Chapter One
"WHAT?" she screamed, jumping up. She looked first at Snape, and then Dumbledore. "You've got to be joking, Professor," she mumbled something to herself, and then stopped to face her teacher. "Please, say that you are pulling my leg."
Snape shook his head. "When you kissed me did you not feel something, something powerful?"
Hermione could only stare, nodding her head once in answer to his question.
"Since that kiss and the effects of it, the light that encircled us, was witnessed by a number of others in the Great Hall. Some of them, mostly staff, know what it means. According to Ancient Wizarding Law, we are now officially engaged."
"No!" Hermione tried to focus on her breathing, tried to keep it even.
"If there had been no witnesses to it, we could have kept it secret for a time, but eventually it would have become known," Snape said resigning himself to the situation.
"I need to sit down," she said.
Looking down at her hands she finally noticed a rune that seemed branded on her right palm. "Headmaster, there is a...Look!" turning her palm up to him.
"Hmmm, quite interesting. Tell me Miss Granger, do you know what this particular Rune means?"
"It's the Laguz or water Rune, Professor. It means flow or water, a fertility source, also healing power. Life energy and growth.
Dreams, fantasies, mysteries, the unknown, the hidden, the deep, the underworld."
"Correct, Miss Granger. It seems that your role in this 'marriage' has been shown to you through that rune," he said.
"Severus, I assume you are similarly marked?" inquired the Headmaster.
Snape looked down at his right hand it too, was marked with a rune. "Yes, Albus," he said turning his hand over to show him the rune on his palm.
Dumbledore looked thoughtfully at the marking on his Potions Master's palm. "Algiz, protection. Defence, warding off evil. Guardian. A connection with the gods an awakening, higher life. This is indeed interesting, Severus."
"I will have to do some research on this and see if I can find any historical precedence in this type of ancient binding," the Headmaster said thoughtfully. "In the meantime, Severus, Miss Granger, I believe you both have much to discuss."
She followed Snape to his office and from there to his sitting room. The whole situation felt surreal to her, today was her birthday she should be celebrating with her friends. Instead, she found herself 'engaged' to her potions professor! She took in her surroundings, admiring the huge portrait that hung above the mantelpiece. It showed a magnificent landscape - green meadow, soft hills in the background, a small lake in the foreground, and a deep forest on one side. But the most fascinating thing was the witch sitting on a rock near the lake. She was brushing her long, golden hair, and humming quietly. The woman was beautiful - probably the most beautiful being she had ever seen. “She is Mother Nature impersonated everyone sees her differently.”
He took a vial from a shelf on the side of the fireplace, “Here, drink this.”
She took the vial, but didn't drink the potion. "What is that?"
"Calming Potion. I insist," he added when she opened her mouth.
Glaring at him, Hermione downed the vial in one gulp and immediately started coughing. Snape merely rolled his eyes.
"Sit down."
Now it was her turn to roll her eyes. He would be good at playing Simon Says, she thought, almost giggling like a fool. God, what did he put into that potion?
"Miss Granger, have you thought yet what you are going to tell you family and your 'friends'?" Snape said.
"No, Professor I haven’t thought that far ahead yet. Oh Gods...I can just imagine how Harry and Ron are going to react to this! My parents, they won't understand at all. Perhaps I shouldn't tell my parents until after I graduate or perhaps it would be best to tell them soon this way they have till I graduate to accept that I'm going to be married."
"Miss Granger, Hermione," she turned her head quickly, shocked that he used her given name, "I don't think you understand the situation. According to law we have until the next full moon to have the binding rites performed."
Hermione was speechless, her jaw almost hanging to the floor. Snape looked at her raising his eyebrow thinking he'd never see the day the little know it all would be shocked to silence. "Hermione, close your mouth before something flies into it."
"Pr...Professor..."
"I believe, since we will soon be bound, it would appropriate that you use my given name when we are alone," he said.
"Se...Severus...the next full moon is only..."
"Yes it's only 20 days away. I am well aware," he said snidely. He watched as the blood drained from her face, absorbing the fact that she would, sooner then she thought, be his wife. 'Wife' he thought, 'and one chosen for him by the Ancients' why was his life always so complicated.
(A/N) Yes I know it's short. Sorry I'm working on the next chapter and hopefully it will be longer. This just seemed to be a good place to end this chapter. I want to say everyone who reviewed KIller Kodoogan, SlytherinGryffindor21, Pam, Sorcess Fujin, Bree, Lady Voldemort, Donavon, Melissa, Rose Evans, Nedge101, Library Girl, Experience My Dreams and Bobbie thanks for the encouragement. I was a bit hesitant to begin this as I've not written anything in years. Your wonderful reviews bolstered my muse and kept me going!
. Thanks!!!
