Severus Snape tried getting used to life at Hogwarts again. It was strange being back after such a long absence away. Dumbledore had even turned half of the Potions lessons of first Year students over to him in effort to assist the Potions Professor out.
Her name was Isabella Monix. A twenty eight year old with big blue eyes and thick brown hair he wanted to lose himself inside of forever. He had sex with her that first night inside of her Office after her producing a memory of a young Seventh Year student with the same thick hair that he had loved so much. Severus had actually remembered the first time he took notice of how beautiful Hermione Granger was and he had wanted to live in that moment forever. It had been his first real memory of his attraction to her that he believed lost to him. It was also that night he realized that someone had been fucking around with his head and that was why his memories were all most gone of her.
The sex had continued onward as part of their strange relationship they were forming. Severus only used her in hopes of recovery more lost memories of his lover though that Isabella reminded him so much of. Also his need for Isabella was born from the fact that Hermione Granger still had not yet returned to Hogwarts as promised in her letter to Harry. Harry suspected it was causing problems with her marriage that she wanted to see him again and that was why she hadn't returned yet.
After another night of fucking the Potions Professor in her Office, Snape discovered a Owl sitting on the edge of his bed chamber window.
It carried a small letter.
Dearest Severus,
Words cannot express how deeply overjoyed I am at learning you are safe after all these years apart. I'm also deeply sorry that I haven't visited you as I promised in Harry's letter.
My youngest daughter recently took ill. She's now only five months old and I feared leaving her for any time as Ron has started the new Season of Quidditch this year early. Little Alexandra is now much better and I play to leave her and my other daughter Molly in the care of their grandmother at the Burrow while I finally come home.
I only briefly seen the School again back in September before the twins and Bethy started their first day of classes. I look forward to a longer visit this time.
My childrens names are Williamina, Harry, and Elizabeth that attend the School. I think you'd know my eldest two at least. Mina and Harry are members of Slytherin House. Bethy is a Hufflepuff.
How I've missed you, Severus. A part of my soul stopped living when I thought you had died back then. It brings me great joy knowing that you still live. More joy than you could realize.
I had such trouble moving on then. I wanted to die knowing I had to live without you. If it weren't for my pregnancy I would have gladly joined you. They kept me alive then and gave me hope when I had none.
We have so much to discuss Severus. By now you must see why I haven't come yet. How does a wife tell her husband she intends to shatter his very world?
Ron has been a good husband to me. He's did his best with the twins as much as he could. I should have seen that he would never be a father to them like they deserved to have. Ron has loved them though as his family. He has difficulty in reaching Williamina at times though.
She's the only one that knows everything. She found out by accident when she was only four years old. I had planned to tell her the truth eventually. Ron didn't want to though. I wanted to wait until they were finished at Hogwarts. I wanted to give them a normal idea of life for as long as I could. But I didn't want to lie either.
Williamina has declared not to tell her twin brother anything. She thinks it would hurt him too much right now. Harry is loving his life at Hogwarts and has a big following of friends.
I guess that's what I get for naming our only son after the famous boy-who-lived! Harry is a proud godfather though and has been there for Mina and Harry where Ron couldn't be.
I hope you didn't mind me naming her Williamina though, Severus. Ron thinks it was after his brother Bill. It wasn't though! It was after her grandmother Williamina Snape. She knows that. I told her when she turned ten last year. She was so proud of having a link to you.
Know that I owl this to you from the train. I will be behind this letter shortly. I cannot wait!
Love forever,
Hermione Weasley.
