Hermione turned to see the owner of the voice; she turned and looked into
the black eyes of Severus Snape, Potions Professor at Hogwarts.
"Professor Snape! I'm sorry I didn't see you there." Hermione said, startled.
"Yes, as you must not have seen Misters Potter, Malfoy and Weasley?"
"Oh, I saw Malfoy and Ron, but I bumped into Harry. Is there something I can help you with, sir?"
"Yes there is, I would like to take you to your house to retrieve your belongings, then we shall proceed to Hogwarts. As a 'transfer' student, you will need to meet the staff, and we need to discuss your last name."
"Ok, we can Apprate there. My home is not hooked up to the Floo."
He nodded and they Apprated to Hermione's home.
"MUM! I'm home and I have a guest."
"Oh, you're home early...my God, Severus!" Hermione's mother said when she saw the Potions Master standing in her living room.
"Jessie Granger,"
"Snape, Severus, Snape. My muggle husband is dead; he was killed by Voldemort himself, because of Hermione. So I went back to my original married name, if that is okay with you, of course." Jessie said smiling.
"Is that ok with me? Yes, I've missed you Jessie. I know you only left to keep Hermione safe." Snape said, pulling Jessie into a kiss.
"Um, ok, as sweet as this is, could my MOTHER and my POTIONS PROFESSOR keep their PDA under wraps? PLEASE!" Hermione said.
"Sorry 'Mione love. Now Severus, why are you here?"
"I came to collect Hermione so she could go to Hogwarts and get re- acquainted with the staff and the castle. It will help also, so she can get into N.E.W.T Potions as well as Advanced Potions."
"Okay, 'Mione get your stuff."
"Yes Mum." Hermione said running up the stairs.
MEANWHILE AT THE BURROW
"Did you two see that girl I bumped into today in Diagon Alley?" Harry asked while he, Ron and Draco were getting their supplies packed.
"No, was she cute?" Ron asked, putting his Prefect badge in his trunk.
"Yeah, real hot, she had black hair with blonde streaks in it, and brown eyes. She reminded me of Hermione. I don't know why. 'Mione would never do anything to her hair. And if it was her, she would have said something sooner, like owled me saying she was coming home." Harry said, looking confused.
"Why did she leave Hogwarts in the first place, Harry?" Draco asked, getting his Head Boy Badge out of his trunk and affixing it to the robes he would ware on the first day.
"She said for a 'different learning experience', but I'm thinking that it was something else. She went to some all girls' school in America. We owled each other for a while, but we stopped because of the Final Battle. I owled her after that, but Hedwig came back with the original letter. I stopped after that." Harry said.
"Well if she wants to get in contact again, she will, Harry, don't worry." Ron said.
"Hey Draco, any idea who Head Girl is?" Harry asked changing subject.
"No the letter says she is a transfer student who got OWLs in, hold on, let me get the letter, um, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Advanced Potions, and Astronomy. Yeah that's it."
"Damn, this girl is smart. I think you have a rival Draco."
"Hey I take offence to that Potter; I got OWLs in all but DADA and Advance Potions. But hey, I fell asleep during DADA, and I didn't take AP. So there." Draco said, sticking his nose up in the air, and causing the other two to laugh.
BACK AT HERMIONE'S HOME
"Ready, Professor?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, let's go." Snape said smiling.
"Now, both of you keep in touch." Jessie said hugging them both.
"Will do, mum" Hermione said as she disappeared with a POP, and Snape not long after.
They arrived at Hogsmeade and made their way up to Hogwarts castle.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts Ms. Granger", Minerva McGonagall said, smiling at the duo.
"Thank you Professor." Hermione replied.
"Professor Dumbledore is waiting in his office for you. The password is 'Mars Bars'"
Snape and Hermione nodded and went to the stone gargoyle.
"Mars Bars" Snape muttered.
They went up the staircase and into the circular office.
"Ah Severus, Ms. Granger, please sit down. Now Ms. Granger the first major issue, do you and Professor Snape wish to come out with your relationship?"
"If Hermione is ok with that I would love to announce to the entire world I am not the heartless bastard everyone believes I am." Snape said with a smile on his face.
"I would like that very much. No more secrets. Should I call you dad now?" Hermione asked.
"You may call me dad when we are alone until word lets out. Until then it will be Professor or Sir."
"Yes dad." She replied, smirking.
"Professor Snape! I'm sorry I didn't see you there." Hermione said, startled.
"Yes, as you must not have seen Misters Potter, Malfoy and Weasley?"
