As it was a poison and then she reached the last one she was confused but moved the rod the potion was thick but didn't have a smell, it was also a clear colour she frowned she had a feeling that it was Severus who made the samples from the Wolfs bane knowing he was the only one who could brew it.

It was only when she noticed it was quite sticky as it stuck to the rod that she remembered it as anit-venom the stuff he had used on Arthur when Nagini attacked him she jumped back in shock and felt sick as she was flung back to the final battle when she saw Nagini attack him in the shack.

Hermione registered someone rushing to her and placing her on to a chair but she was too wrapped up in the memory there was so much blood and the smell and before she knew it she was stuck in one of her flashbacks...

Hermione, Ron and Harry were near the shrieking shack when they heard Voldemort and Snape talking about the elder wand Hermione was worried for Severus she knew deep down that he was on their side Dumbledore trusted him and she had also discovered the truth and took a vow to protect the truth she knew Dumbledore went into hiding making it look like Severus killed him to gain favour with Voldemort she was so worried but she knew Harry and Ron didn't' know just yet so she just waited and listened.

''Severussss you came''

''Of course my lord''

''Such a loyal follower Severussss however the wand doesn't seem to work''

''My Lord you have performed extraordinary magic with this wand, in the last few hours alone'' Severus said bowing to him

''No, no i am extraordinary, but the wand it resists me'' Voldemort said watching as Nagini slithers about

''There is no wand more powerful. Olivander himself said it. Tonight you'll see when Potter comes it will not fail you, I'm sure of it, it answers to you, and you only my lord'' Severus said knowing his life is about to end

''Does it?'' Voldemort said in a soft whisper

''Sorry my lord?'' Severus was confused

''THE wand Severussss does it truly answer to me? you're a clever man Severussss. Surely you must know where it's true loyalty lies'' Voldemort said his eyes flashing red

''With you my lord''

Hermione's heart was beating wilder she thought that they could hear it as it was beating that fast

''What is he doing, he's lying to him'' Harry said confused

Hermione hissed at him to shut up and continued to listen

''No Severussss the Elder Wand cannot serve me it cannot be mine or serve me properly, because I am not it's true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the Wizard who killed it's last owner. You killed Dumbledore, Severussss, While you live the Wand cannot truly be mine...You have been a good faithful servant Severussss but only I can live forever'' he finally finished in a whisper

Severus panicked he watched as Voldemort hissed something to the snake he couldn't' help but be glad that he had taken the anti venom. ''My Lord''

Voldemort looked at his snake and commanded ''Nagini Attack'' and then he vanished

Hermione, Harry and Ron all winced while Harry comforted Hermione as they heard Nagini attack Severus it wasn't' long and Hermione was running into the shack ''Oh no Professor hang on''

''T...take them''

Hermione noticed the tears and realised it was the memory that Harry needed that she had been bound to not speak of ''Harry, a vile quick'' Hermione captured the tears and handed them to Harry before looking back at him.

''T...take...take them to the pensive'' Severus said looking at Hermione knowing she would get him to view them.

Hermione nodded ''I'll come back for you, just hang on'' she said sadly as she kissed the top his head while Harry and Ron talked.

''Miss Granger? Miss Granger can you hear me''

Hermione snapped out of the memory and looked up with cold eyes she had tears rolling down her cheek as she recognised the mediwitch and examiners ''I'm fine''

''Miss Granger what happened, the examiner said you were looking at a potion and collapsed''

Hermione shakily stood up and blinked her eyes a few times ''I'm ok, it was the last Potion, i remembered it from the warm it just brought up some horrible memories''

She looked up ''I have finished anyway, i just need to write the name of the last potion down''

The examiners and Mediwitch nodded and allowed her to write the final name down on the parchment before taking it from her ''Well, all that's left to say is congratulations on completing your Potions exam, we will have them marked and your headmaster will receive the scores. it was a pleasure to meet you Miss Granger''

Hermione shook each of the examiners hands she was a little shaky but she had done it, finally she was finished all that was left was Graduation and then she would be home with her kids.

The mediwitch looked concerned ''Come along Miss Granger, i have a dreamless sleep in my office''

Hermione just nodded still dazed she felt sick as she got closer to the medical wing she rushed to the bin and threw up she felt the mediwitch hold her hair back

''Get it all up Miss Granger you'll feel better'' She watched as Hermione threw up a few more times and once she was done she conjured a glass of water for her to drink before sitting her on a bed and heading for her office to grab a sickness potions and dreamless sleep ''Here take these''

Hermione shook her head ''Dreamless Sleep doesn't work on me Madam, but I'll take the Anti-sickness potion thank you''

''Might i ask why it does not work''

''Because i took it so much as have many people I know due to the war that I became immune to the stuff and it no longer works it may put me to sleep for an hour max and that's it so I can't take the stuff''

The mediwitch shook her head sadly, as she looked at the young woman in front of her she couldn't' believe that someone so young had to fight in a war.

Yes she had heard all about the Golden Trio and how there lives have been threatened since the age of eleven and how they have been fighting since then it still shocked her knowing that those innocent kids had to see and suffer so much ''I'm sorry Miss Granger i cannot even begin to imagine all you went through''

Hermione shook her head ''It's fine, honest I'll cope''

''Very well, there if your sure your well enough you may leave''

''I'm fine thank you'' Hermione got up and headed to her rooms she wasn't sure if Becky would be back yet so she made her way back she wold send a patronus to Harry soon to let him know she finished her exams.

Once Hermione walked into her rooms she relaxed since the incident she found it hard to let her self relax a little she was still alert it would take time for her to relax a little but it didn't help that she had a feeling that something was wrong nor the feeling of receiving bad news she looked around and just before she sat down Becky walked through.

''Good timing hun, now we can have food while it's still hot'' Becky said grinning

Hermione chuckled ''You go get in your pyjamas while I serve the food, your useless and make a mess so I may as well do it''

''Excellent'' Becky rushed of to her bedroom to get herself washed and changed.

Hermione pulled out two plates then set about taking the Chinese out of the bag, she placed half of the chicken rice on to her plate along with half of the chew mien, before placing the other half on to Becky's plate once she did that Hermione opened the bag of chicken balls and there were ten in total so Hermione placed three on each plate before putting the spare to one side.

Once she did that Hermione pulled out the chicken curry and shared it out between them followed closely by Becky's crispy chili shredded beef however she placed a little portion on to her plate she didn't' like it that much once she had that sorted she magically levitated the plates to their small dining table while she carried the cans of pop.

Becky came out of the bedroom all relaxed and her stomach rumbled as she saw the food ''mmm i have been looking forward to this, it's a shame that this is our last one''

Hermione smiled sadly at her friend ''It isn't we can always get take out when were out, besides in the holidays we can get one at my place, Harry enjoys a good Chinese as much the next person and we will see each other just not most days like we do at Uni''

Becky sighed ''Yeah i guess so, anyway why do you look so pale''

Hermione decided to be honest with her friend although she felt her face flush ''I had to look at the potions and Identify them when I came to one I wasn't sure off, i moved the rod a few times and when I recalled what it was, i had a flash back from the war and all I could see and smell was blood lots of it, it felt real to me of course since it was a flashback and i guess I fell to the floor in shock I wasn't ready to see that potion again and after the events of yesterday I guess made me more open to memories''

Becky looked alarmed ''What was the potion?''

''Anti-Venom''

''Why...''

''Because Voldemort had a big snake called Nagini she was a magical poisonous snake he used her to punish people he would feed the snake Death Eaters most the time after he has killed them for failing his rules or orders. Ron's father was attacked by the snake once and Severus created the antidote to the venom although it wasn't as brilliant as it could have been back then as he had no access to Nagini's venom so he was using a normal snake venom in hopes it would help and it did along with magic they flushed out the poisoned blood and replaced it he was soon on the mend.''

Hermione closed her eyes ''At the final battle I used it on...on Severus as well as other things to make him survive he had his throat ripped open by Nagini as punishment I just managed to save him''

''Wow, does he know because that is one big ass debt''

Hermione shook her head ''No, and he isn't going to know what I did to save him, he knows I gave him the potion and blood replenisher but that is all, i don't' want him to think he owes me a life debt I wont' have him being controlled by another person he deserves to have his own life and live it like he wants to now''

Becky nodded in understanding ''I understand, however I hope you ok now seeing that potion must have been a shock''

''Yes it was a huge one it took me by surprise that's all I just thought it would be another complicated potion like the others had been''

Becky just nodded and continued to eat while she talked to Hermione about happier topics knowing her friend would brood and she did not want that, ''So are you looking forward to seeing the kids''

Hermione appreciated her friends change in topic and grinned ''i cannot wait, i have missed them like mad I just want to be able to hold them knowing they are no longer in danger and I can finally become the mother I wanted too, i have missed out on more than I would have liked and I wish I had more time with my daughter, if I hadn't' fought in the war and been at home with them I would have had time with her however now all i can do is try to fit in as much I can''

''Hermione you know that wasn't your fault you have done all you can to keep the kids safe, to provide for them and care for them, her illness is just bad luck you have been a good mother I can see that even if you hadn't been with them as much you wanted to, at least you saw them every holiday until it become unsafe''

Hermione nodded sadly ''Still, i can't help but feel that this is pay back for me being so focussed on education and providing for us and saving the world that i neglected my kids and now her illness is going to take her away when i have the chance to spend with her and be the mother i wanted to be, its like there saying i failed as a mother and never spent time with her before and that i shouldn't get the chance to be with her all the time now its like its punishing me showing me what it was like to not be around'' Hermione didn't want to get upset but it was something that she couldn't help.

Becky sighed ''That's not true and you know it, stop feeling guilty and just do all the things you wanted too now''

Hermione frowned ''I can't how it's not like i can watch her get married and let her have the wedding she wants is it''

''You could''

''What and how do you think it would work'' Hermione said shocked

''Well you could do a wedding for her, have Harry walk her down the aisle and have a mother daughter wedding like role play give her a chance to have some type of wedding even if it is with her mother'' she smiled ''Have a parent, daughter wedding''

Hermione frowned she had heard of people doing that before Muggles did it sometimes for their kids ''Hmm not sure about that'' although she had to admit it would be lovely her giving vows of being the best mother and that she would always love her little girl

Becky smiled ''Feeling better now you got the problem of your chest''

Hermione smiled ''Yeah i guess thanks beck''

''No thanks needed hunny, your my girl i would do anything for you''

Hermione chuckled and continued to chat with Becky about different things whilst enjoying her meal.
