Chapter 4

Weeks went by after the incident in her rooms and Hermione looked utterly disastrous, between settling in at Hogwarts, becoming accustomed to being a teacher, teaching, grading papers, and helping Severus with his divorce, and spending her free time with him, it was taking a toll on her.

"Its finished now and I don't have to mess with it anymore!" Severus said smiling for the first time in weeks and laying back in a chair, Hermione came over and sat on his lap and kissed him.

"Only one thing left to do now."

Severus grunted.

"I know, but don't you want your children away from Lucious."

At that his eye twitched a little and he gave her a scowl. "I know I have to get them away, its just for the first time in my life I do not want to fight anymore." He said.

She giggled, "I never thought that I would hear that."

He smiled and kissed her.

"You know, I know a good magical lawyer who helped me with somethings a few years ago."

"Like what?"

"Another story for another day." She smiled and went to the kitchen to make tea.

His trademark eyebrow shot up. "Well, get a hold of him, I am going to need all the help I can get. No judge will want to give the bat of the dungeons at Hogwarts his children."

"Well then I will testify that you are the best father that those children could ask for."

He had a small smile as he grabbed the fire whiskey she handed him.

They sat there not talking for a long time, Hermione grabbed a book and started reading, looking up at him ever so often. "We are going to do this Severus, I promise you."

"I hope your right Hermione." With that Severus kissed her forehead and went to bed.

She frowned a bit at his response, and kept reading, hoping herself she was right.
