Chapter 7
The next day…
"Uhhn" was all Izzy and Angie could say the next morning.
"What is this feeling" Izzy asked holding her stomach. Her dad let her have sweets but she usually never ate this many.
"It's called a sugar hang over" Ginny said handing each of them a glass of gross green potion. "Here this will help you feel better."
Izzy and Angie looked at each other make faces.
"Oh, just drink it" Ginny huffed.
Izzy knew what potion it was she also knew how gross it tasted. Her dad made her take it when she had the flu last year. She took one more look at it then chugged it.
"How bad was it?" Angie asked still not even thinking about drinking it.
"Just chug it and it'll be easier" Izzy said as she gagged.
Angie looked at it again then chugged it same as Izzy.
"Belch," Angie said "I better feel better"
"You will trust me" Harry said walking into the room "So, who wants breakfast? I got the batter for the pancakes ready."
Izzy gagged.
"Dad please don't say the word batter. We had a little to much batter last night"
"What are you talking about you made cupcakes and brownies? A lot of cupcakes and brownies. There's no way you could have even tasted the batter with as many cupcakes and brownies as are in there."
Izzy blushed and Angie looked at her parents with a smile that she only used when she feared they would ground her.
"Actually Izzy and I used my wand and found a spell to magic up the brownies and cupcakes we ha a little trouble stopping the brownies and cupcakes though. That's why there are so many of them. And we ate the cake and brownie batter. Pretty funny right? He he" she weakly chuckled hoping she wouldn't get in trouble.
Angelique Lily Potter! You know better! You know you're not supposed to use your wand yet you haven't even started school!" Ginny was yelling.
"Wow!" Harry said "Was it a transfiguration charm?"
Angie and Izzy nodded they both had used Angie's wand.
"Wow McGonagall will be proud. That's a hard spell for a third year to learn. Much less a first year. Did you both do it?" Harry asked amazed. The girls both nodded
"Wow! Man Izzy you're just like your moth…Father." Harry caught himself before he said anything else.
"Harry!" Ginny had missed the whole parent thing "You're encouraging this! We don't need the ministry on us!"
Harry looked at her "Like the ministry would know. All they know is that there are two wizards living here it could have been either of us. Besides seeing as I saved the world. I think I could get her out of it."
"Ugh" Ginny huffed out of the room.
"More and more like your mother everyday!" Harry called after her as he left the room "Oh hey girls" Harry said leaning back into the room. "get dressed Izzy's dad will be here soon"
"Alright"
"Hey dad" Angie came out of her room and shut the door behind her "I wanted to ask you something"
"Sure sweetheart what is it?"
"Well you know how we have that dinner tonight?"
Harry nodded dreading where this was going.
"Can Professor Snape and Izzy come too?"
"Well Angie… it's really only going to be family. They might not feel comfortable."
"But you said that Professor Snape knew all of the same people as you. You said he helped during the war. So he would know everyone. Plus it's only going to be grownups. So I would have someone to talk to. Please, please!" Angie asked as she made the same face as her mother the night before.
"Not you too! You and your mother have got to stop doing that! Well I guess you can invite them when Professor Snape get here" Harry said knowing that Snape would say no.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Snape knocked on the door.
Harry answered "Hey come on …"
"We need to talk" Snape said as he walked into the house "before my daughter knows I'm here"
Oh shit! What happened? "Of course here come into my office here"
Snape stalked past him into the room. Harry walked in and shut the door. "So" Harry said sitting down in one of his chairs "what's up?" He couldn't believe he was saying this to Snape. This whole Snape thing was going to take some getting used to.
"Don't play dumb Potter. Do you know who was at my house last night? Do you know who Izzy's mother is?"
"Yeah, but if it helps I only just found out."
"Well then you can guess who was at my house last night."
"Please tell me it wasn't Hermione"
"Yes. Listen Potter I don't want Izzy to find out who Hermione is before Hermione tells her."
"That she's her mother?"
"Yes you idiot." Snape said. He may be guest but that was kind of an obvious answer.
Little did the two men know Angie was standing right outside the door. She had gone up to listen in hopes that Izzy and Professor Snape could stay for dinner.
Wow. I can't tell Izzy that would be wrong. But, I know she wishes her parents were together. Even though she doesn't know her mother. So since I can't tell who her who she is I can get her parents back together.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Snape and Harry walked out the office just in time for Angie and Izzy to walk up.
"Dad" Izzy said "Can we come back for dinner. The Potter's invited us. They're having a few people over and they said you would know most of them. Please can we come. Please! Please?"
"Maybe" he said smiling and taking her bag " Let's go home first and maybe we will."
Snape and Harry nodded to each other and Snape and Izzy left. Angie hoped they came not only so she could see her best friend but also so she could work on her plan.
As Snape and Izzy walked out the door Snape thought to himself. She can spend the night there and be Potter's kids' best friend. But there's no way in hell I'm going over there for dinner. With the whole "Potter Family and Friend club".
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When Snape and Izzy got home there was a package sitting on the porch.
"What is it Daddy?" Izzy asked as she came up to him.
"It's… it's a package."
"Okay before I say the obviously needed duh. Who's it for?" Izzy asked she figured it was for him but there was always the possibility it was for her.
"For you" Snape handed it to her. He wasn't sure if he wanted to though. These days he never knew who it could be from.
Izzy took it and opened up the package. Inside was a gorgeous necklace. There was a pendant on it with a gold lion and ruby eyes and a sliver snake with emerald eyes intertwined to form a heart. It was made of white gold. Izzy gasped.
"Who's it from?" Snape asked fearing the answer. He remembered the necklace form what felt like another life. He had given that to Hermione.
Hermione was two months into the pregnancy and she was sitting in Snape's quarters with her swollen feet propped up on the coffee table.
"Honey do you want anything to drink?" Snape asked from the kitchen.
"Um… yeah. A frozen coke would be nice with a splash of cherry." Hermione said a hungry look on her face. " Oh, and pickles!"
"Pickles?" Snape was confused "And what the hell is a frozen coke?"
"It's a muggle thing. It's made from a drink called coke but it's frozen. And they also have cherry flavored ones too. I like to mix the two together though." Hermione looked like she was gonna die if she didn't get what she wanted.
"Where can I find a 'frozen coke'? Do they have them at the Three Broomsticks?"
"No, they have them in a restaurant called McDonald's" Hermione looked crazy
"Where can I find a McDonald's?" Snape wasn't sure he wanted to know.
"There's one across the street from The Leaky Cauldron."
Snape smiled he had been hoping that he would have an excuse to go to the Leaky Cauldron. There was something special for Hermione he had to pick up.
"Alright" he said putting on his coat " I'll be back in an hour or so"
"Oh thank you!" Hermione said "If you're going to McDonald's will you get me a number 2 with cheese and ketchup only? Oh and a side of pickles?"
"You're just lucky I like you." Snape smiled as he got up a left.
"Thank you!" Hermione smiled "I love you!"
"I love you too" Snape said as he disappeared through the fire.
As he said through the green flames. Finally stopping in the Leaky Cauldron.
"Tom do you have it?" Snape asked the bar tender.
Tom nodded pulling the velvet box out from under the counter. "Is it what you wanted?"
Snape nodded thanked and paid Tom. Then left for the McDonald's. Snape found that he liked the thing called a "cheeseburger" he also like "french fries". But, what she really liked was the "frozen coke". He got Hermione her food and then got himself almost double what he got her. He also remembered the extra pickles.
Snape got home to find Hermione sleeping.
"Honey?" He patted her softly "Honey?"
All of the sudden a hand reached out to smack him.
Hermione was mumbling something.
"What?" Snape chocked as he tried to breathe
"Mum I don't need woken up yet. We don't need to leave for the train yet. It won't leave for hours!"
Snape chuckled "Honey wake up. You're at school. Wake up I brought you your food."
"What" Hermione sat up "man I was out."
"Honey?" Snape said still choking "Can you let go of me?"
"Oh" Hermione smiled "yeah" she let go of his collar.
Here he handed her her food. Then pulled out his four cheeseburgers, two super size fries, and one super size coke, and a super size frozen coke.
Hermione laughed "Honey were you a little hungry?"
"I LOVE this food! How did I live with out this for so long?"
The two sat in silence as they ate. After they finished eating they sat on the couch together. Snape was holding her as close as he possibly could.
"I have something for you" he sad pulling out the velvet box from earlier he handed it to her.
Hermione looked him as she took it. "Thank you. You didn't have to get me anything you know"
She opened the box and inside was the most beautiful necklace Hermione had ever seen.
"Oh it's lovely" she gasped
"I thought it would work. Since symbolizes our love. Even though we come from different worlds. Different houses… very different houses. We both still love each other. One day when our daughter starts school I thought you could give it to her. So she knows which ever house she's sorted into. We will always love her. And that we will always love each other. I love you so much and I just wanted to get you something to show you that." Snape said.
Hermione wiped a single tear from her eye. "I love you too."
He held her close they sat there for awhile in silence again.
"So" Hermione said finally breaking the silence "you think it's going to be a girl?"
"I know it is" Snape smiled
"How's that?"
"Because I might have slipped you some paternity potion." Snape said hoping she wouldn't get mad. If she could choke him in her sleep, God only knows what she could do conscious.
"When?" Hermione smiled
"A few days ago"
"I thought we were gonna wait till she was born" She looked at him as only a soon- to-be mother would.
"I couldn't wait to any longer. I had to know, it was killing me."
"Mhmm" she was still making the face.
"Well I personally am glad we're having a girl" he said with an air to his voice.
"Why's that?"
"Because now I know she'll be just like you."
"You know sucking up won't get you on my good side again.
"It was worth a try" he smiled
"The note says it's from my mum" Izzy said pulling Snape out of his memory
"What?"
"It says 'To my Beautiful Daughter…. Love Mum.' That's what is says. Can I keep it Dad?"
"Yes. But listen I'm going to have to drop you off at Professor Dumbledore's house for a little bit"
"Why?" Izzy looked hurt.
"Because I need to go somewhere." Snape was surprised Izzy usually loved going to her "Grandpa D's".
"No not that. Why did she send this to me?" Izzy sounded very hurt.
Snape looked into his daughters eyes he felt terrible that she had to go through this.
"I don't know" Snape was going to kill Hermione for this.
"I thought you said she left when I was little. That she couldn't be a mom"
Snape never liked talking about Hermione. They had only done this once about a year ago when Izzy had asked him and kept asking him. All he had told her was that Hermione had left and couldn't be her mum then or right now.
"I did tell you that" he said this was very fragile territory he was treading on.
"Then I don't want to wear it"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Sell it or something"
Snape walked to his room and set it on his mantle.
Snape grabbed her hand and they apparated to Dumbledore's house.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Severus" Dumbledore said jovially "and Elizabeth."
Izzy showed a little smile. She loved the way he always called her Elizabeth.
"Hello Dumbledore" Snape said " Can I speak to you for a moment?"
"Of course" Dumbledore motioned to his office "Elizabeth please help yourself to some candy." He waved his wand and there was every single kind of candy from HoneyDukes.
"Thanks!" Izzy said diving for the chocolate frogs.
"Dumbledore" Snape said that was the one thing he hated about letting Izzy stay with Dumbledore. He gave her anything and everything that she ever asked for. One time she almost came home with Fawkes.
"Come now Snape allow an old man his pleasure. You needed to talk to me"
"Yes" Snape responded and walked into the office.
"I need to go take care of something real quick. Could you watch Izzy for a little while?"
"Of course. Might I ask what it is you need to do?"
"I'm not sure of that myself. As soon as I know I will let you know."
"Alright. Just be safe."
"Thank you"
Snape got up and walked into the other room kissed his daughter and left.
"Grandpa D do you know who my mum is?" Izzy asked.
"No I am afraid I do not." Dumbledore said. "Why do you ask?"
"Well because I think that's who my dad is going to see right now."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Harry, Ginny, Angie, Ron, Sirius, Remus, Fred, George, and Hermione were all sitting down and having a nice dinner. Angie had been disappointed that Izzy and Professor Snape hadn't come.
"So Angie what'd you do today?" Sirius asked her as he passed the bread to George.
"My friend spent the night." Angie answered
"Sounds fun who was it?" George added to the conversation.
"My best friend Izzy Sna--- Ouch! Daddy you kicked me! But anyways my best friend Izzy Snape."
Angie answered before Harry could kick her and stop her again.
Sirius had dropped his glass of wine. George had dropped the basket of bread. Everyone froze. Except for Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"Snivillus has a daughter?" Sirius asked
"Who's Snivillus?" Angie asked
"That's what Uncle Remus, Your Grandfather, and I used to call-"
"No one" Harry finished for his Uncle and gave him a stare.
"What?" Sirius asked "I didn't know Snape had a daughter."
Harry leaned over "Let's not call Snape names in front of my daughter. I know we don't like him but as far as she knows he's the really nice dad of her best friend. Alright?"
"Alright" Sirius sighed "but only cause I love her."
All of the sudden someone banged on the door.
"I'll get it" Hermione said getting up she hadn't started eating and everyone else had.
She opened the door and there stood Snape.
"We need to talk. Now!" Snape said.
Hermione walked outside and closed the door behind her.
"How dare you!" Snape yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What? How dare I what?"
"I told you…I told you don't contact Izzy unless you were ready to be in full time. That was the deal when you left."
"I know. Why are you yelling at me?"
"Did you send Izzy a package?"
"Yes"
"So you don't deny sending her a package?"
"No"
"Do you think that might consist of contacting her?"
"Yes"
"So you're in for good?"
"Yes"
"That's not the way you needed to do it. You don't think that maybe you should meet her first?"
"That's what the letter said. It said 'To my beautiful daughter Love Mum. I hope you will come see me at the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow at noon."
"It did?" Snape looked confused.
"Yes, it did. So is she going to come?"
"I don't know she didn't sound too happy about hearing from you. Plus the fact she didn't tell me all of what the letter said."
Hermione frowned.
Snape looked at her and for a second he almost pitied her. But, only for a second. "Listen I'll see what I can do about getting her there tomorrow. Alright?"
Hermione smiled "Thank you"
"I'm not doing this for you" Snape said a little colder than he planned "One Izzy might decide she wants to know her mother. So she mine as well meet you now than later."
With that Snape left. Hermione sat on the porch crying for a little while. After about fifteen minutes later Ron and Harry came out Ron sat down next to her while Harry stood.
"Who was it?" Ron asked as he laid his jacket around Hermione's shoulders.
"Snape. He came to ask me about something." She was trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"What?" Harry asked he thought he knew the answer.
"I left Izzy a box with a present in it. And a note asking her to meet me tomorrow."
"Is she going to come?" Ron wondered more to himself them aloud.
"I think so" She had wiped all the tears away
Ron smiled "Then why are you crying?"
"Because he said that she really didn't to see me" Hermione was tearing up again.
Yes, Ron may have the emotional range of a teaspoon. But, he knew how to cheer Hermione up.
"I'm sure once she meets you she'll love you." He told her hoping this would make her feel better.
"You really think so?" Hermione brightened up.
"I know so and if you like Harry and I will come with you. Right Harry?"
"Of course" Harry said. In truth he didn't think that was such a good idea. But, he would talk to Ron about it later.
"You guys are the greatest." Hermione said as she hugged the two of them "Listen, I'm gonna go. So I'll see you guys tomorrow at noon at the Leaky Cauldron? Right?"
"Definitely" Ron said smiling he hoped everything would work out according to his plans.
Hermione smiled and with a POP she was gone.
