Luna and Ginny sat in the bright sitting room with Draco, Harry, Ron and Parvati waiting for Hermione to rejoin them as she’d just gone to make sure that Cray remembered that Parvati was allergic to nuts so to make sure that he hadn’t put any in the food. It had been a month since the shocking death of Hermione’s mother and the death of Severus’s great-aunt. While Hermione wasn’t by any means making some huge steps to getting better but she wasn’t down-sliding at all. Severus had hired Luna to stay with Hermione during the week to make sure that she didn’t do anything stupid while he was working. Most times he came home after his last class to have her help him with his grading and to stay with her so Luna could have some semblance of a normal life.
“There we go” Hermione said “He remembered but I just feel better checking on it”
“I appreciate it” Parvati said, putting her hand on her still flat belly with a smile “I don’t want to do anything to mess up this pregnancy”
“I cannot wait to be an aunty” Hermione said with a smile.
“Maybe soon you’ll be a mommy” Ginny said while Ron and Harry made gagging noises.
“It could happen” Ginny said with a smirk “She and Snape have told one another that they love each other, that’s what broke the curse after all...has anything helped with the other curse?”
“No” Hermione said, looking at her hands as tears sprang to her eyes “It’s so weird, I’ve always been a little depressed and I’ve known it. When I was a teenager I assumed it was the imbalance in my hormones that happens to us all and after the war I thought it was that but it has increased by a hundred since my mothers death” She noisily wiped the back of her hand under her nose “There are days when...”
“When what?” Harry asked as he moved closer to his best friend “When what, Hermione?”
“There are days when I don’t want to get out of bed” Hermione told them “Days when my heart feels so empty and I just want to...I just want to hurt myself, to cut myself and make sure that I’m still alive and still human because surely I am not”
“Hermione” Draco moved across the room to sit on her other side and pulled her against his side “I know how you feel, I felt the same way when my father died...he wasn’t the most loving man but he was still my dad”
“I want this damn curse lifted” Hermione said “But I honestly don’t think it’ll make any difference, so what’s the use?”
“That’s the curse talking” Luna said “You know it and we do too. It’s why we’re all looking for a cure for it and not just Snape...he said he tried to revoke it but that it did nothing”
“Yeah” She shrugged “When I said the words ‘I revoke the curse’ it didn’t lift it all the way but it removed something from it. Severus’s hands stopped shaking and the house seemed to sigh in relief and become a little lighter, nothing like it is now, but lighter all the same”
“What happened when he said it?” Ron asked.
“Nothing” Hermione answered “Nothing at all”
“I hate the thought of you with that great bat” Ron said with a small face “But lets look at all the facts about his curse versus your curse”
“What do you mean?” She asked, looking at Ron in shock, usually he was the one that sat back and let everyone else do the hard work.
“Hermione, you’re the descendant of this Marek guy, right?” He asked “And you were able to take some of the curse by saying that you revoked the curse but it didn’t work for him” She nodded “Then you guys say ‘I love you’ to each other and it fully broke the curse on him”
“We know that” Harry said looking at the red head with a frown.
“His family’s curse was put in to place until they were able to make someone love them, no matter how they looked” Luna said “But she broke part of it because of who she was...”
“The second part was broken because she was honestly in love with him” Parvati said, as she looked around the room.
“What if he isn’t to break the curse” Ginny said more to herself then to the rest of them “Zoey put the curse on Marek and sure she said that it will stay in place until a Prince sees fit to remove it but it was a highly personal curse...highly personal curses can usually only but lifted by the person who put out the curse”
“So it’s impossible” Hermione wailed, pulling her knees up to her chest and slamming her face in to them as she sobbed “Zoey’s dead!”
“But not gone” Draco said “Dead but not gone”
“What do you mean?” Hermione asked, looking at him through her bangs “And more than that...why wouldn’t the curse break when she died?”
“Curses aren’t like spells” Luna explained “Spells are held in spot by our magical cores so when the core dies so doesn’t the spell. When a curse as strong as the one on Snape’s family and on your family is put in place a huge amount of magic holds it to the line even after death, the angrier or more hurt the person was when the curse was summoned then the stronger it becomes”
“But Zoey’s dead” Hermione reminded them.
“But not gone” Draco said again.
“You’ve already said that!” Hermione roared “Now what the hell does it mean?!”
“I’ve never met anyone cursed like you and Snape” Draco told her “But there are books that talk about when a witch or wizard has placed a strong enough curse that only they can lift they are unable to find peace in death until they are given reason to lift the curse” He watched them closely for a few seconds before continuing “You said that you saw Zoey the night your mother...passed away, that she told you that your mother needed you...she is still here then and could help you”
“But how?” Hermione asked.
“Maybe you simply need to ask” Luna suggested.

Severus took off his reading glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose and looked over at Hermione who was sleeping fitfully next to him. She was mumbling to herself and tossing and turning, he would try to wake her if he thought that it would work but she’d just thank him, tell him that she loved him and fall back in to the same nightmare. Dreamless sleep potions could only be used three days on and three days off or else she’d end up addicted to the potion and that was a hard one to kick. He’d been monitoring her intake of potions very closely, he felt bad but when he left he placed severely complex charms over the potions lab, potions stores and all the knife drawers and muggle scissors they had. He knew that Miss Lovegood was there with her but even she had to go to the bathroom every once in a while and that would be the time that Hermione would harm herself.
He reached over and gently placed his hand on her shoulder and watched her breathe a sigh of relief and calm down from her nightmare. Draco had left a note for him in his study explaining his talk with her and their friends and what they’d come up with. He was curious if it would work but at this point he wasn’t going to argue with anyone about any of their plans. He put aside his grading and used his wand to turn out the lights as he laid down and pulled Hermione against him. She turned and buried her face in to his chest and calmed herself down, he ran his fingers through her curls as he slowly fell asleep himself as they cuddled.
Hermione awoke the next morning being completely wrapped up in Severus’s arms. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, the frost on the windows made beautiful little designs, the snowflakes that were falling from the sky were huge and the blanket of white was inviting her to come out and play. It was a strange feeling that she had inside right now, she was still sad but having Severus with her made her feel happier and stronger...and playful. Turning, she shook the man lying next to her awake with a big grin on her face, if she was happy today then damn it she would take advantage of it.
“What’s the matter?” He mumbled, he was blinking rapidly and looking around the empty bedroom for an attacker.
“Let’s go outside” She said “Come on, it’ll be so much fun...please?”
“It’s cold” He pointed out “Hermione, it’s December”
“I know, Severus” She scoffed as she popped up out of the bed and pull out some different items of warm clothes “I’m not stupid, come on...it’ll be fun” She pouted.
“Fine” He said “Fine, let’s go outside and catch the flu...I can’t think of anything that sounds more interesting to do”
“That’s the spirit!” Hermione sang out happily.
When they got outside the wind greeted them as it icily whipped around them. Cray had been out earlier and charmed all the snow in the walkway to the woods so they could come and go with very little trouble. Severus was just admiring the beautiful wintery landscape when he was hit in the back of the head with a snowball flung at him by Hermione. She gave him a devilish grin and then took off in to the deep snow that came up to her knees, he followed her in and watched her every movement. When she slowed down he pounced knocking her over, he tickled her for a few minutes while she fought him and picked up snow to throw at him. When she managed to knock him over he rolled on his side and then slid down a small hill, with a scream of delight she followed suit and joined him at the bottom of the hill lying next to him. He lifted himself up after a moment and leaned over and kissed her happily, she was so beautiful and he was lucky enough to attract her which still shocked him.
“Marry me” He said suddenly, surprising himself as well as her “I mean...”
“Yes” She said “I’d love to”

“Do you see their happiness?” Draco asked Zoey from the third-floor window where he and the ghost were standing watching the happy couple play and kiss in the snow “Do you still wish to punish Marek?”
“You weren’t there” Zoey said “You didn’t see his hatred”
“He’d just had his heart broken” Draco said “Had you given him time, time that you had he could have come around to see that you weren’t your sister”
“I...” Zoey couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Hermione broke the curse on the Prince line” Draco said “You owe it to her, she is in love with him and he with her...don’t let that curse drive her to kill herself”
“I will make the decision when I feel ready” She told him as she started to fade away “And you can’t force my hand”

A/N: Here you go. I’ve been watching Reign, I love that show!
