Chapter 10 of 50
gersknightladyHermione flees the wizarding world and comes face to face with her past.
ReviewedThey searched the living room again even though they hadn't come across anything when they'd searched for the basement door. She let him go to the places she had searched and watched the charms that she had spelled to keep watch for repel spells. By noon, they hadn't come up with anything. They did find a small bag of gold Galleons. Raven's eyes had gone wide when he pulled them from the back of a drawer.
"Wow. Is this real?" he asked, his eyes bugging out.
Hermione laughed. "It's wizarding money. We use gold coins as tender."
"Wow, I'm rich."
"You may be. Snape was always very conservative in dress. I doubt he spent much of his hard-earned money over the years. We'll have to go to Gringotts and find out once you're ready to appear in public."
She watched his face, and he withdrew into himself.
"We'll go when we have decided I can't be helped. And I'll want to relearn my magic first."
"We have as much time as you need. I will probably have to make a reappearance sometime soon just to get into my account and buy the food we will need. With the lab below, I was thinking we could make some potions and sell them to the local apothecary. There might be some recipes downstairs for more complicated potions. You were one of the best. It stands to reason you might have rare ingredients, and I am well-versed in brewing methods. I enjoyed Potions more than any of my other classes."
"It was probably because you had such a nice teacher," he said scathingly, but with a hint of a smile.
"Because you were brilliant. You may not have been very nice, but you were intelligent and you taught me things I did not already know. That was pretty rare for my Hogwarts teachers. Your class and Professor McGonagall's were my favorites. They challenged me."
"Are you some kind of genius?" he asked
"I wouldn't say that. I just like to read, and I always remember everything I read. Potions making wasn't only book knowledge. You told me that in no uncertain terms when I'd quote my books at you. Potions are feelings as well. Two people can use the same ingredients to create a potion, but the person who feels the potion as he is making it learns the subtle way to cut ingredients and stir the mixture. He will get a much better result than those who just throw things together." She sucked in a breath, a thought dawning on her. "I never realized... you felt your potions. Maybe that was the only time you allowed feelings out. Only then no one would have known."
He sighed. "I'm not sure I want to be Snape again. I don't even want to be Raven ... the Raven out in the streets. Since I woke in that alley, this is the first time I can say that the person I am today is the best I can remember. I feel at peace."
"You know, we have really done as much as we can today," she said. "I'm tired, and I know a secluded forest we can take a picnic to. It will do us both good to get some fresh air. Will you go with me?"
"Sure, it might be good to get out of this dark house."
They packed up a basket, and Hermione changed into some jeans and a jumper. She'd even found a pair of trainers under the bed.
Raven found a pair of black jeans and put on a dark blue turtleneck. With his clean, shiny hair free around his shoulders, he was quite impressive.
Hermione felt her heart flip flop, and she admonished herself for being a silly schoolgirl. "Are you ready?" she asked.
"That magic travel again," he said and grimaced.
"Yep, come on take my arm." She held it out, and he wrapped his arm around hers. She closed her eyes and concentrated on Disapparating, trying to ignore his warm fingers on her arm.
"Ugh," was the first thing she heard when she opened her eyes. Raven was doubled over.
"Breath deeply and the nausea will pass," she instructed.
He gasped for breath a few times and then straightened with a pained look on his face. "Is it always like that?"
"No, it shouldn't be for you either. You've done it many times alone. I guess it's just your fear that's making you sick."
They turned to look up at the deep, thick trees that surrounded them. "We're in the mountains near a cabin my parents used to rent in the summers. This is a fairly secluded spot; never-the-less I will ward it so that anyone passing will look away...not that anyone up here should be able to recognize you. It's a Muggle area.
They found a small clearing about 30 feet into the forest, and Hermione spread out the blanket and set the picnic items out for them. She kept busy trying to ignore the sudden feelings of melancholy that struck her. Maybe this hadn't been such a good idea. She hadn't expected the familiar site to bring back so many memories of her parents.
Raven was looking with interest at the huge trees and seemed to be enjoying the fresh air and the warm, light breeze. He heard a sniffle behind him and turned to see Hermione scrubbing her eyes with the back of her sleeve.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" He came closer.
"I'm sorry," she suddenly sobbed. "I spent so much time here with my parents. I should have known better than to come here."
He reached down and pulled her to her feet and drew her into a warm embrace.
She clung to him and cried, nearly screaming with the loss of parents she had never allowed herself to grieve for.
He stood feet planted apart and let her buffet him with her pain. He soothed her with his voice and rubbed her back with large, comforting hands. He continued holding her close even though she beat at his chest with her hands. Grief tore at her. Finally, she sobbed quietly and then became still clinging to him.
He stroked her hair softly, feeling his own tears dry on his cheeks. Her pain had touched him more than he'd thought possible.
"We are a pair, aren't we? We're both damaged by that war," he whispered against her hair.
She nodded, sniffling and trying to just breath and calm down.
"Thank you, Raven," she finally said.
"You have helped ole Raven. I guess I owe you." He shifted uncomfortably, not used to expressing emotion in words.
"Not owe, Raven. We are friends now, aren't we? We support each other. That's what friends do."
"I'm sorry about your parents, Hermione. I should have been there to help."
"What happened to them had nothing to do with you. You were already out of the game."
She drew him down to the blanket, and they sat facing each other holding hands.
"I never let myself grieve before today. It was all stuffed down inside of me. In the city, I keep it closed up in my mind. I'd left it all behind when I ran. At the house, I kept it at bay because we were focusing on you. Here there are so many memories. That tree over there has my initials carved into it, if you look closely enough. There's probably a nail or two here and there that my dad put in to hang our picnic stuff on when we would hike away from camp. We used to fish in the stream about a half mile down. I fell into it when I was 6. See that branch over there? My dad would tie a rope swing to it, and I would fly like the wind touching the leaves, hanging from a top branch, with my toes. Mom and Dad would make a fire at night, and we'd sing silly songs and roast marshmallows over the fire."
As she talked, more tears started to leak from her eyes and slide down her face. Raven sat on the blanket and drew her into his lap and held her as she cried quietly and finally fell asleep from emotional exhaustion. He gently stroked her hair and gazed into her tear-stained face, wishing he could help take away her pain. He could not fathom ever having been associated with the people who would have done those things to her parents and to countless others. What sort of monster had he been? He had read a bit in a book he'd found in his room. He hadn't mentioned it to Hermione. It was a diary of sorts ... mostly just notes on what Snape had done each time for Voldemort and Dumbledore. He'd found it while looking through the drawers. A hidden door had popped open. He'd read a few pages and had been ashamed of who he'd been. He knew sooner or later he would have to tell Hermione about it. But for now, he just wanted to know who he had been. He didn't think it was what they had been looking for. It didn't seem to address anything about spells or potions; it was only a daily accounting of things he'd done. Some of them had been quite terrible, and he felt like burning the diary. He couldn't imagine now being that person, and yet he felt the relief in the man's words when Dumbledore had accepted him back into the side of light. He didn't care about the power he might have. A simple life seemed to be a more peaceful one. Here in this peaceful forest with the birds singing and Hermione asleep in his arms, he couldn't imagine a better place to be.
He wished the old wizard were still alive so they could talk about what had happened. Sometimes the journal was scarce on facts and didn't speak of the emotional motivation behind the things he'd done.
Who was he? Right now, he seemed to be three different people: Snape, Raven of the city, and now this Raven...a man this beautiful, young woman could look at with desire. He had seen the desire and need in her eyes after they'd kissed. With her, he felt like he might actually have some worth. For the first time since he'd woken in that stinking alley, he felt a purpose in his life. Would she be able to get past his history if he revealed the book full of the horrors? He wanted to help her and her friend, Potter. He didn't care about the power he might have. A simple life seemed to be a more peaceful one. Here in this calm, serene forest with the birds singing and Hermione asleep, in his arms he couldn't imagine a better place to be.

I noticed a couple of small things: you used aide when it should be aid, and timber when it should be timbre.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
I appreciate the heads-up but I could not find Timber/timbre. I thought it would be where he sings Harry to live and yet it's not there. I re-read the chapter twice and it didn't jump out a me.so much for your help.Thank
It probably doesn't matter at this time, but I've noticed a lot of errors: spelling and grammar.Also, there were Indians in Romania?I am enjoying your story however.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Well, if there are a lot of errors they have slipped by the TPP ladies. If you want to send them to me I can run them by them and see if they can be fixed. The chapters go through quite a stringent process. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.

Is he so thoughtful because he is magical or because he is Severus Snape? I can't even get my husband to initiate ad take me on a date and I've been married 33 years. Our last date was to go see the last Deathly Hallows and I planned that one. He is a loving stick in the mud.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
I'm not sure. I think once Severus Snape loves and is loved back. I think the whole world would open for him.Well at least hes loving. It could be worse :)

It looks like Grendal is rejuivinated by children. That's a wonderful idea. I hurt so bad tonight I can hardly think. I wish I had a pet like him. My feet feel like they have been held in burning coals and then put in clamps. I can't sleep and I'm dreading work, tomorrow. I have peripheral neuropathy from unknown causes. Some days are worse than others.

A very Happy Chritstmas. Severus is 10 times more thoughtful than most guys. He bought her a wedding dress, how cute.

The cauldron ring was a brilliant idea! It is very original. And, I am so glad Xenophilius is there! I really like him and am so glad Luna gets to have her dad. I'm glad to see Moody still alive too. Too bad for the Weaselys Fred isn't here. How did you decide who to keep alive and who to leave passed away? I have no criticism on the matter, just observing and wondering about the process of deciding who to bring back into the story. Great chapter!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Not sure how I chose who lived and who died. I didn't like Freds death anymore than the others but I had to leave some war casulties and I guess he was one of the first so I left it that way. I really didn't think it out much.Thank you I'm glad you liked it.

Seeing Severus tonight at the ball should help Ginny understand better what Hermione sees in Severus. But she is a girl and it is normal for her not to be attracted to men old enough to be her father. I, on the other hand, have always been attracted to older men. I've been inordinately "boy/man crazy" since I was literally 5 years old. LOL.
My first crush was Davey Jones from the Monkeys. Allowing Harry to see the memory of his mother and Harry's mother is extremely generous. That was very very personal. I wonder how Severus will react seeing it a second time? It changed him and gave him back his memories of Raven. He was extremely emotional afterwards. I wonder if he will be able to be OK when seeing it with Harry. I understand that he and Hermione share way more with one another than anyone else does because of Severus' special needs to see Hermione's mind and Hermione seeing his pensive memories. They are comfortable with it now, but most people would feel more like Ginny does about it. I know Severus probably wants Harry to see how much he was loved as a baby. However, Harry will also be hearing his mom say she let Severus down. He will surely have conflicting feelings about that. It won't be easy for either of them to see. I'm sure Severus wants to let Harry know that he can consider him a godfather. I totally trust Harry, but I've learned in life that you can't trust very many people with too much personal information. They are only human and are bound to veiw that information from a position of thier own self interest. They are bound to let someone down even if they are sorry later. But most of the time they aren't sorry because don't even realize how hurtful they were or don't care. Severus will need to find a happy medium regarding who he trusts his most tender feelings with. Changing the subject, I wonder what Minerva thinks about Hermione and Severus snogging in front of all the students.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
I adored the Monkees when I was a kid. I got to see them last year in Bakersfield on their last tour together. Davey was so full of energy and danced all over the stage. He was a joy to see again.Thats was a huge step for Severus, sharing the memory. True people who haven't shared someoes thoughts might think it an invasion. Ginny doesn't know the love and trust they have developed for eachother.Maybe she would think "its about time" LOL... But then shes a propper o'l biddy. (said very fondly) :) I honestly don'tremember how I wrote it.

Great chapter!!! Everyone is coming along quite well. I love happy stories. I don't know why sad stories get so much credit. Entertainment should take one away from the pain of real life in my opinion.
I think that is why many of us got hooked on Harry Potter initially when it was still fun and magic was amazing, even though we were adults. Then it went down hill and I only kept reading because I cared about the characters and felt the need to see how she resolved so much conflict, pain and betrayal.
I kept hoping for things to improve, but they only got worse.
I hated the last book. I hated the ending too. She killed too many people she didn't need to kill. And especially if she had to kill Severus she did it in such an un-Snapish way. Severus Snape would have been prepared for Nagini. She'd made him too smart to die that way. She also made Hermione too intelligent to be able to stay with Ron forever. She would have grown past him, though she would always love him. They don't make a believable adult couple.
Your story is 100 times better. Thank you for not letting Doby be dead. That was just too much death for me. I'm sorry Ron has to be dead, but I understand it better than killing Severus and leaving him with such an unresolved tragedy of a life. I wonder if, in her mind, he met Dumbledore on the other side the way Harry did. I know publishers make you change a story a lot.
At least the result left a lot of us the drive and strong need to set Severus Snape's story right. We SS fans felt the need to make more sense of his death.
I truly didn't see it coming until the last story. I kept waiting for her to reveal his truth, and I thought she would give him some closure, some compensation for his suffering. Although she showed us why he protected Harry and that he wasn't evil, which were huge questions; she left him dead in a stupid way and with only pain, pain and more pain taken to the grave.
Her story left me completely unsatisfied.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Your emotia cons are so entertaining LOL. I was cringing about the mob but see it's not directed at me wheew.I agree with you the cannon books leave a lot to be desired. Why did Harry have to lose every one and everything that he loved. Even his owl. Its a wonder Ginny and Hagrid surived.I also agree with you one the HG?RW pairing. It has never worked for me. I hated having them together at the end. They were polar opposites and would have never stayed together.I think allof us who wrote HG/SS fic found the books lacking. That's why we write... we need to give him a better ending.

Quite beautiful. I'm glad everyone got to feel Severus' song of love. This will do much to make everyone feel closer to Severus. I hope Harry can love him too. I know I said that in the last review. I know Harry is a good and kind boy with a lot of love, so I'm sure he will be able to. What about the elder wand? Breaking the edler wand was a big deal regarding Harry. I wonder if you include this in your story some how so we know he did break it, since he didn't have a chance to in this version of how he killed Voldemort. It's OK if you didn't, though.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
I'm not sure when I wrote this how aware I was of the elder wand. I don't think it's included in this story at all. The fnal moview came after, sure I'd read the books but since it was such a different take on the end it wasn't included.

I'm glad he found out Lily didn't hate him. It must have been terrible to watch the grief of his mother and Lily at losing him to the Dark Lord. But he must have forgiven them so that he was able to remember Raven's life and his love for Hermione. Hermione will be fine. Now he will be able to love Harry like a godson. I hope Harry can love him back.

The idea of giving Raven's memories back to Severus is brilliant! I'm really glad he mom left him the memory necklace. I wonder how she did it without her wand. Maybe after Severus' dad was gone she got another one. It must be hard for Hermione to have not taken him back to the cave. He was very pitiful. I wonder if he is blocking Raven's memories or if it is a result of the curse. This last memory of his mom after he killed his dad was good for him. Now maybe he can forgive her. The more he forgives the other people who loved him but weren't perfect, the more he will be able to forgive himself.

Thank you, I'm glad you found some things to like in this chapter. Maybe she really did have some wandless magic or she did get another one (good observation that I missed).opps I got ahead of my self. I'm supposed to be in the teen chapters.

I admit I was surprised that Severus didn't finish. However, this is great story telling. It will turn out well, I think. I hope the Weasely's keep quiet. Maybe only Aurthur and Ginny should be there until Severus finishes the spell. It would be less pressure, I think. Maybe Hermione needs to give him permission to love his best friend's son. Acknowledge that he loved Lily and it's OK to keep the good memories. I understand his guilt, but Peter Pettigrew is the friend who really betrayed them to Voldemort. Severus was the one who had them hidden. When he told Voldemort the prophesy he didn't know it would be about Lily's son, did he? I can't remember. I think Lily has forgiven him. If she knew that her life and Jame's were given so that her son could defeat Voldemort, I think she would have been willing to make that sacrafice. She was fighting Voldemort too. If she hadn't died for Harry, Harry would not have been able to defeat the Dark Lord. She also helped defeat Voldemort by her sacrifice. I'm certain Severus has never looked at it that way.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
I think it was a shock to him and it starled him enough to make him lose his concentration spoiling the spell. He will come back. No I don;t think he thought at first it would be Lily's son. I don;t think he would have told Voldy if he had known it. I think Lily has too. Your right she would have given her life for the cause. I never thought of it that way either and so we see they were more alike than we thought.Thanks so much for the thoughts and the review.

I don't understand why they have decided not to make love at Hogwartz until after Harry is free. What am I missing? I'm really happy about his encounter with Neville. That's a healing for Neville too. His fear of Severus has been painful. He is such a good boy. He and Luna do really match. I'm so happy for them both. The Gypsy experience was a great chapter. Thanks.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Well hey I really don;t know why i amde that decision. Being un-Married and it being a school for children is probably the reason. Maybe they just need it to be more formal. Finish up what they set out to do and then see where they stood with eachother. Who knows This was written years ago lol.I'm glad you liked the Gypsies.

Kisses, kisses!!!! I didn't think he could keep away from her until Harry was fixed. It's all good. She needed it and he needed it now they will need eachother. I knows she made love to him even if he doesn't think he made love to her. If he was worried about her loving Ravan instead of him I think some of his worries can be laid to rest. It can only get better now. I feel it.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Yes Kisses, you know a man and his needs. But she had the same needs. It was a chnace to connect and show him she can be with him as well. Thats she want's to be with him and it's now all Raven. Thanks for hanging in there :)

I suppose she can't ask him to forgive her can she? She doesn't know he stood outside the door, but she knows he kissed the daylights out of her. I think that before much time goes by she needs to sincerely apologize without being overly emotional, but say she respect his wishes if he wants to continue as if the kisses never happened. It seems like the adult thing to do. To ignore it would be immature.

There are too many chapters left for this not to get better. Hermione needs to somehow show him that she didn't love Raven just to get Harry back. She needs to give him the memories she and Raven made. She also needs to give him the necklace. Some careful way she needs to let him know that she read his jounals and watched the memories with Raven and that she knew all those things about him but still fell in love with him.
Maybe she should write him a letter and tell him, but promise never to bring it up again unless he does first. She can promise to just be a collegue and a friend no matter what he decides. And let him know she will always love him no matter what he does. Then just be there for him. I also wouldn't say a word about Harry unless he did. After he wakes Harry, he will see that she cares for him even after he does what she wants and that she isn't just using him. I bet he can't last until the end of the potion they have to prepare. Well, at least a little of the real him will break loose I think.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
There is a lot of fear in the man and insecurities. He can't beleive someone can love him and he has to have his time to come to terms with what Raven and Hermione had. Give him some time. He want's someone tolove him for who he is and he just has to see she can be the one.

If I was her I might wait at Spinner's End. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is where he went. But I guess that would be invading his personal space too much. I think I might send the memories there and leave them for him in plain sight. I believe he would look at them. I would also leave the necklace with the memories and the journal. If I ddin't hear from him in a couple of weeks I would check there then back at the cave. Now that she knows where it is, she can find it again.

Yes, she can. But she's afraid right now and waiting it out to see what will happen. I think she would act soon if nothing happens. He would only toss her out on her ear.... he needs time.

I'm sure he'll get over this.
