When Severus finally surfaced back into reality, he realized who had done this, and why. He had conflicting emotions for Hermione. Hermione was the one to block his memories. With the curatio spell, she had totally healed all of his wounds, even the emotional. It was ongoing until she used the spell that ends all spells. His past had been covered up when she did that first spell many moons ago, and then the ending spell stored everything in his memory, but there was no key to open it. When she smashed the wall everything he had done in those months had flooded him, until he was barely able to breathe. Finally he fought past the emotions. He was angry at everyone. He was angry at Hermione because she had done it to him, she had been his undoing. He was angry at Albus and Minerva, because they didn't see what was going on, or how different he was. Lastly he was angry at himself. He had finally allowed himself to give his every essence to someone, and it just so happened to be the little twit of a girl from Gryffindor.
Even through all this, the love he felt for her was unimaginable. It was where you had to forfeit your very essence just to be able to stand it. Even through the pain and anger, there was love for not only Ginny, but Harry? He was not sure how to react. He sifted through his own memories, and found instances where he had finally gotten to know Harry Potter. Through his prior hatred, and in his right mind, he deemed Harry trustworthy , that would definitely be something to keep to himself if only for now.
He had become close with two of the infamous trio, who would've thought that this would happen? Then Hermione moved an it brought him back to the present, and out of his thoughts. She was moving backwards, trying to escape the apparent vicious smile that sharpened his features. He didn't know any other way, but he brutally kissed her, forcing passion out of his throat. He couldn't be angry with her, and he couldn't stand to see her hurt. In the midst of it all Severus felt hot tears hitting his chest. He didn't think anything of it until she pulled away, and she was not crying. She stared at him in bewilderment, and he knew he was crying away the walls he had put up in those pathetic years he had been Dumbledore's spy. She walked behind him, and grabbed him from behind. She rested her head on his back, and rubbed soothing patterns in his arms, and what she could reach of his chest. He knew the spell she had placed on him. It was known as the fairytale curse, for you can never truly heal a mind of it's voids.
Whatever we did while under the spell… well that is why she had twins, everything increases twofold. One for each of my minds, because she separated them into two. We love each other more than normal, when we fight it' s more than normal. What came of this? Love, marriage, pregnancy… OH GOD! he thought, None of the pregnancy symptoms have eased up like they should've with Hermione… or Ginny. Please, I pray to the heavens to have me be wrong.
He snapped out of his thoughts, and whirled around. He did the necessary spells, see the inside of her body, as if it was cut open. She stood there stupefied. He saw the twins exactly where they were before, but these were not the glittering replicas, she was not filled with air. They were two growing children in her now. She was filled to the brim with life. He ended the spells, and tried to understand a way he could break the news to Hermione. Worse yet, was that Ginny had undergone the same things, the same potion the same spells. Was it just the one spell that had effected this process, or was Ginny also pregnant yet again?
"Hermione." He said voice gruff, but betraying no emotion.
"Y-yes." She stuttered, betraying her shock.
"How would you feel about more children." he said a small smile betraying him.
"I.. well… I want them, but… we… not… after." She said not being able to come out with a coherent thought process.
"We're going to need four cribs… sweetheart." Hermione's knees gave out, but Severus had expected this, and cradled her, and slid them both to the ground, so she was sitting in his lap. His emotions were hard to choose between. One extreme was telling him to get her the hell off of you, and the other was telling him to whisper sweet nothings in her ear. He decided to go with the latter.
"It'll be fine… we'll be fine." She only sobbed in retaliation then realized…
"Ginny!" Hermione twisted and wound up straddling him, her eyes wide.
"Yes, we have to tell Ginerva that she is in fact pregnant again, literally. I have a feeling that Harry will be delighted."
Hermione was slowly getting to her feet, then Severus did the same, and they floo-ed. Arriving at their fireplace they were welcomed with looks of disappointment. Severus rushed over to Ginerva, and while she was still stunned by his rash approach did the same spells he had done to Hermione. He found the same thing, she was pregnant with a real child. Something in his hed mocked him. Everything was increased twofold. The lies, the love. He turned to Hermione. Not noticing that Victoria Granger was slumped by the doorway.
"Hermione. Everything is increased twofold. Danger, lies, destruction, betrayal. Your father was still alive." Severus wasn't close this time as her knees buckled, and she landed thankfully on the couch in Harry's and Minerva's laps.
While Harry picked her up, Minerva went over to Severus. Her eyes held what seemed like rage. She raised her hand at him, and he cowered. She thought better of hitting him, and spat venomously at him.
"You don't seem to realize what you are doing. I see that everything has come back to you, yet you still treat her like a misbehaving child and someone who has madness that courses through their veins. You think she can handle everything so blatantly honest? Not now, because while your off fighting your demons of closeness and emotions. She is hurting and trying to fix everything without half her heart. You are a self-righteous-egotistical prat Severus! If you have not noticed there is a war going on and you have taken a liking to skulking around in the background. You are going to sit there desperately trying to close yourself off and be too busy to realize your wife and children are dying!"
With that Minerva stormed off. Then Ginny cleared her throat. "What the hell is happening Severus?"
"Ginerva, the potion you drank, and spell you preformed caused you to actually be pregnant. You will have another child when it was time for your first one to come." Severus said rubbing his temples.
"Harry you can stop hiding. I know your happy." Ginny said impassively to what seemed like an empty doorway, but after a moment was full of an almost bursting Harry Potter. Harry knew Severus needed some time to himself, and Ginny held out her hand to Harry, so he could help her get up. Then they both left the room.
Severus walked his bedroom. Their bedroom… He didn't know what to call it, but it was the one Hermione was placed in. He found Hermione awake, and crying, she was sobbing once again this time she muttered something like 'I left him there' He knew when she awoke she would be like this, but he didn't realize his heart would be so pained. He slowly walked over to the bed and let go of his inner battles if only for a moment. Whispering a child's promises into a grown woman's ear, because she needed to hear them.
