Rememberance Author Notes: This is in answer to a Challange set of WIKTT where I joined recently and I rather an amused by the idea and decided that I would give my hand at it. I have no beta so here is the story. My Grammer leaves alot to be desired but..that is as it is.

Please note that all the characters belong to J.K Rowlings and I only play with them like a good like girl I put them back at the end of the day. The next chapter will be the risky chapter so I will be rateing this fic R just in case, and it will be Yule. ^_^. So far he's avoided direct questions lets see if he can keep it up onces shes there.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~~**~*~*~* A Stormy Morning ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The sound of Thunder awoke both of them and Hermione clung to him, it was like the War all over again, the sound of battle outside could have been akin to storms, and it was blodd that rained down rather then water.

"Shhhh.." he soothed her petting her hair ,his fingers went through her hair gently.He was still mostly dressed which denied the romance of the situation. Hermione wore a simple pair of P.J's with cats on them.

"I am sorry." she murmured looking up at him from her lowered lashes. His body was warm and enticeing to her. She slept beneath the cover, him atop them with a light blanket,he didn't want to be improper,he was very much a gentleman to her surprise despite the anger and the darkness he projected in her youth not that she was old.

"For what?" he asked he had been awake apparently longer then she had and he raised his eyes to her from the book he was reading.

"The time I kissed you and we.." she tensed up and her mouth formed a tiny "o" as she recalled the whole night. "And we.." she gasped had she been blocking that from herself. It was why his touch was so damn framiliar. She felt all the more worse for it then.

"You ran because you were scared Hermione, I wasn't a good man, I still am not a good man, but I am a man trying to make up for past wrongs." he murmured as he let her up as he got to his feet.

"You saved my life that night." she murmured as she watching him summon his shoes to him.She had forgotten what being around a wizard was like. She found it pleasent again and not at all haunting. "You have to let me write about you Severus.." she had that tone that was half pleading and he sighed.

"Come to Hogwarts for Yule, Hermione..." he said as he looked up at her. "If you do, I will try to help I do not promise to answer every question you ask, but for old times sake I feel I owe you to know something about me." his tone was brisk as thought that was the finally of it. "I have to get back to Hogwarts, I missed my ride out so I'm going to have to magic myself back." he murmured."I so look foward to the Longbottem twins, blowing up there cauldrons." he said dryly and with out humor.

"I will see you in a few months, Hermione." he murmured once he was finished packing and had a cup of coffee. He swept her into his arms for a kiss, that was neither shy or innocent, his lips seemed to be demanding and wanting of her but at the same time wary, she was dizzy when he released her, and smiled to him.

"Owl me and I swear this time to get them." he said as flicked his wanded and slowly faded, he had his own personal spells he taught no one. She agreed readily enough to write him and she sank onto the empty bed, the room was empty but she no longer was.

That final kiss had been a demanding question that Severus Snape could not bring himself to ask her. So her body had answered him and his hers. For the first time in years she felt things were as they should be.

~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~* Troubles ~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The door to her office in London opened and a slender fellow with silver blonde hair entered, that got her on her guard and she jerked to a sitting up postion, Draco Malfoy. "I had thought you dead." she managed and he only sneered at her, though there was no way he could intimidate her like her potions master could.

"Yes well great exzagerated and all that rot." he hissed softly and watched her."How could you write about it mud-blood, are you going to make all of yourselves out to be hero's ?" he demanded "when you killed my father who was only attempting to save you from your own wretched exsistance." there was a light that was'nt quiet right in Draco's eyes."Maybe I ought to finish the job with you." he added.

"I didn't kill your father Draco, Snape.." she hissed softly as the images replayed over in her mind again.

Severus was dressed in his Death Eatter Robes and she had been in his Professor Robes,because they had hid in the under ground base and gotten some greatly needed sleep, Severus had planned on infiltrating the building by himself, but she had gone with him and had been a great help, it was when they had gotten to Lucious that things had gotten deadly, he had flung a hex of some sort at her, and she had deflected it well, but Draco had lunged for her and both went down in a heap, Lucious had hit her with a torture hex and she had coiled up, trying to get away from that pain, Snape who despite his profession seemed to be a master at dueling, for the next thing she knew a eerie light went off around his wand and Lucious's whole face blanked, then the man turned and threw himself down the stairs, he was dead before he hit the ground.

Snape had used Black Magic, and she had spared Draco, hopeing the best for him, she realized that prehaps rather then spare him she'd tortured him. He leaned foward and caught his fingers into her curly hair and yanked her foward by it, his kiss was brutal and she bit him hard, her wand in her hand, and unshakeing to her amazement. "Get out Draco Malfoy, or I will make it so you don't leave."

Again he looked back to her and laughed. "Tell your dear Severus that I haven't forgotten and the Dark Lord Will Rise again." he turned and disappeared back out the door into the crowd.

Hermione watched him go and winced, she pulled out the note book and scribbled more into it in her flowing script. There would be more to the confrontation then that she knew, and promptly haveing finished her notes she wrote a letter to Professor Snape.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Letters*~*~*~*~~*~~*~*~**~~*~**~~**~*~~*~* My Professor, I had a rather disturbing visit this eve, so disturbing that I don't really wish to write more then this, Draco Malfoy sends his greetings and that the Dark Lord will rise, I have not seen any other signs of this so I wonder if your "mark" has returned or not. Hopeing you are well and that Yule arrives her soon. Yours in thoughts, Hermione.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miss.Granger I assure you that the "mark" is not active at all, and that I had some friends look into it and Malfoy junior should be in a Asylum in Nottingham, but apparently he bought his way out. I want you to be careful around him Hermione he can be dangerous he is quiet crazy. It saddens me to see any of my children go along such paths, especially ones I had high hopes in. I am well however, and the Longbottem twins have been strangle silent on the accident front, apparently trying to catch me off guard. Reguards, S.S.S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She filed that note away with all the others he sent, her some were more personal then others but over all, he was himself and that was what was important to her. She rested her head to the table, she had unearthed some other information on the War and was off to follow it soon.

Despite her wanting Yule to get there sooner, she had no idea how quick it would truely be, because her next line of research had taken her the better part of months. She decided to add a section of the book to those lost, she had been planning it with Ron Weasley ...but now she had more ideas.
