Making a Life Worthwhile
A.N~ This is a Harmony fanfic and I love reviews for it. I love them as a couple and can see them lasting and it's even better now that Rowling has said she should have paired them together. I saw a Hinny one like this and it gave me the idea for this one and I wanted to try my hand at it. The Hinny fanfic is called "Second Chance at Life"
Prologue
Hermione was tired. There was too many dead to identify and not enough time in the day to do it. Professor Snape's body was brought to the school and a faint very faint pulse was found and now several hours later Hermione was walking away to get some rest and recover from helping Poppy with the injured. She was well aware that Ron was looking for her mostly because they had kissed, but the kiss had been born from relief in destroying another Horcrux and not because she cared about Ron anymore. That ship had sailed the year before when Ron had been with Lavender.
Hermione admitted to being upset when Ron left during the hunt, mostly because of how everyone was dying and Ron hadn't sworn a secrecy oath to Harry or her about the existence of the Horcrux.'s. With a weary sigh Hermione settled in the Room of Requirement with a heavy sigh. Her body was so tired but she needed a bath. Heading to the large bathroom next to the small living area she stripped as she filled the tub and got into the hot water and let her stress fall away with all the dirt and blood on her body. Once she was clean and she was dried off she looked through the potions provided to use and added one to her hair to reduce the frizz in in before drying it and smiled for the first time at the reflection back at her. Dressing in clothing provided by the room she crawled into the bed and slept.
Harry had wandered through the school for hours, most of it spent helping send out letters to the remaining family members, sometimes even talking to them personally about their son or daughter. He had made his way, now long past midnight to the Gryffindor common room and stopped short seeing the Weasley family sleeping. Creeping past them he went to the first empty room he saw before showering and falling into the waiting bed until morning.
He felt sorry for the Weasley family but they needed time to grieve and plan the funerals for the members of the family that had passed away. Not to mention they were going to need time to grieve. He was going to stay out of the way and let them heal the best he could then go back to the family and spend time with them. No matter how many times he was told he was not a member of the family and wasn't going to intrude.
Meanwhile in the hospital wing Severus Snape was laying there awake and wishing he wasn't anymore. He had done his part in the war and he wanted to end his life and pass on, see if he was forgiven by Lily and see his mother once more. He had burned the candle at both ends for years trying to keep up the act that he had set in place long ago. Sighing he tried to fall back to sleep, not noticing the two people slip into the hospital wing and into the potion cupboard together before making their way to his bed. They didn't want the former potion's master around anymore than the man wanted to be around. Creeping to the correct bed the eased the exhausted man's chin open and poured the potion down his throat before setting the vile on the bedside table and left the hospital wing, content with the knowledge that the man would be dead come morning.
In fact that was far from the truth.
