Chapter 3 Forever and a day

Severus POV

Severus Snape lay awake in his bed, he couldn't help but think that Hermione was lying about something. He couldn't place what it was but it must be serious for such an honest know it all to keep it from him. Severus' thoughts disturbed him and he needed to know the truth. He knew that the child would be coming to Hogwarts this year, and that she would probably bear some resemblance to her mother. Severus got out of his bed and walked over to the pedestal by the fire that bore the registrar. Flipping through the pages he found the one he was looking for. Pandora. Her name was Pandora Granger. She was born on February the 23rd and Her Parents were Hermione Granger, and.. No it couldn't be… that would make her. Pandora the name fit so well. Hermione couldn't have known that's why she didn't remember that was their gift to their victims… the loss of memory. He had to keep it hidden from her. But what was to happen at the sorting with the last names.. Hopefully he could distract her…and keep her from that class this would be a challenge. Severus took the registrar with him as he went to sit down on the plush armchair. "Accio Firewhiskey." and poured himself a glass. A bottle of Firewhiskey and a few hours later Severus Fell asleep with the registrar open on his lap.

Pandora Granger-February 23rd 2007-Hermione Granger & Phillip…Damphir/werewolf

Hermione awoke with a bad crick in her neck, and a severe craving for chocolate, however her practicality won over, and she took a long hot bath instead, after flooing the kitchens for a light fruit platter and thinly buttered toast. Hermione emerged feeling much better most of the pain in her neck subdued. She ate breakfast while reading the Daily Prophet, as usual for the past decade there was nothing of interest to her and she incinerated it soon after reading it. Feeling like she needed to rediscover the library at Hogwarts she headed up after dressing in a tight fitting Olive coloured robe, that had a sever V-neck. Over the years her style had become less stiff and more sophisticated.

Several Hours later Hermione was still sitting in the library reading, she was reading one of her favourites- Hogwarts a History again. Several years previous Harry had "borrowed" it from her and she never saw it again. Hermione looked up when she heard someone enter the library.

"Hullo Severus, how are you today?"

"I'm fine and yourself?"

"Peachy, what might you be here for Severus, as I recall you have most of these books in your personal collection, am I right?"

"Yes Ms. Granger as normal you are. However the book I am looking for I do not have and so I need it, have no worry I will not be bothering you with my presence for much longer."

Hermione waved her hand "You can stay in no way will you be bothering me. Even more so I fear we will have to tolerate one and another's company more and more as time progresses, due to my upcoming apprenticeship."

Severus nodded in Consideration. "Do you mind if I join you then?" He asked as he pulled his book off of the shelf.

Hermione shook her head, "No problem at all Severus, might I ask what you are reading though?"

Severus raised a questioning eyebrow, "No Ms. Granger I would like to keep that to myself. This is quite a Personal matter."

Hermione nodded and continued reading. Severus flipped to the Page he needed, and sighed contentedly. An hour or so later he finished reading and taking notes. Hermione looked up as he closed his book and caught the word Hybrids. Shrugging it off Hermione went back to her reading as Severus left the Library. Curiosity eventually got the better of her and she went to look at the title. "Hybrids, and how to deal with them" Hermione took another glance at it and deemed it one of his personal interests to be found out later, and finished Hogwarts a History. Stretching she stood up and left to go to the Kitchens.

Hermione ate her dinner of Shepard's pie in silence, the odd noise made by a house elf disapparating or apparating. When she finished she bid goodnight to the House elves and used their fireplace to floo to her chambers. She found a large Chocolate bar sitting upon her pillow, and shook her head. If only she wasn't going to bed. Oh well it would be there when she woke up.

Severus Snape however was already asleep his research had put him in quite a contented mood, he had figured out how to make Hermione remember gently. She simply had to be persuaded by a lover. Now, he just needed to find her a lover. He had one in mind, but it would take some work. Severus sighed contentedly in his sleep and rolled over mumbling

Hermione I love you, forever and a day.
