Chapter 11
Chapter 11 of 50
gersknightladyHermione flees the wizarding world and come face to face with her past.
ReviewedHermione had awoken about an hour later and scooted away from Raven, embarrassed. Neither saw the look of regret on the other's face at their separation. They spent the afternoon eating lunch and walking in the forest. They went down to the stream Hermione had mentioned and sat on the bank dangling their feet in the icy water. They laughed and talked about the nature around them and a few funny things that had happened to them in the city. Hermione couldn't get enough of his face when he smiled or laughed. It wasn't that frozen, evil smile that Snape had directed at her and her friends when they were kids. She was beginning to see Raven as a totally different wizard...not the Snape she had known in school. Finally, as the light started to dim in the forest, they gathered their things. Hermione spent a few minutes teaching Raven the Lumos spell. He was quick to learn as usual, and they returned to Spinner's End just as the moon climbed high in the sky.
This time Raven felt only a little dizziness. "That was better," he stated, drawing in a deep breath as he released her arm.
"Good." She peered into his face. "Maybe you're beginning to trust me a little more."
He smiled at her, took the picnic basket from her hand, and went to the kitchen to unload it.
She watched him put all the things away. "Thank you again, Raven, for being there for me today. I felt like I was going to fly apart. Your tight hold on me kept me sane."
He nodded. "I was happy to help."
"You aren't the man I knew, that's for sure. Snape probably would have laughed at me." She frowned. "No, that's unfair to say in light of what I know of him now. He... you spent years protecting us from our foolish escapades. You never asked for credit or even acknowledgement. Our lives might have been different if we had realized we could have trusted you then."
She saw his face blanch, and he turned away. "Raven, what's wrong?"
Suddenly knowing it was time, he said, "I was not a nice guy. I was a murderer and more. I did things you have no clue about. If I helped you, it was probably for selfish reasons."
"Do you remember something?" she asked, coming and touching his arm to try to pull him around so she could look into his eyes.
He jerked his arm away. "No. You can't even trust me now. I have kept something from you. I didn't want to see the disgust in your eyes." He moved across the room to stand before the cold fireplace.
Hermione waved her wand and a fire flared to life, warming the cold room. She said, suddenly afraid, "Tell me."
He walked toward the stairs and motioned for her to follow him to his room. He pulled the drawer open and a little drawer popped out. He took the small journal from it and held it out to her.
She watched his hand tremble. She took the book and asked, "What is this? Is it what we've been looking for? Why would you keep this from me?" She had a bit of anger in her voice, and she saw that he cringed and drew away.
"No, I don't think it's what you described. But he... I was a despicable person...a murderer and maybe a rapist. I think I even enjoyed torturing people." His voice shook with pain.
She took a deep breath; her anger wouldn't help them. She had known that Snape had chosen to do a lot of dreadful things while in Voldemort's service when he was young...things he might have later regretted and/or didn't want to do to start with. His cover had to be maintained. "What is this?" she repeated.
He sighed. "It's a journal of all the horrible things I've done. There are no real feelings; it's nothing but a list mostly. Why would he keep such a thing?"
Hermione looked at the book and then made a decision. She placed the book in his hands and said, "Let me know if you find something you think I should know."
He stared at her. "Don't you want to read it?" Surprise made his voice a bit high.
"Yes, but I won't. Dumbledore was an amazing judge of character, and he believed in you. If he can forgive what you did in the past, I can too. You saved Harry, and you saved the Wizarding World. The past is done, over with, and another life...especially now that you can't remember it. Everyone deserves a second chance, Raven: you most of all."
She slipped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest. He was so surprised he dropped the book and held her close. This woman had such a capacity for forgiveness, it floored him. After a long time of just hanging on to each other, he drew her to the bed. They spooned together under a thick blanket and fell into an exhausted sleep.
********
When Hermione woke the next morning, she was surprised to find herself tucked into Raven's bed. She could hear the shower going down the hall. She slipped from the bed and headed toward her room. Part of her wished she had woken up beside him, and part of her was mortified that he would smell her morning breath and see her messy hair. But she smiled when she thought about having slept so safe and warm in his arms.
When she heard him leave the bathroom, and his bedroom door close, she slipped out into the hall and dashed into the bathroom. She showered, put on fresh clothing, and fixed her hair. She found him cooking breakfast. She went to him, reached up, and placed a quick kiss on his lips. She saw the pleased look on his face when he drew back.
"Thank you, Raven. I don't think I've slept that well in months, maybe years."
"Me either," he admitted. "I'm sorry I left you alone this morning. I felt dirty from yesterday's romp in the forest."
She laughed. "I felt the same way; think nothing of it." She sat down, and he served her breakfast.
They made plans to search the bathrooms, and Hermione broached the subject of his parents' room. "It's possible he put it in there. It really doesn't look like the place has been stepped into in thirty years. It would be a good hiding place. I don't think you liked your parents much."
He ate in silence, so she followed his example and left him to his thoughts.
When breakfast was over, she cleaned up the dishes. When she went in search of Raven, she found him standing in the open doorway of his parents' room.
She touched his arm, and he looked down at her. "It's kinda creepy in there."
"Yeah, like a tomb," she agreed. "I wish I could do this for you."
"Me too." He sighed and stepped into the room. They started with the dresser and found nothing but old clothing. They moved on to the closet, and Raven found a shoebox in the back. It was an ordinary Muggle shoebox filled with small, handmade, wooden soldiers.
"Do you think they were mine when I was a kid?" he asked.
"Perhaps," she said, taking one of the finely carved figures into her hand.
"Whoever put this here must have cared to save them." His voice was heavy with emotion.
"Maybe your parents cared, but they just were introverted and unwilling to share their feelings."
He took the soldier from her and placed it back in the box, shoving it back in the closet. "There were one or two notes in the book. My dad died after I started to write the book. It says, 'The old bastard died today. Good riddance, Dad.' I doubt he was the one."
She touched his arm. "Did it say anything about your mom?"
"Only once. 'Mom's gone; I cried for the first time in my adult life.' Nothing else. Just those two references to sum up my life with my parents." He shut the door to the closet and turned toward a vanity with a rounded mirror.
"You must have loved your mom or you wouldn't have cried. She probably saved your toys. They must have been your favorites."
He only grunted and reached for the first drawer. It held jewelry of different sorts. He held up a necklace of large, shinny crystal beads. He reached out to touch one of the sparkling beads. Suddenly a light shot out from the bead and began to expand and shimmer like a Pensieve.
Hermione grabbed onto his arm and found herself drawn into a memory.
"What is this?" Raven shouted with fear.
"It's a memory, a message. Just go with it. Don't be afraid. We are invisible, and no one will hear us."
******
They found themselves standing in the living room. A tall woman, thin with long black hair, stood near the fireplace. She was placing the soldiers in a box when a gruff-looking man came into the room. "What the hell, you doin', woman? That boy don't care about nothing; throw them in the fire."
"He only said he didn't want them because you made him so miserable for still having them. He's still a young man."
"Man being the word," replied the harsh man, growling. "He don't need no toys, and I will not have a son of mine keeping sentimental things. There's no time in this here life to be sentimental. He needs to be hard as nails." He took the box, flung it at the fireplace, and stalked from the room.
With a quickness that defied the eye, his mother waved her hand and pulled the soldiers from the fire before they could even be singed. Glancing at the door, she quickly put them into the box and went to hide it. "I want my son to know he did know how to play," she whispered.
******
Suddenly, they were back in the bedroom, and Raven still held the beads in his hand. "Wow," Raven said, astonished. "That was like being in a movie!"
Hermione said, "I wonder if the other beads have messages on them. I don't think this is what we are looking for, but your mother obviously wanted you to have some of her memories regarding yourself and your childhood. Maybe she knew the direction you were heading in and wanted you to know she loved you."
Confusion and hope flashed across his face. "I thought I was like I was because they both hated me."
"How did you activate that memory?" Hermione asked, curiously looking at the necklace. She did not attempt to touch it.
"I just touched the bead with my finger," he said.
"Maybe you should try another one."
Raven looked at the beads. "You'll go with me?"
"If you want me to. They are personal memories, and you have no idea how revealing they might be," she warned him.
"I don't want to go alone," he stated emphatically.

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. 
Response from gersknightlady (Author of Raven)
Well I'm not sure what scene yur talking about but it will get worked out. She's alot younger and also insecure and some times her youth can get the better of her. She can 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.

I thik I might have waited in the cave for a while in case he came back if I was her. 
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.
