Chapter 4

Thank you jmorono18 for Beta-ing this for me, I doubt it would be half as good as it is without you.

Last Time-

"What do you mean Harry's friends with Malfoy?" Everyone in the common room turned to look at the two of them, wanting to find out the reason for Ron's outburst.

Dean looked around the room nervously before saying " After Harry left the Great Hall, I saw Malfoy leave as well so I thought he was going to hassle Harry so I followed and when I caught up to where they were I heard them talking and making jokes"

"Jokes about what?!" Ron and Ginny shouted together, turning red in anger.

"Well when I got there, I heard Harry saying he had no idea why Snape's wife told Dumbledore her father was Voldemort and Malfoy saying that Harry knew how she was and that she didn't like lying" Ron snorted at hearing the last part "and then he told Malfoy that the looks on our faces were funny and how he had to try not to laugh and they both started to laughing before Malfoy left" Dean finished with whisper, but everyone still heard him through the shocked silence of the room.

"What?" Ron shouted snapping everyone out of their shocked stupor.

"Ron keep it down, he's in the dorms you know, what if he heard us" Hermione whispered to him slapping him across the head.

"We are going to demand some answers out of him" Ginny said "How dare he lie to us"

"We'll ask him in the morning, so lets not jump to conclusions. Besides we better get ready for bed" Hermione told everyone, who all started heading towards their dorms while whispering amongst themselves.

Chapter 4

(Snape's Chambers)

It was quiet at the moment as all the room's occupants lay peacefully asleep. The silence was broken seconds later as the rustling of silk sheets and a low groan penetrated the silence as Severus Snape woke up.

He remained laying with his eyes closed until he noticed the weight of something laying on his chest. He kept his eyes closed as he thought of what it could be. That is, until he felt a puff of warm air hit his chest as whatever it was let out a content sigh while snuggling further into his arms.

He slowly looked down, only to see the face of his wife who was peacefully sleeping. He stared at her while admiring her features as she slept, caressing her cheeks gently, smiling as she leaned into the touch.

He then noticed the two children who were also both asleep after having snuck into the room at some point last night and was now laying at an awkward angle.

He smiled as he watched them burrow further into the covers and it was then that a thought came to him.

'Aren't I supposed to be at Hogwarts?' he asked himself and looked around the room to see that he was in fact in his Hogwarts chambers. ' If I'm at Hogwarts then why would they be here?' that was when memories of everything that had happened the previous day came back to him.

"Shit" he swore out loud jumping out of bed and pacing the room as he tried to sort out his thoughts, when a whimper made him look back over at his wife on the bed who had felt him get up and was now feeling for him, she opened her eyes and looked around the room when she realised he wasn't in bed. She saw him staring at her with an unreadable look on his face.

"Sev? what's wrong? Come back to bed" she said, voice heavy with sleep.

"Why are you here, at Hogwarts?" he asked, voice neutral and not giving away what he was feeling.

She sighed then sat up to look him in the face " I thought we already spoke about this."

"No we didn't. You brushed my questions off!" he hissed icily at her " I mean you just show up in the middle of the Great Hall and tell everyone you're not only my wife, but that your father is the Dark Lord. What did you think was going to happen Athanasia. Do you have any idea how many questions Dumbledore is going to be asking now?How much danger you've potentially put yourself and our children in?" he ranted

"Well if he asks me I'll answer, simple" she said standing up and heading for the shower. She stopped and looked over her shoulder at "Oh and sorry for ruining your bachelor status around here" she sneered at him before slamming the door.

"That's not what I meant and you know it!" he shouted at the door before going to sit on the bed with his head in his hands "Fuck" he swore.

There was a giggle from next to him and he looked over to see Dominic and Calamity looking at him. "why were you both arguing",Calamity asked with a frown, getting a shake of the head from Severus she turned her attention to something else. "Daddy said a bad word!"she said "Mummy is gonna be mad." Dominic added, snickering at him.

He looked at them with a raised eyebrow, "Only if I let you tell her." he said before pouncing on the squealing children, tickling them as they tried to get away from him.

"Are you gonna tell Mummy on me?" he asked with a laugh after a while of tickling them.

"Are they gonna tell me what?" asked a suspicious looking Athanasia who had just entered the room.

"Daddy said a bad word" they told her.

"Oh did he now?" she asked sending a playful glare at Severus who looked at the two kids and muttered "Traitors" at them, they just stuck their tongues out at him.

"Why don't you both get ready while I punish Daddy for saying a bad word?" Athanasia said to the kids who hurried out the room giggling that they got Daddy trouble.

She walked towards him with slow swaying hips, licking her lips as he leered at her with lust filled eyes. She smiled seductively as he pulled her down into his lap and kissed her chastely before deepening it. Their lips moved together in heated fiery kisses as Severus swiped his tongue along Athanaisia's bottom lip receiving a moan, teeth grazing those rosy lips. She gasped and he plundered forward, his tongue snaking inside her mouth, tongues dancing as they explored each other's mouths. Her fingers running through his hair.

They continued kissing hard and passionately and as Severus' hands moved down from her hips to stroke her thighs, she abruptly pulled away and stood from his lap and walked out of the room. Severus sat there dazed and confused for a moment before following her out of the room

"Athan, why'd you stop?" he whined uncharacteristically.

"Oh please, did you really think I forgot that I'm mad at you?" she asked sarcastically "That is payback." she told him pointing to the tent in his trousers.

"You got me horny so you could leave me hanging?" he asked with a baffled expression on his face.

"Yes" she answered simply as she tried to look innocent but couldn't stop herself from smiling.

"Oh alright then. Well just wait until you want me to fuc-" he began to say but stopped as the two children entered the room looking at the both of them in confusion at the sudden silence.

"So should we go see the Mediwitch?" Athanasia asked him.

"Yes we should. Poppy is probably waiting for us already" Severus replied to her as they all left the chambers and headed for the Infirmary.

(Infirmary)

They entered the Infirmary where poppy was in fact waiting for them. As soon as she saw them she swooped Athanasia away ushering her to a spare bed as she began her questions leaving Snape and the two kids at the door.

"Do you have any ideas on what might be wrong?" Poppy asked Athanasia.

"I do" she answered not offering any more information than that.

Madam Pomfrey didn't ask her to elaborate as she saw the two children run to the window overlooking the Quidditch pitch and Snape coming over to stand beside Athanasia's bed. She instead kept asking her questions "What are your symptoms?" she asked as she went about conjuring Athanasia's past health records.

"Hmm, well I've been feeling nauseous, tired and I guess my eating habits have gotten a bit weird she said with a frown.

Madame Pomfrey nodded and pointed her wand at her "I'm presuming that you want me to confirm your suspicions" she asked Atanasia. getting a nod she began casting diagnostic spells. It only lasted a few seconds though before she looked up at Athanasia with an unreadable expression. She shook her head and did the spell again and again.

"Well Mrs Snape it appears that you are pregnant" Madam Pomfrey said with a considerate look.

"No need to worry Mediwitch Pomfrey, this is not my first child remember" she said with a reassuring smile before turning and watching Severus who was stood frozen, watching her pale faced and indifferently. Madam Pomfrey looked at her then at Severus and back again at her. As she was about to say something Athanasia held up her hand and silenced her without looking away from Severus. They stared at each other a while longer before Snape's eyes rolled up into his head and he passed out.

Athanasia burst into laughter holding her sides as she tries to calm her laughter "Oh my God" she chuckled, seeing the look on Madam Pomfrey's face she decided to explain "It happens all the time" she said.

Madam Pomfrey didn't know whether to be amused or shocked "Severus doesn't really seem like the type to pass out" Poppy said chuckling.

"I know right!" she said laughing again "He surprised me as well when I told him I was pregnant the first time. I mean I was really worried you know, being sixteen and pregnant for an older guy and all, I thought he was gonna leave after I saw his face go blank, that is until he just fainted."

Madam Pomfrey was full out laughing at this as she levitated Severus to a bed.

"He did the same thing a few months later when we found out I was having twins." she said "And again when they were born. It was pretty funny." she said turning to watch the two kids with a sigh.

She looked at Athanasia who was watching the two children play with a small smile on her face.

"You had them when you were sixteen?" she asked gently

"Yeah, I did. " she said voice neutral.

"That was pretty young to be in a sexual relationship with an older man." Poppy told her

"I know. But we together for a while before that. He was a bit hesitant to admit he had feelings for a fourteen year old but he just asked me out one day and I said yes. We were together for a year before we decided to tell my father about us." she stopped and chuckled quietly before continuing "Man was he angry, and it wasn't just him you know, he called a Death Eater meeting to discuss our relationship. ALL the death eaters were pissed at him." her eyes glazed over as she remembered, no noticing Dumbledore entering the Infirmary.

"I would imagine the Dark Lord would be angry." Poppy stated.

"He got over it after a while. Telling us to make sure we ask his permission before we did was his only condition to us being together. So when Sev wanted to kiss me for the first time he had to ask permission and when I turned sixteen, I asked my dad if I could give him my virginity and as always," she paused, sighing "He called a Death Eater meeting.." she drawled with a revolted expression that made Poppy laugh.

"What happened at the meeting?" Poppy asked curiously.

"Ugh, they discussed it and after getting yelled at by Bellatrix and Narcissa and the other female Death Eaters, they decided I should do what I want. Of course that didn't stop all of them throwing their family's own special contraceptive spells and charms at me" Athanasia said with a roll of her eyes.

Poppy gasped "That won't work, they'll all cancel each other out!" she yelled.

"Exactly. That's how I ended up pregnant at sixteen" Athanasia replied before continuing "That's not the end of it." she said with a shake of her head "When I went to tell father I was pregnant it was in the middle of a Death Eater meeting, so everyone was already there. I took everybody's wands so they wouldn't try and kill Sev and then simply said 'Everyone, I'm pregnant and Sev asked me to marry him'. I thought the worst reaction would come from dad, you know him screaming 'Crucio' or I was pretty shocked to see Lucius Malfoy rugby tackle Sev to the ground the proceed to strangle him while screaming something about castrating Sev". At the last part Poppy's face took on a look of what could only be described as shocked disbelief.

"Lucius Malfoy?" she asked still gaping

"Yep" Athanasia answered with a chuckle looking around the room that had become much too quiet to have two kids in it.

It was then that she noticed Dumbledore who had been listening to their conversation quietly.

"Good Morning Mrs Snape!" he said cheerfully.

"Good Morning Headmaster!" she returned the greeting.

"I would like to say sorry for intruding last night, my father said it was best if I went to Sev, especially if my suspicions of being pregnant were true so I just grabbed the kids and left." she told him.

"No problem my dear child, family is always welcome here at Hogwarts especially family of Severus'. Speaking of Severus perhaps we should wake him." he said reminding them that he was currently unconscious.

As Madam Pomfrey went about waking Severus up Dumbledore decided to ask her some questions that he needed to know.

"What is your position in the war? I doubt you are one that supports your father's beliefs" he asked.

"You are right my father's beliefs are not ones that I agree with. However neither is the light. I have no part in this war." she told him voice indifferent, revealing nothing on her feelings.

Dumbledore simply nodded "Seeing as most of my questions were answered as you informed Poppy of your story, how about we head to the Great Hall for breakfast?" he asked her cheerfully with that twinkle in his eyes.

"Sure" she replied standing up and looking over to Severus who had finally awoken and was laughing. She walked up to him and pecked him on the lips before getting the kids who had not even noticed what was happening in the room as they talked among themselves.

As they approached the doors of the Great Hall they heard shouting and screams. As they opened the doors Dumbledore was absolutely shocked at what he saw.

A/N- Ok this chapter had to be cut short cause I felt like I was yammering on a bit but I just wanted to explain how her and Snape came to be together and married. I tried to explain it as best as I could so its basically about how they went to the infirmary because she suspected she was pregnant. she finds out she is and Snape faints, Athanasia then tells poppy about how she started dating Snape when she was fourteen and how she got pregnant at sixteen where he asks her to marry him. They have been married for 6-7 years now so she's about 21-23 years old.

Please feel free to leave a review on what I could improve
