Albus Dumbledore rushed to the fallen woman, followed by Severus and
Minerva. Kneeling in front of the young woman and lifting her chin so he
could look into her face, Albus felt the cold chill of sorrow rip thru him
as he looked into the eyes of one of his students.
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me
"Severus quickly we must get her to Poppy." He said with out looking at the young man.
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
The head master was unaware of the students as they were either crying or screaming. He couldn't take his eyes of the young woman in front of him, his greatest student mind, covered in her life's blood, barley clinging onto life. When a silent crying began to become a loud roaring sob, Albus looked at the blanket she clutched in her arms, pulling the blanket away from the young woman Albus screamed " Minerva".
Minerva rushed to the headmaster to see Hermione Granger clutching a child covered in blood. "Oh dear god." She said taken the child and rushing out of the great hall followed by Severus who was caring the young woman.
Turning to the student Albus raised his hands to silent them. "Please calm down everything will be fine, finish your dinners and then return to your common rooms. Miss Granger, if you will come with me please".
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Looking at her friends quickly Hermione hurried after the Headmaster. The headmaster and Hermione walked to the infirmary in quiet. When reaching the door the headmaster stopped and placed a hand on the young girls shoulder. "Miss Granger what you see in here must stay in this ward, I'm afraid until we know what has happened you can not tell anyone."
"Headmaster why am I here and not Harry" Hermione asked not sure why the headmaster would want her here and not Harry if it had something to do with Voldemort.
"Because Miss Granger that woman is your future self." The headmaster said as they walked in the infirmary and closed the door behind them.
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Hermione suddenly felt weak and sick. The room was busy with Poppy rushing around between the woman and a baby. Hermione couldn't move she felt like she was glued to the floor, like her legs had become lead. Her eyes glue to the baby and her heart felt like it would be ripped out by its crying. Slowly walking over to the baby lying next to where her head of house was standing she reached out and touched it small face. Tears falling down her face as a sense of rightness and peace seemed to pull thru her heart. The baby seemed to sense her presence and got quiet and opened its eyes and looked at her then quietly went to sleep. "Cassie" Hermione whispered.
Minerva looked at her student then to the child and said, " How do you know her name"
"She is my child, professor I can feel it in my very soul, her name is echoing thru me." Hermione said with out looking at her professor. Nodding her understanding Minerva walked over to where Albus and Severus stood waiting for Poppy to tell them how the older Hermione Granger was doing. Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Severus looked at the woman who lay on the bed as Poppy cleaned and healed her wounds as best she could. Hearing a soft lullaby Severus turned his head to were the baby was and saw the student Hermione Granger singing to the child. Turning from her it was too much for him to bare, if he had any doubts before he knew know that she would never love him, as he loved her. There she stands holding his child, their child. Harry Potters child. Severus heart felt like it was breaking into a thousand pieces. He didn't understand how he had thought no hoped she would love him. Turning back to the woman laying in the bed he couldn't help but see the beautiful woman she was going to become. What had happened in the future that she would risk going back thru time with her child as badly injured as she was. Severus was ripped from his thoughts at the sound of his name being whispered.
"Severus" she called.
Moving closer to the bed Severus Snape took her hand in his and whispered " Shhh your safe now rest, Miss Granger."
Slowly opening her eyes she looked at Severus Snape and smiled sadly. " You haven't called me Miss Granger in over two years".
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end
"What year have I come back too?" she asked weakly.
Madam Pomfrey rushed to her patient's side "I must insist that you rest my dear, your injuries are to grave"
Looking at the medawitch that had become a dear friend in her own time she said "Its alright Poppy , I know I am going to die, I feel death calling me but there are things that must be said."
Looking around her eyes fell on her younger self-holding her child. Feeling a great relief filling her she called to herself "Hermione bring her here please."
Hearing her name coming from her future self Hermione Granger carried her baby to her.
The four Adults watched sadly as Hermione laid the baby next to her dieing future self.
Looking at the Headmaster the future Hermione said "Ron , and Harry they need to be here, I need to see them."
The headmaster just nodded and moved to the fireplace and threw in some floo powder and called the gryffindor common room. Calling their names Albus Dumbledore moved back as Ron followed by Harry emerged from the fireplace.
Looking at the two young men Albus Dumbledore smiled sadly and said " there is someone who needs to talk to you both".
Harry and Ron looked over to ware Hermione and the Professors stood. Walking slowly behind Ron ,Harry couldn't help but feel as if he should turn around and run away from whatever it was, it was as if he knew that whatever it was, was going to break his heart to pieces.
When then reached the bed Ron yelled " oh god Hermione".
Looking at his best friend standing next to Professor Snape Harry refuse to look at the woman in the bed. His heart wouldn't let him.
"Harry look at me please" the voice pleaded.
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Harry could feel his heart and soul begin to crumble. " No I can't, I its not possible" Looking at the Hermione of his time and his best friend Harry couldn't bring himself to look at the woman on the bed , her future self, he could feel her dieing it was like if he was dieing with her.
Hermione walked over to her Harry, "Look at her Harry, look at me." She pleaded
Harry moved to the side of the bed and Ron and Hermione moved to the other side. Harry slowly moved his glaze up her legs and body until it rested on her face. Looking into her eyes Harry could feel his legs begin to give from under him tears running down his face. "Mione" he whispered.
The woman laying on the bed looked in the face of her first love, his beautiful green eyes always seemed to touch her soul. Turning to her other side were Ron and her younger self stood she smiled at them and said "Don't ever forget me Ron,"
Ron Weasley begins to silently cry "Never Mione never".
Turning to Hermione she smiled sadly as she motioned with her hand for her to come closer.
Hermione could feel her future self urging her closer ,moving to were Ron had stood a moment early she reached her hands out to grasp her older self's.
Looking at Harry she smiled sadly. "Forgive me" Pulling Hermione closer with her remaining strength, the future Hermione muttered a spell.
Harry could feel his scream being ripped from his body as a force of power engulfed Hermione and her future self. They could hear her screams, Harry , and Ron rushed forward to help their Hermione, but was thrown back from the spell.
As soon as it had begun it was over. Hermione was thrown back from the bed and would have slammed into the floor had Severus not rushed to catch her. Picking her up and moving her to the bed next to were the other Hermione laid Severus looked over to the other bed and discovered it empty except for the child.
Slowly opening her eyes Hermione could feel everything the other had felt. Oh god the pain of what she had gone thru what they all will go thru. Looking for Harry and then Severus, they were both safe. Thank god they were both safe, "Cassie?" she called.
Albus walked over to Hermione and handed her the child. "We have much to talk about child."
Looking from the headmaster then her daughter in her arms and then to Severus Snape and Harry Potter, "Yes Headmaster we do."
All the memories were filling her mind and heart, her baby's birth, her parents death, the battle, memories of her life with Harry and Severus, the two men she loved.
