"You really should ward your door better. I could have walked in with little or no effort. I thought little miss know it all would be able to put up wards." Snape walked into her room and looked around.

"I didn't think Vampires could enter without being invited." She stared at him daring him to say anything further.

"Excuse my rudeness Ms. Granger, may I come in?" He bowed deeply and made like he was removing a hat, the sarcasm was almost tangible. She walked by him and through her hand up in his face, a move she had learned from some of her American students. He stood staring at where her hand had been. She continued walking till she got to her favorite chair. She threw herself in it and swung her leg over the arm motioning for him to sit down. He stood of course. She had her back to him and he refused to move, so she began talking to the window while Samuel watched the power struggle from his front row seat.

"Mr. Snape, or is it still Professor?"

"You know it's Professor."

"Very well Professor Snape. We don't have to ward our doors here, usually. We have special wards on the students rooms so that they can not get out until morning. Your son found some way around them, not to mention the other problems. Your son has some serious issues and I think he needs to see a counselor. It seems that every time a female teacher bestows any affection on him he immediately takes it as a right to invade their privacy."

"Samuel, This means Military ..."

"Professor Snape this is mt room and you will listen to me until I am done." Hermione was loving the adrenaline rush from confronting Snape after all those times that she couldn't, but she had too remain focused.

"Ms. Granger I'm sure you have been looking forward to this for a long time ..." Hermione was livid. He was not going to treat her or Samuel like this. She through her legs around and stood to face him ... in his chest.

"Don't flatter yourself. This is not about you it is about Samuel and he does not need to be moved to another school. He needs help and he needs an understanding father. Now sit down and listen." She had poked him in the chest with her finger so many times that he had finally begun to back up. With her last words she pushed him with both hands catching his knees on the chair and forcing him to sit. With a wave of her wand there was a hot cup of tea in his hands and he just stared open-mouthed. She plunged right into the silence before he regained his sarcasm.

"You have done nothing but move Samuel from school to school, not even allowing him to go to Hogwarts, keeping him away from you and not dealing with him. He is your son, you need to know what's going on. He has self-esteem issues, mother issues, girl issues, hell the boy has subscriptions. He needs a female role model but more importantly he needs a good male role model. You are not doing your job dad! You need to get your hands dirty a little, you need to get them dirty a lot! You need to go to family counseling, you need to send him to counseling, and you need to take an active role in his education. You are being no better than the muggle parents who want nothing to do with their witch child's new education. You need to change who you are for your son. He is the best reason to change your ways. Now I will agree to be his female mentor so that you will not have to look for one if you agree to start taking an active role in your child's life. Agree?" She stuck her wand hand out making it a wizards binding agreement. He stared at her stone faced unable to talk. Finally he reached his wand hand forward to take hers. When they gripped hands a gold glow rose up from them. "Now I think that you two need to start off by having some father son time together." She walked to her door and opened it . They both stood and walked toward the door. "I will see you Samuel in class, no more sneaking out of bed. Professor Snape. She nodded her head and then shut the door. She immediately went to her quill and wrote Harry a note then she threw herself down in the bed.

Outside in the hallway two Snapes stood staring at a door.

"I think we might have found one this time." Samuel looked up at his Father.

"Told you." Snape smirked and they both turned and walked down the hall.
