This was up here before but I changed it so I replaced the chapter. I hope you like it...anything surrounded by ' is thought.

Hermione couldn't believe what had happened, she just couldn't! She refused to believe that Harry and Ron were dead; they had just been talking about what their seventh year would be like no more than a couple hours ago. As well Voldemort now had almost complete control of the Wizarding World. Everything was almost deathly still in the Great Hall and Hermione was left to her thoughts.

'What are we going to do now? Harry was the one who was to defeat Voldemort; the whole world is lost now.'

Finally Hermione fully realizes that Harry and Ron were dead...really dead and she was alone. She was the soul survivor of the Gryffindor Dream Team and it was all her fault. She came back to her senses and realized it was not quiet as she thought in the Great Hall, it was filled with the sounds of a crying family; crying over their lost son who gave his life to save hers.

Flashback

"So what do you guys think Snape is going to do to us?" Ron asked first.

"I don't know but it seems we are heading towards the forest. Maybe he will pass us off to Hagrid," Harry suggested hopefully.

"That is probably not going to happen, Snape knows Hagrid would not be hard on us," Hermione replied matter of factly.

"True well I guess that means we are in big trouble if Snape is taking us into the forest! What are we going to do? He will probably leave us there like the Death Eater he is!" Ron so wonderfully added in.

"Oh Ron please, you know he is not a real Death Eater anymore get over it! We will probably just have to pick up some potions ingredients," Hermione replied intelligently.

At this Snape turned and glared at the trio, "I can hear everything you are saying you know! Moreover, thanks for the marvelous defense of my reputation Ms. Granger," the last part he said sarcastically.

After that, all three shut up and followed silently.

'Why was I always the one to suffer the wrath of Snape? I was trying to help and he yells at me? It has been like this since the end of sixth year, since he saved my life. Before he would yell more at Harry because of his past with James but not anymore, even when I thanked him for saving me he was mean. Even though I still can't help but feel a sort of connection with Sever.....I mean Snape.'

Looking at him now Hermione could see past all of the crudeness and see him for who he really was.

'I think this is what scares him. He tries so hard to look and be the mean potions professor but I know different because he cared enough to save me. He, and as scary as this may seem, is even quite handsome. He was probably one of the better-looking students at Hogwarts in his day, or would have been if he allowed himself to be. I bet in his Hogwarts days, he made himself a misfit.'

Hermione looked up as she ran into Harry because of a sudden stop. She tried to figure out what it was that made Snape stop but she would never know.

Hermione suddenly saw a great light and Professor Snape thrown back wards. It was then that the light turned red, coming straight at her! What happened next was a blur but she did know that Harry and Ron jumped in front of her and took the blast. The next thing she knew they were lying, not moving, on the ground next to her and Death Eaters were emerging from the forest; Snape grabbed her and ran for the castle.

End of Flashback

There she was now, guilty of murder for not being fast enough to move out of the way herself; they died for her and it was her fault Harry couldn't save the world. When the she and Snape made it back to the castle Dumbledore informed them that Death Eaters had taken over the Ministry and that all was most likely lost. That scared her the most; even Dumbledore had given up hope.

Molly looked over at Hermione and she knew she was blaming her for her son's death. Hermione couldn't brood over this thought, if she did she would lose control and break down in tears; she had to set an example and help raise spirits. Slowly she gets up and leaves the Great Hall. The second she clears the doors she smacks into the something hard and solid and looks up into the eyes of her Potions Professor. She took a step back and noticed something about him was different, something just didn't fit. Suddenly she realized Snape...was a teenager again!?

A/N: I know this chapter is short but I am hoping the next chapters will be longer. I hoped you liked it and please review...please?!
