"Severus!" I screamed after him. I had been running after him into the dark forest and finally catched up with him. I grabbed his arm and he whipped around and threw my had away.

"It's not as it seems!" I said feeling the hard feeling of tears in my eyes.

"Not what is seems! Do you think I'm stupid!" I screamed back and I reached out for him but he backed away. "Don't touch me!"

"Severus please just listen! I don't know what happened, I tried to get him to leave but-"

"But you started to strip instead like a common whore" He hissed and it felt like he had slapped me.

"A common whore, is that how you see me?"

"The things I saw minutes ago changed my opinion about you, I thought you were...diffrent" He said and the anger in his eyes only lit mine.

"You don't know the whole story! You have no fucking right to call me a common whore!"

"Then tell me what happened!" He bellowed and I just looked at him feeling the tears rise in my eyes. How could I tell him when I didn't even know myself what had happened? "I didn't think so" Severus sneered and I grabbed his arm hard enough so he couldn't shake me away.

"I love you" I growled and he stared at me. "I love you, I would never had done what I did with James if something wasn't going on. I swear it he must have hexed me or-"

"Stop it!" Severus said and backed away from me. "I'm not that stupid Hermione" He said and started to walk away and I grabbed him again and he turned around and pointed his wand at me. "Don't touch me!" He hissed and I just stepped forward feeling his wand press harder into my chest.

"If you think I'm just a common whore then why don't you hex me" I said and he just took away his wand and flicked it. He did the same thing he had done in the seventh year after dueling against Minerva. He turned into a black tornado and disapeared.

"Severus!" I screamed and then felt the tears fall again.


*CPOV*

When mom came back I had dragged James out of the room and was sitting in her couch. She came in sobbing and dropped to the floor and I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"He wouldn't listen to me!" She sobbed and I nearly started to cry myself. "He called me a common whore and disapeared. Celeste what have I done?" She cried and a tear slipped out my eye, it wasn't even her fault!

"I'm sorry mom" I whispered so quietly she could never have heard me.

The next day I ran to grandpas office, I had to have his help with this. I had screwed up totally and I really needed his help. I just marched in straight into his office and he looked up in surprise.

"I screwed up!" I screamed and he just met me with silence. "The lust potion, mom drank it and James was there and Dad walked in- and now they hate eachother! And Salina and Sebastian will die!" I said and fell down on the floor. I hadn't slept at all and I was so confused and angry with myself that I didn't know what to do.

"Severus told me what happened. But there is still a way to fix things between them, you have two weeks"

"How?"

"They still love eachother, Severus didn't have to say it but he loves your mother"

"But how will I get them together again?" I asked and he just smiled.

"I don't know Celeste, but you can if you only try hard enough"

The thing was that not even me trying would get them together, dad didn't show up at lunch or dinner. Mom just sat there looking depressed all the time and when the weekend was over and I sat with them during class they would scream at me for even mentioning the others name. All I wanted was to confess and maybe then they would get together after that, but that could alter the time line to much.

And the worst part was that now I only had one week left...And they couldn't even look at eachother. I sat at Dad's lesson and he had never been this cruel to the students, he was taking points even from slytherin.

"Professor" I said when all the students were out and he turned and glared at me.

"What?" He growled and I looked down at the floor.

"What if I told you that it wasn't her fault that she kissed James?" I looked up and saw him staring at me. "I can't tell you who's fault it was but it wasn't hers" He stared at me for a moment and then shook his head.

"Get out!" He sighed.

"But-"

"I will not be made a fool again by listening to you Celeste!" He bellowed and I froze. "Get out, and don't you dare speak of her again in my presence." I quickly took my bag and rushed out the door and saw all the students running from the rain. It had rained for a whole week when would it stop?

When would it just stop...?


"SPOV"

A couple of years into the future...

"Where is she? It's been over a month since she disappeared and you don't even seem worried!" Sebastian said and pulled his fingers through his hair in frustration. I was sitting in my office and Hermione was standing next to me looking at our son.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to be worried about-" Hermione started and Sebastian exploded. He had been so frustrated and worried over Celeste since she had disapeared and he was angry at us for not being more worried or at least pretending to look for her, he hadn't slept for weeks and he looked more worn out now than I had ever seen him.

"SHE IS MY TWIN SISTER AND YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT HER!" He bellowed and I stood up.

"Don't yell at your mother!" I screamed back and Sebastian sat down in one of the chairs infront of my desk. Hermione went over to him and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm sorry" He murmured and Hermione just nodded.

"I know your worried sweetheart, but you know your sister. She will make it out okey."

"Why can't you just tell me where she is?" He asked and Hermione looked at me and I shook my head. It would risk to much to tell him where she was, I knew my son and the first thing he would do was to take a damn time turner himself and end up with Celeste just so he could help her. Bloody gryffindor spirit.

"Sweetheart you know we would tell you if we could but it would only risk your safety" Hermione said and stroked his hair and he looked up at her.

"I don't care"

"It would risk Celeste's safety" I said and he turned to me with a miserable smile.

"Well this really makes me feel usefull" He said and shook his head and I smiled at him.

"You are more usefull than you think, son" I said and he smiled and then sighed.

"I have to study" He said and stood upand leaned down and kissed Hermiones cheek and then just nodded at me. Just as he started to go towards the door he stopped and bent over slightly as if someone had punched him in the stomach.

"Sebastian?" Hermione asked and walked over to him and he hissed in pain and fell down to his knees. I was by his side at once and Hermione kneeled beside him. "Darling whats wrong?" He didn't answer, he was shaking so much.

"Sebastian what's wrong?" I asked even if I started to understand what was happening.

"it hurts everywhere!" He hissed through clenched teeth and then suddenly burst out into an agonizing scream.


Time warp back...

*HPOV*

I was walking with Minerva towards the great hall when we both jumped in surprise as we heard a loud scream. I looked at Minerva quickly and we started to run towards the scream, Minerva turned into a cat and ran past me and I followed her example and turned into my animagus form and I was a lioness. The students screamed in surprise as they saw me running through the corridors and when the scream got closer I took a jump and turned back into human form and ran around the last corner. There was a student laying on the lawn screaming in the rain. Minerva who was now in human form was kneeling beside her and I ran up to them.

"Who is- Celeste!" I exclaimed as I saw my apprentice laying there on the grass with a mask of pain on her face. I kneeled beside her and took her hand, and she held on to me like I was the thing holding her alive.

"Celeste what happened?" I asked and she just continued to cry and scream. "We have to move her" I said and Minerva backed away to levitate her but as the magic started to lift her and she only screamed higher.

"Stop! Stop!" She shreiked and She was placed on the ground again.

"What's wrong?" Minerva asked again and but Celeste looked like she didn't even know for certain what happened herself. Her long black hair that she usuallly had in a braid was in a mess of wet tangled curls and she was wet from head to toe.

"What happened?" I looked up and saw Severus run towards us and kneeled next to Celeste, he didn't look at me only Minerva and Celeste.

"We don't know. She was laying her screaming when we got here and we can't mover her without hurting her more"

"Did you try levitating her?"

"It only hurt her more" I answered him but he didn't look at me. He looked down at Celeste who screamed as another pain wave washed over her, he cupped her cheek and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. I felt jealous at once, but it wasn't in a romantic way he looked at her. It was in a more parenting way he looked at her, like he truly did care for her which I deep down thought he did very much.

"Celeste, I know it hurts but we have to move you before you freeze to death out here" She whimpered and grabbed his arm. "Don't worry we won't move you with magic, you'll be fine" He said and let go of her cheek and she dropped his arm. Then he did something I will never forget, in one smooth move he picked her up in her arms as if she weighed as much as a feather. Then he just turned around and walked towards the hospital wing.

"Go with them Hermione and I'll get Albus" Minerva said and started to run away and I followed Severus. I don't know if it was beacuse I followed or if he was starting to worry more over Sofia that he started to walk faster.


*CPOV*

When I woke up I was laying in the hospital wing. The almighty pain I felt before was not as unpleasant as before but it was still there but faint, before it had felt like something was ripping me apart on the inside...now it was a slow pain of my insides being peeled away.

"Damn" I said and closed my eyes again.

"Indeed" I heard grandpa say and I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"What happened?"

"There is no simple explination, but if I tell you like this that the universe is starting to prepare to erase you. It's only six days left now" I sighed and fell down on the pillow again.

"Please can't you fix them?"

"I would if I could. But I'm afraid that the future would only mess up more if I tried. This was your job and I cannot interfere" He said sadly and I just shook my head.

"Can you get them?" I asked and he nodded and disapeared. I had no choice, I had to tell them. For Salinas and Sebastians sake, and for my own since none of us were born to die just beacuse of their stubborness.

I heard footsteps and soon mom walked into my seperate room.

"Celeste! I was so worried, what happened to you?"

"Sit down" I said quietly and she raised an eyebrow and sat down in one of the chairs next to the bed.

"Sure but Celeste-" She stopped talking as a dark figure appeared in the doorway. Dad looked at her briefly and then at me.

"I'll come back later then" He said and I glared at him and with the last wandless magic I had I locked the door behind him. He glared at me "Celeste-"

"Shut up!" I screamed and both of them flinched slightly. "It was my fault Hermione kissed James" I said and their eyes widened.

"What?" Mom asked and dad glared even harder at me.

"Celeste this is just ridiculous-"

"I placed lust potion in her wine!" I said and mom gasped and stood up looked pissed off.

"Celeste how could you!"

"It's not what you think" I said and dad raised an eyebrow.

"Then please continue" He sneered even though he looked like he might explode in fury at any moment.

"I will tell you but I know you just won't belive me! I'm from the future and for me to be able to go home again I had to get you two together before my birthday which is in 6 days. I waited for you to get on with it but you took too long so I poured lust potion in your wine since I knew you had a date that night. And now I'm starting to disapear...Just beacuse you are so stubborn both of you!" I snarled and they just stared at me for a moment.

"That doesn't make any sense at all" Dad said and I felt tears start to rise in my eyes. "I can belive you are from the future since that's not uncommon here, but Dumbledor must have fooled you when he said that was your way to go home. It doesn't make any sense at all" He said icily and I looked at mom who looked as uncertain as dad.

"He wasn't lying..." I said and wiped a tear away from my face. "It was a way for me to go home since I'm...Since I am" Mom placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Since what?"

"Granger come on! She is lying!" Dad sighed and mom glared at him.

"Let her talk!"

"This is a waste of time!" Dad said and turned to remove my wards and I did the only thing I could think of to convince him...I ripped of my locket and threw to him.

"Here!" I screamed and he turned around in time to catch it. He raised an eyebrow at it and then opened and his eyes widened and he gaped at the picture.

"I...This can't be right" He said and looked at me and then back at the picture.

"What?" Mom asked and walked towards him, he backed away from her and walked to me and gave me the locket.

"It's true" I said to him and he looked so confused I felt sorry for him. Well it was kind off a shock to find out that you had a 17 years old daughter, from the future. I looked at mom.

"I'm your daughter" I said and she stared at me without saying anything for what seemed an eternity.

"The scary thing is that it actually makes sense" She mumbled and I handed her the locket. She looked at it and smiled a big smile and then she looked confused again. "Who is that?" She asked and pointed at Sebastian. In the wizard picture Sebastian smirked at us and I couldn't help but smile.

"That's my twin brother" I said and that got dads attention.

"We have a son too?" He asked and I nodded. I wouldn't tell them about Salina, she could be a surprise. Mom snapped out of her dream state and backed away from the bed.

"I'm sorry but...This is all so very unreal" She said and looked at Severus and she seemed to get even more upset. "You can't be our daughter since we havn't even had sex yet!"

"That's why I'm ceasing to exist!" I said and she looked at Severus again and then at me.

"So the only way for you to live is for us to...Celeste this is to much to ask of us. Even if we are your parents"

"I'm asking you to let me live!" I said and I suddenly got so angry I couldn't stand it. "And don't you dare say you are my parents! You are not my mother,my mother is Hermione Snape and she loves me to death! Neither of you can be called my parents since you don't know me! You don't love me...My parents do". I snarled.

Mom stared at me and then turned and walked out. I stared after her and it felt like I was falling into despair.

"Your right" I heard dad say and looked at him. "We are not your parents yet"

"Yet?" I asked and laughed. "She just walked out, you havn't talked to eachother for weeks and now you expect that she will just forgive you like that and sleep with you?"

"I never thought I would have a family, Celeste. And now that you showed me that I'm going to have one I sure as hell won't let it slip away" He said and cupped my cheek. "That explains why you look like her so much"

I laughed. "Mom alwys says I look like you, but Sebastian is more like you than I will ever be"

"What haouse are you in?" He asked and I laughed again.

"Huffelpuff" I said and he paled, which made me laugh harder. "Slytherin of course!"

"And your brother?"

"Gryffindor, he is the prince of gryffindor and I'm the slytherin princess"

"When did you get those names?"

"First day at school"

"Good girl" He smiled and I could almost pretend that in that moment I was back at home and just being sick. Dad would come to comfort me and tell me something from when I was little to make me feel better.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go" He said and then started to walk out the door. I smiled and laid down on the bed and for once in these two months even though pain was eating me from the inside I relaxed knowing dad would take care of it
