A Family for the Dragon: Chapter 6

Hermione woke up the next morning feeling that she forgot something. Wondering what she got dressed.

Remembering it was Tuesday and that she had her first potions lesson today she got ready for that. Then it hit her.

"S***t! I forgot all about those Earth Magic lessons! Damn it!" swore Hermione. She rushed out of the room after making sure she hadn't woken Draco.

"I know let me write a letter to Uncle Albus!" said Hermione writing an apology to Albus and sending it off.

"Good Morning," said Severus walking into the living room.

"Good Morning!" said Hermione cheerfully without turning around.

"I hate morning people," said Severus grumpily.

Laughing Hermione turned around only to stare with disbelief at Severus.

"Why are you staring at me?" asked Severus not fully comprehending what was wrong.

"You…look…different!" stuttered Hermione.

"What? Damn it!" swore Severus when he realized that he hadn't put Invirio. He had put it back on when Hermione came, but it being early in the morning he had forgotten. (A/n: There is something like this in Awakening of the Royal. I didn't mean to steal it, but this is not like Glamorie. Just the idea of a disguise)

"Do you use Invirio?" asked Hermione guessing correctly.

"How do you know about Invirio? It is very powerful Earth Magic," countered Severus.

"I read it somewhere. Why do you use it?" asked Hermione for once in her life asking a dumb question. Then she realized the reason and blushed at her stupidity.

"I'm sorry," said Mione softly.

"Do not mention this to anyone especially those friends of yours. Is Draco still sleeping?" asked Severus changing the topic.

"Yes, I was wondering when you wanted to start the Potions lessons?" asked Hermione indicating the caldron she was carrying.

"Right after breakfast," replied Severus curtly.

Hermione heard some noises from her room and hurried only to find Draco looking around the room whimpering.

"Mione! Daddy! Mione! Daddy" said Draco holding his hands out to be picked up.

"Wow, you are heavy! Soon you won't even be able to be picked up!" joked Hermione for Draco was as light as possible for a one year old without being sick.

"Are you ready to go?" asked Severus knocking on the door to Hermione's room half an hour later.

"Yeah! Come on, Draco," said Hermione picking Draco and exiting the room. Breakfast was as usual normal except for Hermione apologizing to Albus. They decided that they would just have the first lesson the next day. 

"Are you done?" asked Severus walking towards the dungeons. Hermione called her good byes to everyone as she raced after Severus.

"Severus! Wait up!" called Hermione, but like usual he ignored her and continued walking.

"We are going to do a mini-review of the fifth year potions. I want to see what you know," said Severus starting to fire questions at her.

"What is the use of wormwood in Draught of Living Death?" asked Severus.

"Wormwood is used to stun or place the person in a state of unconsciousness," replied Hermione.

"What is lengods?"

"Lengods is a plant that is known for causing hallucinations which can not be cured."

And so went the first part of the session. Severus realized that Hermione knew everything that she needed to get a B on the potions part of the Newts right now. He wrote out a potion on his chalkboard and sat down to watch her.

"Severus, why do you add this into the potion?" asked Hermione curiously.

"Because the wormwood would only momentarily stun the person, this would take them out for a couple of days," said Severus. Hermione heard the door creak open as she put in the final ingredient. She turned and saw a beautiful young woman with dark brown hair that was waist-length and beautiful hazel eyes and the loveliest pale complexion. The woman also had a body to die that any woman would kill for. The woman smiled and said, "Hello Severus. What's up?" Hermione heard a thud from the direction of her potions master. Turning around, she found out that Severus Snape had fainted and was completely out for the first time in his life.

"Oh Lord!"

A/n: Didn't expect that did ya? Well to be fair, neither did I!! :~D It just kind of hit me! I always knew that I would bring in some person to "cheer" Severus up!! :~) Wow what's next?

"I can't believe it! I have the tiniest role in this chapter!"

Draco! I thought you were asleep. Why are you reading over my shoulder? Get away! *Authoress slaps Draco on the nose*

"Hey!! Is that how you treat guests?"

Yes, if they are reading over my shoulder! You can't blame me if that's my pet peeve!

"Well, I can't believe you left me out!"

Not my fault! I wasn't stupid enough to eat some unknown strawberries and get myself turned into a baby!

"But…but…"

Well you can already expect the next chapter to be more Severus. In fact you are going to show some true colors!

"Now who would expect me to be more popular than Draco Malfoy, resident heart throb/bad boy of Hogwarts?"

Severus? What the h**l are you doing here?

"Just came to visit my favorite authoress!"

Have you read the newest chapter? *Madame Moony hands laptop over to Severus*

"What!!!!"

Sh! You are going to wake everyone up!

"How could you? How dare you? I am going to kill you!!"

What? I didn't do anything! I'm innocent *puts on innocent face*

"I don't faint! That is so…"

Don't worry, you will find out why you faint in the next chapter! Now Draco, Severus say bye to the readers!

"Why? I am not your slave?"

Draco!

"Yeah, why?"

Severus! *Authoress shakes her head and pulls out her wand* Imperio! *Draco and Severus both start waving good-bye*

Sorry, those two have been giving me so much trouble! I just can't write them! Luckily, I have gotten under some control *blushes guiltily* Please Read and Review…don't just read!
