Chapter 5: Dinner with the enemy

Hermione was going down the stairs and up to the front door, no one came yet, but Snape was waiting nevertheless. "Ok dad, anyone arrived yet," Hermione asked casually. Snape gave her a look that made her squirm and said, "This is the first time you call me dad since you were taken" He said it to himself more than anyone and zoned out,

*Flashback*

A younger Severus Snape was running all around the house, a little giggle could be heard from the three year old under the table. "I wonder where my little troublemaker is." A second later he pounced under the table, but she wasn't there. He got up and straightened his robes, now they were certainly going to be late for Lucius's dinner party. He turned around and gasped when he saw her standing there. She ran up to him and he picked her up. She said, "I wuv you daddy."

*End of Flashback*

He focused again and found Hermione hugging him and hugged her back. He let go just as the doorbell rang. Hermione cowered behind her dad just as the Malfoys and Zabinis came in. The boys were in a very heated argument about Quidditch and the adults were exchanging greetings.

"Now Severus, where is your lovely little girl?" Narcissa Malfoy inquired, in a kind voice Hermione didn't know she had. Gathering all her Gryffindor courage she stepped out from her safe place and said, "Right here Mrs. Malfoy"

The ladies let out a girlish squeal and started cooing over her. Mr. Malfoy extended out his hand and shook hers, "Pleasure to meet you Hermione, or did we meet before?" "Um, actually we did meet before, you see, I was Hermione Granger" "I should have known, he used a muggle-born identity, did you know Draco?" "Yes" Just then Narcissa asked, "Boys, does the name Hermione Granger ring any bells?" "Um, yeah, she is the muggle-born girl I told you about, the one who punched me. Merlin that girl can punch!" Malfoy answered, rubbing his nose. "Well, you had it coming mate, you can be such a prat sometimes" Zabini teased. "Thank you for your gracious compliment, Blaise"

The adults were laughing now, partly because of the bickering and partly because they still haven't noticed Hermione. "So my punches hurt, I thought I was weak" Hermione asked playfully. "Merlin Granger, is that really you, the brightest witch of the century? Ok just to make sure, name three types of trolls" Malfoy quizzed "Mountain, Forest and River Trolls, is that the best question you could ask" Hermione mocked. He was only trying to joke you know, Arsenio told her Try to be nice Hermione, they are very nice people if you get to know them, Malik continued. Ok, sorry, I was being too harsh, Hermione regretted, Mal…Draco broke the silence, "Yeah, probably not the best question, that is why I am second best, second to Hermione Gra…Snape."

The doorbell rang again signaling the arrival of the rest of the guests. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Parkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass" Arsenio greeted them with a bow. Then Parkinson wanted to welcome Hermione with a hug and Hermione thought. Does she really expect me to hug her? Malik replied, She is trying to be nice you know Hermione stepped up and went to hug her, Parkin…Pansy whispered, "Welcome home Hermione" Zabi…Blaise said, "Guess who this is Pansy, this is Hermione Granger"

"Thanks Mr. Obvious, of course it is Granger, but now she is a Snape, that is why it took her time to agree on hugging me, that is why I was meant for Ravenclaw house." Pansy concluded "Stop playing it smart Pansy" Blaise pouted. Hermione brushed off the comment and asked, "Then why are you in Slytherin?" "You know our parents are spies right? Well that means that we all have to be in Slytherin, so, our parents agreed with Dumbledore that the sorting hat was to put us in Slytherin, but that was not the house we were supposed to be in, Draco, Astoria and Blaise should have been Gryffindors, and Daphne and I in Ravenclaw, none of us are actually in Slytherin"

"What about Crabbe and Goyle and Nott?" "Their parents are actually Death Eaters, we hang out with them just for a picture" Draco replied lazily. Diner went quite smoothly from then, Hermione figured that they were not such bad people and then her dad gathered them all after a night full of activities, "Thank you all for gracing us with your company today, but, none of you should not be telling anyone about Hermione, you should not be seen together, no one can know that you are friends, Hermione, they have to be mean, arrogant, anything horrible you can name, am I understood?" He eyed everyone including the adults and everyone nodded their consent. "We can still meet in secret you know" Hermione tried to cheer everyone up. "That's the spirit Hermione" Daphne agreed. They all left, and Hermione went to bed with another thought in her mind, she still did not ask her dad about to World cup, will he agree? And, it has been two days already, where is her mother?
