As Hermione Granger apparated in front of the gates of Hogwarts. Hermione was admiring the castle when she heard two pops. The sound of Apparating. The war had took it's toll on Hermione just as it did anyone else. So by token she was constanly aware and alarmed if anything were to occur she would be well prepared. With out thinking logically Hermione turned around with wand raised high to a family of three.



A woman carrying a child who looked of the age of nine or ten. The man, had long black hair, which was tied back, but only loosely. He was tall, and tanned skin, he had dark blue eyes. Hermione didn't understand why he looked so familiar. The woman had blonde hair that was wavy to her shoulder blades, light blue eyes, and a light golded color coating of skin. As for the little girl, she had dark brown hair, straight, to her shoulder blades as well. The child was a beauty, the looks of an innocent.

" What bussiness do you have here at Hogwarts?" Questioned Hermione. Wand still directed at the family of three.

The woman gave a low chuckle as she put her daughter down.

"Our bussiness is anything but none of your concern honestly, However, under the circumstances of where I stand, My name is Adnama Calluci-Snape, this is my husband Savaree Snape, and our daughter, Naobi Snape. My husband and I are here to teach Herbology and Charms, where as my daughter, will be here adventuring the castle grounds." After straightining Naobi and her robes, she smiled at Hermione. "And what busniss have you here, Gazing at the castle as if you have never been here before,or have you? Also, having your wand at my family will of course, cause me to wonder about yourself???" Naobi looked from her mother to the stranger who still had not put down her wand.

" Oh, I am truly sorry, Just being prepared, no one wants to be on the green end of the wand do they?" Hermione mumbled quietly, but loud enough for the three to hear. Pulling her hair back, doing some sort of twist and wraps she had long dark brown hair in a bun, with the wand being the support. " My name is Hermione Granger, I attended Hogwarts with my best friends,Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly, Of course we were 'The Dream Team' of Gryffindors. I helped bring the downfall of Voldemort two years' ago, which is why I am so uptight, I retained into the muggle world and I am now here to teach Arithmancy."

" Well Hermione, why dont we go to the castle. I do believe we are being waited on." This response came from the man. Savaree Snape.

" Your Related to Professor Snape?" Gasped Hermione.

Savaree and Adnama laughed." Yes, he is my little brother. Is he really that bad? I mean to make you shriek like that?" Savaree laughed even more redding his cheecks.

" Well I hold alot of respect for him but, I know he only thinks of me as a Gryffindor know-it-all from when I was a student here.'' Hermione moaned and realized something. "FOUR!" Hermione shouted.

" 'Four' what you silly girl!?" Savaree asked amused and annoyed at the same time.

" Four Snapes!'' That was all it took for Savaree and Adnama to burst into fits of laughter. Only to be pulled out of it when Naobi walked up to Hermione and questioned.

" Where is my Uncle Severus?"
