I'm glad so many of you liked the first chapter and I hope you like this one as well.

Hermione started opening her eyes, the room was dismal. She was rocking her head straining to think of what happened and how she ended up on the floor with Severus on top of her. "Get off me." She was pushing his body off her. He started opening his eyes, he looked down at her.

"Why are you under me?"

"You broke the vial for the potion and we must have passed out, now get off!"

"The thought of getting off with you does appeal to me." He was standing up as her cheek became reddish, she stood up and brushed off her robes. "Maybe later." He winked at her.

Hermione was trying to control her breathing. "What time is it?" The room they were standing in was dark. "Lumos." Her wand sparked with a light as Severus eyes grew wide as they both looked round.

"This isn't my lab." He was looking around as Hermione opened the door in the corner. Instead of leading out to the classroom it lead to the hallway.

"It seems the lab now takes up the classroom space." Hermione closed the door and turned to Severus. "Where are we?"

"We are still in the castle but I have no idea what happened to my classroom." Hermione moved closer to him. They heard voices in the hall and the door blew off into the lab.

"Both of you down on the floor now." Hermione couldn't see who was talking as she got on the floor next to Severus.

"What do we have here?" Hermione knew that voice, it was Crabbe but he had died nine years ago. She felt Severus moved, she didn't dare move her head to find out why. She felt a wand on the back of her neck.

"Lord Snape, my apologies." She was being pulled off the floor by the man behind her. "Lady Snape, I had no idea. We suffered a break in by the Order a few weeks ago. They took a bunch of poisons, we can't be two careful with people down here anymore." Crabbe and Goyle were kneeling in front of them. Hermione turned to Severus, who looked just as befuddled as she was.

"You are forgiven." Hermione looked down at them. They nodded, they must be used to her doing all the talking.

"You will not tell her majesty will you?" Goyle was looking at them.

"Why would we?" Hermione smiled at them.

Crabbe stood up and set the door back as Goyle moved them into the hallway. "Lord Snape we will have your lab in working order again." They started walking down the hall when Goyle stopped and looked at them. "Lady Snape, you walk in front of your master now?" He whispered softly into her ear. "You will keep me from being punished and I will repay the favor."

"I forgot I am sorry." Hermione looked at Severus, who shrugged, Hermione took a few steps back behind Severus. Goyle kept talking to them as they made their way out of the dungeons of the castle. As they walked up the stairs Hermione noticed the guards on the stairs at attention. The castle looked the same, but something was amiss. Severus didn't say two words as they moved through the castle to the Entrance Hall.

Hermione was shocked by the number of people who were standing in the Entrance Hall, she acknowledged some of them as they walked in. The Entry Hall had tapestries hanging on the walls, green and black flowers were all over. Severus grabbed her hand as Nott Sr. moved closer to them, she had killed him during the final war. How could he be up and walking about? Following behind Nott was his son and a few other men, most of the men moved in groups around the room talking to each other.

"Severus old man." Nott Sr. made is way over. "I had taken you for dead, her majesty will be happy to see you. I see your pet made it." Nott sneered at him as he bowed and made his way to another group of men.

"Severus?" Hermione was looking up at him, his face was set in stone. Severus saw the blond hair, making its way towards them.

"Hermione, Lucius is here." Severus was in her ear. Hermione nodded at him and held him tighter. The Lucius in her time had just been released from Azkaban, he was civil to her but that was it.

"Severus." Lucius looked the same as when she saw him in the book store in the second year. He was followed by Blaise, Draco, a brown hair man, Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange. "I knew you weren't dead, Hermione I knew you would keep him safe." Lucius grabbed her hand, she saw something in his eye. He knew they didn't belong there. "Harry my son make sure we receive our money from our bet." The brown hair man walked forward with a smile. Hermione almost fainted, it was Harry. Her Harry, was with Lucius Malfoy. He didn't have a scar on his forehead but his glasses were still there.

"Uncle Sev." Harry bowed his head some, he looked at Hermione. Hermione could see pure hate in his eyes. "I see your pet made it." Lucius cane hit Harry in the back.

"Harry, we don't speak to Lady Snape that way. Draco, Blaise make sure Harry doesn't get into trouble collecting." Draco and Blaise smiled and went off with Harry. "Severus, I'm sure her majesty has plans for you later." Lucius winked and bowed and left with both Lestrange.

"We don't belong here." Severus whispered into her ear.

"No shit really, what gave it away the fact that this looks like the court from the move Elizabeth or the fact Lucius just called Harry son." Hermione wasn't thrilled with how everybody looked at her.

"Elizabeth?" He looked down at her as she shook her head. "I think we might be in a different time line. What did you put in the potion?"

"What I gave you on the paper." She hissed at him. Before he could answer her the whole room went quite, Severus and Hermione looked up at the women standing in the door. She had on a dark green dress, it was huge on the bottom and had a tight waist. The neckline was squared that ended right at the top of her chest, her breast were popping out, the sleeves of her dress went down to the floor with cuts in them that exposed her arm. She had a silver snake wrapped around her waist, on her left hand sat a large green stone. Her blond hair was pulled up and a silver crown of two snakes sat on top of her head. She was young, Hermione noticed Severus face change.

He leaned into her and whispered into her ear. "Her name is Lilith, she should be twenty years old."

"How do you know?" Hermione kept her voice low as the girl made her way through the room. The room bowed to her as she made her way around to each of the groups of men. At certain ones she would stop and talk or hold out her ring.

"I will tell you later." He bowed low as she moved closer to them. Hermione curtsied to the floor as the women walked by them, she stopped in front Severus.

"My Lord Snape." She had her ring hand out by his face. Severus took her hand and kissed it, her hand made an up motioned. He stood, he was praying that is what she wanted. "I am so glad to see you Severus." She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. He brought her closer and held tighter. She pulled off him with a giggle, "My Lord, still so brave."

"My queen, I have been away too long." Hermione could tell Severus grasping what to say to the girl.

The girl leaned into him. "Aye, you have. We will catch up soon." The girls behind her were giggling and blushing, Hermione noticed a red head girl in the group. It was Ginny, her Ginny was in this court. The girl made her way through the room. She stopped in front of Lucius and smiled down at him and started talking to Draco. Hermione knew when Draco was flirting and he was laying it on thick, he had the girl red as the Weasley hair. She slapped him and moved through the room, two guards opened the door into the Great Hall for her as she walked into the room. Hermione followed Severus into the room, there were no more tables or house colors. The whole room was done in green and blacks. In the front of the room was two large thrones, the girl sat in the smaller one as the girls following her sat in the chairs by her side.

"Severus." Lucius was waving him over, Severus grabbed Hermione's arm and moved her throw the crowed. "I see you are still favored old man." Lucius winked at him.

"I see Draco is climbing up also." Severus nodded his head hoping he said the right thing.

"He has had our queen's eye for a while now, she took him as her official lover a year ago. Sorry old man." Lucius rubbed his back. Severus guessed that meant the Severus from this time was her official lover. "That's what happens when you are away for over a year." The room started bowing again. Severus held Hermione's hand tighter when he saw the Dark Lord enter the room. He had a strange look about him but he wasn't completely snake like. The girl stood from her throne and bowed to him. He walked through the room with Bella on his arm as he stopped in front of him and Hermione.

"Severus, the rumors are true. You have not been killed." The Dark Lord turned to Hermione. "My little one, you had me worried." He pulled Hermione's hand up to his mouth and kissed it. "Lilith." The girl standing by the throne moved down to him and curtsied to the floor.

"My Lord." She stood next to him.

"You have room in your court for our Hermione again?"

"Oh course my Lord, my sister always has room." He held out his arm and moved Lilith towards the thrones. When the Dark Lord and Lilith sat tables appeared along the edges of the wall as dinner started. Hermione sat as close as she could Severus, she watched as his years as a spy paid off. She could tell he was listening to the conversation around them. Lucius sat on one side of Severus and Harry sat next to her. Harry wouldn't say two words to her the whole night, when she did catch his eye he growled at her. Half way through dinner a muggle women was brought in screaming, Severus grabbed Hermione's and squeezed it as they watch the women tortured and then dismembered by a few men in death eater masks. Hermione felt as if she was going to be ill as the women's screams got louder. Hermione looked around her at everybody, they were laughing. Even Ginny was laughing at the women pleading for her life. She looked around the room trying to not focus on what was happening in front of her. In the corner she saw a normal sight of red heads sitting grouped together. She caught Ron's eye for a moment as he winked at her and returned to his dinner and the entertainment in front of them. Blood covered the floor as she felt her hand being tugged on, Severus pulled her up as the room stood as he walked by. Half the court left as he walked out of the room holding on to Bella still. Hermione watched as Lilith clapped her hands as the blood and body disappeared. She leaned back on her throne and was whispering to Ginny.

"My Lord Harry." The room turned to Lilith. "I feel up to a dance, will you indulge your queen?"

Harry stood up, moved to the middle of the floor and bowed. "For my queen I would go to battle with a dragon."

She was still leaning back and to the side. "Oh, that may be the next thing I ask of you but as of right now all I need is a dance." She motioned her hand for him to come to her.

He moved to her and kissed her hand. "My queen."

"You may pick one of my ladies my lord." The queen motioned to the girls to stand. Harry smiled down at Lilith and walked down the row of girls, all blushing and giggling.

"So many to choose from, my queen. Each one is beautiful in their own way but their beauty means nothing next to yours." Harry stopped in front of Ginny and held out his hand. "May I my queen?"

"My Lord makes a perfect choice."

Ginny was blushing as the music started, Harry twirled her around the floor. They moved closer and closer together as the music slowed down. Lilith was standing when the music stopped, Harry and Ginny did not move out of each other's arms. Lilith put her finger to her lip as she made walked towards them. She stood near them. "My Lord this is when you ask her for her hand." The room was laughing as Harry started turning red. "My Lord take her for a walk but I want her in her bedchamber alone in one hour." She pushed the two towards the door as she turned to the room. "Lord Draco, walk me to my rooms." Hermione never seen Draco move that fast unless it was Quidditch or desert. He took her arm and walked with her out of the room.

Severus turned to Lucius as the room started to leave. "Are our rooms still the same?"

"They should be, Goyle take Lord and Lady Snape to their rooms." Goyle walked over, bowed and led them to their rooms.

Their rooms were large and near Severus lab. They had four rooms; a sitting room, library, a small dining room and a bedroom. The loo was off the bedroom, it was almost as large as their dining room.

"I hope you are pleased my Lord, these rooms have not been touched since you and Lady Snape disappeared." Goyle smiled. "Her majesty has kept them that way, also your labs sir are being overhauled tomorrow so you may return to work in a few days."

"It is fine." Severus was curt and short with the boy. "Leave us." Goyle bowed and walked out of the room. Hermione was already looking over some papers when she noticed Severus looking down at her.

"Yes?"

"We need to go over the information we know." He sat down next to her.

"How did you know her name?" Hermione sat some papers down. "She walked into the room and you knew who she was and how old she is?"

"I know her from where we came from. In our time or whatever her father was a death eater. Lilith was thirteen when he was killed during the taking of the Ministry. Before that her and her mother would come with him to meetings. She use to have a huge crush on Draco but to him she was just a child." Severus chuckled some as he sat down in front of the fire.

"What happened to her?" Hermione grabbed the papers and moved to the seat next to him.

"Her mother was afraid what happened to Draco would happen to her and ran when Boris was killed. I hadn't heard from her till a few months ago."

"What happened a few months ago?"

"Can we move on to what we have found out and stop asking stupid questions." Severus raised his voice.

Hermione sighed and she turned back to the papers. "We know we both disappeared over a year ago and that you were Lilith's lover till then." Hermione was still reading over some papers.

"We know even though you're a muggle born the Dark Lord likes you." Severus smiled as Hermione shivered. "We belong with Lucius group and that Draco is now her lover. We also know Harry can't stand you and was raised as Lucius' son."

"When did we find that out?" Hermione looked up from her paper.

"Dinner, Lucius was talking about the Dark Lord killing Lily and James Potter. It seems the Severus in this world convinced the Dark Lord instead of killing the child place Harry with Lucius, his idea was to make him an ally not an enemy."

"That is smart, oh and Lilith called me her sister." Hermione was reading over a paper. "Lily was a muggle born and I am still muggle born why are we alive? And I am not just alive but married to you. The way they went on at dinner you were high up before we disappeared." She handed him a paper. "And it seems I was seeing my dearest Ronald while we were married."

He rolled his eyes as he took the paper from her. "Do you think it's strange nobody has asked where we have been?"

"I was wondering that too and when Lucius kissed my hand it was like he knew we were frauds." Hermione watched Severus face twist as he stood up.

"Severus." He looked down at her. "I am sorry. I'm sorry we are here."

"I thought this was over and here we are again. He seems saner here but I won't go through this again." Hermione stood up and hugged him. She looked up into his eyes, she loved those eyes for years. He bent down and kissed her, she felt her body melt into his. He brought her closer, she moaned into his mouth as his tongue found his way in. A knock interrupted their kiss, Severus moved from her and opened the door. A young boy was standing in the door way and handed Severus a note. They boy smiled and disappeared into the darkness. Severus closed the door and made his way back over to Hermione.

"What does it say?" Hermione didn't know what to make of the look on his face.

Severus handed her the note. "You should have stayed dead."
