Chapter 2 Thoughts

Hermione sat in the lawyer's office surprised that she was called to the reading of Severus Snapes's will for she had not seen or heard from him in fifty years. She brushed away her grey hair and looked to the lawyer in interest as she was the only one in his office along with her children.

"Miss Granger thank you for being here." The lawyer softly spoke.

"It's Hermione Weasley." She softly replied. Ron was not present as he died ten years ago in a freak Quidditch accident.

"The will addresses Hermione Granger and I have to refer to you in that address for now." The lawyer responded.

"It's okay. Can we get this over with?" She asked fearing what was in the will.

The lawyer began to read. "I Severus Snape being of sound mind and body do declare this properly witnessed by the portrait Albus Dumbldore and my barrister D.A. Justice on my deathbed. All of my possessions, wealth, and potions residuals fall to one Hermione Granger Nee Weasley and her offspring. Hermione I remember that night and I cherished it as the years passed."

Hermione smiled at the words as her children looked to her in confusion.

The barrister continued uncomfortable as this was the strangest will he ever read as most were straightforward with no personal thoughts. "Hermione I hope that my worldly possessions will help you and your children as you push forward in whatever crusade that life takes you on. Remember that I will see you in the Veil when your time has come. I'll even allow you to share me with the dunderhead. After all, the Veil is just the beginning of another life."

The barrister pushed a sealed envelope across the table to Hermione. "He left this for you as well."

Hermione placed it into her robes as the barrister slid over another document listing possessions and wealth along with figures from potions residuals and signed it and passed the documents over to her children to read.

"Mum. You'll never have to work again!" Rose spoke out in a shocked voice. The combined amount resulted in over three million galleons.

"So it seems Rose but there is a lot that I can do with the money for good causes." Patting her daughter's hand and looked to the barrister. "Is there any chance that the details of his will be leaked out?"

The barrister slid a Ministry document over to her. "No Mrs. Weasley. He took care of that and it is sealed and placed in the Department of Unspeakables. The contents will never be released unless you decide to share it. I suspect that you will not do so based upon the content."

She nodded. "Did he die alone?"

"No Mrs. Weasley. The portrait of Albus Dumbledore was sent from Hogwart's to his residence. I was there as well." The barrister gathered up the paperwork. "I'll leave you now and the funds and possessions should be transferred to you in a day or so. I have no other appointments so you can stay here as long as you need to."

Rose turned to her mother shocked and pleased at the same time. "Mum an affair with none other than Severus Snape Ex-Headmaster, spy, and hero of the Wizarding world? It's delicious and I never thought you had it in you."

"Hardly an affair Rose and you take too much after your father. "35, still single and no wedding prospects in the future despite the many wizards. Your father would have been the same as you if we were not bonded for life." She admonished remembering his dalliances in the past before he died. "It was one night well before you were conceived." She could not tell her children their father's past. "And it was the only time that I was unfaithful."

Hugo looked to his mum. "But it had to mean something to him. One does not leave three million galleons to a one night stand. It's crazy that he did not contact you after dad died." Moving to hug his mother.

"I knew about Dad's other women and he never left them anything when he was through with them. I found out the day I became of age and he took me to a brothel and encouraged me to sow my oats. I was horrified when he paid for a witch and led her upstairs. He told me later that you knew."

"I was bound in marriage for life to be with him Hugo so don't feel sad for me. Just because he ran around does not mean that he was a bad man Hugo. He was an excellent father to you both and a good husband. Looking back I should have invoked a fidelity clause." She chuckled. "But the life ceremony was suggested by your grandmother and we were young then and the world ahead of us after a bloody battle and readily accepted it."

She stood up and looked to her children. "Let's get out of here. Besides you need to get going Hugo as you need to take Arthur to Diagon Alley."

Hugo stood and smiled. "You're right Mum. Now I know how you felt when we left for Hogwart's. Lily has been a wreck and has visited Aunt Ginny every day."

Rose looked to her mother. "I have a date to get ready for anyway. I expect all the juicy details of your affair."

Hermione growled out. "Incourrigible witch. Only if you give me details of your affair with Scorpius Malfoy. One that got away if I remember correctly."

Rose laughed. "Touche Mum and will think about it."

They apparated out of the room and arrived at Hermione's cottage outside of Hogsmeade. Rose immediately left without a word apparting with a loud clap.

Hugo looked to his mother in worry. "Are you going to be okay Mum? I could stay with you."

Hermione ran her hand through her son's brown hair and hissed his cheek. "Always worried about me Hugo. I'll be fine dear. Now go. You have things to do with your family. Give Lilly and Arthur my love."

Hugo stood unsure for a moment and then turned his heel and apparated away.

She walked up the path to her cottage and entered looking to a picture of Ron for a moment before moving to her bedroom. Pulling a box out from under her bed she opened it and pulled out a picture walked to her study. She confiscated it years ago from her House from a camera toting trigger happy student that reminded her of Colin Creevey in her school years that died in the Final Battle. She placed the photo and the envelope from the barrister on her desk, wiping a tear from her eye as she moved to a shelf and picked up a bottle of Firewhiskey and glass and sat down at her desk.

She picked up the photo and looked to it. It really was a good photo of him sitting at the head table, hand under his chin as he looked out to the students, looking out eyes narrowed as he picked up a cup of tea.

Had fifty years really passed since she last saw him? Pouring a large portion of firewhiskey out and drank it down in one go sputtering for a moment. Hermione placed a hand on the envelope and looked to the picture closing her eyes remembering the past.
