Motherly Amnesia

Chapter Ten

A/N-The same disclaimer follows, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Albus, Minerva, and the other characters with the lovely setting and plot ideas (main) belong to J.K. Rowling and Co. Now if they want to give me Severus ((smirks)) I wouldn't be against it. For my lovely reviewers, I thank you for the death threats and violent reviews as well as the lovely comments that make me wish to write more. Merci, mes Amis! Thank you, my friends as well as my lovely reviewers. Now, onward to the chapter.

The stampeding footsteps belonged to no other than Zachary Potter. The six-year-old practically flew to Hermione's bed and with a shriek of "MIA" climbed up and sat beside her, arms clasped around her shoulders and he nuzzled to her bosom.

"Mia, I missed you so, Grandy Alb' told me I could see you and it's been so long since I've seen you. Grandy was tellin' me 'bout how daddy was a seeker in his first year and how he won his first game for Gryffindor when he caught the snitch and Uncle told me about how he played against daddy and how daddy avoided this evil bludger that was chasing him. It was so cool! I wish daddy was here!" With that he cuddled further into her bosom. "He looked up at her with his silvery blue eyes and his ruffled black hair,

"Mia, is Sevverus…Severus…Uncle Sev, here? Oh look, here he is. Anyway, he brought me to Hogsmeade and we went into Flourish and Botts and he got me a nice book, "Hogwarts: A History" You Remember how you would always read it to me, Mia? You are such a great mu…. auntie. Then we went to Honeydukes and I got a Chocolate Frog and some Bertie Bott's Beans, those beans are weird. I GOT ONE AND IT WAS BOGEY!" He stopped to catch his breath and gave Hermione a chance to see the difference three years made, he was taller and bigger slightly but his hair was just the same. She fluffed it about as he lay against her.

Suddenly he was up with a jerk, "Mia, it kicked me!" She smiled and put his and her hand to her stomach, "Babies do that Zach, and they do it to show they are there." Suddenly she smelled the soot on his outfit and with a sneeze started to feel something come over her. Seeing the flashing concern in Zachary's eyes, she stopped it suddenly.

Severus swooped over to his wife in concern, when her eyes soothed his worry he ruffled Zach's hair and kissed his wife quickly on the lips. "Talking about the baby, hmm," he muttered against her lips. She giggled and swatted him on the arm, "I'm feeling familiar things and I think I'm getting glimpses. Severus, I know I love you and I know I love Zach and this baby. I also know that I want Zach to be a part of our lives, I had this sheet inside of my Moste Potent Potions book Severus." She pulled a jumble of papers from the book, filled out to Adopt Zachary Potter to Hermione and Severus Snape. "Severus, are we still going to? I see this boy," she looked down at the boy who was resting on her bosom fast asleep, "I see him and I feel such love, such warmth…I want him for my own." Just then, Zachary started convulsing, and she started shaking him and whispering to him. His eyes opened, wide alert and he shrieked, "Mummy," and hugged Hermione as tightly as he could. Hermione looked at Severus and her eyes clearly declared that in her mind, she had proven her point.

Clutching him to her, she smiled to the ceiling. She had awoken to memories of a studious and slightly alone childhood and suddenly she was educated, had a job, a husband who loved her, a baby on the way, and now a son. Well that is if Severus and her get the foundation to do so. All his legal guardians were gone, Luna and Harry as well as Luna's father who was persecuted by a group of death eater's for a slanderous article against Voldemort's character. They were all given grisly deaths and sadly The-Boy-Who-Lived, died leaving Voldemort a simple mortal dwelling in a leaking power source.

The question dwelling on Severus's mind was, there was a potion in her system and he had to find the counter potion immediately. With fast steps he kissed his wife and quickly strode from the room.

A/N-If you can guess what comes next, I'll give you a plush Snapie or a cookie.
