Chapter 9

Hermione stared at Ron.

"What do you mean 'where does this leave us'?"

"Us." Ron stared back at her "You know you and me?"

Hermione sighed "Ron I care about you. You're my best mate we've been friends for decades now. Right now I'm really lost with all this Izzy and Snape stuff."

"Izzy stuff" Ron interrupted her

"Huh?"

"You said 'Izzy and Snape stuff'. I thought this was just about your daughter not her father." Ron just assumed she hated Snape. "But, back to my original question. Where does his leave us?"

It was at this moment that Harry walked up.

"You guys ready to go?" Harry smiled. Having no idea what their conversation had been about.

"Yes" Hermione answered a too little fast.

"Alright" Harry said and before Ron could object they were all back at Godric's Hollow.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Izzy,

I know we had planned on me spending the night there tomorrow. But…do you think your dad would let you spend the night here again? Dad has to go on a business trip with someone. And Mum hates staying at home alone. So do you think your dad would let you? Otherwise I don't think I can leave my mum. Call me as soon as you can.

Angie

P.S.

I would use our phone now if it weren't for the fact my grandfather broke it. But, Mum went to get a new one so by the time you get this it'll be up and running.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Izzy handed the letter to her Dad. Snape took the letter and read.

"Can I go?"

Snape smiled eh had hoped they would be able to stay there. But, he did enjoy some of his last night alone.

"I suppose"

"Go ahead and call Angie and tell her you can."

"Thanks" Izzy pecked her dad on the cheek and ran to get the phone and call Angie.

After ringing a few times someone answered the phone.

"Hello" it was Mrs. Potter. There was someone laughing in the background.

"Hi is Angie there?"

"Yes," Ginny laughed "let me get her Izzy"

"Thanks"

As Izzy waited she could hear Mrs. Potter yelling at someone. "It could have happened to anyone. It just happened to happen to me that's all."

Someone who sounded like Mr. Potter said "But, the fact that it was you dear who did it just kills me. I know it could have happened to anyone but it's hilarious. Right Mione tell her?"

Then the biggest shock was hearing another voice saying "Ginny…"

"Forget it. I need to take the phone to Izzy"

Then there was quiet.

Was that Hermione...? I mean Mum…? Oh whatever! Was that her? No… no way it couldn't have been.

Izzy's thoughts were interrupted by Angie answering the phone.

"Hey! Can you come tomorrow?"

"Yeah"

"Great!" Angie said then all of the sudden she started chuckling.

"Are you guys having a laugh potion together or something?" Izzy asked. She hated not knowing what was so funny.

Angie chuckled again "You know how I said my mum had to go buy a new phone?"

"Yep"

"Well instead of buying a real phone she bought something called a cellophone… I think that's what it's called. But anyway dad had to take it back so while he was taking it back he sent her to buy a real phone. He said it had to say cordless home phone on it. And that when she got it she wouldn't have to sign any papers. So dad went and returned the phone. Mum bought a toy phone!"

Izzy was laughing now.

"So dad had to go back and buy real phone."

"Wow, well at least you got a real phone so I could call you"

"Yeah" Angie smiled then said "Huh? Oh ok Aunt Hermione I'll be right there."

Izzy gasped.

"Hey Izzy I got to go. But how about mom and I come get you at like 6 and then we'll do a girls night out. Sound good?"

"Yeah" Izzy said dumb struck "Ok yeah I gotta go too."

"Alright bye" Izzy and hung up.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The next day Angie and Ginny came and picked up Izzy. Snape hugged his daughter and watched his daughter leave with a Potter. An image he had never thought he would see.

Snape sat down to read his book again. He sat and read for a few hours but what seemed liked to him only minutes. He looked at the clock and realized it was already nine o'clock. Snape got up from his chair and went in the kitchen to whip up something to eat. He used his wand and whipped up some Tomato Basil Pasta. He was sitting down at the table when all of the sudden the door bell rang.

If that's Teddy he's is gonna wish he never learned how to ring a door bell!

Snape answered the door and was in shock "Hi"

"Hey" Hermione said holding a stack of books "I was brining over some books I thought Izzy might like."

"Oh yeah" Snape said then shook his head "Do you want to come in?"

"Thanks" she said just as the books were about to spill out of her hands.

"Here let me"

"Oh yeah well…"

"I got 'em"

With a thud the books fell on the floor.

"Here" Snape said with a smile as he waved his wand and sent the books to Izzy's room.

"Thanks" Hermione smiled too "Well I guess I better get going"

"Um… Hermione have you eaten dinner?"

"No not yet"

"Would you like to stay and have dinner with me?" Snape asked

Hermione thought about it for a moment then decided "Yeah I would like that"

"Great" Snape said as he used his wand silently to turn the dinning table into a nice display.

The two sat down to dinner the talk flowed easily between them.

So by the time they had finished their food and were heading out to the living room they were getting along great.

They sat down on the couch and Snape opened a bottle of white wine. Poured a glass for him and Hermione.

"You know" Snape said "I thought you handled yourself very well the other day with Izzy's question."

She whacked him on the shoulder "Severus Snape have you lowered yourself to Minerva? Listening in on other peoples conversations."

"No" he chuckled "not that low. I don't think even Voldermort could go as low as her in eaves dropping."

Hermione chuckled "I'm so glad we can joke about those days now." The smile she had had was starting to disappear.

"Yeah" Snape said "So what do you have planned for your lessons?"

That started Hermione off. She went on and on and on. But, Snape wasn't paying attention to what she was saying he was watching her lips. Those lips he had just kissed the other day. Those soft sweet lips. So many times he had dreamed of her coming back and here she was right in front of him. When all of the sudden he leaned out and kissed her. This was the second time he had done this and he didn't what came over him to make him do it. She kissed him back though so he knew he could go on. They went on like this for awhile.

Then Hermione muffled "Severus should we be doing this?"

"Hermione we both over analyze things like this all the time. Let's just not think for once"

"Whatever you say, sir" She smiled.

They went on a little while longer when Snape said

"You know I've got a room."

Hermione smiled "You thought you were gonna get lucky tonight?"

"I never dreamed I'd get this lucky"

With that Hermione got up and walked backwards to Snape's room.

"You remembered?" Snape muffled

"I never forgot"

With that Snape picked her up and placed her on the bed.
