Disclaimer: Nothing that is of Harry Potter is mine, only this plot.
A/N: I'm abit put out that NO ONE had once in their reviews remotely wondered what Snape was yelling at Dumbledore for! (Author pouts) I had also promised a reviewer that I would reveal the two unknown people in chapter 1, and here it is, right along with a plot thickener. Hopes you like!
Chapter 4: Oh My God!
Minerva McGonagoll ran from the Quidditch pitch to the castle in her tabby cat form, transforming back to human form as she reached the Gargoyle that guarded the Headmaster's office. Despite the fact that she was gasping for air and clutching her side, she barged into Dumbledore's office wearing a huge smile. It had not surprised her that he too was wearing a rather large smile. Seeing that it was he who had noticed the behavior between the two Head students on their first meeting, telling her that he believed that these two would be likely to flip the Wizarding world upside down if they put their minds to it and actually worked together. Even though both Professors believed that Draco Malfoy was a boy not to be ignored, which was just what Hermione Granger was doing to the fullest extent.
"Albus, I believe that some events we did not plan for have been expressed, causing our assumptions of the Head Boy and Girl's behavior to change abit sooner than we planned for."
Dumbledore let out a hearty chuckle. "Minerva, if you a referring to Mr. Weasley's challenge, then yes. This was most unexpected.
However, we both know that House's are not allowed to switch team players. I dare say that it would be quite a scandal." His blue
eyes twinkling brightly.
Professor McGonagoll faked shock, dramatically raising a hand to her heart. "Albus! I hope that you aren't suggesting........You wouldn't be above my House's team, would you?"
A knock at the door caused both scheming Professors to jump. Severus Snape poked his head through the door, his face set in sheer determination. Dumbledore dismissed McGonagoll, stating that he owed Professor Snape a private conversation. When the transfiguration teacher closed the door behind her, Snape folded his arms over his chest. A very intimadating look spread across his face. The younger wizard began to tap his foot, waiting for his employer to come up with an explanation as to why they had not been able to have this conversation that Severus Snape was no longer willing to let go unsaid.
"Well?"
"Severus, good to see you." Dumbledore motioned for him to sit in a chair, which was denied. "Lemon drop?"
"Quit stalling old man," Snape sneered. "I want to know now. I have searched all summer, with no luck I might add, now I want you to tell me NOW! You have recently discovered something that belongs to me. But you won't tell me what, declaring that I must find out on my own. Now tell me where my daughter is!"
"Very well, Severus. I came across some news after the war about your daughter. I felt that the blow would come easier if you found out on your own. I know how hard you have search this summer for the daughter you never knew exsisted, and I promised that if you had no luck, I would tell you."
"I believe that I have an idea, but no proof and it is utterly absurd." Severus said. "Now WHO?"
"Sit down, Severus. This will surely knock you off your rocker......"
"Quit stalling." Snape warned.
Dumbldore rubbed his temples, knowing that he would have a headache before Professor Snape left. And Snape would probably need a trip to the Infirmary. "Okay Severus. Your daughter is here at Hogwart's."
Snape had to sit down. The idea that his only child, his daughter, had been under his nose the whole time was causing his heart to skip beats. He wanted to cause the people responsible for his child's disappearance greatly deserved harm. He felt ashamed that he had missed so much of his daughter's life. He had missed everything, including her sorting into Hogwart's.
"It's Miss Granger, isn't it?" he finally breathed.
Dumbledore smiled. "Yes Severus. Miss Hermione Granger is indeed your daughter. I noticed that while she was in the Infirmary after the war, that the magic count in her blood was not that of a muggleborn witch. She was spawned from a pureblood father and muggle mother. Her blood pattern followed yours close enough for me to do afew tests. They exposed her as your true daughter."
"MOTHER FUCKER!" Snape yelled before promptly introducing himself to the floor, crying like a two year old.
Dumbledore watch his most feared Professor, the man who had faced Voldemort, cry as if it would help ease the newest burden.
The burden of a new found emotion that slowly sank into his heart.
