Chapter Twenty: My Girl

Hermione entered the quarters she now shared with Severus exhausted beyond all reason. Getting back into the swing of teaching whilst nursing and caring for a four month old baby was more than simply tiring, it was flat out draining. Not that she would change a single moment of it. She tossed her satchel onto the sofa and her brow furrowed quizzically as she walked towards the baby�s room. She peeked around the corner and her heart melted at the sight that awaited her.

Severus was standing near the window with Eve in his arms rocking back and forth and singing to her softly. His voice was deep, rough and out of tune but Eve didn�t seem to mind as she was staring up at her father without blinking. She was very much Daddy�s girl. His voice alone was enough to set little feet to kicking and arms to waving. Her very first smile was for Severus and if she could voice a preference for people Hermione had no doubt that her father would be her favorite.

Her heart was full of love for the two people who at the moment were completely oblivious to her. Her family was everything she had hoped it could be. Content that all was well she made her way back to the living room and laid down on the sofa, figuring she would catch a little nap before Severus had to leave for class. Within moments exhaustion claimed her and she was deeply asleep.

A short time later Severus carried Eve into the living room to find Hermione sound asleep on the couch. He needed to get ready for class but couldn�t bring himself to wake her. She was running on so few hours of sleep every day that he feared she would collapse. Deciding that she needed the rest Severus went back into the baby�s room and called for a house elf.

�Yes, Master Snape?� The creature who called herself Will asked.

�Professor Granger is resting and I have a class to teach, can you look after the baby?� He asked.

�But Master Snape�� Severus placed Eve in Will�s arms and immediately the baby began to cry. He took her back and her crying stopped only to begin again when he tried to give her to the servant.

�What the devil is wrong with her?� Severus looked concerned as he cradled Eve close to him.

�I was going to tells you, sir. Missy Eve not likes the house elves, sir. She say she wants her daddy or mummy. Rights now she wish to go with her daddy.� Will said.

�How can you possibly know what she wants?� Severus looked at the peculiar little elf curiously.

�Elf magic, Sir. We hears the thoughts of the innocent, it is pure magic.� Will smiled and revealed a row of sharp, crooked teeth.

�You are going to cry until you get your way aren�t you?� Severus stared down at his daughter and she smiled. There was no chance of refusing her then. Severus Snape had been brought to his knees by a 13 pound little witch and he was loving every minute of it. �Will, could you please take Eve�s bouncer to my classroom and pack her diaper bag with anything I may need?�

�Yes, sir! Right away!� The little elf was a blur of activity as she followed his instructions. Severus slipped out the door quietly, making sure to leave a note for Hermione in case she woke. With Eve cradled in his arms he made his way through the halls and down into the dungeons. When he arrived at his classroom Eve�s bouncer was sitting on his desk, a shock of bright colors in the dingy, dim room.

�I suppose it isn�t too early to begin educating you. I don�t want you turning out like half of the idiots that come through this school.� Severus spoke to her as though talking to another adult. He didn�t believe in baby talk and felt that his daughter understood what he was saying just fine, even if she couldn�t respond to it just yet. He fastened her into the little bouncer seat and turned her so she could see him while he wrote out the days assignment on the board.

�They are brewing sleeping potion today.� As he explained Eve kicked her feet happily, the sound of her father�s voice both comforting and highly entertaining. �No doubt more than one of the little morons will inhale the fumes and pass out on their desks.� He turned his head towards her when he heard the soft cooing sound she made and he smiled. To Severus it meant his daughter was brilliant and actually trying to hold a conversation with him at the tender age of 16 weeks old.

He heard the first of his students enter and put the familiar scowl on his face before turning to face them. Not a one of them paid him any mind; they were rushing to his desk to play with Eve. She had, in her few months of life, become the most popular girl at Hogwarts. Students went wild when she was seen in the halls or at meals, they would flock to her with their high pitched voices making kissy faces and wriggling their fingers at her.

They had given up asking to hold her. Severus wasn�t big on allowing anyone to hold his baby girl aside from himself and Hermione. Of course that was backfiring on him now as Eve didn�t care much for anyone aside from her parents and to his dismay, Richie Dumont, so it left them with few options for childcare. Neither of them wanted to leave her if she was crying so they had been able to work out a schedule so that they didn�t teach classes at the same time that way while one was busy the other could tend to Eve.

�Enough, take your seats.� Severus barked as the remainder of his students arrived for class. A murmur of surprise at seeing the baby flitted over the rest of the class. It was always a bit of a shock to see the potions master with the child, especially because he looked�.well�happy. But he had never had her in class before, so to see the chubby little baby with her thick black hair sitting in front of the dismal classroom in a pink romper sitting in a brightly colored bouncer was a bit distracting.

�You will be brewing Belladonna Sleeping Draught today. I would advise you to take care when leaning over your cauldron as the fumes can be potent in close proximity.� Severus cast a protective ward around his daughter to protect her from exposure. �When you have completed your work you will NOT bring your finished potion to my desk per usual, instead you will mark it with your name and place it on the empty shelf above the sink.� He folded his arms and glared at them all. �Anyone who dares bring their potion within five feet of my daughter will get detention for the remainder of the school year.�

Severus�s frown deepened at the sound of a rather maniacal sounding laugh. If it had come from one of his students it would have been easier to deal with, but as he turned his head he realized that the strange sounding belly laugh had come from his daughter. Upon seeing his glare, the odd little sound erupted forth once more. This caused the classroom to erupt into fits of laughter.

�Silence!� Severus roared, only to have his daughter laugh once again. �Get your ingredients and get to work!�

He turned his back on the room and approached Eve in her seat. Her dark eyes, flecked with gold, were sparkling and her rosebud lips were stretched open in a grin. She had laughed out loud. Her first real laughter and it had been while he was trying to be stern with his class. He scowled at her and she began to laugh again.

�So you find daddy funny when he is angry do you?� He asked, deliberately glaring at her and invoking more maniacal laughter. �Is this going to be your reaction from now on?�

The sound of Eve�s laughter was not what Severus had expected. Not that he ever really considered what her laughter would sound like. He supposed he figured her to have a light, tinkling laughter like her mother. Not the rich, deep belly laugh that made her sound like some evil villain in a muggle film.

�You know, this is going to make disciplining you difficult?� He huffed, her laughter now accompanied by little squeals of delight. Severus couldn�t stop his grin, she was without a doubt the most amazing child and he was pretty certain that there had never been a more brilliant child born to anyone, muggle or wizard, anywhere else in the world.

By the time class had ended the students were a nervous wreck. Not because of an explosion or major mishap, only one student had succumbed to the fumes, and not because their professor had yelled at them. It was the opposite actually. What had them all quaking was the laughter of the man they were convinced had no feelings, the man who they were CERTAIN had no sense of humor. Yet from within his office rang loud, rusty barks of laughter accompanied by the soft, belly laugh of the baby. Making the children wonder just what kind of witch young Eve Snape would grow up to be.

When Hermione finally woke up she was still lying on the sofa in the same position as when she first lay down. The room however was extremely dim as the sun was setting outside. She had been asleep for several hours. She sat up abruptly and her eyes caught the piece of parchment on the coffee table.

Hermione,

You were sleeping so peacefully I couldn�t wake you. You need your rest so I am taking Eve with me to class as she apparently dislikes the house elves. So sleep and do not worry, all is well.

Love,

Severus

She had to smile. Eve didn�t like house elves? Likely story, no doubt their charming little girl had fussed a little and her over indulgent father had determined that it was for the best if she remained with him. She glanced at the clock above the mantle and saw that it was time for dinner. It was also time for Eve to eat as her aching breasts could attest.

She slipped back into her teaching robes and made her way to the great hall. She entered through the staff entrance and saw that Severus had Eve�s pram with her sleeping peacefully inside. Upon seeing her he rose from his seat and pulled out her chair flushing a bit when she lifted up to kiss his cheek.

�Thank you for letting me sleep.� She said, settling into her place at the table.

�You needed it. I have been concerned about your health of late.� He said, laying his napkin across his lap.

�She wasn�t too much trouble was she?� Hermione felt guilty that Severus had been tending to Eve on his own for most of the day. He had been wonderful since her birth, more than she would have thought. He was very much a hands on parent; he even changed nappies though he complained the entire time about it. He hadn�t even complained about the sad lack of sex in their relationship since Eve came along, both of them generally too tired to even care by the time bedtime rolled around.

She glanced over at him and felt the stirrings of desire. Maybe it had just been too long, maybe it was a result of finally getting a decent amount of uninterrupted sleep, but she wanted him. Heat washed over her, desire mixed with the love she felt for him. As her plate appeared before her she laid her hand on his thigh beneath the table earning her a curious, sidelong glance from Severus.

It had been a while since he had seen that look on her face. It, along with her hand on his thigh earned an immediate reaction from him. Their sex life had taken a back burner in recent weeks as every time things heated up Eve would choose that moment to wake up needing attention. But, in the last week she was sleeping longer stretches and now that Hermione had gotten a little rest, maybe his night would be more pleasant than he thought..

�She was no trouble at all.� He said, laying his hand on top of hers and sliding it a bit further up his thigh. �She laughed today.�

�Out loud? Oh, I missed it!� She said disappointedly. �Was it beautiful?�

�It was devious is what it was. She sounds like a little villain when she laughs. Not to mention that she laughs at me while I am addressing the class sternly. The child has no respect for me at all.� He said.

�No, she has no fear of you. Not that she should, she has you whipped already and it is only going to get worse. That little girl is going to lead you around by your nose for her entire life and you are going to let her.� Hermione chuckled.

�It would be ignorant for me to deny it.� He said, pulling her hand more to the inside of this thigh.

�Severus�what time do you have patrols tonight?� She asked, curling her nails into the tender skin of his inner thigh.

�Nine.� He answered.

�Perfect.� Hermione grinned, plans already hatching for the night ahead.
