Hermione groaned in her sleep before slowly opening her eyes. The Hospital wing eventually came in to focus. She suddenly became aware of a throbbing pain radiating from her forhead. She touched her head and the pain doubled before faded to what it was before. She looked around and smiled when she saw a number of 'Get Well Soon' cards on the nightstand.

Hermione froze however when she saw 'Mommy' written across the bottom of the biggest. She reached over to it and looked it over. She didn't remember being a mommy, she glanced at her left hand and found a pair of wedding rings. She didn't remember being married either. For that matter, she didn't remember coming to the hospital wing. The last clear memory she had was of trying to find Ron and Harry after taking her O.W.L.'s, sixth year.

Hermione threw the covers off of her and got to her feet. She got to her feet and paused as her vision swam before she began to walk to the nearest girls bathroom.
"Hermione? Hermione! What are you doing? Get back into bed, you still have a serious injury!" Madame Pomfrey called as she caught up with her.
"What happened? The last thing I remember is taking my Owls, but then I saw this....and this," Hermione said gesturing to the card in her hand and the wedding rings.
"Oh dear, seems that bump to the head was more serious than I thought," Madame Pomfrey said.
"Are you sure that's your last memory," She asked. Hermione thought for a minute before nodding.
"Well.....it seems you've lost 12-13 years worth of memories.." Madame Pomfrey said.
"Twelve years?" Hermiolne asked, shocked.
"What happened?" Hermione asked as Madame Pomfrey got her sat back down on her bed.
"I'm not really sure, but the Order went after You-know-who and there was an accident, they brought you in rather banged up. I almost had to sedate your husband, he was in near hysterics," Madame Pomfrey said. Hermione gave her a strange look.
"My Husband? Who is he? Where is he?" Hermione asked.
"He's not someone you thought you would have ever married......and he's teaching right now," Madame Pomfrey answered her.
"12 years..." Hermione said to herself.
"Wait...Voldemort is still around after 12 years?" Hermione asked.
"I'm going to go find Albus and have him explain things better," Madame Pomfrey said and turned towards the main door.

Hermione sat in silence wondering whom she had married. 'Someone I would have never thought I would marry and he's a teacher.........?' Hermione pondered this. The possibilities were endless really because any of their classmates could have become teachers. It wasn't Malfoy, the ring wasn't gaudy enough. She stared at the ring which was a three stone diamond set into white gold. It must have been fire cut because it shone with dozens of brilliant colors when the sun hit it. She looked around the ward, nothing seemed to have changed there. She wanted to walk the castle and find out what all was different. She couldn't imagine how different Ron and Harry were going to be.

After what seemed like an eternity the doors to the hospital ward opened. Albus stepped in, he didn't seem much different. He walked over to her bed and smiled at her.
"How are you feeling my dear?" He asked calmly.
"Not so good at the moment, sir. I have a splitting head ache and a bad case of curiosity," Hermione replied. Albus sat next to her.
" As for the headache...well, falling marble can do that to a person and Amnesia from said marble can cause curiosity, so it seems you are perfectly normal giving your situation," Albus smiled at her.
"Well, I am sure the Curiosity is getting violent at this point so let me explain what has happened. After the three of you left school after your sixth year, I sent you on a quest to get the remaining horcruxes of Voldemorts. Well you did as you were asked and it came down to the final battle With the help of his friends, Harry defeated Voldemort. A few years passed and we came to the realization the not all the horcruxes had been destroyed. Two remained, one in Voldemorts pet snake, Nagini, and another inside Harry himself.

"The piece inside Harry  brutally forced its way out of him and joined the other inside the snake. Then Voldemort returned, half snake, half man. He's become a Naga. The Order recently went on a mission to fight Voldemort and his deatheaters again. The battle got so vicious that the Malfoy's home began to collapse around us. You were one of the ones so preoccupied by your duel that you couldn't get out in time.  If not for Harry, Ron, and Remus holding him back, Severus would have gotten killed trying to go in after you. We thought you were dead, but Severus dug you out of the debris and brought you to Madame Pomfrey," Albus explained.

Hermione listened to the story, she had hoped it would make her remember something.
"Why was Professor Snape so worried about me?" Hermione asked.
"Well, he's your husband, so naturally he's worried about you," Albus said. Hermione felt her heart leap.
"Snape? I married Snape?....You can't be serious, this is some sort of joke!" Hermione replied, shock seemed to turning to panic rather rapidly.
"Hermione, when have I ever lied to you? You and Severus got married after Voldemort was gone the second time. You took care of him when the two of you got caught by Voldemort," Albus said.
"No! I did not marry him! He's a teacher!" Hermione yelled.
"My de-" ALbus tried.
"No! I would never marry that greasy git! He's got to be 50 years older than me!" Hermione yelled again.
"THAT IS ENOUGH! You don't have to accept it but it's the truth," Albus said to her as he got to his feet. Hermione looked at him and hung her head. She felt bad yet she was still shocked.
"And just for the record he's only twenty years older than you," Albus said.
"I'll let Harry and Ron know you're awake and I will try to explain things to Severus, I'll have him keep the children out of here," Albus said and began to walk away.
"Children?" Hermione asked.
"A ten year old girl, she starts school next week, turns eleven on Halloween, and a two year old boy, Christiana and Sebastian," Albus answered before leaving.

Hermione laid down and her mind raced. She became so tired and she quickly drifted into slumber.

Severus picked the box of healing potions off his desk and headed upstairs. He ran into Albus on his way out.
"Severus, I need to talk to you," Albus said.
"I'll be right back, let me run these up to Poppy. The kids will be back soon, could you watch them for me?" Severus asked as he headed up the steps.
"But Severus-" Albus tried again, but Severus had already dashed around the corner. Albus went to follow him.
"Hello, Headmaster!" Christiana said from behind him. Albus turned to see her holding her little brother.
"Hello, Miss Snape, Your father will be back soon, lets wait for him in his office," Albus said.

Severus continued to the hospital ward with the crate. He got there and kicked the door to get Madame Pomfreys attention. The door opened by itself and Severus walked in. He walked to the end of the ward and paused at the end of Hermione's bed. He sighed and continued to Madame Pomfreys desk. He set the crate down and walked back to Hermione's bed. He sat down next to her and gently moved the hair from her face.

Hermione internally jumped when she felt something touch her face and opened her eyes. Severus gasped and smiled at her.
"You're awake!" Severus smiled. He leaned down and kissed her. Hermione screamed and smacked him before pushing him away.
"What in the name of Merlin did you do that for?" He asked, sitting back and giving her an odd look.
"You kissed me!" Hermione replied, scooting away from him.
"Of course I did!" Severus replied.
"Are you feeling alright?" Severus asked her. Hermione glared at him.
"Of course I am, but don't you think its more than inappropriate for a teacher to be kissing a student!? Especially you kissing me!?" Hermione yelled at him.
"Teacher and student? What the hell are you talking about?" Severus asked.
"You are my teacher! Potions teacher, you know brewing glory!?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I am still the Potions professor but you haven't been my student....well a real student in.....12-ish years," Severus replied. Hermione shook her head at him and he tried to hold her and she pushed him away.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Hermione yelled. Severus sat back and raised an eyebrow at her. Hermione looked at him and noticed he was showing much more emotion than she remember.
"I don't care what Professor Dumbledore says, I couldn't have married you," Hermione replied. Then it all made since to Severus.
"Amnesia," He whispered.
"You don't remember anything do you? The oubliette, you took care me,I would have died if not for you. By time they found us we had missed the battle, Harry had won...or so we thought," Severus said.
"Harry? You always called him Potter!" Hermione replied.
"He's the godfather of our daughter!" Severus replied. Hermione just shook her head.
"Just leave me alone please!" Hermione said. Severus looked away from her, he seemed heartbroken. She chose to ignore it. He got up and turned towards the door. He turned back around and took a step back at her before shaking his head and finally leaving the room. The door slammed behind him.

Severus left the castle and went down to the lake. He continued to walk around the lake until he found a secluded spot and he just sat cross-legged on the beach next to the water. He had a clear view of the castle. He glared at the castle as he sat there with him arms crossed over his chest.

A minute passed and he let out a great sigh and his body relaxed.
"I knew it was too good to be true," He groaned.
"What was too good?" A voice asked. Severus didn't have to look back to know it was Harry.Harry and Severus had actually became pretty good friends thanks to Hermione. They would yell and scream at each other and fight but it wasn't as hateful any more, its was more for fun.
"She's awake if you want to go see her," Severus said.
"That's great news! Now why do you look miserable?," Harry replied and sat on the boulder that was a few feet away.
"She has Amnesia and.......she doesn't remember me," Severus answered him.
"Oh wow....." Harry said. It was all he could say, he didn't know what to do. He thought in normal situations he would comfort the person but this was Snape. No matter how friendly he had become you do not hug Severus Snape.
"I'm sorry," Harry said.
"It's not just that she doesn't remember me, she doesn't remember our little girl. Sebastian couldn't give a shit he's two, but Christiana. She's going to want her mother and can't have her, especially since shes getting so close to puberty, thats a time when a girl needs her mother the most. All because her mother got a fucking crack to the head and doesn't want anything to do with her. " Severus growled throwing a rock out onto the lake, disrupting the surface. Harry just listened.
"Well, just let Hermione know about her kids, she wouldn't abandon them. It's Hermione for Merlins sake!" Harry replied.
"She thinks she's 16. If you had been told you had two kids when you were 16 what would you have done?" Severus asked.
"It would have been ackward and I see your point. I wouldn't be as parental to them as i probably should have," Harry answered. They sat in silence for a few moments.
"Can't you use your occlumency skills to reconstruct her memories like you did with me?" Harry asked.
"She'll never let me get close enough to help, She doesn't want to remember," Severus said, not having taken his eyes off the lake  once.  
"Give her the journals, you said she wrote everything down in those," Harry replied. Severus looked back at him and gave him a weak smile.
"I'll leave them for her," Severus said.
"Come on, it's getting close to dinner time and the kids are probably missing you," Harry replied. Severus nodded and the two of them walked back to the castle.

The two men came into the entrance hall and found Christiana and Sebastian waiting for them.
"Hi Daddy!" Christiana called with a big beaming smile. She then looked to Sebastian.
"Say, Hi Dada," Christiana said. Sebastian just smiled.
"Saba dima!" He squealed. Severus and Harry couldn't help but laugh. Sebastian hadn't quite mastered the english language yet.
"Good evening to you too Sebastian," Severus greeted.
"Hi Uncle Harry!" Christiana greeted Harry with a smile. Harry stepped up to her and ruffled her hair.
"Hey!"
"Hi squirt," Harry said to her.
"A dadoooo!" Sebastian laughed.
"Hi," Harry replied. Sebastian reached out fro Severus and Severus picked up his son.
"I'm going to go check on Hermione, You guys have a good dinner," Harry said and headed up the stairs.
"See you," Christiana said and looked up to Severus.
"Dad, Can we eat with Mom?" She asked.
"I'm sorry love, Not yet. I was thinking we could go have a picnic," Severus said. Christiana  smiled and ran down into the dungeons to their quarters to get the picnic supplies.   

Harry walked into the hospital wing and saw Hermione in a bed with her knees to her chest. She looked up and beemed at him.
"Harry!" She squealed and got to her feet. Harry came over to her and they hugged.
"Good to see you're feeling better," Harry said . Hermione smiled at him.
"never thought complete Amnesia would ever actually happen to me," Hermione said to her.
"Isn't that what everyone says?" Harry laughed. Hermione looked at him.
"It's not true is it?" Hermione asked desperately. Harry nodded.
"How....how could I ever fall for that man?" Hermione asked and sat back down.
"You left journals, you could answer you're own questions," Harry said. Hermione shrugged.
"I'm not sure I want to know," Hermione said.
"Hermione you have a family.....are you saying you want to abandon them?" Harry asked.
"Are they my family when I don't know them?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I never knew my parents but still concider them family," Harry said. Hermione shook her head.
"Thats not what I meant," Hermione tried.
"Hermione, they are your flesh and blood. You gave birth to Christiana and Sebastian. You almost lost Chris, Severus held your hand the entire time. Sebastian was an easy birth," Harry said. Hermione shook her head.
"You are Married to Severus!" Harry said and held up her hand.
"It's just a lot to take in Harry I'm sorry, but I can't stand him," Hermione said. Harry got to his feet.
"You can't think of him Hermione, he can handle you not loving him anymore, What about your children? Amnesia or not doesn't change the fact that they are real and really want their Mum," Harry asked before turning away and leaving the hospital wing.

Harry headed back outside. He was stopped by Ron coming into the castle.
"Any change?" Ron asked as they met at the top of the steps. Harry nodded and looked out over the grounds and saw Severus and the kids in the open field. Chris was trying to get Sebastian to walk. Ron looked over with a glare. He always hated the fact that Hermione married Severus, he felt Hermione had been stolen from him, brainwahsed, something and that those children should be his.
"She's awake," Harry said. Ron smiled at him.
"That's great news!" Ron said and ran through the door.
"Not really she's...." Harry trailed off as he saw Ron was already gone. 'That can't be good' Harry thought to himself and went out to find Severus and the kids.
