A New Story

Chapter 10

'Hermione, where are you?' Harry shouted in the library.

'I'm over here, Harry.'

They went over to the aisle that they heard Hermione's voice coming from.

'There you are.' Ron said.

'I just found an interesting book about The Sacred 28.'

'What's that?' 

'It means the 28 families that have never conceived with a muggles or muggleborns in all the bloodlines. You two are part of it. The Potters and Weasleys.'

'There are only 28 and we're in it, that's cool.' remarked Harry.

'Oh and I also found out something about Professor Snape's bloodline. He is the grandson of Edward and Charlotte Prince. The Princes are the only family in the entire world that have male bearers.'

'What does that mean?' Harry was more than curious.

'It means that your father might be able to carry children.'

'What?! But he's a man. How do that even work?' 

'Surprisingly, I haven't read about that yet. Maybe I can find a book in here that will explain it.'

'The Princes are the only family that can produce male bearers.' Harry repeated to himself. 'So can my dad really have children?'

'Possibly, I read in the book that Eileen Prince was disowned by her family because she married a muggle man. His muggle blood could've tainted the ability but there's a huge chance that it did not.'

'I'm getting a bit bored here, discussing our professor's reproductive system.' Ron chimed in.

'Oh yeah, do you want to play a game of chess or exploding snaps, or eat lunch first?'

'Lunch. I'm so hungry that I can eat a hippogriff.'

'You just had snacks, Ron.' 

'I am a growing child. I need to eat to grow, y'know.'

'Whatever you say.'

'To the kitchen we go.' 

'He's too much.' laughed Hermione to Harry, following Ron who was nearly sprinting.

When they arrived in the kitchen, they did not expect to see Severus standing next to the stove cooking something that smelled exceptionally yummy.

'Ahh, children, I was cooking up some lunch for you.'

A timer rung at that moment and the professor took some yummy looking pasta out of the oven.

'Professor, that looks delicious. Would you mind tell me the recipe?' Hermione asked, gulping.

'Sure, I will write it down for you.'

'Thank you.'

The four sat down and started to dig in. After they ate it all, Severus said

'Oh, I almost forgot. I prepared dessert. By the way, I saw what you left me, Mister Weasley. Please give your mother my gratitude.' He took something out of the freezer.

 'Ice cream!' Ron shouted and grabbed one.

When they finished everything, the trio went to Harry's room to play a game of chess.

'I didn't know you were so good at this game, Ronald.' Hermione said after Ron won a game.

'I practice it a lot with my brothers.'

'Is it true that you have six siblings?'

'Yeah, it's really chaotic sometimes.'

'I think that it must be fun to have so many siblings.'

'It's not, trust me, it's absolutely exhausting. You won't have privacy at all.'
