beautiful story, just as 10 years after. Loved every moment, especially the incorporation of the Old Ways. Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing!

“things were so much simpler when we were children. When you were a prat and it could be explained away as adolescence. Now…it’s so much more. It’s intolerance, missing soul fragments, refusal to accept that things change.”

“lavender has accepted my apologies for lying, cheating, and being a lousy husband, but she will never forgive me.”
“And in reality,” said Hermione, “should she?”
“No.”

“Come to think of it, ‘Mione, you put Snape through the most of all of us.”
“He had no choice but to marry me in order to get on my good side,” she said, grinning.

With a brilliant smile, Hermione skated away from Ron, past Ginny and Harry, and took a literal leap of faith from the ice towards her husband. Severus neatly caught her in his arms.
“You took quite a chance there, my dear,” he said, his eyes radiating the love he felt.
“Not really,” said Hermione, “those we love will always catch us…one way or another.”

(nice symbolic ending there)

Hermione never thought of herself as a great beauty, but tonight, she felt beautiful. Tonight, she looked beautiful.
“Don’t sell yourself short, my love,” whispered a familiar voice in her ear, “to your father and me, you have always been beautiful. To Severus, you are and will always be beautiful.”
The other women in the room watched in amazement as the forum of Emma Granger coalesced in front of them. Emma looked young and stunning, dressed in a flowing robe.

Hermione looked at her mother, “How long are you here for?”
“We have tonight. And we will also be there for the births of your children…when you are ready to have them, and we’ll be there when it’s your time to join us.

“Still, the condensed version; treat Hermione right or I will literally haunt you.”
Severus fixed Trevor with a glare, “Of that, Mr. Granger, I have no doubt. Though I am quite more fearful of Mrs. Granger. After all, Hermione is very much like her other, so I’ve been told, which dnot not bode well for me should I fail to treat Hermione well.”

“You clean up fairly well,” stated Remus, “aren’t you afraid Hermione won’t recognize you?”

“The Universe has blessed this couple,” stated Albus, “far beyone mee mere words of the binding ceremony.”

When we next see you, you will be known as Severus Snape and Hermione Granger-Snape and we shall be celebrating.”

(Glad she keeps her name somewhat. Severus isn't changing his name to Severus Snape-Granger? Like Joliot-Curie?)

“Not planning your own wedding, Hermione?” queried Albus as he helped himself from the steaming platter in front of him.
“No sirnswenswered Hermione, “I planned my wedding to Harry and look how THAT turned out.”

“There’s so much,” said Hermione, her voice tinged with awe as she selected a lemon biscuit from the dessert platter, “so much I don’t know about the old ways.”
“The trick,” stated Albus, “is to marry the old ways with the new to advance and grow. "

A rich baritone voice from Hermione’s side began to sing,

Hermione felt a tear roll down her cheek. It wasn’t the apology she missed. She wanted to see if he was different with the soul fragment returned. Perhaps she would find out in the future, perhaps she never would.
“It’s his life,” she said sadly, “I just hope the piece returned helps him find more life than he’s had.”

“Something you wouldn’t understand,” said Hermione, turning to leave, “clearly, you haven’t gotten any brighter since Hogwarts.”

“Sometimes coming clean with the world can result in rejection,” stated Severus, waving his hand over the cauldron, placing his potion in stasis.
“If I came clean to you about something I had done, something like what Ron did, would you reject me?” asked Hermione.
“I would have no business rejecting anyone based on prior mistakes made,” said Severus wryly, “I have made more than my share.”
“Yes, but you have grown and learned.

“I am so glad that you are not obsessed with the details of our joining.”
“I just don’t see the point. The important thing is that we are together. Minerva and Gin will do a lovely job I’m certain.”

All she wanted for Yule was to find Ron and give him back his soul fragment. She didn’t fool herself into thinking that she would get her old friend back. She knew that life had changed them all and would have regardless of the missing fragment. She just wanted the piece he was missing to be replaced, so he could find that part of himself that he had lost.

"Miss Granger has saved me from a multitude of sins, including bitterness.”

“That’s all you have to say, Albus?” said Severus with a glare, “Hermione is given a soul fragment by Sirius Black and all you can say is ‘very interesting’?”

Hermione Granger was a force of nature, and her paramour, Severus Snape, was her opposing force.

(So it was Ron's soul!)

“You were the first,” said Emma Granger, resting her small hand over Severus’, “the first to cry for us. We saw. We saw you running down the street towards our house, pulling off your mask as you approached. We saw you look into the sky at that horrid green sigil. We saw you drop to your knees. We heard you scream the word ‘no’ until your voice was hoarse. And we saw the tears. We didn’t know who you were, not until we were ensconced here and were able to see Hermione. That was when we realized who the man who wept for us was. Tell me Severus, were you weeping for Hermione as well?”

I still like Harry and wish him nothing but the best, but he wasn’t right for Hermione, and Hermione wasn’t meant to be a trophy wife.”

Hermione looked around at the sound of Trevor’s voice and smiled broadly. She jumped to her feet, and letting out a whoop of pure happiness, ran to her father’s arms.
“Daddy!” she cried, “I’ve missed you and mum so much.”

(Ron's soul, is it? He ever had one?)

“You have to dispense of your hatred for Voldemort,” he said quietly, “otherwise you cannot cross.”

“I am harboring a whole new batch of serious dislike right now.”
“As am I,” agreed Hermione, “I can’t believe that I used to have such respect for him.”

“Even if I don’t see my parents, to know that they will spend eternity in a place like this makes my heart full. And because of you, I know what the Summerland is like. I love you so much, Severus Snape.”

“As I understand, in the Christian hell, once you’re there, that’s it. You’re there for eternity.”
“Of course you are,” said Hermione, gently placing a bookmark in her book and closing it.
“Then what do you learn?” asked Severus.
“You learn that you can’t do evil deeds.”
“And once you learn and accept that? What happens then? You’re condemned to torture even after you’ve learned. That hardly seems fair. Eternity is quite a long time, my dear.”

“Miss Brandywine,” he said, shooting a withering look at a pretty 7th year Ravenclaw, “that will be 50 points from Ravenclaw and the next word I hear about the blasted Halloween Dance will equal detention with Filch. Tonight. Am I clear?”

“Of course it is not Dark Magic, Mr. Yearwood,” said Severus, “it is far older than the dark or the light. It simply is.”

“Mick Jagger is a wizard?” asked Hermione.
“Yes, although he dabbled a bit too much in the Dark Arts back in the 1970’s,”

“Hermione, how old ARE you?” she said out loud, “Doodling ‘Hermione Snape’ on a parchment?”

“I wronged you, Hermione. I wronged you by not listening to you, by not accepting that you are a grown woman with her own mind, by hurting your feelings again and again.”
“Yes,” said Hermione, turning around to face Ron, “you did. als also wronged Severus, belittled your sister and her choices, lied to all of us, and did nothing to help Remus

“Yes. And she wants nothing to do with me until I make amends as well. Shit, Hermione, right now, I want nothing to do with me until I at least attempt to clear my slate.”
“There’s not an eraser big enough,” said Hermione, casting a glare at Ron, “you lied. And you called me a whore because of whom I chose to love and because I didn’t live up to your expectations.”

she refused to allow herself any blame in the matter.

Once they stopped thinking of their outing as a date, it became less tense and much more relaxing. Ginny found herself truly enjoying the company of Remus, and Remus found himself captivated by the pretty redhead.

“sixteen year old Ginny settled for what she could get. This Ginny doesn’t settle.”

I mean, you and Severus have loads in common. You both know and love the same subjects – potions, magic, literature, music…but Remus and I…what do WE have in common?”
“You’ll never know until you spend some time together,” stated Hermione, “how do you feel about him?”
“Intrigued,” admitted Ginny, picking up a simple robe and tossing it back down, dismissing it as “boring”, “he’s very nice looking. And he’s been though so much. There’s a lot of depth too him. Oh Hermione,” she wailed, throwing herself dramatically on the sofa, “I am so in over my head.”

“I ended up on my back on a pool table in a pub in New York discovering that his tongue has more uses than merely snipping out sarcastic barbs,”

“I’m just not sure how to behave around Miss Weasley.”
“Try not howling, snuffling, or barking.”

“Why do I come to you for advice?” asked Remus, shaking his head.
“Because the only other options are Albus or Hagrid?”
“That would be it,” agreed Remus.

“A book and a cuppa?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Well, I couldn’t very well say ‘gee Albus, I don’t think I’ll go back to the party because your Potions Master was playing with my nipples earlier and all I want to do is get naked so he can get back t and and we can spend the rest of the night shagging like bunnies in the springtime’ now, could I?”

“All this time, I thought you hated me when I was a child.”
“Yere ere profoundly irritating. Not unlike a grain of sand in an oyster. But eventually, that irritation becomes something beautiful,” stated Severus, kissing a nipple.
“Thank you ever so much for comparing me to calcium carbonate built up as a protection from an irritant,” she said, pulling his head closer to her breasts, “now, please suck a little harder.”

“Hermione’s Cinnamon Rose. Bred 1998 by Severus Snape. In honor of a young woman of enormous talent and courage under fire. May she succeed where others have failed…even though she is an annoying know-it-all and I welcome the peace her departure will bring.”

Have you ever tried to break or cut the stems of the cinnamon rose?”
“No, I haven’t,” said Hermione.
“It’s virtually impossible. Only magic can cut the stems, and only once. Once the stem is cut, it will not allow itself to be cut a second time. That reminded me of you. Once you were wounded, you would not permit them to hurt you a second time. You became stronger.

You were the hope of your generation, not Potter. You were MY hope. The hope that your brilliance would survive and shine on, ushering a new millennium for the wizarding world. You were the underrated one. The forgotten one.
