12:06am. Hermione stood in the kitchen with her back against the wall looking at the others in the room. She was dressed in all black as well as the death eaters and had told the others to do so as well, her outfit was a black tank top with tight black pants and black knee-high boots where she had hidden knives. Her wand was clutched in her hand that was tightening and loosening reflexively, she saw Bellatrix standing across from her with her bottom lip quivering but a determined expression in her eyes. Next to her was Larissa, Frenrir and the rest, only Hermione stood near the door and she was forcing herself to breathe deeply and calmly. And they waited.
A light flashed in the key hole of the kitchen door and then it slowly opened, Hermione’s eyes flashed momentarily to Remus as she reached in to her boot and withdrew a short and deadly sharp knife from within. Inch by quiet inch the door opened and McNair, the man who had tried to kill Buckbeak in her own time started to enter the dark and seemingly empty room. Hermione narrowed her eyes, she would forever remember this man because he had been one of the first men to rape her after Harry had died. Her eyes zeroed in on her target and then swift as a hare the hand holding the knife shot forward and with a rush of revengeful glee her knife cut through the skin of his neck and through his carotid artery spraying blood all over the kitchen in front of him. Everyone knew that she had been angry and they knew that she was strong but never in their wildest dreams had any of her friends or family expected her to be this ruthless. Hermione spit on him before the people behind him came rushing in.
As the death eaters came rushing in Hermiones little army came rushing out. She wanted them to have the advantage of being outside because she still didn’t know her way around the house and didn’t need to be playing hide and seek with any of the enemies. They won that part and successfully they were all outside it was darker this night than it had been in ages, it was like the gods had been anticipating this fight but couldn’t pick which side to root for. The lights from a dozen different spells were shooting all around, Hermione dodged them here and there jumped and dove over others. She cast her own all around and even attacked with the knives that she had, she wasn’t keeping track of how many she hurt or even killed she was just looking for him.
“OH MY GOD!” She screamed when she tripped over a body, she almost left it there but on a whim she looked back down and saw familiar long black hair “SEVERUS!”
“I’m all right” He mumbled pulling himself up with her help “Bloody… torture spells…where’s Sirius?”
“I…I don’t know” Hermione had tears in her eyes as looked around and for the first time since it all started she was actually seeing what was happening “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry”
“Why?” He asked “You saved me from a worse fate. I would rather die now protecting everyone than in your future knowing that I damned everyone”
“THERE YOU ARE!” Suddenly Sirius was tackling Severus back to the ground “I thought…holy merlin…I thought…WHERE WERE YOU…I’VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE!!”
Hermione left them and went back in to the crowd she didn’t look at her friends and she didn’t look for Remus. She knew what she had to do and if she found out that he was dead before the dark lord was she knew that she would not finish her task. She was forced to blast a death eater away from Andromeda and then killed a death eater that was attempting to rape Lily. Then she saw him, he was in his sweeping black robes and laughing as he dueled…oh god…Remus! Hermione screamed in rage and ran forward there was no plan of attack nothing in her mind about her next move all she knew was that Remus was getting tired and that the dark lord was going to kill him. Without warning she slammed her entire body in to the tall, lean snake-like man and knocked him over which released the spell he had been casting at Remus.
“You little bitch!” Voldemort hissed and backhanded her hard across the face sending her rolling off of him. When she landed she was staring in to the dead and glassy stare of Bellatrix LeStrange and Hermione felt a lump form in her throat “That’s right” He laughed “All she wanted was a quiet life in the country” His tone was mocking “And because of you…she’s dead!”
“You won’t make me feel bad” Hermione told him standing up “I told her to run and she chose to stand with me, against you!”
“How noble of her” He sneered “And look where nobility has gotten her”
“It has gotten her in to the history books” Hermione snapped “When the future children read about you they will be learning you were a friendless, impotent, mean OLD MAN who was killed by a sixteen year old” She smirked “When they read about her they will know that she died to make sure that they could live”
“I think not” He said tilting his head to the side before his wand came flying up and he screamed “AVADA KEDAVRA” and the jet of shockingly green light shot towards Hermione, she did not shake or scream all she could think was ‘wow that’s the same color as Harry’s eyes’ and then she smiled knowing that he would be waiting for her.
“No, you don’t!” The voice ended in a soft sigh and when Hermione opened her eyes she saw her grandmother, Larissa smiling slightly, her light blond hair floating in the air as if in water and her beautiful light blue eyes losing their light and turning glassy. She held on to her as they both fell to the ground, the stupid old woman had jumped in front of the killing curse for her…she was dead. Hermione screamed.
“Grandmother” Her voice shook almost as much as her hands “Larissa…please. Why…why did you do that?”
“Stupid woman” Voldemort said coldly and Hermione looked at him with wide tear-filled eyes.
“Before this night is over” Hermione growled “I will be covered in your blood”
Remus pulled her to her feet and away from the dark lord but she was no longer present. He couldn’t see any of the woman he had come to know in her face anymore, there was a cold and angry person there and without a second thought she pulled away from him and went back in for the attack. Remus saw two death eaters on Severus and two on Sirius and he saw…PRONGS?! Running through the yard trying to spear all the running death eaters with his deadly antlers, Remus was forced to take a step back as some ran by screaming followed by his transformed friend. He tripped over something and fell hard on his side looking to see what it was he was surprised to see Frenrir staring at him and he was dead.
Remus scrambled back and noticed that Sirius was no longer being attacked, in fact Sirius was no longer there…it was Padfoot that was there. He was amazed because Sirius was an amazing in dueling and yet he was doing better as a dog but Severus still needed help and he was making his way over there when there was a strangled scream and he saw that Molly Weasley was being attacked by someone. Her wand was no-where in sight and she was on her stomach…what could they be doing… ‘AH!’ He screamed in his mind and then ran over and bodily attacked the man that was attempting to rape the kind woman. He knew that this kind of rage could only be matched if it were Hermione being attacked and in his anger he had grabbed the man in a shocking display of strength that he hadn’t realized he had and he was slamming the man in to a tree. There was a large dent in the tree already but Remus seemed content in sending the man through the tree but Molly put a soothing hand on his back and calmed him down and he dropped and bound the man before they went their separate ways.
Still fueled brilliantly from his fight with the moron that dared attack Molly, Remus literally threw himself in to the fight with Severus and within seconds the cowering Slytherin was merely trying to stay out of the line of flailing fists. When the death eaters were knocked out (or dead…Severus wasn’t sure) they split and went to take on the others that were still fighting though not nearly as hard as when they arrived.
Hermione had been dueling Voldemort the entire time, spell after spell, curse after curse. Jumping, dodging and of course baiting. She was ready for this to be over with though and she ran at him avoiding his curses. Her body was screaming at her because of the number of Crucio’s she had received, he had told her that there was no use in killing her because he wanted to play with her.
“Come on, Tom” She hissed “Come and get me…I’m right here or are you too scared?” In shock he pulled her closer and shoved a knife she didn’t even know he had in to her side and smiled nastily in to her face.
“I’m not going to kill you, love” He smirked “I will beat you daily, rape you all the time and in any hole I see fit and I will make you submissive and docile…the way any pureblooded woman should be”
“I have a secret for you, Tom” She leaned up and whispered near his ear, her breath coming out in a slight pant from the pain “I. Am. Not. A. Pureblooded. Woman”
“I know” He hissed “You’re a child but that will be fixed”
“My name is Hermione Granger” She told him, her lip quivering as the faces of all her loved one that had been killed by him flashed before her eyes “In my time your hatefulness and narrow-mindedness stabbed me right through my heart…I think it’s time to repay the favor”
“What?” He snapped but gasped when Hermione slammed her hand out and shoved the knife she was holding there between his ribs and in to his heart. The shock on his face was evident and Hermione suddenly heard all the fighting behind her stop as he stepped back and looked at the knife in horror.
“I made a promise to you earlier in this fight” Hermione said to him “And I will keep it” She stepped closer and with one swift motion she sliced his throat letting the blood rain over her as it sprayed out of him.
Hermione watched as he made a desperate attempt to stop the flow and she grinned menacingly at him. He dropped to his knees and as he slowly died Hermione thought of Harry, Ron and Ginny she was happy to see that they were smiling happily at her and thanking her for saving them and then she was back in the present looking at his now dead body now drained of its life’s blood. Hermione turned to the others and held her head high regarding the changes, some death eaters were looking around confused as to why they were there in the middle of the night, covered in blood and surrounded by dead bodies. Others were slowly making their ways to the woods trying not to catch anyone’s attention.
“It is done” Hermione said, she was standing there in her torn black tank top and ripped pants her hair had been ripped from its braid and was wild around her face and she was covered head to toe in Voldemorts blood as it had sprayed out of him “He’s dead. Round up the rest if you can, someone call the ministry and I’ll take stock of the dead on our side”
She hadn’t been able to make out who was who in the darkness so she wasn’t sure who was alive on her side or not. Shaking as the adrenaline left her body she made her way around the edge of the yard. Molly was laying on her back with her left leg over her right knee looking at the stars with a smile on her face, it looked as if she had just decided to lay there after a walk or something not after a fight for their lives.
“I honestly wasn’t sure if I would live through this night” The red haired woman admitted “I’m so glad I’ll be going home to my kids and that I’ll forever have you as a friend”
“Is Arthur okay?” Hermione asked.
“Yes…he’s with Minerva” She added sadly.
Hermione continued around the yard passing over the death eaters that litter the ground. Then her vision fell on the crying Minerva who was being held by Arthur, she looked on the ground near them and saw Albus Dumbledore and she let out a sob but apparently he was meant to be killed by Voldemort in any timeline. Continuing on her way she passed the bodies of Bellatrix, Larissa and then Frenrir she stopped when she saw him and leaned down. This was not the same man that had beaten and raped her in her own time this was a new man and she shed a few tears for him but not many because she knew that he was with Larissa and they were happy. Walking to the other side of the yard she was vaguely aware that the Minister and the magical law enforcement department were there collecting the remaining death eaters.
“HERMIONE!” Remus came running towards her and suddenly everything came back to real time and she fell in to his arms crying and kissing him not caring that he was covered in blood “Oh baby…I was so worried!”
“Remus” She sobbed “Where were you?” She hit him half-heartedly in the chest “I was looking everywhere, I thought…oh god I thought”
“I know” He whispered “I know baby, I was taking care of a rat” He kissed her blood splattered cheek.
“Peter?” She whispered “He was here?”
“Yes” He answered “I caught him as he was trying to run…Hermione” He looked at her with wide eyes and through the bond she felt his fear that she would hate him “I killed him…I was just so angry with him”
“It’s okay, baby” She whispered hugging him closer “It’s okay, it’s okay”
“Will I go to Azkaban?” He asked her, his eyes red and wet “He was running away…never attacked”’
“Where is he?” Hermione asked.
He took her hand and after making sure no one was watching them he led her in to the woods and after maybe a five minute walk she found the body of their fellow student. Hermione took a deep breath and shuddered a little at the amount of blood that was staining his clothes then took out her wand. She transfigured his body to a rock and then picked it up and threw it as far as she could before turning to look at Remus and smiling sadly.
“The other death eaters will talk about him” She assured “Blame him for something and they will assume he ran away to save his own hide”
“I love you” He said pulling her to him and kissing her deeply “I love you so much”
“I love you too” She whispered against his lips.
“He died protecting me, you know” He said as they walked back out in the yard “Frenrir. He was protecting me, someone sent the killing curse at me…he got in the way and died…protecting me”
“I think he felt bad for turning you” Hermione said as they watched Severus fling himself in to Sirius’s arms and kissing him deeply “I’m glad they are okay…where’s James and Lily?”
“In the kitchen” He answered her “She is helping someone clean up the mess in there”
“Everyone else?” She pressed.
“We lost, Larissa, Frenrir, Bellatrix and Dumbledore” He told her “That’s all…for the amount of people we fought that is a pretty low number”
“I know” She whispered.
Larissa and Frenrir were buried together near her small cottage where Severus and Sirius ended up moving in to. Severus was very withdrawn after the war and spent a lot of his time in the small cottage, allowing no one but Sirius to see him for days on end. Then came the day that he disappeared completely, everyone looked for him and they all feared the worse when he finally came to main house three days after going missing. He merely looked at them and told them that he was done and everything was finally perfect and that they should check it out when they get a chance. No one really understood what he meant until Hermione walked out to lay some flowers down on Larissa’s grave. She gasped as she looked around and then the tears fell freely down her face at the beauty all around her and she knew this was what he had been doing the three days he went missing.
It was a clearing near a small brook and the air was clear and the light shined through making the running water glitter like crystals, the area was fragrant with roses. There were fairies floating through the air dropping diamonds in to the grass that would disappear after a minute on the ground. And even though there was a light misty rain outside there was sun shining around the area and there were ever-blooming red roses in front of both gravestones.
“It will be like this until I die” Severus told her stepping out from behind a tree “I think she deserves this”
“I think she would love it” Hermione said tears filling her eyes as she hugged him.
Remus had watched as Hermione came back with Severus, he knew all about what Severus had done and he was happy. He liked that someone had done something nice for Frenrir, Remus had really gone back and forth with his anger and guilt for the other man. But no matter what there were some things that he couldn’t forget and things he wouldn’t forget. He closed his eyes as he thought about the last time he had spoken to the man…the night he had bitten Hermione while they made love…the night of the war, she had told him that she felt that Frenrir felt bad for turning him and he knew it.
~~~Memory~~~
“Remus” The husky rasping voice of Frenrir Greyback called to him “Would you come in here, maybe have a drink with me?”
“Why?” Remus asked.
“Look” Frenrir closed the door blocking them from the rest of the house “I know that you hate me and I don’t blame you because I hate the man that bit me”
“I don’t…” Remus started but then sighed “Yeah…I do…I just don’t understand why!”
“I didn’t know you” Frenrir looked at his feet “Your father…he offended the dark lord and I was told to “take care” of his son. I didn’t know you I just…I didn’t want to be punished. I was being selfish and I don’t know how to make you understand but I’m sorry”
“Sorry” Remus looked at his feet and swallowed the lump in his throat “When I thought I wasn’t able to go to Hogwarts I used to wish you came back and just finish what you’d started” He let out a strangled sort of sob “I didn’t understand what I had done. When I was accepted to the school and knew that my life wasn’t over I started to pity you and think that there was the possibility that you were just too close and couldn’t help yourself. I guess I can accept your apology”
“I’m a monster, I know” He smiled “But…”
“Hey” Remus grinned “We’re all monsters, at some point our lives”
~~~End Memory~~~
Remus groaned as the memories made him want to sob aloud, it was too close and he could still see the werewolf as he moved as if in slow motion as he came to stand in front of the curse that ended his life. Remus watched his life leave his eyes and the sadness fill his face as he fell gracefully to the ground and then breathed no more. Remus had stood there looking at him not really sure of what to do or how to feel, this had been the man that had changed his entire life for the worse and yet he could feel sorrow and sadness for the man. He had hoped to learn more about Lycanthropy from him, maybe have him as a bit of a mentor but now that wouldn’t be happening.
Now he looked across the yard at the woman that he had fallen in love with. It was August and soon they would be back at Hogwarts and in the hustle and bustle of the students and reporters and teachers, but none of that mattered anymore now Remus just wanted to live and show Hermione that she could as well. He saw her when she thought that no one was looking, he saw the way she would cry silently to herself or get that small sad smile on her face when she would look at Sirius or James. She knew what could have happened and what had happened to her and he knew that she suffered every day because of it. There was always the dreams that had her waking up screaming, crying and scared and he was always there to comfort her. There was always the pressure to live up to the friends she lost that haven’t been born yet but he was there for her no matter what because he loved her. He sighed and walked over to her, pulling her close to him he kissed her deeply, told her that he loved her and then dragged her to the bedroom with a devilish grin on his face, he had big plans for this afternoon now that Mrs. Potter was out and Mr. Potter was locked in a meeting. Big plans in deed.
A/N: I have the last chapter written but I won’t put it up right away. I am giving everyone a chance to ask for anything special.

We will all miss Larissa and Frenrir and Dumbledore…WE WONT MISS PETER PETTIGREW!!! Hahaha….PLEASE REVIEW!!!
