***Well here we are...Goodmorning from Greece. I hope this chapter is okay. I really want you to like the story. I hope you do like it!
The next morning Hermione woke up in the arms of Severus. At first she got scared but after she remembered what had happened the previous day she sighed in relief. She looked at his face and she saw that he had a small smile. She slightly got up from the couch and very quietly walked towards the kitchen to make some breakfast. Few minutes later Jean walked down and went to the kitchen.
''Good morning sweetheart'' She said and kissed Hermione.
''Good morning mum! What happened yesterday?'' Hermione asked her mother with a smile
''Nothing serious! What happened here?'' Jean asked her daughter when she poured some coffee for herself.
''He explained everything and while he was talking mum I just felt love coming from him. It was so beautiful. I believed everything he said because I know that it's the truth. I want to give him a chance if that's okay with you.'' Hermione finished and looked at her mother while setting up the table.
''Oh Hermione'' Jean said and stood up and hugged her daughter ''It's absolutely fine with us. He is your father. He needs you. We had you for 16 years. Let him have something too.'' she continued and kissed Hermione's hair.
''Cupcake you know that we will always be here for you no matter what'' Said John from the door and startled them.
''Oh dad, thank you so much!'' Hermione said and hugged him tight
''Now where is Severus?'' John asked his two beautiful women
''He is still sleeping. He was sleeping so peacefully, I couldn't wake him up.'' Hermione explained to them but few minutes later Severus walked inside
''Good morning'' He said and smiled to the Grangers and turned to his daughter ''Good morning Hermione'' he gave her a different smile and he eyes were full of love
''Good morning Severus!'' Hermione said and smiled back at him. She had told him the previous night that it would be weird for her for a little while to call him dad.
''Will you join us for some breakfast Severus?'' Jean asked him with a smile and ready to stand up to put a plate in front of him.
''I would love to'' Said Severus and sat beside his daughter.
While Jean, John and Severus were chatting about Hermione's life, Severus felt a hand hold his and realized that it was his daughter. She had probably see the look in his eyes when Jean told him the first time she walked and the first time she did her first accidentally magic. He looked at her and smiled. Suddenly a tap was heard and the four looked at the window. There they saw two owls. The white one Hermione realized was Hedwig and the other one she didn't know. She stood up and let the owls fly into the room. She took the letters from both and while the unknown owl left, Hedwig stayed there as always. Hermione saw that the letter from the unknown owl was for Severus and went and gave it to him. When Severus opened the letter he chuckled.
Hermione turned at him with amusement ''What's wrong?'' she asked
Severus looked at her and smiled ''It's from Albus telling me to stay with you as long as I want and don't care about anything else.''
Hermione smiled and thanked her headmaster for everything. ''He is an amazing person''
Severus nodded and the three adult continued to talk about Hermione as a baby. Hermione excused herself and went to her room. She could hear her real father laugh at something Jean had said to him and she was thankful to her. She knew that he didn't laugh at all. He was always in pain. She sat to her bed and opened the letter.
Hey Mione,
How are things with you? I am getting ready to go and stay at the Burrow. I am a little excited because I will leave from this house and I will laugh a little again. I can say that I am getting better day by day. I have to. That's what Sirius would want from me. Remus and Tonks are already at the Burrow as well. How about you? Are you coming to the Burrow? Ron said that he will write to you soon enough. Hermione I just want to tell you thank you for putting up with me for so many weeks... I mean with me and my anger, my sadness and everything else. I really hope you can write me a reply soon. I really missed you Mione! If not, I will see you at the 15th of August at Diagon Alley.
I love you and miss you
Harry
P.S. Don't study very hard!
When she finished reading the letter, Hermione had tears rolling down her cheeks from joy. She was happy for Harry. She was happy because he was getting better and because he would be around friends for a month. She had missed the old Harry and she prayed to God that he would be happy again sometime. She quicklu pulled out a parcment and a quill and started to write to Harry.
Dear Harry,
I have missed you so much! I so glad that you are getting better. I think it's for the best of you go at the Burrow. It will be safer. I don't really know what to say Harry. These are difficult times. We will have to be very careful! But how dare you think that I couldn't send you a reply. You are my best friend and I will always be there for you. Talk to you soon I hope!
With much love
Hermione
P.S. Tell Ron to not eat a lot sweets.
She smiled and closed her eyes. HS etook a deep breath, folded the letter and gave it to Hedwig. The owl left and Hermieone look after iit. Her thoughts drifted to the changes of her life. She thought about talking to Harry for what had happened. But what if she told him about her being a Snape? Would he wanted to still be her friend. Would he hate her? What would happen in the end? She was once again pulled out of her thoughts by a knock at the door.
She quickly wiped her tears and called ''Come in''
The door opened and behind it revealed Severus. ''Am I interrupting something?'' He asked
''No, come in'' Hermione said and patted the place beside her to the bed for him to sat down. When he sat down she asked ''Is something wrong?''
He shook his head ''Well Jean, John and I talked about you. When you left Jean said that you might want to come and stay with me'' He stopped to see Hermione's look.
''Oh'' she whispered and then looked at her hands. Severus took her chin and made her look at him
''I told her that I would be delightful if you decided that you wanted to come and stay with me.'' He said to her and she widened her eyes
''Really? You want me to come and stay with you?'' Hermione asked with disbelief all over her face
''I would understand if you wanted to stay here thought but I would love for you to come and stay with me.'' He said to her and looked inside her eyes.
Hermione didn't spoke. She just wrapped her arms around him and Severus wrapped his around her small waist. They stayed like these for a few minutes
''So, will you come with me?''He asked praying her answer to be positive.
''Yes I will come. I would love to stay with my father!'' Hermione said and Severus hugged her again.
''Then it's settled. You can go downstairs to tell your parents and I will stay here to pack your things.'' Severus said and looked at her
''Okay thank you'' Hermione said and left the room and Severus started to pack with the help of a little magic
''Mum, dad'' Hermione said and went to the kitchen
''Yes sweetheart'' Jean said and looked up to her daughter. Heroine sat to the table.
''I wanted to tell you first, thank you for everything you have done for me all those years. Thank you for being the best parents ever. Thank you for teaching me so many things about life and about choices. I thank God for giving me you two. You are amazing and I will never forget what you have done for me.'' Hermione stopped and looked at Jean and John.
Both of them had tears to their eyes. Hermione stood up and embraced them. ''We love you cupcake'' John whispered to her. The three of them pulled apart and Jean touched Hermione's cheek. ''Be careful and take care. You ought to know that this place here will always have a room for you. Both your father and I will always be there for you to cry or for you to laugh. We will be beside you to your every step. Don't ever forget that.'' Jean said and hugged her daughter again. She wasn't in pain. She was happy that Hermione had finally found where she really belonged. She knew that her daughter would always come back to them when she needed them.
Severus walked downstairs and found the three with red eyes and big smiles. He went to them and put a hand to Hermione's waist.
''Severus take good care of her. She is our diamond. She is very important to us.'' John said and wiped few tears.
''I will John, thank you for taking such good care of my daughter for 16 years.'' Severus said and the two shook hands. Hermione gave one last hug to John and Jean. She then took hold of Severus hand and disappeared.
