"What is the meaning of these words?"Severus had asked his mother long time ago, when he was a child.
"This is the place where you are going to find your soulmate, my dear child and the time where she will appear."
He had asked her then were was the Astronomy tower. He had been sad to find out that it was a place at Hogwarts, a place that he was going to see only when he was eleven.
Severus had always knew that Lily wasn't his soulmate, he had met her in a park after all. And he had truly gotten to know her at her house. His mother had said that the place could mean two things: one where you literally meet the person in the place and two when you got to really know the person.
Unfortunately for him, it was the later.
Severus had gone to the Astronomy tower every night ever since his first night at Hogwarts. But nobody had come to meet him at that hour. He had gone for years there, looking at the stars and hoping that his soulmate will come. But she never did.
….
Hermione hadn't known what the place and date written on her arms had meant until she had met professor McGonagall when she was eleven.
She had been so happy to find out that she had a soulmate. Hermione had asked the professor to let her break curfew and go to the Astronomy tower every night to see if her soulmate was there. The professor said that she couldn't allow that, not every night at least.
So Hermione went only few days a week and each night she saw Professor Snape there. She wasn't stupid. Hermione has realised that he was her soulmate, but...she had never had the courage to tell him.
….
"Well, at least not until few years had passed."Hermione thought out loud, forgetting herself.
"What?" Severus asked his wife, startled by her outburst.
She just chuckled and smiled at him.
