Author's Note: Thanks for all the fabulous reviews! They make my day.
Severus! The page stated.
Severus Snape! But the book is closed and he doesn't notice it until a huge gust of wind comes from nowhere, for there are no windows in a dungeon, and blows the book open He looks over at the book and notices the writing.
What?
I want to show you something.
And what if I don't want to see it?
Do you want answers? Take your wand and tap this page three times. He hesitates before doing as the book directs. But he goes through with and with the last tap the room begins to spin. When it stops he finds himself standing in the middle of an unfamiliar room. The walls are a light blue color but the tan carpet looks dirty. The kind of dirt that no matter how hard you work, it never seems to come out. He turns around and takes in his surroundings. There is a couch, a short table, another table that has two chairs placed underneath it, and a bookcase. He heads towards the bookcase to examine the titles of the books but trips on some type of Muggle contraption. He grabs the edge of the bookcase to steady himself and glares at the contraption. A chair with a white tray across it hangs from poles. The fabric covering the chair is faded and appears to be old. He grabs his wand and looks around when he hears the jiggling of locks, the door is pushed open and suddenly Hermione appears before him. She looks just the way he remembered her. And his heart aches at the sight of her. Her slightly curled hair is pulled back into a ponytail. Her black jacket is opened and she's carrying three bags along with a blue bucket looking thing connected to a blue handle. One bag looks like the same one she used to carry when they went out to Muggle London…a purse, if his memory serves him right. Another bag is has pink, yellow, and white strips connected by blue fabric and some pink fringe hanging from it. The name Emilia is written across it in pink writing. Her other bag is black and resembles the one she used in her seventh year to carry her books. Both academic and fun. More books are tucked under her left arm and her keys dangle in her left hand. The Muggle contraption is held in her right hand and she hurries to place it on the tan couch. He glances inside the contraption is surprised to see a baby sitting in. Her black eyes search the room. Hermione drops the bags on the couch besides the contraption and lifts the baby up.
"Alright Emilia. Let's get you feed and ready for bed." She shuts the door and heads towards him. He steps aside and lets her walk into the cramped kitchen. She pulls a jar out of one of the cabinets and grabs a spoon after opening a drawer. "Do peas sound good? Huh, princess?" She grabs both items and heads back towards that the swinging contraption.
She plops the baby in and uncaps the jar of green mush. She scoops some of it up with the spoon and feeds it to the giggling baby. She feeds the baby the revolting stuff until the jar is completely empty. She places the jar on the short table and picks up the baby. Bored, he follows her down the hallway into a dimly lit room where there is only a dresser, bed, and a bed with bars. He watches as she opens a drawer and pulls out a long sleeved white outfit with pink flowers. He follows her back down the hallway and into the kitchen. Her nimble fingers undress the baby while the sink fills up with water. She plops the naked baby into the water and starts to give her a bath.
"Does that feel good, 'Milia? Huh? Huh, pretty girl? You have such pretty black eyes. Yes, you do." He adverts his eyes. He's pretty sure seeing your student naked even as a baby is against the rules. Funny, it never stopped him before when it came to Hermione. He heads back to the couch. Wondering when he will be able to come back. Before long Hermione comes back to the couch and sits down next to him. The softness of her skin rubs against him and goose-bumps appear on his skin. He can feel the heat radiating from her skin and he finds himself getting lost in her eyes. He breaks his concentration when she looks down and there lying right in front of him is her full breast exposed. He closes his eyes and reopens them. But the scene is still the same. Hermione is breastfeeding and he is watching in awe…what kind of cruel world would make him watch this? He shouldn't have to watch Hermione take care of someone else's daughter. They were supposed to be a family. The room begins to spin and he finds himself back in his bed at Snape Manor.
Do you understand?
No, why did I need to see that?
I can't tell you. You have to figure it out. He slams the book shut in frustration because of the mysterious writer's answer. What was the point of that? He grabs the Firewhiskey and pours some more into his mouth. Just forget it!
