Chapter 22
Hermione stood on the back porch watching as her army, her Uncle’s army, the Order, Auror’s, the armies of Spain, France, and Switzerland, as well as the Order’s allies train. In less than forty-eight hours, they were going to Voldemort’s mansion. Adrienne stepped up beside her granddaughter.
“Magnificent isn’t it?” Adrienne asked.
“Yes. They are ready. Tonight, I will tell them they have tomorrow off and for them to spend it with their loved ones or whatever it takes for them to be relaxed and completely focused on the battle on Monday.” Hermione answered.
“That is a wise move. Your parents would be very proud of you honey.” Adrienne smiled.
“I hope so. All I care about is defeating Voldemort, rescuing Ginny, and coming out of this with as few losses as possible on our end. As for Voldemort and his Death Eaters, I want them all dead.” Hermione said evilly.
Adrienne just put her arm around Hermione’s shoulders. She had always known her granddaughter had an evil streak, but she had never witnessed it to the extent as she had the past two days. Even Severus gave her a wide berth at times.
“Where’s Severus?” Adrienne questioned.
“He’s with Roman going over the battle plans that have been made. I want Monday to be as perfect as possible. Have our spies been able to give us the exact location of Voldemort’s mansion?” Hermione replied.
“Yes. I have passed the information on to the commanders, as well as Severus, Roman, and Albus.” Adrienne responded.
Hermione just nodded. Adrienne sighed quietly as she stared at Hermione. She turned and returned to the palace. She needed to talk to Severus and now.

Ginny sat with Voldemort amongst the large flower gardens. There were times when Ginny had a hard time believing Voldemort was quite as evil as he truly was. The Wizard was a walking contradiction. Evil and sadistic one moment, sweet and romantic to her the next.
“When should we marry? If you are to be my Queen, I want it done right. There will be an official wedding ceremony. One the likes no one has ever seen.” Voldemort asked.
“How about…the Friday after this war ends. That will give you time to get the ball rolling before the wedding.” Ginny answered with a smile.
Voldemort nodded. Ginny was quite impressed with herself. She was afraid she wouldn’t be very convincing, but she was. No one, not even Lucius, Narcissa, Bella, or Ron suspected anything.
“It shall be done. I will go find Narcissa and Bella. The three of you can begin planning the wedding. Whatever you want my darling, get it. Money is no option.” Voldemort said.
Ginny nodded. He kissed her gently, rose to his feet, and left. Ginny looked to her left and spotted Ron walking toward her. She got to her feet and prepared for a face-off with him. What she got instead, surprised her.
“I’m glad you have come to your senses Ginny.” Ron said with a smile.
“Oh?” Ginny asked.
“Yes. I was afraid you would still be following Potter and Granger’s foolish idea, that our Lord would and could be defeated and then you would be killed.” He answered.
“Well, our Lord has helped me see the light dear brother. Once the light is defeated, I will make sure that you, Lucius, Narcissa, and Bella get what you deserve.” She smiled.
Ron nodded. Just then, Narcissa and Bella came walking up. Ron bowed to them and left. The three women re-entered the mansion and headed for the study where they would begin planning for the wedding of Ginny and Voldemort. The whole time, Ginny prayed that Hermione and the Light succeeded and defeated Voldemort once and for all.
************************************************************************
Hermione sat in the library going over the maps and battle plans. The troops had been dismissed and weren’t due back at the palace until five the next evening. Severus walked in and studied his fiancee. He saw immediately what Adrienne had meant. The past two days, all Hermione cared about was the battle. She barely took time to shower and eat. Let alone anything else.
“Hermione.” He said.
“What?” She asked.
“You and I need to have a talk.” He said.
“So talk.” She replied as she put aside one piece of parchment, only to pick up another one.
“Could you stop going over the battle plans? Everything is set and everyone is ready.” He requested.
Hermione sighed, but did as he requested. Severus walked over, took her hands, pulled her to her feet and led her over to the sofa. This was the closest they had been since the evening her proposed.
“Look, I’m worried about you. So is Adrienne. You’re being consumed by the upcoming battle. I know how important this is, but you can’t forget to live as well. If you let your anger and lust to defeat Voldemort swallow you, it will destroy you. Then what will it matter if you win or not?” Severus asked.
“What do you know about this? Do you have any idea what it’s like to be the one person that everyone looks to for strength and support? To be a leader of an entire community that has paced their faith wholeheartedly on your shoulders?” She yelled as she jumped to her feet.
“No I don’t, but I do know what it’s like to have your emotions and duties consume you to the point that you are blinded to everything else around you!” He countered as he too got to his feet.
“Severus, this isn’t some game! I am responsible for the lives of over ten thousand men and woman! One mistake on my part and they are dead! Then I have to tell their families they died because I miscalculated something or I missed something vital!” She screamed.
By now Adrienne, Livia, Aramanno, and Albus had appeared in the doorway of the study, watching the fight begin to escalate.
“What about me Hermione! Damnit! Do I mean anything to you or was I just some good fuck to you! Someone to pass the time with until you grew bored!” Severus roared.
“Oh yeah! That’s all you are to me! If that’s all you are, I wouldn’t have accepted this now would I!” Hermione yelled back as she held up her left hand.
“Then what about me! We haven’t spent so much as two seconds alone together since everyone got here! I would like to spend some time with you before I go running off into a battle where I might not return!” He screamed.
“You know I can’t just drop everything just because you get a hard-on!” She cried.
“If that’s how you feel, then so be it. THE ENGAGEMENT IS OFF!” He hollared.
Hermione’s eyes narrowed and hardened like diamonds. The group at the door watched in shock as Hermione took off the engagement ring and threw it at Severus. The ring collided with his forehead, nicking him over his right eyebrow. Hermione then spun on her heel and left through the south door, slamming it behind her.
************************************************************************
“Draco, you all right?” Harry asked as he sat beside Draco in the empty Gryffindor common room.
“I’m worried about Ginny. Not to mention Severus and Hermione.” Draco answered.
“Ginny will be fine. What do you mean about Mione and Severus?” Harry questioned.
“I got a letter from Severus this morning. He says, Hermione has become withdrawn from everyone and everything that isn’t related to the planning of the attack. Including him.” Draco sighed as he stared out the window.
“Draco, you’ve seen Hermione during test time. It’s no different. She will be back to her normal self once the battle and war are over. You’ll see.” Harry offered with a smile.
“I hope so. For Severus’s sake. God knows the man deserves something bright in his life.” Draco said.
************************************************************************
“You and the Dark Lord’s wedding will be beautiful Ginny. Narcissa and I swear it will be perfect.” Bella said.
“I’m sure it will be. Now, we have picked the colors, the dress robes for the men and women, my dress, his robes, that only leaves his grooms men and best man, and my brides maids and Maid or matron of honor.” Ginny replied as she went over her check list.
“I will have all the female Death Eaters come over tomorrow so you can narrow the field. Perhaps, I could speak to the Dark Lord about his grooms men and Best Man.” Narcissa offered helpfully.
“That will be wonderful. Thank you. Now, let’s call it a day. I’m tired and it sounds as if I will have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.” Ginny replied.
The three women put their books and lists away and headed upstairs to their rooms. Once alone, Ginny changed for bed and stood at her balcony, gazing at the stars.
“I love you Draco. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you again soon.” She whispered at the twinkling orbs in the raven black sky.
