Note: Hermione's birthday is of course September 19, 1979. She is a year older than the other students. Remember she used the time turner in third year. She gained a year and is 19 years old. But for the fun I'll say for her fourth year she used the time turner and she gained another and is 20 years old. Severus and Hermione are ten years apart instead of twenty years.

One Thousand Years

~*~

The noise of loud armor sounded outside the walls of the castle. The war for the castle was on the raise. The Dark Magic that surrounded by the dark creatures had their advantage on the light. The side of light were loosing men at an alarming rate.

Merlin swept down the corridors with his brown robes blowing behind him. He had to get to his wife, Ninaway and his only daughter. He had to place his daughter somewhere safe away from the war that raged out the walls. Merlin ducked when a window shattered and bolder flew over his head and cracked the wall behind him.

"Sir Nicolas!" Merlin called and the man ran up to the wizard.

"You asked for my assistance Master Merlin?"

"Yes. Get the Friar out of the Chapel now!" he yelled over the clanking armor.

Nicolas bowed slightly at the wizard and ran to the second floor. Merlin continued his way to the third floor to his bed chambers. He prayed he'd reach his family in time.

Merlin reached his chamber and ran into the room and found a solider on the bed and had Ninaway pinned down on the mattress with his sword at her throat. The wizard waved his hand and the solider flew against the hard stone wall but just before he hit the wall his sword ran across her throat killing her instantly. Merlin's blue eyes blazed with anger. He waved his hand and the soldier's heart stopped beating and died instantly.

Merlin ran over to his wife and kissed her gently on the lips. He grabbed his screaming daughter from her cradle and wrapped her up in blanket. He ducked when windowed shattered.

"I have to get you away from here," and swept from the room throwing spells at the enemy.

Merlin stopped at a statue that guarded the entrance to his office. He ran his hand over the statue and it jumped aside. He stepped onto the moving staircase and vanished with a flash of white light.

Merlin appeared in front of the gates of the castle. "The castle still stands. It should I help lay ever stone." he told his daughter. The gates magically opened and the wizard stepped through and onto the grounds. "My wards are still strong."

Albus, Minerva and Severus walked around the castle repairing the wards for the up coming school year. The headmaster looked around when he felt the wards go off. He walked over to the man. He had long wavy blue eyes, tone skin and wore ancient brown robes.

Merlin laid his hand onto the stone wall. He saw flashes of the war that raged on when he left his time. He saw his death and when the castle was named Hogwarts School Witchcraft and Wizardry. The many students that passed through the halls.

Merlin lowered his hand and opened his eyes. He saw a man with long sliver white hair and beard. He had bright blue eyes behind his half moon shape glass that were on his crooked nose. He was dressed in blue star robes. He held a kind strong magical aura. He introduced himself as the headmaster of Hogwarts School Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore.

A man with jet black hair that stopped at his chin, pale skin, deep nearly black eyes, tall and wore black robes. He held a dark aura but had a good soul. He introduced himself as Severus Snape.

A woman with brown hair that was pulled back in a strict bun. She had tone skin, brown eyes and wore deep green robes. She had strong powerful aura. She introduced herself as Minerva McGonagall.

"May I help you sir?" Albus asked and looked down at the bundle that was in the man's arms.

"Yes, I believe you can, sir. I am Master Merlin. I have traveled one thousand years into the future. Here in my time we are at war. My daughter," he lowered the blanket. "she needs to be safe. I know you are at war as we speak, but her destiny lays here in this century."

Minerva looked down at the baby. She had brown curly hair, pale skin, bright brown eyes. She had a few freckles on her nose. Minerva smiled gently. "She is beautiful Master Merlin. How old?"

"Hermione is one of age." He turned to Severus. "Severus Snape you shall be Lady Hermione of Babylon's guard." he held out his only daughter. "Take Hermione into arms." Severus gently took her from her father. "I dim you worthy, Dark Angel. A Dark Angel is one with a dark aura but one with a good a soul. The last of Dark Angels was one of my very students, Salazar Slytherin." "You are Hermione's Dark Angel." Merlin said and Severus felt a shot of pain in his back around and between his shoulder blades. Merlin pulled out a diamond necklace with wings. "This shall be your connection Dark Angel. Give this to her Before her seventh year here. Find her a good and loving home. Hermione's birthday is 29 of September. Here it will 19 of September 1979." Merlin gently rubbed his daughter's hand with his thumb. "I leave you in good hands, my daughter. I shall watch over you from the heavens above with your beloved mother." he kissed his daughter, turned around and vanished with a flash of white light.

Severus looked down into the pair bright brown eyes and Hermione smiled and grabbed his finger with her small hand. Albus told them to follow him to his office.

Severus sat down in an arm chair with sleeping Hermione in his arms. Albus's eyes twinkled at the child. Minerva sat down next to the couple. They waited for Albus to begin. They didn't have a clue where was safest place for the only daughter and heir of Master Merlin.

Albus pressed his fingers together. "I have a couple in mind. They can't have children of their own. They've been friends of mine for a few years. They are muggle but very good people. They understand the magical world. Their names are John and Jane Granger."

"It would be safest for now Headmaster. She is not safe here." said Severus. "Master Merlin place this task a pond me and shall do my best to protect her."

Minerva wanted to protest and tell them that it was outrageous to have the soul remaining heir of Merlin to live as a muggle. She thought about it and realized that the men were completely correct about taking her away from the wizarding world.

"When do we go tell the Grangers'?" Minerva asked Albus.

"We can go now. If you wish."

"Now's good." Severus voiced wanting to get the child away from him.

Albus chuckled at this Potions Master. "He better get use to the child. He'll have to protect her." he thought. "Very well Severus we'll go now since you are so persistent on the matter."

They walked to the gates of the school and were gone with a faint pop.
