New Minister Of Magic Is…
Welcome to the Ministry of Magic as our new Minister Hermione Snape! For the first time in over thirty years there is a woman in the office and let’s hope this one turns out better than the last. Everyone was at the ministry early to put in their votes and when this reporter was done putting in her own vote for the little muggleborn firecracker she went to the voters to hear what they liked best about the crazy haired woman.
“She was honest” One woman said “She is an amazing woman showing women everywhere that they can be business women as well as mothers. She is raising a baby, being a great and supportive wife and just…amazing, did I already say that?”
“We need someone that we can trust” A man told me “Someone who isn’t afraid to tell us the truth and someone who is willing to do the work that others shy away from no matter what and that is why I voted for Mrs. Snape”
“I’m a muggleborn” A seventeen year old Hogwarts seventh year told me “Those feelings that she was describing about how it feels to come in to this world when you never knew it existed before your eleventh year of life was…” Here the young lady got teary-eyed “Spot on. It was the most endearing, truthful and heartfelt thing that I ever heard before. It was like she had found my diary from my first year and wrote her speech straight from its pages. Throughout all the campaigning she hasn’t been afraid to talk about herself, including her fears, hopes, wishes, faults and setbacks and I really feel that that has made all the difference in the turnout of this day”
There is an amazing party going on at the ministry in honor of the new Minister but there is only one thing that happens to be missing from this spectacular party…the new minister…

Hermione stood in the hallway of Saint Mungo’s Emergency Floor. She paced and paced many times but she had only heard the bare amount of information. Severus was in a private room, in a bed, hooked up to nutrient potions, infection control potions and pain potions but had yet to wake up. Remus and Tonks had taken Aibhlinn the night before and Hermione had spent the night in the room with her husband. They had decided that whatever had happened to him couldn’t be contracted because if it was then she would have already had it and they imagined the baby wouldn’t have lived as long as she has if he’d been sick.
“Minister Snape” Healer Tate said as he walked over to her. Hermione insisted that he was the one to take care of her husband as he had taken care of her when she’d been injured in the war, she knew his abilities were great and she trusted him.
“Yes, Healer Tate” She said walking over to him “Is my husband okay?”
“He’s in a coma” The healer answered “We’re not sure what’s going on. The lesser ranking death eaters were in their coma’s for a few hours before they awoke with no memories about what happened and their marks completely missing” Hermione nodded “However, Lucius and Draco Malfoy as well as your husband are still out and we’re not sure why…but it definitely has something to do with Voldemort’s mark”
“Fucking nose-less fuck forever messing up my life” Hermione hissed and the healer looked surprised and a little amused at her outburst.
“Hermione!” Narcissa and Astoria ran over to where she was standing “Oh Hermione” Narcissa took her hands “I’ve called in the best healers from America, Africa, France, Germany and Russia…they’re going to figure out what’s happening”
“I hope so” Hermione said “I really do”
“Are you going to do your first interview as minister?” Narcissa asked.
“Of course not” Hermione looked scandalized “Severus needs me”
“No, he doesn’t” Astoria said “And what would he say if he knew that you chose to ignore your first interview as minister just to watch him lay in the hospital bed and sleep?”
“But…” Hermione started.
“I’ll stay with him, Hermione” She heard a soft voice from behind her say sweetly and turned to find Luna standing there “I volunteer here and I’ve been told to help out with the newest admits. An interview should only take a few hours, I will sit and read the newest Potions Weekly to him while he sleeps”
“But if he wakes up...” Hermione started and the blonde girl interrupted her.
“If he wakes up I will send you my patronis” Luna promised “You can trust me…you know that”
“Fine” Hermione looked once more at the door that led in to Severus’s hospital room and then looked at Luna again “Only a few hours. I’ll do the interview, go back to Hogwarts and check on Aibhlinn, change my clothes and then I’ll be back”
“Okay” Luna said “Don’t rush, take your time and please…don’t worry”
~~~//~~~
Hermione sipped her overly sweet and caffeinated tea as she sat across from Rita Skeeter. She told her that she would do the interview and even tried to act happy about that but she knew the older woman saw through her. As she watched Rita get her quills and parchment and look over her questions crossing over a few and writing in a few more. A thought crossed Hermione’s mind and she couldn’t help but ask it.
“Rita” Hermione said “How is it that you’ve managed to not be pulled in to the marriage law?”
“Oh” Rita frowned down at the parchment she was working over “I’m barren”
“Barren?” Hermione repeated.
“I can’t have children” She answered, Hermione saw her swallow hard and press her lips together and she was careful not to move her eyes from what she was doing “No wizard would marry a woman who can’t bare his children”
“Muggleborns understand that” Hermione insisted “And they know how to remedy it even without the aid of magic…plus if someone loves you it won’t matter”
“Do you know why I voted for you?” Rita asked suddenly as she turned to look at the younger woman before her “Do you know why I chose to vote for the little know-it-all shit that kept me prisoner in a jar as a bug for three months and then held it over my head for years?”
“No” Hermione answered “Why?”
“Because” She answered “My condition, being barren, is seen as a monstrosity in this world and I was hoping, maybe against hope, that you would make people understand that its not…that you would educate people”
“I will” Hermione promised “Let’s get to the interview, hmm?”
“Hermione Snape” Rita said “How do you feel, knowing that you are the Minister of Magic?”
“I’m…overwhelmed” Hermione admitted “I am happy and terrified all at the same time. I can’t wait to start rebuilding our world though and promise that I’ll start right away”
“Are you sure that you’ll be able to remain focused on the job at hand now that your husband has fallen ill?” Rita asked as gently as she could.
“That will be difficult” Hermione answered “Being the full time parent, Minister and helping to find out how to cure my husband is a lot to take on. However, I’ve always found that I do better when I’m under pressure and this pressure will let up once Severus wakes up”
“Why not leave the healing to the Healers of Saint Mungo’s?” She asked.
“Because I may be married but I will forever be Hermione Granger” She answered “I will forever do anything that I can to take care of those I love. I am a Potions Mistress as well as a Charms Mistress and I feel that I can at least help a little”
“I agree” Rita smiled “So, what do you think will be the first thing you want to do…what do you want to start with?”
“Oh wow” Hermione forced a laugh “I want to visit the schools from the wizarding primary schools and Hogwarts to get a full view of the education. I want to see what could be changed for the better and what can be added”
“Are you going to abolish the Marriage Law?” Rita asked bluntly.
“I am going to take a closer look at it” Hermione said vaguely, she knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea to give away all her plans “I may make changes, I may keep it and I may just up and end it altogether”
Rita had a few more questions and once they had all been answered Hermione read through what the quill had written about the interview and her answers and after a few small changes she brought it to the editor and left. She went to Hogwarts and talked with Albus who had found a temporary Potions Professor for September if he was needed, then she went back to her and Severus’s chambers where she showered and dressed and called a house-elf for help. She explained that she, Severus and Aibhlinn would be going to their summer home and she would like all the stuff moved there. Then she went to Remus and Tonks’s private rooms where Aibhlinn was playing with the werewolf and Teddy and Tonks was napping with baby Remus.
“How is my little girl?!” Hermione exclaimed as she ran forward and picked the giggling child up “How are you?” She kissed her “Did you miss me…do you miss daddy?”
“How is Severus?” Remus asked as he led Teddy over to some toys on the other side of the room “Do they know…”
“Not yet” Hermione frowned and then made faces at her daughter and watching her laugh “He’s in a coma. It’s something to do with that stupid mark on his arm, but its fine, I’m going to figure it out”
“Dada” Aibhlinn whined and Hermione bounced her on her hip kissing her occasionally.
“Hermione” Remus said “I know that he’s in the hospital and you’ve got the office now, congratulations…really wish I’d have voted for you now…” Hermione chuckled and slapped his arm half-heartedly “Anyway, I have some…contacts, from the war that I could get in touch with. I’ll see what I can learn from them. But I’ll be gone for a few days, can you check on Tonks and the boys?”
“Yes” She promised “Oh yes, thank you so much Remus!”
“I’m not promising anything” He reminded her “But…”
“It’s more than anyone else is doing” She told him “Thank you so much”
When Hermione left Hogwarts she went on to the Burrow as Molly had asked to watch Aibhlinn for a few days. Then she went back to the hospital to find her husband was still in his coma and completely unmoved. She sent out some letters, had papers delivered to her from her new office so she could work in an office that the hospital gave to her. She worked through the first night but knew that soon she’d have to collect Aibhlinn and together they would have to go to the house that used to offer such comfort. There they would be alone, her daughter (who was already a daddy’s-girl) would have to learn to depend on her and she would have to learn to be a working, single mother. She didn’t know how long this was going to last…or if he was going to wake up.
A/N: There you have it. The last chapter. Not to fret, there will be a sequel, I’m evil but not that evil give me SOME credit. LOL.
