Title: The Fun of Severus Snape

Rating: T

Summary: Snape had a bit of fun after he left Hogwarts and fathered two children with two different women, Harry with Lily and another child, with a muggle. During Harry's third year it comes out that he and another person are related. The real shocker is, Snape didn't know. Based on the Hidden Snape's on Potions and Snitches.

Chapter 7: Things Going Bump in the Night

"I can't believe that we're going back to Hogwarts," Hermione said, sounding excited.

"I know," Harry said, "I'm glad that this whole Sirius Black thing is finally over. Even if he doesn't know that it is."

Hermione nodded, still smiling.

That night Harry was fast asleep when he heard Hermione screaming. He got up and raced to her really eye irritating room. When he opened it he saw nothing, but Hermione was setting up in bed and her eyes were wide.

"What happened?" Harry asked her.

"Something was under my bed," Hermione told him, tears welling up, "It was laughing at me and I just started screaming."

A couple of moments later the door opened and in walked Severus. "What happened?" He asked.

"Hermione thinks that she saw something," Harry told him.

"Harry, I didn't think I see it, I know that I saw it."

Harry saw Severus give him an odd look and then he said, "I'll give you something so that you can sleep."

"Thanks," Hermione said and he was gone. "Harry, you have to believe me."

"What do you think it was?" Harry asked her.

"I don't know, but I was scared," Hermione said, "Oh gods, why did it appear? I mean, it's never appeared before."

"Well at least you're going to get something to help you sleep," Harry told her.

Hermione nodded and then Severus came back with the potion.

The next morning Hermione looked as though death had warmed over on her. Harry had a bad feeling that something had happened and the potion had prevented her from knowing. Even Severus looked at her with worry.

"I need to check out something," he said and he took out his wand and Harry heard him muttering something under his breath.

Something black surrounded her and Harry thought it was the spell, until Severus dropped his wand in shock.

"What's wrong with Hermione?" Harry asked him.

"She's being drained," Severus told him, "Something did happen last night and we need to get her away from here."

"What do you think is doing this?" Harry asked him, hoping that it wasn't something much worse.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out."

Harry suddenly became fearful.

When they came back to Hogwarts Harry and Hermione were given the password and headed back to the Ravenclaw common room. Severus told Harry to let him know if Hermione had anymore screaming matches. Harry told him that he would before he had left.

"Good to see you back, Severus," Dumbledore said when Severus arrived in his office. "Peter has been kissed; he won't be bothering anyone anymore."

"Good," Severus said and then he sat down, looking distressed.

Dumbledore noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something is feeding on Hermione," Severus told him and Dumbledore stared at him. "I heard screaming and didn't think anything of it. Thought it was a horrible dream, but then both me, and Harry noticed that she was looking pale."

"And you concluded that something was feeding on her."

"Yes," Severus said.

"What are you going to do?" Dumbledore asked him, worry in his voice.

"I need to find out what's feeding on her and find a spell that will help," Severus said. "I'm not losing my daughter to some monster."

"I totally agree," Dumbledore said.

Severus got another report that night, from Harry, telling him that the students had complained of Hermione screaming. Professor Flitwick gave her the potion, but Severus knew that, until they found out what was feeding on her, that nothing would work. The only thing that he could do was do a ritual that would dip his finger in the dark arts. He knew that a creature was feeding on her but there were hundreds of creatures that fed on humans; only a couple of them could kill.

He went back to his house on Spinner End and found the book that he was looking for. Heading back he opened it and turned it over to the page to capture a dark creature. Most of the text was about making it summit to your will, but he was a modifier and he would do it with this spell. He gathered up what he needed and headed to Ravenclaw Tower.

A/N: The next chapter we'll find out what creature it is and why it's with Hermione and boy are you going to be surprised. Also, the connection that I have might be going out, so I'll have to use a backup connection. I will try, however, to update every day like I've been doing.
