Chapter 18
Chapter 18
After finishing preparing the ingredients for the Polyjuice potion, Severus headed for Hermione’s chambers. Maybe her mood had gotten better, she hadn’t brought Darien back. No sign of his crying and screaming son. Severus said the password and walked in. Hermione was in the middle of the floor with Darien playing with the wizarding action figures. Hermione seemed to be loosing the battle that was raging between them.
Hermione looked up at Severus as he walked closer to them, she wasn’t glaring at him anymore. Darien had lightened her mood considerably, he had such an innocent awe when it came to playing with toys, just playing period, like it was all new to him. Hermione thought it was sad that Harry had told her he never got to play before, so what Darien was doing now was new to him.
Darien lifted the dragon figure up to his father, “Dragon.”
“I see that.” Severus looked at Hermione, her face was a little flushed and the smile on her face was a welcoming sight. “We’ve been invited to attend dinner tonight at the Malfoy Manor.”
The smile didn’t stay long at all. “Why?”
“The Minister of Magic requests my presence with my son and his mother.” Severus told her.
Hermione stood up from the floor, “I never really liked the Malfoys and they never liked me.”
“Give it a try. Either way I have to be there with Darien.”
Hermione looked down at Darien. “They never liked Harry.” She looked back up at Severus. “Why can’t you go alone?”
Severus crossed his arms and rested them on his chest. “What are you so afraid of? He liked going there for lunch.”
Something just struck Hermione, she now remembered what Severus had said after he came back. She had been so angry with him for taking Darien, that Pansy was pushed to the back of her mind. How much did he tell them? He said she brought up the Polyjuice potion. He told them. Hermione’s eyes got wide.
“How much did you tell them?”
“I told them about them about the jealousy spell, and trying to find a way for the reversal spell to work without negative effects. Pansy’s idea was brilliant, I over looked that potion, and I’ve told you this.”
“Just great, just fucking great. Now the whole of the wizarding world will know, Pansy is one of the biggest gossips I have ever seen. Did it ever cross your mind that just maybe I didn’t want anyone to know about this? This is rather personal you know.” She threw her arms up in disgust.
So much for the good mood she was in, Severus thought, my day and now my night is going to be hell. “So I made a mistake, but you do have to admit that it was rather clever of her to suggest that.”
“Praise be the little Slytherin for coming up with something clever.” Hermione turned and walked into the bedroom. Severus followed her.
He watched her going from one side of the room to the other, picking up things and putting them in another place in the room.
“Are you about through with your childish tantrum?”
Hermione spun she had crystal figurine in her hands and it went straight for Severus’s head, “Childish tantrum? Is this what you think this is?”
Severus ducked and the figurine shattered behind his head. Maybe that wasn’t the right thing to ask, Severus thought. Merlin I have been and idiot where this woman is concerned. This is impossible, her emotions are being consty uny under pressure and here I can’t even say anything without making things worse, this has been why I never actively sought out a woman. I’m a complete moron where they are concerned. You’re a total screw up, Severus. His mind was working overtime.
“You’re being hormonal.” He growled at her.
The spell came quickly, and Severus was thrown onto the floor clutching at his stomach. “Welcome to my world.” Hermione strode over to him. “How do you like them stomach cramps? It’s not all fun and games is it.”
Severus pushed up on his hands and knees, she hexed him. Hermione still had her wand pointing at Severus when Darien came running into the room and flung himself between them he was screaming at the top of his lungs. When Darien did this the whole room started whining, and three Professors came out of the fireplace in the bedroom. Minerva, Dante, and Albus all had their wands drawn. Albus had placed a fail-safe measure around Darien, if anyone pointed a wand at the little boy, alarms would sound and Darien would have protectors at his side in an instant.
Dante was by Hermione and took the wand away from her before she could even do anything else. Albus took the hex off of Severus and Minerva picked Darien up who was still screaming and took him in the other room. Severus took the time to catch his breath as Albus started asking what was going on.
Hermione glared at him, her anger coming back to full awareness and pointed at Severus still on the floor. “He told MalfMalfoys what was wrong with me. Did he ask me? NO! He took it upon himself to tell them my personal and private business.”
Albus looked down at Severus who now was standing slowly, even after Albus removed the hex, his stomach muscles were still twitching and tightening some, but not like it had been. “How was I supposed to know she would react like this?”
Albus was rather tickled with the situation, not only had Hermione hexed someone, she hexed Severus. The bets placed also had to do with who got hexed. Albus just won the money on the who part, along with Minerva.
“Severus, Hermione doesn’t know the Malfoys like you do.” Albus said.
“She could at least trust my judgment. Lucius is Minister of Magic for Merlin’s sake.”
“I don’t care who he is.” Hermione shouted at him. “You need to respect my privacy.”
Severus turned to her, “Lesson learned Professor Granger.”
“Good. Now can I get out of this dinner or not?”
Albus spoke before Severus could, he had an ulterior motive, he wanted at least a couple of hours of peace and quiet and it would be nice to eat dinner again in some harmony. “Hermione dear, the invitation was extended to you as well. The Minister of Magic himself extended this invitation. I think it would be better if you didn’t reject the offer, you might just learn something there tonight. You are never to old to not learn.”
Hermione saw his eyes twinkle; she couldn’t believe he wanted her to do this. “Fine, but I’m doing this under protest.”
“We’ll leave you to get ready for dinner then.” Albus left with Dante.
Severus didn’t say a word, just grabbed some clothes for Darien and took his son to his chambers with him. Hermione could stew in her own juices right now, even if he was the cause of the anger.
