Amazing Grace

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,"

Hermione prayed for Severus' soul.

"That saved a wretch like me"

She prayed that his mistake of becoming a Death Eater so many years ago was paid in full.

"I once was lost,…"

She prayed for the safe journey of his soul.

"…but now I'm found,"

She prayed to God that he (or she) had found Severus and showed him the way.

"Was blind, but now I see."

She prayed that although he made a mistake in his youth he was able to recognize the errors of his ways and she hoped for a peaceful journey to the other side.

As the war raged around her, Hermione held onto Severus' dead body, praying that his soul was in a peaceful place and one day soon they would be joined together.

BANG

Then Hermione suddenly saw her lover's extended arm, greeting her into Heaven.

Looking back, she saw everyone, Harry, Ron, Minerva, the Weasleys, Remus, Tonks, hovering over the lovers' bodies.

She turned away and smiled seeing Severus, and behind him Albus and Sirus, knowing that she would be happy forever.
