The Family Ties that Bind
Chapter 10- Weekend Getaway
Severus and Hermione appeared outside a beautiful little cottage. It was two stories, white with emerald green trim. There was a small herb garden off to the left, a tree orchard to the right. Severus watched her expression as she took in the serenity of the cottage.
“Dad, it’s beautiful.” Hermione said.
“Your mother thought so. She had inherited it when your grandmother and grandfather Devaroux passed away. This was where we were living after we got married. I would apparate here every weekend and the holidays that first year I started teaching.” Severus said.
Severus led her inside. The cottage was well cared for. It had a very welcoming and homey feel to it. Hermione fell in love with it immediately. Severus led her upstairs and showed her the room she would be staying in. The room was beautiful. The walls were covered in paintings of landscapes of mountains, pastures, and forests. The bed was a Queen size with a canopy and lilac colored hangings. There was a vanity against the right wall and a book shelf full of book against the left wall.
“Do you like your room?” Severus asked.
“I love it.” Hermione answered.
“Your mother decorated it. It was her room when she would come and visit your great grand parents.” Severus said.
“Where is your room?” Hermione asked.
“It’s the second door on the left. Just down the hall. I’ll let you get settled. If you need me just call.” Severus said.
Hermione sat her bag on the bed and magically unpacked her things. She then walked over to the large bay window and stared over the grounds. The cottage really was beautiful. Her thoughts drifted back to Draco. She sighed and left the room to look around. She found the library and made her way inside. There was a fire going, giving the room a warm lived in feel. She grabbed a book and sat before the fire. That was how Severus found her half an hour later.
“You all right?” Severus asked.
“I’m doing okay. Just worried about Draco and I’m even worried about Lucius. I mean with what he said on my birthday and all.” Hermione answered as she marked her place and put the book aside.
“I know. Come on, dinner’s ready.” Severus said.
Hermione followed her father into the kitchen. There was her favorite dish. Roasted chicken, boiled potatoes, sweet peas and steamed carrots. A fresh salad was there along with fresh, hot dinner rolls. Severus poured them both a glass of iced tea to go with the meal.
“How did you do all of this in thirty minutes?” she asked.
“Dobby and Winky came here as well. I sent word ahead of time so dinner would be ready when we arrived.” Severus answered.
The father and daughter talked. They discussed the latest potions research, how her classes were going, the chances of the Quidditch teams and her mother. For dessert there was a chocolate cake.
“Dad, how did you and mum meet?” Hermione asked as they sat in the library.
“I was 15 when I met your mother. We met in Naples. Both our families were vacationing there. She was a fourth year at Hogwarts. I never noticed her. I was in Slytherin, she was in Ravenclaw. We never had a reason to be together. She was leaving a book store and I was going in. We literally ran into one another. She knew who I was from school. That summer started it all. When I graduated she was there. I proposed and she said yes. We were married about two years later. I was 19, she was 19. I turned 20 a month after we got married. The rest you know.” Severus answered.
“So was it love at first sight or did things grow on their own?” Hermione asked.
“We started as friends that summer and things progressed from there.” Severus answered.
“Look, I think you should get some rest. Tomorrow we can head into Dublin if you want.” Severus added.
“All right. Good night dad.” Hermione said as he hugged and kissed her father.
“Good night Hermione.” Severus said as he watched her head upstairs.
Hermione went to her bedroom and got ready for bed. She got in bed and spent an hour tossing and turning before finally falling asleep. Severus was still in the library when a shrill scream ripped through the house. He threw his book down and ran upstairs. He burst into Hermione’s room. There at the foot of her bed was Lucius Malfoy!
“Time to die like you mother.” Lucius hissed as he pointed his wand at Hermione.
“EXPELLIARMUS!” Severus yelled.
Lucius’s wand flew through the air and right into Severus’s hand. Both wizard’s stared daggers at each other. Severus pointed his own wand at Lucius. Neither moved.
“You can’t save her. She will die. And then you will have her blood on your hands, just like the blood of your whore of a wife.” Lucius said.
“I should kill you where you stand, but I have a better idea. Pertrificus Totalus.” Severus hissed.
Lucius fell to the floor. Severus rushed to Hermione and took her into his arms. Hermione began sobbing as she clutched her fathers shirt.
“Sshh. It’s okay now. Dobby!” Severus said.
“Yes Master Snape?” Dobby asked.
“Dobby, floo Dumbledore and tell him to get a few aurors and get here immediately.” Severus ordered.
“Yes sir.” Dobby said and disappeared.
“Did he hurt you?” Severus asked.
“No.” Hermione sobbed.
Ten minutes later Albus, Tonks and Kingsley showed up.
“What happened my dear?” Albus asked.
“I…I heard…something at the window. I sat up…and there…there… he was. He said… he was…going to…kill me…just like…he killed…my mother. Then dad…came in. He… he disarmed him and then…put him…in a full body bind.” Hermione answered.
“There’s no escape for you this time Malfoy. You are arrested for the murder of Jocelyn Devaroux Snape and the attempted murder of Hermione Snape.” Kingsley said as he and Tonks stood over the unmoving Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius’s eyes narrowed in anger. Kingsley and Tonks apparated away with Lucius in tow. Albus sat on the bed beside Severus and Hermione.
“Do you want to return to Hogwarts?” Severus asked.
“Yes. Please dad.” Hermione answered.
“Then we will. Get dressed and meet me downstairs.” Severus said.
Hermione nodded. Severus and Albus headed downstairs to wait on Hermione.
“God Damnit Albus! How did Lucius find us here!” Severus demanded.
“I don’t know Severus. We won’t know until we question him. This time he won’t be able to get away. He will get the Dementor’s Kiss for sure.” Albus answered.
“I’m ready.” Hermione said as she came down the stairs.
“Let’s get out of here. If Lucius found us, who knows who else Voldemort will send.” Severus said.
The three apparated away. Severus took Hermione down to the dungeons. She would stay in his guest room for the night. He was not taking any chances. He came very close to losing her tonight. Hermione fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow.
“Oh Jocelyn. I swear to you, no one is going to hurt our daughter. I wasn’t able to protect you but I will protect our daughter.” Severus whispered as he laid in his bed.
Slowly Severus too drifted off to sleep. Praying to whoever was listening that his daughter would always be safe and that Draco would wake up and soon.
