Family Of A Different Kind

By Miluiel

Chapter 3

If anyone had of thought to ask why exactly the inhabitants of Diagon Alley why it was that they were all in a state of shock, they would gladly tell you of the strange sight of one of the most disliked teachers of Hogwarts and his least favoured students walking down the street taking civilly and the fact that one Severus Snape was actually smiling. Well that was enough to shock anyone.

Of course the biggest shock could have been the fact that Harry Potter called Severus Snape Papa.

After shopping for over two hours the family finally made it back to their quarters at Hogwarts, "well that was fun" Harry deadpanned as he sunk onto the sofa making his mother laugh as his father nodded to show his agreement "Harry sweet your male, no male enjoys shopping" she said as she sorted out the bags "especially your father!" she added as an after thought receiving a glare from the man in question.

"Anyway I still can't believe you have muggle stuff in your house, you the bat of the dungeons" Harry exclaimed before taking cover behind the sofa he was sitting on just five seconds before as he registered what he had just said, to both his and Hermione's surprise he laughed a deep rich laugh that left everyone smiling with the warmth it brought to everyone who heard it.

Once he had calmed down Severus turned to his new son sternly "I am no a bat" his voice deadly "I am an ogre" he added seriously making Harry and Hermione stare at him with wide eyes while Severus and Minerva laughed at their expressions.

It was around that time that Minerva noticed her daughter clutching her stomach in obvious distress after a little questioning Hermione found that she could identify it as the fact that she was hungry for blood at which her father called her to him, "but Da we've both had so mush from you already!" she exclaimed with a look of concern upon her face "ah the joys of being a Shadow Vampire, Quick Re-charge, besides I ate before we left so there's no point in worrying now come here!" he gentle explained but still Hermione just stood there making no move to comply with her Da's order.

Severus opened his mouth but before he could say anything Minerva cut in "Mione obey your father!!!!" she said sternly while coming out of a side room where she'd taken a load of shopping bags, But Ma I…" Severus cut off his daughter with his strong demand "I will not tell you again Mione, come here…..NOW!!" as he raised his voice Mione rushed to obey, but when she reached her father she looked down.

Severus looked down at her "you need to obey my childe, I appreciate your concern but I told you that I was fine more than once and even your mother had to step in. you must obey when it comes to hunger especially at this early stage hunger should not be ignored. Will you trust me to do what is best for you?" he ended up asking, Mione nodded before launching herself at him and once again extending her fangs to feed.

As her wrapped his arms around his daughter Sev looked over at his son on the sofa, sensing that someone was watching him Harry looked up straight into the eyes of his father "what about you Harry, are you hungry?" he asked shaking his head he explained that while he was not hungry he was rather tired, at which time his mother lead him to the room that he and his sister would be sharing for the night before they were to leave for the cottage.

Mione followed not five minutes later.
