Chapter 9
A week later, shit hit the fan. At dinner, the school governors entered the Great Hall and marched right up to the staff table, with Lucius in the lead.
“Albus, we need to speak with you and Minerva. Immediately,” Lucius said.
“Of course. Let us adjourn to my office,” Albus nodded as he and Minerva stood up.
As Albus and Minerva led the twelve governors away, Severus and Hermione’s eyes locked. They knew that things had begun. Harry and Susan too shared a similar worried look.

“It has come to our attention that Severus Snape has become involved with your Head Girl, Hermione Granger. We received a letter from a Miss Pansy Parkinson. She saw Professor Snape and Miss Granger kissing at her door. It appears Professor Snape was exiting Miss Granger’s rooms late in the evening,” Governor Phillips explained.
“How did Miss Parkinson even see this?” Albus asked.
“She was coming from the infirmary with Mr. Draco Malfoy,” Governor Masters answered.
“Have you confirmed their story about being in the infirmary?” Minerva demanded.
“Yes Minerva. Madame Pomfrey had confirmed both Draco and Pansy were in the infirmary for upset stomachs from some sweets they had gotten off of Crabbe and Goyle,” Lucius replied.
“Well, what does this have to do with the Board of Governors? There are no laws against as student and teacher being romantically involved, so long as the student is of age,” Albus inquired.
“Severus Snape is a confirmed Death Eater. Yes he did turn spy during the war, but this is a cause for concern,” Phillips stated.
“What? This is ridiculous,” Minerva huffed.
“We’re sorry for this Minerva, but Minister Fudge wants us to investigate this,” Lucius said sadly.
************************************************************************
Hermione paced her sitting room. When she saw the governors, her heart dropped. She turned when she saw her door swing open. In walked Harry and Susan. Before Hermione could speak, they began explaining about their dreams. Once done, Hermione spoke.
“So, you two are Godric and Helga. That means you know about Rowena and Salazar, as well as Severus and I?”
“Yes, but unlike our past selves, we see no reason why you and Professor Snape shouldn’t be together,” Susan answered.
“Thanks for your support, but I don’t think the governors will feel that way,” Hermione sighed.
“No matter what the governors say, I’ll, or rather we will help. Even if it means sneaking you and Professor Snape out of Hogwarts,” Harry said while Susan nodded.
************************************************************************
The next morning things got worse. Rita Skeeter caught wind of why the governors were at Hogwarts and ran with the story. By the end of Breakfast, students and teachers alike knew about Hermione and Severus. This caused the house rivalries to grow even more.
“How could you? He’s a Slytherin and a Death Eater,” Ron hissed.
“Don’t start Ron,” Hermione pleaded.
“I can’t believe you. Fraternizing with Slytherins. I bet that’s how you got your grades isn’t it?” Ron said.
“That’s enough Ron,” Harry stated as he saw the tears form in Hermione’s eyes.
“You’re defending her!” Ron exclaimed.
“You’re damned right I am!” Harry yelled.
Hermione jumped to her feet and hurried from the Great Hall. As she walked out of the hall, she could hear the whispers. Many people saying the same thing Ron had about her grades. Some saying that wasn’t possible. The rest unsure of what to believe. On auto pilot, she headed for the Chamber of Secrets.
Severus watched Hermione hurry from the hall. Like her, he too was getting flack from the other Professors. Like the students, the professors were divided on the issue.
“She’s your student Severus. How could you?” Professor Sinstra asked.
“They broke no rules Aurora. Lay off,” Poppy said.
“Poppy’s right. Leave them alone,” Hagrid added.
“If you busy bodies will excuse me. I have a class to teach in twenty minutes,” Severus replied calmly as he got to his feet.
As Severus headed for his classroom, his thoughts swirled around Hermione. He hoped she would be able to persavere. He sighed as he walked into his classroom. He would be teaching Hermione’s class after lunch and the governors would be present to observe the class.
************************************************************************
Hermione had a free period right after breakfast, so she stayed in her and Severus’ chamber. She spent the first fifteen minutes crying about the things Ron and the other students were saying about her.
“Okay, I can’t let them get to me. Severus and I didn’t break any rule. I bet Fudge is just looking for a scapegoat. Well, they’re not going to get Severus or me,” she said determinedly.
She got to her feet and headed for the bathroom to wash her face. Ten minutes later she entered her suite and gathered her bookbag. She would enter her classes with her head held high and fight to keep Severus.
Throughout the day, the students, professors, and governors watched Hermione and Severus. Then came the moment of truth: Potions Class. The governors sat in the back of the classroom and began observing.
“Today we will be brewing the Draught of Peace potion. This potion will take two classes to complete. You need to pay close attention to your potion or else someone can get seriously hurt if this potion were to explode. You have two hours to get as you can. Begin,” Severus instructed.
The students began at once. They knew better than to not follow Severus’ orders. As 7th years, the potions they brewed were more dangerous if they didn’t follow the instructions to the letter. As Severus walked through the rows examining the student’s progress, the governors watched. They were surprised that Severus didn’t show Hermione any special treatment.
“You would figure he would show her favoritism,” Phillips whispered.
“That’s not his style,” Lucius said.
“What do you mean?” Masters asked.
“Severus Snape is a very private person. He would have kept their relationship away from prying eyes,” Lucius answered.
The remaining governors, except for Phillips and Masters, took Lucius’s words into consideration. After the war, Lucius had done a complete 180. He was now a better governor, but more importantly, a better husband, father, and person.
“We shall know more at the end of the week after we speak to Professor Snape and Miss Granger privately,” Phillips stated.
‘I can’t let them do this. Severus deserves happiness. If he has found it in Miss Granger, than I’ll see to it that they remain happy,’ Lucius thought.
