Epilogue

Hermione Granger-Potter became Hermione Snape two months later in a double wedding with Ron Weasley and Luna Lovegood-Weasley. A reviewer from the Daily Prophet commented that both couples were laughing and excited on the big day. Future plans for the new Mrs. Snape included doing graduate work at Beauxbatons Academy the next year after the birth of her daughter.

A little less than nine months later, tiny Jane Elizabeth Snape arrived. Hermione, holding her baby girl, was glad that she'd been able to pass on her mother's name to the tiny child. She was, however, quite surprised at the frequent visits of 'Uncle Harry' to play with the little girl. She also noted for the first time how well he and Severus seemed to get along together.

Hermione began her graduate work in Potions at the Academy the next year and graduated with highest honours. Life, it would seem, was finally turning around.
