Most of the characters, places and so forth belong to J.K. Rowling. This is Non-Cannon, b/c I wouldn't dare to make Severus different then he is in my mind. Either there is more to it in that book, look at the charms, Dumbledore's moves, so forth or J.K. really doesn't like him as a character. If you haven't read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the last sentence has probably confused you.
Snow slowly cascaded from the sky blanketing the world in white. Hermione watched each snowflake fall as she stared off into an unfamiliar world. Somehow she knew it, yet she could not remember. All around her the world whirled in its silence until a single hand grasped her shoulder. Warmth engulfed her body and she turned smiling to see a handsome man looking down at her, love clearly shining in his obsidian eyes as he pulled her into his embrace. Away from the lonely coldness she had been immersed in.
Waking with a start, Hermione's eyes searched around the hospital room. That man haunted her, his face, his touch, everything haunted her. Yet who was this man and how was this even possible? She hated not having the answers. Seven years forgotten brought up way too many blanks in her mind. Ron and Harry, she would never see them again. Never again running off and endangering themselves with each haphazard act. She could still hear the laughter that had one echoed from all the rooms they were contained in on the days they had shared together.
The only thing she could assume was that there was indeed a child in her and she knew deep down that she loved this child with all that was dear to her. A fierce motherly instinct took over her as a sudden sound from across the room startled her, she grasped her midsection in alarm. An orderly was bringing in some equipment and had Accio-ed her food. She was hungry as ever and plowed into her food, not even minding the ache it brought when she sat herself up in bed.
From the doorway, Severus Snape watched his wife look around and observe. She had that look upon her face, the one of confusion as well as the need to learn all that she possibly could. A look he had learned to love. As the orderly bustled in he pulled away from the doorframe and waited.
Finally finishing her food, Hermione looked up to see the man from her dream peering in at her. The expression in his eyes was on of love yet also of melancholia. When she looked at him she felt something warm inside, there was something more to him then what appeared to be there. Then she was struck once more by his familiar presence. "Professor Snape?" She breathed.
"Yes, Hermione, yes that is me," Severus replied as he walked towards her.
"I…well, I have a husband, don't I?" She raised her left hand showing a platinum ring, "Who is the father of my child?"
He grunted in pain, how could he tell her that she had fallen for him? That he was her husband and the father of the child inside her. No, the mediwizard said she must remember by herself or have a potion of some sort. Which he had advised against for the common medical full memory retrieval potion contained an active ingredient which could harm the baby.
"Yes, you do. I'm not allowed to tell you who he is though Hermione." He whispered shortly after.
Winking up at him, Hermione had a sudden flash of memory:
She was sitting in a large chair outside what looked to the be the Infirmary of Hogwarts, impatiently tapping her foot as Poppy droned on about the process of some test.
Yet when it was over it was clearly positive, she was pregnant.
Laughing she ran down towards the dungeons to a man in black.
Severus Snape looked down at her as she told him that there was going to be a new addition to their family. The memory flash dimmed and she was suddenly snapped back into the reality of today.
"What?" She gasped aloud and looked at him with big eyees.
"It's you, isn't it?" She questioned as she sat back, eyes full of confusion.
"Indeed," he replied and quickly turned to stride out of the room.
