Chapter 2

As soon as Voldemort had finished the long ceremony, Severus reached for Hermione's hand and rushed the two back to the Hogwart's gates.

"Ms. Granger," he said as they hurried to the castle doors, "We must go talk to Dumbledore immediately."
"Yes, sir," she said, still scared from her trip to Hell.
"Also," he said in a low, mysterious voice, "do not speak of this to anyone else."
"Yes, Professor." And with that, the Professor and Hermione (Hermi-Anne!) continued their long walk that would complete their long night.

As they reached the gargoyle, a wide-awake Professor Dumbledore was waiting for them.

"Severus, Hermione, I noticed that you both were missing, though where, I could not place. Care to share your story?"
"Albus," Severus started, "I think it would be best if we continued this sitting down."
"Then there must be a tale to tell. Let's go to my office."

As they made the climb, realization took its toll on Hermione. She was married to the most feared, not to mention hated and evil Professor in all of Hogwarts. Maybe even all of the wizarding world. Of course, that wasn't the only thing she realized. She would have to produce a child. Not just any child. Their child.

"Ms. Granger, please take a seat," Dumbledore said noticing she wasn't quite with the rest of the world, "Its ok, the chair won't eat you," he said smiling.
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore."
"Now, out with the story."
"Well," Hermione said hesitantly, "Professor Snape and I were married."
"I see. Wizard marriage, I presume?" He said, trying to remain calm for them.
"Yes, Albus," Severus said.
"And who presided?"
"Voldemort," they answered simultaneously.
"I think I would like to hear the story from the start. Ms. Granger, please go first."
"Well, Professor, I was watching the stars out by the lake. There was a meteor shower occurring and I thought that it might be nice to just relax and enjoy nature, when I guess you would call it an invisible force started to carry me away. So I reacted like any twenty year old female and screamed and hope someone would hear me. I kicked and failed, but the thing just said, 'Kick me and see what happens again.' I stopped right then, of course. My heart must have been going 130 beats per minute. Then, the person apparated me to Voldemort's lair. I just stood silently as I listened to him. He was announcing a traitor, Professor Snape. My heart stopped beating about then. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. When I heard the words crucio, I felt like. I just don't know..."
"Ms. Granger," Professor Snape interrupted, "we, despite what you would like to think, do not have all the time in the world for your soap opera story."
"Severus," Albus said in a warning tone, "Continue, Hermione."
"Well, then when I actually saw Severus, my mind just wouldn't compute. Voldemort then told us we were to be married. He's a sick, crazy, and obviously more complicated man then I would ever have thought. I came up with the theory that he was just trying to make Snape loose his job, for being with a student, so he wouldn't have contact with you."
"Good theory my child. Now, what ritual did he perform to bond you to Severus?"
"He had us cut each other's wrists and split the combined amount of blood and drink it," Albus nodded thoughtfully. "Is that all of your story?" She nodded. "Well, Severus. Please share your story."
"I was just about to try and sleep when I felt my mark burn. I should have known, really. He has called us several times on a full moon. When the mark burned, I retrieved my garb and left. When I arrived, I sensed a change in his mood, and when I heard him say, 'traitor' I could feel my end arriving. My heart was also beating quite rapidly and when he called me forward, I could do nothing. He caught me 'red handed' I think they call it in the muggle world. Then he pronounced that I would have to marry a...a mudblood and have a child with her. I believe he is trying to spoil the purity of one of the oldest lines. Whatever his reasons may be, he married me to Ms. Granger. Eternally."
"Yes, well, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. I must ask you to keep this, for the moment, in secrecy, until we find a way around it.
At that, Hermione's eyes dropped. She needed to get to the library quick, so she ran.
