summer loss third year fears
Once again instead of taking the train home like the other students her head of house escorted her home back to the same house and hermione was nearly bouncing in excitement she saw both vehicles and this time she didn’t hesitate she yanked the door open and ran in jumping into the nearest mans arms which happens to be Sam.
For a moment they’re all shocked but sam quickly recovers and hugged her tightly to his chest the other two immediately stopping what they’re doing and surrounding her and sam till its one big group hug and hermione smiled instantly feeling better being with her boys, being petrified had scared her more than she had let on to her friends and now she was home nothing could ruin this right? Wrong.
A throat cleared and the Winchester boys looked towards the kitchen entryway warningly hermione turned and almost fainted at the sight of her father.
Bobby looked at them “Look who the cat drug in.” he said
Hermione looked at her boys and moved to john staying halfway behind him this past school year had made her afraid and she wasn’t as confident as she normally was and the fact her father knew who she was didn’t bode well for her.
“What nothing to say to your old man after you try to wipe his memories of you so you can run off with a man old enough to be your father?” he said his voice slightly different setting off warning bells in hermione’s mind she knew her boys hadn’t noticed it. It was very slight, and she only caught it cause he was her father.
“Bobby.” Dean said warningly
Bobby rolled his eyes “Right watch my tone and mouth.” He said rolling his eyes moving closer. Hermione darted out around them and hid behind her head of house who was still there his wand had come out at the sight of an unfamiliar man and his hand was now twitching as he watched his snake hide behind him.
Bobby watched her “What do you think im gonna hurt my own daughter?” he said and put a hand to his chest “I’m hurt hermione.” He said
“Stay away from me.” She said
“Is that any way to speak to your old man young lady?” he said
She looked at sam, dean, and john to see them watching her reaction to bobby hermione hid more behind Snape and Snape’s stance got more protective.
“How do you know who I am?” she demanded snakingly putting it together that this wasn’t her father at all there’s only one way to undo the obliviate curse and she hadn’t done it.
“Your head master he came to tell me you where petrified and was quite shocked I didn’t know who you where he restored my memories.” Bobby said easily walking towards her.
Severus raised his wand pointing it at bobby’s face “Easy now she is still in my care until I decide to leave one wrong move and I will kill you.” He said
“Your gonna keep me away from my daughter?” he said tauntingly
“Bobby damnit cool it he can kill you with words that’s it now why is hermione so afraid of you.” Sam said.
Hermione looked at her boys “You can’t see it?” she asked
All three of them shook their heads at her.
“That’s not dad guys that’s a freaking ghoul.” She said
All three men pull out their blades and moved to stand by Severus in front of hermione. Hermione stayed close to her potions professor. Severus squared his shoulders “How do you kill this thing?” he asked
Bobby stared at them.
“Beheading.” Hermione told him trying to hold it together.
“diffindo.” He said and severed the head from the body and watched it fall to the ground he felt the back of his robes dampened and he turned to see hermione crying he looked to the other three men for an explanation.
All three men looked somber.
“A ghoul can only take the shape of the last victims flesh they consumed.” John said tiredly.
Hermione let out a sob had she wanted her dad not to know who she was yes but only till she was 17 and he could no longer legally do anything about her and john being together and now she knew he was dead she just wanted her daddy back.
Severus winced sadly and pulled his snake in his arms rubbing her back gently he held her close and sighed he waved his wand over the remains 0f the ghoul and made them disappear. Then he moved and handed her to john who pulled her to him and held her as she sobbed into his shoulder clinging to him.
“Regretfully I must return to Hogwarts but if my snake needs anything do not hesitate to get ahold of me.” He said.
The three men nodded, and the potions master disappeared.

Hermione didn’t do much that summer just grieved for her father, the boys didn’t hunt they all stayed with her and regularly Severus would make an appearance to check on her, he’d make her get up and do things and talk to her there was many times he couldn’t show up. The boys where grateful she had a someone outside of them who cared for her, they knew she had friends, but they were glad that they had another adult at that school they knew they could trust.
Hermione sat on the couch with dean snuggled into his side her boys and her head of house had been getting her to heal as best they could like sam she hadn’t known her mother much when she died so it didn’t hurt that bad not having her cause she had never had her outside of pictures from her father she wouldn’t even know what her mother looked like she had died when she was three.
She looked up as john walked in the room but surprisingly it wasn’t just Severus, he walked in with but draco too and in the month and half of summer since she’d seen her friend, he’d had a growth spurt and had stopped putting gel in his hair. She liked it I made his hair look more like Harrys. She got up and met him half-way hugging him.
Draco hugged her back gently “Severus brought me thought you could use someone to hang out with besides a bunch of old farts.” He joked
Hey!” said three irritated men Severus just smirked at his god son.
Hermione giggled and her boys relaxed hearing her giggle for the first time that summer made them smile. Draco pulled her to the table and pulled out a chess set.
“Game of wizarding chess before we do a little summer homework?” he asked
“Sure.” She said and sat down and helped him set it up.
The men smiled at the two teens as they played their game they sat down, and john looked at his sons and nodded to the small kitchen and the four men walked in there.
“Severus came to warn us there’s been a break out at the wizarding prison a mass murderer known as Sirius Black has escaped and no one knows where he is but he is possibly after hermione’s friend harry potter he was the one that sold the potters out to the dark lord 12 years ago.” John said.
“So much for the safest place on earth.” Dean snorted
John and sam gave him and look and Severus raised an eyebrow at him.
“What its true that crackpot old fool told us that she would be in the safest place in the world and so far she’s faced possessed teachers done things that would make most grown men and women shake in fear and she’s been petrified now an adult dark wizard has escaped and has a hard on to hurt one of her friends and with the way Hermine was raised she’d gonna be right there beside the kid.” Dean said
“He’s got a point.” Sam said.
John rubbed his face tiredly looking at Severus “Tell them what you told me Severus.” He said rubbing his face quietly.
“Hermione is a Muggleborn therefore she has a magical guardian set up for her as it is the same for all muggleborns and only their magical guardian can pull them from school.” He said
The boys started at him then their father. John nodded quietly “All muggleborns have the same guardian…” the boys faces Hardened in realization. without john even saying it.
“Dumbledore.” Dean said now pissed off
Severus nodded to them “I’ve petitioned the ministry for magical custody of Miss. Singer but im being blocked by the headmasters goons at every turn I’ve spun it that since she is a slytherin and not a Gryffindor it would make more sense that her head of house had custody incase the head master is unable to make any such decisions Minerva is the deputy and head of Gryffindor so her word carries as much weight as Dumbledore’s does so the muggleborns in Gryffindor are legally her charges but Pomona and fillius the other heads are too far up Dumbledore’s ass to take control of the muggleborns in their houses hermione is the first Muggleborn in slytherin she’s rather special having made such a feat the head master is reluctant to relinquish his control over her.” He said
“Hermione ain’t someone to be controlled Severus.” Dean said “Is there anything we can do to sneak control away from him?” he asked
“I’m working on it, I’ve talked to Draco’s father and spun it that I don’t want the old bastard to have control over my snakes and her being slytherin and his sons best friend allows Lucius to overlook her blood and help me.” He said
The men nodded and dean wrapped an arm around john’s waist and Severus cracked a smile he hadn’t seen a couple more in love than lily and James though he knew hermione was also with john and it was just as strong of a bond there was something between the two men that was rare. People had thought he was in love with lily but to be honest he was just friends with her she was his best friend and after she married James and he saw for himself their bond she became his sister.
He didn’t hate James and he was hard on harry because he had potential and he wanted to push him to it get him out from under the bastards feet and get him to rise to his full potential because the dark lord will stop at nothing till he’s dead he failed his sister he was not gonna fail her son.
The men heard Draco’s groan of defeat her hermione’s giggle and they assumed hermione had beat draco in wizarding chess. The chuckled and moved back to the living room seeing draco pout hermione grin at him holding her hand out.
He grumbled and handed her a bag of sweets and the sight had the grown ups snickering. “Playing him for candy hermione?” dean chuckled.
“I didn’t feel right taking his money again, so I took his sweets.” She said smirking.
The boys laughed and Severus smirked at his godson. “Are you ever gonna learn not to dare her?” he asked
Draco grumbled.
Hermione stuck her hand in the bag and pulled out a red lollipop opening it she started sucking on it. Dean reached behind her and stuck his hand in pulling out a white feather looking piece of candy he looked at the wizards in the room and they chuckled.
“Sugar quill hermione’s favorite all these are her favorite candy I learned never bring candy around her that she don’t like she always ends up with it.” Draco said
Dean opened it and tried it looking at her “It’s good im stealing this one sweet heart.” He said
She rolled her eyes and looked through the bag then smirked “Johnny, sammy I got something for you to try.” she said
They looked at her and walked over she placed a bean in their hands “berrty bots every flavored jelly beans.” She said and they both nodded missing the smirks Severus and Draco sported but dean didn’t he watched john and Sam’s reactions and wasn’t disappointed when they both started spitting the candy out making the three magical beings laugh as they wiped their mouths out making gagging noises.
“What was it?” dean asked
Hermione slipped one in his hand and he looked at it then her and tried it “Mm cherry.” He said
Sam and john looked at him
“cherry? Mine tasted like vomit.” John said
“Mine tasted like earwax.” Sam said
“That’s cause they where when the box says every flavor, they mean every flavor known to man.” Draco said
Hermione still hadn’t stopped laughing holding onto deans arm they smiled at their girl she looked at sam and john “That’s for eating my cookies.” She said
They rolled their eyes. Glad she was finally acting like herself again.

Hermione enjoyed her summers and she enjoyed her schooling sometimes she wished she had more time with her boys but learning magic and being with her friends made her happy. When she went back to school she had still been a little somber over her father and draco had taken the high road and grudgingly explained to the two Gryffindor’s she hadn’t been ignoring them that summer she had just lost her father and it only saw her friend’s come together to support her.
None of them dared to treat her any differently after she had hexed ron in defense against the dark arts for treating her like a fragile piece of glass she hated it.
ron had been teetering around her like she’d break at any moment and she’d finally snapped on the second day of lessons about boggarts when ron told her he’d take care of her boggart if she needed him to.
Just to prove a point after she hexed him she moved to the front of the class and faced the boggart head on determined to prove she wasn’t weak.
The creature had shifted and turned for a good five minutes before it finally settled on the forms of her boys making her frown as well as draco who knew who the men where.
She watched as a man with yellow eyes appeared and snapped johns neck she let a scream out and fell to her knees and it became worse as the boggart sam and dean turn to her and started yelling at her calling her freak and saying it was her fault then the yellowed eyed man forced sam to kill dean and she sobbed harder begging him not to kill sam
the man laughed cruelly and instead he bled in sams mouth until sams eyes went yellow and he pointed a gun at her by this time she had replaced grief with anger and pulled out her wand screaming ridiculous as loud as she could and the yellow eyed man and sam became clown jack in the boxes
However, no one in the class laughed draco harry and ron ran to her and professor lupin had dismissed the class immediately and had Floo called her head of house and the headmaster.
Hermione sobbed into Draco’s shoulder as harry and ron rubbed her back draco whispered it wasn’t real soothingly in her ear.
Both Snape and Dumbledore rushed into the classroom and snape moved knocking both harry and ron out of the way pulling his snake close to him and looked at draco for explanation while harry ron and Remus explained it to Dumbledore.
“Just look in my mind.” Draco whispered quietly
He nodded and did as requested, draco played the events back and snape paled slightly holding hermione close to him he made a copy of Draco’s memories and he lifted her up and carried her out of the classroom ignoring the old fool of a headmaster. He carried her to his private chambers and laid her down.
Snape Floo called the Winchesters and opened the network going through and bringing them into Hogwarts, all three men were worried Severus had just said they were needed and hadn’t explained he lead them to his private bed chambers, and they saw hermione laying on the bed crying.
John moved first and pulled his girl in his arms hermione took a deep breathe immediately smelling johns worn leather gun powder and whiskey scent she clutched him to her sobbing again.
Hermione cried herself to sleep in johns arms and even in her sleep refused to let go when sam and dean got close even in her sleep her hand shot out and pulled them to her till the three men surrounded her.
They looked to Severus for answers he gave them a grimace “They were learning about boggarts in DADA today boggarts are creatures that take the form of the thing you fear most but they aren’t harmful a simple charm can dispel them into something funny, hermione faced her boggart today as a way to prove to her idiot friend she wasn’t as breakable as he had been treating her.” He explained and he pulled out a pensive pouring the memories into the basin and cast a spell projecting those memories.
The three Winchester men watched as hermione hexed her friend then marched to the front of the class determined to prove she wasn’t fragile. They watched as the boggart shifted and turned and when they saw themselves, they frowned in confusion seeing their girl frown too.
they watched on and as the scene played out they all paled significantly and once it was over they were all staring at their girl sadly this mission to kill the demon that had killed both mary and sams girlfriend and had done what he had to sam had all affected them but they hadn’t realized it had affected their girl as well most kids her age should be worried about spiders and school work but she was plagued with nightmares about that bastard. She had lost so much, and her greatest fear was losing them to that bastard.
Sam and dean both put a hand on her shoulder as john continued to hold her to his chest their anger at the thing that had caused their family so much grief had just skyrocketed, he was affecting their girl and that wasn’t acceptable.
