A/N: sorry for the long update. I ran into some problems... ::sigh:: anyway, hope this chapter lives up to your expectations. :)
Holly Granger smiled to herself, she could hear her mother moving around, it was evident she had spent the night with Mr. Snape. A chuckle escaped her with the knowledge that within a few months, she would be Holly Snape, and Mr. Snape her new father, and Samuel her new brother. She rather enjoyed the prospect of having a new family. With a small sigh, Holly rolled over in bed, snuggling up to Crookshanks, who slept with her every night ever since her arrival.
Samuel Snape woke up with a start, his eyes wide. He was in the wrong bed... no, wait, he had crawled into bed with his daddy. Samuel turned, and saw his daddy asleep, his mouth open and drool coming out of it. Samuel giggled, he was so funny-looking, especially with that messed-up hair. If he looked like that every morning, no wonder Miss Mione had left last night. Scurrying out of bed, Samuel turned one last time to look at his father with a smile, confident that he would have a new mother and new sister within a few months.
His head buzzing, and a odd aftertaste in his mouth, Severus groaned as he tried to sit up in bed, and sighed. Glancing over to where Hermione had slept the previous night, he slowly shook his head in wonder. How in the world had they consummated their relationship so wantonly like that, with Samuel due any moment? There had to be an unnatural factor in that equation, Severus thought as he padded over to the bathroom, grateful that Samuel had fallen asleep nearly right away, giving him enough time to slip out and pull on a pair of pyjama bottoms and slip back in bed, without Samuel noticing too much.
"Samuel?" Severus called out, as he left the bathroom, and shook his head, remembering the boy was deaf. Finally finding Samuel sitting on the couch, Severus sat down next to the boy. Realization dawning upon his face, Severus glanced at the knowing expression on the boy's face.
"You did this, didn't you?" Severus asked, a frown on his lips. "How did you do this?" Severus asked, angry that his son had connived and decieved him into bed with Hermione, and the boy wasn't supposed to know things of that senstive nature. Samuel looked up at Severus, his eyes large and pleading.
"You love her. She loves you. I think you needed a push, Daddy. You pusshed me, and it was good for me. I thought you needed a push. Can I go see Grandpa Albus now?"
"What, he's got you calling him Grandpa?"
"Yes. He's nice and old, like a grandpa. He likes me." Samuel said with a wide grin on his lips. "I like his candy." Samuel added as he rose off of the couch, a strap of his overalls hanging off his shoulder and slapping Severus in the face as Samuel twirled around quickly to run out of the room. His cheek stinging, Severus sighed, shaking his head. The boy. He'd send the boy an Howler if he could...
Severus turned at the sound of shouting as he emerged from his quarters in search for Albus and Samuel. His ears were greeted with shouting.
"HOLLY MINERVA GRANGER, HOW COULD YOU? YOU MANIPULATED TWO PEOPLE TWOARDS EACH OTHER, AND POSSIBLY COULD HAVE POISONED AND MURDERED US! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOUNG LADY?! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH MEDDLING FROM MINERVA AND ALBUS, I CERTAINLY DO NOT NEED IT FROM MY OWN DAUGHTER AND HER BEST FRIENDS!"
Silence soon followed, and the only sound after that, Severus could hear, were the chirping of crickets outside the hogwarts gates. Somehow, the Howler Hermione had sent to Holly had silenced the entire castle, which was a feat upon itself. Shaking his head, Severus continued on his way to find Albus and Samuel.
"Daddy!" Samuel signed, his hands flying quickly as Severus entered Albus's office. "I told Grandpa about you and Miss Mione getting married, and he said yes, he can do it! please, can it be today? Holly, Remy and me can go. Please? Please? Remy said he can come and his daddy is coming, too. The whole castle is coming!"
"What?" Severus asked, his mouth slightly open in surprise, caught off-guard by Samuels' incesstant badgering and Albus's annoying smug smile as he sucked on his infernal lemon drops.
"I explained to young Samuel that if you and Hermione wished to be wed, I would be willing to officiate the ceremony. Minerva's sent out all of the neccescarry invitations, and everyone has accepted, and the ceremony can be done tonight in the Great ...."
"Grandpa!" two small children shouted, running into the room. Remy and Holly both grinned up at Albus, their eyes bright. "my Daddy and her mummy said that we can go to the wedding."
"Wait, Hermione said yes to the wedding?" Severus asked, his eyes wide, never expecting Hermione to consent to marriage. This was moving entirely too quickly, but if she was willing, so was he...
"If she actually said yes...?" Severus asked, before he could censor himself. Merlin, having a child really had sofetened him up, and he had lost most of his skills that he had acquired from years of spying. Albus twinkled up at him, as well as the three children, theire eyes bright and expectant.
"Very well. Albus, I consent. I will see you tonight."
A/N: Again, SORRY about the delay.. ::sighs:: after this, I'll be back on the right track. Tee-hee, this chapter just was begging to be written. THANK YOU to ALL of you who read/reviewed! I love you all, and love your suggestions, they do help..
