This chapter contains talk about suicide:

Marek stormed out of Prince Manor and started walking down the lane towards the town. His driver was likely scrambling to get the horse hooked up to the carriage in order to pick him up. The man had assumed that it would be a long visit after the first fifteen minutes of waiting and went off to play cards with their drivers. Marek had been too angry to wait for the man, his heart was pounding and his eyes were stinging from tears he refused to shed in public. He heard someone running up behind him and he vowed that even if it was his beloved Zelda that he wouldn’t give in, he wouldn’t take back his curse because she deserved the curse. His arm was grabbed and he was forcefully turned to find big blue eyes looking at him desperately, Zoey’s white-blonde hair was picked up and whipped around in the wind.
“Please” She said “Hear me out”
“I will not be made a fool by your sister” Marek hissed at her.
“And you shouldn’t be” Zoey agreed “But you shouldn’t have to walk away from this house with no wife at all. Marry me, I am young but I am everything that Zelda claimed to be. I am chaste, I am well-read, I play the piano and Zelda never learned, I can paint...” She pleaded with him with her eyes “I can make a good wife for you”
“You fall from the same, rotten tree as Zelda” He hissed at her “And you are just as rotten as her”
“I am not like her at all!” Zoey said almost breathlessly “Just get to know me, you’ll see I am...”
“I was fooled once by you tramps” Marek said as he shoved her so hard that she fell to the ground “I will not be fooled again, now be gone you trollop!”
“I curse you then, Marek Kinnocks” Zoey screamed from her spot kneeling in the dirt “May you live out the rest of your life lonely and unloving and may any of the descendants that may spring from any union you have never find happiness” He stopped walking and turned towards the girl crying in the lane behind him “May they all die before their time until such a time that a Prince should see fit to remove this curse”

Hermione’s eyes snapped open and she looked around the darkened bedroom, her heart was pounding, her hands were clammy and she was soaked with sweat. There was a cold breeze blowing in from one side of the room and Hermione propped herself up on her elbows looking around the room for the source of the breeze. Severus tightened his grip on her and she smiled over at him, he really needed her there, Amelia was in a coma now and Hermione didn’t know if she’ll pull out of it. She laid back down with a sigh and turned on to her side experimentally pressing her bum against his groin to see if he’d wake up. She opened her eyes when she heard him groan and put his hands on her hips pulling her harder against him and his awakening member. She locked eyes with the cold, light blue eyes of the long dead Zoey Prince, she had tears on her face and was shaking her head side to side.
“You’re not done” Zoey spoke in an echoing voice “They’re not broken, we still need you to break them”
“What?” Hermione asked aloud feeling Severus, who’d been in the process of creeping his fingers in to her panties, jump by her loud voice in the quiet house.
“I didn’t say anything” He said.
“Your mother needs you” Zoey spoke and then disappeared.
Hermione looked at the empty space for a few moments longer before she sat up. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and got up much to Severus’s horror and started to get dressed. He sat up and looked at her before calling to Cray, telling him to stay close to Amelia and then started to get dressed as well. He had no clue what had her in such a state that she was unable to tell him what was wrong but he’d follow her to make sure that everything was okay and more importantly, that she was okay. He had a feeling that whatever was going on with her at that moment she was going to need him there with her, when they were both dressed they went outside and she apparated them away.
“Hermione” Severus spoke as he jogged after her “Where are we?”
“My parents house” She answered “One block away...” She stopped momentarily and then took off running as fast as she could, there was a muggle ambulance at her house with the lights flashing and the neighbors all standing around watching “Dad!”
“Hermione?” A tall man with thinning light brown hair came running over to meet his daughter in the middle of the road “What are you doing here?”
“What happened to mum?!” Hermione asked, Peter Granger lowered his head and was having difficulty breathing “Dad...what happened?”
“She...Gayle was here” He said “She was terrible, horrible to your mother... she took a bath, I didn’t know or I would have...”
“What happened?” Hermione demanded, she turned and then let out a small scream when they wheeled out a gurney with a body on it with the sheet pulled over the face “Oh god no, no, no...NO!”
Hermione screamed and would have dropped to the road beneath her had it not been for Severus’s strong arms wrapping around her waist and holding her against him. She screamed as loud as she could and then started crying and begging her father to tell her that her mother was okay. Finally, she gave up and merely buried her face in to Severus’s chest and sobbed uncontrollably while he ran his hand through her hair and made soothing noises in her ear. He pieced together that the grandmother had come over, said some horrible things about or to her mother and then after she left Hermione’s mother killed herself. She was speaking again but other than hearing words like ‘Zoey’ and ‘Curse’ he didn’t understand anything that was coming out of her mouth. It didn’t matter though, he had her and he wouldn’t let anyone or anything harm her while she was in his arms.
“Miss” It was a muggle police officer “Miss, we need you to leave the middle of the road, please”
“I will make sure that she moves” Severus promised.
“We’d like to talk to her and her father as well” The man said “Is this your wife, sir?”
“Girlfriend” He answered as he slowly led her to the house that her father had gone in to.
“What’s your name, sir?” He asked.
“Severus Snape” He said “This is Hermione Granger”
“Mr. Granger” The officer said, as they all sat down (Hermione on Snape’s lap) around the kitchen table “Can you tell me what happened?”
“Janes...” He squeezed his eyes shut “Janes mother came for a visit. She rarely does that, she’s a horrible woman. It’s just come to light that Jane was adopted and Gayle, her ‘mother’, wanted to discuss cutting off anymore ties with her...horrible, evil bitch” Hermione started sobbing even harder and Severus tucked her head under his chin “When she finally left Jane said that she needed to take a bath and be alone for a while, it was just something that she always did”
“How long was she in there before you realized something was wrong?” He asked, making notes in his legal pad.
“About an hour” He answered before breaking down and sobbing again “I went in...I had to break the lock and when I got in there...”He dropped his head down to his arms a complete sobbing mess unable to continue on.
“I’ve got enough” The man said “Miss Granger do you live with your parents?”
“No” She hiccupped.
“She lives with me” Severus answered “Outside of Wiltshire” It was a lie, they weren’t even close to there but that didn’t matter.
“Did your father call you, Miss Granger?” He questioned.
“No” She said, confused by his line of questioning.
“Then how did you know to show up when you did?” The officer was now looking from Hermione who was glaring at him to Severus, dressed in complete black with messed up hair.
“I had a dream” Hermione answered “It was a horrible dream and I had to check on my mother to make sure that she was okay”
“A dream?” The man repeated sarcastically “Are you a psychic, Miss Granger?”
“My mother and I have always had a connection” Hermione answered hotly.
“I think that maybe you’d been here the whole time” This voice came from the entrance to the kitchen and the man, a man who had a large belly, bushy beard and thick red hair walked closer to her accusingly “Maybe you were mad at your mother for not telling her about her adoption”
“Why are you saying this?” Hermione sobbed and Severus, glaring at the man menacingly, pulled her even closer half consoling and half protecting her.
“Above the tub, written in her blood were to words ‘I’m sorry for the secret’ surely you can see why we’re curious”
“The secret was that my wife has been on antidepressants for years” Peter spoke, gaining his composure because of his anger at the questions pointing at his daughter “It was a secret that they weren’t working and she was sad enough to kill herself!” He slammed his hands on the table top “My daughter is a saint”
“Oh really...” The man started but Severus stood up suddenly and pulled out his wand pointing it at one of the men knocking him out cold and then turning towards the other man “What did you just do?!”
“Obliviate” Severus hissed, the mans eyes were hazy and then glazed over completely.
“Why’d you do that?” Peter asked in horror.
“They are trying to say that Hermione killed her own mother” Severus answered as he walked over to the glazed man “I won’t allow that” He looked in to the man’s eyes and spoke very softly and slowly “This was standard call to the house of a woman who committed suicide. She is dead by her own hand leaving a note on the wall in her own blood saying ‘I’m sorry’ and nothing more. The widower is to be left alone and the daughter is to be forgotten about as a suspect altogether” The mans eyes burned brightly for a moment and then dimmed back to their normal color. Severus froze him while he did the same thing to the other man and then unfroze both men and sat back down normal once again.
“I am so sorry for your loss, Mr. Granger” The officers said one by one “Miss. Granger, here is the card of a wonderful grief counselor”
“Thank you” Hermione whispered lowering her eyes. Severus and Hermione stayed with Peter until he went to bed and then made their way back to Prince Manor and walked toward the house.
“I’m cursed” Hermione said, as they walked past the place where Zoey had knelt and cursed Marek “Your curse makes your nerves shake but my curse makes me depressed”
“Depression isn’t a curse” Severus told her “It just feels that way”
“No” She stopped and grabbed his hand turning him to look at her “Zoey cursed Marek the day he cursed Zelda, she wanted him to marry her and tried to convince him that she was what Zelda claimed to be but he told her that she was trollop like her sister and pushed her away and she cursed him saying that neither he nor any of his descendants would ever find happiness until a Prince member lifted the curse”
“Then I revoke the curse” He told her quickly but nothing happened.
“I think it’ll take more than that” Hermione whispered to him, her knees buckled and he caught her, picking her up “Take me to bed please, Severus. I need to go to bed and stay there...forever”
“Then that’s where I’ll be too” Severus told her “Because I won’t leave you alone”
