useDisclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story well maybe one or two but the rest belong to the very talented J.K. Rowling.

A/N: sorry for the delay in writing this story there really is no excuse I should have written long before this but didn't. Anyways in this chapter you find out more , as a request to Makalani astral, about the relationship with Draco and Harry. Well on to the story.

Chapter V

During Jacob's "detention" with Hermione they talked about Snape, and his brother's reaction to him finally getting married. Severus' much younger brother, Taylor Snape, still didn't know about Hermione and the babies, but Taylor's wife, Emily Snape, did. She only found out because the second that Jacob saw Hermione, he wrote home to his mother. Emily wrote to Hermione and told her that she knew about her, and if there was anything that she needed, to just owl her. Hermione had written to ask her, since she couldn't leave the castle for anything, to send her some chocolate products, and something else for Severus with Jacob's next letter and Emily did. James' "detention" with Hermione was finished and it was after curfew. Together, they walked down to the dungeons with Hermione being the first one down the steps. She was on the second step when the sound of someone's icy voice made them both stop where they were.

'Fifty points from Gryffindor for being out past curfew, Mr. Snape, and with a girl no less. I bet you were hoping that you wouldn't get caught so you could enjoy what teens call a "snog-fest" with this girl.'

'WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A GIRL MR. POTTER! OR IS IT MALFOY IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS?' Hermione yelled.

'H-Hermione, where did you come from?'

'Well for your information, I came from my mother. You see when two people, of the opposite sex, love each other they make love or as you would say "get laid". Then sometimes they become pregn-' Hermione was cut off by Draco's annoyed voice.

'I know where babies come from. I asked you where you came from.'

'Well silly, the same place you did... from upstairs.' Jacob snickered from behind Hermione.

'Well where are you going at this time at night?'

'Where do you think we're going, to the moon? No we're going to the dungeons because Severus is a cranky old bat. Don't tell him I said that. And gave Jacob a detention for laughing in his classroom.'

'Oh!' was all Draco said. Then he turned to look at Hermione. 'I would like it if you would not say anything to anyone else about that personal matter. Well not in public anyways, please?'

'It's not me you have to worry about. It's our little Snape right here that you might have to.'

'W-What? Aunt Hermione don't you trust me?'

'Yes I do, but that's not the question. The question is: does Draco Potter/Malfoy, whatever you wish to be called, trust you enough not to stick you in a box, and send you back to your parents with a note saying that he is very sorry for this but next time you should learn to keep your mouth shut?'

'Hermione, don't scare him. What would your husband think?'

'That I went easy on him.' Hermione and Draco laughed. 'I was kidding you know!'

'Oh okay, but I still won't say anything.'

'Good then lets go before he hurts himself. Are you coming Draco?'

'Sure, why not? Ever since Dumbledore took the map I haven't been getting any students that Snape has.'

'Yes and he's happy about that,' Hermione said as they walked down the stairs to the dungeons. Upon arriving in front of the classroom, Hermione removed the wards that Severus had put up. She put her hand on the doorknob to turn it and was zapped.

'God damn it Severus! You know I can't remove that one, yet you put it up!' and with that, she kicked the door. The classroom door flew open, and Severus stood there with a look that could kill, until he realized who it was.

'Oh gods Hermione, I'm so sorry. I was talking to Taylor in my office, and forgot to remove that one. Here give me your hand.' She gave him her hand and he kissed it. Hermione smiled.

'Now that's sweet,' said a voice from behind Severus. Hermione walked into the classroom. All went silent as Taylor looked at Hermione. 'You're pregnant?'

'Umm yes,' said Hermione.

'And you didn't tell me? And you, what are you doing here?'

'I-I have detention.'

'What did he do now?'

'Well Mr. Cranky Pants gave him detention because WE were laughing at him, and because he made the wrong potion,' said Hermione.

'I am NOT cranky,' Severus said.

'Whatever, and we didn't tell you because we knew how you would react if we did. And that is exactly what happened so calm down,' Hermione said.

'Jacob get to work. I will not sit around all night because you cannot listen to your teachers.'

'Well it's not my fault nobody likes you.'

'Ten points from Gryffindor! Now get to work or you will have to see me every night for the rest of the month,' Hermione said.

'I'd do what she says,' Draco whispered.

'Draco, if you don't want Harry to wonder where you have gone then you better get back.'

'Yes I should, but I think I'll let the three of you talk while I observe this detention.'

'Thanks, what is it Mr. or Mrs. Potter today?' Hermione teased.

'Hermione! Stop, you know that pisses me off.'

'I know, that's why I do it.'

'If you don't stop right now I'll tell,'

'Who can you tell?'

'Well I can't tell Taylor now; but there's only one person left to tell.'

'No, don't. He'll kill him I know he will. Then he'll kill Harry for not telling him right way. Is that what you want?'

'Well not for Harry, but Severus, that's not a bad idea.'

'Yes it is,' Hermione snapped.

'Hermione, calm down. Remember the babies,' Severus said.

'Wait a second! Babies? What do you mean babies?' Taylor asked.

'Well we're having twins,' Severus said as he led Hermione to the desk. She opened it up and removed two bags, one for her and the other for Severus.

'Here Severus, have these.'

'What is it?'

'What I promised you today.'

'Are these also from…?'

'Yup.'

'Oh I love these. Thanks for asking for them,' he said as he put a jellybean in his mouth.

'What do you mean you're having twins?'

'Well you know, more then one baby at a time.'

'When are you due?'

'Around January, end of December.'

'WOW! What are you going to call them?'

'Well you see, that's classified information. If I tell you, I'd have to kill you.'

'Well in that case I'll wait. What are you having? I mean the sexes.'

'Both,' replied Severus.

'Well you seem proud.'

'I am, Mother would have been proud of me. I have a wife and two, not one but two, kids on the way. What more could she have asked for?'

'Maybe now is a good time to make up with her Severus,' said Taylor.

'Maybe, but I still don't know.'

'Come on Severus, we can go as family this weekend. It will let Hermione out of the castle. Come on, what do you say?' Severus looked at Hermione, then to Taylor, then back to Hermione.

'I'll have to talk to Albus and maybe we could get a few Order members to be our lookouts while we're there. They can stand outside around the house and make sure it's okay, but I still don't know about bringing Hermione in the condition she's in.'

'Severus honey I'll be fine. Trust me. If I can make it to the Great Hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then to and from the dungeons for detentions, plus up and down two flights of stairs, and sometime extra from the Hospital wing while being watched 24-7, then I'm sure this is nothing. Besides, I would love to see Emily again soon.'

'I'm going to make you stay home from now on. You're doing too much walking.'

'Now don't pull that shit with me, I'll take the jellybeans back and eat them myself.' Taylor laughed.

'What are you laughing at?' Severus asked.

'You and the way you fought for those jellybeans.'

'He's right, it was quite funny,' Hermione said. Severus just scowled.

'Well unfortunately I must go and write to mother telling her that we're coming for a visit on the weekend,' said Taylor as he left the room. Hermione and Severus walked back into the classroom to check on Jacob. Severus looked into the cauldron and saw that the correct potion had been brewed. The four of them then walked back upstairs where Hermione and Severus left Draco to walk Jacob back to his dorm in Gryffindor since he had to go that way also.

*

It was already Friday afternoon and Severus was a little nervous about letting Hermione meet his mother. He wasn't sure how his mother would react to him having a wife and kids on the way, and didn't want Hermione in the middle of it all. Sure, he would have Order members there if he needed them but that wasn't the point. The point was that HE was scared to see his mother. He looked up as someone entered his office.

'Hello Severus, I was getting worried when you didn't come for lunch so I brought you something,' Hermione said putting down a tray with soup and sandwiches.

'Thank you darling. I shouldn't have worried you, I'm just scared that's all.'

'Well Severus, I think I know what you need.' He raised an eyebrow at her and she smiled.

'And what might that be?' he whispered in her ear making her shiver.

'Mmm… I think you already know, but would you like to guess?'

'I think I can handle that. Are you going to do this?' He kissed her lips. She shook her head. 'What about this?' He kissed her neck; she smiled.

'Closer.' He smiled and kissed her ear. She moaned.

'Close enough?' She nodded, not trusting her voice. They were just about to go on when there was a familiar knock on the door.

'You can come in Draco and Harry. You're not interrupting anything right now,' Severus said sarcastically as Harry opened the door.

'Sorry, but we wanted to make sure that Hermione got down here alright,' said Harry. 'She did leave without someone with her!'

'Hermione! You shouldn't have done that.'

'I know I shouldn't have, but it's my fault you feel like this.'

'How is it your fault?'

'Well if I hadn't fallen in love with you, we wouldn't have gotten married, we wouldn't be having twins, and we wouldn't be having to see your mother tomorrow.'

'Oh honey! Come here.' She sat down in his lap. 'It's not your fault; it's mine. I should have spoken to her long before you and I got together. It's just with everything that happened I didn't think I had reason to, and now that I do she'll love you just as I do, maybe even more knowing that you brought her son the world of happiness. Let me explain why I haven't spoken to her.'

'Okay Harry, maybe now is a good time to leave. She's fine,' Draco said. Harry nodded and they left.

'Draco knows, that's why he told Harry that it would be good if they left before I started. Okay, as you know, I was a death eater and working for Voldemort. That's when it all started, right before I was to become a death eater I was talking to my father. He told me that he was very proud of me because I was going to become a death eater just like him. My mother was proud if he was proud, so she appeared to be proud of me too.

'She was the only thing that kept me from becoming like my father, a monster. I didn't want to grow up to be exactly like him. He was a cruel man; he did things to people that nobody should have to go through. He did some of those things to my mother and Taylor but not me; he said that I was soon going to be just like him so he made me watch as he beat my mother and my baby brother.

'It scared me to watch him do that but I put on a brave face. I didn't say anything to anybody until I met Lucius Malfoy. He became like a shield from the rest of the world, I would go to him when I thought that I could take no more. He helped me. My mother wasn't too happy that I had made friends with Lucius Malfoy so, when it got time for me to go back to school, she wanted me to make new friends. I did not understand what was so wrong about being friends with Malfoy until the night I was to get the mark. He, along with my father, was there ready to make sure that I became like them.

'I went back to school and shut myself away from everyone that cared for me, my mother, my teachers. Lucius and I never made any friends because I was a very bitter person. When I graduated from Hogwarts, I did the whole thing with the death eaters, and got a job because of that one person that cared for me the entire time I was here and afterwards, Albus, he never gave up on me. He knew why I was bitter, why I hated everyone, but he still cared. I blamed my mother for all of it, that's why we haven't spoken for, well I guess it would be about 36 years now.

'Then when Potter, Weasley, Malfoy and you came to school here, I knew that Draco would grow up to be just like the rest of them and I tried to stop it. When he made fun of you for all of those years there was nothing I could do. I still think of that bitter little kid inside of me that kept me angry at everything in the world. I never thought that 20 years later I would be sitting in my office with my wife in my lap telling her this the afternoon before we are going to see my mother,' Severus finished, tears running down his face.

'God Severus I'm sorry. I always thought you were bitter because you had to teacher little know-it-alls like me all the time,' Hermione said through her own tears.

'No Hermione, having you in my classroom was the best thing that ever happened to me. If you never came to Hogwarts I would have never realized that I could be happy with the wrong people as friends. You had Potter and Weasley as friends. Potter was wanted dead and Lucius wanted the Weasley's dead. So you see, you helped me without knowing, you did. Thank you, now why don't we get ready for the weekend. We leave for Taylor's house with Jacob after his next class, and then we stay the night there'

A/N: and a big thank you to Aurora for fixing my grammar :D
