The sounds of students arriving back at Hogwarts from break seemed to fill the hallways quickly. All the decorations were taken down the night before arrival. Peeves was welcoming some stundents back by throwing water ballons at them. Profeesor McGonagall was checking everyone back in to make sure all returned. Even Dobby was out and about looking for soemone to talk too. Since leaving leaving the Malfoy Manor he was in such a better mood. Rianna was up to her eyes in grading all the papers she thought she had before break in her classroom. She heard a knock at her door "Enter" she had told whoever was there.

"Professor Snape I have a question to ask you" Hermoine Granger was standing there she wondered if she saw her at the muggle doctor since her parents office was right next door

"I was wondering why you were in the muggle world over vaction? I saw you while at was at my parents office"

"Well Miss Granger that fact is I was going to tell my students when classes start up again here in a couple of days was that I will be taking maternity leave in May"

"Your pregnant no wonder Professor Snape has been in a good mood the past few months"

"Yes please tell no one promise me that"

"I won't not even Harry and Ron"

"Good then is Harry back also me and Profesor Dumbledore have a conference with him later on"

"I think so not sure yet"

"Thank you see you in class soon" Hermoine left and closed the door behind her

Severus was in the common room of Slytherin house checking on things. He had moticed that Peeves had painted the walls green once again. "God Damn Peeves where are you? I think you need to fix the walls back." he was screaming in the room. Other then that everything seemed to be in order. Draco Malfoy was entering while he was leaving the room.

"So Uncle how was vaction"

"You know better it is Professor or sir while at school 10 points from Slytherin"

"You can't do that"

"I just did now go unpack see you at dinner" he walked away

The welcome back feast was going as plan until Rianna grabbed her arm. It was burning the only person that noticed was Severus of course. "We must leave soon as possible before I have another episode" she whispered ro him "Alright but why only you is he doing this too" they got and left through the door nearest to him before he knew she blacked out and fainted. He took her right to Madam Pomfrey.

"She had another episode she blacked out again"

"Alright but I think this time it is not her pregnancy doing but an outside source. Did she say anything before she blacked out"

"Complained her mark was burning but makes no sense it was lifted off her by him"

"He may be having second thoughts now." she went and rolled her sleeve up and to her and his surprise there it was that mark was reappearing

"But how?" he had asked

"He has a way when he wants something doesn't he maybe he wants her"

"Please watch her I am going to find Dumbledore" he left and on his way back to the Great Hall he ran into him.

"What's the matter Severus is she okay"

"No her mark has returned and she is in the hospital wing she had passed put or something"

"So he is back trying to get her back. I think her pregnancy is making her open to his attack"

"I think so too but she wants to stay here until the bay is due ahe thinks it will be safer anyways"

"It is since he cannot get in here no matter how he tries."

Over the next few days she spent it in the hospital wing still unaware of what happened just two nights ago. She awoken to find Severus sitting there sleeping in the chair. Looks like he has slept there all night. On the table next to her bed she a Pensive that Dumbledore gave her a few years ago. She looked out and found that some memories were locked in there.

"Sev wake up I am awake now" she nudged him a bit until his eyes were open "I am ready to leave if Madam Pomfrey will allow it"

"You are sure of this it is good to see you awake now you have been passed out since the other night"

"I think I know that I could hear everyone but could not open my eyes or talk to anyone. He did a wondeful spell on me knwing I could not fight back"

"Yes I would think so" he went over to her sat on the bed and took her hand into his

"You are staying here until the babies are born and we are sure it is safe for you to return home over the summer."

"I agree now is it possible for me to leave now"

"Yes of course let me get your things so you can change" he went and got her clothes and she quickly got dressed and left the wing.

The next few weeks she had not one more episode like that night. She was back to teaching her classes and told the students of her pregnancy. Severus came down with a cold so she had double duty teaching her class and his for two days. Her potion work was a little shaky but she got throught it. Tonight seemed like the perfect night to go and tell Harry he was her godson. On her way to go to Dumbledore's office she got word that her brother was sent to Azkban finally getting himself caught. Draco ran to her in tears.

"He got caught Aunt Ria"

"I know Draco do you think he was ever going to change I felt it when the Dementor took his kiss"

"You feel his pain I never knew"

"Yes we are twins but not the same I will be here for you if you need anything and your mother will be there also. It is past curfew you know go get some sleep and come see me in the morning"

"Good night I will and I know you will be there for me"

"Good night Draco" he went off

She thought to herself "I will tell Harry tomorrow then he needs to know I am his Godmother"

"What you are my Godmother it can't be" Harry's voice was behind her "How when and why you"

"Let me explain" no sooner then she got the words out her mouth he took off running down the hall towards Dumbledore's office.

"What the hell is going on Profesor Snape is my GODMOTHER!?" he demanded answers

"Yes but you need to know it anyways Sirius told her to keep it wuiet until something happened to him"

"But why is she anyways she was a Death Eater"

"Was is the answer Harry she was best friends with your mother even though they were in different houses at the time. She was booted out of the group because Voldemort was in love with her and did not want any harm upon her. He removed the mark himself and promised never to bother her again if she kept their secret."

"What the hell does that mean anything Sirius lied to me saying I had no Godmother." Rianna walked in

"I made a promise never to say anyhting Harry do you understand that. He was a close friend of mine and yes I mourned for him."

"Still does not give you the right to come into my life now" he stormed out of the office
