This is my first attempt to give some well deserved happiness to my favorite couple. First few chapters will only be based on Snape's memories, but then the story will start to develop, so please don't be thrown off too much. Please review and let me know what do you think.
It was over.
He felt blood pouring from the wound caused by Nagini’s bite, but there was no pain. Venom in her fangs killed the nerve endings, and the only thing left was to wait a few more minutes until death took him. He wasn’t scared. After all, he kept his promise to Lily. He kept her son safe from the Dark Lord for all those years and now, after giving him his memories, there was nothing else he could do for him. The boy was ready to face his destiny.
His only regret was that he was never going to see her face again. Her beautiful hazel eyes and that untamed wave of curls falling over her shoulders. Hermione. She grew up so fast. How could she not with the war emerging and taking people she loved one by one? So many gave their lives for the greater good, but she was strong. She survived. She had to. Without her, Harry and Ron would never accomplish anything.
He thought of the first time he saw them in class, and his famous speech. A little glimpse of hope that maybe, just maybe Harry won’t turn out to be like his father, an arrogant bastard that was getting by only on his good looks and popularity. As he looked in the boy’s eyes, he saw nothing. No hope. He’ll have to deal with the same hard headed arrogance as he dealt with when he was a student. Only now, he needed to make sure, the son of his most hated enemy, was going to be safe and grow up to be a powerful wizard. Powerful enough to defeat the Dark Lord. Now, it was finally going to happen.
That was also the first time when he noticed her. His little bushy hair know-it-all that kept raising her hand after every question he asked. She was smart beyond her age, and irritating just as much. Always ready to ask a thousand questions and, if given a chance, debate for hours over any given topic. She would always finish her work first. No matter how difficult the task was, she would always rise to the challenge.
Deep inside, it was giving him real pleasure to watch when she would finish her work early and walked to turn it in, leaving Harry and his dunderhead friend with puzzled expressions on their faces. How in the world would they finish now, without asking for her help? That made him proud beyond words. She was growing to be one of the brightest and most intelligent witches of her time. He was never attached to any student. All of them were the same for him. Just a grey river of average’s struggling to keep up with their classes.
She was different. Always striving to learn something new. That is when he decided to help her, help her learn and grow into this amazing young woman that she is today. Her mind was beautiful. Like a sponge that would absorb anything he’d put into it. Knowing that his personal library had much more valuable information then the one they had in the castle, he would allow her to browse through his books until late in the night.
Without realizing it, he got attached to her more than he ever intended. Even the wards around his private chambers were made to recognize her when she needed to enter. She was the only one that could. In his life, filled with hatred, death and deception, she was the only ray of sunshine he had. He would never dream to have a family. It was impossible. Having any loved ones meant to be vulnerable and he couldn’t afford that. Not again. Not after Lily.
But having this little witch around was almost like having a child of his own, and what a child she was. Smart, witty, curious, determined; she was all that and more. He was happy to be by her side; watch her grow and blossom before his very eyes.
She was one of the reasons he kept his sanity after returning from the summons of the Dark Lord. Many times, he would come back bloody and broken after suffering the Cruciatus curse. The only one who had the power to bring him back to life was Albus, and even he needed to use more and more of his power each time to do so.
After Albus was done patching him up, his body needed some time to rest and heal. His bones would grow back, but his wounds would need to be taken care of to make sure they healed properly. Since there were only few people of the Order who knew of what he was doing, they couldn’t let just anyone to attend him and so, there she was. Watching carefully to make sure his wounds would not open up and changing his bandages every few hours.
His brave little Gryffindor princess. Not scared by the sight of blood, she would stay with him throughout the night. She would be the last person he saw when he drifted off to sleep and the first one when he opened his eyes in the morning. He would wake up just to find her curled up on the armchair by his bed with her head resting on her hands. He knew that she was only getting a few hours of sleep. He couldn’t take seeing her like that. It was not a childhood that she was supposed to have, but there was nothing he could do to change it. Nothing he could offer instead, just a promise that he would keep her safe even if it costs him his life.
