Epilogue:

A few months later, Hermione graduated from Hogwarts, and she and Severus were finaly able to be a bit more open about their relationship. They took it slow at first, giving everyone time to adjust to the 'new' development.

Severus was still reserved, and feared public outcry against him for an 'imoral bastard who had taken advantage of her.' But he got through it. So far he had been acused of slipping her a vast number of love potions, and confundus potions, rape, taking advantage of her, molesting her, forcing her into it, holding her against her will, and, from the nice ones, having no morals and breaking the bonds of the student-teacher code of conduct. He had denied all of it. So had she.

H was still amazed that she had stayed with him, even after all of that, and had expected her not only to leave him, but to say that he had poisoned her, or something. She hadn't, and for that, he was grateful.

Potter and Weasley hadn't taken the news well. They had screamed and yelled and carried on at him for quite a while before Hermione had finaly threatened to hex tham all if they didn't grow up, claiming that; 'she was quite cabable of making her own decisions, thank you!'

Lupin had laughed. Bloody Werewolf. Apparently he had 'accidentaly-on-purpose' let slip to Fred and George about it, who, in turn, proceeded not only to tell everyone they saw, but took to the liberty of wolf-whistling at him every time he came across them.

A feww months later, they aranged to be married at a small chapel near the Burrow, to which everyone was invited. Mostly becuase they would have shown up anyway. The reception was held at the Burrow, and Severus found he was actually becoming encreasingly enamoured with the Weasley clan, despite how iritating they could sometimes be. Potter had even stopped atempting to hate him. Although Severus suspected that Hermione had had something to do with it.

Severus sighed as he sat down at the table around which the entire Weasley clan Harry, Lupin and a few others had gathered, and grasped Hermiones hand in his, stealing a quick, chaste kiss from her before they ate. Unfortunately the twins noticed.

Severus ignored them, and smiled contentedly, surprised at the way his life had turned out. And all because of those goddamned images! Severus decided that falling in love wasn't really all that bad after all...

Fins! lol.
