Remus looked between the bars of his cell and then closed his eyes. It was May 10th, his trial was set for the first on June and he’d be tried as a monster and sent to death, if he was lucky. If he wasn’t lucky then he’d be given the Dementor’s Kiss and stuck inside of a body without a soul and having to go through his monthly changes. That would be the fate that was likely waiting for him, he had bitten Hermione Granger. As his body started to relax his brain started to shut off and he was mere inches away from sleep, the time when memories usually came back.
*Remus had just been about to enter the castle when he was grabbed by the upper shoulders and had a wand pressed in to his throat. His eyes found the black ones of Severus Snape, the other man nodded his head to the side and for some odd reason Remus followed him as he walked quickly and quietly down the hallway. Severus tried many door handles but they’d all been locked and warded to keep death eaters from hiding and attacking when the side of the light was unprepared. Finally, a door opened and Severus pulled the other man in to the tiny broom closet where they stood chest to chest.
“I need you to help me” Severus said.
“Oh really?” Remus asked, attempting to look cocky and unimpressed the way Sirius or James would have looked. It was hard to hold that expression though when he was pressed in to the man so tightly he could count the buttons on his robes.
“Hermione Granger needs your help” Severus pressed.
“I really don’t give a damn what that little traitor needs” Remus snapped at him. Severus reached up and grabbed his head between his hands, holding on to him tightly and looking in to his eyes. He showed the werewolf all the secrets that Hermione kept, everything from the punishments to the blackmail.
“Now you see” Severus said “I am going to die in this war and I know it, accepted it and the only thing I need is for you to take my place in her life”
“How?” Remus asked.
“Be creative” Severus answered and then left the closet.* With those last memories Remus fell in to an uneasy sleep in the cold, dank cell in Azkaban.

Severus Snape was dead. Killed by Voldemort in the Shrieking Shack, Harry had been present, took the memories that saved them all, held on to his hand and looked in to his eyes as the life left Severus’s eyes. At least he wasn’t alone. That was what Hermione tried to remind herself of as she lay alone in the hospital bed sobbing. She remembered more now that she’d had a few solid days of being awake and eating regularly. She knew that at the time of Severus’s presumed time of death she’d been battling Bellatrix LeStrange with Ginny as the woman had already killed three people. When Harry was locked in the last battle with Voldemort, Ronald shot a killing curse at Draco Malfoy and she had blocked it. She now remembered the look of hatred and betrayal on the red-heads face when she did that. A look that only etched deeper when Fred Weasley, his own brother, sent a Stunning charm at him to keep him from further unexpected attacks on people. It was why he attacked her when the charm lifted after a duration of time and the battle was over. She’d been hooting in celebration with everyone else, Draco had his arm around her waist holding her close and she was just looking around taking stock of the survivors when Ron shot the curse at her. It was a nerve-damaging curse but thankfully Ronald was such a mediocre wizard that it didn’t even pack half the punch it should have. He was currently locked away in Azkaban along with Remus.
“Hello” Luna said from the doorway, she was holding a canvas in her hands and put it on the floor as she entered “How are you doing today?”
“Good” Hermione answered “They said that if everything keeps up I can be home in a few days, they just want to make sure that there’s nothing wrong with my nerves or with the baby”
“I still can’t believe you’re having a baby” She said with a smile as she sat down “Severus Snape’s line will continue on”
“How?” Hermione asked “No one was supposed to know”
“He told me” Luna answered “When he gave me this” She held up a letter and then handed it to her “It has some information that you need to know about” Hermione took the letter but kept her eyes locked on the blonde for a minute longer before lowering them to the note she’d unfolded.
Dear Hermione,
I’m sorry. If you’re reading this than I am dead and Miss. Lovegood has held up her promise to me that you would get this. As you read this a baby grows inside of you that I will never get to meet, but I hope that you will tell him or her about me. I know, though I wasn’t in the Great Hall, that Remus Lupin has likely bitten you somewhere. I told him to be inventive but he doesn’t really know how to be, you see I don’t trust that Lucius will be able to keep up with your punishments and I KNOW that Draco is far too weak to.
When he bit you, Remus introduced himself to your body. As time goes on you will feel the need to go to him, to please him in one way or another and you will be punished by him. Now get rid of that angry look in your eyes that would earn you a spanking if I was there. This was my wish. I trust Remus’s animalistic need to be dominant to be able to punish you, his wolfish trait to want to keep you safe and his human side to love you enough to not harm you. I imagine, because he’s a werewolf, that he’s being punished for what he’s done. You need to make sure that he doesn’t go to prison, that’s your last task from me or I will find a way to come back and beat your little ass.
Hermione, I know that you’re not happy with my choice of Remus as your new Dom but I’ve already gone to the other people that I know can do it and I trust. They said they would but I had to think about what would be best for you and Remus is. The only other two people that I know could treat you the way that you need to be treated would be two Weasley brothers. Bill Weasley or Percy Weasley. Bill has the fierce, carnal, animalistic dominance that you need and crave just like Remus. As for Percy, well I will admit that he is the exact opposite of Bill and Remus but he is dominant and he has three very satisfied young women that like his more reserved dominance as opposed to the animalistic one. If you truly can’t have Remus punish you like I thought than all you need to do is have Bill bite you and take you on as a Sub. Should be simple enough, he’s just a married man, right? If you choose Percy then you have to live with the constant and nagging call of Remus until he breaks it, dies or you die.
I really hope that you and Draco have a wonderful life together and that he will be able to raise my child with all the love he’ll give his own. If not, kill him. I’m not sure if you knew this but Miss. Lovegood is a very good artist and was working close with me for two gifts. One for you and one for my child, it was a bit rushed but I hope that it came out well. So you don’t worry about me I wanted you to see my heaven, to know where I will be (hoping) to go when I die. The other is a portrait of me for the child you carry, it was her idea I didn’t like it. Have a good life and I love you too, Hermione Granger.
Love,
Severus Snape.
P.S. I will be awaiting your presence to join me in my heaven so I can spank your ass for all the things I am certain you’ll do when I’m not around. However, I have asked Luna not to put that in the picture because I think it would be bad taste.
Hermione dropped the letter to her stomach and raised her eyes to the ceiling while the tears overflowed her cheeks again. Who’d have thought that Snape could be so sweet, then again she wasn’t sure how long it took him to write the letter. She was sure that if she went to his private chambers she’d find loads of half-written letters that weren’t as nice as this one. She was amazed that he managed to stay away from calling her a ‘bushy-haired know-it-all’ throughout the whole letter. She smiled a little to herself thinking about how much that used to bother her and now she’d pay to have him come back and call her that. She brought the parchment to herself and inhaled holding back tears when the familiar smell of potions herbs filled her nose.
“He had me make this for you” Luna said finally bringing over the huge picture that she had painted of his heaven “I’m going to leave now, let you study this as long as you want. I’m to have dinner with Harry, Neville and Ginny to discuss what we’re going to do now that the wars over”
“Do they hate me, Luna?” Hermione asked “No one’s come to visit, not even Draco”
“The Malfoy family is in prison” Luna told her “Harry’s been fighting the ministry to get them and Remus freed. He’s also been dealing with the news of you playing both sides, Ginny has too and with the loss of her mother she’s been relieved a little but still hurting”
“I’m sure” Hermione lowered her eyes and put her hand on her still flat stomach “What kind of monster would steal someone’s mother away?”
“Bellatrix LeStrange” Luna answered “Narcissa told us the whole story and provided the memory of it, it was horrific but its’ done”
“I’m sure that they will come visit as soon as possible” She looked at her sadly “I’ve searched for your parents in Australia, found them and Kingsley sent out a team of mental restorers/healers out there so they can restore them and get them home in time for your release from the hospital”
“Thank you” Hermione said as fresh tears fell from her eyes “All I can seem to do recently is cry”
“You have reason to” Luna told her “It’s okay”
Once Luna was gone Hermione pulled the picture that the other girl had painted for her. She held back a sob when she saw it and her heart ached painfully at it. It was Hogwarts, the grounds by the black lake, there was the tree that Hermione had always sat under to study and there were students everywhere. At first she thought that maybe his heaven was simply his time at Hogwarts, maybe forgetting the sadness he always felt there. But when she looked there her heart broke completely in two, the students were all dressed in their school robes but there were no house-emblems on their robes. She found Severus quickly in the moving figures, the images of Potter and Black had their arms thrown over his shoulders and they were laughing. Lily occasionally took his hand or kissed his cheek, they were playing harmless pranks on one another. Everyone was. There were no fights, no mean words, no prejudice and no hatred to be seen. The people studying were helping one another, the ones lounging were laughing and reading, some were playing exploding snap while others traded chocolate frog cards. Some people may have a heaven filled with jewels, some with magical creatures or spells they never knew, beautiful men or women, money or even family members they hadn’t seen in many years. But not Severus. In his heaven there was none of that, all there was in his heaven was happiness and acceptance. Somewhere he was safe and happy and no one wanted to hurt him there, this look in to the mind of the man she was finding out she never knew was both making her happy and killing her. She used her wand to levitate it to the other side of the room and leaned it against the wall before she laid back down. The pain that Hermione felt in her chest was a physical thing and she missed Severus and Draco more than she could put in to words. She turned on to her side and curled in on herself finally falling asleep and in her dreams entering the heaven she’d seen painted on the canvas for her. Severus was in her dream, she knew even in her dream, that she would never remember the whole dream but she did remember his words to her. It was something that she knew she’d remember forever even though they were simple.
“Whether you believe it or not” He whispered against her ear “Heaven on earth for me would have been a wife and child but since I never got that a world where I am accepted is fine for me” There was a gentle kiss against her ear lobe “Don’t mourn me. You mourn the people that die and are lost not the ones that have chosen their paths both in their lives and deaths. Have a good life, Hermione”
A/N: Sad chapter. I am sorry that Severus is dead. I wanted him alive but this is a Draco/Hermione story and not a Snape/Hermione story. If you want to read a Snape/Hermione story then check out I’ll Save You, If You Save Me. It’s a sad story but it will get happier and a little more romantic but I’m building the characters. Tell me what you think of THIS story.
