Epilogue- Yet Another School Year
Hermione wandered into their rooms, and stood still for a second too study her husband. Snape was sitting on the sofa reading The Daily Prophet, with a customary frown upon his face. His features hadn't changed much in seventeen years, but his hair was slowly turning a steely grey, starting at the front. Hermione thought it made him look rather distinguished. He had a little stubbly goatee as well, which rather suited him.
'Elizabeth says you gave her a detention again.' She said, a little smile on her face.
Snape looked up at her briefly. 'I did indeed. The little chit. Quite the know-it-all. Can't think where she gets that from.' He turned a page.
Hermione smiled, wandered over and sat down right next too him.
'Neither can I.' She said, and she put her hand on his arm as he turned his head too kiss her.
She continued. 'Well I awarded Zach another 'O' for his potions homework today. He's going too get better NEWTs than the both of us you know.'
'Well we can't allow that.' Said Snape, a smile on the corner of his lips as he folded the paper and lay it on his lap, giving his full attention too his wife.
'Indeed.' She said smiling. He pushed his hand into his hair, and she clutched at his robe as they shared a passionate kiss, which was rudely interrupted.
'Ew!' Shouted a girl of thirteen, with long wavy brown hair, and cheeky black eyes. 'Must you do that!'
'Yeah, it is kind of gross. Anyone would think you only got married yesterday.' Said a tall boy, now an adult in the eyes of the wizarding world. He had short, straight black hair and big brown eyes. He stood behind his sister, carrying a pile of books, a Gryffindor scarf wrapped around his neck.
Snape and Hermione clasped hands as they surveyed their children. Hermione smiled at them, but Snape put on his effective stern face, at least, effective too anyone else outside his family.
'Just don't do it in front of our friends.' Said Elizabeth waltzing through the sitting room, and into her old bedroom. Old because her official bed was now in the Slytherin dormitory. 'We would just die.'
Zach followed her, complaining at her for wrecking one of his books by doodling in it. The door shut behind them.
Hermione looked back at Snape, and he smiled at the love on her face, reflecting it on his own.
'I blame you for them.' Said Snape, amusement in his eyes.
'It takes two to tango.' Said Hermione, 'and you are quite the mover remember Severus.'
He raised a stern black eyebrow at her, but then she kissed him again, and Snape responded enthusiastically, as always.

David Gray- Please Forgive Me
Please forgive me if I act a little strange,
For I know not what I do,
Feels like lightening running through my veins,
every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Help me out here,
all my words are falling short,
and there's so much I want to say,
wanna tell you just how good it feels,
when you look at me that way.
When you look at me that way.
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow,
moving out across the bay,
like a stone I fall into your eyes,
deep into that mystery.
Deep into some mystery.
I got half a mind too scream out loud,
I got half a mind to die.
So I won't ever have too lose you girl,
won't ever have too say goodbye,
I won't ever have to lie,
won't ever have to say goodbye.
Please forgive me if I act a little strange,
For I know not what I do,
Feels like lightening running through my veins,
every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Well that's that! C'est finit! Excuse my French...
There not called Zachariah and Elizabeth for any particular reason, the names just popped into my head.
And I'm new to writing fanfiction- so I neglected to do all these little author notes and comments at the bottom.
And thank you for any reviews! I'm trying to reply too them all! I only wrote this for a bit of fun, and thought I'd experiment by putting it on this site, but I might have to write something else now!
