Chapter 2
Shocked
Hermione cuddled into the cool cotton sheets. She felt much better now, clean, at least physically. Her mind almost completely cleared of everything that had happened that day. Only one thing stayed clear in her mind and that was Professor Snape's actions towards her. She was certain that she'd feel different around him now. He had acted strange around her, not a bad strange just not something she was used to. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Her eyes fluttered shut and before she knew it she was fast asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In Dumbledore's office~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Albus smiled happily before sitting down to write to his brother-in-law.
Maxwell,
We have found her! I wish for her to be informed of this discovery as soon as possible. Will you bring your family tomorrow and meet me in my office. Best wishes to you and yours.
Albus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Severus' Quarters~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severus sat, cup in hand, as he debated on his newfound behavior. Fortunately no one was there because he began to speak to himself out loud.
"Your just being sympathetic towards the girl that's all. Ah hell now I'll have to marry the damn girl! She's not going to like this anymore than I do." He shook his head in dismay before heading off to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maxwell Vanderhorn, patriarch to the Vanderhorn family stood staring off in space, memories surfacing from years ago.
* His back was faced to the window, his son, wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter sat before him.
Aurora, his granddaughter, was a beauty even with the numerous amount of bruises formed a crossed her slender face.
"Grandfather,.I'm pregnant." Aurora cased her eyes downward. She knew that she wasn't married, and the fact that the result of a brutal rape was the cause for this pregnancy. She also knew that she had just cost her grandfather the merger with the Snape's. She listed her eyes, tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry."
Maxwell stood in thought, "Aurora seeing as how there will be no wedding between you and Mister Socrates Snape. I think that if your child should be born female, she will close the merger by marring Severus Snape. What do you say?"
Aurora nodded with out hesitation. She stood, when she was dismissed and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9 months later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maxwell stood with Astolfe Snape and finalized the marriage deal between his newest family member, Hermione Vanderhorn and Astolfe's grandson Severus Snape.*
He turned and looked around the room at his family. His wife Nadine, and his son and daughter-in-law, Isaac and Holly. Dumbledore sat quietly behind his desk. They all waited with a hard lump in the pit of their stomachs as Severus escorted Hermione into the office. A looming presence stood by the door and Severus turned to greet him.
"Hello Grandfather."
