Rubeus Hagrid sighed in exasperation. His Emma had stormed up to him, insisting she just had to have her hair braided now, Samuel Snape had been mean to her and undone her braid. Hagrid sighed, a pleading look on his face aimed at Hermione.
"Miss Granger, can you help me do up Emma's hair? She insists on doing her hair now, and I just don't know how." Hagrid asked. Hermione nodded, rising from her seat and heading over to Emma and Hagrid. "Samuel Snape was mean to her, he undid her braid."
"Looking at who he has for a father, I wouldn't put it past him to do that." Hermione said with a laugh, pulling Emma on her lap. "Watch carefully, Reubus." Hermione said as she began to braid Emma's waist-length brown hair into a nice french braid.
Erin stood up, hollering as she engaged into a mini-food fight with Bramwell Filch, the two tossing bacon, sausages, doughnuts, and cereal bars at each other madly. Erin launched herself at Bramwell, pinning him to the floor as she smeared twinkie cream all over his face, much to the distress of Minerva McGonagall and Argus Filch.
"Bram!" Argus shouted, scurrying up with Mrs. Norris. "Stop that, boy!" Filch scowled down at the boy who was getting his face creamed by a nine year old dervish.
"Erin! you should be ashamed of your behavior!" Minerva said as she swooped down from the Staff Table, her lips thinned beyond existence in the throes of anger aimed at her errant, mischievous daughter. Hauling up Erin by her arm, Minerva huffed sharply, wondering what had gotten into her, she had been an angel ever since her arrival at Hogwarts.. until she met Samuel Snape!
Remy Lupin and Samuel Snape both glanced at each other. Samuel knew what he had to do to get his Daddy to look at him and not at the mistletoe. He knew he had to get Remy's daddy to look at him too. He didn't like to talk with his voice, but Remy said it was the only thing he could do to keep everybody looking at him and not at Holly under the table. So far, Miss Mione was busy with Emma and her daddy, and Miss Minerva and Filch were busy yelling at Erin and Bram. It was time now. Holly had gotten under the table, but she had to have Mr. Lupin stand up so she could get the wand and do the magic, she had read how to in a book of her mommy's last night.
"Do you know what to do?." Remy asked with a shrug. Samuel shook his head no. Remy sighed, he had to think of a plan, and fast.
Hermione walked over to Severus, wondering where her daughter had gotten to in the midst of the mess that Erin and Bram had caused. All of the children were yelling, laughing, and egging on Erin and Bram as the two were dragged away by their respective parents. She knew somehow, that her daughter had something to do with this, she had been looking suspicious lately, wanting to read some of her spell books from her school days.
"Severus, what has gotten into the children?"
"Don't ask me." Severus replied coldly, his eyes narrowing at Samuel, who had stood up with Remy Lupin, the two boys smiling at each other as they approached the Staff Table. Hermione momentarily glanced at Samuel, wondering where the third member of their trio had gone off to.
Remy did the only thing he could think of.
"Samuel and I were talking. We want to know where babies come from, and how you get them." Remy said with a nod from Samuel at his side, as his hands moved slowly but surely. "Samuel says that you need to rip a girl's clothes off and lay..."
"REMUS WOLFGANG LUPIN!" Remus Lupin shouted, leaping up from his seat, holding up his hand as he scurried around the staff table, Severus sitting in his seat, frozen with surprise, but finally managing to scowl down at his son.
"SAMUEL SEBASTIAN SNAPE" Severus slowly and sharply fingerspelled out, his eyebrows high on his forehead. Hermione leaned forward, her mouth agape in surprise.
Holly Lupin smiled, seeing her window of opportunity as Mr. Lupin rose from his seat quickly, jumping after Remy.
"love me not, love me, forever." Holly whispered as she waved around her mum's wand, smiling at the warmth that shot through her as a mountain of mistletoe crashed on Severus and Hermione, just as Severus had rosen from his seat to chatise his son.
"What the..?" Severus muttered to himself, looking up into Hermione's eyes. For reasons unknown to Severus, he found himself reaching out to Hermione, leaning down to kiss the brown-haired and -eyed know -it-all Gryffindor with all the might he had in his heart.
Hermione was startled when she felt a torrent of mistletoe crash upon her and Severus. Gasping, she looked up into Severus's black eyes, momentarily mesemerized by the surprise found in the eyes.
"Sev.." Hermione found heself whispering as Severus kissed her thoroughly, taking care to taste every part of her mouth deeply. The kiss lasted for a while, Severus wrapping his arms snugly around Hermione, the witch leaning into his kiss with gusto and fervor.
As the two broke the kiss, the children all broke out in applause, cheering and hollering. Holly Grnager leapt out from under the table, climbing up on top of the table, bowing and grinning, Her Mum's wand still in her hand.
"Thank you." Holly said with a grin as she stood up. Although, the merriment of the children were short-lived after Severus and Hermione managed to catch a breath and gather their wits about them. Holly glanced at her mother, cringing when she saw that her mother had her eyes narrowed, and a side of her mouth was twitching slightly. That wasn't a good sign. Not a good sign at all, especially when you couldn't see Miss Minerva's lips like that, and when Mr. Snape was scowling like that and Mr. Lupin was crossing his arms... uh-oh.
"Busted?" Remy asked, smilling nervously up at his irate werewolf father. Remus Lupin glared down at his son, nodding slowly as Severus and Hermione both glared at their respective children. The trio all gathered together, cringing under the glares they were recieving.
"I would say so." Samuel signed slowly, a soft smile on his lips.
A/N: tried to update as fast as I could.. let me know if this was good :-) kinda tough to think up stuff like this when you're doped up to the gills on Dayquil. THANK YOU for all of your suggestions. Next chapter has more SS/HG goodness. I think I'm getting better at that stuff... but the kids are so much fun to write. I might write a sequel focusing completely on the kids, if I have time.. what do you think? Let me know! :-)
