Fighting For True Love

Chapter 14- Visions

It was three days after the wedding. Hermione and Severus were the happiest they had ever been. Hermione was sitting in her Transfiguration class when her vision suddenly blurred before her. Everyone around her didn’t notice, but Minerva did.

*Hermione’s Vision*

Hermione suddenly found herself in her and Severus’s chambers. Their sitting room to be precise. There was Severus sitting at his desk grading papers. Suddenly a man in a Death Eater robe appeared.

“Time to die Severus!” the man hissed.

“I think not.” replied Severus.

Severus quickly turned the desk over and ran. The Death Eater was stunned for a moment but quickly followed Severus. Severus had just reached the door leading out of his class room when he felt a searing pain in his back and fell to the floor.

“See you in hell. BROTHER.” the man hissed and vanished.

*End Hermione’s Vision*

Hermione gasped as she sat up straight. The rest of the class just stared at her in shock.

“Miss Granger, are you all right?” Minerva asked worriedly.

“N…no. I...I have to go. May I be excused?” Hermione stuttered.

Minerva nodded. Hermione gathered her things and ran from the room. Draco exchanged a worried glance with Minerva. They both knew that something was wrong but couldn’t do anything at the moment. Hermione ran as fast as she could to Albus’s office. She blurted the password and ran in without knocking. She found Albus talking with Lucius and Sirius.

“Hermione? What is it child?” Lucius asked as he rushed to her side.

“I…I saw…Severus. He was attacked in his office. He…he was grading papers…and a Deatheater appeared. He said it was time to die. Severus turned his desk over and ran. The man followed him. He was almost out of his classroom when the man stabbed him in the back. Severus fell to the floor and then everything went black.” Hermione explained.

“Everything went black? You mean you had a vision?” Sirius asked.

“Yes. I was in Transfiguration class when it happened.” Hermione answered.

“It seems it has begun sooner than I figured. Lucius, you come with me and Hermione. Sirius, go fetch Poppy and Remus. We will need their help. Now, how clear was your vision Hermione?” Albus said.

“It was as if I was there in the room. I could hear, smell and feel everything that was going on in the room.” Hermione replied.

“We must hurry. Let’s go.” Albus said.

Hermione and Lucius ran with Albus down to the dungeons while Sirius went to get Poppy and Remus. The trio quickly reached Severus and Hermione’s chambers. The three pulled out their wands and quietly entered the rooms. The sight before them was awful.

Severus’s large desk was on its side. Papers, books and quills scattered all over the room. Hermione gasped at the sight. They quietly made their way to the classroom. Hermione fearing what they would find there. They had no sooner entered the room when Hermione gasped and dropped her wand.

“Severus!” Hermione cried as she ran for her husband’s unmoving body.

“Severus, can you hear me? Please be alive. Please.” Hermione whispered as she knelt beside him.

“Don’t move him. We need to wait for Poppy Hermione.” Albus instructed.

Lucius checked for a pulse.

“He’s alive Hermione. His pulse is good and he is breathing.” Lucius said.

Just then Poppy, Remus and Sirius entered the classroom. Poppy was at his side in a flash working on the deep wound in his back. Lucius gathered Hermione into his arms and moved her over to Remus and Sirius.

“How did you know where he was?” Remus asked.

“We didn’t. Hermione did. It seems that things are progressing sooner than we planned.” Sirius answered.

“That’s good isn’t it?” Remus asked.

“What…what are you guys talking about?” Hermione asked.

“My dear that is something that Albus should explain to both you and Severus.” Lucius answered.

Just then Poppy spoke up.

“Severus is going to be fine. Now, let’s get him to the infirmary so he can get some rest.” Poppy said.

Remus and Sirius helped move Severus while Lucius and Albus helped Hermione. Luckily the students were still in class and the hospital wing was empty. Gently Severus was placed on a cot and Poppy left to get something that would revive him. Hermione sat in a chair and held his left hand. Poppy returned and gave Severus an awakening potion. A few seconds later Severus was blinking his eyes in confusion.

“W…where am I?” he asked.

“Sshh. You’re in the hospital wing. Can you tell us what happened?” Lucius asked.

“I…I was grading papers when suddenly Goyle Sr. showed up. He told me it was time to die. I said I think not. I turned my desk over and ran. I had just made it to the door leading to the hall from my classroom when I felt a searing pain in my back and everything went black.” Severus answered.

“Just like my vision.” Hermione whispered.

“Vision? What vision Hermione?” Severus asked.

“Let me explain Severus. At your wedding, when I told you could kiss your bride something happened. Something that I have only seen a few times in my life, three to be exact. You and Hermione were surrounded by a golden light. When this happens it means the couple is soul mates. Now, the color is the most interesting.

“When soul mates marry there are five colors that will surround them. The lowest level is purple. The next one is yellow, the third is blue. The fourth is white and the fifth highest level is gold. That was the color that surrounded the two of you.

“Now, when that happens the two of you will receive special gifts. These gifts very with each couple. Hermione has received the gift of visions if you are in danger. What other gifts you two have received I don’t know. We will just have to wait till they present themselves.” Albus explained.

“Wow. This is too much.” Severus whispered.

“So, you mean if Severus is ever in trouble or hurt I can see what happens and where he is?” Hermione asked.

“Yes.” Albus answered.

Severus and Hermione looked at each other. They both had the same expression on their faces. Shock.

“When can I be released?” Severus asked.

“I want you to stay here at least until dinner and get some rest. Then you are free to go at dinner. Okay.” Poppy replied.

“All right.” Severus sighed.

“Hermione, do you have any other classes?” Albus asked.

“No sir. Transfiguration was my last on for today.” Hermione said.

“Then you stay here with Severus. And Severus my boy.” Albus said.

“Yes?” Severus asked.

“Do actually try to get some rest while you’re here.” Albus answered.

The others laughed at the scowl on Severus’s face. It was no secret that the man hated being in the hospital wing. Everyone left the husband and wife alone as they returned to their classes and what not.

“So, soul mates huh?” Severus said with a grin.

“Yeah. It’s strange. When I had that vision in Minerva’s class I was so afraid. And when we found you. I just hoped that you were still alive and that we weren’t too late.” Hermione said.

“Hey, it’s all right. I’m safe. If it hadn’t been for your vision I might not be here.” Severus said as he cupped her face gently.

Hermione sat on the bed and Severus gathered his wife tightly into his arms. They laid on the bed and fell asleep. Twenty minutes later Poppy came in to check on him and smile at the two curled up in each other’s arms. She smiled as she drew the curtains around the bed close and quietly exited the room.
