A/N: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! More reviews!!! LOL!

Brownrecluse: I know there are some inconsistancies with this story, but I've been too lazy to fix them, honestly. LOL! I always appreciate constructive critisism. =D This story definately took a life of it's own, well, in this chapter and the next. You hit that bang on! LOL! There's only 11 more chapters after this one and the tale will be told. *grins* I sincerely hope all of my reviewers will still be reading and reviewing. Thanks so very much!

laceyweasley: Thanks so much for the review. I am a sucker for just about anyone with Snape. LOL! I think Hermione fits because of her intelligence.

With that, Hermione fell asleep. Severus thought it best to magic her some clothes on, and put her under the cover. He would hate for her to catch a cold. After he and Ronnie left, Hermione�s dreams went from peaceful to much less than that.

�Ron! Hermione! Where are you? Voldemort�s attacking Hogwarts!� came Harry�s voice through their house.

�Coming Mate!� shouted Ron back.

Ron and Hermione both threw some clothes on and appriated to the lower level kitchen. Harry was waiting for them. �Severus has gone ahead. We have to hurry,� Harry said urgently.

The three of them appriated to Hogsmeade and ran the remaining distance to the school. The gates had been blown open. This was not a good sign. They could see the red and green jets of light exploding from wand tips as they ran across the grounds. The Death Eaters were quickly taking over the members of the Order. The trio began stunning every death eater they saw, and before long, had taken quite a few of them down. Ron and Harry ran into the castle to look for Dumbledore and make sure that he was still fighting. Hermione stayed outside to help Lupin and Tonks. Severus was nowhere to be seen outside.

When the threat had mostly been eliminated outside, Hermione ran to find her husband and Harry. She carefully made her way up and down the stairs looking and listening for any fighting. Finally, she heard a commotion in the Great Hall. She opened the doors to find mass confusion and devastation. Dumbledore and Voldemort were dueling at the other end of the hall, and she found Severus dueling with Bellatrix LeStrange. Harry was making short work of Lucius Malfoy and Ron was trying to defend himself from Crabbe and Goyle. She made her way, stealthily, toward Ron and before either death eater knew what had hit him, stunned them. Ron looked back and smiled at his wife. They carried on with the fighting. Voldemort hit Dumbledore with a curse that knocked him out. He then turned his attention to an occupied Harry. Hermione watched in horror as Voldemort screamed, �Avadra Kadarva!�

�Harry!� she screamed as the killing curse hit him in the back.

He fell into a heap immediately. Voldemort then turned to Ron who started toward Harry. Hermione screamed the same curse at Voldemort, who blocked it with ease. He narrowed the slits in his face he called eyes as Lucius Malfoy turned his wand on Ron. In less than a second Ron was dead. Hermione ran, wand at the ready, horror struck to her fallen husband. Snape realized what had happened and spat a killing curse at Malfoy. He was dead. As Malfoy fell, Dumbledore came to. He had not seen what had happened to Ron and Harry, but caught Bellatrix as she threw a curse at Hermione. In the mayhem that ensued, Dumbledore managed to kill or bind every death eater who was in the room, and Snape and Hermione upon seeing their loved ones dead, turned to Voldemort and issued the Avada Kadarva curse upon him. With two coming toward him, he could not block the force with which it hit him. Lord Voldemort fell in battle, and his reign of terror was no more.

Hermione ran to Ron, and Snape to Harry. They were both gone, and there was nothing that could be done. Hermione sobbed as she ran her hands through her husband�s red hair. She just kept repeating, �No, no, no��

�Ron!� she screamed as she sat straight up in the bed.

Severus walked in just as she shouted. He quickly moved into their bedroom to see Hermione covered in sweat and sobbing. He�d only come back to the dungeons to retrieve some papers.

He was at her side in less than a second. She reached for him and buried herself in his shoulder. He held her there, sobbing, for some time before saying anything. Hermione regained her composure, and looked at Severus. �Another dream?� he asked.

She shook her head. �Yes. It was the one I was having right after Voldemort�s fall. You know, the one where everyone is in battle, and Ron and Harry fall?�

He wiped a tear from her cheek. �I know that one well, Hermione.�

She released his embrace, and inquired the time. �It�s nearing the end of lunch,� he said. �I came back here to find some papers.� Stroking her hair he finished, �I�m glad I did now.�

She smiled. �I�m glad you did.�

Together, they walked into the sitting room. �I have to go now, class started 5 minutes ago.�

�I know,� she said looking down, �I�ll be alright. I�m just going to shower and maybe take a walk around the grounds, send Molly a letter with Hedwig.�

Severus went back to his potion�s class, and Hermione took a shower. By the time she got dressed, she had decided that she was going to talk to Dumbledore. She put on some pretty, deep green robes and made her way to the gargoyles that guard Dumbledore�s office. �Fizzing Whizz Bee,� she muttered and the gargoyles jumped to the side and a door opened revealing a spiral staircase that spun upward. She rode the stairs all the way up to the oak door and clicked the knocker three slow times.

�Enter,� she heard the old wizard say.

She walked into his office. It was much the same as it always was. There were pictures of the former headmasters and headmistress of Hogwarts all around. There was a table of little silver instruments to her right. Sitting behind his desk was Albus Dumbledore. His eyes twinkled at her as she walked in. �Mrs. Snape,� he addressed her with a smile, �I hope you are well and not feeling too well rested after your honeymoon?�

She couldn�t help but smile at the old wizard. He arose from his chair and moved around his desk to hug her. They embraced like the old friends that they were. �I�m feeling ok, I suppose, Professor.�

He bade her to sit and she graciously took the chair he offered. He suddenly looked serious. �You�ve come here for a reason Hermione. I can see it in your eyes. What can I do for you?�

She looked at her hands for a long minute without speaking. Then she said, �Professor, I�m still having trouble sleeping. The nightmares are always the same. I�m not sure exactly why I came here, honestly, but I��

Dumbledore silenced her with a raised hand. �You want a solution, don�t you? A way to move on maybe? Time, I�m afraid, is the only solution.�

�But, well, actually, I was wondering. Could a pensieve hold the memory of Ron�s death for me for a while? Just until I can get some sleep and get everything back on schedule,� she asked looking hopeful.

�Ahhh�� was his answer. �My dear, a pensieve is a blessing and a curse in this situation. Yes, if you remove the memory you will sleep, but once it goes back, the dreams are likely to resume. On another subject,� he smiled that knowing smile, �You have the same glow that you did at Ron�s and Harry�s funerals.�
