Star Crossed Lovers

Chapter 11

The Wizengamot was alive with cries of outrage and sobs. Minerva, Remus, Sirius and Harry sat there and waited for the Minister of Magic to speak. Finally he rose to his feet. The court fell silent.

“Severus Snape should be punished for his crimes. He killed Albus Dumbledore.” Minister Rufus Scrimgeour said.

The court erupted once more. Sirius and Harry had had enough. Both jumped to their feet and began telling the court to shut up. After ten minutes, there was silence. Sirius spoke first.

“Severus Snape killed Albus Dumbledore in self defense! You’ve seen the pensives from Minerva, Remus and those of Severus Snape himself! Albus even threatened to go after Hermione and their child! How can you say that Severus is guilty of anything!” Sirius bellowed.

“Sirius is right. All through Hogwarts and even after I noticed that Albus seemed to be manipulating Severus. I should know after all, Albus tired to manipulate me once or twice. You have all seen and heard the prophecy concerning Severus and Albus as well! It clearly states that Severus would have to kill Albus to bring peace back to the Wizarding world! You should all be thanking Severus Snape right now! Not condemning him!” Harry yelled.

The court just sat in silence. They were all thinking about what they had seen in the pensives and what the prophecy said. They were also taking to heart what Sirius and Harry had just said. Finally, the Minister asked for a vote.

“All those in favor of sending Severus Snape to Azkaban raise your hands.” Rufus said.

Not a single member raised their hand.

“Those in favor of dismissing all charges and awarding Severus Snape an Order of Merlin First Class, raise your hands.” Rufus asked again.

This time everyone raised their hands. It was unanimous. Harry, Minerva, Remus and Sirius let out a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.

“Very well. Charges dropped. Court is adjourned.” Rufus said.

The four stayed behind to collect Severus and Hermione’s medals. Hermione was receiving an Order of Merlin First Class as well for her involvement in deciphering and brewing of the potion that ultimately brought Voldemort down once and for all.

“When should we tell the couple the happy news?” Sirius asked.

“I think now would be a good time.” Remus answered.

The four quickly apparated to Italy. Back at the cottage, Hermione and Severus sat in the living room with the twins laying on a blanket. Severus and Hermione were enjoying their peaceful time alone. Just then there was a knock on the door.

“I got it.” Severus said.

Severus opened the door and smiled slightly as he let the four in.

“Hermione, we have visitors.” Severus said.

“HERMIONE!” Sirius and Harry called out as they ran to her and hugged her.

“Harry, Sirius. It’s so good to see you.” Hermione laughed.

“What? Twins?” Sirius asked as he raised his eye brow.

“That’s right. Their heartbeats were beating in sync with one another so we had no idea until Hermione went into labor.” Severus answered as Harry and Sirius sat down beside the children.

“They are beautiful. Congratulations.” Sirius said as he stood once more and offered his hand to Severus.

“Sirius is right. They are the most beautiful children I have ever seen.” Harry said as he too offered his hand.

Severus thanked them and shook both their hands. Minerva helped Hermione take the children to the nursery. One the two women returned, they began telling them what had happened with the Order and Wizengamot. Severus was surprised that Sirius and Harry stood behind him, but grateful.

“The Wizengamot voted unanimously. You’ve been cleared and rewarded an Order of Merlin First Class. So has Hermione.” Minerva said as she hand them their medals.

Severus just sat there. He was free. Finally, one hundred percent free. He could now spend the rest of his life with Hermione and their children without fear of someone finding out or trying to hurt his family.

“Severus, honey say something.” Hermione said gently.

“I’m free. I’m FREE!” he cried.

Severus jumped to his feet and grabbed his laughing wife in his arms and spun her around. The others looked on and smiled. They had never seen Severus like this. So carefree and happy. It suited him.

“Yes my son, you are free.” Minerva said as she went over and hugged the couple.

“Minerva, I will not be returning to Hogwarts next year.” Severus said.

“I figured you wouldn’t. I have hired Mr. Phillip Donohue to be the new potions master.” Minerva replied.

“He will make a fine teacher. After all, I was his apprentice.” Severus said.

“Now that this mess is behind you, what are your plans?” Sirius asked as they all sat around the living room.

“Severus and I have been talking. We are going to stay here. The village doesn’t have and Apocrathy so, Severus and I are going to open one.” Hermione answered.

“That’s great. Are the kids going to Hogwarts? What are their names anyway?” Harry questioned.

“Their names are Shawn Augustus and Sharon Marie. As for going to Hogwarts, if Minerva can get their names on the list. I would love for our children to go there.” Severus replied.

“As soon as I get back to the school I will personally make sure they are added to the roster. I will be looking foreword to seeing your son and daughter in 11 years.” Minerva replied.

Th six sat and visited for two hours, before leaving Hermione, Severus and the twins alone. That night Severus stood on the patio and watched the stars twinkle from above. Hermione walked up and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Sickle for you thoughts.” she said.

“I never thought I would live to see the day when I was actually free from everything. Voldemort, Albus. I can now just be me. I can watch as our children grow up and grow old with you. That’s all I ever wanted. Ever since the day I realized I loved you. I wanted nothing more than for you and I to grow old together side by side.” he whispered as he held her tight.

“I know love. You and I and our children can now have a peaceful life. Just us and of course our friends. We will open the Apocrathy, teach our children, send them off to Hogwarts, watch them fall in love and marry themselves one day. But we will always be together.” she said.

Severus bent down and kissed her. He poured all the emotions he was feeling into the kiss. Without breaking the kiss, he swept his wife into his arms and carried her to their bed. There he made love to her like it was the first time. Because for them, it was.
