Chapt 3 Actions in the future.
She knew it was opposite for them. She remembered the future and not the past.
"So Donovan was killed by Voldemort?" Hermione murmured reaching out her hand and felt Severus grab it.
"Yes. Slightly brought me and Donovan to Voldemort." Severus murmured. "There was no choice because you told us that this plan of action must happen."
"How long was that?" Hermione inquired.
"Sebastion was three so it was seventeen years ago. Hermione, Voldemort killed Donovan, not worrying to use him to find Erin. He has something else. I went back willingly and did things to help him take full control. He has been branching out, content to let his desire to have Erin fall back. I am not trusted enough though he does keep me informed on certain things. He whispers that very soon he will take over the world."
"And how is our world Severus? This world of the future?" Tears silently spilling that Donovan was murdered.
"I can show you Hermione, but it will require Polyjuice and you are not up to it yet." Releasing her hand. "Rest and I promise to take you out."
He went to release her hand and she grabbed it. "Stay Severus. I'm so tired and so many years missed because I do not remember and you do. I don't think I can do this again."
"How you have aged because it seems like yesterday to me and I find my son grown up and you with grey in your hair."
Severus patted her hand. His love surged out but this was awkward, almost mechanical. "Most of the Order is still alive and hidden, biding their time for your arrival. Let's wait a day or two to make sure you do not disappear as in the past. I need to prove that you are truly here and will not leave as in the past. I think it is but I want to make sure. Then I will call the Order to meet."
"Harry and Ron?" Hermione whispered out in a question.
"Mr. Weasley was caught and I'm sorry Hermione. He was tortured and spilled everything and it was a miracle that I was able to rescue a third of the Order. Still we have them so we have help." Severus murmured and stood up.
"Sleep with me Severus." Hermione pleaded. "I feel so alone and I do not remember."
Severus looked to her unsure before he expanded the bed and removed his robes, leaving him in a silk white shirt and trousers and laid down beside her. He sighed out when her arms wrapped around him and settled against him. He absently ran his fingers through her hair before falling asleep beside her.

Erin dreamed, moaning out in her sleep and her watcher grew concerned. It happened for many years and the sleeping witch never remembered when asked.
Ginny Potter shook Erin awake watching the witch stir and sat up shouting. "He knows where I am! He whispers that he will come to me soon!"
Erin sobbed. "Oh Donovan! If he were here he could protect me! Everything is lost as I have no one to love and my father will force the Dark and I will fall into the Abyss!"
Ginny grew alarmed and forced a Sleeping Draught down Erin's throat. All of Hermione's past warnings were coming into play. She watched the witch settle down and sent out her Patronus with a warning to Harry, Slightly, and Severus knowing the pinnacle had been reached as Hermione warned in the past.

Voldemort awoke, finally making contact with his intended. It took seventeen years but it was finally here. Marriage and the rest of the world his, promised by the Dark. He had Europe fully in hand thanks to Severus Snape's bloody acts but had to hold the rest of his plans as the Americans were quite adamant that if he moved one more step, they and the rest of the Wizarding world would fight back and he did not have the numbers to push them yet. There was enough Articles of Agreements sent so he had to bide his time.
He dressed and went to his office at the Ministry of Magic and called his Circle to him.
Voldemort smiled as they arrived and bowed. "My friends it is time."

Hermione awoke disappointed that Severus was not beside her. Moving down the stairs she followed the smell of eggs cooking, stomach rumbling and arrived in the kitchen.
She found Sebastion cooking eggs the Muggle way at the hop, flipping the eggs in a pan.
"Smart for you to not use Magics to be tracked." Hermione whispered out.
Sebastion turned to his mum and smiled. "You look exactly as you were when you left us seventeen years ago and every time you arrived. "I've got beans on toast, sausage, and oatmeal in addition to the eggs. Father was called to Voldemort and he insisted I cook this for you."
Hermione sat at the table noting her son. Same tall lank form along with the long black hair, minus the obsidian eyes of his father, with her warm cinnamon eyes replacing them.
"You are definitely like you father." She murmured as he placed a plate in front of her and tucked into her meal, hunger finally giving out to etiquette and quickly downed it, disconcerted on how her son resembled Severus so much.
He sat down next to her and ate, wiping his lips with a napkin before addressing her. "Father told me to show you everything for we remember you and you do not remember us."
Hermione reached over and held grabbed his hand. "Look into my eyes Sebastion." She commanded softly.
"Father told me I was the best Occlumens he had ever seen bar you and Voldemort. My shield is down." Sebastion murmured and waited.
She held his hand tightly and thought "Legilimens!" and entered his mind.
She entered his mind and began at the beginning when she would leave him when young. Each time she arrived back, the time spent was longer. Always holding him, whispering her love and that he did not understand.
The last time before her current arrival he demanded that she tell him everything and smiled when she gave the little snippets that his father did not, and suffered when he approached him after her passed information.
He willing pushed forward his most recent memories. Father being tortured when Sebastion abandoned Wizarding England and distanced himself away and went to America. His father's anger boiling when he told him his role as a spy for the Americans and he accepted it, knowing it was for the best.
After completing his Potion's mastership, his isolation, his father demanding no sense to get killed as he could provide him intelligence. He protested and his father never wavered. "I took a beating for you when you left boy! I'll feed you and here you will sit until your mother arrives."
His amazement when after his Potions mastership, Severus revealed the true sense of his mum.
He allowed her further in, sensing she wanted to know more of the past than the present.
Her reading to him as a toddler, and when he went to Hogwart's, helping him with his assignments during the summer, her whispering her role to him in 2nd year.
Sebastion felt her leave his mind and watched silent tears slide from her eyes as she lost consciousness.
Hermione targeted his memories and views of Diagon Alley and he willing fed her those, sensing her shock of how downtrodden their world was.
Hermione fell out of his mind and moaned out as it was too much to take. "Oh Gods!" She shouted, passing out and fell out of the chair at the raw emotion she felt from him when she observed his memory and slipped out of her chair, losing consciousness.
Sebastion picked his mother up and took her back to bed, knowing she found several memories of beatings and deaths that he observed while spying on Wizarding villages for the Americans disturbing.
He kissed her forehead and laid her on the bed and tucked her in. "I'm sorry you had to see them Mum."
Waking her with "Inervate." He watched her flutter her eyes open. "What have you seen in the future Mum?" He demanded.
Hermione was groggy. "The end of our world every time before I was sent back." Falling back into the world of Nod.
Sebastion rocked back on his heels shocked. This was the furthest she stayed so maybe there was hope to avoid the end.
Severus appeared next to him. "I see you here with her. Tell me everything and I will tell you what I have gathered."
