Characters: Severus and Hermione
Severus sat wearily on the stairs leading to their room. The dark-haired wizard had to collect himself before he went to her. Severus was all that she had and he could not afford to fall apart. It was hard not to weep at the sight of the hollow shell she had become. The knowledge of killing her best friend which in turn killed her parents and her friends at the Order was too much for her mind to take. She broke retreated into her mind to a world in the month of October before things went horribly wrong.
The home that Hermione made for him was large comfortable and more loving than he ever had before. The foyer was small yet inviting that led to the staircase on the left where he was sitting that lead to the upstairs. To the right was an open space that leads to the dinning room were she would “entertain”, led to a living room, and a room that she called a den. Parallel to the staircase was a door that led to the kitchen. Snape knew he could not stay here forever so he got up and returned to his wife.
He passed the library, the study and the two guest rooms before he entered the master bedroom. Severus removed the wedding ring that he had wore and put it in his pocket. He was forced into an arranged marriage to Anna Zabini to continue the “purity of the wizard race”. He conceded out of respect for Anna and to protect Hermione from the obvious attentions of Malfoy. If he refused Anna would have been executed as a traitor and he would not have been able to keep Hermione leaving her open to those that would have abused her. Hermione was his only true wife and he treated her as such.
He proved his devotion by bonding with her in an ancient ceremony that was once recognized as marriage. The best of the lost arts in his opinion since it was impossible to marry her legally. He saw that the lights were still on. When he looked over at the bed and saw the love of his life had fallen asleep waiting for him. She was in a slip, her hairs loose spilling all over the pillow and a book was open on her chest. He leaned down and gently removed the book exposing her tattoos scar and left pierced nipple.
Tears pricked his eyes at the reminders of Hermione’s true situation. The nipple ring was a symbol of slavery to the Death Eaters. The wizard was able to improve her situation by claiming her but she really did not have any rights in this world whatsoever. He was forced to tattoo his family crest on her left breast to cement his claim on her. Her left arm was marred by the dark mark she was forced to take as a type of security measure. Her right arm bore a scar of a crescent moon from the spell that went wrong.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and prepared himself for bed careful not to wake her. She must have sensed his movements for she was awake when he returned. She nuzzled closer to him and put her left hand that had a paper cigar ring on his chest. “Hello love. Another long day?” “ Always are love.” He replied trying to keep his voice even. The wizard knew she believed the cigar ring was the ring he gave her on their imagined wedding day. He wished he could but that was not meant to be. “Go back to sleep darling”
