THIS IS NOT THE END FOR THE STORY AS I PLAN TO TAKE IT VERY FAR.

Hermione woke up in the arms of Severus just in time to see her father disappear. "Dad?" Hermione whispered almost inaudible for anyone to hear. No one noticed she had woken up as they watched the spot where Tom had disappeared from. With the knowledge that they were all sleep, Hermione fell into darkness as she was washed over with love.

Severus sat there with Hermione in his arms for a few minutes, before he stood suddenly with her in his arms. "Come on let's get her to the infirmary for Poppy to look her over." Severus announced as he began his trek with the men behind him. Hermione had several cuts and bruises over her body that were nasty looking. "Severus why isn't she healing like she usually does?" Draco asked concerned as he saw her wounds not closing, but oozing blood out. That statement just made Severus walk faster to his goal.

"Madame Pomfrey!" Severus yelled as he slowly sat Hermione down on the bed. "Poppy!" Severus howled out again before he saw a disheveled Poppy rush from behind a curtained area towards him.

"Yes Severus. I was with... what happened to her?" Poppy gasped out as she ran towards the bed which held Hermione. "Out everyone. Severus, Harry is over there in the curtained bed. He's very weak but he should pull through and be fine. Now out so I can work on her." Poppy declared as she pushed all four men out and closed the curtains. They knew that she put up several warding spells so they didn't try anything.

Severus made his way over to Harry's bed to see Remus sitting right beside him. Remus looked tired and fragile as he looked over Harry but Remus was shocked to see Severus worse than him. Severus looked like a ghost. His skin was beyond sallow, his eyes were blood shot, and he was visibly shaking. "How's Harry?" "How's Hermione?" They both asked at the same time. Both men began to chuckle at that.

"Harry is fine. He had a few cuts from the battlefield but most of all he is just exhausted. I don't think his transformation is going to go away." Remus told Severus who was just now taking is Harry's appearance. Harry's hair was still white, his skin tone was still tan, appeared to be the same height but most importantly his wings disappeared. Severus moved around the bed to come next to Harry's head, messed it up some and laid a loving smile down to his godson.

"Severus, Poppy is done." Draco announced as he opened the curtain. Severus whipped his head up and walked out of the curtained area to find Thyme and Lucius listening to what Poppy was saying. "She is going to need to take it easy for a few days. She was extremely low on her magic when you brought her in. She's slowly recovering but I had to go and heal her cuts and she had some severe bruising. Three cracked ribs was what was making it hard for her to breathe. I don't think her new look will be going away this time, because I've tried every spell to give her back her brown hair and eyes and such, but it doesn't work."

"Poppy can she be moved out of here. I don't want anybody seeing her this way unless she wants it." Thyme quickly asked as he was sensing a problem was going to arise if she wasn't out of here soon. Everyone looked at him oddly then quickly nodded their heads in agreement. "She can stay with me and Harry can stay with Severus. There will be someone watching over them the whole time." Thyme pleaded with her as she gave a short nod. "Fine but they can't over do it." Poppy turned away to attend to something else.

"Severus, I know you don't want her out of your sight but I was thinking of creating a doorway between yours, mine and Lucius' rooms so that we can check on them regularly." Thyme explained before anyone could say a word. There were nods of agreement as the men went to work in moving Hermione and Harry.

Harry was now situated in Severus' spare bedroom still sleeping and Hermione was situated in Thyme's spare bedroom as well. There was a dark wooden door in both rooms that connected to each other at anytime and another door with a silver door knob that connected Draco and Lucius together.

"Madame Pomfrey. I've found someone else. They were down in the dungeons." Hagrid shouted out as he laid the mysterious man and woman down on the bed that just held Hermione. "Poppy get in here." Poppy came bustling in and went to work on the mysterious man and woman who looked suspiciously familiar.

"Severus." A weak voice croaked out as she was met with silence. Tears began to cloud the eyes as hands felt around for a blanket. Shivering uncontrollably with the comforter up to her mouth, when another voice broke through. "Severus." a voice said much like her own.

"Harry? is that you?" Hermione trembled out when she was soon answered with a shaky yes. "How long have we been here?" Hermione asked feeling slightly warmer. No sound came from Harry except that of snoring. 'Great now I'm stuck being bored.' Hermione didn't dwell on this as the door soon opened to reveal the man she asked for. "Severus." She was soon being looked over by a tired Severus Snape.

"Hey." Severus whispered gently as his fingers caressed her face. "You had us scared for a while when you wouldn't heal." "Is that the reason why I'm so weak and cold?" Hermione asked as she started to close her eyes. She felt the bed dip as she met a warm body on her left and arms circling her waist. "I'm sorry. Had I noticed you were cold I would have put a charm up or laid with you." Severus whispered as he rubbed his warm hands up and down her sides trying to warm her up. "You should warm Harry with a spell then. He was clattering his teeth quite badly when he woke up." Hermione whispered. "Go to sleep and I'll place the charm."

Hermione had made a full recovery along with Harry. Their magic was slowly returning but they were horrified to find that their looks were permanent. Now how were they supposed to go around with out being whispered about. How was Severus going to react when Hermione couldn't turn back to her original form. "Hermione I'm sure Severus will love you no matter what. Plus if you weren't going to marry him and I didn't see you as a sister, I would totally ask you out?" Harry exasperated to her as she was nervous. "Thanks for the encouraging statement but I don't know."

Before Harry could get anymore in the door opened to reveal Thyme. "Hey you two. I have someone special here to see you Hermione." Thyme said as he glanced over his shoulder. He nodded his head for some reason and side stepped to the right to reveal a Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was completely healthy looking, and there was no dark energy radiating off of him as when he was Voldemort.

"Dad!? Mom?! How?" Hermione asked as she got up from the bed and ran over to him. She was fully crying out as she latched on to him and let every emotion she bottled up since she came to Hogwarts out. Tom was in unfamiliar territory with her blubbering on him but soon eased into it as his wife assured him to rub soothing circles on her back as he mother shushed her and smoothed her hair down. "Hermione it is okay. We are back and we are here to stay. There is something you should know." Hermione stopped her crying almost instantly as she looked in to their eyes.

"What? What is it?" Feeling dread creep up her spine as she was watching the man that was taken from her as a child tried to gently coax her to submission. "Albus and Minerva Dumbledore were found five days ago in the bed dead."
