Back and Round Again Ch 15
Disclaimer: I own nothing, they are all JKRowling, and I'm just playing with her toys.
It's finally boiling down to a close. This is the end.
~~EE~~
Severus checked Draco over and although there were a few bruises, he was in good condition. "Selena?" Draco murmured moving closer.
Severus's attention shifted to them but he continued to stare at the back of his eyelids. "Selena?" Selena raised her head slightly and looked at him through damp eyelashes. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. She gave a dry chuckle.
"I'm fine, Draco," she replied. "Just tired." She added to relieve him of his doubt. Draco nodded knowing that he wouldn't get the truth out of her and left her by herself.
Severus walked slowly around the room inspecting the walls most likely looking for a weak spot. He completely circled the room twice but found no niche or hole. Without a word he folded his long legs beneath him and sat beside Selena. The time traveler tensed when Severus approached her.
"We could apparate, you know." Severus whispered.
Selena shook her head but Severus waited for Selena to explain. "We have to show our trust."
Severus nodded then waited for Selena to relax once more. "Are you willing to reveal what you concealed?" he asked quietly.
Selena's head shot up as she fixed him with a startling glare. Selena stared at Severus a bit longer as she considered her words carefully, "I thought it might have been obvious."
Severus raised an eyebrow. "Who was your master?" He whispered tentatively.
The time traveler gave a dry chuckle that scare the wizard. "My master?" She asked as if it was the funniest thing in the world but suddenly the door was yanked open and a body was shoved inside.
Draco was the first to react. "Hermione!" He cried scooping her up in his arms.
"Draco," she whispered faintly clutching his shirt. Her eyes were puffy and her eyelashes heavy with tears. Her body shook with suppressed sobs. Draco pulled her into his lap and caressed her with soft kisses.
"They will be happy together." Selena whispered in a heavy voice. "Severus."
The ex potion professor looked at her and was soon had his hand hanging limply around her shoulders.
The couples stayed like that until Alastor Moody opened the door to the barn and told them the Order was ready to hear their appeal. Severus nodded and followed Alastor out of the small room. Draco, Hermione and Selena followed their potions teacher into the burrow.
Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Nymphadora Tonks, Fleur Delacour, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Hestia Jones, Fred and George Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid, Mundungus Fletcher, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody and Ron Weasley stared at them as they entered.
Hermione moved closer to Draco when she spotted Ron. Draco smirked as he slipped his hand into hers and gave her a reassuring squeeze. Molly looked impassive but the twins were grinning and teasing Ron silently.
Mr. Weasley stepped forward looking fatigued. "We, the Order of the Phoenix, agree with you and we will fight with you." Draco looked faint but nodded in agreement with Severus, Selena and Hermione. "However, we will need to further plan and organize."
"We understand," Severus replied softly, "we'll also lend our support in the planning process."
Selena smiled as she realized that they were going to do as she had asked. However at the same time her gut felt heavy. This was it. All her troubles were over. She had gone to the past as her grandmother wanted; she had overseen the healthy romance that Draco had wanted with Hermione rather than the master and slave relationship they had; she had gathered the resistance together and the snake would soon be defeated yet she felt something was missing.
The battle went smoothly with Molly Weasley and her husband removing most of the madman's major pieces and surprisingly Neville Long bottom killing Lord Voldemort while Draco saved Hermione from Nagini by cutting her head off. Of course the duo disappeared from sight shortly after the battle had been completed.
Of course it was no surprise when Severus cornered Selena in an alcove then in a month's time Draco, Hermione, Severus and Selena had a double wedding on one of their camp grounds.
"Let's hope happily ever after last forever." Selena whispered as she fell to Severus's lips.
The End!
Tell me what you think!
I know it finished in a rush but I wanted it to end.
