Thorfinn watched the horror which spread across each of his brother's faces they all knew what this meant, truth be told her name has changed only slightly it was very similar to what they had named their little girl. They hadn't even thought about the fact that Hermione already shared her first name.
Something sinister had happened, how did Severus and Bella's daughter end up in the muggle world under the care of abusive muggles. The reason that the spell did not show any issues was that Albus had used a spell that included Godparents therefore the spell had technically done its job.
If Severus and Bella were the only individuals involved in the spell, then the spell would flash black indicating an outstanding blood relation. Therefore, if a blood relative was to adopt a child little would be achieved by the spell, an alternative spell would need to be used, but in this case, Albus' spell had done its job successfully.
Hermione did not understand why all the adults had suddenly gone silent, she was terrified that they had changed their minds and were going to punish her or send her back. She decided that she was going to follow through with her original plan to escape the wizarding world.
Whilst the adults all stood staring at one and another she slipped out of the room if she could make it to Gryffindor common room, she could merely take her stuff and leave. She could not face going back to the people she called her Grandparents, the only thing that made sense was to ensure she left the castle forthwith.
She knew that all the adults were thoroughly distracted enough to be ignorant of her escape, little did she know what all the adults were aware of her movements without so much as lifting their heads or stopping their conversations, it was a parental instinct to protect their young, this includes knowing where they are always.
Furthermore, the tracking spell which each of the men had placed on her would most likely remain all her life or at least until she was married to a suitable match. It may sound a little old fashioned or sexist, but the men of the wizarding world believe it is their responsibility to protect the women in their families, they were treated like royalty regardless of their station. The protects could be lifted upon a daughter's marriage or when the male figure in a female life passed, in Hermione's case none of the men in her life was ever likely to lift her trace.
It is important to note that this did not mean that the men believed women to be inferior no! They believed that their women and daughters could achieve anything they believed/wanted to accomplish, they also believed that it was also a husband/father's responsibility to keep their wives and daughters in line and away from danger.
On more than one occasion Severus had taken Bella over his knee to discipline her, for putting herself in danger, he was certain that he would have to do the same with his strong-headed daughter, he was also certain that whoever married his daughter would also have a difficult time taming his little Gryffindor.
"Little one, stop whatever ridiculous thoughts are going through your head, this instance and come here" Severus' voice was not harsh simply held an authoritative tone. Hermione stopped dead in her tracks, she knew she could not run as they would catch her quickly.
"What is wrong little one? You are trembling in a room which is stifling beyond compare." Hermione made her way to Severus with her head hung low, she knew there was no escape. She shuffled as slowly as she could to her Papa, as she had decided to call him, after the loss of her father and mother she could not bear to call anyone else 'Mummy or Daddy' therefore she would call Severus Papa and Bellatrix Mum.
"I do not want to go back to them, and I am scared you are all going to send me back, I cannot go back they will kill me, please I know you do not like me but please I beseech you to please let me stay at Hogwarts." Before Severus could even comprehend what, she had said or what was happening Antonin swept Hermione into his arms with no resistance or difficulty and was whispering to her loud enough for the other adults in the room to hear.
'Kotyonok, we will never send you back, we are your family, and we shall never do that. I would point out whatever thoughts you are having regarding running away better not cross your mind again for I will take you over my knee without hesitation, any of us would do the same." He held Hermione close whispering in her ear, this time only to her.
All the adults in the room watched on in despair, each, and everyone one of them understanding Hermione's pain and knowing that Antonin was able to both sympathise and empathise with her plight. Every ounce of love each of them could muster was being directed towards the tiny girl clinging to her uncle, they could only hope that Hermione could finally start healing.
"Little one, listen well and listen good, in no way, shape or form are you ever going back to those monsters. You are stuck with us all forever and we shall say no more about the subject, furthermore, I am completely agreeing with you uncle, I have no problem with taking you over my knee. Once we have established the rules, I expect you to follow them, however, I will say if you are scared or feeling overwhelmed come speak to us at any time, you need not suffer in silence."
Severus took his little girl from Antonin and held her tight as physically possible without harming her, he wanted her to feel wanted and loved, regardless of whether she was blood adopted or biologically born from his and Bella's love for one and another, they would wait until she was in bed to discuss their most recent finding.
