Chapter 23
The weekend flew by. Hermione and Severus only spoke to each other if they had too. The morning of the battle, Hermione stood at the living room window watching the troops get ready, and thinking.
‘What have I done? I can’t believe how consumed I was. I’ve hurt the only man I will ever love and I doubt he will ever forgive me. I guess the only fair thing to do is release him of his duty once this is over. That way he won’t have to look at me.’ She thought sadly.
“Mione, it’s time.” Harry said as he poked his head into the room.
Hermione nodded. She turned and exited the room. Praying that Severus would survive and be given the chance to move on after the hurt she had caused him.
************************************************************************
Ginny stood with Voldemort. Ten minutes ago, the wards surrounding the mansion had been destroyed. Now, five thousand Death Eaters stood on the grounds, facing an army of ten thousand advancing on the mansion.
“Stay at my side my love. I will protect you and soon, this war will be over and we will be victorious.” Voldemort said.
“I can’t wait.” Ginny smiled, knowing soon, Voldemort and his Death Eaters would be dead and she would be reunited with Draco.
************************************************************************
The fighting began almost immediately. Hermione, Harry, Draco, and Severus made their way through the throng of fighters. Killing Death Eaters as they slowly grew closer and closer to the mansion.
“Look out!” Draco yelled.
Hermione turned and was instantly knocked to the ground by a hex. She grunted as she clutched her arm. A second later she was back on her feet, ignoring the pain and blood flowing down her arm.
“You all right?” Severus asked as he covered her.
“I’m fine! Let’s keep moving!” Hermione ordered.
Fifteen minutes later, the four stood before Voldemort and Ginny. Draco could only stare in shock at the sight of Ginny holding Voldemort’s hand. That was until he met her eyes. He instantly felt her push into his mind and saw her plan. So did Harry, Hermione, and Severus.
“It’s finally come down to this Potter. You and her Majesty will be defeated and your kingdom will belong to me at last.” Voldemort hissed.
“Keep dreaming ass hole! It’s you who will be defeated!” Harry yelled.
Voldemort released Ginny’s hand and approached Harry. The battle echoing around them as Harry and Voldemort both drew their wands. Without warning both yelled the killing curse. Just like in Harry’s fourth year, their wands locked.
“I’m stronger than you! Time to die!” Harry screamed.
“AVADA KEDAVRA!”
“NOOOO!” Voldemort screamed as Ginny yelled the curse.
Catching on, Hermione, Draco, and Severus too yelled the curse. As they kept repeating the curse, Voldemort began growing weaker. Harry pulled out a back up wand and he too yelled the curse. After five minutes of them yelling the curse, Voldemort began glowing green.
“WHAT’S HAPPENING! NOOOOO! I CAN’T BE DEFEATED! NOOOOOOO!”
The five were thrown back ten feet as Voldemort exploded into a billions pieces. Slowly everyone got to their feet. Everyone but Hermione. Severus rushed to her side while Draco, Ginny, and Harry ran to join the fighting.
************************************************************************
“She’ll be fine Adrienne. She was just knocked unconscious and lost quite a bit of blood. I gave her a blood replenishing potion. She should awaken sometime tomorrow. I want her to take it easy for the rest of the week. There’s no doubt she’ll be pretty sore. After all, she was thrown into a stone wall.” Poppy reported to Adrienne, Severus, Harry, Draco, and Ginny.
“Thank you Poppy. I really appreciate this.” Adrienne smiled.
Poppy nodded and left. After Voldemort had been defeated, his Death Eaters were all killed and his mansion was completely demolished. The entire final battle lasted only an hour and a half. The Wizarding world was finally free. Of the ten thousand troops Hermione called, only five were killed. The five were Aurors. Adrienne had already notified the families and arranged for them to have a hero’s funeral.
“I’m relieved she’s going to be all right.” Harry said.
“Yes. Why don’t you three go get some rest. Severus, would you come with me please.” Adrienne requested.
Harry, Ginny, and Draco didn’t need to be told to get some rest twice, they were exhausted. Severus and Adrienne left Hermione’s room and made their way into his. Severus sat on the bed, while Adrienne sat in a chair.
“What are you going to do about her?” Adrienne asked.
“I don’t know. That all depends on her Adrienne. She obviously doesn’t love me otherwise she wouldn’t have said the things she did.” Severus answered angrily.
“My boy, listen to me. I know Hermione. She didn’t mean what she said. I think you and her need to talk about this. Otherwise, you two will BOTH make a mistake you will regret for the rest of your lives.” Adrienne advised.
Severus nodded. Adrienne stood up, patted his shoulder and left the room. Severus stripped out of his robes and laid down to rest. As he drifted off to sleep, he thought about what Adrienne had said.
‘Perhaps there’s still a chance for Hermione and I. I don’t want to loose her. I love her so much.’ He thought sadly.
************************************************************************
A week later Hermione sat on her throne at the celebration ball at Hogwarts. Since the battle, she and Severus hadn’t had a chance to talk. There were interviews, paperwork, and rebuilding. She watched as Severus danced with Minerva. She smiled as she saw Ginny and Draco dancing as well as Harry and Hannah Abbott.
“Care to dance?” Roman asked.
“I’d be honored.” She smiled.
The two moved onto the floor. As they danced, Roman began talking.
“Why don’t you just talk to him?”
“I’m scared Roman. I know I hurt him. How could he ever forgive me for the things I said to him?” She replied sadly.
“Love has a way of working things out. All you two need to do is sit down and talk this out. I suggest you do so now. Severus just left the hall. Go to him.” Roman said.
Hermione nodded. As she left the hall, she drew on every bit of courage she could, cause she knew she was going to need it. She found Severus sitting in the rose gardens, the fresh snow surrounding him.
“Mind if I join you?” She asked.
“You’re the queen.” He answered.
Hermione bowed her head, but went to sit beside him.
“Severus, I know I hurt you and you probably hate me. I’ve decided that if you want to, you are free to leave my service. I don’t blame you after all, why would you want to be around someone you hate.” She said.
“You think I hate you? I could never hate you Hermione. I still love you and I still want to marry you.” He replied.
“What? You…you…still want…to be with me?” She stuttered in shock.
“Yes. I know we both said somethings we didn’t mean that night. Do you think we could just forget about it. I understand now that how you acted that weekend, is just part of who you are. I think I can get used to it.” He answered.
Hermione turned and faced him. Her face broke into a tearful smile as she threw herself into his arms. Severus could only hold her as she began to cry. After several minutes she spoke again.
“Severus, I’m so sorry. I had no idea how bad I was hurting you. I love you so much and I still want to marry you. I never want to loose you again.” She said.
“I love you too and I do want you as my wife. Will you marry me?” He asked.
She nodded enthusiastically as the tears continued to fall. Severus beamed as he pulled out the ring and slid it back onto her finger. They leaned toward each other and kissed tenderly.
************************************************************************
“So, you double crossed Voldemort and he never suspected you? Brilliant.” Draco laughed as he and Ginny danced.
“I thought so myself, that’s why I did it.” Ginny chuckled.
Draco pulled her even closer as they kept dancing. Just then, Ginny looked over his shoulder and saw Hermione and Severus entering the ballroom arm-in-arm, and the 2 carat yellow diamond engagement ring gleaming on her finger.
“Look! Is that what I think it is?” Ginny asked.
“It sure is. Looks like they made up.” Draco beamed.
Hermione and Severus walked right up to the stage. The band stopped playing and everyone turned and faced the couple. Hermione cleared her throat and everyone fell silent.
“First of all, I would like to welcome everyone and thank everyone here who fought bravely in the final battle and helped us win our freedom from Voldemort.” Everyone began clapping and cheering. Once the room fell silent again, she began speaking once more. “I now have some wonderful news. I will let Severus here, make the announcement.”
Severus stepped up to the mic. “The wonderful news her Majesty spoke of is this, Hermione and I are engaged to be married.”
There was silence in the ballroom, but suddenly the room erupted. Everyone began clapping and cheering for the happy couple. Smiling, the couple stepped off the stage. Everyone rushed foreword to congratulate them.
