This is my first try on writing a story about Hermione and Severus. Many characters are ooc in a way you will notice at the very beginning.
I own nothing except the story and some of the characters. If I did, no one of the good would die in the end.
I should tell you that English is not my native language, I'm from Sweden so don't be too hard of the spelling and such.
Why Me
Chapter 1
In her seventh year at Hogwarts, Hermione is called to Headmasters office.
-You wanted to see me Grandfather? (Yes he is her grandfather)
-Yes my dear, come in.
-Can you tell me why I'm here?
-I will tell you in time, we are just waiting for Severus.
There is a knock on the door and Snape walks in.
-I'm here Albus, what did you want?
Snape turns around and sees Hermione.
-Severus, Hermione come here and have a sit.
-Now tell me what you want me here for.
-Yes Grandfather, why are we here?
-Calm down both of you and I will tell you. I have received a message from the ministry about the new marriage law. They have decided that you two have to get married in five months from today. I know that it comes as a chock, but I'm sorry there is nothing I can do about it.
-But grandfather, why me? I don't love him and I'm sure he doesn't love me.
-Please wait Hermione.
He stands up from his chair and takes her hands.
-I need to tell you something. The truth is that I do love you and have done so since the first time I saw you. You are the sunshine in my life and I can't imagine my life without you.
Hermione looks at Severus with tears in her eyes.
-I'm sorry Severus, I can't do this.
She runs out from Dumbledores office an in to her private bedchambers. She throws herself on the bed and cries he heart out.
