Pix ran down the hallway of Saint Mungo’s towards the pacing Severus Snape. She had been sent an owl when Hermione’s water broke and from there it had only taken her twenty minutes to get dressed, send a note out to Percy and then apperate to the hospital. Pix had never met Severus Snape, though she had heard about him enough and she was taken aback with how scary he appeared. She couldn’t see Hermione with this man, even in his state of fear and anxiety she could see that he was definitely a Death Eater at one point, he just looked like one. Then Percy’s mother came around the corner and pulled the man in to a quick hug which turned in to questions.
“Is she alone in there?” Molly Weasley asked.
“No” He answered “Remus is in there”
“What?!” She snapped and smacked his arm “Why aren’t you in there?!”
“I can’t” He answered, Pix looked at his extremely pale face and sighed “I can see a lot but seeing her in pain…the blood…” He looked wobbly and Pix helped bring him to a bench.
“It’s okay dear” She pulled him against her “Arthur wasn’t with me for Bill, Charlie, the twins or Ginny”
“Couldn’t get here in time?” Severus asked.
“Same reason you’re not in there with Hermione and Remus is” Molly said “And Remus wasn’t in there with Tonks, Harry was. People say that birth is a beautiful thing but really it’s a terrifying thing, especially if you’re watching your wife having a difficult time with it”
“Mrs. Weasley” A Healer walked out “Mrs. Snape is asking for you”
“But Remus Lupin is in there” She pointed out “Is everything okay?”
“It’s going well” The Healer answered “But she’s a little stronger than we were all prepared for, most of all Remus and she broke two of his knuckles. We’re getting them fixed but she wants you in there now, instead of him” Molly nodded, gave Severus a pat on the back and then headed in to the room where Hermione was giving birth.
Severus paced the floor as he waited, when Remus came out apologizing he shook his head telling him that it was okay. Hermione’s parents had been told that she was in labor but weren’t able to come to the hospital because it was magical and they weren’t. She had been in the room for ages, he was sure that something had gone wrong because healers would come in and go out without any word. His head was pounding and his bottom lip was bleeding from biting it so much. Then, finally the door was pushed open and a healer walked out coming straight towards him with a bundle in her arms.
“Congratulations, Mr. Snape” She said “You’ve a daughter”
“Aibhlinn?” He whispered and looked down at the bundle now being placed in his arms. He looked down at the surprisingly quiet child in his arms, she had dark curls and her eyes were shut, though he assumed they’d be dark too. She reached out with a tiny hand and touched his finger sighing when she found it “And Hermione?”
“Exhausted” Answered the Healer “But she’s fine. We gave her a potion for the pain, blood replenishing potion and after she held the baby for a few minutes we gave her a sleeping draught as well” He opened his mouth and she held up her hand “We only used the potions she gave us before the baby came, the potions that you made”
“Can I go in?” He asked, lifting his head from looking at his little girl.
“Yes” She answered “The room is clean and sterile again. The potion will work for five hours and then she has to have a nutrient potion and a pepper-up potion”
“Thank you” He said as he walked in to the room. Molly smiled and walked past him and kissed him on the cheek congratulating him as she went by.

Hermione sighed as she and Severus reentered their rooms at Hogwarts. She had spent two days in the hospital taking potions and resting her body but finally she couldn’t take being in bed any longer and told them that she was going to go insane if they didn’t let her out. Severus hovered around her like an angry bee, he wouldn’t let her do anything and she was an inch from yelling at him. He was, however, so cute when he held their daughter and answered every one of her little cries. The brooding, scary and mean Potions Master was now completely wrapped around the finger of a little girl weighing in at 6lbs 4oz and is 19inches long. Hermione was highly amused.
Learning to be a mother was hard, strange. She had to wake up numerous times in the night and breast feed, her boobs were huge and she wasn’t losing the weight like she hoped. Ginny had lost at least half her weight by her fourth week after having Lily but Hermione was still pretty big at two weeks past. She was also chomping at the bit to get back to work and put her plans back in to action. So, on a Sunday when Severus was rocking Aibhlinn in the rocking chair in her nursery Hermione walked in and sat down across for him.
“Severus” She started and he raised his eyes to her “I’m going to work tomorrow”
“But…” He started.
“I can take Aibhlinn with me as there is a spot for her to sleep and even a bassinet set up for her” She said.
“You just gave birth two weeks ago” He pointed out “Hermione, work isn’t the most important thing in the world anymore…our daughter is
“I know” She said “But when she turns seventeen do you want her to be set up by the ministry to marry someone she doesn’t know or worse…an enemy she does know and hate?”
“Why is it so important to go back now?” He asked, putting the baby in her bassinet he stood and led the way to another room where they could a little louder than a whisper “What’s another two weeks?” He asked “Or even three?”
“Six weeks out of work will severely set me back in my plans” Hermione said “You need to trust that I know what I’m doing, Severus”
“I trust you” He said “But I don’t want you to put your health on the line for this, I can’t raise her alone so I repeat, why is it so important that you go back to work so soon…what is your plan?”
“I only have seven months” She said.
“Until what?” He asked.
“Until the wizarding world can vote in a new Ministry of Magic” She answered “I have to prove to the public that I have their best interest at heart and then I have a few prominent people put me in the vote…I trust with my influence in there they will see that I am the best candidate for the Minister’s position”
“You’re trying to steal Percy’s position?” He asked.
“Yes” She answered with a smile.
