She will be Loved

Hogwarts was as grand and majestic as it had always been. Towers rising high into the sky. The grounds green as ever with the same strange animals outside Hagrid's house. It had not changed at all in the past year.

Except for one part of the grounds. It now contained a small cemetery where the bodies of the dead who were loyal to the light in the battle now lay.

Many had died, on both sides, but life had moved on, a new generation was starting, that very day in fact. It was time to say good bye to the past, to those who had died.

Severus Snape

One man had come to Severus Snape's grave, Harry Potter.

He walked down from the castle where he was currently residing and made his way down to the cemetery, just past the Whomping Willow.

He found Snape's grave and stood in front of it, silent.

"Your daughter was born today Severus. Serafina Catriona Snape."

What a way to use his first name. The man is dead and is still being informed of the birth of his daughter.

"Sera is so beautiful. She already has black frizz for hair and ten of the tiniest fingers and toes you could imagine. Eyes that are so black and deep you could almost lose yourself in them."

Harry stood still for a minute, a smile on his face.

"You didn't know she was pregnant, she only found out herself hours before the battle."

Harry paused.

"She still loves you. I have no doubt that she always will. You were her soul mate. She only married me because she needed stability. Support. Love."

Harry glanced at the sky, holding back tears.

"Saving her was probably the most noble, loving thing you ever did."

He couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"I love her so much! Even though she can never love me the same way, I will always love her, Serafina as well. I love them both with all my heart and I've only known Sera for a few hours."

Harry felt the tears slow.

"Don't worry about her. No matter what, she and Sera will always be loved. Always!"

Having completed his promise and making the vow he needed too Harry turned and started to make his way back up to the castle, to his wife.

He found her in the Hospital Wing, for once Madam Pomfrey had disappeared.

She was feeding her daughter, a look of pure joy on her face as she watched her daughter feed.

Harry gently sat on the edge of her bed and tenderly kissed his wife on the head.

"I told him."

She looked up at him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Hermione."

Harry paused as he watched Sera.

"I love you Hermione, and Sera."

"I love you too Harry."

However Harry heard the hollowness in her voice, affection was there but not love.

He could live with that.

He loved her and always would.

She will be loved.
