"I can't stop thinking about the past, Harry," Hermione said. "I can't stop thinking about the romance Snape and I had. Peter was there. I could've warned your parents Harry. But I didn't. I keep on thinking that I made mistakes when I was in the past."
"You didn't make any mistakes at all," Ron said.
"Ron's right," Harry said. Hermione nodded. She turned and saw that Snape wasn't at the table. "Uh, I have to go," Hermione said. "I'm not all that hungry." Hermione got up from the table and left.
Hermione looked up at Snape's office's door. She pulled her hand up, back, up again, and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Snape's voice asked.
"It's Hermione," she said.
"Come in." Hermione stepped into Snape's office. She looked over to see Snape sitting on his couch by the fire. "Professor, I'm sorry," Hermione said.
"Why?" Snape asked still starring at the fire.
"Well, in the past, I broke your heart."
"You did."
"That's why you were so mean to me over the past few years."
"Well, yes. And don't go off thinking that I still love you. Because I only care for you like a student, maybe even a sister."
"Well, I don't know about that. I think that I might..."
"Hermione, I doubt that you still love me. Why did you ever befriend me in the first place?"
"You looked lonely. Also, you might've been mean to me in the past, but while I was stuck in the past, you were nice to me."
"I only felt comfortable around you, Hermione. I don't know why, but I did."
"You might not love me anymore, but I still love you."
"Hermione..."
"While I was stuck in the past, I realized something. You were one of the greatest things that ever happened to me."
"When I first met you, not as Hermione but as Robin, I felt like I was in heaven. I was in love...with you."
"Snape, I fell in love with you when I met your younger self." Snape got up from his couch and walked to Hermione. He stopped, starred at her for a while, and hugged her.
"We might not belong together," Hermione said. "But I can still love you."
"I was lying to you Hermione," Snape said. "I still love you." Hermione walked to the door and looked back at Snape. They smiled at each other and Hermione left.
Hermione was walking along the road. It was a year after her travel in the past and a month since she graduated from Hogwarts. She really missed Harry and Ron. But she really missed Snape. She still loved him.
Hermione saw someone walk out of a muggle bar. Hermione looked at the man and reconized him at once. "Severus!" she called out. The man looked at her and starred. "Hermione?" he asked. Hermione ran to him with tears in her eyes and hugged him.
"I still love you," Hermione said.
"I still love you," Snape said. He looked down at her, brought his index and middle finger under her chin, lifted her head close to his, and kissed her. "Let's go home," he whispered. Hermione looked at him, grabbed his hand, and the two left, going and staying at Snape's house, forever.
Years later, they married. Of course, people were a little bit shocked about the age difference, but Snape and Hermione didn't mind. They just got married no matter what happened. "I love you, Severus," Hermione whispered.
"I love you to, Hermione," Snape whispered. She smiled and threw the bouquet. Harry caught it. Hermione and Snape smiled (knowing that Harry would marry Ginny) and kissed each other again.
Don't get me wrong, the did have a child. They called him Christopher. He had many adventures in his life also. But each one of those adventures would be a whole different story to write. For all that mattered was that he was happy.
He wasn't treated any way from Snape like Snape's father treated him. He didn't even mind that there was an age difference between his mother and his father. Reader, he had many friends, also. They kept on asking him why his father, the potions master, married one of his students.
That did disturb him though. Reader, imagine that your parents recently had a divorce. Now, imagine that all of your friends keep on asking you why your parents broke up. Reader, how do you feel about that. I bet you feel pretty bad.
If this has already happened to you, I'm sorry. But reader, Christopher didn't mind. He had a very happy life. He loved his mother and father. He grew up to be a great man. And he married a woman who he had been friends with since he first met her.
But reader, don't ask what happened to Christopher, Snape, and Hermione. For that would be a whole different story to tell.
