AN Chapter 26 Going into the unknown

She spun in and stood up brushing her robes and found Severus looking to her obsidian eyes boring into hers.

"I think that you did more than update Albus Hermione." Severus continued looking into her eyes sensing something.

She rushed over to him and kissed him gently and held him enjoying his long arms wrapped around her. "I did Severus and your familiar helped my decision." She never told him she got permission from the Ministry to pursue this research. She had to supplement her income to research vampires after all.

"Thanantos? I wondered where she was. She rarely leaves my quarters. So what important task is she doing for you?" Surprised that Thanantos would do anything for the witch as she responded only to him and shunned the other owls in the castle.

"My time here is drawing to a close Severus. I know Uncle Welford and if he says his plan will work it will. He never offers anything up if it will be unsuccessful. Soon I will be back in the Ministry pushing papers once again."

Severus held his breath. Was this her way of saying good-bye? He silently cursed Albus for convincing himself to open up to her.

Hermione continued. "So I went to Albus for some advice and Thanantos helped my decision along." She looked up to her lover. "I find the idea of being away from you unbearable not to mention my boss taking credit for sending me here and back to pushing papers in a boring, thankless job. Thanantos is delivering my resignation letter effective immediately. Once word gets out I'm sure I will get some job offers considering the press that our project has received. I'm sure Draco can help me considering his connections."

He slowly let his breath out. She wanted to be with him. "You work for the Ministry? What did Albus say?" He asked still holding her feeling her tremble for a moment and stilled.

"As for the Ministry I had to fund my research somehow and my stipend does not come close to the cost of it. Albus said a place would be found for me at the school if needed. I was hoping he would offer me a professorship."

They stood there holding one another when Thanantos flew in circling about them until they broke apart and the owl landed on her shoulder holding letter in her beak.

Hermione took it and was surprised the bird did not leave instead sinking her talons into her shoulder forcing Hermione to look at the owl.

Thanantos's large yellow eyes looked to her and shook her head side to side several times before flying off.

Hermione rubbed her shoulder muttering and opened the letter as Severus watched his familiar fly off and landed on a table waiting.

Hermione spoke out in surprise. "My boss is begging me not to resign offering a large pay increase and the promise that I will never be a glorified clerk again. A tempting offer I must admit."

Severus strode over to Thanantos conjuring up a pre inked quill. "She is waiting for your reply."

Hermione walked over and took the quill from Severus looking to him for a moment remembering the actions of the bird. She smiled as she wrote a single word on the parchment and sealed it.

Thanantos rubbed her beak against Hermione's hand for a moment picking up the letter and flew off.

Severus watched. "Thanantos seemed happy about your decision. Care to enlighten me?"

Hermione smiled. "I answered no Severus."

"You will never have to leave here if you do not want to. Of course I will abide by your decision if you want to later." Falling to his knees and fumbling in his robes finding the small black box that he'd been carrying with him.

"I wanted to ask you earlier but your damnable uncle proposed to Poppy first. I went to your lab to do exactly that and found all hell broke loose." He snarled out and looked up to her.

His voice softened. "Marry me Hermione. You accept me as I am and I do love you."

Hermione looked to Severus remembering the Headmaster's words that a place would be found if needed. The bloody man knew.

She took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger and pulled him up. "I'll be your wife Severus."

He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately moving a hand tracing down her back and felt her pull away from him.

"You know we need to get Welford and talk to Harry and Draco Severus." Looking to him as he sighed.

"Always focused and we will take a time out. But Floo him as I do not want to see him in a position that we were in earlier he walked in on us. Let Albus know as well."

Hermione laughed and moved to the fireplace and tossed floo powder into the fireplace and called out. "Uncle meet me at my quarters so we can talk to Harry and Draco. Bring Poppy along too as I am sure I am interrupting something."

She pulled away hearing a curse before the connection closed. "See he is as frustrated as you are."

"Finally something in common with the man." He drily replied as they made their way out of her lab.

HGSSHGSS

Severus and Hermione arrived first and found Draco and Harry holding one another.

Hermione rushed to Draco. "I'm sorry Draco for everything."

"It's okay Hermione I understand." Draco muttered hating that she was there.

"We have a cure…well I'm sure it's a cure." Hermione told him. "I want Uncle Welford to explain it."

Just then Welford arrived leaning on a cane with Poppy beside him. "Look Hermione almost healed!" He shouted out.

"Wonderful Welford. Sorry to interrupt you." Noticing the blush on Poppy's face.

Welford saw the sour look of Severus and thumped up to him. "I see the ring and we are in the same boat my friend. She is driven after all."

Severus whispered back. "You've no idea."

Albus and Kingsley walked in next and stood took a seat.

Soon all was seated and Welford explained the discovery that he and Poppy made during the night.

Harry looked to them. "Is this the best thing Hermione? It sounds promising."

She looked to him. "Uncle Welford is recognized as one of the best in blood in the country Harry. I'd trust him with my life."

Welford looked to Harry and Draco. "I'm not sure what effect your magic would have if I bring what is needed here. If we do this I would have to be in my world where I am most comfortable. I assure you I have done full transfusions many times and blood is blood and yours is no different. But it is up to you as this must be frightening for you."

Draco looked to Harry. "I want you cured Harry and if it works I will do it as well. It's what we prayed for years Harry."

Harry looked to Hermione and Welford. "I'll do it."

Welford looked to his niece. "I've been taking that crap of a potion for weeks and you remember Dr. Tetwell? I need to talk to him in my true form."

Hermione looked to him. "How long has it been Welford?"

"About an hour Hermione." He spat out "It taste likes…"

"Let's wait a few minutes." Hermione interrupted Welford.

Afrer a few minutes they watched Welford fall to the floor moaning out in pain and watched as he morphed back into himself.

Welford pulled himself up using his cane. "Back to my scrawny self and what a relief!" He crooned out as he patted himself and turned to Poppy. "I am handsome once again Poppy. Still want to marry me?

Poppy moved to him and kissed his cheek. "Of course you silly man."

Welford looked to the group. "One of you wave a stick and bring some drink. Everyone here has something to celebrate. Harry and Draco's cure not to mention all the other werewolves. My impending marriage to the sweet, beautiful Poppy and my niece's engagement to tall, dark, and grumpy." Turning to Severus and winked to him. "I hope you lighten up after ..."

"Enough!" Severus growled out and felt Hermione hold him back.

"No need for stick waving." Albus spoke pulling a bottle of Firewhiskey out and placed it on a table as Harry moved to a shelf and grabbed enough glasses for all and filled them halfway up.

"Hope and new lives for all of us. Cheers!" Harry spoke and downed his drink in one go.

Everyone followed and shook one another's hand as they whispered word of congratulations as Severus stood away from the group.

Welford approached Severus and looked up to him holding his hand out. "Severus I think there is not a better man out there to marry my niece and she does love you. Come watch the transfusion and see me as I am with my patients. I see so much suffering and most of my patients die as I try to find cures. It weighs on one you know and being light hearted when I can helps me deal with it."

Severus looked to the man amazed that he could be serious and shook his hand. "Thank you Welford and I will be there."

Welford shouted out "Ahooo! Come with me Poppy! I want you to meet my good friend Tetwell and arrange what we need. Don't wait up kids!"

Severus watched the scrawny man leave with Poppy. Just when he thought the man was sane the man dispelled the thought.

Albus moved up and shook Severus's hand. "Congratulations my boy! I knew that I would not need to offer Hermione a job and proud of you. Her ring is beautiful." Leaving Severus and motioned to Kingsley to follow him.

Severus looked for Hermione and found her sitting next to Harry, her arm wrapped around him as Draco sat on the other side of Harry.

"Dobby!" He called out.

Dobby appeared and looked to him waiting.

"Bring two bottles of firewhiskey."

Dobby appeared back with two bottles and handed them Severus before disappearing again.

Severus moved and sat the bottles down in front of the trio. "I'll go and replicate the blood Hermione. Spend time with Harry because you both need it."

Hermione watched her fiancée leave and turned her attention to Harry.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Welford and Poppy arrived in a quaint village in Norfolk and he led her down the street. "Tetwell's house is just around the bend. I hope you brought your magical liquids."

Poppy pulled her wand out and watched Welford knock on the door and watched it open. "Hello Tetwell! Did you miss me?"

"Welford? I don't…You are..." Tetwell stuttered out.

"Alive!" Welford finished the statement and watched the heavy man pass out in shock and turned to Poppy. "Do your magic Love."

Poppy smiled and waved her wand.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

They finished the second bottle and Hermione was well into her cups, spending the time reminiscing about the past. Harry suddenly burst into tears. "I wish Ron was here. I miss him so much."

Draco wrapped his arms around Harry. "He always gets this way when he drinks. It's best just to let him talk before he passes out."

Harry closed his eyes. "The Boy Who Lived And Killed His Best Friend." Harry muttered out.

Hermione listened to his slurred words never realizing the pressure put upon him. Sure he talked about it with her and Ron but never in depth. Soon Harry talked about seeing the memories of Professor Snape and what he sacrificed and realizing he was destined to go to his death and his fight with the werewolf before meeting up with Voldemort.

"You succeeded Harry." Hermione slurred out as her eyes drooped.

"Yeah I did Hermione with you and Ron." He slurred out and kissed her on the cheek before he passed out.

Draco watched as Hermione passed out wrapped in Harry's arms and muttered. "Gryffindor always dwell on the past when it is the future that needs to be focused on."

He stood up and went to the fireplace and tossed in some Floo powder and saw the face of his Godfather looking back at him.

"She and Harry passed out Godfather. Do you want to retrieve your fiancée or should I leave them wrapped up in one another on the couch?"

Draco heard a voice growl out. "Step aside Draco!"

Severus arrived and looked to Harry and Hermione wrapped in one another's arm and moved picking her limp body up and nodded to his godson before he turned his heel and Apparated away.
