Concessions
The family was silent for a while. Mrs. Granger looked down at Charlotte, unable to meet the eyes of her daughter and son-in-law.
Mr. Granger gave an embarrassed cough as he noticed Hermione looking at Snape with tenderness. "That… isn't quite as bad as it initially sounded, don't you think dear?"
Mrs. Granger didn't answer, never taking her eyes off Charlotte.
"Mum…" Hermione quietly spoke up. "I really didn't plan on any of this…but I am happy and… well, we thought you'd want to be part of Charlotte's life."
"I think you should both stay for dinner," she said softly.
