next day.
Once the adults had settled down into the sitting room they picked up their conversation from the porch.
"Well I think she's wonderful." Sabrina said.
"Poor girl," Nana started "Being trapped in a boys body must not be at all fun."
"I told you Mother, it's for her own protection." Severus said with an exasperated sigh.
"Don't feel to sorry for her yet Mother," Angelo began "Feel sorry for her when she has to use the boys bathroom at school." And then he broke out into gales of laughter and after a few moments of trying to be dignified Severus joined him.While the women watched them in amusment.
Hermione climbed the stairs wearily. If she wasn't so tired she would have been indignant at being told to go to bed like a child. But as it was she was almost dead on her feet, and that beside the initial shock of what had come to pass over the last 24 hours was wearing off and the weight of it was hitting it at full force.finally she found the room that had been given to her and collapsed on the bed. Tears were welling up in her eyes.Slowley they started to make their way down her cheeks and pretty soon she was sobbing quietly into her pillow.
