A Marriage Made in Heaven…or Hell. Depending on Who You Ask

Chapter 10

“Severus, stop fidgeting with your robes. Everything is going to be fine,” Valencia scolded as she swatted Severus’s hands away from his frock coat buttons.

“Valencia is right. You and Hermione have nothing to worry about,” Jennifer added.

Severus’s parents and Jennifer were standing outside the courtroom with Hermione and Severus. Standing down the hall a bit was Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, who were wearing triumphant looks, as if they had already won the court case.

“I can’t help it. I know Lucius, he will be using my past as a Death Eater to try and win,” Severus said as he began pacing.

“Son, everyone in the Wizarding world knows your story. Every detail, everything you did as a Death Eater and a spy is public record. Nothing Lucius says will be new,” Roman replied as he placed a calming hand on his son’s shoulder.

Fifteen minutes later, the fiver were seated and waiting for the trial to begin. “This session of the Wizengamot is now in session. We are here because Lucius Malfoy is contesting the marriage of Severus Snape and Hermione Granger Snape. The court will hear from Mr. Malfoy first,” the judge said.

Lucius made his way up to the stand. After being sworn in, he began his testimony.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am here because I feel Miss Granger may have been coerced into her marriage to Severus. As a young Death Eaters, he was not above using potions, spells, or other methods of persuasion to get what he wanted. Especially from women. Miss Granger is young enough to be his daughter. I fear for the young woman’s safety. Many a women, both witches and muggles, have been harmed under his hand. She would be better suited with my son and the protection that my family could offer her,” Lucius said.

“Is that all Mr. Malfoy?” the judge asked. Lucius nodded.

“Very well. Mr. Snape, will you please take the stand,” the judge replied.

Severus made his way to the stand. After he was sworn in, he began his own testimony.

“Everyone here knows the things I did before and after I became a spy, as does my wife. I am not happy with the things I have done in my past and have spent the past twenty years doing my best to make up for those deeds. There was no coercion on Hermione. She made her choice of her own free will. All I did was talk to her about her options as did Albus Dumbledore. I love my wife and when she chose me, I was elated. I would never harm her and she knows with me, she is safe and free to pursue anything she wishes once her time at Hogwarts has ended,” Severus said.

“Thank you Mr. Snape. The court will now hear from Mrs. Snape,” the judge said.

Hermione gently brushed her hand against Severus’s cheek as she made her way to the stand to be sworn in. She kept her head high as she began her side of things. Knowing that it would be her testimony, that would be the deciding factor.

“Ladies and gentlemen, everything Lucius Malfoy said about Severus is true, but we all know this. As a young man he was impulsive, rebellious, and made mistakes. Mistakes he has tried to make right. He is the man he is now because of what he has learned from those very mistakes. He became a spy and helped saved thousands of lives during the war. He didn’t persuade me. He loves me and I love him. We discovered we had fallen for each other yet never knew it until two weeks ago. When we married, we were friends, but now, we are so much more. I chose him because I knew I would be safe. Lucius would have killed me the second I gave birth to the second child. After all, I helped kill Lord Voldemort, his former master. I want to stay with Severus. Plus, I am currently carrying the next Snape heir,” she explained.

The court fell silent. Severus’s eyes were wide at the announcement she had just made.

The judge cleared his throat and began to speak again, “Mrs. Snape, would you object for a medi-witch to confirm your pregnancy before the court?” he asked.

Hermione nodded her consent. A medi-witch arrived a few moments later. There, in front of the Wizengamot, it was confirmed. Hermione was pregnant. The court began speaking at once as Hermione returned to her seat.

“Silence! Those in favor of annulling this marriage and allowing Mrs. Snape to be married to Mr. Draco Malfoy, raise you hands,”

Hermione and Severus held hands and waited.

“Those in favor of allowing the Snapes to remain married,” After a few minutes of silence, the judge spoke once more. “The court rules in favor of Hermione and Severus Snape. Congratulations on your upcoming parenthood,” the judge smiled.

The Snape family and Jennifer began laughing and hugging one another happily. Lucius on the other hand was furious, Without thinking, he jumped to his feet, his wand drawn and pointed straight at Severus.

“You’ll pay for this you son of a bitch! She will be Draco’s wife! Avada…”

He was instantly tackled to the ground by five Aurors.

“You are under arrest for attempting to kill Severus Snape. You are sentenced to the Dementor’s Kiss!” the judge roared.

“NOOOO!” Narcissa screamed.

“I hope everything went well at the hearing,” Ginny said as she and Harry sat down at lunch.

“They wouldn’t separate Hermione and the Professor. Those two love each other and belong together,” Harry replied in a comforting tone.

Just then, Severus and Hermione entered the Great Hall and sat at the staff table. Hermione waved to the Potters while Severus told Albus and Minerva about what happened.

“I thought you said your father would win,” Pansy hissed.

“I was sure he would,” Draco replied. As he watched the couple, doubt began to creep into his mind. ‘Could it be that mother and father were wrong about halfbloods and muggle borns? Snape is a pureblood and he looks genuinely happy with Granger. Plus, she’s top of the class and smarter than most purebloods,’ he thought in confusion.
