The Other Spy
Chapter Ten
Ginny
Hermione sighed it was time for her to have her check up with Professor McGonagall to see if the potion had worked. She prayed it did and she as carrying the man she loved child.
The witch quietly walked into Severus's bedroom and laid down on the bed. The wizard stood next to the bed and held Hermione's hand. Minerva walked into the room. She smiled slightly at the couple. The deputy would be happier if the child had nothing to do with the dark lord. It tugged at her heartstrings. They didn't disturbed this pain.
Minerva squeezed Hermione's hand and pulled out her wand. Severus nodded to Minerva and brushed a curl from his mate's face. The medi-witch ran her wand over Hermione's stomach and it lit up clear.
"You're two weeks pregnant, Miss Granger. I'll be over seeing your pregnancy. I wouldn't trust Poppy with something of such importance. We must keep the information of her spying to a minimum."
She nodded in agreement, but she really wanted to tell Ginny the truth. She was after all her best friend. She would need help and need someone besides her head of house and the head of the Slytherin house.
Minerva squeezed Hermione's hand left the bedroom.
Severus sat down the bed and the witch sat up and she chewed on her bottom lip. The wizard squeezed the witch's hand. He knew something was wrong.
Severus tucked a curl behind her ear, "What's wrong love?"
"I want to tell Ginny the truth. I'll need her. You can't be with me every second of the day. I need her Severus. I need a friend."
He sighed heavily, "Only Miss Weaseley. She is trust worthy."
Hermione threw her arms around her mate's neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. He rested his cheek on top of her head.

Hermione gave the fat lady the password and walked into the crowded common room. She took Ginny's hand and they walked out of the room. Harry and Ron looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They returned to their chess game.

"Hermione where are we going?"
She didn't answer the red head's question. She was wrapped up in her thoughts trying to figure out how to tell her best friend the truth. Hermione opened the potions class room door without knocking and they quietly walked up Professor Snape who was grading essays.
He looked up, "Please take Miss Weaseley to my chambers."
She nodded and they walked out of the classroom.

Ginny nervously looked around Professor Snape common room. Hermione couldn't help but chuckle at the red head and she sat down on the couch. Severus walked into the room and smirked at the youngest Weaseley. She looked really distressed about being in such unknown territory. He sat down next to Hermione.
"Have seat Miss Weaseley. We have a few things to discuss. But first I want your wizard's oath that what is said here will not leave this room." Severus told Ginny.
"You a have my oath Professor."
"Very well. Do not jump to sudden conclusions. I ask you to wait until we are through."
"Yes sir."
Hermione took a deep breath and began her story. She rested her head on her mate's shoulder. He picked up when she was unable to finish.
Ginny looked at the couple with tears in her eyes. Her best friend had to kill her parents, be Voldemort's pet, spy on Harry to feed him false information, and carry Snape's baby only for the child to be taken away from the most inhuman wizard the world had seen.
"Ginny please say something." Hermione pleaded.
The red head rose from the arm chair and quickly took her best friend into a tight hug. "Don't worry. I'll be with you all the way."
Severus sighed in relief grateful for the youngest Weaseley. He knew Hermione need her to keep her sane. Ginny looked over at her potions professor and saw he had completely dropped his mask. The witch saw warm loving deep brown eyes. The red head knew in the instant that Severus Snape loved Hermione Granger.

Ginny and Hermione took their seats at the Gryffindor table enjoying supper listening to Harry and Ron talking about quidditch. Hermione gave them a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Severus watched his mate closely and noticed she was only pushing her food around on her plate and taking a bite every so often. He sighed heavily. It was killing her inside and it hurt him seeing his lover fall apart.
Albus looked at the Potions Master and followed his gaze and noticed he was starring at the head girl. Severus quickly looked away when his and Hermione's eyes made contact. It made him burn to touch her to make her know she wasn't alone and that he loved her.

"Hermione are you ok?"
"I'm fine Ginny."
"You need to eat."
She nodded and turned to food and pulled a book from her bag and read as she ate. She need a distraction not to think of her life. It was falling apart.
Hermione had her fill and pushed her plate away and pulled her book closer to her. She twisted a strain of hair between her fingers and turned the page.
Harry looked at his best friend with worry. She had nearly shut her self away from him and Ron. The only person she spoke to was Ginny. He tried to get some information from his girl friend but nothing seemed to work.
"I'm going to the common room," Hermione got up and left the great hall.
The trio watched their friend leave with worry written on their faces. Even Severus looked worried when Ginny looked up at the high table.

The Potion Master excused his self and left the great hall through the staff entrance. He looked around the corridors from the witch. He sighed when he saw sitting on a bench with her legs pulled up to her chest and tears rolled down her face.
Severus quietly sat down next to distressed witch. He wrapped his arm around her waist. She rested her head on his chest.
"What's the matter Hermione?" he whispered gently in her ear.
"I just feel so….so used."
"I know you do. So do I but we have no choice but to be puppets."
Hermione laughed weakly and sighed heavily. Severus held her close and whispered comforting words into her ear. He stood up and held out his hand and they went down to the dungeons for the night.
