“I’m scared out of my wits Richard... I don’t know what to do.”
“Don’t worry Tobias, you’re a great guy, they’ll surely like you.”
“But what will her parents say? I’m her former teacher remember?”
“Well they better see some sense. I myself am going to meet my daughter’s fiancé today. I just hope he’s a good man, he was a former kind of mafia member you see.”
“I understand.”
With that Severus Tobias Snape left the book club to fetch his fiancée at Hogwarts while Henry Richard Granger went to his home to meet his daughter and her fiancé.
---O---“Don’t worry Severus they themselves have a ten year age gap!”
“We have twenty.”
“But you have another hundred years to live.”
“Point taken.”
Hermione rang the doorbell and was met by her mother.
“Come in,” said Helen Sally Granger with a smile as she called her husband.
The two entered. “Mom, dad, this is my fiancé...”
“Tobias?” asked the man who came out of the kitchen incredulously.
“Richard?”
The two men looked at each other and then to Hermione and they laughed.
Hermione looked at the two shocked. “You know each other?”
The two men just laughed some more.
---O---
Henry looked at Severus, “Blimey Tobias, you dress like a priest!”
Severus smirked, “These are traditional wizarding robes you know.”
“So that’s why he looked familiar,” said Helen.
Hermione turned to her mother, “You know him too?”
Severus greeted Helen, “Oh hello Sally, long time no see.”
Hermione felt left out, “Will you guys please explain?”
Henry chuckled, “We’re of the same book club and we had breakfast with Helen one time.”
Hermione narrowed her eyes at Severus, “You know each other and you never said a word.”
“I didn’t really know, we used our second names or pseudonyms there.”
---O---
“Come to the dining room, dinner’s ready,” said Henry and they all followed.
“So Tobias, you’re actually Severus Snape, terror Hogwarts’ Potions Master, and former spy?” asked Henry.
Severus looked discomfited, “Yes.”
Henry clapped his back, “Well welcome to the family!”
Hermione and Severus stared at him in shock, “Just like that?” they said in unison.
Henry looked at Helen and she nodded, “You see, I had known Severus here for years and he’s a pleasant chap. Unless, that’s all an act?”
Severus shook his head, “No, of course it wasn’t.”
“Never imagined my son-in-law to be a good friend!”
---O---
“Henry and Hermione tells me good things about you,” said Helen.
“Thank you Sally,” said Severus.
“Call us by our first names now on.”
“Okay.”
“You know Herms, the funniest thing happened this morning.” said Henry fondly.
“What dad?”
“You see, I and Tobias were talking in the club this morning. We were telling each other about our problems and were comforting each other. Guess what’s the topic?”
“What’s wrong with that? Can’t think of anything. Unless…”
“It’s about him meeting his fiancée’s parents and me meeting my daughter’s fiancé.
“The irony,” chuckled Hermione as they talked about one another.
