Title: Hermione's Helping Hand
Hermione's Birthday
Severus continued to teach Herbology over the next several weeks. When October came around the students were all talking about their Hogsmead visit that would be taking place on Halloween. Minerva called Hermione in a week after October started to give her enchanted robes that would hide her condition. Severus and Remus had both told her about what had happened and who Hermione suspected in trying to kill not only her, but also her husband.
" But there's no way to prove it!" Minerva pointed out.
Severus had gotten very angry at those words and Minerva couldn't blame him. However with two months to go before Severus would be free, there was nothing that they could do, or he could do.
" If he attacks me or my wife again, I will kill him," Severus had threatened.
Minerva knew he would.
Several days later all Hermione's friends had a late eighteenth birthday party for her. They all had given Hermione anything that she would need for the babies, but Draco hadn't been invited. They all made sure that the food hadn't been tampered with and what made it even better was Madam Pomfrey reporting that she would live through the delivery.
" That's great to hear!" Minerva said. " I would hate our beloved Hermione to die and leave Severus in a roomful of girls."
All the women laughed.
However the next day Madam Pomfrey reported that Neville had died. This left Remus without a Herbology teacher. Remus sighed, and then headed down to see the Snape family.
