Chapter 6
Severus froze. He couldn’t believe she was telling him not to stop. Part of him told him to go ahead and finish what they had started. The other part of him told him he needed to stop and get to know her better. It was the second part of him that made him pull away from her and stand up once more.
“I’m sorry Hermione. I can’t do this.” He said.
“Fine. Then just go.” Hermione said evenly, though he saw a flicker of anger and pain flash in her amber eyes as she too got to her feet and walked toward the window.
“Hermione, please let me explain.” He started.
“Don’t. Just leave Professor Snape. Now.” She said forcefully.
He realized she was hurt and angry. He let out a deep sigh as he turned and left the room. Once alone, Hermione sighed sadly as she stared up at the full moon. Ten minutes later she turned out the lights, curled up under her blankets, and fell into a fitful sleep.
************************************************************************
The next morning Severus and Hermione began planning for Monday’s events. Hermione spent most of the day holed up in the library with her advisor, working on her speech for the press conference, and going over what was to happen during the coronation ceremony.
Severus was in meetings all day with the guards to plan out the security measures that would be enforced during the ball as well as for when they reached the Ministry of Magic for the press conference.
Adrienne, noticed the distance between the two. She decided that if things weren’t settled between them by Monday morning, she would step in and do something about it. She knew the two of them belonged together and she was going to make sure that they got together. No matter what.
************************************************************************
Monday morning dawned cloudy and overcast. It matched Severus’s mood perfectly. All weekend to try and get Hermione alone, but with no luck. As he dressed his thoughts were running rampant.
‘I wish I get her to just sit down and talk to me. I really care about her. I don’t know what to do about this.’ He thought.
Knock. Knock.
“Come in.” He called out.
“Hello Severus.” Adrienne said as she walked into the room.
“Hello Adrienne.” He replied.
“Look, I know this is none of my business, but I noticed that this weekend there was a tension between you and Hermione. Why is that?” She asked.
“Friday night I went and talked to her. I told her that I realized I loved her. Then, hell I don’t know what happened. I guess I said or did something she didn’t like and now she won’t talk to me.” He replied as he began pacing.
“Severus, Hermione isn’t some fragile little girl. She never was. If she sees something she wants, she goes for it. Consequences be damned as far as she’s concerned. I suggest, that when we return from the Ministry you talk to her. I can see that you both care for one another. You can’t let your personal fear get in the way. Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith.” She said.
Severus stopped pacing and faced the older witch. He realized she was right. He nodded to her. Adrienne smiled and exited the room. A few moments later he followed her. The two stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting on Hermione. Ten minutes later Severus looked up at the top of the stairs and stopped breathing for a second.
************************************************************************
Hermione wore a set of dress robes made of the finest Champaign colored silk. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun. She was a vision. She walked down the stairs with her shoulders squared back and her head held high.
“You ready dear?” Adrienne asked.
“Yes grandmother. It’s time we take back our kingdom and send a message to Voldemort.” Hermione answered.
Severus helped her into her cloak. The three then apparated from the front hall to the Ministry of Magic. They arrived a few seconds later and were greeted by Roman Treavele.
“Hello your majesties. Everything is set up for the press conference.” He said.
“Thank you Roman. First we have to take care of Cornelius Fudge. We will meet you in the conference room in about half an hour.” Hermione said.
Roman nodded, bowed slightly, then left. Adrienne, Hermione and Severus began making their way toward Cornelius’s office. Ten minutes later they stood outside his door and Hermione knocked.
“Enter!” Cornelius called out.
Hermione opened the door and entered, Adrienne and Severus right behind her. Cornelius looked up from the parchment he was reading, gasped, jumped to his feet and bowed. Hermione just looked down her nose at him.
“Your Majesties! What an honor. Please, have a seat.” Cornelius gushed.
“Thank you Minister. We are here for one reason.” Hermione said.
“How can I help you your Majesty?” He asked.
“You, Cornelius, have run my kingdom into the ground. It is time that things change around here. Starting of course with your position. It’s time you were replaced. You are hereby relieved of your position as Minister of Magic.” Hermione said.
“No! Please your Majesty! I can do better! I swear!” He begged as he dropped to his knees.
“Your sniveling and groveling won’t work on me. You are to pack your things and be out of here by this afternoon. If I here of you coming to the Ministry for something other than business, you will have me to deal with, and trust me, you won’t like it.” Hermione sneered.
Severus watched in wonderment and shock at how commanding Hermione could be. He fell in love with her even more. He smirked slightly as he watched Cornelius slowly nod his head and get to his feet.
“That concludes our business. Remember my words, Cornelius. You are to be gone from here by this afternoon.” Hermione reminded him as she got to her feet.
The three turned and exited the office and made their way down to the conference room. When they arrived, the room was already filling up with reporters and other Ministry officials. Adrienne, Hermione, and Severus took their seats on a raised platform with Roman Treavele.
“You can begin moving your things in tomorrow morning Roman.” Hermione said.
“I will do so first thing. Don’t worry Hermione, we will fix the mistakes that Fudge has made and get everything back on track.” Roman replied.
Hermione nodded. Fifteen minutes later everyone was seated and Adrienne got to her feet and approached the podium to address the crowd that had gathered.
“Thank you all for coming here. Today is a historical day for this British Wizarding world. As you all are aware, my son, Philippe, died in his home a few weeks ago, and a little over a week ago, my daughter and her husband were murdered by Death Eaters.
“Now, my granddaughter, Hermione Granger de Bourbon, will take over the throne. As of half an hour ago, Cornelius Fudge was relieved of his position as Minister of Magic. Succeeding him is Mr. Roman Treavele. At this time I would like to bring up my granddaughter.” Adrienne announced.
Hermione stood up and approached the podium. Once the talking and whispering died down, she spoke.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I will officially be made Queen. Some of you probably believe that I am a muggle born witch. I am not. My mother and father went into hiding in the muggle world for protection against Voldemort. It is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne.
“Now, onto more important issues. It is time that Voldemort realizes that he can no longer control our community. I will see to it that his reign of terror ends, once and for all. By him attacking and killing my parents, he has made a very dangerous enemy in me. I want the Wizarding community to know, his terror will continue no longer. For every innocent person he kills, three of his Death Eaters will die. Now, I will take a few questions.” Hermione said.
“Your Majesty! Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet. What is Professor Severus Snape doing here?” Rita asked.
“Professor Snape is here because he has been appointed my personal body guard for when I return to Hogwarts in September.” Hermione answered.
“Miss de Bourbon! Thomas Lovegood, The Quibbler. Isn’t it true that Professor Snape is a Death Eater?” He asked.
“Mr. Lovegood, Professor Snape is not a Death Eater. He is a spy for our side and is no more a Death Eater than I am.” Hermione answered, anger flashing in her eyes at the question.
Question after question was fired at her and she calmly answered each one. Severus watched on in awe at how well she commanded the room. For someone so young, Hermione sure knew what she was doing. He was very proud of her.
“Thank you for your time and patience. I will see you all tonight at the coronation ball. Thank you.” Hermione said as she stepped away from the podium.
Adrienne, Hermione, Roman, and Severus exited the room and entered a small side chamber. Adrienne turned and faced Hermione and Severus.
“You two go on to the house. I have a few matter to discuss with Roman about this evenings festivities. I will see you later.” Adrienne said.
“Yes grandma.” Hermione replied.
Severus understood now what Adrienne was doing. She was giving him and Hermione a chance to settle whatever was wrong between them. Hermione and Severus nodded to Adrienne and Roman, then headed for the Atrium to apparate back to the castle.
