Part 4 - Reactions
Hermione and Seth was walking, holding hands it seems so normal and so them to do now, and talking to each other animately as they did so, and didnt notice they were soon inside of the Great Hall, most of the occupants were staring at the two with shock and wonder, aswell disbelief, as Hermione seems to first smile then burst into loud laughter, as the man next to her was Seth as he presented himself as, and he too was laughing at whatever made the two laugh like that.
Severus just smiled to himself, so did many others of the teachers, they now knew who Seth was to him, and how happy that man made his father too. Ron, Harry and Ginny shared looks of disbelief, anger and somewhat betrayal, as the two then walked upon the front of the hall, and was allowed to sit at a side-table by the the teacher's table.
Soon after after that whispers and talking were around the two, unoblivius to the chatter and looks that they were getting, and that Ronald was redder than before too. Harry just gapped at them, while Ginny had jealousy on her face and was furious for her brother's sake, as he had told her that he had feelings for Hermione, and to see she didnt even like him back unless she was charmed by that man called Seth Swan-Snape.
She shared a look with her brother and Harry and they both nodded as to help out with whatever had happened to their friend, and future girlfriend of Ronald's. After a while, Dumbledore stood up and said
"Before you are let go for bedtime and doing homeworks for the night, I have few things to tell you all, and that is by permission of both Snape's here, and that is that Seth Swan-Snape is an American boy, but also a Shape-shifter, and his form is of a very large wolf, and what they have well I will let himself tell you."
Seth smiled, as he stood up and Hermione stood by his side, making most looked confused or worried of her being up there with him too, and he said
"Like Albus just told you, I am a shape-shifter, as my mother was an Native American woman, and with her blood came this life of being a shape-shifting wolf. And what we also have is Imprinting. Now to what that is, well it is how we as wolves find our true mate of life, and the one who will ground us to the earth but also the one that we will eventually fall in love with and have children with in the future. Hermione here with me, is my Imprint, therefore she is now off-limits, as my Imprinting on her is like your Marriage Contracts between families. Therefore she is not able to be with anyone else in the romantic sense, as it will lead me and her to such bond one day. Anyone who has feelings or what you call feelings for her or myself despite you don't know a damn worth about me or how I am like as person will end here and now. For you are not allow to break us apart, for it will lead to some kind of punishment for even daring do so. Now I am done."
He then took Hermione's hand in his, and the two walked out of the now silent Great Hall, while Ronald, Harry and Ginny shared looks of disbelief and shock amongst themselves and though that they would still try to break those two apart, as Hermione belonged to Ron and him alone not some of this shapeshifting moron as in Seth Swan-Snape.
Albus said
"Now then, off you go."
And all of them went off to their respective houses, and when those three came to Gryffindor Common Room, they thought Hermione and that man would be there, but to everyone's surprise she was not there nor in the bedrooms or bathrooms. It made them believe she was elsewhere, but where. Harry checked his map, and found no sign of where Hermione or this Seth was at around the castle, and he frowned and sighed for now. Ronald was just furious with everything, and Ginny had jealousy on her face.
