Chapter III

The entire week was the same as Monday, not a whole lot had changed. Hermione asked Severus the same question ( do I look fat?) every day and she got the same answer (No, you're too beautiful to be fat) every time she asked. Some of the older students were a little shocked to find out about Hermione and Severus. The younger students were fine with it because they didn't know anything about the two professors. It was now the weekend so Hermione and Severus went for a walk around the lake and back up to the castle, talking about names. They went to the great hall for lunch, still talking, only to be interrupted by an owl for Hermione. Everyone left her to read it on her own because it was not their business. The letter was unsigned and what was in it was one of the worst things she could have read in her life.

Dear Miss Hermione Granger,

This is far from over you stupid bitch. You will regret ever being born. If you have kids, they will regret ever being born. You will get what's coming to you, don't forget that. Have a nice day.

After reading the horrible letter she was almost crying, when this breeze from nowhere went by.

'They're coming for me. I can feel it,' she whispered hoping nobody had heard but Albus did. He looked at her, then to Severus, and asked her to come to his office right after they were finished eating and left.

Hermione looked over at Severus and whispered to him, 'Are you almost done?'

'Yes, why? you haven't eaten anything though, you need to eat something.'

'I'll eat later, we have to go see Albus.'

'Why do we need to see Albus?'

'Well he asked me to come to his office but I can't go by myself. I need you to come with me.'

'Okay then, lets go.' As they got up to go see Albus, they passed by Harry and Draco. Being friends with Harry for so long could be a bad thing sometimes as he could always tell when something was wrong.

'Hermione, what the hell is wrong?' Harry asked.

'Nothing Harry, nothing's wrong.'

'You're lying. Tell me what's wrong.'

'I'll tell you later, I have to go see Albus about it first.'

'Alright, but we're going to wait by your room till you get back.' Hermione smiled and they went to see Albus. They walked in silence. All the way the only sounds that could be heard were their footsteps. Severus whispered the password to the headmaster's office and they walked up the stairs to talk to Albus, still holding on to the letter.

'Hello Albus, you wanted to talk to me?'

'Yes I did. Please sit down, ah good you brought Severus with you. This saves me having to say it again.'

'Albus what's wrong?' asked Severus.

'That is more of a question for Hermione to be answering, don't you think Hermione?' He looked over at Hermione who was looking at the floor.

'Hermione what's wrong? You can tell me.'

'That's just it. I can't, I won't.'

'Why can't you?'

'I just can't. I love you too much.'

'Hermione, may I see the letter you received at lunch?' asked Albus. She reluctantly handed Albus the letter. 'Yes now I see why. Hermione, can I ask you, do you know who this is from?'

'You can ask but I might not be able to give you an answer.'

'I see. Severus, can you tell me whose writing this is?' He handed Severus the letter.

'No, not right off hand.'

'Alright, now Hermione you must tell us if you get anymore, okay?'

'Okay. But what about the babies? Will they be alright?'

'As long as you don't leave the school right now until we find out just who this person is, until then I want you to remain in the protective perimeter of the school.'

'Okay Albus, but I need to tell Harry and Draco. They're probably going to corner me if I don't tell them.'

'Alright but no one else is to know. Do I make myself clear?'

'Yes Albus, can we go now? I'm kind of tired.'

'Sure and can I make a suggestion?'

'Sure, what about is it?'

'I couldn't help but overhear your conversation over the last couple of days and the name Isabella is a lovely name,' answered Albus, smiling.

'Hey I do like that name, what about you Severus?'

'Yes thank you Albus. That helps with the girl.'

'Anytime, see you at dinner, will I not?'

'Yes, until then we continue with our conversation to think of names for the boy,' said Hermione and waved bye to Albus as Severus nodded his good-bye.

When she got back to her rooms she told Harry and Draco. They were very scared for her and wanted to know who this person was so that Hermione did not have to fear for her children.

The weeks went by with no more strange letters. Things were looking good till one day during breakfast in the beginning of October Hermione got another letter.

Dear Miss Hermione Granger,

As the time goes by, it gets closer and closer to the day that you will no longer be living. I can't wait till I get you alone to finally to do the thing I have always wanted to do to you. I hope you would say hello to Draco for me and say hello to your husband. Have a nice day Mrs. Snape.

M.

How the hell did this person know about Severus? she thought to herself. 'Wait a second,' she thought out loud.

'What is it Hermione?'

'Here read this.' She gave him the letter to read. 'I have to go talk to our little friend Draco.' She got up just as he was finishing the letter.

'Who the hell is "M"?'

'I don't know, but I'm about to find out. Stay here, you might scared him.' Severus glared at her. 'Don't give me that. It doesn't scare me but it is funny to look at you like that.' Severus stopped glaring at her and she walked to the other end of the table, laughing.

'What is so funny Hermione?' asked Draco.

'Oh nothing but I need to talk to you... NOW!' Harry looked a little scared that she was yelling at Draco when he didn't even do anything... today.

'Fine. What did you need oh Mega Grouchy One?' She grabbed a hold of his shirt and dragged him out of the great hall through a door behind the staff table. Harry went to sit by Severus to find out what is wrong with Hermione.

'Draco, who do you know that signs their letters with the letter "M"?'

'Why would I tell you?'

'I know that you know the person sending the letters. You just don't want to tell me who it is.'

'What are you talking about?'

'You know what I'm talking about. Don't lie to me.'

'I'm not lying, I seriously don't know what you're talking about.'

'Then why won't you tell me who signs their letters with the letter "M"?'

'Because the only person I know that does that is...me that's why, and I swear it's not me sending the letters to you.'

'Are you sure you don't know anyone else?'

'Yeah I'm sure. Why are you asking anyway?'

'Because whoever it is, they told me to say hi to you.'

'Really? Well we need to find out who this person is. Can you give me anymore information?'

'No, because I don't know anymore about this person, we need to talk to Severus, maybe he can help.'

'Okay lets go talk to him. I think Harry might want to know what's wrong with you,' said Draco.

When they got back to the great hall, nobody was there. So they just went to their classrooms. On Hermione's way down to her classroom she heard a noise. She turned around to see where the noise came from and screamed. Her sound of her yell was heard in the potions room and Severus left his class to find out who had screamed. Some of the students followed, without him knowing. When he got to where he thought the sound came from, he looked down only to see Hermione lying on the floor unconscious. He bent down to find out if she was hurt and then he saw the students. He sent two of them to go tell the headmaster and to go to the hospital wing. As he left for the hospital wing with Hermione, he told the rest of the students that had gathered that class was cancelled, and to go back to their common rooms until their next class started. When he got to the hospital wing, Albus was already there.

'What happened Severus?' Albus asked.

'I'm not sure, I heard her scream but at the time I didn't know it was her and she was lying on the floor. Will she be alright?'

'I don't know we'll have to find out what happened, then we'll know for sure.'

'Who would do something like this? I don't think one of the students could have done this but I could be wrong, you never know.' They waited about 2 hours for her to wake up. When she awoke all she could remember was turning around to find out what the noise was and seeing...
