Severus Snape was returning home after another long meeting at the ministry. The war was over and Voldemort had won. The Order put up a valiant fight but the society crumbled after the death of Harry Potter. They all dropped one by one until only Hermione Granger remained. The irony was that it was not Voldemort that killed Harry in the end, but Hermione Granger. The spell that she was working on backfired killing him instantly. Hermione was given to Severus as payment for his loyal service as a cucubine. Severus wiped his tired eyes as he entered their home.
