AN- Wow, I'm astounded by the amazingly positive response I've gotten! I
expected at least a few flames! Thank you all so much. I realized after I
posted, that Hermione's son referred to an "Unca Drake." I just wanted to
reassure you that there are no Gary-Stu's; he's talking about someone else,
a canon character. (I might as well just spoil it; because you've probably
all figured out I'm talking about Draco Malfoy already) Here are a few
responses to reviews:
Tigerfanfry: Future Snape and Hermione? No. ...just kidding, of course there is. (
Nore: Thanks, I didn't even realize I wasn't allowing them. I appreciate you telling me, it's fixed now. Acerus sounds ok, I'll put it on my potentials list, but I've seen another Snape/Hermione child called Marcus, so I think I won't use that one.
Incensio Lady: You think Hermione is from Hermes? I'd always assumed it was Shakespearian. Yes, the purebloods do like more obscure things, don't they?
Barghorse: Yes, I've noticed they have lots of girls too, but genetically it really is 50/50, so...

Here are the lyrics to the song that inspired the story. It's by Alan Jackson, and it's called "She's All I See (Between the Devil and Me)"
This world can take you by the hand
And tempt the soul of any man
But you can choose your path
There's two roads you can take
One way is right and one is wrong
The flesh is weak, but love is strong
And she's all I see, between the devil and me
The gates of hell swing open wide
Inviting me to step inside
"I'll be your friend" he calls again,
I know it's him
The flames are spreading everywhere,
But through the smoke I see you're there
She's all I see, between the devil and me I hold her in my arms tonight
So safe and warm, I close my eyes
And a cool breeze blows across our bodies in the dark Outside here reaches my concern
Somewhere I know the fire burns
And she's all I see between the devil and me
The gates of hell swing open wide
Inviting me to step inside
"I'll be your friend" he calls again,
I know it's him
The flames are spreading everywhere,
But through the smoke I see you're there
She's all I see, between the devil and me
The gates of hell swing open wide
Inviting me to step inside
She's all I see between the devil and me

Hermione walked down the corridor with a small hand clutched in hers. She really was quite flustered. Was this the future, or an alternate dimension, or perhaps a hallucination? She had thought about it some, and hadn't come up with anything solid, other than that Snape seemed to be from her time too. Not that he was the best of company, in fact, Hermione could think of a great multitude of people she'd rather have here with her.
The boy was lagging behind, so Hermione scooped him into her arms. There, she took the time to study his face better. Black hair that lay on his head, a round face, with sparkling brown eyes. He was a very cute baby, with a sturdy little chin and a nose that she distinctly identified as hers. That was, perhaps, the most amazing thing for Hermione. This little creature looked so much like her. But who else did he resemble? She searched his face for Harry's features, or Ron's. But this child looked nothing like either of them, and she couldn't find a single feature consistent with any guy's she knew. He had no baby fat left on him, but was lean and tough. Hermione tentatively addressed him, "Honey? What's your name?"
He took a deep breath, and then recited, "My name is Jakken Sirius Alexander Snape." Hermione stopped dead.

Harry, Draco, and Pansy reached the headmaster's office after about 10 minutes of brisk, silent walking. Pansy had tears coursing down her bloated cheeks, while Draco looked stony faced. Harry felt too apprehensive to cry or scowl. He hoped that Hermione was ok, and the she would be back tomorrow. The trio reached the headmasters office, and after a few minutes of guessing candies, found themselves dashing up a spiral staircase. When they arrived at the landing and burst into the room, Harry and Pansy both launched into elaborate stories about what had happened, and in their haste to get the story out, ended up only producing a horrible and incomprehensible racket.
"Silence!" came Dumbledore's ringing voice. Harry looked gratefully at the headmaster, but was confused and irritated when the headmaster asked Draco to explain the events that had transpired in the potions class. After Draco finished, Harry was quite surprised by how impartially and accurately he had described things. When Dumbledore asked him if there was anything he wanted to say, Harry admitted Draco had covered everything. Dumbledore nodded gravely, and turned to Pansy. This caused a fresh onslaught of tears, along with many sobbed excuses and apologies. When they had all had their say, the students sat back and waited for their teacher to tell them what would happen.
Dumbledore, amazingly, was calm. Instead of immediately taking action, he continued eating chocolate sweeties. When he had eaten 2 more, he set the bowl down, and told them, "I do not know exactly what has happened, but if I were to venture a guess, I would say that I imagine Hermione and Severus have gone into either the future or the past. I also would think it was the future, because I do believe I would recall them going into the past, assuming the potion was made correctly and the amount of sand you think spilled into the potion. Hopefully they will be back soon. Until then, I think you two (here Dumbledore gestured to Harry and Draco) should research time travel, and you (he indicated Pansy) shall study enhancement potions."
This proclamation met with great opposition, from Harry in particular. But Dumbledore insisted, and because he was the headmaster, they had to do as he said. Upon their exit from his office, Pansy dashed off in the direction of the dungeon, seeking solstice in her common room. Draco, however, did not follow her. Instead, he turned to Harry, and asked, "What do you know about time travel?"
Harry, who was irate after the meeting with Dumbledore, was short with the Slytherin. "Not much."
"Very well, shall we to the library?" Draco asked with an odd expression on his face.
Harry rounded on the other, and demanded, "What's your problem Malfoy? Why are you acting so freakishly cordial?"
Draco looked puzzled for a second, then smoothly replied, "Can't a snake shed old skin?"
Harry glared, "A snake, yes, but not a ferret."
Draco merely raised an eyebrow and didn't deign to reply, but instead turned on his heel and stalked off toward the library.

AN2- Terribly short, but I promise a long one over the weekend to make it up to you, ok? Don't worry, Draco isn't being nice, he has a plot. Mwahaha. I'll have more SS/HG for you later. They aren't going to hook up while in the future though. In fact, I've already got their eventual linkup planned.
Jakken's name was an inspiration of mine. I was going to go with Orion, but that seemed too clichéd. Then I was liking Jack, but too boring. So Jakken is his name. Sirius is obvious in origin (Hermione apparently won that particular battle) and Alexander sounded like a Snapish name. Eventually we'll go to the past, then maybe a sequel that will bring us to Jakken's birth, at the least. It's pretty much dependant on demand.
Please note the rating will go up later. Probably to high R, a far cry from what I do now, but that's not for a while. There'll be some coupling, and violence. The abuse was sketchy PG-13, but I think it's probably ok.
Please review and tell me what you think and want!
