After Professor Dumbledore, decided that Annalise was to go back with them to Grimmauld Place, everyone else who had came with them to the cottage had left, except for Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. When Annalise went to her room to pack up her things, Snape had followed her. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall waited with the trio before finally going to the room where Annalise and Snape had disappeared. After they left, it was Harry who spoke first.
"Ummm... So, Hermione, are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm... shocked...never thought...weird." said Hermione, who continued to stare at the piano in front of her.
"Yeah it's weird! I mean your Snape's daughter! Who would have thought that, you're related to that greasy git! Unbelievable!" exclaimed Ron.
"Ron!" responded Harry. Hermione had just taken her eyes off of the piano and looked at Ron.
"I just mean... that well Hermione is nicer and... well better looking and cleaner than him." said Ron. "Sorry, Hermione."
"It is ok Ron." answered Hermione as she smiled for the first time in a couple of days. "Let's talk, when we get back to Grimmauld Place. There we can talk in private."
Hermione then stood up and started walking to the room, where she had seen McGonagall go. Harry and Ron quietly followed suit. When they walked in the first thing they saw was clothes scattered all over the place. Professor McGonagall was sitting in a chair by the window, with Professor Dumbledore standing behind her. Professor Snape was silently leaning up against the wall, near them. When he heard them enter he turned his head towards them, and instead of looking at them disapprovingly or telling them to leave, gestured for them to enter and to sit on the couch near, the vanity. As they sat they looked around for Annalise, they didn't see her but knew she had to be somewhere in the room because they had heard her voice as they made their way to the room.
"Annalise, dear, do you need so much muggle attire? Do you have any robes?" asked McGonagall.
"I want to make sure that I have enough." Annalise said as she came from a door that was opposite from McGonagall. The trio assumed that it was a closet because she came out caring many pairs of shoes. "I'm afraid that I am in need of robes and dress robes."
"Annalise, your mother and I am going to go back to headquarters and inform the Order. Severus will take you all to Grimmauld Place." Professor Dumbledore said.
Annalise nodded in response as Dumbledore and McGonagall got up to leave. She walked them out to the door, where they then disapperated. When she came back into the room she placed her pile of shoes on to the bed and looked around deciding what to do next. She still needed to get all of her jewelry, and accessories together. Then she had to find her suitcases and bags to but all of her stuff in. Then when she was done with that she had to still get together her books, quills, parchment, and other various things that she would need. She knew that it would be awhile before she was to return to the cottage, so she wanted to make sure she had everything that she would need. Thinking of all the things that she still had to do in only an hour or so, made Annalise let out a huge sigh. A sigh that did not go unnoticed by Hermione.
"Would you like for me to help you finish packing?" asked Hermione timidly.
"Oh, I don't...you needn't....I can....yes that would be nice. Thank you." Annalise answered after she saw the look on Hermione's face. Harry and Ron also volunteered to help. Snape did not. He spent his time watching Annalise and Hermione. An hour later, everything had been packed and shrunken to fit in to the pocket of Annalise's pants, and the five of them were standing outside of the cottage. Hermione held on to Annalise's arm. While the boys held on to Snape. They then disapperated back to Grimmuald Place.
