"Oh I am sure it will fit." Narcissa commented handing a breezy dress to a long thin woman with a round belly. "Oh Cissy, I do not think this will work. I'm huge." She complained, her green eyes showing her disgust as she tried to zip it but it didn't work out. It stopped half way and didn't move without taking skin with it. Narcissa's mouth moved into a tight lipped frown, "Blasted barbed peckers!", Shouted a male voice from the outside. Narcissa pinched her neck lightly to stop herself from shouting at the male outside "Please get Adrian to stop making such a fuss." She asked the woman who rolled her eyes at her friend.

"Adrian! Zip it!" She shouted at the door before throwing off the dress in disgust "I hate this, Why can't I look like a normal pregnant woman?" She hissed her eyes turned glassy as she moved her wedding band around her ring finger it was loose because of the lack of weight on her. "Melanie." Narcissa said softly her heart was just as broken as the woman who stood in front of her since her own husband and son were in Azkaban. "Its not fair... After all he did for this world and his memorial will be filled with hate and disgust instead of pride and tears." She stated her hand moving over her enlarged stomach were her child kicked hard in response to its mothers feelings. Melanie had to be thankful of this child, her miracle and that he knew of the child before he was killed by that monster.

"I do not know how you do it. At least Lucius and Draco are still alive.." Narcissa said then winced as a tear skated down the cheek of the younger woman. "Thank Circe for that."She responded as if it was a trained act. "I'm sorry for my words, I.." Narcissa was interrupted "I am blessed to have this baby, I remember a time I was lucky to have him and this baby but everything works out for a reason. I cling to that hope." She said her voice wavering deeply as she cleared her throat and brushed away the tears that pooled out of her eyes. Narcissa nodded "Let us get you ready then Mrs Snape." she stated her eye on the maternity dress she wore with Draco years ago.

"For me?"She asked he raised an eyebrow "Give it to Narcissa will you." He remarked trying to joke but it sounded almost dry as she noticed the slight curve of his mouth and smiled "I think Narcissa won't like it, I'll spare her the pain of having to deal with a petty gift." She winked as she ripped open the paper and stared at the box before her stomach rolled around as she lifted up the lid and a necklace stared at her.

It was a pretty silver with a large round moonstone in the center it pulsed in the air as it drawled in magical energy and it had a slight ring to it as she picked it up. "Why is it pulsing like that?"She asked touching the moonstone "They store energy but this one has a brother and the two were created for the purpose of protection." Severus explained showing a solid sliver band with a few places of were a moonstone had been embedded into it. "If either of us feel like we are in harms way then we only think of the person who has the sibling and we will be transported to them." He said Melanie had tears in her violet eyes as she said "So they can protect the other." Severus nodded and Melanie reached and pulled herself into his lap her arms wrapped around his neck as she felt protected in his strong embrace.

Severus wasn't as big as Max that was for sure but she knew there was power in the tight muscle and the scars that crossed over his back and arms was any clue to the pain he had endured in the past. She was glad that he would never be harmed like that again with Voldemort being gone. "I love you, Severus." She said softly she had never told him but showed him how much she felt but she had to say it. Severus looked down at the small woman and pulled her tighter into his arms "I love you too." He said in almost a whisper.

If only she still could say that she thought as she stood beside Harry who looked up at her "I'm still trying to get use to you being older and not under that potion." He told her Melanie laughed but it didn't reach her eyes mostly it was for show and Harry knew this and understands the feeling. "I'm only twenty six, Harry." She commented with a smile and then it fell as hard as a rock as the casket floated up to the pit and sat there floating. Harry watched as Melanie broke down her sobs even broke the hearts of the hateful people on the boundaries of the yard.

"Today we honor a man who left a widow and a unborn child. I have been asked by the ministry to announce that this man, Severus Snape, has been freed of all charges and he will be buried a hero to the second war." announced Professor Vector. Melanie cried and the blond beside her that Harry vaguely remembered as Theo pulled her close his hand moving up and down her arms whispering something to her and then he let her go and stood.

"Melanie wishes for me to speak upon her behalf in thanking everyone for coming. Personally I think we all do not need to be thanked. Most of us hated or even despised him as a teacher when we were in Hogwarts Potions or Defense, but I know that later on we thanked him for drilling the uses of Mugwort or the need for certain cauldrons. He taught us better than any Potions Master ever had and this school will miss a special addition to its ranks." He spoke as if he wasn't in school last year.

Harry knew he was Dumbledore's Armies' main potions provider threw out the time of when the school wasn't under attack. All because he could move undetected and he was brilliant with a cauldron. Everyone around them nodded in agreement. Theo gave Harry a very deep look. Even though Harry hated being on the spot he stood. Showing the people beyond the gates that he was there. Shouts started and Harry didn't bother looking at the hordes of people beyond Hogwarts gate. "All I can say is that Severus Snape is the true hero of this war and the last. If it wasn't for his interference and bravery than I and my friends just might have ended up in a bad place." He said with fierce look in his emerald eyes as he sat down and touched Melanies knee.

She turned and hugged him, whispering thanks to Harry who ignored the feeling of wet cheeks. He returned her hug and promised to check in on her. He knew her pregnancy was frail and almost killing her the way it made her small frame shrink away until she was just a shell.

Theo helped Melanie into bed and smiled at his oldest friend. "Adrian will be in tomorrow with Marcus, They plan on visiting." Theo told Melanie who nodded, her eyes puffy and red from crying. The violet color that made up her eyes looked like muted stone "Are you hungry?"He asked. Melanie shook her head, "No but get me some toast. I probably need something to eat." She told her friend who shook his head "I'll just give you your potion and then tomorrow we will fix a good dinner." He told her. She didn't reply as he got the potion and came back in to her touching the moonstone ring her eyes tearing up "Melanie, Here is the potion." He watched as she took it and without looking at it drank it.

It spoke volumes about her trust in Theo which he felt blessed for. Theo couldn't see himself alive without Melanie. Actually, if not for Melanie and Mrs Malfoys' quick action then his father would have killed him. He couldn't help the memories that surfaced. His fathers angry face as Theo held the broken photo frame of his deceased mother...

"You fucking disgrace!" Shouted Axl Nott and he threw his son into the stairs and watched him tumble down like a broken doll his, face bruised and slices of glass were in his cheek and hands as he tried to get up on his fathers command. "I should have killed you when you took my wife from me!" He cussed as he gripped Theodore around the neck and lifted the thirteen year old boy easily off of the ground. "Please daddy..!" Theo was begging for his life and he knew it didn't help his case as his father snarled at him. "Please?! You're a pureblooded man... beg?! Why don't you take it like a man hmm?" His father had lost it as he raised his arm and Theo felt a blinding pain as his head hit the stone walls of the Nott castle.

Melanie went with Severus to the Malfoys, a usual for them but this day had a dark cover over it. Melanie, in her twenty three year old body, kissed Narcissa on the cheek and greeted Lucius with a nod. He returned it then fled with Severus into his private study. Melanie soon found herself outside chatting with Narcissa about everything until a man who resembled Theo walked up with a mean looking cut across his face. Theo dangled limply, his body almost unrecognizable. "You take this stupid fuck, I can't stand him anymore." He cursed as Narcissa made a noise of disgust and knelt beside Theo.

Melanie reacted like anybody would seeing her best friend hurt and on the ground. She pulled out her wand and cursed the man hard in the back, making him land on the ground, coughing up blood "How dare you do that!" Melanie shrieked, her necklace pulsing madly, alerting Severus to her anger if it wasn't enough to have her magical energy flickering around her. "He's my son!" Melanie looked at the man with horror "Not any more, Axl. Lucius and I will see to that." Narcissa hissed her light blue eyes wild. "Melanie let him up." Lucius replied cooly. Melanie kicked the man hard in the ribs and to the surprise of everyone there including Severus the mans ribs caved in. Melanie a small woman had broken Axls ribs and it sounded as if it had punctured a lung because of the gurgling the large man was making.

Melanie went over to Theo who groaned in pain "Severus we have to help him." She begged her boyfriend who glared at Axl and then looked over at the broken boy. "Are you going to help him?" Lucius asked, his cold, grey eyes washing over Axl with disgust. "I'd call a healer at least before the heart implodes." Severus remarked before watching as his small girlfriend lifted Theo up holding on to him tightly. Then Severus saw it a brief glimmer of gold in those violet eyes, he knew what this meant in a instant as if someone had handed him a book filled with the richest potions in the world.

"Let us take him into a private room." He spoke to his girlfriend who nodded sharply and moved up the staircase as if she wasn't walking but floating up the staircase. Severus watched and stared at Melanie's back his eyes watching and waited to see something that wasn't their and he then realized that the blood must be sparse in Melanie but it was still awoken by seeing her best friend broken. He mused over the seemingly easy way that Melanie laid Theo down on the bed her eyes torn in half by the gold and brilliant violet. "Severus, you can help him right? He looks so broken..." She ventured off her voice was now more like a bell the way it carried a snare of power that made Severus jolt out of his mind and get to work on helping his student.

"He will live but emotionally he will hold great scares. I am afraid that Axl has never quite adjusted to his wife's sacrifice. Choosing Theo over herself and dying in the act of producing the heir to the House of Nott." He said as he weaved the strongest healing spell he knew. "I don't feel sorry for him, am I a bad person Severus, to feel no remorse over a man who would hurt his only connection to his wife?" Melanie asked he noticed the gold had started to shrink away in her eyes as she looked worried over her lack of empathy. "No, it means you understand that Theo didn't deserve this and that you do not pity a man who would do this to a child." Severus replied more proud of Melanie then ever before. To show this he leaned over and kissed her deeply before helping the boy.

Melanie sat beside Theo's bed, not moving from it even when Severus had told her too. She watched and waited for the blonde to open his eyes and show her that he was okay. Coming from a muggle family and only reading about magical medical briefly in her first year, it was over whelming to see the spells flying around the room making Theo seem smaller and frail. She had forgotten that she was about nine years older then him and had never went through what he must have. He grew up because he had to survive. Melanie only had to because it was life. Harry flashed through her mind in the back of her eyes. She had tears there, thinking about what those muggle might do to him over the summer.

Theo murmured "Stop" in his sleep acquiring Melanies attention once more. In that short span of time she had yelled at Narcissa for knowingly letting Theodore get abused by his own father for which the Narcissa shouted back telling her that Draco told her. Theo would never talk about the abuse, which meant that Narcissa and even Lucius, with all of his power, could do nothing about it. "Melanie?" She jolted out of her mind and watched as Theo looked at her with his one good eye. The other was so bruised it had swollen shut. "Its me." She told him. Her face twisted in worry as she took in her best friend. "You look older." He commented before his eyes rolled back into his head and he convulsed on the bed. Melanie screamed...

Theo fixed himself a small but adequate dinner in his old professor's kitchen that held a touch of Melanie with in it. Mostly the decadent spices that Mr. Malfoy had bought for her in France. Which was the center of the spices that came from almost all around the world. Theo could remember his recovery that summer when he had thought he had saw Melanie as an older woman. His mind had been so jumbled he could only conclude that he had been hallucinating. Of course somethings at that time just didn't seem right. The long looks that Professor Snape would give her and the way that Melanie would talk to the Professor when she thought that Theo was just out of ear shot. Theo mused over the happier memory, his plate was the pensive as he reflected back on Melanie's transformation and his first Wizarding Vow.

"Did you sleep well last night?"Melanie asked as she rushed into the room her hair pulled up and on top of her head giving her neck a slender look. Theo raised an eyebrow, wanting to just get this over with. "Melanie, are you and Professor Snape engaged in anything that would get him thrown into Azkaban?" He asked hesitantly, shy of asking in the first place. He didn't like getting involved but he loved Potions and he couldn't stand to see his best friend being hurt by some middle aged man. Melanie frowned, "No. Why on earth would you say something like that Theodore!?" she shouted, standing up and starting to rant to her best friend who watched as Melanie changed before his eyes.

Her hair had a shimmer to it as it curled loosely in the parts that were falling out of the bun. Landing almost to her full breasts that looked tight in the material of the dress that she wore. Her body only grew a couple of inches but her hips had widened and her legs looked long and lean. She no longer looked like a awkward thirteen year old girl but a beautiful young woman. Theo looked shocked as Melanie finished with a "I cannot stand someone who assumes!". She looked at her hand and then turned her head to see herself in the mirror "Oh bullocks!" She said as Theo got out of bed careful as to not disrupt his scars. His face that was usually passive, was now in shock. "I need to explain." She said as he nodded.

Melanie sat on her chair in front of Theo, who had pulled on the usual mask and sat calm, waiting to hear why she was a twenty year old woman posing as a thirteen year old girl. "Do you know about the McKinnon family?" She asked. Theo nodded, it was common knowledge. "Traitors to You-Know-Who, He killed all of them in the old war." Theo said as he watched Melanie frown "Marlene McKinnon is my mother, she was having a child for a mated couple. They both had a creature inheritance and didn't want to introduce a female into their family but still wanted a child. My mother didn't want to deal with a relationship but also wanted a child. I am the product of their thinking, I was taken from my mothers womb two weeks before my due date and sent somewhere. I grew up not knowing magic or anything of my life. Severus...erm.. Professor Snape," Melanie corrected herself as she said, "Gave me my mother's memories. It explains why I am twenty and not the same age as you or Adrian. I am a actual twenty three year old woman. Headmaster decided to let me go to school as a teen letting me take care of Potter even though I have found that I suck at keeping Harry out of trouble."

"You need to learn magic and also baby sit Potter?" Theo asked. Melanie nodded, "I am dating Severus." She blurted out to her best friend who shrugged. "I am guessing he isn't too fond of your new look?" Theo asked. Really hoping that was the case. Melanie nodded fiercely as he sighed and rubbed his face "Well I swear I will not speak of it unless I am allowed to by you or Professor Snape." He said and shivered as he made his first Magical vow. "Why did you do that?" Melanie asked her mature face set in a familiar look. "Because even though I am not the most popular wizard in school, I still know that things are going to happen and I don't want to have anything betray your trust in me." He said as he took Melanie's hand and gave it a kiss "Now please take the potion, I'll see you down stairs." He told her. Melanie smiled and walked out of the room to faced Severus who had heard everything. "I see he took it fine?" Severus asked knowing his woman wanted for the boy to know.

Melanie smiled "Yes he did." She replied before slinking off to take the rest of her potion. Her eyes shimmering gold before quickly disappearing. Severus smirked, "My, you should had been in Slytherin." He muttered before opening the door, his face set in a harsh look. "Good Morning Mister Nott.".

Theo walked into his room and shut the door. His body was exhausted as he slipped under the warm fabric of the bed. He knew soon Melanie would be awake and needing her potion. Then he had to pick up Adrian and his 'friend' Marcus. Just before the sleep claimed him he prayed to whatever was out their that Melanie would find happiness again, because she deserved it most of all.
