My Life

Chapter 16





Hermione went back into her rooms and told Harry what Severus had told her. They talked for a little while and Harry left to go to bed.



“Come on Ruthie, let’s get a bath and ready for bed.”



“Kay Mummy.”



They got a bath and ready for bed. Hermione put Ruthie in her bed and sat on the chair beside it.



“Sverus daddy, Mummy?”



“No sweetheart. He’s not your daddy.”



“Please?”



“Well talk to him later about that okay?”



“Kay” Ruthie said happily. Hermione sat there until Ruthie went to sleep and Hermione went to her room. She lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. She tossed and turned. She finally went out and put in a movie and fell asleep watching TV. The next morning she woke up and woke Ruthie. They got dressed and went to see if Severus was going to go to breakfast.



“Severus…” Hermione called out.



“Sverus eat.” Ruthie said. She went running into his rooms and jumped on his bed.

“Up…Up…Up.” Ruthie said still jumping.



“Gotcha.” He yelled grabbing her and pulling her into the covers with him.



“Mummy help.” Ruthie giggled.



“Mummy’s not getting in there to help you.”



“Please.” Severus said.



“Nope, it’s time for breakfast.”



“Mummy is no fun.” Severus said to Ruthie.



“Nope.” She replied.



“Come on Ruthie, let’s go up and eat. Severus might want to miss breakfast but we don’t.” Hermione said laughing.



“Bye Sverus.”



“Just wait a minute. Go into the sitting room and I’ll be right out.” He said standing up.



“Sverus nakee.” Ruthie giggled.



Hermione looked up and blushed. Severus was standing there in a pair of skin toned boxer briefs. She noticed how toned his body was. She wondered if that was why he wore so many layers.



“If you are finished staring, I would like to get dressed.” He said smirking.



Hermione and Ruthie left the bedroom, and Severus came out a couple of minutes later. They walked up to the Great Hall and sat down for breakfast.



“Sverus daddy?” Ruthie asked after everyone was finished eating.



“Ruthie not now.” Hermione whispered.



Everyone was looking at the little girl and Severus, trying to figure out what she meant.



“Is there something you’re not telling us Severus?” Hooch asked.



“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He replied.



“I think this conversation is for another time.” Albus said getting up to leave. “Hermione if you could come with me to my office we have some things to discuss.”



“Certainly Albus.”



“Severus please take Ruthie with you.” Albus told him.



“Of course.” He said to Albus, and then turned to Ruthie, “Why don’t we go outside and find something to do.”



“Kay.” She replied happily.



“Be good and don’t run off.” Hermione told Ruthie as she left. She followed Albus out of the Great Hall and into his office. They got up to his office and they sat down.



“I bet your wondering why I asked you up here.” He asked.



“Sort of.”



“I wanted to know what you decided to do about Mr. Weasley. We’ve kept it quiet for as long as we could, and now it comes down to what you want.”



“I don’t want to press any charges, but I don’t want him around Ruthie and me. I don’t think he meant to do what he did, he was just surprised at everything.”



“Thank you Hermione. I shall send Molly an owl soon. He will have his Prefect Badge taken away and will be told to stay away from the two of you.”



“Thank you Albus.”



“Now, what all did Severus tell you about last night?”



“He told me that Voldemort told his followers about me and Ruthie.”



“Is that all he told you?”



“All that matters, why?”



“Voldemort asked him to get you with child again.”



“He told him to have sex with me?”



“He thinks that the two of you will create a powerful child, not as powerful as Ruthie, but still powerful.”



“Why didn’t he tell me?”



“I’m sure he didn’t want to frighten you.”



“I think that it’s something that he and I will have to talk about.”



“I’ll leave you to it then.”



“I’ll see you at dinner Albus.” Hermione said leaving. She walked through the halls wondering why Severus didn’t tell her. She went outside and found Severus and Ruthie playing.



“Are you two having fun?” She asked.



“Loads.” Severus answered sarcastically.



“I think that it’s time for someone’s nap and for the two of us to have a talk.”



“He told you didn’t he?”



“Why didn’t you tell me? This is something I think should have been discussed with me, before Albus.”



“I know that.”



“You must not have known enough or you would’ve talked to me about it.” By now they had made it to Hermione’s rooms. “Come on Ruthie, its nap time.” She took the little girl by the hand and took her to her room. “Go to sleep sweetie. Mummy will be out in the sitting room.” Ruthie could barley keep her eyes open and fell asleep as soon as Hermione was done talking. Hermione walked into the sitting room and found Severus pacing.



“I didn’t want to upset you last night.” He said.



“Why didn’t you tell me this morning then? And when did you have time to tell him?”



“Albus came to my rooms shortly after you left. I didn’t want to tell you in front of anyone.”



“Why. Why does it matter?”



“Because what we have is real. I don’t want you to think that I’m doing this on his orders.”



“I wouldn’t have thought that.”



“You don’t know. What if I would’ve come back here last night and told you then? Would you still have wanted me to stay?”



“Of course.”



“I’m not a nice person Hermione.”



“You’re nice to me, and you’re nice to Ruthie.” She said getting closer to him.



“She’s different. She’s an innocent.”



“And what about me Severus? Why are you nice to me?” She said whispering in his ear.



“Women if you don’t step back I’m not going to be so nice.”



“I don’t want you to be nice.” She said and then she kissed him.
