The Burrow. Day. Harry sat outside the house alone. Ron helps George in the shop. Mr. Weasley at the Ministry of Magic. And Mrs Weasley in the kitchen, cleaning.

For months he hadn't heard any news from Hermione. He was so worried about her and the baby. Was she alright? Does she need help? Where is she? Somewhere in Australia and he needs to find her.

Next week's Harry works in the Ministry of Magic as Auror. Such a young age but.. he need to paid Mr. and Mrs Weasley of their kindness since he were boy.

He can't stay there for free or.. welfare something sounds like that. Weasley's and Hermione are always there for him.

His eyes peer up the sky, and notice from afar a flying owl. The owl headed toward the Burrow and where he sat. The owl is getting closer, and lands beside him. There is a letter on owl beak.

Unfamiliar owl. Harry took the envelope, then ran inside the kitchen then back to the owl and gave the owl treats. Then it flew away.

Harry watches the owl left. His eyes down on the envelope. It's from Hermione Granger.

"Mrs Weasley!"

Harry folded the letter back inside the envelope. He looked up. "Well at least we know she alright". he looked back down. "She now lives in Australia".

"Australia?!" Molly shouted exactly behind Harry, he jolted. "Doesn't she want to come back here, Harry?"

He shrugs. "Hermione connects her chimney to ours, we can visit her if we want". Harry turns to Molly. "She got her mum and dad back".

"Hermione needs her parents, Molly". Arthur smiles. "I missed them. Hermione says we can visit her, why don't we?" he pointed at the fireplaces. "She needs her real parents and we do our job to look after her and the baby. She hadn't forgotten about us dear".

Molly walks to the kitchen. "What are you trying to do my dear?" ask Arthur.

"If Hermione wants us to visit then I should make something before we're going. Oh, she loves my meat sandwich. Pregnant or not she loves it".

"Brilliant. We waited for Ron then we go".

Hermione's apartment. She is in the kitchen preparing her food. Baby Henry inside his room sleeping. Suddenly Harry comes out from the fireplaces, looking around the room. Nice view. He saw someone moving inside the kitchen.

"Hermione?"

"Harry?" She ran back to the living room, smiling as she saw him. Both hug. "Oh my gosh I miss you, Harry. Where are the others?"

"Mrs Weasley wanted to come but she had an emergency. So, Ron. And she made you a meat sandwich. She says you like it very much".

Harry hands her the sandwich, she takes it and begins to eat. "Nice place you find, Hermione". Harry walks to the balcony. "The view is beautiful. Are you sure you want to live here all by yourself".

She nods. "Well, I can stop you right?" She shakes her head. "How is it going? Your mum and dad".

"They lived here too. Not in my apartment. I mean other houses. Took an hour from here".

She and Harry took a seat. "You know I have too, Harry. I cast Obliviate on my parents because I wanted to keep them safe from the Death Eaters and Voldemort. By ensuring he had no reason to come knocking. I made my promise to find them and reverse the magic and I returned their memories".

She wiped her tears. "Everything has changed now, Harry. I have a new life with my son and my parents. Without Snape. Everything is change".

"Not for me. You still Hermione Granger we all know". he smiled. "So, how do you find out about me being an Auror".

"I applied for the job too. House-elves. I overheard them talking about you and Ron". She smiled. "Auror. Good choice".

Finish her sandwich Molly bought for her. "Sometimes I feel Snape is still alive and looking for me out there".

"We buried him, didn't we? He cannot survive from that Nagini poisonous venom. We saw that snake bite his neck. How are you so sure that Snape will survive after that attack".

She shrugs. "I don't. I just feel him somewhere". Harry is eyeing her. "It felt weird".

"It feels like you need someone to look after you and Henry".

"You mean I should start dating? Who's boy will want to date me, Harry. I bet no one. In wizardry they know me as a war hero. In the muggle world.. I am nothing. I'm just Hermione Granger who is having her child, fatherless".

Harry sighs. Hermione spoke again. "What else will they think about me, Harry?"

"Have you visited Eileen? Snape's mother".

"Not since I found out I was pregnant. Thank you for reminding me, Harry. I do want to visit her. What left behind part of Snape's is Henry. Her grandson. Snape's son".

She breathed. "Maybe you were right about dating. Whatsoever.. I may not need someone beside me but Henry does. He needs a father".

"I'm suggesting Ron. But I can't. You never love Ron. I suggest someone.. but I don't know who. What about Cormac? I hear he is still waiting for you. When he found out about you and Snape.. he totally went crazy. He can't believe it happened. Hermione Granger we all know wasn't like that".

She snorts. "I wasn't just saying. I'm shocked too".

"Maybe I'm not the Hermione Granger all of you know". silent. "Cormac? His vile. Still.. he never gives up. And I can't just date him".

"Take your time, Mione. Don't push yourself, just take your time to accept Cormac. Who knows maybe he can be Henry's dad one day. Who knows right?"

Hermione nods her head. Her eyes up the sky where she could see from where she sat. The weather is nice. Very nice and cold. Smile for no reason, turn to Harry.

"I'll try. I mean I should give him a chance". She smiled.

It was a town with several streets of identical brick, terraced, houses. It was located near a dirty river, the bank of which was strewn with litter.

There was a disused mill with a tall chimney in this town. Snape returned to Spinner's End. He didn't know if Eileen knew about his death, and suddenly came back to meet her after years.

Snape looks confused. Afraid and scared. He stood in front of the door then swung it open.

Snape's home contained a dark, enclosed sitting room, furnished with threadbare furniture, a dim candle-lit lamp hanging from the ceiling, and walls covered in books.

The house stood at least two stories high, as a hidden door set in the wall of books revealed a narrow, ascending staircase, while another that led to a storeroom where elf-made wine was kept.

As all the doors were completely hidden, the first room upon entry had the feeling of a prison cell. Although originally a Muggle household under the patriarchy of Tobias Snape, when Severus took over it, he apparently renovated it to fall in line with a wizard's residence, as the light source in the sitting room was a candle-lit lamp instead of electrical light fixtures.

He stayed there during the summers between school years at Hogwarts. It is likely that his salary as a Professor and Head of House enabled him to purchase another home, but he considered Hogwarts to be his true home.

Until he saw Eileen wandering around the place and forgot who she was. Snape took her in. And took care of her.

As for his father Tobias?

"Mother?" as he entered the house. He saw Eileen sleeping on the couch. Approaching. How he misses her. Missing Hermione and his child. Snape held his tears. "Mother?"

Eileen slowly awakened from her deep sleep, hearing the voice she recognised. Can't be true.. it can't be Snape. She shot up, seeing Snape standing right in front of her before she passed out. Snape shakes his head.

Will his Hermione reaction be the same as Eileen's?
