AN: I kind of see the Snape house similar to the one in
Remains of the Day with Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins, if you�ve seen it. I
see Hermione and Ginny living in a 2-3 bedroom cottage.

It makes me sad to think my children will never find a
carefully preserved packet of love letters. People have stopped keeping
physical diaries, throwing them aside for computing, where editing may be made
to make your initial opinions or responses more acceptable to other people. I
keep a real diary. It may be embarrassing, but it�s honest. It�s the least I
can do for my future wee ones. We live in such interesting times, I think it�s
a shame to put aside physical correspondence for something that can be so
easily tossed aside and forgotten. Don�t let them forget. Our bloodlines will
last for centuries; let our memories and commentary last with them :)

Hermione and Severus will continue writing to each other.
(Stomping foot firmly.)

To those who are truly nosy as to the illustrations should
read my fics: Finally Neville and Small Beginnings. They�re Neville/Mary Sue
and Lucius/ Narcissa, but I was a bit�.frustrated when I wrote them. (Review
them!!)

Renegade: Thanks for the review! I had to do the letter
thing a few times before I believed it :)

Emma-Kitty: Thank you for reviewing pretty much everything I
write!!! You rock!

Rowan: First time you�ve seen this pairing? Good lord,
woman, let us convert you!

Thanks to everyone for reviewing! This is the most popular
fic I�ve written!

Heavenly Angel Chapter 5

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Severus was startled out of his reverie by a loud hooting
from the window. A softly simmering cauldron was gently covered and he opened
the window.

�What do you want, obnoxious bird?� Severus asked.

Caesar hopped in the window and shook the letter at Severus.

�Already?� Severus frowned as he reached for the letter.

The first thing he noticed was her writing was scrawled
hurriedly and she had lost complete control of her sealing wax. He frowned and
ripped it open as he walked to his desk.

DON�T ADD LEPIDOLITE
TO THE STASIS POTION!!!

(He was surprised she didn�t send him a howler.)

It will make the
potion too acidic when it bonds to the weasel blood and eventually disintegrate
anything containing chlorophyll. Double check it in O�Brien�s Encyclopedia of Minerals.

(Severus frowned. That book was rare, at best. How in blazes
did she get a copy?)

Thank you for the
necklace. It�s lovely.

(Well, at least she acknowledged it. He chuckled in spite of
himself. Infuriating, stubborn, wench.)

Good luck with dad,
you�ll need it.

(What in blazes was that supposed to mean?)

Yours,

Hermione

Severus drummed his fingers on his desk. How was he supposed
to check something in a book that hadn�t been printed in centuries?

He pulled out his stationary set out of his desk and
scrawled a note as the wax melted over the tiny burner.

Caesar hooted at him as he tried to tie the letter around
his neck.

�Hold still, you,� Severus said, annoyed. The owl continued
to squirm. �Listen, I know it�s a lot of work for one day. I also know the
Weasley girl feeds you treats whenever you show up.�

The owl seemed to ponder this for a moment while Severus
fastened the letter. He hooted loudly at a small jar on the corner of an end
table. Severus sighed and retrieved him an owl treat.

�Go, spoiled owl,� Severus said, waiving him out the window.

Caesar soared out of the window and over the orchards.
Severus watched him until he was a miniscule dot in the sky.

***

�Are you back?� Ginny asked, surprised as Caesar scratched
at the kitchen window. She opened the window and he flew back to the perch he
took during his last visit, practically knocking Pigwidgeon off it. He hooted
loudly at the ice box.

�What�s put you in a mood?� Hermione asked the owl, looking
up from her book.

He hooted again. Pigwidgeon joined him in a chorus.

�Too many bloody owls in here,� Ron said as he walked into
the kitchen.

�Who let you in?� Hermione teased, making a face at him.

>&nb>

Ginny trotted across the kitchen to hug Ron. Hermione rose
and kissed him on the cheek. He grinned at her.

�How�s Luna?� Ginny asked.

�Fat,� Ron said. �And beginning to drive me batty.�

�She�s nesting, Ron,� said Hermione. �I have a book I can
loan you-

�Forget it,� Ron said. �There�s not enough time in the day.
My bedroom has turned odd colors of flannel overnight.�

�It�s easy to clean,� Ginny said, stubbornly defending her
sister-in-law. �Babies spit up all over everything.�

�When is the baby
due?� Hermione asked, walking to Caesar to retrieve her letter.

�Another month,� said Ron, grinning. �Snape still bothering
you?�

Ginny burst into a fit of giggles and ran from the room.

�What�s with her?� Ron asked.

Hermione was torn. Ron was her best friend. Severus was, in
his words, courting her. Ron was bound to find out, but it was all still in the
early stages. She hadn�t even seen Severus since he sent his letter. She didn�t
know what to tell him.

Ron frowned at her.

�Tell me whatever it is,� he demanded.

�What?� Hermione said, trying to look innocent.

�You get that little crease between your eyes when
something�s going on,� said Ron. �Tell me or I�ll shake Ginny until she tells
me.�

�What?� Hermione asked laughing.

�Well, she must be nearly bursting,� said Ron. �Otherwise
she�d still be here.�

�I think you�d better sit down,� said Hermione.

She poured tea for them. She carefully began telling him
about the first letter, gauging his responses as she went. She didn�t want him
to over-react. He seemed to be fine. Actually, he seemed to be as amused as
Ginny, to Hermione�s annoyance.

�So, he sent you a novel-sized love letter?� Ron laughed.

�Illustrated, even,� Ginny piped up as she returned to the
kitchen, grinning widely as she slipped the owls treats.

�Oh, come on, Hermione,� pleaded Ron. �I�ve got to see it.�

�No!� Hermione gasped. �Never! Don�t you dare!�

�Wonder where she keeps it?� Ginny mused.

�I�ll jinx it,� warned Hermione.

�Fine then,� said Ron. Ginny poured herself a cup of tea and
left the room again.

�What did you tell him?� Ron asked.

�Whatever do you mean?� Hermione asked.

�I mean, you still have that crease between your eyes,� Ron
quirked an eyebrow at her. �Nice necklace.�

�Thanks,� said Hermione, turning pink. She tucked the chain
under her jumper.

She went on to tell him about her letter and Severus� reply.

�Then the idiotic git wanted to put lepidolite in the stasis
potion,� said Hermione angrily.

�What did you do?� Ron asked, afraid he knew the answer.

�I owled him telling him if he was worth his salt he�d know
more about the ingredients he was working with,� Hermione said haughtily.

�Hope you remembered to thank him,� Ron chuckled.

�Of course I did,� Hermione said, annoyed.

�What a letter that must�ve been,� Ron said, his shoulders
shaking. �Ginny know about the necklace?�

�Not exactly,� said Hermione awkwardly.

�Well, I�m not going to tell her,� said Ron. Hermione was
surprised.

�Really?� Hermione asked.

�This is too good,� Ron said, grinning. �I�m going to keep
this one.�

�Gee, thanks,� Hermione said sarcastically.

�How you explaining all the owls?� Ron asked, curiously.

�We�re still working on the stasis potion,� Hermione said.

�Freaks in love,� Ron shook his head. �What�s this letter sa/p>
/p>

�I�m not going to show you,� Hermione said frantically,
reaching for her wand.

�Hold on,� Ron said laughing and holding both hands up. �You
read it and edit as you see fit.�

�You think this whole thing is funny, don�t you?� Hermione
glared as she ripped the envelope open. A blue mist smelling of cake wafted
out. A small blue pouch landed on the table.

�Oh, yes,� said Ron. �Nearly as good as when you had a
tail.�

�Oops,� Hermione said, reading the letter. She passed it to
Ron.

�You sure?� Ron asked.

�I�m sure,� Hermione said. She leaned back and grabbed a tin
of biscuits from the counter behind her. She opened it and Ron reached for one.

Dearest Hermione,

Perhaps you should
read your books more thoroughly. More to the point, the publishing information.
The tome you suggested to me has been out of print for a few hundred years. How
in blazes did you get a copy? I would very much like to see it.

Yours,

Severus

�Such passionate letters,� said Ron, his eyebrows raised. �I
don�t know how you contain yourself.�

�Oh, shut up,� Hermione snapped as she grabbed her letter
back. �I don�t even know why I told you.�

�Because you had to tell someone and Ginny wouldn�t ever you
alone,� said Ron, grinning and folding his hands behind his head.

�Probably,� said Hermione opening the pouch. She tipped it
and a bracelet fell out.

�Woah,� Ron said and reached for
it.

�Hang on,� said Hermione, wanting to take a look at it.

It looked like it was made of silver or steel. Small wide
links were set with pyramid cut sapphires. She handed it to Ron.

�I think this is one of the coolest things I�ve ever seen,�
Ron said as he undid the clasp. He jokingly tried to put it on. �Do you think
it�s me?�

�Kind of punk-ish, don�t you
think?� Hermione grinned as he handed it back to her.

�Tonks is going to be insanely jealous,� Ron said as he
helped her put it on. �Don�t forget to enchant it before you bathe.�

�I won�t,� Hermione said. �I wonder what made him choose
this one?�

***

�You did what?� Severus said, trying not to yell at the
little elf.

�Tinky knows Master is courting Miss,� said Tinky proudly.
�So Tinky picked out a gift a lady of her background and age would like. She
put it in Masters last letter.�

Severus prayed it wasn�t a pair of socks.

�What was it?� Severus asked slowly.

Tinky pulled out a piece of grimy paper from her �uniform.�
Severus reached out and snatched it from her. He unfolded it and found himself
looking at a page torn from a catalog.

It certainly was modern. Probably not something he would
have picked out, but she was muggle-born. It might be something popular among
them.

�Fine,� said Severus curtly. �But please let me choose them
in the future.�

The little elf�s face began to fall.
