Hey guys this is my first fan fic, so I would appreciate some reviews on this chapter, constructive criticism only, please. Post War.
I don't own Harry Potter, I'll just borrow them from time to time.
The war was over. It had been the combined efforts of Harry, Ron, Hermione and surprisingly Severus Snape that had been the ones to kill Voldemort, with Harry landing the prophesized killing blow. This changed each of them drastically, Hermione was no exception.
She wasn't the same after that, something died in her that night. Ron and Hermione had started dating later on that year and it grew serious when, months later, Hermione fell pregnant with twins. Sebastian and Scarlet Weasley.
Scarlet had been graced with the trademark Weasley hair, silky in texture while Sebastian had Hermione's infamous –although more manageable- curly brown locks. Both children had a light dusting of freckles on their round angelic faces.
About two months later Hermione and Ron got married. Due to Molly's persistence, it was a big wedding. Severus, Minavera and Albus attended the wedding also. Severus was not as happy to be there as Minavera and Albus but admirably made the best of the bad situation he had been dragged into.

Harry and Ginny had been dating for about a year now and Harry still hadn't asked Ginny to marry him.
"Don't worry Ginny, Harry's just shy is all," stated Hermione as she and Ginny watched Sebastian and Scarlet playing on the rug from the safety of the couch in the living room of The Burrow. And safety of the couch was right; Sebastian was throwing his cars around and several times almost hit his poor sister.
"I know, it's just mum keeping bugging me about when he's gonna propose and it's driving me up the wall," said an aggravated Ginny as she got up off the couch and paced in front of the couch. "Merlin, if she mentions it one more time I'm really gonna have to restrain myself from hexing her mouth off."
"Calm down Ginny, it's surely not that bad, she's just anxious to get everyone together honestly, if she had her way I think cupid would be out of job," joked Hermione, pleased when she provoked a laugh from the redhead.
"I think you're right, I mean I know she's my mum but she just never shuts up, I mean you know how it is, she nagged you and Ron for three months straight," Ginny ranted on, still pacing up and down.
"Ginny sit down, you'll wear out the carpet" Hermione coaxed gently and firmly gripped the woman's wrist to pull her down onto the couch, where, after a moment of hesitation, the redhead acquiesced and sat down with a sigh.
"I get it, trust me it's annoying, but it will give Harry the push he needs because if there is one thing Harry can't stand it's you being upset, even if it's with your own mum" said Hermione still trying to cheer Ginny up.
Molly entered the Burrow, with lots of shopping bags and trailing behind her was Ron and Fred, each of them carrying shopping bags as well.
"For Melin's sake love, did you buy the shop as well?" asked Arthur when he saw all the bags layering every available surface in the kitchen.
"No, just the things we needed," said an exhausted Molly, walking through to the living room and flopping down into her chair.
"Oh! Hermione! How nice to see you, and you've brought my grandchildren, how are my babies?" exclaimed Molly, looking down at the grinning faces of the twins.
Both Scarlet and Sebastian were three and a half now, Sebastian's hair was curls galore and Scarlet's had only seemed to get more and more red.
"Granny!" both children cried in unison as they ran over to Molly and attempted to scramble onto her knee while trying to shove the other out the way.
Ron stood in the door frame of the living room, watched his kids in awe and then managed to utter a quiet "I thought that they were supposed to be tired after playing all day."
Hermione stood up and made her way over to Ron and put her arms around his waist. Smiling she leaned in to him and whispered "That's only if they don't have a nap, have fun putting them to bed in an hour" she teased. Ron laughed and snuggled into his wife with a grin.
"What makes you think that I'm putting them down tonight?" asked Ron looking at Hermione, quite bewildered.
"Because Ginny and I are going to Hogwarts to see Professor McGonagall, so we won't be back for quite a while," Hermione stated as she gave Ron a peck on his cheek and made her way over to her children.
"Scarlet, Sebastian, please be good for daddy whilst mummy and auntie Ginny are away" cooed Hermione as she knelt down to their eye level.
"Yes mummy, we'll be good," intoned Scarlet and Sebastian, voices filled with such childish innocent that it bordered on suspicious but Hermione simply smiled indulgently as her children wrapped their little arms around her legs in an attempt to hug her.
Hermione gave a startled cry as she wobbled precariously with her legs trapped and not too surprisingly, fell over, laughter filling the room as the two children began to tickle her mercilessly.
Ron stood in the doorway, laughing jovially at the sight, his deep laughter echoing through the room along with Molly's and Fred's. Arthur came through from the kitchen at the noise and laughed out as well at the antics that greeted him.
But knowing Hermione was going out, Ron grabbed the little terrors and carried them over to the couch next to Molly's chair and flopped down. Red faced, Hermione picked herself up and dusted off her trousers still smiling before she turned her attention back to her children.
"Bye my little monsters," joked Hermione as she waved goodbye to her children and walked over to Ron and gave him a kiss and whispered "See you later, Honey, and make sure they don't stay up too late" in his ear. With that said, Hermione and Ginny walked out of the Burrow, took a few steps out of the wards that protected the house and then apparated to Hogwarts.

Hermione and Ginny appeared at the edge of the wards surrounding the school with a loud 'pop' which badly startled the nearby Remus who had been making his rounds. The sudden appearance of the two women made the poor werewolf jump. Stumbling, the man –unfortunately not so swift on his feet anymore- tripped over a hidden rock, and fell face first to the ground with a thud and muffled grunt.
"Oh Remus!" Ginny exclaimed as the two women rushed to help the man to his feet again.
"Professor Lupin, can you hear me?" asked Hermione frantically. "God damnit, Remus, wake up!"
"Mione, why won't he wake up?" asked Ginny, getting more anxious as the seconds ticked by.
"Lets get him to Poppy, she'll wake him up and if not well, we've always got McGonagall, I'm sure that she'll wake him up by yelling at us," stated Hermione, heaving Remus up and placing his arm around her neck.
"Well, don't just stand there, help me!" shouted Hermione as she tried to make her way back upto the castle.
Ginny was still standing, routed to the spot. Hermione got to the main entrance, turned round only to see that Ginny fall to the floor. Hermione felt a trickle of something warm going down the back of her neck. Hermione struggled through the castle on her way to the hospital wing.
"God damnit, Remus you really need to lose weight," Hermione muttered as she turned a corner and bumped into someone, making her lose her balance and fall to the floor, causing Remus to fall onto Hermione, crushing her into the floor.
"Watch where you're going, you idiot!" shouted Snape, failing to notice who it was lying on the stone floor and turned to stalk away, when he heard the person on the floor, start to speak.
"For Melins sake, Remus you weigh a ton!" moaned Hermione only just managing to push Remus off.
"Miss... Granger?"
"Well done, now can you help me, before someone else knocks me over, and makes our oh so loveable werewolf flatten me again?" stated a now infuriated Hermione getting up, and dusting herself down.
"What did you just say?!" hollered Snape, moving right into Hermione's face.
"Look, can we argue later, Remus needs to get to the hospital wing, I've got to find Ginny, and then I need to apologise to Remus once he wakes up, then apologise to McGonagall for missing the meeting, so if you wouldn't mid helping just now and yell at me later, please?" a hint of desperation entering her voice. Hermione tried to move away but Snape grabbed her arm, not letting her move away any time soon, Snape had a death grip on Hermione's arm. Hermione sucked in a breath as
"Where's that Gryffindor courage?" asked Snape sneering at her, not noticing that he was hurting her.
"It's waiting for you to stop acting all Slytherin, and help me," huffed an irate Hermione. Hermione yanked her arm out of Snape's grasp, causing her to lose balance and fall to the floor, yet again.
"Fine, I'll help you but you might want to get up," mocked Snape, giving Hermione a stare that would send Neville running for the hills.
"Thank you for agreeing to help me, this might be pushing it a bit but could you go and find Ginny, I think she might of fainted when she saw the blood," asked Hermione getting up and brushing off the dust and mud off her robes.
"I think not, you can go and find Miss Weasley, while I take Lupin here, to the Hospital wing," said Snape crouching down and attempting to grab Remus but Hermione moved so that she was in the way.
"Look, Professor, he's bleeding and I've already got some blood on my robes, and plus I got him up here myself, so I can get him to the Hospital wing, but Ginny on the other hand has probably fainted, seen as how your better at duelling than me, it's logical that you go out and find her," stated Hermione, as she turned round, grabbed Remus, pulled him up and placed his arms around her neck, nodded at Snape and left for the Hospital Wing.
Snape was now fuming as he left to go and look for Ginny, thinking angry thoughts as he went.
Who the hell does she think she is, ordering me around like that? The nerve of that... that... that Gryffindor know-it-all.
You got to admit it was rather sexy the way she ordering you about, man and she looks sexy as well. Snape stopped in his tracks; I did not just think that. Snape shook his head and then continued stalking down the gravel path, his robes billowing behind him.
"Poppy! Poppy, I need your Help!"
Poppy came rushing out of her office and instantly directed Hermione to a bed. Hermione managed to get Remus onto the bed, with a little help from Poppy.
"Ok now that he's here, what happened my dear?" asked Poppy looking rather confused.
"Me and Ginny apparated to Hogwarts to visit Professor McGonagall and Remus was startled by the noise and I think he tripped over and fell hitting his head but that's all I know," said Hermione looking over to Remus, who was lying on the bed.
"I hope he's found Ginny."

Snape was still scouring the grounds to find Ginny.
Melins Sake where is she, if I return without Miss Weasley, then Her-
A scream shook Snape form his thoughts, "Help, somebody HELP!"
