New York - Avalon University

Dear Hermione,

How did I know it was your birthday? I was your teacher for nearly seven years, of course I remember when your birthday is. Every year Potter and Weasley would make a big deal out of September 19th. Also Minerva mentioned it once or twice.

I'm glad you like the book; it was very helpful to me when I did my degree. Talking of University, Professor Glover wrote to me today to arrange me coming to New York again earlier than December. I will have to speak with Minerva tonight after our staff meeting and see when I am able to come over. Once I know I will let you know and we could once again meet for coffee and discuss your plans to be my apprentice.

I have received your last year's assignment this morning so will spend the evening reading through it. I expect you are having a much more interesting evening than I.

I hope you are well

Severus

Hermione smiled and laid back on her bed thinking of Severus reading the Potions assignment. She could imagine him sat in his arm chair in his living room or office reading through her work probably scolding her for mistakes.

Hermione placed the letter on her side cabinet and grabbed her muggle laptop. She picked it up off her desk and opened it on her bed. She looked at her clock and quickly turned on her laptop.

Every Friday night, Hermione would have a video call with Ginny. As Hermione was five hours behind and it was now only nine o'clock in the evening it meant at home it was only just after four which was when Ginny got home from work.

Hermione signed onto her laptop and signed into her messenger. As soon as she was online, Ginny popped up. Harry had gotten Ginny her own laptop and sorted out getting muggle electricity to the Burrow so Hermione and Ginny could talk. Of course Arthur didn't mind one bit; he was also bugging Harry or Ginny to let him try it out.

'Ginny!' Hermione said as Ginny appeared on her screen.

Ginny still looked exactly as she did at eighteen. Her skin was perfect, her eyes bright and her hair perfect, not one but out of place.

'Hi Hermione! How are you?' Ginny said as she sat down at her desk in her room.

'I'm good. What about you? What you been up to?' Hermione asked as she got herself comfortable.

'I'm really good. Work is going really well actually, I think I might get a promotion soon; well I'm going to try for one. Harry took me to a lush restaurant last night. It was amazing and so romantic. I even got to stay round at Grimmauld.' She said smiling with a cheeky smile.

'Spare me the details please.' Hermione said as she smiled at Ginny. 'How did you get your parents to agree to you staying round at Grimmauld?' Hermione asked.

'I didn't Harry did.' She said smiling. 'He just owled me at work saying we were going out and to pack an overnight bag.'

'That's so sweet of him. I'm so jealous of you Gin. I wish I could find someone like Harry.' Hermione said as she sighed. 'I just want to be loved.'

'I love you Hermione.' Ginny said as she looked into the camera. 'I know it's not the same but people love you and you will find someone. You just have to wait. I was lucky.'

'Very and I hope you know it.' Hermione said as she looked at Hermione.

'I know I am.' She said as she smiled dreamingly. 'I can't wait until were married and have children. I dream about what our children will look like.'

'I'm sure they'd be beautiful and Auntie Hermione will love the bones of them.' Hermione replied.

'I wish things had worked for you and Ron.' Ginny said. 'I would have loved you to have been an official Weasley.'

'We can still be close Ginny without me being family so to say.' Hermione said.

'I have six well let's not count Bill or Ron so five brothers, any take your fancy?' Ginny said giggling.

'I'm afraid I'll pass.' Hermione said laughing.

'Maybe I could set you up with someone from work?' Ginny said. 'What's your type?'

'I don't really have a type; well I do. It would have to be someone smart, someone I could have a good conversation with I suppose. I'm not bothered with looks to be honest.' She replied.

'I could imagine you with someone smart and older.' Ginny said smiling. 'You need someone older because you're so mature. Maybe I could set you up with Jeffery.'

'Jeffery?' Hermione questioned.

'Yeah he's my manager of sorts. He's just got divorced he's thirty five.' She said smiling.

'Divorced?' Hermione said. 'I don't think so Ginny.'

'What about Viktor? Do you still write to each other? You two would be perfect together.' Ginny said.

'Viktor is getting married Gin.' Hermione said. 'She's a lovely German Witch, very beautiful.'

'And so are you!' Ginny said.

'Thanks Gin but I'm no model.' Hermione said as she sat back on her bed. 'I don't know, I've given up on love really. My last relationship was nothing to write home about. Cole was horrible and when I found out he was seeing other people well I don't know if I could trust someone again.'

'Cole was a wanker Mione! You were way too good for him and you can trust someone it just takes a while and when you meet someone else it will be hard but you will be able to trust again.' Ginny said

'Hopefully.' She said smiling.

'I heard Snape came to New York and gave a lecture?' Ginny said

'He did. It was really good. They loved him here; they thought he was like God to potions.' She said giggling. 'We went for coffee afterwards and had a good chat about potions and University. He asked me to be his apprentice when I finish my degree. I can't wait Ginny.'

'Sounds like you had a good time with him.' Ginny said surprised. 'So you'll be going back to Hogwarts?'

'I think so.' She said smiling. 'I can't wait.'

'I can tell.' Ginny said. 'Well at least you'll be near it will be so much easier if you're near home.'

'It sure will be; I can't wait Gin it will be so good.' Hermione said.

'When are you coming back home?' Ginny asked.

'Christmas.' She said smiling. 'So not too long.'

'It's too long for me.' Ginny said sadly. 'I miss you not being here. I miss having girl company. Fleur or Angelina just don't get me.'

'I'm always an owl or video call away.' Hermione said. 'I could get a portkey home for one weekend?'

'Could you?' Ginny asked.

'Well I suppose I could come back for a long weekend as I always have Fridays off.' She said. 'I'll see if I can get a portkey.'

'Okay. Hermione it will be so good if you can.' She said smiling. 'I have to go now, Harry and I are taking Teddy to the cinema.'

'Give Teddy and Harry a hug from me. Speak soon! Love you.' Hermione said as she waved.

'Bye! Love you too.' Ginny said and then the call went dead.

Hermione shut down her laptop and then walked over to her desk. She sat down and grabbed her note pad and started writing a letter to Severus.

Dear Severus,

I seem to forget you were my teacher. You seem so much different than when I was in your class. To be totally honest, you use to scare me just a little but I think you already knew that.

Minerva, I should have known she would have mentioned it. She had been like a mother to be since...well since the War. I don't know what I would have done without her. She sent me a lovely book about charms for my birthday, very helpful.

It seems I also will be coming home sooner than scheduled. I'm thinking of coming over in a few weeks time to spend some time with Ginny and Harry. I was wondering when I'm back if we could talk about the apprenticeship? I'll let you know the date for when I'm coming to Scotland.

I will probably drop into Hogwarts anyway to see Minerva so if I do I'll come say Hello if you're not too busy.

How did you find my assignment? I have to admit it wasn't my best. I was going through a tough time when I was doing that particular assignment my mind wasn't exactly on task but I still managed to get a decent grade. Of course if I was to work for you I wouldn't let personal issues get in the way. I would work to the best of my ability.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hermione.

'Hermione...You in there? Hermione?' Alyssa said as she knocked on Hermione's door.

'Come in.' Hermione said as she put her letter to Severus in her desk draw.

'Hi.' Alyssa said as she opened the door. She looked better than she did earlier today. 'I was wondering if you want to join me for a drink tonight?'

'Yeah why not. Let me get dressed and will go.' She said as she stood up.

'Alright. Meet you in the living room.' She said as she closed Hermione's door giving her privacy.

Hermione quickly got dressed into her black skinny jeans and a white tank top. She grabbed her grey cardigan from the back of her door, slipped on her black ballet flats and went to meet Alyssa in the living room.

The two girls walked through the cold streets of New York to their favourite bar. They girls grabbed a table at the back of the bar and ordered cocktails. Three cocktails later both Alyssa and Hermione were feeling slightly tipsy. Daniel had joined them sometime later as well as Kyle.

When the bar closed at midnight. Daniel and Alyssa slipped off somewhere to be alone leaving Kyle and Hermione. Kyle managed to pull, kissed Hermione goodnight and went on his way leaving her alone.

Hermione grabbed her bag and coat and started the walk alone home. The weather was cold in September and it started to rain as Hermione walked through the streets. Hermione pulled her bag over her shoulder and pulled her cardigan around her and continued her walk.

Five minutes into her walk Hermione caught sight of a dark figure walking behind her. She kept walking and moved her head to the side to tried to get a look at who was walking behind her.

Hermione sped up and noticed that the dark figure behind her too sped up. Hermione reached into her bag for her wand. She slowly slipped her hand discreetly into her black bag and slowly pulled it out. Hermione held her wand in her hand just encase the dark figure behind her moved towards her.

Hermione took the next street and walked up the road. The dark figure did not follow. She sighed with relief and put her wand back into her bag. She continued her walk; she was only five minutes away from her flat.

As Hermione pasted the alleyway short cut she was grabbed out of nowhere and pulled into the alleyway. Her hands were pinned above her head and she tried to scream but a silencing spell had been placed on her. She looked straight at her attack and gasped.
