A/N: I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS STORY.


WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

She stood there in front of the mirror, studying herself, and the form which took over her body. There was the smallest evident of a bump, where the child shae carried was forming inside safely.

Harry leaned against her doorway, and watched his friend, "To bad you don't know who the father is, Mione."

She turned and looked at her friend, and sighed, "Harry, I do-" she started to admit to her friend who the father was, when the front door of there shared apartment opened. She quickly adjusted her blouse to cover her small stomach.

"Harry, mum wants you to come over for dinner before I go back to Hogwarts," Ginny was heard, she stopped in the doorway, and looked in at the other woman, "Mione, mother wants you to come to, she said she doesn't see you to much, unless she is volunteering at St. Mungo's.

Hermione looked nervously at the younger woman, "What did she say she saw me doing?"

"Said you went straight to the elevator, doesn't know which floor you went to exactly," Ginny noticed a new coat in her friends closet, and hurried to look at it, "Mione., this is so cute, can I borrow it sometime."

"Now Ginny you ruined your birthday surprise," Hermione pulled the coat out, and handed it to her friend, "Was going to give you this when I went back to-" she felt her stomach turn, and looked at Harry, who knew exactly what his friend wanted him to do.

"Ginny, I am hungry, would you care to do a side along apperation to Diagon Alley, and join me?"

Ginny smiled at the invitation, she hugged Hermione, who grew even paler, but wasn't noticed as she hurried to join her boyfriend, "Bye Mione," she said without turning to look at her friend.

Harry give his friend a sympathetic look, before leading his girlfriend out of the door, "See you at the Burrow, Mione."

After Hermione finished being sick, she went into the joined living room, dining room, kitchen, and sat on the couch getting ready to enjoy a good read.

Fifteen minutes into reading, there was a tap at the window, which caused the young witch to jump. She took a sigh of relief at seeing it was only an owl delivering a letter.

"Severus, I been worried about you," Minerva said, as she joined the young wizard in the staff room.

"Minerva, you should know by now, that I don't like people worrying about me," He went, and stood in front of the fireplace, with his back to the older woman.

Minerva stood, and went over to where the young man was standing, "Well I decided to hire Miss Granger, to take on Transfiguration for the rest of the year, saying I will be more busy being Headmistress," she noticed his expression change, thinking it to mean he wasn't happy with the idea, "If she does choose to take on the position, I expect you to treat her as an equal," she patted the Potions Master on the back, "Don' t think she would even recognize you though."

He rolled his eyes, "Minerva, I can assure you, that she will recognize me," he looked at the woman for a moment, "I think there is something I should share with you, before she arrives, incase she does decide to arrive, about four months ago-"

Minerva heard the large clock chime, and gasped, "Merlin, I forgot that I have to be at the Ministry at noon," she gave the man one last look, "We'll talk in three days," she assured as she apperated away.

Severus was just about to leave for his dungeons when he heard a soft 'pop' behind him.

"Professor Snape?"

He froze, with his back still to the person, "What can I do for you, Miss Granger?"

"Minerva, she told me to come and join the staff, but I thought I should see how everyone felt about the idea of me working here," The young woman answered in a soft voice.

"Well I am surer Hagrid, and Sprout will be more then happy to have you as part of the staff," HE answered in a voice, which even he had forgotten he had been capable of having. He felt as she started towards him, "And I personally could care less, rather or not you were to teach here or not, I do admit that you filling Minerva's job will be less stress removed from her, but don't go on what others think of you taking this job."

"I care very much about what you think though Severus, after what happened a four months ago," She went to stand in front of him, which caused him to cast his eyes down to his feet.

"What makes you care what I think of the idea," He questioned, slowly looking her in the eyes, noticing on the way her hands covering her stomach, before meeting her eyes, "What does it matter what I think?"

She had looked at him nervously when his eyes reached her stomach, but gave a sigh of relief when he hadn't noticed anything, "Well then I will take the job, once the new classes start, for Minerva," she stared at him for a moment, before apperating out of his sight.

Severus sat back down, forgetting his plans to return to his quarters, he smiled to himself, "She will be with me once again," he remembered his eyes drawn to her stomach, but didn't think much about that information.

FLASHBACK

Hermione was sitting alone at the bar, drinking shots of firewhisky, she looked to had been crying.

He sat beside her, signaling for the bartender to give him his usual, he noticed the young woman staring at him, "Miss Granger, you know it is not nice to stare."

"How do you," She was staring at the man, noticing something familiar about him, but could put her finger on who he was, until she recognized his voice. "Professor Snape?"

"You were expecting maybe, Hagrid?" He asked sarcastically.

"Sorry, but you don't look the same as you did at the battle," She turn her face away from him, and signaled for the bartender to give her another shot.

"Working for Lord Voldamorte, I had to keep a charm on myself to look the part of a death eater, "This is how I look without the charms."

His hair was thick, and had some silver starting at his roots, and his nose and face didn't look as aged as the charms had made it appear to be. He actually, in he opinion looked to be very handsome. He also had his usually black robes, but noticed a green shirt underneath.

"Sorry, just didn't recognize you, until you spoke of course," She looked back at him, "Thought you drank in you dungeons, where no one could see?"

"I do, but decided to go out tonight as a free man," He rolled his eyes, "What are you doing here, aren't you to young to be drinking?"

She grinned, "Nice try, that would be true in the muggle world, but since I am in the magic world, I have been able to drink since seventeen," she leaned in and whispered, "I think this look suits you."

He froze, 'Did she just come on to me?'

'You bet I did,' She answered, reading his thoughts.

Severus stared at the young woman, unaware that she was able to enter people's minds, he grinned, "You Miss Hermione Jane Granger, are drunk."

"You Mister Severus 'whatever your middle name is' Snape, are hot," She grinned as she reached into her purse, and pulled out a vial, "Sober up potion," she took a drink, and smiled at him, "You know," she leaned in, and whispered in his ear once again, "I always had a fantasy of having to have detention with you, and you taking me on you desk in your office," she smiled as he snaked his arms around her small waist.

He looked at her, she was beautiful in his opinion, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, "When did you start getting these fantasies?"

"About the same time you started noticing I was a woman," She giggled when she noticed his surprised expression, "You didn't believe I thought you came to help me, while there were over fifty other students in the class who easily could had blown up a potion. You stared down my blouse?"

His cheeks turned red, "You could have buttoned those top buttons," he started placing soft kisses to her neck.

"Then your wouldn't had come and stood next to me," She said in a tone, which sounded like it was the most obvious thing.

After about thirty minutes of talking, and flirting the two went to the available rooms above the bar.

He used his wand to quickly removed her clothes, as he gently pushed her back onto the bed, "This isn't my desk, or office, but will do for tonight," he slid his hands along her smooth skin, and grinned.

She waved her hand, mumbling something, which caused his clothes to fall off, "Leaned wandless magic for the war," she stared down at his now nude body, as she straddled his lap. "You are even more handsome, then I thought you would be," she kissed all his battle scars, and smiled, "Much better then my dreams."

He wrapped his arms around her waist, and flipped her onto her back, and leaned down and kissed her roughly on her lips, "We haven't even started yet, witch," he positioned himself slowly between her legs, and grinned when he heard her moan. He had her arms pinned behind her head, as he moved in her, "You feel good witch," he grinned, as she moaned out his name.

After they had sex, the two laid in the bed, still holding each other in there arms, waiting for sleep to catch them.

END OF FLASHBACK

'Why didn't I stay until she woke up?' He cursed himself, remembering how he left the sleeping naked young woman alone, 'I need to talk to her.'

He thought of the young woman, and with a loud 'pop' apperated away.

Hermione appeared in front of the burrow, and looked out at the lake, and at a the three plots, where the three Weasley Sons laid. She walked over to them, staring at Fred's, Bill's, and finally knelt down in front of Ron's. She transfigured a near stick to become a rose, and placed it on top of Ron's plot, "Why did you have to leave me Ronald Weasley?"
