AN: March Break is OVER! crying heavily oh well… back to school…
Gryffindor Common Room
"Come on Ron, we have to get off Hogwarts grounds." Harry called loudly. "Come on, we're going to be late.
"Fine. I'm coming." Ron muttered as he followed Harry out the portrait.
Small Hotel in London, England
"Come on Severus. We have to catch the early tube." Hermione yelled.
Severus was still sleeping. Hermione shook Severus awake.
"What?" Severus muttered sleepily.
"Get up Sev, today we have to go see my parents, remember?" Hermione said gently.
"Ok, I'll be ready in a sec." Severus said as he got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom.
Hermione's House
"Ok Harry, this is it. This is where we get guilt-tripped about not keeping a better eye on Hermione." Ron said solemnly.
"You're right Ron… You're right." Harry muttered as he rang the doorbell.
The door swung open and a woman with hair like Hermione peered from behind it.
"Can I help you boys?" She asked.
"Yes Mrs. Granger, we have something to tell you. It's about Hermione. May we come in?" Harry answered slowly.
"Of course, of course. Come right in boys." Mrs. Granger replied. She opened the door wider and ushered Harry and Ron inside.
"Frank, we have some visitors." Mrs. Granger called into the house.
"Okay Lillian I'll be there in a second." Mr. Granger replied from wherever he was in the house.
"Please sit down…" Mrs. Granger trailed off.
"Harry." Harry supplied. "This is Ron." Harry said jabbed a finger at him.
Frank Granger came down the stairs, which Ron noticed were very rickety. He came to sit on one of the two chairs.
Harry cleared his throat. "We have something… tragic to tell you." Mr. and Mrs. Granger's faces turned very grim at this statement. "Hermione… well… she's run off." Harry looked at the ground to hide tears that were forming.
"Run off? I don't understand." Mrs. Granger said quietly.
"She left Hogwarts, with… our Potions teacher. Some Gryffindor girls found a note under her bed. It was a diary entry." Ron said equally quiet as Mrs. Granger. "The entry said that she loved Snape… that's the Potions teacher. It also said she was going to run off with him, which she did."
"Let me get this straight, my only daughter ran off with her teacher?" Mr. Granger asked.
"Yes." Harry replied simply.
The doorbell rang. Mrs. Granger jumped up to get the door.
"Oh, Hermione… Hello. How are you, darling? Come in!" called a fake happy voice.
Hermione and Snape walked into the living room. Ron immediately stood up.
"Hermione! Why on Earth did you leave? What were you thinking?" Ron yelled at Hermione. Then he looked at Snape, who was wearing all black for the millionth time. "You! What did you do to her? What did you do?"
"Perhaps Weasley, if you sat down Hermione and I might explain some things." Severus snapped.
Ron sat down.
