A Gift of A Tree
Chapter 1: And Your Doctor Is….
Hermione- 4 months along………………Minerva- 2 months along
Hermione sat on the exam table in a room at St. Mungo's nervously staring at the door.
"Don't worry so much love. Pamona recommended this new doctor personally," Severus replied from the opposite side of the room.
He and Hermione Granger-Snape had been married for about six years now and had a three year old son named Samuel. Now here they were at St. Mungo's meeting a new doctor for the care of the child she was currently pregnant with.
"I know I just…I liked Healer Dames. I'm sad he retired," Hermione sighed tucking a loose hair back into her bun.
"Well Pamona said this lady was a complete professional," Snape replied.
"What's her name again?" Hermione asked as they heard screaming.
"Mc something…maybe she's Irish or Scottish," Severus shrugged.
Just then the door opened and a woman came in with her back to them as she shouted down the hall.
"You tell her I don't care what she thinks she's getting that shot and that's final!" a Scottish/ French accent snapped angrily before shutting the door and putting her head on the shut door.
The woman mumbled something in French before sighing and turning a smiling and energetic face on the couple.
"Good morning! I'm sorry about that but I have a patient that never likes to listen to me on the medicine she needs. Little child is quite like her mother I'm afraid," the woman explained, "Now what do we have here?"
Hermione blinked in shock at the woman before her.
This woman was very tall and slim with very long legs. She had long black ringlet locks that went to her middle back with a section on the left side of her hair that was a grey streak. The woman had a few wrinkles and aged lines but overall looked like an incredibly virile sixty year old woman with deep read lips and dark emerald eyes. She wore a white lab coat with a name badge on it that said K McG; OBGYN, MD. Under her lab coat she wore a tight dark blue dress with a gold belt to accentuate the waist and gold high heels. She also wore gold jewelry.
"I'm Severus Snape and this is my wife Hermione," Severus replied standing.
"Ah yes Professors at Hogwarts it says," the woman nodded looking down at the chart in her hand.
"Yes we are," Severus nodded as he came over taking his wife's hand.
"Oh this is your second!" the woman stated smiling at the younger woman.
"Yes it is…um who are you?" Hermione finally asked.
"Oh yes sorry. I'm so scattered today," the woman sighed flipping her hair over her shoulder, "I'm your OBGYN and if you like also the pediatrician for this child. I'm Dr. K McG."
"And that stands for what exactly?" Severus asked.
"Katherine McGonagall but it's a big mouth full especially for my younger patients," Katherine laughed, "So if you lay back dear we'll get started."
Hermione lay back on the bed with Severus squeezing her hand reassuringly as the Healer came toward her.
"Um you wouldn't be related to Minerva McGonagall-Dumbledore would you?" Hermione asked.
"Ah yes that would be one of my daughters. I trust she's a fair employer as is Albus," Katherine smiled as she lifted Hermione's blouse and began prodding her stomach.
Hermione was surprised the woman's hands were very warm and a strange vibration came from them.
"Not to worry love. That's just my magic coaxing the baby about. I have quite the specialty in healing and delivering," Katherine said softly.
"So you're Minerva's mother. You look the same age as her," Severus stated.
"Thank you it's all in how you tend to your magic and your body," Katherine replied, "I'm celebrating my bicentennial today."
"Surely you jest," Hermione gasped.
"No I don't," Katherine laughed, "I am 200 today and decided the best way to celebrate the fact I am still fit enough to play Quidditch with my grandkids is to come into work. My husband works upstairs in the psychiatric ward. He's a psychiatrist of course."
"How does everything look?" Severus asked.
"Oh everything seems lovely. Now as I understand it your four months along. Would you like to know the sex?" Katherine asked.
"Um no…not yet at least," Hermione replied.
"Very well. You can get up dear. I'll see you in a month," Katherine smiled pulling the girl's blouse back down and walking out of the room with the chart.
"That was odd," Severus replied.
"She seemed rather nice though. She looked almost just like Minerva," Hermione stated as they walked down the hall to the reception desk to schedule their next appointment.
When they got there they were mildly surprised to see Minerva and Albus standing with a little five year old that was quietly sobbing.
"I think we just found out who it was she was annoyed at," Severus smirked.
Hermione batted his arm playfully as they came up to the trio.
"Hello Hermione and Severus. It's so good to see you two," Minerva smiled hugging both.
"What are you doing here?" Albus asked.
"Hermione had an appointment with her new doctor. Apparently it is your mother," Severus replied eyeing Minerva.
"What a coincidence," Albus laughed, "Minerva was here to see her mother about her pregnancy and Guinny was here for a booster."
The little child with the crimson curls and blue eyes sniffed laying her head on her daddy's shoulder.
"She bit the nurse," Minerva sighed, "I'm afraid she's not very good with check ups."
"That's too bad…but you're pregnant again?" Hermione asked.
"Yes only two months though," Minerva replied, "It's quite something then again I suppose its all relative."
"Interesting choice of words pet," a deep Irish voice chuckled.
"Father!" Minerva gasped and turned smiling brightly as she was caught up by a strong and broadly built man's arms as he spun her slightly and kissed her head.
"I'm here to steel your mother for lunch," the man chuckled.
"She's in her office Dr. McGonagall," the nurse at the desk stated.
"Ah thank you Donna," the man nodded.
"Before you go father I want you to meet my former students who are now two professors with us. Severus Snape and Hermione Granger-Snape," Minerva replied.
"How do you do I'm Stewart McGonagall, PhD.," the man smiled shaking Severus' hand.
He had salt and pepper hair cut short with a bushy mustache and blue grey eyes wearing a black suit with a black shirt and turquoise tie also wth a white lab coat over it.
"Pleasure," Hermione smiled.
"Mommy can I go with grandpa? It is grandma's birthday," the little girl replied.
"I thought you were mad at grandma because she made you have a shot," Albus teased.
"Not no more," Guinevere replied.
"Come on then Guinny and we'll go see grandma," Stewart chuckled.
"Is he 200 years old?" Hermione asked.
"Actually he's 230," Minerva replied, "Mother is his second wife."
"Second," Hermione stated.
"Yes," Minerva nodded, "Well we have to get back to the other kids. See you at school."
"Bye," the Snapes nodded as the Dumbledores headed in one direction and they the other.
