Chapter 6: Tearful Story Time
Hermione woke up with a smile, she had a new life, new friends and a new and loving family. Thinking about it now, she realized that she was always a little distant from her foster parents. She got dressed for another day in Snape Manor. After breakfast Hermione thought she would get on with her questions, "Hey dad" Snape again was startled by the use of his title, but smiled warmly and said, "Yes princess?" Arsenio, Malik and Ara started laughing while clutching their sides and wiping away their tears of laughter. "What was that again dad?" Hermione asked, trying to keep a straight face, but the sides of her lips twitched up. "I always nicknamed you princess, since you were my princess, what did you want to ask me?" "Oh, I was wondering two things actually, but I am not sure how to ask, Ok, Mr. Weasley got tickets for the Quidditch World Cup, and Ron, Harry and Ginny all want me to come, so can I go?" "I…I am not sure I want you to go, it…it might be dangerous", he said rubbing his left arm, where his dark mark was. "But why? Ron and Harry will be there, not to mention six wizards who are of age" "ok I guess it will not hurt, the last game I went to was where I met your mother", He said distantly. "Oh yes, that gets us to my second question, where is mom?" "Um, Hermione, your…mother is…dead" Hermione shifted her gaze between her siblings then back to her father, they all had silent tears running down their faces, even she was silently weeping. Her father then begins a tearful story time.
*Flashback*
A flash of lightning burned a pathway through the storming sky, rain furiously pounding at the skylight, as if wanting to be let inside. Unable to comprehend anything a scarred looking Severus Snape takes off down the hallway, his wife, Kyla shaking at his side. As if something snapped inside her, she jerked to a halt and grabbed his shirt, stopping him as well. Turning anxiously back to her, he grabs her hand, "Kyla, what are you doing? We have to get out of here!" "Severus it is the only way, take them and go, I have to protect Hermione!" Kyla seemed unnaturally scarred, she was always the calm one. She takes Hermione, and the twins start crying. A 5 year old Ara senses something is wrong and attempts to pull her sister back. Kyla bends down and calms down her children. 3 year old Hermione squirms down and runs at Severus and he picks her up, "Daddy, can you take cawe of Awsenio and Mawik and Awa pwease?" "Yes princess, I will take care of them, will you take care of yourself and mommy?" "Yes daddy" and these were the last words Severus heard from his daughter, or his wife for he went to the library at the sound of a scream and a flash of green light and found that his daughter was gone. Kyla's body lied on the ground, unmoving, she was gone forever. The boys were running all over the house searching for their sister, and Ara was crying hard, trying to shake her mom awake, her best friend was gone. Severus lost his youngest daughter, his princess
*End of Flashback*
Severus ended the story with foggy eyes, and hugged his children, he needs to make sure to compensate for their loss, he needs to act like a mother to them, no matter how weird that might seem.
