I know I haven't been updating. Honestly, I had no idea that once I went into the AP It would take much of my time on school days. Then on the weekends if I didn't have a project for any of the teachers I tried to go out, out of the house, I did try several times to update but I had a major writers block. I will update now because of SUMMER! Thank you lord. But that doesn't mean I don't have homework over the summer. Er...We have summer reading can you believe that!

The next morning Hermione woke up satisfied with last nights parting with her former professor. After taking a shower, putting on dark blue robes, and putting wavy hair in a bun, with the wand as the support; Hermione walked down to the Great Hall. Descending the stairs, she realized her room was on the sixth floor. Why was she so near the tower? Trying to catch her breath, Hermione walked into the huge hall. Looking up at the enchanted ceiling she watched as it was a dark gray with many clouds. She hadn't realized how early she woke. Looking out of the windows closest to the Great Hall doors she saw the same image. 'Guess it's about five o'clock.' Hermione was used to getting up this early. She had to, so her personal assistants could fix her hair and her make-up for a brand new day.
Sighing Hermione sat at the only long table. The house-elves must have forgiven Hermione for her S.P.E.W. idea in her fifth year because magically her favorite breakfast appeared before her. Scrambled eggs with bacon, toast, and orange juice. As Hermione started eating, a grumpy looking Snape walked in.
"I hadn't imagined you to be an early bird, Savaree." Hermione smiled at Savaree Snape.
"Good Morning to you too." Savaree smirked and sat across from Hermione. He watched Hermione s plate with hunger and soon his own plate was in front of him. The same as Hermione. Hermione nodded.
"Good choice." Hermione said with her hand covering her mouth.
After about twenty minutes Hermione finished her food, said good day to Savaree and headed for the library. Madam Pince never locked the library over the holidays in school; hopefully she didn't lock the doors over break. As Hermione opened the door and the smell of old books hit her she closed her eyes and whispered "Thank you, God." Hermione went to the right corner of the library where there was a door that led into another part of the castle but with more books. Walked in the circular room she looked up at the books. Smiling she went to the Muggle section. Hermione had found this room the second day of school. However, she found the muggle section three weeks into school. She was terribly disappointed in herself for having to wait so long to find the section. Grabbing a handful of books Hermione sat on the long couch. Engrossed in her book, she hadn't heard someone enter the room.
"Even over the summer Miss. Granger you are enticed by books. You should be careful." The potions master said. Hermione had jumped when she heard his voice, but didn't allow Severus Snape the pleasure to know that she had gotten distracted while reading.
"Really Professor Snape? And why should I be careful exactly?" Hermione asked finally looking up from her book. Severus was looking at her intently as if studying her. Once their eyes met he looked away. A very unSnape thing to do. He looked back at her.
"Pity, it's a pity, Miss Granger. I thought you would have at least enough intelligence to figure the answer to the most obvious question." Severus said in a singsong voice. Hermione glared at him. Deciding it was too early in the morning to play games with the potions master she walked to where he was standing on the top steps. Shutting the book, placing it on the end of the railing where a table stood, Hermione questioned Severus.
"Well then Severus it must not be that obvious not is it?" Hermione sneered. Severus seemed amused at the know-it-all not being able to answer his question.
"Miss Granger, I warn you. You books will only put you in danger especially since you show the world you are interested in them." Severus said as she ascended the steps. Hermione sighed and stopped on the step right in front of Severus.
"Surely there is a point to this lovely lesson isn't there Professor?" They looked at each other intently. Giving up on having a staring contest she walked around Snape. Severus stretched his arm to block Hermione s way.
"It's your weakness Miss. Granger remember that. Your weakness." Severus turned around and walked out. Following him to see if she could have the last word. She looked across the library and saw the end of Snapes black robes as the door was slammed shut. Hermione flinched unintentionally. 'Such a basturd sometimes' Hermione thought.
After leaving the library Hermione realized it was an hour after noon. She had to get to Muggle London. She was going to visit Harry Potter, Ron, and Ginny Weasley. After she went to her quarters and washed up put light make up on, she walked downstairs towards the apparating point. On the third floor she was tackled by a pretty little girl. Naobi.
"'Mione!" Naobi hugged onto Hermione waist. Hermione smiled kneeled down and gave Naobi a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Hermione looked at where she had come from and saw Severus and Savaree talking. "'Mione, where are you going?" Hearing Naobi talking the Snape brothers looked at Naobi and saw who she was talking to. Granger.
"I m going to Muggle London Naobi, I need to visit a few friends." Hermione smiled and picked herself from the floor. Naobi grabbed Hermione s hand and dragged Hermione to where Severus and Savaree were standing. "Daddy, May I go with Hermione?" Naobi asked with a plead in her eye.
"Now Naobi, I don't think Miss Granger would want you to go with her, if she has business to attend to." Savaree said looking at Hermione and then Naobi. Hermione saw the sad look in the little girl's eyes. Honestly how could anyone tell her no?
"That would be nonsense. If you allow Naobi to come with me she will be in good hands." Hermione asked. Savaree looked as if he was going to say no until Severus questioned.
"Where are you going?" Hermione looked as if she wasn't going to say anything why would she tell him where she was going. "She is my only niece; I would like to know where she is going." Ah, that made sense Hermione realized.
"I'm going to visit a few friends." Surely he knew who her friends were. Severus sneered. Indeed, he did remember. Severus nodded his head as an acknowledgement. Savaree seeing this trusted Severus judgment.
"Alright, I want her here in time for dinner though. Adnama will kill me if anything happens to her, and I'll be sure to harm you if something does." Savaree s voice warned.
"I completely understand." Hermione bowed her head. "Well, come on Naobi. We haven't much time. I don't plan to stay long. "Hermione and Naobi walked outside of Hogwarts and to the apparition point.
Hermione apparated Naobi and herself to Harry's and Ginny's flat in Muggle London. Before she knocked on the door she thought of how she was going to explain not seeing them for two years and 'oh look, this is Snapes niece. Oh and by the way there are four of them at Hogwarts this year did you know? Its fascinating news really.'
Hermione smiled down at Naobi and knocked on the door. She was hoping Ginny would open the door but much to her dismay it was Ron. Ron looked at Hermione as if trying to recognize her.
"Blimey 'Mione! Bloody hell it's good to see you!" Giving Hermione a huge hug she smiled and answered.
"It s been a long time, it's really good to see you to." Hermione was watching Ron's reaction as he looked at Naobi.
"Hermione..." Ron started." You should have told us you had a kid with a giant." Ron whispered.
"Ronald Weasley for the love of Merlin! Get out of my way!" Hermione and Naobi stepped inside the average sized flat. Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter came from outside on the porch and gave their missing friend a warm welcome. When it all came down to it, Ginny was the one who broke the ice.
"Hermione, who is this?" Ginny gestured to Naobi. Hermione sighed.
"You guys, I would like you to meet, Naobi Snape. Our former Potions professors' niece. And the daughter of two Hogwarts professors. I'm the current Arithmancy professor. I missed you guys terribly, and I m sorry for never responding back to Hedwig, and I hope everything will be better now." Hermione said in one breath. Voice shaky because she was on the verge of tears.
Ginny immediately went to Hermione and hugged her. Harry gave her a quick embrace and a pat on the back while Ron asked.
"How can you be in Hogwarts and have FOUR Snapes!?"
Read and Review please! Thanx.
