ReviewedCarpe Diem
Later that evening Severus Snape was pacing the office of the headmaster.
“So now you know all the reasons why I will have to join Voldemort again!” he declared.
“God, Albus, if she goes back, I won’t be able to see her again for more than 15 years! What am I going to do?”
The headmaster stirred his cup of cocoa, his spoon making little clinking noises against the china.
“You will see her sooner.”
“She will be a child, and I will have to be mean to her! I am old enough to be her father, and I really don’t know what she sees in me…”
The headmaster looked at him with a stern face. “Yes, considering she’s Harry's classmate, she will probably be in diapers right now.”
Severus made a face. “Thanks, Albus. You’re helping so much.”
“Nevertheless, son, she loves you. And if you are still willing to help the Order, then I am willing to help you through this dour time.”
He took a sip of cocoa. “But first of all we have to get her back to her time.”
Severus’s hands grabbed the armrest, his knuckles white under his skin. “Have we?”
“I see no other choice. Her life would be in mortal danger if Lucius Malfoy were to know that you are in love with a Muggle-born.”
Severus rubbed his eyes with one hand. “I know, I just hoped…” He trailed off.
“The special Time-Turner I ordered will be ready at the end of the week. It is important for her to leave at the earliest opportunity. The more advanced she is in her pregnancy, the greater the risks will be for the baby. Take some time off. I will fill in for you until Friday. On Saturday we will send her home.”
Severus rose with the air of the condemned man, walking towards the gallows. “Carpe diem,” he choked and went through the door.
“Carpe diem, indeed.” The old man nodded and sipped at his cocoa.

A really interesting way to use the time-turner.
fantastic tale so cleverly told in so few words. loved it
I feel bad for missing all of those updates. I started reading books so I wasn't coming online like I used to but I am glad to have finished this, I liked it very much, very short and sweet. I like the idea of the Serpent on his headboard of his bed.
i can't imagin what that might have been like for him, joyful and painful at the same time. wonderful update. thanks and christmas and holiday smoochies
This has been a wonderful story to follow, especially because Severus now have someone to live for:-))
Awe. This was a really cute story. thank you.
lol good to be home and everythings all right after all.
Oh that's really risky! Legilmens can see dreams, too!
Oh, the angst he'll live under.
Oh my gods! He got her pregnant. I hope she isn't saying too much.
Oh, as if his vow to Dumbledore, his guilt over Lily weren't enough, sadle him with this! Oh, his life isn't fair.
Oh little vixen! Led him right where she wanted him!
lol Oh this is good! Her knowledge of him made him at least relax. One step forward.
Oh I love it when this are so baffling! The locket is a neat bit, I can see that being very handy.
Nice way to end it. Confirming that he's held on so long to find it's true and then knowing he's only got the next 6 years to go through 'til he starts / continues his relationship with her... I know it can be taken the wrong way, but it's better you ended it this way instead of starting from this point. ;) Well done!
That was a nice way to end this.
This part of time turner stories always a strange feeling in me. I can't help but think Snape an old pervert lusting after an 11 year old girl. I don't mind the age difference but NOT until she's 16 or 17. I know writers don't think like that (fortunately) but there's still that strange feeling. So I'm curious as how you'll proceed.
Oh, my. At least he can be hopeful.
Finally Severus knows what he has fought for and waited so long for is right there before him. How wonderful it must have been for him to see her looking into his eyes after her sorting. Only six more years and all his wished will come true.
Thank you for such a great story on the value of patience.

Nice. I wonder if Severus will deviate from his past course?
OH MY GOSH....I am so loving this story....Poor Severus...Bless him!!
This is a nice insight into Husband!Snape and his love for Hermione. And he knows there will be another baby to keep Sebastian company.
Thank you for this look at Hermione' and Severus' family life in the present. Seeing how happy they are and hearing Severus say that “Yes, everything will be alright,” made me smile. But I know that Past!Snape is having a hard time without his Hermione.
I can't wait to see you next update! Well done, Shella.
Beth
Sweet, but short. I know it's a drabble, but it is a good one leaving me with wanting more at the end of each chapter.
yay! thanks
This is so cute. How lucky she is to receive such love from this man.
