I don't own a thing.
Hermione watched as the sun showed its face to the world. She knew this could be the sunrise she would see again. Many of the friends that she knew would be dead by nightfall. One man she grew to love would find his grave. She wanted to find a way to save her closest friends but plans would never work as Mother Nature said.
"Why do things have to be so bad?" Hermione looked at the death eaters as they readied them selves for the battle.
" Things are not that bad." Her husband moved her hair from her neck. "We will win and my son will grow and go to Hogwarts."
Things have changed from the first sighting they had a years ago when she was just a young girl that feared him. Lucius scared her with his height and movements; his son challenged her at every turn of the hat. Now he moved her hair from her face because he loved her for whom she is.
"I know that many will die today; many that I grew up with and loved and some that I hated. I could not image a life with out Harry and Ron at my side. Now I have to fear for their loved ones and you. Right now men in the fields are practicing curses that I don't even know. I really don't think that we will win. Our numbers are so few and theirs are in the thousands, tell me that we are going to win. Tell me that I will wake up next to you with more kids growing inside of me. Tell me that we will not end here." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Tell me that you love me."
"I love you Hermione. You showed me how to really love and care. Nassie acted like a sister too me, and when she died it felt like my sister died not my wife. We will wake up in bed and you will carry more than one child of mine. Albus has expected his fate and asked Snape to become the headmaster when he dies. We will move on and we will become a happy family. Anyways I still have to take you to see your long lost friend." He placed her face in his gloved had. "When this is over I want you to have a large wedding that will show the wizarding world that you are my new wife and the mother of my growing son. Will you marry me Hermione." He looked into her eyes with a smile of true love on his face.
Hermione allowed a tear to fall on her face. "When you said that you loved I figured it was because of the child. You don't have to marry me again. I can hide in the shadows until you grew tiered of me."
"No my love you hold my heart." He kissed her.
Albus watched the two and smiled. He hoped that they would love each other but he never figured Lucius giving his heart fully to Hermione and their growing child.
"They look happy." Severus walked from the shadow. "HE is readying the attack. We need to ready the troops. This is going to be a long day."
"Do you know what today is?" Albus looked out of the window and frowned.
"A day of death?" Severus creaked his neck.
"No my dear boy. To day is Christmas. Funny we are giving the biggest gift to the wizarding world…the gift of true freedom." Albus turned towards the two lovers. "You are needed in the Great hall."
