Just before dinner on the second night since their arrival home, Hermione noticed that her grandmother was watching Remus with great interest. The poor werewolf had to have noticed because he kept his eyes downcast a lot and would knock things over constantly. Larissa, her grandmother, seemed to find his clumsiness amusing and sometimes Hermione wondered if she stared at him so intently just to make him nervous enough to start knocking stuff over.

“Hermione dear” Larissa greeted from the doorway of her bedroom “I think I do like Remus Lupin. He is amusing if nothing else, however he has good table manners, polite, soft spoken and yet there is something…manly about him” Hermione snorted.

“Yes” Hermione was fighting hard to keep the smile from her face.

“Ladies do not snort!” She looked scandalized by the action “Hermione Potter…what am I to do with you?”

“I’m sorry grandmother” Hermione looked at the floor with an expression she hoped was apologetic.

“Have you ended the relationship with young Mr. Black?” Larissa asked.

“Well…I wanted to do it face to…” Hermione was caught off guard as a tall, thin, pale and black-haired teenage boy came flying in to the room, fell to his knees and slammed his face in to her soft stomach “SEVERUS?!”

“What is the meaning of this?” The elderly woman asked shock written all over her face “Is this…no this surely is not…I thought his name was Sirius”

“Grandmother” Hermione looked helpless as the Slytherin tightened his grip on her body “This is my friend, Severus”

“I’M NOT GAY!” Severus said loudly “I’M NOT!”

“That is a good thing, boy” Larissa told him confused by his outburst.

“Severus” Hermione said carefully “What happened?”

“I found this!” He handed a piece of parchment out to her and she took it reading the words and then it all made sense.

Dearest Severus,

I always assumed that my feelings for you were only filled with hatred. But then Hermione came in to my life and I started to realize that maybe I have been giving you such a hard time because I am mad at myself. I am mad at myself because no matter what I do or who I’m with I can’t get you out of my head. I think about you all the time, I dream about you at night and thoughts of you are starting to cause my school work to become lax. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I told you how I felt than you can tell me to sod off and maybe my mind would shut up long enough to get a good night’s sleep and to get my work done. I can say in all honesty that I am sorry for the position this puts you in and hope that whatever kind friendship or understanding we’ve established these last few months can remain.

Sorry,

Sirius Black

Hermione frowned and looked down at the boy who had finally let go of her and was sitting in a dejected sort of way on the floor watching her. She didn’t know what to say to him, this was not what she told him to do…he had written it completely to Severus…though she had to admit that she was happy to see that he was finally growing a set and telling the boy how he felt about him.

“Where’d you find this?” She asked.

“We were studying in the library” He answered “Well, I was studying he apparently was writing that to me. What do I do?”

“Go with your feelings” Hermione told him “And go back to the school. Take time to think about your feelings and don’t talk to him until you’re ready to be honest about not only reading the letter but stealing it as well”

~~~Later~~~

Hermione decided not to tell James about Severus being there, she wasn’t sure if he could handle that. She was sure that when they started the new term there would be a lot of new things to accept and understand. She knew that she was ready and willing to accept everything that was to come but her brother…she wasn’t so sure.

“Cassandra” Larissa said as they all sat around the dinner table while house-elves brought them their exquisite meal “I have found the perfect match for Hermione”

“You have?” Cassandra looked surprised and looked at her daughter noting the shocked expression.

‘Not now!’ Hermione thought ‘Why now…he’s right here…oh god’

“Yes” She smiled “I think that she and young Mr. Lupin here should be betrothed” Two things happened at that announcement, Remus inhaled half the milk he had been drinking and James blew all the milk he had in his mouth out his nose all over the table.

“Mother” Cassandra’s smile was extremely forced “I don’t think that is a good idea…”

“I know that he’s a half-blood” Larissa answered “But no matter half is better than nothing. I know he is an orphan. I am so sorry my dear boy” She added smiling fondly at the choking werewolf.

“Well” Cassandra looked at her husband “Charles…help here”

“You see, Larissa” He tried and then looked at Remus and was at the same loss his wife was at.

“HE’S A BLOODY WEREWOLF!” James said “It’s not a bad thing but…but…” He looked apologetically at Remus who had stopped choking and was now looking James with a mixture of horror, fear and hurt at the way his friend…his best friend had spoken about him.

“Oh” Larissa tilted her head to the side and surveyed Remus with a spark of fear and something else in her eyes.

“I…” Remus looked around the table, Cassandra had pursed her lips and like her husband was avoiding his eyes. Hermione however met his gaze steadily with her own unblinking gaze “I...” He stood and fled the dining room.

“You prat!” Hermione glared at James “You stupid…cruel…you stupid…jackass!”

“HERMIONE!” Her mother and grandmother gasped in shock at her unladylike behavior “If you keep talking like that you will not be shopping tomorrow!”

“You are all so…prejudice!” Hermione hissed before she too stood and walked away.

She walked for nearly twenty minutes before she heard soft sobs coming from an unused bedroom two doors away from her own bedroom. She pushed the door opened a peered in at the young man who was sitting in the corner of the room near the window looking out over the same gardens that she could see from her window. He wasn’t looking out the window though, his knees were held pressed against his chest and he was face down in his knees obviously crying as quietly as he could. Hermione walked over to him and sat down behind him, she knew he could hear her but he made no motion to move and he even allowed her to wrap her arms around his waist and lay her head on his back.

“Are you okay?” She whispered an hour later when his quiet sobbing had stopped altogether and he was sitting there in her arms.

“Y-yes” He muttered, he hated himself for showing such disgustingly feminine emotions and was thanking god that Sirius wasn’t here to see them “I’m sorry, Hermione…what must you think of me?” He laughed bitterly “Great werewolf I make…crying like a bloody girl!”

“Remus!” Hermione turned him so he was looking at her “Don’t do this to yourself. You never got to mourn your parents and James just acted like complete arse”

“But…” He started.

“No” Hermione shook her head pulling his closer to hers and putting their foreheads together “There is no ‘but’. You are mourning and it is okay to cry, it’s okay to miss them and wish they were here it doesn’t mean that you are being rude or ungrateful…it means your being human”

“What your grandmother said…” He muttered.

“It doesn’t matter” Hermione said.

“I wish we could…marry” He shook his head “But I would never be able to take care of you the way you are used to or the way you deserve”

“None of that matters to me” Hermione told him “All I ever wanted was to be happy and in love with the man of my choosing. No one else’s”

“I know” He whispered “What did we just accomplish here?”

“You had a good cry that I will never tell the guys about” Hermione told him and he smiled “And we decided that I would rather be poor and happy than rich and lonely”

“Which means?” He asked.

“Which means you should probably grow some balls and ask me out before I decide that you’re not worth the wait” Hermione answered “Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to take a hot bath and then get some sleep before the shopping trip tomorrow. Good night, Remus”

“Good night, Hermione” He whispered before she walked out the door ‘Did she just tell me to ask her out…really?!’ He thought.

~~~Shopping in Diagon Alley~~~

Hermione was wearing a pair of tight dark blue jeans with an ivory knit sweater that hugged her upper body well. She decided to leave her hair down in the normal curls because she noticed that Remus seemed to like it better that way and she put natural and neutral earth toned make-up on with a spray of jasmine perfume. When she came down the stairs to join James and Remus near the fireplace with her parents and grandmother she noticed that James was on one side of the room with their parents and Remus was standing with Larissa on the other side. Larissa pulled her in to a hug and then practically threw her to Remus when she walked to the floo network.

“Let us leave now” She said to her daughter, she looked over and smiled at Remus and Hermione “I know that I have some shopping I need to do. We’ll be safe together, I’m sure”

“Sirius is meeting us at Flourish and Blotts” James said quietly “I think he said that he is bringing Snivellous”

“Mum” Hermione said right away, he did break a rule “Did you know that James likes to wear your lipstick when you’re not home”

“Hermione” She said warningly.

“Sorry Hermione” James muttered red-faced “I mean to say that he is bringing Snape”

“Let’s go then” Charles said.

Hermione saw the two boys waiting for them immediately and she waved her parents and grandmother off as she ran over to them and hugged Sirius before pulling a surprised Severus in to a hug. He felt completely foolish for running to her and practically sobbing on her like a bloody girl but it had worked out for him in the end…he thought it did at least. He still wasn’t sure where they stood relationship wise but they were able to talk a little bit better now.

“Hey you guys” Sirius smiled before he read the charge that was between James and Remus and when both walk past him with half-hearted smiles he looked at Hermione and she told him the whole story.

“I’ll talk to James” Sirius promised and then looked over at Severus who was contemplating a book that was pretty pricy but something he really wanted “I’ll get it” Sirius plucked the book from his hand.

“NO!” Severus’s face turned red “No, I…I can get it…I don’t even r-really want it!”

“You’ve been drooling over it for half an hour” Sirius smirked “I’ll get it”

“It’s not that expensive…I can get it” Severus lied still trying to grab the book from the Gryffindors grip.

“Oh” Sirius looked at him “It’s not that expensive, really…then you won’t mind me paying for it”

“Sirius” Snape said in defeat “Please…don’t”

“Why not?” Sirius asked trying to ignore the excitement that went through him upon hearing his name spoken by the usually quiet Slytherin.

“Because I…I have nothing to give you” Severus looked at the floor suddenly finding it extremely interesting.

“Go on a date with me” Sirius said suddenly “An actual date, just me and you…no one else”

“But…” Severus said.

“Either way” Sirius smirked marching up to the counter “I’m paying for this”

“Okay” Severus said “I’ll go on a date”

“Thank you” He smiled “By the way I haven’t even got you your Christmas gift yet”

Hermione shook her head as she watched them start fighting over the present issue. If they actually achieved a relationship she knew that it would thrive on fighting, complaining and probably lots and lots of make-up sex. She turned to look for Remus when she was hit in the stomach with a red haired child that was running away from his mother, she looked down and was looking in to familiar brown eyes.

“Percy Weasley” Huffed a short woman with red hair, a round kind face and an enormous pregnant belly “No running in stores, what have I told you. Are you alright, miss?”

“Yes” Hermione breathed “I’m fine, are you?”

“Of course” She smiled “Three boys already these two are not my first” She patted her stomach where Fred and George were hidden most likely plotting their escape “And you?”

“Me what?” Hermione asked.

“Well” Molly smiled “You’ve got to be nearly eighteen. Have you a husband yet any children?”

“I’m only sixteen” Hermione said “Still at Hogwarts”

“Oh, I do miss Hogwarts” Molly grinned and then frowned over her shoulder “Something is happening…outside!”

Hermione followed her out the door and looked around and sure enough there was a group of people…death eaters standing in a circle around someone on the ground. They were cursing him…it was…

“JAMES!” Hermione ran forward and pulled her wand she pointed in at the witch that had been holding her brother under the Cruciatus curse “Let him go!”

“Ohh” Said the high-pitched voice of Bellatrix LeStrange “Is da wittle Potter girl gonna save her big brother?”

“I said let him go NOW!” Hermione said calmly.

“CRUCIO!” Bellatrix screamed.

“PROTEGO!” Hermione shielded.

“IMPERIO” Bella tried again.

“PROTEGO!” Hermione deflected and then when Bella was avoiding that spell she went for the kill “IMPEDIMENTA! RECTASEMPRA…EXPELLARAMUS!” With the last spell the woman was lifted from the ground and slammed in to the building behind her and knocked out cold. Hermione was gathering her strength to fight anyone else when someone attacked without her seeing it she heard the beginning words of the killing curse but then heard:

“YOU WON’T KILL MY GRANDDAUGHTER!” Then there was flash after flash of lights followed by angered screams and then the pops of apparition and the death eaters were gone. Hermione missed the whole fight, but Remus, Sirius and Severus had seen it and they were shocked in to place by the woman that had just fought three death eaters alone and sent them running. They were also in amazement by Hermione, she had been so focused, so fierce and so beautiful when she was fighting and she had won against Bellatrix LeStrange when so many others had been killed.

“Hermione” Cassandra ran over and hugged her “That’s my girl. Will you be okay with your grandmother and Remus while we bring James to St. Mungos?”

“Yes, I’ll be fine” Hermione promised. She walked over to Remus and was surprised when he pulled her in to a hug.

“Don’t do that!” He whispered in her ear sounding terrified “I didn’t know what to do…don’t ever do that again, you’re all I have left”

“I’m sorry” She whispered. When he let her go she walked over to her grandmother “A duel?”

“Well” She fixed her hair and put her head up “When I was young I was quite good at dueling”

“You still are” Severus said as he walked by “Amazing!”

“MISS!” Hermione heard from behind her “MISS!” She turned and saw Molly Weasley and three little kids running to catch up with her.

“Mrs. Weasley” Hermione greeted and then bit her lip but it didn’t matter the other woman didn’t notice.

“Miss…” She led.

“Hermione Potter” She answered.

“Miss Potter” Molly said “Thank you so much for getting rid of those horrible people”

“It was nothing” Hermione blushed “And please call me Hermione”

“Then I insist you call me Molly” She grinned “None of this Mrs. Weasley stuff. It makes me feel old”

“You will never be old” Hermione told her.

“You are too kind” Molly said “I have to go, the boys are hungry. Do come by the Burrow sometime, that’s where I and my family live. I would love to have you and your gentlemen friend over for dinner”

“Thank you” Hermione blushed “I will owl you”

“How is it?” Larissa asked next to Hermiones ear while she watched her new friend walk away “That she can get away with making comments about Remus being you’re man and I get attitude?”

“Grandmother” Hermione whined and started walking away from the older woman.

“What?” She walked up and bumped her shoulder “I may be prim and proper now, but let me just say” She leaned in close and whispered “I speak from personal experience when I say that werewolves make amazing lovers”

“GRANDMOTHER!” Hermione shrieked in embarrassment making the older woman laugh at her reaction.

All of Diagon Alley looked at the tiny little pureblooded witch known as Hermione Potter with respect. She had fought a death eater, a crazy and blood thirsty death eater and she had won that battle and that was something to respect in someone. Another person was watching her too with respect and dare he even think it…fear, this girl was like no other, her magic was well used and strong, she had a leaders heart and an anger for something that Voldemort had never seen before. What had made this little girl so angry that she was able to fight one his best death eaters he didn’t know but oh how he wanted to.

‘Maybe it’s time to extend an invitation to her’ He thought ‘A private dinner just her and I…she looks to be the suspicious type so no magic. I want to know her story, she could make a very good Queen’ With that last thought he apperated away and back to his manor to talk to Bella.

A/N: Here you go. Okay I lied I said that we would have Christmas in this chapter but I didn’t put it in there, I started writing this chapter about four and a half hours ago after third shift so I am very tired. I, however, wanted to put in some death eaters and Voldemort and there is more to grandmother then meets the eyes. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
