Author's Note: I hope that all of you have had a Merry Christmas. Here is my Christmas present to you all.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Severus looked around in awe and then he shook himself. "Thank you Hermione. Now why don't we go and find your friends and my niece and nephew? By the way what are my niece and nephew's names?"

Hermione chuckled slightly and motioned for him to follow her as she began walking. "Your niece's name is Serena Rose and your nephew's name is Severus Anthony."

Severus eyes went wide and he said in surprise "You named your son after me?"

Hermione looked over at Severus and gave him a smile as she said "Yes, Severus I named my son after you and after my birth father. You helped me more than you know during my seventh year and it is not something I have ever forgotten or could ever forget. My daughter is named after my birth mother and the Doctor who helped deliver both babies and saved my life."

Severus quirked an eyebrow and enquired "What do you mean by saved your life Hermione?"

Hermione shook her head and gave a rueful smile. "I started hemorrhaging and nothing Bri, Brooke or Bella did could stop it so they went and got a Doctor they knew. It turns out Rose was a Healer and she was able to stop the bleeding finally after an hour. It took four blood replenishing potions to get my blood count back up and then it took a month to get me back on my feet. The reason I look as if I haven't been sleeping is because I'm still healing and so far it's been a long road."

Severus nodded and then looked at Hermione quizzically as she stopped walking. "Well when we get you to Hogwarts I'll have Poppy take a look at you. Now where are these three girls you talked about and my niece and my nephew?"

Hermione chuckled and gestured at the door they were standing in front of. "They are in there. Are you ready to meet them?"

Severus nodded. "Yes, I am."

Hermione nodded and opened up the door and led the way into the family room. She couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of her. She chuckled when she saw Bri, Brooke and Bella all playing with Serena and little Severus. "I'm back girls and I brought my uncle with me. I actually ran into him at Gringotts and then accosted him and took him with me and explained everything."

Bri looked up from where she was laying on the floor tickling little Severus and smiled. "Well that is a good thing then Mia. Maybe he can find a way to help us keep men away from you."

Severus who had been staring at the two babies looked at the woman who spoke and said "Oh I'll make sure that they don't get anywhere near her unless she wishes it. I will also look into possibly making a potion that may help."

Brianna nodded and then stood up with little Severus in her arms securely and walked over to Severus and held the baby out. "Would you like to hold your namesake, Sir?"

Severus gave a nod and then gently took little Severus from the girl. "Thank you. May I ask which one you are?"

Brianna laughed as Hermione blushed. "I'm Brianna. The blonde one is Bella and the blonde one with blue streaks is Brooklyn."

Severus nodded. "You all look alike so it's a good thing you have different colored highlights. I have asked Hermione to come back to Hogwarts with me and she said that she would as long as you three come along with us. Oh and please call me Severus."

Brooklyn stared at Severus and gave a smile. "That sounds like a great idea Severus. It would do Hermione good to be around some others. My only concern is the male students and how they will react around Hermione. I do not wish for her to go through what she went through a year ago."

Severus nodded. "That will not be a problem Brooklyn. I am sure between the four of us plus Albus, Minerva and Remus that we will be able to make sure that none of the male students get close to her. Also my godson Draco Malfoy is the new Defense Professor so I'm sure that he'll help as well."

Hermione's eyes widened at that piece of news and then she smiled slightly. "How is Malfoy doing Severus?"

Severus shook his head. "He's doing alright Hermione. He took the Defense post this year in order to get away from his Mother and Father who are pressuring him to find someone to marry."

Hermione laughed at that and said "Well if we want to get to Hogwarts sometime today then I guess I should get packing some things."

Brooklyn smirked and with a flick of her hand some of little Severus' and Serena's things were folding and putting themselves in a trunk. She laughed as Hermione's eyes widened when some of her own clothes came in and packed themselves in the trunk as well followed by Bri's, Bella's and hers. She then picked Serena up with a smile. "There everything is packed that we should need Hermione. Sometimes I think that you forget that you are a strong and capable witch."

Hermione laughed and shook her head. "Well I guess that takes care of that then. Severus are you sure that the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall won't have a problem with you bringing four witches and two babies back with you to Hogwarts without even telling them?"

Severus smirked and nodded. "I'm sure Hermione. I know for a fact that Albus and Minerva would love to see you. They have been wondering about you since you left. Plus if I remember correctly you probably want to research all you can about Godric Gryffindor and his line."

Hermione nodded and her eyes lit up. "Actually yes, I do Severus and I would love to be able to use the library at Hogwarts. That is one of the things I have missed most about Hogwarts besides the Professor's."

Severus chuckled and said "Well then if you all are ready we can go. We can just floo to my personal quarters and put your things there and then go and see Albus."

Hermione nodded and looked at Bella who had been quiet the whole time. "Bella, are you alright?"

Bella shook her head to clear it of thoughts and smiled at Hermione as she stood up. "Yes, Hermione I'm alright. I just had some things on my mind. I think that all of us going to Hogwarts is a fine idea. If we need anything else we can always come back to get it. Plus you need to see a Healer since you haven't been eating again."

Hermione sighed but nodded. "Fine then I'll see Poppy after I see the Headmaster. Will that make you happy Bells?"

Bella grinned and nodded. "Yes, that will make me very happy. Now we should get going so that your old Professor's can see you Mia. They are going to be happy to have you back."

Hermione shook her head and gave a rueful smile. "You had another premonition didn't you?"

Bella chuckled and said "Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. Now let's go. I'm excited to see the place where you went to school."

Hermione chuckled and looked at Severus. "Do you want me to carry little Severus or would you like to?"

Severus shook his head and looked down at the little boy he was holding to his chest. "I'll carry him. No offense Hermione but you look like a good stiff wind could knock you over. Now let us go so that you can see Albus and have Poppy check you over."

Hermione sighed but

nodded. With a couple flicks of her hand she felt the wards strengthen and gave a satisfied smiled. "Okay we can go now. I strengthened the wards."

Bella, Bri, Brooklyn and Severus all nodded and then Brooklyn led the way out of the family room they were in with Serena in her arms. As she walked by the changing table she picked up the diaper bag that had several packages of diapers in it that were shrunk and then led the way to the receiving room with everyone following behind her.

She smiled as she saw Severus hold little Severus tighter to him and wrap an arm around Hermione after he threw floo powder into the fire and stepped in it. She listened as he called out the destination and then motioned for Brianna to go followed by Bella before she stepped in and called her destination out. When she reached the destination she smiled when she saw Hermione with a real smile on her face. "Are you happy that you came back here Mia?"

Hermione looked at Brooklyn with a smile and nodded. "Yes, I am. It feels like I've finally come home."

Severus smiled at that and then said "Well now let's go and see Albus. Hermione, do you wish to take the floo or walk there?"

Hermione thought about it a minute and then said "I think the floo for now. This way I don't have to see too many people right now."

Severus nodded and then said "Well you go first and then I'll have Brooklyn, Bella, and Bri go and then I'll follow."

Hermione nodded and took in a deep breath and let it out and then threw in some floo powder and called out her destination. When she stepped out of the fire in the Headmaster's office she quickly stepped away from the fireplace so that the others could get through. She looked at Albus who was staring at her in shock and she smiled. "Hello Headmaster."
