Severus POV (2 Years Later)

"Pincy, I am about to move our guest into the ballroom is everything ready?"

Looking down at my house elf she responds immediately, "Yes Master, the ballroom is prepared."

With a nod of acknowledgement and a thank you I head back out into the Great Garden. Coming back out I notice a small group surrounding Draco and Luna with lively exuberance. Must be an interesting conversation those young lads are having over there. Getting the attention of the other guest in attendance I direct them into the ballroom where we can continue this preposterous festivities. Merlin, the things I do for my Godson.

Ever since I lost my Hermione life has not been the same. Most say that I have reverted back to the old dungeon bat git behavior that I once had before my beautiful wife but with more bitterness and hate. What did they expect? Me to be skipping around and hopping for joy? I lost the love of my life… The one woman who loved me for the man that I truly was. Who in their right mind would be normal after such an event like that? I remember it all… Every second after she left to the very day that I got the worse news of my life.

Flashback…

Bang bang bang! Please be here! I can't lose you my Mia… Looking up as the door opens I see a disgruntled looking Potter with confusion etched on his face. Shutting my eyes I already know before I even ask, she's not here. I am sure if she was Potter would be hexing my arse.

"Severus? What happened? Are you alright? Where is Mione?"

Falling to my knees I start to sob… I lost her, she is gone! I thought this would've been her safe haven. I guess I was wrong.

"Something happened… It was a misunderstanding but I should have spoken to her about it before it even happened. Merlin Harry, I can't lose her!"

Feeling him pull me up, he directs me into the house to sit on the closest chair. Not long after that I hear commotion but I am not paying attention. Musing over all the places she could have gone I come back to myself to speak with Harry when I realize that Draco and Luna were flooing into the Potter residence. And within 20 minutes I am surrounded by those who love my wife the most. Harry, Ginny, Draco, Luna, Neville, even Lucius is here which only pisses me off in the end.

There are others but this bastard is all I can focus on as I see RED!

"You son of a bitch! This is all your fault! She is gone now because of you and those harlots!" Standing up with my wand directed towards his precious face.

"Severus, old friend. I am not sure what trouble I have caused between you and your beautiful wife? You know that I am quite fond of her now."

I know how enamored he feels about my Mia, the bastard wanted to have a bedding round with her but I made sure that his manhood was disabled for a good month before I forgave his stupidity.

"She saw you and your witches yesterday Lucius! She thought that it was me! I told you that the act should have been done at your own home! But no, you decided to replicate my own bed and proceeded to convince me that it would only seem real if you had sex in my master bedroom! You are no longer allowed to use Polyjuice with my hair in it! Do you understand me! I will take no part in your witches fantasies anymore… I lost her Lucius… She's my everything! And now she is gone!"

Shock and disgusted gasps are heard but I am having none of that. I just sit back down and bury my hands in my face to hide the deep grief I am going through. Why the fuck did I agree with his dumb arse? Oh yes, because they wouldn't leave you the fuck alone and even threatened to invited your Mia if I did not agree! Sure I wasn't the one actually fucking them but I am just as guilty. Fuck...

Not even a half hour later everyone heads out in search of my wife. I got confirmation from Harry that she quit her post at the Ministry. She talked to Kingsley before our anniversary dinner. My wife had a plan set before I could even explain myself to her. I want to be mad about that fact but I am at fault here. Days passed and no Mia. Then weeks. In that time, Ronald Weasley received a letter of apology regarding her decision to stay married to me but also the knowledge that she will not be returning to Britain, ever. Time turned into 2 months when Harry finally got a letter from my Mia. It explained how sorry she was and that she would miss everyone. How much she loved their friendship but she requested us not to contact her or try to find her because in the end it would only turn into our own disappointment. When it had been exactly 1 year I was so lost in my own sorrow that I didn't even hear the news until it was too late. I obviously never signed the annulment papers because I loved my wife unconditionally. If the secondary party didn't sign the papers the bond would be kept but since the marriage law was passed some things changed. Like the knowledge of the bond cutting off after a full year of not signing the other half of the annulment. The day I felt our bond cut is the very day I got a call from a muggle hospital in Verona, Italy. Turns out that my wife got into a major accident. She was emitted into the hospital where she immediately died from internal injuries. In that moment I knew that I had lost my love, Forever…

After that I was a depressed mess. It didn't help that in my wife's haste to leave she left every item she owned behind. Not one thing was missing and I refused to move anything that she owned. Maybe it was my heart hoping she might come back but my mind knew that was impossible. Then I met someone, Yolanda Simmons. I first ran into her at Mia's favorite bookstore. The woman had a stack of books so high she never saw the person in front of her, me. Yolanda is a half blood from America who never really had the opportunity to be amongst witches and wizards. Her mother taught her all that she knew but moving here where her family came from was the main goal in accepting who she really was, a witch. I understand that Yolanda's mother was trying to keep her safe from Voldemort's rain but now all this wondrous woman wanted was to learn everything magical. At first I wasn't that respondent to her and the random advances she was making mostly because I was still mourning my wife. But after months in her company she reminded me so much of my Mia that I couldn't help the change I had been experiencing.

Coming back from my inner thoughts when I hear a loud commotion from where my Godson is located.

"Fuck! Mia, please… Not again."

My heart plummets a bit when I hear that name. Peering down at my former student with this mysterious woman in his arms I step forward so that I may help this unconscious young lady.

"Mr. Zabini?"

The lad seems to being doing diagnostic spells on his wife when I make my presence known.

"Does she need to go to St. Mungo's or would you like a room for her instead?"

Panic and relief cross his face before he agrees to have the room. Knowing that he is a healer I trust that he can make the accurate choice in this young woman's health and safety. With that I have one of the house elves set up the biggest guest room available so that I may go back to these other visitors within my home. I'll be sure to check on the young Mrs. after seeing to my dear friend, Yolanda.


A/N: Hope this satisfies some curiosity. Working on the next chapter and should have that out soon! Yay!
