Hermione woke up slowly. Her head was light, and her body felt groggy. It didn't hurt at all though.

"Am I dead?" she asked trying to open her eyes. "No," she heard a familiar voice say, "You're not dead, Hermione."

Her eyes slowly opened and connected with Harry's. She looked up at him in confusion. "Harry? What…what are you doing here? What happened?"

Harry moved the hair from her face and cupped her cheek. "You tried to kill yourself, remember? I found you and we brought you back before you died. I thought I lost you."

Hermione's eyes began to fill with tears. Harry moved forward and pulled her into a hug while she cried. "I'm so sorry Harry. I'm so sorry."

Harry continued to rock and hold her while whispering soft words of comfort to her. Molly saw this and contacted Dumbledore, who arrived shortly.

He sat down in the sitting room and began talking to Harry and Hermione about what had happened between them. Molly left them alone in the sitting room and retreated into Snape's front office.

Suddenly the front door opened and both Snape and Serina walked in. Molly rushed over and pulled her mother into a tight hug. "Mother, what the hell were you thinking?"

Serina laughed at her daughter. "I was being stupid and blind, but no more. Severus here talked me out of it."

Molly pulled back and looked at her mother, and then back at her father, who was actually smiling for the first time since she had seen him.

"Severus and I are going to try and make it work, for everyone here. You will get to know your father, and he will get to know you."

Snape took this opportunity to walk up behind Serina and place a hand on her shoulder. Molly took a look at her parents, and smiled.

"Now we can be a family," she said before hugging both of her parents.

The sound of the door to the sitting room opened and Dumbledore walked out and turned to the family. Snape walked forward toward Dumbledore.

"How is she?" Snape asked with some concern. Dumbledore looked past Snape and at the two women behind him and them back at Snape with a twinkle in his eyes.

"All will be fine dear friend," Dumbledore said with a smile. "All will be fine."

Two months later, Snape and Serina decided to move into the same quarters together. It was a bid step for Severus because he had never had anyone live with him before.

Serina was standing on a ladder, placing her books on his bookshelves in his sitting room. The fire was blazing in the fireplace, providing the only light in the room.

Severus walked in and moved quietly behind her. She turned to start down the short ladder when she noticed Severus standing right behind her. She jumped and fell, right into his arms.

"You need to be careful," he said in a husky voice. "You never know when someone could come up behind you, like this."

Serina looked up into those dark orbs that constantly made her weak in the knees. "I'm sorry," she said with a smile. "Perhaps I need to be punished for letting you sneak up on me."

Snape smiled as he pulled her closer to him and lifted her up bridal style. "I think that a good punishment is in order," he said as he carried her to the bedroom.

He laid her down on the bed and kissed her deeply. He pulled out his wand and muttered a spell, making their clothes disappear. Serina raised her eyebrows.

"In a hurry, Severus?" He smiled. "God, I love you," he said leaning forward and placing little kisses along her collarbone. Serina smiled. "I love you too," she said.

They stayed in their room all night long, in each other's arms.

Somewhere else in the castle, Harry and Hermione were talking about their future together, and stealing kisses in between their conversation.

"I feel better now after that talk with Dumbledore," Hermione said, kissing Harry's cheek.

"I agree, he made a good point," Harry said taking her hands in his and placing a kiss on each one of her knuckles. "Ron would want us to be happy, as well as remember him."

Hermione smiled. "I will always love Ron, but right now, I think I'll love Harry Potter too."

Harry looked up at her with a mock hurt. "I am so glad you thought to add me in," he said fighting a smile. Hermione smiled and leaned forward, planting a kiss on Harry's lips.

"I love you, Harry," she said. He smiled. "I love you too, Hermione."

Molly was in her office, preparing for tomorrow's lesson, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Enter," she said, confused as too who would visit her since she knew her parents were still moving into their quarters together. The door opened and a red head entered. Molly looked up into gorgeous brown eyes.

"Hi, my name is Charlie Weasley. Headmaster said that you wanted someone to come and discuss dragons, since you have little knowledge about their dark arts properties?"

Molly smiled and nodded. "Yes, that was me. Thank you for coming Mr. Weasley. My name is Molly Connor."

"Please, call me Charlie," he said. Molly smiled. "Alright, but only if you call me Molly."

Charlie smiled and nodded. "I think I can handle that." Molly walked up to the front of the room, next to Charlie.

"Well, Charlie, care to join me for dinner in the Great Hall?" Charlie nodded. "Dinner sounds great."

THE END

This story took a totally different direction than I thought and the Harry/Hermione thing just happened. It wasn't really planned. I hope to hear from you soon, and to my reviewers, thank you so much for your support.
