Chapter 6
Hermione was preparing herself to finally return to the wizarding world and as she took a look around her room; she was ready to finally leave the comfort of the Malfoy manor. She has reluctantly agreed to arrive at hogwarts one week before the school term began to settle in her new rooms and to organise her classes. She had barely spoken to Snape after what had occurred at his house and she knew it would be hard to maintain that silence now that he was her new boss.
“I never thought I would actually go back” Hermione said softly to the Malfoy family
She had shrunk all her belongings and stuffed them in her pants pockets
“You had to go back sometime, all we care about is your happiness” Narcissa said
“You’re always welcome here Hermione, if you need anything” Lucius said
“I’ll miss you shorty” Draco said
She gave him a watery smile and hugged all of them before using the floo powder and heading to Hogwarts.
Hermione landed in the headmaster’s office. It looked the same as when she was a student; only difference was that professor Dumbledore wasn’t behind the desk but hanging from a portrait in which he was currently taking a nap.
“Headmaster Snape” Hermione greeted him, nervously fixing her clothes
“Miss Granger’ Snape said, smirking at her obvious discomfort
‘It’s Hermione; you’ve called me that once before and seeing as we’re going to be colleagues, maybe we should abandon formalities” Hermione said hopeful that he would agree
“Fine then Hermione, you may call me Severus” he said
She gave him a small smile, hoping he didn’t notice how really nervous she was.
“Let me show you to your new rooms Hermione” Severus said
And she followed him down to the dungeons where the potions labs were.
Hermione couldn’t help but absorb everything that was around her; she really did miss Hogwarts. Her rooms in the dungeons weren’t as big as the one she had at the Malfoy manor but it was enough for her to fit all her belongings.
“Thank you for showing me my rooms Severus and for stocking up the labs for me” Hermione said after her brief tour was finished
“You are welcome Hermione. The rest of the staff are anxious to see you again so we’re expecting you to appear at dinner tonight in the Great Hall” Severus said before turning sharply and leaving
Hermione let out a deep breath that she was holding before removing her shrunken trunks from her pockets and began organising everything. When it was close to dinner time, she quickly washed up before walking towards the hall. She took small calming breaths before entering the hall the first time in five years.
“Hermione! I didn’t believe it when Severus said you were coming back…but you’re here” Professor McGonagall gushed, rushing to hug her still favourite student
“It’s great to see you again professor” Hermione said hugging the elderly woman back
She greeted the rest of the staff except Professor Trelawney who was giving her an evil look.
She took a seat next to Severus and enjoyed giving her first dinner at Hogwarts again.
After dinner was over and Hermione reassured professor McGonagall that she would visit with her soon, she made her way back down to her new home for her first night’s sleep.
*******
Hermione hadn’t slept so peacefully in a long time that she woke up late the next morning and missed breakfast with the staff. Thankful that Severus had equipped her with a small kitchen, Hermione se about making a light breakfast of eggs and bacon before requesting some croissants from the kitchens. She had just about settled at her table to eat when her portrait, Violet interrupted her.
“Miss, there are two very sexy Slytherins here to see you” Violet said giggling
‘What do they look like” Hermione asked
‘One is blonde and the other is that sexy headmaster of ours” she said flipping her hair
Hermione laughed at Violet’s infatuation with Severus and allowed her to let them in.
“Draco? What are you doing here?” she asked rushing to hug him
“I’ve accepted to be Hogwarts new flying instructor” he said grinning
“Oh great! Now I have to see you all the time…again!” Hermione said jokingly
“Is that food?” Draco asked rushing towards the table and ignoring Hermione and Severus
“You both can join me, I overslept” she said looking at Severus for the first time
‘I’ve already had breakfast, I just wanted to bring Draco to you” Severus said before leaving
“Looks like not much has changed between you two; he’s still snarky” Draco said stuffing a piece of croissant in his mouth “I saw her in his office you know”
“Saw who? The woman from the club?” Hermione asked him, surprised
“Yes, I think she’s his secretary” he said
“Oh” Hermione said softly
“Maybe you should be more direct with uncle Sev; you’re beautiful and you’re his intellectual equal! I’m sure it won’t take long to seduce him” Draco said smirking
“Keep your filthy little Slytherin mind out of this, I can handle everything on my own” she said
‘Alright doll, I’ll behave…for now” he said
When they were finished, Draco left to settle into his new rooms while Hermione began working on lesson plans. She couldn’t help but be curious about the mysterious woman that seemed to be lurking around Severus’s life.
“You’re awfully popular today; you have another visitor. It’s a woman this time” her portrait said
“let her in” Hermione said assuming it was professor McGonagall
She was shocked however, to see the blonde hair woman from the club and Severus’ home.
“Hermione Granger! I’m sorry Severus has been rude and hasn’t introduced us yet but I’ve been dying to meet you” she said shaking Hermione’s hand enthusiastically
“I’m sorry, who are you?” Hermione asked, hoping not to come across as rude
‘I’m Narcissa Malfoy’s cousin, Aubrey Black” she said
“You are? Then why didn’t Draco recognise you?” Hermione asked
“I had only met Draco once when he was really young and some things have changed” Aubrey said
“So you’re Severus’ secretary?” Hermione asked
“Yep, he’s amazing isn’t he? We’ve known each other for quite sometimes and I’m happy he gave me the job, I really needed it” Aubrey said smiling “Anyway, I should go before Severus discovers more work for me to do! Bye Hermione”
*******
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen her; she looks different” Draco told Hermione that night at dinner
“I’m sure she does” Hermione said grumpily shoving around the mashed potatoes on her plate
‘She’s really amazing, you’re just upset that she’s close to Severus” he said
His comment was enough to send an already annoyed Hermione over the edge. She pushed her chair back loudly and stalked out the hall and onto the grounds. Hermione thought that Draco would’ve understood how much she admired Severus and that Aubrey was closer to him than she could ever get. She quickly said the password to her rooms and curled up on her bed, falling into a restless sleep.
A/N: Aubrey Black is my original character...obviously! lol! reviews are motivation so the more the better! thank you!
