You guys know I don't own this, I just wish I did.
Hermione sighed in her sleep and started to stretch, then paused, the pain she was expecting wasn't there. She lay back quietly and took stock. For the first time since summer vacation had started nothing hurt. This didn't smell or feel like her bedroom and she was afraid to open her eyes and wake up. This had to be a dream, her dreams were the only times she felt safe anymore. Voices intruded in her silence, a man questioning and a woman answering him. The voices were familiar, but she couldn't place them. They seemed to be talking about her, and the male voice was gentler than she expected. She almost had a name for the voice but it kept slipping away. She drifted off still searching for his name. She lay there floating just above the oblivion she craved. The woman moved around her but she paid no notice, it was peaceful where she was. She craved peace; it was a solace she had rarely received in her life. She sank deeper into her pool of oblivion with a small smile on her face.
Snape left the medical wing and paused unsure of where he wanted to go. Part of him wanted to go back to his chambers and forget about the whole situation but the larger part of him wanted to know what the hell was going on and what Albus had found out. As he debated with himself he started walking towards the headmaster's office subconsciously knowing which part was going to win out. When he reached the stone gargoyle that guarded the headmaster's office he said the password and strode up the stairs. Again Dumbledore called him in just as he reached his hand up to knock on the door. Snape opened the door, entered the office and sat down in his favorite chair. "Have you heard anything from the ministry about what happened at Miss Granger's home yesterday?" he asked and looked up where Dumbledore was sitting. For once there was no smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes was missing.
"Yes I have." Dumbledore said sadly. "When they arrived they found Miss Grangers mother dead in her bedroom and her father was not found. They believe he killed her and attempted to do the same to Hermione. The Muggle authorities wished to have Hermione brought back and placed into a foster home until this was all over…"
Snape sat forward in his chair outraged "No!" he said in an incredibly calm icy voice "I will not allow you to put that girl back into their world, obviously they were incapable of taking care of her."
Dumbledore cleared his throat "Severus if you will allow me to finish, they wanted to bring her back but if I can find a guardian in our world they will accept that. I'm thinking of asking Molly Weasley to do it, she is the most motherly woman I know and she already cares for Miss Granger. Since you seem to have developed an interest in her welfare I thought I would ask your opinion on this." Dumbledore looked at Severus inquiringly.
Severus thought for a moment. "That would be a good choice, however with the lack of….funds the Weasleys possess I would be concerned that they could not provide for her needs, or can Miss Granger access her parent's muggle accounts?" He couldn't help the sneer of disdain that crept over his features at the idea of that bookish girl living with the energetic Weasleys.
Dumbledore nodded at him. "Funds for Miss Granger are one of my concerns as it appears that she will not be able to access any of her things from the muggle world until the investigation is concluded including money. It was a lucky thing that the house elf I sent got her trunk when she did, there is no-one allowed back and nothing is to be taken until this is all over." Dumbledore glanced and the man and hid a smile. "I'm not sure how she will be able to purchase her school supplies and other necessities, even if Mr. and Mrs. Weasley decide to become her guardians I don't see how they will be able to afford to purchase the supplies she requires with the responsibilities they already have with their own children."
Snape couldn't believe what he heard come out of his mouth. "If that's the only worry you have I will provide for Miss Grangers school supplies…. And other sundries." His voice sharpened "with the clear understanding that she will not know who her benefactor is. Agreed?" he looked steadily at Dumbledore who was smart enough to hide the smile Snape's words gave him.
"Agreed. I will send a letter off to the Weasley's at once requesting a meeting. Now if there isn't anything else?" Dumbledore twinkled at Snape in the way he knew he hated. "Why don't you run along dear boy, I'm sure you have something to do besides talk to me, go for a nice walk on the grounds for example?"
Severus nodded his head in farewell and left the headmasters office to return to his dungeons and start on potions to replenish Poppy's supplies and hopefully take his mind off that pathetic child in the infirmary.
A/N I know this is pretty short but that's where it wanted to stop. Thank you everyone who reviewed me, I really appreciate the feedback. And again thanks to my Girl Blonder who is always pushing me to write more and now.
