Chapter Twenty Six: A Long Awaited Reunion

Albus Dumbledore sat the head table, his staff surrounding him. He looked out over the students that were filling the room, and smiled. Standing, he addressed them. " Good evening young students!" He beamed at them. "I have something to announce, before you settle in to what I'm sure will be a wonderful feast." He paused and let his eyes fall on Harry Potter, and the remaining Weasleys. They then traveled up and down each of the long tables.

"I would like to inform you of the up and coming Yule ball. Which will be held on Christmas Eve." He paused then, to allow for the rambunctious cheers that filled the room. "Now, sit down, tuck in, and enjoy your dinners!" he concluded with a twinkle.

Taking his seat, he pulled out a scroll of parchment, and a quill. Minerva glanced at him, "Albus, are you not hungry?"

"Not anymore my dear, I've just finished my delicious meal of meatloaf and lime…"

"Never mind!" she snapped. "Stop before I lose my appetite.

Albus chuckled softly, before continuing his letter.

Hermione shivered. It's cold. She thought to herself. She tightened her grip on her daughter. Sadie…it's okay baby girl…Mummy's going to keep you warm.

Glancing around her, Hermione noticed the familiar purple light surrounding her in the inky blackness. She seemed to be floating. This light…I've seen it somewhere before…

Her eyes widened in realization. Severus…

Hermione squeezed her eyes shut, as she held her daughter against her. Waiting. After what seemed like hours, she felt warmth surround her. Relaxing slightly, she let out the breath she hadn't known she'd been holding. She saw red from behind her eyelids, and upon opening her eyes, she saw that her surroundings were getting brighter.

Then it hit her. There were voices all around her. Some she recognized, and many she didn't. there was a flash of white light, and suddenly she felt her feet hit solid stone. Blinking back the stars that seemed to be everywhere in her line of vision, she was vaguely aware that the talking had stopped completely.

When the light had flashed, the entire room had silenced. A silence that was broken by the piercing wail of an infant.

When Hermione's vision cleared, she looked on in shock. I'm home…

"Hermione!" Harry and Ginny called out.

"Granger's back!" Some upset Slytherins grumped.

"Mione!" Ron gasped.

Her eyes searched, and landed on a pair of shocked, charcoal orbs that were fixed on her. Unblinking.

The sound of wood being scraped against stone reverberated through the great hall, echoing against the stone, and the rafters above them. The majority of the students in the room looked for the source of the sound. There was a hesitant silence.

Professor Snape had stood, and was walking down the isle between the Hufflepuff and Slytherin tables.

Every pair of eyes were on the snaky potions teacher as his steps sped up. Soon there was a collective gasp as he was full out running toward Hermione.

"Severus!" she cried out as he reached her. She let him throw his arms around her and their daughter.

Severus bent and kissed her as if he was afraid she wasn't real, while Hermione used her free arm to clutch at him, holding him against her.

"Severus…" Hermione moaned against his lips.

Soon though, they were interrupted by the outraged cries of Ron.

The pair jerked slightly, before Severus took Hermione's hand in his own, and led her quickly out of the hall.

They hurried down the long corridors, until they reached the dungeons. Slipping inside Severus' private quarters, they let the door shut behind them. Sadie was still crying, and Hermione was trying to sooth her.

"Hush now darling, you're alright…It's okay baby…" Hermione whispered.

"Sadie." Severus silky voice crooned, as he retrieved his daughter. The baby quieted at once. Large gray orbs peered up at another similar pair.

Severus smiled as chubby little legs kicked his arm. He placed a feather light kiss on his child's brow and looked at Hermione, tears in his eyes. "Hermione."

"Severus…h-how are you?" Hermione stammered. True, she had just seen him, but for him, a long seventeen years had passed. "Severus…I'm sorry. I didn't know that I would…"

"It's okay. I'm okay…now." he told her, a rare smile on his lips.

"Oh, Severus…" Hermione murmured, leaning in to kiss him.

He accepted the kiss immediately, and closed his eyes, relishing in the feel of her lips, finally on his own. Their mouths moved together in tandem, first light, then more passionate, as teeth began to nibble.

They were so absorbed in the kiss that they did not hear the door slam against the wall, and shut even louder.

"Dad!" A distinct male voice said in shock.

Hermione pulled away from her husband, and turned to see her son.

There he stood., slightly taller than her, he had the build of a Chaser. Straight, chocolaty brown hair fell to his shoulders, held back at the nape of his neck by a leather cord. His bangs were slightly shorter than the rest of his hair, and he had parted it, so it framed his face, only a single small strand fell in his shocked gray eyes.

"S-Severin?" she asked tentatively, taking a step toward him.

"Mum?" Severin asked shocked. He turned to his father. "Hermione Granger is my Mum?"

Severus nodded.

"I thought Granger looked similar to the pictures of Mum, but you didn't tell me that she was her!" Severin said, confused.

"Would it be safe to assume that you feared that he would say something to me had he known?" Hermione asked her husband.

"Yes." Severus replied. "I did not want an overly excited thirteen year old who was already upset that a certain witch was outdoing him in every subject, despite the fact that he was in Ravenclaw, know that said witch was his long lost mother. He might have told you things you did not need to know at such an early date."

"Ah. I suppose I'll have to forgive it then." Hermione smiled.

"Thank you." Severus smirked, arrogantly. "I knew you'd see my side of things."

Hermione laughed. "You know who you just sounded like, don't you?"

At her husbands confused expression, she told him. "James." she pondered her words for a split second. " Maybe Sirius too, come to think of it."

Severus scowled at her, before laughing. "I suppose you're right dear."

Severin watched his parents banter for a moment, before asking, "Is that…my…my…" he seemed to struggle with how to word his question.

"Your twin sister Sadie…or rather…would it be his baby sister now?" Hermione asked Severus, who was handing Sadie over to his son, so that he could hold her.

"To those who know, it is his twin. To those who don't, Sadie is his little sister." Severus said.

"If that's to be the case then wouldn't the whole school think that the reason Hermione…I mean Mum, went missing, was because the two of you were having an illegal liaison while she was still a student, and she got pregnant during said affair?" Severin asked, reverting his gaze back onto his parents.

"…" The two stared at their son, speechless.

"Bollocks!" Severus swore.

"He's right you know." Hermione told him. "And don't swear."

"Yes, yes." he agreed.

"Also," Severin said, letting Sadie take hold of his pinkie finger. "If I were the two of you, I would make use of the upcoming holiday, since you haven't seen each other in seventeen years."

Hermione stared at her boy in shock. Is he suggesting what I think he's suggesting? she thought.

"That's a fine idea, son." Severus told him.

Severin smiled at the complement. "Go." he told them. "I can talk to Mum later, but if I know Harry and Weasley, they'll be here soon. You'd better get a move on."

Hermione opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Severus beat her to it. "You will be fine with your sister then?" he asked.

"Yeah. But I'd hurry, I think I can hear them coming, they sound like a herd of elephants running down the halls." Severin grinned.

"Yes, well…shall we?" Severus asked Hermione.

"Be safe." She told Severin. She leaned up, and pressed a chaste kiss on his forehead, and then did the same for her baby. "We'll be back soon…"

"Not too soon." she heard her husband mutter.

Blushing, she let him lead her to the fire. He took a pinch of floo powder, and tossed it into the flames. "Spinners End!" He declared, and a flash of green whisked them away.

Severin watched his parents disappear into the fire, a smile on his face. "Did you see that Sadie?" he asked the drowsy baby, who snuggled closer, her tiny thumb finding it's way to her mouth. " I haven't seen Dad that happy since I got into Hogwarts."
