Serenity's eyes widen when she hears about the new thing that Snape will teach her.
"French and Bulgaria? I am going to learn their language?" smiled Serenity.
"Indeed, we shall begin with French tomorrow for the entire week along with another subject. Of course, Occumency and Legilimence continue as usual" explains Snape as he eats his dinner.
Serenity continues to smile as she looks at her father.
"What is it?" asked Snape simply.
"Nothing. It seems that it is just no limit to your knowledge father" answered Serenity and starts to eat.
"One thing you must bury in your core Serenity, THERE IS NO LIMIT WHEN IT COMES TO KNOWLEDGE" press Snape.
"Yes, father" answered Serenity obediently.
**********
A week passed and Serenity enjoys her language class. Most of all, she likes the sound of her father's voice when he speaks French. Snape sounds so posh when she speaks French. Serenity wants to speak French the same way Snape does. Along the way during Occlumency, Snape finds out about Serenity's quarrel with Hermione.
"Avez-vous eu une querelle avec votre ami? (Did you quarrel with your friend?)" ask Snape when their lesson for that day is over.
Serenity froze, then slowly she relaxes.
"Oui, father" answered Serenity slowly, it is painful now to think of Hermione.
It has been a week and Serenity still did not have the guts to contact Hermione. Snape takes a deep breath and leans back in his chair.
"J'ai un ami une fois qui m'est tres cher. (I have a friend once who is very dear to me)" begin Snape.
Serenity blinks her eyes, looking up at her father.
"Une fois que? (Once?)" ask Serenity curiously in moderate French.
Snape node his head slowly. He has never talked about any of his friends to Serenity before, that if he considers those who they meet every year at Malfoy's Manor for Christmas as a friend. But by the look of her father's expression, sad and regretful, she knew, this friend is not like any other friend.
"Qu'est-ce qui se passe? (What happen?)" ask Serenity.
Snape smirk slightly, he looks sadder than ever.
"Je suis un imbecile. Pour ma fierte, j'ai perdu cet ami pour toujours. (I am a fool. For my pride, I lost that friend, forever)" answer Snape slowly.
Serenity signs slowly.
"Ne faites pas la meme erreur que moi, Serenity. (Do not make the same mistake as I do, Serenity)" advise Snape gently.
"Father, tu peux m'aider avec quelque chose? (Father, can you help me with something?)" ask Serenity.
**********
Snape appears in front of decent looking muggle house along with Serenity by his side. They both are in muggle clothing but they stick to Snape's colour. Black.
"Go on" say Snape pushing Serenity forward.
Serenity walks nervously towards the house. Hermione's house. With a deep breath, Serenity pushes the bell. Then a woman of the same age as her father open the door. Hermione's mother. She is surprised to see Serenity there.
"Good morning Madam" greet Serenity politely.
"Good morning my dear. Can I help you?" asked Mrs Granger motherly.
