This had to be the weirdest day of her life Hermione thought as she went to her door to allow Harry and Ron access to her rooms.
As she looked at them they were bursting with excitement like little kids about to play in a ball pit.
"Hermione" they said together stepping forward to each give her a hug, making her smile.
"Hi guys" Hermione said after they'd parted from there hugs
"How have you been? Nothing's wrong right, when Professor Dumbledore stopped us on our way over here we were a little worried that something might have been wrong" Harry said with Ron nodding in agreement.
"No nothing's wrong, well I guess something could be wrong. I got a visit from Lucius Malfoy" Hermione said noticing how each boy became instantly on edge at the name. Harry hand was hovering over the pocket where his wand was stored and Ron was glancing around as thought Malfoy was going to pop out at any moment.
"What did he want" Harry said his voice bordering on dangerous
"That's kind of a complicated question" Hermione answered
The questions of why showed strongly on each of the boys faces as they looked at her.
"You see Malfoy only stopped by because of my "conversation with professor Snape the night before" Hermione said
"What happened during your talk with Snape" Ron asked
"I sort of verbally attacked professor Snape" Hermione said her face getting red as she looked any where but at the boys
"You verbally attacked Snape and you still alive?" Harry asked while Ron looked on in wonder
"Yes, and I feel terrible but they wanted me to. Because I was bottling up my emotions towards him and the baby so I may have said a few choice words something like 'I'll have you arrested for rape and take sole custody of the child' which he then conveyed to Malfoy causing him to act on Professor Snape's behave. Saying that he would never allow me to fully take the child away from Snape" Hermione said somewhat in a daze of remembering the conversation.
"what a bloody bastard if you want to take your kid and keep him away from Snape's slimy influences then good for you, don't worry about that snake Malfoy" Ron said slamming his hand down lightly on his leg in outrage
"Ron" Harry said in a warning
"Despite what the events that happened, which we still don't know do you Mione" he asked with a quick glance and with Hermione's negative nod he continued
"A child deserves both his parents" Harry sad with a sad look in his eyes as he thought of the fact neither of his parents were living Hermione gave his hand a small squeeze
"Yea but Snape's a right bloody bastard" Ron said jumping up and pacing like a chicken
"He's treated us like crap since the first day, Hermione he's torn you down because of your smart" Ron said
"I know that Ron" Hermione said
"But that still doesn't mean I can keep a child that's half his away from him. But at the same time that doesn't mean that I'm going to allow him to treat his child like he treated us" Hermione said with a look of contemplation
"I don't think this subject is something that Ron or I can really give advice about" Harry said thoughtfully
"Ron and my opinions are bias because of everything that's happened to us involving Snape. But in the end it's gonna be your call because you're living the situation and were just outsiders looking in on your situation." Harry said
Hermione nodded in understanding
"As much as I just want to say forget Snape, I can see Harry's point about our opinions." Ron said sullenly.
"Thank you Ron for that mature comment, how about we just skip the Professor Snape topic for now" Hermione said watching both boys nod there head in agreement.

"You wanted to see me headmaster" Professor Snape said as he walked into the Headmaster's office.
"Yes my boy I did" The Headmaster said motioning to a chair with his hand, watching as Snape was seated.
"You see my boy I was asked quite urgently by Miss. Granger's elf to come see her earlier today. When I arrived there it would seem as though she had a somewhat unexpected visit from a dear friend of yours, Lucius Malfoy." Headmaster Dumbledore said watching a tension slowly filled Severus body.
"Did Miss. Granger happen to say what his visit was in regards to" Snape asked with a clenched jaw
"Yes, Severus she did she said that Lucius seemed to be under the impression that she might try to keep the child away from you, or charge you with rape" the headmaster said solemnly
"I apologize, headmaster I spoke with Lucius yesterday after my talk with Miss. Granger and relayed to him what had been said in anger; I fear he took what was said out of context. Is Miss. Granger okay?" Severus asked
"Yes she's fine after I assured her that Lucius only threatened her on your behalf. I will be adding more wards to Miss. Grangers rooms seeing as Lucius found them, meaning that anyone could. I did have to tell her about Lucius being a spy, to keep her from worrying. You may want to inform him of that given the opportunity." Dumbledore said with a small smile
"I will apologize to Miss. Granger when I see her next. Possibly I may go tonight to make sure she is well" Professor Snape said
"Oh my boy I wouldn't do that, you see she has young mister Potter and Weasley over right now and I do believe they will be there for sometime. Perhaps its best to wait for another day, maybe tonight you can have a talk with your friend regarding overstepping the boundaries of ones friendship and upsetting young mothers to be" the headmaster said with a serious expression
"Of course Albus" Severus said
Dumbledore nodded
"If that is all" Severus said standing and heading for the door. Before walking threw the headmaster spoke one more time.
"Severus would you like a lemon drop" He said humor filling his voice.
A door slamming shut was the headmasters answer.

A noise from the fireplace signaled his guest's arrival.
"Severus what on earth is so important that you had demand to see me right away" Lucius said as he walked elegantly towards his good friend Severus and seated himself in the chair across from where Snape himself was planted.
"Lucius the headmaster and I just had a very informative talk where I learned a great deal of going's on behind my back. Would you like to take a guess as to what I learned" Severus asked
Lucius knew what Severus was saying, if he confessed now then Severus would easily forget and move on, if he didn't well he could still feel the answer in his back from the last time he decided to draw it out.
"If you are referring to the visit I paid to Miss. Granger's rooms? Well that was just a friendly chat, my friend." Lucius said lightly
"A friendly chat that she saw fit to call for the headmaster once you left. What happened to be said in this so called 'friendly chat' Lucius" Severus said before taking a sip of his brandy he'd conjured himself.
"I simply told her that I would not allow her to keep you from your child. That I would go threw anything and anyone to make sure your desires are met. Is that so wrong, for me to do that for a friend" Lucius asked innocently
"When ones friend does it no there is know harm, when you do it there is too much harm. What possessed you to go and visit Miss. Granger and for that matter, how did you find her rooms, there warded unless invited." Severus said in exasperation.
"Severus I'm hurt, you think I did more harm than good, well I will admit I did purposely make a remark about her parents, I didn't want her to think I'm nice" Lucius said causing Severus to snort
"I don't think that will ever be a problem" Severus said
"As I was saying I decided to let her know that I would make sure you got the proper rights to your child, which I still intend to secure, with or without the Malfoy money."
"Lucius you know that I have more than enough money too..." Severus was saying as he was cut off by Lucius
"I know you do and I also know that you refuse to touch your money due to the fact you still feel guilty about your parents deaths" Lucius said
"You forget old friend I've known you forever so do not try to hide the true statements behind your lies" Lucius said in a serious tone
Severus nodded knowing he was right
"Now as I was once again saying I did it to help you, you know as well as I do that if that Granger girl came here tomorrow and said I don't want you in the babies life, you wouldn't fight her because you fell guilty. You would stay an outsider on your own child's life, while it slowly killed you" Lucius said
Severus stared in deep thought at the fire
"So berate me all you want, hex me if you must but in the end I was doing it for you. As I told Miss. Granger know one will keep me from making sure your deepest desires are made reality, not even you" Lucius finished
A long silence stretched out over the occupants of the room. Just as Lucius thought that nothing would be said a voice broke the silence spell.
"Thank you my friend, thank you" Severus said his voice rough with emotion
"Always my friend always" Lucius said both drifting into there own thoughts
