Chapter 3
The three sat in three plush arm chairs near the empty fireplace. A crystal chandelier was hanging in the center of the room, giving off plenty of light. Through out the room several Tiffany lamps were light, making the room feel warm and welcoming.
Adrienne sat in one of the chairs with Severus and Albus sitting in front of her. Albus was sitting almost in a relaxed pose, while Severus sat straight up with his feet planted firmly on the floor. Adrienne was sitting much like Albus.
Severus saw that there were tear marks going down her face and saw more tears were still in her eyes from seeing that her granddaughter was safe and alive. He called on all those etiquette lessons from his childhood.
‘After all, it wasn’t everyday you found yourself sitting in front of Royalty.’ he thought as he waited for Adrienne to speak.
“This tale begins forty five years ago. At the time, Voldemort was know as Tom Riddle. It was five years later was when I realized he would be a problem.” She saw how Severus flinched at the name, but continued her story. “At the time The Royal Families of the world were still in command of their Wizarding communities. When he became Lord Voldemort, I began making plans. As you know, my husband Nicholas died shortly after Larissa was born.
“The years passed. Mostly in chaos. People were dying and disappearing all over Britain. Wizards, witches, and muggles alike. When Larissa was eighteen she met Richard. He was the youngest son of King Sergio of Italy. By that time I had decided to let the Minister of Magic to take over and for the family to go into hiding. Larissa and Richard married and went to live as muggles. They changed their last name to Granger.
“Despite Voldemort disappearing after trying to kill Harry Potter, I knew he would return one day. When he did in Hermione’s fourth year I knew it was time for the Royal Families to resurface. The other Royal Families looked to me as a guide. Philippe was preparing to become King. I was preparing to step down as Queen. I was getting too old to continue and with Voldemort getting stronger, I knew I would not be able to fight against him.
“Unfortunately he died in an accident in his home. It was then up to Larissa. With her and Richard now dead the responsibility of the throne falls onto Hermione. She is ready, as we spoke often of such situations. I never thought that Voldemort would have the guts to attack a member of any royal family. Let alone mine.” Adrienne explained, as Severus once more cringed at Voldemort‘s name.
“Adrienne, I don’t believe Voldemort knew that Hermione and her parents were part of your family. If he had, I know he would have thought twice about attacking.” Albus told her.
“Albus is right your high…I mean Adrienne. He was trying to send a message to Albus and Potter by attacking his best friend.” Severus added.
“You’re probably right. Now comes the request for you Severus.” Adrienne said.
“I’m at your service.” Severus said.
“Right. I want you to give up spying.” she stated.
Severus began to say something, but she stopped him.
“Now, before you start protesting hear me out. You aren’t the only spy within Voldemort’s ranks. I have several of my own. What I will need from you is to watch over Hermione when she returns to Hogwarts. Once she is announced as Queen I feel Voldemort will attempt to have her assassinated. I want you to protect her for me.” Adrienne said.
“Other spies? How? I mean, surely the Dark Lord would have found them wouldn’t he?” Severus questioned, confusion and disbelief written on his face.
“You give him far too much credit Severus. He is not as smart as most think he is. My spies are well hidden within his ranks. From the lowest Death Eater to those within his Inner Circle.” Adrienne smiled as she saw the Potions Master calm slightly
“You do realize there are Death Eater’s children as well as a few seventh years that have taken the Dark Mark at Hogwarts as well. Miss Granger is in greater danger at the school. Especially once news gets out of who she is.” Severus explained.
“I’m aware of that. That’s why I’m asking you to watch over her. I’m sure her friends, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, will help watch over her when you can not be near her.” she replied calmly, with a slight smile.
“I will do everything in my power to protect her.” Severus swore. Despite the fact that that there were still too many possibilities that could lead to Hermione being injured or killed.
“Hermione was right about you.” Adrienne smiled.
“What do you mean?” Severus asked in confusion.
“She told me that even though you try to deny it, you truly are a brave and noble wizard. Do not go saying you’re not. I know of the mistakes you’ve made as a young man. However, everyone makes mistakes. You have changed from that young boy you were, into the man you are now. You have saved many by spying for the Order.” Adrienne answered; Severus didn’t know what to say.
“Now, it’s late and I’m sure Minerva is wondering where you are. Albus you return to Hogwarts and fill her in. Severus, it would be safer for you if you remain here. The magic surrounding this place will keep Voldemort for not only finding you, but will also block the pain you fell when you are summoned.” Adrienne instructed.
“Are you sure? I don’t want to put you or your granddaughter in danger.” he asked.
“I insist Severus. Now, Ivy.” Adrienne called.
“Yes Mistress.” Said yet another elf.
“Please take Master Severus upstairs to the guest room next to Hermione. He is your charge. Should he need anything, you will get it.” Adrienne instructed gently.
“Oh yes Mistress!” the elf said excitedly.
The elf took the Potions Master by the hand and led him away. Adrienne and Albus smiled as they watched them leave. Adrienne walked Albus to the front door. Albus paused and faced his friend.
“How long until Hermione tells him of the real reason she wanted him as her guard?” Albus asked.
“I give her until sundown tomorrow. I wonder what he’s going to think about that though?” Adrienne replied.
“He’ll take to the notion just fine. After all, I have seen the way he has been looking at her over the past year. Besides, thanks to her use of the time turner, she’s now technically twenty.” Albus chuckled.
“Good night old friend.” Adrienne laughed.
Albus apparated back to Hogwarts. Adrienne let out a sigh. All her family was gone except for Hermione. Slowly she made her way upstairs. As she paused at Hermione’s room, she looked in. She smiled at what she saw.
There in a chair next to Hermione’s bed was Severus. He was gently holding her hand and speaking quietly to her. Softly she closed the door and headed for her own bedroom. It seemed that things just might work out after all. Especially if her and Albus were correct in their assumptions about Hermione and Severus.
