Hermione grunt, muttered. She cannot open her eyes but her ears can hear the voices around her. She grunt again. Her head is so heavy to lift, her body too weak to move, her throat is sore and dry.

Her body is hydrated.

How long has she been unconscious? Where has she been? What is this place? Why are the voices so loud around her?

"Urgh please turn off the radio". someone shakes her body. Her eyes still can't open it. "Please.. turn it off.."

"Hermione?" She can hear Harry's voice as he shakes her body. "Can you hear me, Hermione? Are you alright?"

She breathed, laying her palm on her forehead. "Harry..? Why so loud.. where am I?" her eyes gently open, her sight blur. Trying to get her sight back and see Harry right in front of her.

"You're in Burrow. You've been unconscious for like two and half hours. I think. Are you alright?"

"I think I see someone who is already dead. He's in my house.. he was there.. he called me by my name".

Harry shakes her body again. "Who? Who exactly do you see in your house, Hermione?" he asked.

"Snape..."

Everything went silent. Ginny pushes Harry aside, gives Hermione water and she drinks it till it drains.

She was totally thirsty.

Hermione gained her consciousness leaning on the back of the sofa. Rubbing the side of her head. She felt dizzy.

Ginny takes a seat beside her. "Hermione? Do you want ice cream for your head?".

"Ginny! Not the ice cream, it's ice for her head. Ice cream for you to eat". Ron jerked his eyes. "Too much practice on your broom, ice cream and ice you can't make a difference".

Hermione chuckles. She is still trying to get her sight back. "I know dimwit! I was asking if she needed the ice cream for her tummy".

"She's just conscious and you ask her if she needs an ice cream. Are you bloody out of your mind, Ginny!"

This time. Hermione laughs so hard, towards the Weasley's siblings Ron and Ginny. And suddenly her eyes wide open.

"Henry? Ginny, my baby!" She jumped off the sofa but stumbled. She cannot stand by herself. Harry and Ron caught her by arm. "My baby.. Henry".

"Henry is fine. Look". Harry pointed his finger at the end of the room. End of the room, Snape cradles his son in his arms. The baby is asleep. "Henry is fine, Mione".

She scream like mental. Baby Henry awakened because of her screaming. Molly quickly snatched Henry's from Snape's arm. He stood there and didn't know what to do.

"Snape is DEAD! WHO ARE YOU! WHY YOU TOOK MY SON!" Harry and Ron are caught by her arm again. She wants to kill the man who looks like Snape. "Let GO off me!"

"Calm down Hermione! Henry is fine! Calm yourself down!"

She is about to pounce. Ginny stops her. "Hermione shut up!" she slapped Hermione right on her cheek.

Molly hushes the baby. Arthur scratches his back head. Snape's eyes were shocked. Ginny is breathing heavily. Hermione was shocked.

"Are you mental?! What will you get as you scream? You don't know that man, Hermione? That man is the one you love. That is Severus Snape and his alive".

"NO! Snape is dead. We buried him on the ground. Harry, Ron.. you saw that right, that night Nagini bit his neck. Voldemort left him for dead. I was there.. we were there. We watch".

Harry smiled a bit. His hand cupped her face. She cried. "Tell me it wasn't, Harry. I beg you please.. he's not Snape.. please".

"He is Hermione. That man you saw in your house is Snape. The same Snape you see him right now. He returned because of Henry. He is alive through his son. I know this sounds crazy, Mione. He still Snape the greasy git we know".

Snape frowns, eyeing Harry. Greasy git? I am the beautiful one and only Severus Snape. He thought. Harry calms her down.

"He is".

Moments later. Ginny gently creeps downstairs. Upstairs where Hermione and Snape were alone inside the room. The other waited in the kitchen. Ginny enters.

"That room was so tense. I barely entered. It's our fault because we keep Snape's secret not to tell her. Now look at what we've done".

Harry leaned on a chair as his eyes on Henry, sleeping inside his cribs. Molly still has those cribs with her. The cribs have been used for the last born of the Weasley's family. Ginny.

His eyes looked above his head where the room Hermione and Snape were in.

"I repeat. Tensed. Hermione will hate us".

"Ginny dear. Hermione won't hate us. You best hope she's not!" she pointed. "Does anyone notice Snape? He's beautiful and young".

Ron rolled his eyes. "Mum fancies him again". he turns to Harry, snickering. "How many times do we need to talk about how beautiful Snape is? For me, his still bloody greasy git".

"He's the bravest man, Ron". said Ginny smacked over his head for no reason.

"Oi! What was that for?"

Above their head. Snape studied her. She just awakened from her unconsciousness and now this. She found out he was still alive and lied to her. He tries to reach her hand, she shovels it away. She didn't dare to look in his eyes.

"My love... my sweet love Hermione". his mouth hangs open. "I am sorry if my return makes you uncomfortable. People in the kitchen downstairs know about me before you because I ask them not to tell you yet. I am afraid".

Hermione said nothing. "You are my strong love. We won the battle". and she needs to know how he does it. "I was there when you became Harry's that night. I was afraid something would happen to you and you didn't think twice for risking our son's life".

"How dare you drink Polyjuice Potion to act as decoys while you are pregnant!" he gritted his teeth. Hermione clutched her hand until it turned white. "Hadn't you thought of it! Polyjuice potion could kill you both".

After killing Albus Dumbledore and fleeing the school, Snape once more rejoined the ranks of the Death Eaters.

In the summer Snape informed Lord Voldemort that Harry was to depart from Dursleys house, four days before his birthday. On Dumbledore's orders, Snape told the Death Eaters the correct date so as to continue Voldemort's trust in him.

Snape then fed Mundungus Fletcher the idea of using seven decoys of Harry Potter during his movement to a place of safety so that when the Death Eaters arrived, they would not know who the real one was.

In order to be consistent in his own role as a Death Eater, Snape confunded Fletcher so that he would not remember who told him.

Because of Severus' information, when the Order of the Phoenix moved Harry from Privet Drive they were ambushed by Death Eaters, and the Battle of the Seven Potter ensued.

During the battle, Snape accidentally sliced George Weasley's ear off with Sectumsempra while aiming at another Death Eater.

Shortly after the battle. He went to nowhere and cried knowing Hermione is one of them, disguised as Harry's. She could be killed that night.

"How selfish you are!" he shouted. Hermione jolted, she never heard him like this. "You think I was so happy to become the Headmaster in Hogwarts. I used his position as Headmaster to discreetly protect the students and to contain the Carrows. I continued to receive instructions from Dumbledore's portrait".

Hermione tears drop on her laps. Still not a word from her. "I took the real sword, hid it in a frozen pool of water, and my Patronus guide Potter to it. There's a lot of things that happened that I couldn't forgive myself, I hurt you more and more and how selfish I am I let it happen to you".

"I made my promise to keep all of you safe". Both Snape and Hermione cry. "Remember that night my duel with Minerva? I killed the Carrows with my good defense then I fled the castle. The last time I saw you was when I was dead in Shrieking Shack. I don't know what happened after that".

Back downstairs. Ginny leaned on the side of the kitchen counter table. "I hear someone scream or just me?"

"Voldemort almost got me and Shacklebolt that night". she said. Snape eyes met her. "We've been attacked by five Death Eaters. I stroke my belly, telling myself that everything is going to be fine". she wiped her tears then chuckled. "Krum was there at Bill and Fleur's wedding. He's happy to see me".

Snape drops his knee in front of her. Hermione was shocked.

"Our lives were different back then. I may not be a good father to my son. I can't imagine growing old with anyone else, nor do I want to. I know you're the only one I want to share the rest of my life with. As I ask you.. Hermione Granger. Will you let me be the one?"

He showed her the ring. Hermione pounced on top of him, his back laid flat on the floor as they two shared a passionate kiss.

A kiss they have been longing to taste. "You're a mine insufferable know it all". he muttered between their kisses. "Tell me you are mine.. my love".

"I'm yours.." she breathed between the kisses. "And I'll say yes".

Snape bite her bottom lips, and continues kissing her lips. "Mine... mine Mrs Snape".

"I hear Snape shout then we all hear something heavy dropping on the floor. What does that mean? They punched each other's faces?" ask Ginny, crossed her arm on chest. "I'm going upstairs to see what happens".

"NO!"

Everyone screams and does not agree with Ginny's suggestion. Ron glaring at her. "You're so nosy, Gin. Maybe she's right". now Ginny glaring at Ron back. "What if really Hermione and Snape punched each other in the face?"

"What do you expect from Ickle Ronnikins? Of course they will. Snape lied to her for years. And the next thing we knew Granger ran downstairs and punched one of us in the face".

George chuckled. He turns to Molly and Arthur. "Not including you two. You both to precious Hermione wouldn't dare".

"I expect something else". said Harry as he looked at Ginny. George knows what Harry means by that. "Disgusting. I know George".

"What?" Moments later. Hermione walking downstairs follows Snape behind her. She entered the kitchen with a smile. "Don't tell us, Granger. I won't hear it".

Molly approaches. "What is it dear?" She showed them the ring. "My goodness! Arthur?" Molly turns to him. "Looks like someone getting married".

"WHAT?!"

"True". Snape standing beside Hermione. "I cannot stand to be apart from her. So I ask her".

Ron snorted. Harry smiled. Ginny's mouth hangs open. George walked out of the house. Molly and Arthur are amazed.

"We two have a son. I can't let my son live without his father. So I want all of you to be blessed. I'd never felt so happy till this day in my life".

Harry got up from chair, walk towards Snape. Both men shook hands. "You will take care of her, Snape. Promise us". he nods.

.. "Always.."
