Chapter 2 (The Engagement)
After their little talk, Severus sent in an engagement announcement to the ministry and got it back the next day at breakfast, along with a copy of the Daily Prophet, the newspaper that keeps track of all of the engagements happening in the wizarding world, and also other important and not so important news taking place in the world they live in.
Severus looked toward the Gryffindor table and noticed that Hermione, his new fiance, had gotten mail as well. \'Probably some mail from home and a Ministry letter\', he thought to himself. He also noticed that she got a copy of today\'s Daily Prophet, the same Prophet he had gotten. He couldn\'t wait for the annoying Potter and Weasley to read over her shoulder and notice an announcement about their engagemenet.
“Congratulations, Severus. I\'m pleased to find that you will no longer be a lone Bachelor all your life.” A cheery voice said next to him. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, was peering over his shoulder, reading the annoncement from the Ministry. “And who is the lucky lady?”
\'Here it comes, the judgement\', Severus thought to himself. Taking a deep breath, Severus looked at the Gryffindor table and said, “Hermione Granger is the lady I’m going to marry.” When no explosion came, Severus chanced a look at Albus and gave a huge sigh of relief.
Albus had a twinkly smile on his face. \"Congratulations again Severus. Saving Miss Granger from a terrible fate. What with all the other unsavory company in the world. Draco and Lucius Malfoy for one. I\'m sure, though, that there will be some retaliation from that family when they learn that the strongest witch in Hogwarts is now going to marry you, a known ex-Death Eater.\" Albus reiterated to Severus, who was now looking at his new fiance and thought that he\'d never been as happy as he was right now.
At the Gryffindor table, Harry and Ron were just reading the Daily Prophet that they had filtched from Hermione when they were reading the Engagement anouncements. There was a huge \"explosion\" when they read about Hermione\'s engagement to Snape.
\"WHAT!!! HERMIONE\'S GOING TO MARRY SNAPE?!! Hermione, how could you do this to us? To marry the man who I hate with a passion! I can\'t believe you\'re marrying the Greasy Git! I thought that you were going to marry R--\" Harry exploded and was about to say something else but Hermione interupted.
\"Marry Ron, perhaps? I know about all the little things you keep telling me about Ron and the way you always want to put me together with him. But Harry, you don\'t have the right to tell me who I could or couldn\'t marry. I know you have my best interest at heart, but have you once considered, for once, that I could actually want to marry Professor Snape?\" She looked around at the faces of her friends and sighed a sigh of regret. \"I just want you guys to know that I wanted to be your friend forever but if the man I\'m going to marry comes between us, then our friendship wasn\'t very strong was it?\"
The looks on both of the boys\' faces could only be described as shock when, after one long sorrowful look, Hermione gathered her things with a muttered \"Going to the library to study before class.\" Harry and Ron both exchanged looks before finishing their breakfast.
Severus watched the whole scene between Hermione and the boys and he wanted to cry for her. He didn\'t know if there were any way he could make up for the rift he had caused, unintentionally, between the Golden Trio. He didn\'t want to be the cause of Hermione\'s heartbreak of her friendship breaking up.
\"I wish that they wouldn\'t be so judgemental Albus. Just because she chose someone other then the one they had picked out doesn\'t mean they could just stop being her friend.\" Severus told Albus, worried that he had indeed been the cause of the rift between the three friends.
\"I understand Severus. If you want to go and talk to her, you can. I believe she went to the library.\" Albus said to Severus, knowing that the younger man would want to know where his fiance went.
\"Thank you Albus. I do believe that you are correct that I would want to go,\" With that, Severus walked out of the Great Hall via the Staff enterance.

Finding Hermione in the Library was relatively easy, considering all the books piled on one table. Walking up to it uncertainly, unsure of his reception.
\"Hermione? Are you alright?\" Severus asked, hoping to get a good answer.
\"Severus? What are you doing here?\" Hermione looked confused as she stood up to look at him. \"I guess that is a stupid question. You\'re looking for me aren\'t you?\"
\"Yeah. I guess I was looking for me. You didn\'t answer my question, Hermione. Are you alright?\" He asked again.
\"I\'m fine, just miserable. I told them that they had no right to tell me whom I can marry but they didn\'t believe me. Now I\'m just plain miserable.\" Hermione said, dejected beyond anything she had felt before.
\"I\'m sorry.\" Severus told her, trying to comfort but not knowing how. \"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Other than jinx them off the face of the planet?\" The last part was said as a way to try to make her smile.
The smile he got back was a watery kind of smile but a smile nonetheless. \"That won\'t be necessary, but thank you.\" Hermione thanked him.
