Three days later Dumbledore called Hermione into the office. Hermione thought that he would get onto her for killing Greyback, but all Dumbledore told her was that Remus was due to transform soon and Hermione would be needed to cover his classes.

"And what was Remus suppose to cover?" Hermione asked.

"Dementors, Sphinx, things like that," Dumbledore said. "And on the plus side no advance students."

"Thank god," Hermione muttered.

Dumbledore smiled at her.

"So how are things going in the baby department?"

Hermione sighed.

"So, so," Hermione said. "I'm still having morning sickness, but I can eat small bits of food."

"Have you written to your parents?"

Hermione shook her head, and then said, "I'm not sure that their ready to hear that their going to be grandparents. But I promise that I will inform them."

"Good, good," Dumbledore said.

"Hay, Lavender," Neville called out.

Lavender turned and saw Neville running up to meet her.

"Hello, Neville," Lavender said.

"Hi, I was wondering if you're okay?" he asked.

Lavender smiled at him.

"I'm fine," she told him. "Why?"

"Well you've not been yourself since you returned. I was wondering if you were okay or something."

Lavender sighed and that told Neville that something wasn't right.

"Did something happen that your not happy about?"

Lavender at once wanted to tell him about what had happened, but she was afraid that he was going to lash out at her. However Neville was looking at with those puppy eyes that Lavender broke down and told him of all the horrible things that had happened and about Severus saving her from further humiliation. When she finished she covered her face with her hands and cried.

"It's alright, Lavender," Neville said. "You-know-who is a sick bastard. He doesn't deserve to have such a wonderful witch as a wife."

Lavender sniffed.

"You really mean that?"

Neville nodded, and then said, "If you want your child to have a dad then I'll sign up for the job."

Lavender looked at his shocked.

"Really."

Neville nodded and then kissed her on the cheek. Lavender was stunned. As they walked away a small chuckle came from a corner. It belonged to Dumbledore.

Ginny and the other sixth years arrived for their Advance Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next morning. Hermione was standing behind her husband's desk, waiting for everyone to file in. When the last person did she flicked her wrist and the door closed.

"Good morning, class," Hermione said. "My husband is ill and so I'm teaching this lesson until he returns. Now today were going to cover the Dementors. Now these creatures are associated with the Dark Lord. Can anyone tell me why such creatures would join him?"

Ginny raised her hand.

"Yes, Mrs. Snape," Hermione said.

"Because he's giving them victims," Ginny answered.

"Correct, twenty points to Gryffindor," Hermione said. "Now I want all of you to open your books and write the notes inside. I want them handed to me by the end of the class period, understand."

Everyone nodded and they begun.

When the bell rang Hermione had the first year Hufflepuff's, who was a little scared of the snake that Hermione had brought. Hermione smiled in satisfaction. Somehow, she loved it when they were scared.

Ginny arrived home after her final lesson for the day, Advance Care of Magical Creatures. She put her things down and went over to the cupboard that had some tuna. She made herself a quick sandwich and then started on her homework. When the door opened she saw her husband staggering in. Ginny gasped when she saw how green he looked.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

He growled and then jumped on his young wife. Ginny screamed in horror and then smelled the scent of a lust potion. Severus crushed his mouth against hers and she felt desire shoot through her. She moaned as fire licked up and down her body and even where he touched her.

"Mine, your mine," he muttered.

Ginny vowed that she would curse whoever gave that potion to him.
