The Arrival
Hermione kissed Severus goodbye as he Floo'd to his office at Hogwarts. She then collected the last of her things, gathered up toys and food for Charlotte, and then it was time to visit Molly.
Hermione wanted nothing more than to hold Charlotte close to her but Charlotte, the Snape that she was, wanted to toddle about on her own.
When they reached Molly's, Charlotte hid behind Hermione, eyeing the busy living room.
"Hermione, dear!" Molly gave Hermione a hug and kiss.
Hermione managed a weak smile. "I didn't realize you were running a daycare, Molly."
"Oh, it's just family."
A/N: Hermione is surprised at the amount of children, only because Molly had said she'd mind Charlotte but hadn't mentioned she was already going to be minding other children too. Yup.
