DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER

3333333333333 Vision 3333333333333

'Where am I?' Hermione asked out loud as she stood before this big mansion. She had seen this place before with Severus. It was the place she stayed at for the summer after her fifth year. The house looked upkept, with an overflowing garden around her containing carnations, roses, tulips, and herbs. Any woman's dream garden.

She walked the path that led back to the mansion to hear music playing. She could hear talking coming from her left exactly where a hedge was. She quietly slipped over there and opened a little part to look through. What she saw stopped her in her tracks.

She saw that the garden was decorated with white, green and blue. There were flowers of the same colors and a wooden gazebo. She looked over at it to find something that amazed her greatly. Severus stood there. He had a black dress robe, his hair was tied back, and he was smiling. Not a forced smile, but a true smile.

Hermione felt resentment for someone being able to do that to the man she loves. She heard music begin that sounded awfully similar to the theme for a bride to walk to at a wedding. She didn't want to see the person who would steal her love, but was helpless not to. She was stunned at who she saw and who was giving the bride away. Hermione was pulled back into darkness to think over everything that just happened.

She wasn't going to talk about this. She was sure that she would find a solution to this vision.

Hermione woke up alone on a bed. She couldn't remember being in this room. She was attempting to rub the sleep out of her eyes when she felt something cold and smooth fall down her arm. She removed her hands to see a silver bracelet on her mid arm.

Everything came back to her now. Her birthday, her party, and Severus. The last thing she could remember that night was Severus and her making out and a hand sliding up her shirt. Instantly she whipped her head down and saw she was still fully clothed. She let out a sigh of relief. Hermione wasn't a prude. She just wanted to wait until she with that special person who makes her forget everything, which was Severus.

She loved Severus dearly, it was just she was taught to save herself until marriage. She agreed with this 100 percent. She didn't want to be with someone and have him up and leave her. She wanted to be with a man who would bond to her, love her, understand her, and remain loyal to her. She found that in Severus, but she always wanted to be safe.

Severus came in seconds after her sigh of relief. He chuckled to himself.

"I see you couldn't remember anything that happened last night." He said silkily as he entered with a big breakfast to feed five people. She giggled at him and quickly responded.

"Yeah, I couldn't remember last night until I felt the bracelet on my wrist. I was just afraid that I had done something I had promised myself and Thyme I wouldn't do." Hermione said as she saw confusion in Severus' eyes.

"He made me promise when I was fifteen that I would wait for marriage before I made love to the man in my life. I agreed to it 100 percent." She told him as she dug into the pancakes he brought. She had her first bite in her mouth when he asked a question.

"And who is this person you will let make love to you?" He asked teasingly. She look at him and smiled.

"You should know that. He's made my life wonderful again, and I plan to be with him forever. That man is you." Hermione whispered as she kissed him gently all over his face. She pulled away abruptly and looked at him questioningly. She was scared he had changed his mind.

"What were you going to ask me before I fell asleep?" There was no way in hell she was going to talk about what happened. Severus looked at her nervously as he fingered something.

"Will you do me the honor in becoming my fiancé? You are my light in the tunnel. You always know how to lead me in the right direction and save me from the darkness. You've brought out a side of me that I have never expressed before, and have become one of the most important people in my life." Severus finished looking into her eyes. Hermione watched him silently with tears running down her face.

She jumped on top of him sending him back first on the sofa. He didn't know if this was her happy or enraged. He got his answer when he was pulled into a deep kiss. She was so happy that he loved her enough to ask her that question. She pulled back to see a thoroughly kissed Severus. "Yes. I would love to become your fiancé." Hermione panted as she took in the effect she had done to him in five minutes. He looked up at her in amazement. He knew she would say yes, but he had the sinking feeling that she was going to reject him. Severus knew he wouldn't be able to handle that if she had.

"Now Hermione. I'm not proposing to get married in a month, but I would like to have a positive and hopeful future with you. I want to marry you, be your first, you be the mother of my children and I the father. I want to grow old with you and continue to share my life with you as I do now." Severus explained as he opened the box to Hermione to see.

Inside was a beautiful ring: it was white gold with a snake carved into the band. It was a mix between an emerald and yellow diamond. The gem was green on the outside and yellow in the center giving the illusion of a snakes eye. It was beyond beautiful. Severus reached in the box for the ring. He slowly brought it out of it's confine and captured Hermione's left hand.

He held it out for Hermione to read. Hermione leaned into see the inscription: 'MY LOVE FOREVER - SEVERUS' Hermione instinctively leaned in and gave him a light kiss on his lips. With that act of affection, Severus took her hand and slid his family's ring on her finger. After he secured the ring on to his Hermione he leant in and they resumed their intimate snog fest.

"Hermione, are you all set for leaving home tonight?" Severus asked Hermione. She was so nervous that something was going to go wrong. She looked around to see Thyme, Harry, Draco, and Severus there. All five of the occupants were dressed for travel and awaited to be called to breakfast.

"Yes. It's now or never. We have to get everyone out of here before ten. When is Dumbled-" Hermione was interrupted when a bell rang throughout the whole castle.

"Will everybody please come to breakfast? We have an award to give out." Dumbledore announced motivation to get students to come and no letters to be sent. Everyone in the order meeting knew this was bogus but had to put up the allusion.

They all discreetly exited one at a time so no one would be suspicious. They arrived to see the Grand Hall flooded with all students. They were there for twenty minutes when the doors automatically closed. Dumbledore stood up and made his way up to the podium to make his speech.

"We have found there is a problem here at the school. Someone has been using dark magic and we need to leave immediately so we can find and vanquish the beings that came from this magic. You are going to be transported to Hogwarts. You will arrive in the Great Hall and will stay there when everyone has been successfully transformed. Now don't fret over your belongings. The house elves have moved them to Hogwarts as of now. They should be doing the last of the luggage now. Now, pair up with a partner right now." Dumbledore finished his speech as everyone began to murmur. Everyone was talking loudly as they separated in to partners. Hermione gave a longing glance towards Severus as she made her way over to Dare. Hermione noticed that everyone had been grouped together and was wondering what was happening. Dumbledore got back up and magnified his voice to get over everyone's voice.

"QUIET! YOU WILL BE GIVEN A PORTKEY. THOSE OF YOU WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION - THERE ARE HOUSE ELVES FOR YOU AND FLOOING IS AN OPTION AS WELL. NOW INEXPERIENCE PORTKEYERS PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT." Dumbledore fixed his voice as an odd number of first through third years came towards the front.

T

eachers began to come towards groups of students. They were handing out portkeys on necklaces. They were informed as the teachers gave the portkeys that there would be teachers already there waiting for the students. All at once there were a number of pops around the room as more than half the population of students disappeared.

Hermione arrived in the Great Hall. She thought she would never be back here after everything that had happened. She saw all the Poseidon students starring in amazement at the Great hall. Fireplaces sprung up from nowhere and student began filing out of the fire. After twenty minutes all the students were had arrived. Teachers began to pop up everywhere.

Severus and Thyme popped in near Hermione. Hermione had to bite her tongue to keep from saying anything that might give everything away. Severus, Thyme, McGonagall, Sprout, Hooch, Vane, Gorgio, and Slime moved to the front. Dumbledore once again raised his voice to get the students attention.

"Students, please go to your Head of House from your school. So Ravenclaws to Professor Flitwick, Slytherins to Professor Snape, Hufflepuffs to Professor Sprout, Gryffindors to Professor McGonagall, and same to the Poseidon students." Dumbledore returned his voice to normal yet again. "What are we to tell our parents?" A Ravenclaw shouted.

"Your parents will be notified. Now today will be free, and possibly tomorrow. The dance will still go on as planned. Will the staff of the ball please stay behind? Everyone else please go to your dorms. Poseidon students - whatever your house resembles is what house dorms you will be in. Such as Ligers are Gryffindors here.

"Severus, did everybody get out of Poseidon?" Hermione asked as she entered the room. Thyme came in a few seconds later followed by Draco and Harry.

"Yes. Everything went as planned. There will be nothing there except holographic students for the them to find." Severus answered as he took the seat next to Hermione.

"But what about you guys? Won't you get in trouble for not telling Voldemort about the school being emptied?" Harry asked. He was frightened that he might loose one of his existing family members to Voldemort.

"Don't worry you three. We have it planned. We're going to tell Voldemort that we were unable to come or send word due to Dumbledore keeping everyone under lock and key in Hogwarts."

Thyme and Severus both hissed as they clutched their forearms. Everyone woke up to find the two strong men clutching their arms. Hermione immediately sprung over to them, asking if they were okay. They were in too much pain to answer so Hermione took the other road. She stretched out her hands to the two men and touched their forearms. Almost instantly the men stopped as their faces took on a look of relaxation. They opened their eyes to find Hermione glowing a fluorescent green. All they felt was a cool sensation on their arms.

After thirty minutes, Hermione collapsed on the floor in between the two men. She was panting as she looked around.

"They attacked just now. He was very angry. Harry did you feel anything?" She asked as Harry remained on the sofa as if he wasn't harmed at all.

"It's strange - I should have been in pain. I always have feel a burning sensation when Voldemort gets angry." Harry was confused as everyone else. All except a certain brunette that was sitting between the two spies. "You know don't you?"

"Yes. You have become aware of your powers and your minds blocked against foreign perpetrators not belonging to a 'Callers' protection. Severus, Thyme you two should really go report to Dumbledore right now." Hermione mumbled as she fell asleep into a realm to where she couldn't get hurt.
