Star Crossed Lovers
Chapter 9
Hermione sat up in bed covered with sweat, tears filling her eyes and fear clutching her heart. She realized she had just had one of Severus’s visions. She leapt from bed, threw on her dressing gown and ran to Remus’s room. She burst in and startled Remus who sat up and drew his wand.
“Hermione? God you scared me. I thought you were a Death Eater.” Remus sighed in relief.
“Remus, you’ve got to get to Hogwarts. Now. I had a vision of Albus killing Severus.” Hermione pleaded.
“Slow down. You had a vision? Like Severus has?” Remus asked.
“Yes I saw Albus got to Severus’s rooms while he was sleeping. He cast the binding spell then proceeded to kill him. Remus please! I can not and will not lose him!” Hermione cried.
Remus merely nodded. With a flick of his wand he was dressed. Remus patted her shoulder then apparated away. Hermione only hoped he would not be too late. Just then Sharon began to cry. Hermione went to the nursery.
“There, there little one. Daddy will be fine. Sshh. Mommy’s here.” Hermione whispered as she began walking the room while rocking Sharon.
Shawn simply continued to sleep. It was as if Shawn knew everything would work out and Sharon wasn’t so sure of that. Hermione sat in the rocking chair in front of the window and just rocked her daughter while staring at the stars.
Remus appeared just outside the gates of Hogwarts. He quickly hurried across the grounds and up to the castle. In the main hall he saw Minerva heading for the dungeons. He hurried to catch up with her.
“Minerva.” Remus said.
“Remus? What are you doing here?” Minerva asked in shock.
“Hermione had a vision of Albus killing Severus as he slept. Where is Albus?” Remus explained.
“Albus left his office around eleven. Oh no. I bet he was heading for Severus’s rooms.” Minerva gasped.
“Come on.” Remus said as he grabbed her hand.
Remus and Minerva began running as fast as they could. Meanwhile, Albus had just entered Severus’s sitting room. He knew Severus would be asleep. If he could only make it to the bedroom without alerting Severus, he would be fine. Slowly and quietly, Albus entered the bedroom.
He looked on the bed and saw the potions master sound asleep. Albus drew his wand and pointed it at the younger wizard. Suddenly Severus’s eyes flew open, but Albus was prepared for this.
“Pertrificus Totalus.” Albus said.
Severus was instantly unable to move.
‘Damnit! Albus knows if I can’t move I can’t use my abilities. Think Severus think! You can’t die like this!’ Severus’s mind screamed at him.
Albus walked to the side of the bed and looked down at Severus. Severus watched in fear as Albus pointed his wand at his chest. His eyes must shown his fear and anger, because Albus gave in a look that showed pity.
“I’m sorry my boy. This is the only way. I can’t allow you to live. May the gods above forgive me.” Albus said.
Severus closed his eyes. His thoughts were rushing around Hermione, their child that he would never get to see or hold, fearing that Albus would discover her and their child and then kill them as well.
“Avada…”
“ALBUS STOP!” Minerva screamed.
“Expelliarmus!” Remus yelled.
Albus’s wand flew into Remus’s hands.
“Albus, this doesn’t have to happen. I know about that damned prophecy, but you don’t have to kill him.” Remus said, never taking his eyes off Albus.
“Severus can not live Remus. Surely you understand why? He’s too powerful for his own good.” Albus pleaded.
“Listen to yourself. Severus is not a threat to anyone. You seem to be the only one threatened by his abilities. Everyone else doesn’t fear them, so why do you?” Remus asked.
“I’ve seen what powers like that can do! They will eventually take control of Severus and then there will be no saving him! Do you think you are saving him Remus? You are only prolonging the inevitable!” Albus yelled.
“Albus please. Listen to Remus. He knows what he’s saying. The prophecy doesn’t have to happen.” Minerva pleaded, hoping to make Albus see reason.
“IT DOES! SEVERUS SNAPE MUST DIE!” Albus screamed, with a crazed, wild look to him.
Remus and Minerva just stared at the aged wizard. It was what he said next that made Remus realize the prophecy had to happen.
“IF HE LIVES THEN I WILL JUST GO AFTER HIS WIFE AND CHILD! YES! DID YOU THINK I DIDN’T KNOW! YOU MAY HAVE SAVED SEVERUS, BUT COULD YOU SAVE HERMIONE AND HIS OFFSPRING REMUS?” Albus yelled.
“I am sorry old friend. Enervate.” Remus said.
Severus sat up and just started clutching his fist. Albus began grabbing at his throat, trying to loosen the invisible grip.
“I will not let you harm my wife or child. I will not let you harm anyone else ever again Albus. I am sorry but you are the threat now, not me.” Severus whispered as he watched Albus take his last breath.
Severus released his fist and Albus slumped to the floor dead. Remus and Minerva rushed to Severus who had his head in his hands.
“What have I done?” Severus asked quietly.
“You did what was prophesized of you. I will alert the Ministry. Remus and I will show our memories and we will need yours. I will also see if the prophecy could be removed. You need not worry son.” Minerva said as she gathered Severus into her arms.
For the next half hour, the three removed their memories of that night and Severus removed his memories of everything that surrounded the prophecy and Albus, as well as about him and Hermione marrying in secret of the news of her being pregnant. Once the memories were placed in a pensive, Severus packed all his belongings and left for Italy.
“You will be safer away from here till all this is straightened out. Spend time with your wife Severus.” Minerva said.
“Thank you. Both of you. Not just for saving my life, but Hermione’s as well.” Severus replied.
“You’re welcome my friend. Oh, you will also find a wonderful surprise once you reach Italy.” Remus said with a smile.
Severus looked confused, but said nothing. He hurried from the castle and apparated away. He reached the outskirts of the village and quietly made his way to the cottage. After what seemed like a life time he finally reached the cottage.
Hermione was standing on the patio that was connected to her bedroom. She was worried about Severus. Remus had been gone for over an hour and still no word yet. She prayed that Severus was safe. She turned to re-enter her bedroom when she saw a figure standing in the door way.
“SEVERUS!” she cried and ran to him.
Severus gathered her in his arms and just held her. Grateful she was alive and back in his arms. Hermione held onto him for dear life. Afraid that this was some dream and he would disappear if she let go.
“You’re alive. I was so scared Severus. I thought I would never see you again.” she cried.
“Sshh. I know love. I know. When Albus came to my chambers and put me under the full body bind, I knew I would never see you or our child again. Thank god Remus and Minerva were there.” he whispered.
“I sent Remus. I had a vision of Albus killing you. I woke up and sent Remus to warn you.” she said.
“I guess you’ve received more of my abilities than I thought.” he said with a chuckle.
“I guess so. Come here. There’s someone you need to meet.” she said.
Hermione took his hand and led him into the nursery. They stepped up to the side by side cribs. Severus looked and saw his twin son and daughter then looked at Hermione in surprise.
“Twins?” he asked.
“Yes. It seems their heartbeats were beating in sync with one another and that’s why we didn’t know.” she answered.
Severus reached in and pick up one of the sleeping babies while Hermione picked up the other.
“You are holding Sharon Marie. And this is her older brother Shawn Augusts.” Hermione stated.
“Hello Sharon. Hello Shawn. Oh Hermione, they’re beautiful. Just like their mother.” Severus said happily.
“Come on daddy. Let’s let them sleep. You have all day tomorrow to spend time with them.” Hermione replied as she gently placed Shawn back in his crib and Severus did the same with Sharon.
The couple re-entered the bedroom, stripped off their clothes, climbed in bed and just held each other. All talking would wait until morning. Hermione and Severus just wanted to savor being in each other’s arms once again.
