Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. The credit goes to the wonderful and talented J.K. Rowling. I'm just bowing the characters for awhile to write a fan fiction that I hope you will all enjoy.

AN: This story is based around a teacher/student relationship if this bothers you please turn back now.

Reminder: Hermione is a year older than her classmates. Her birthday is September 19, 1979. Witches and wizards have longer life spans than muggles.

The Spy's Wife

Severus Snape and Hermione Granger had a secret love affair since she was fifteen. (She was in her fourth year). Severus knew if they were caught it meant Hermione would be expelled and he would be fired and sent to Azkaban. So, they kept it well hidden from the students and staff.

Hermione was sixteen when they had their first pregnancy scare. They were discovered at Grimmauld Place by Remus Lupin, Hermione's friend and ex-professor. Remus gave them his word that he would not tell anyone their secret.

Hermione did find out she was pregnant three months after their first scare of pregnancy. But sadly she miscarried seven weeks into the pregnancy during his class. Than that was when Professor Dumbledore found out about the affair. Hermione feared of being expelled and Severus being thrown into Azkaban hung over her shoulders, but Dumbledore allowed them to stay at Hogwarts. The couple had to keep their relationship discreet. They quickly agreed to the terms.

Severus and Hermione were secretly married three weeks after Hermione turned seventeen. (She was in her 6th year). Albus happily preformed the wedding. Remus being the only person that knew about their affair witnessed the union.

Severus laid in his bed watching his wife of three months sleep. Hermione sighed and moved her left hand onto Severus muscular scared chest. A solitaire square medium size 75 karat diamond ring that rested next to a white gold wedding band shined around the bedroom.

"Severus." whispered Albus not to wake Hermione.

Hermione rolled over canceling her full rounded breasts from view. Albus motioned to the sitting room. Severus sneered at the headmaster, and Albus left the bedroom doorway. Severus got out of bed and pulled his pajamas pants over his naked thighs.

"Where are you going?" mumbled Hermione sleepily.

"Sleep love. It's only the Headmaster." whispered Severus, knowing what she was going to ask.

"Ok." she mumbled.

Severus crested her cheek and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. He walked out of the bedroom into the sitting room closing the door slightly.

"What is it Albus?" hissed Severus not liking having his privacy disturbed; especially with his wife.

"I leave with Harry to the cave in a month. I hold you to your vow, Severus." said Albus calmly.

Severus looked taken back. "I'm spying for you. Isn't that enough?"

"I know Draco doesn't have the heart to become a murder."

"Has it occurred to you that I don't want to do this anymore." hissed the spy.

"Of course I have."

"No you haven't." hissed Severus dangerously. "My wife worries every time I'm gone. You ask to much of me Albus. I'm tried of it."

"You will fulfill the deed. It will place you in Voldemort's good graces." said Albus calmly knowing that Severus had to be close to the dark wizard.

Severus balled up his fist angrily at his sides his white gold wedding band hit the firelight. "Fine. Now get out."

"Give Mrs. Snape my love." said Albus gently.

"Please just go. We're even." said the Potions Master fatly.

Albus nodded his head and left through the fireplace. He was gone with a swish of green flames back to his office. He had done what he set out to do.

Severus turned and saw Hermione in the bedroom doorway with tears in her bright brown eyes.

"How much did you hear?" he asked his wife gently.

"Everything. I'm sorry Severus. I didn't mean to ease drop." whispered Hermione in a cracked emotional voice.

He closed his eyes. He didn't want her to know. It scared him that she would leave him for what he had to do, or she wouldn't never look at him the same way again.

"Severus," said Hermione walking up to her husband, "I love you and nothing will ever change that."

He pulled her into his arms and buried his face into her slightly frizzy hair. "I don't know how long I'll be gone for, honey."

Hermione pulled back and ran her fingers through his black baby fine hair. She told, "I'm a spy's wife. Our lives aren't written in stone. The dangers are what we face every day. I'll be here waiting for you to return. As for now let's return to bed."

Severus smirked and lifted Hermione into her arms. She squealed in surprise. He'd worry about the rest later. He wanted his wife screaming his name in passion.

The month pasted and Hermione sat in the Gryffindor common room knowing what was about to happen. Death eaters would enter Hogwarts and she couldn't tell a soul. She closed her eyes when she heard the dark wizards enter into the castle. Her husband would kill Albus Dumbledore and become a traitor. She could do nothing but follow her fellow students and her professors outside the grounds.

'I hold you to your vow, Severus.' Hermione heard Dumbledore's voice rang in her head as she looked down at the body of the headmaster. She raised her lit wand with the other students and professors. They didn't know what had truly occurred. Dumbledore asked for death. It was her blessing and her curse to know the truth behind the whole plot.

Hermione sat at the dinning room table of Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Harry had told the Order of the Phoenix about Dumbledore's murder and that Severus Snape had done the deed. Hermione stared at the wall in a daze. Dumbledore was dead and her husband was now deeply under cover in Voldemort's ranks.

Remus walked over to Hermione and knelt down in front of his close friend. He slowly turned her head and saw her distant. He gently stroked her cheek with his hand.

"Hermione sweetheart?" said Remus. "Do something. Cry, yell, slap me. I don't care. Please don't shut down."

She handed Remus a small piece of parchment. He took it from her and sat down next to his friend. He quickly opened the note. He could tell it was Severus's handwriting.

Things aren't as they seem. Protect her.

The note melted into ashes. Remus pulled her into his arms and gently rubbed her back. He now knew that Hermione knew the truth behind Dumbledore's murder and couldn't tell a soul.

"I told you Snape couldn't be trusted. Once a death eater. Always a death eater." roared Mad Eye Moody.

"Snape just Kadaed him right there and without a second thought." said Harry for the tenth time.

Hermione only moved her hands to her flat stomach and gently rubbed it.

"Oh Mi, does he know?" asked Remus when he saw her moments.

Hermione blinked back the tears and shook her head. She broke down into tears. Remus pulled her into his arms and gently rubbed her back. He knew she was the one that was having the hardest time. He held out a handkerchief. Hermione quietly took it from her friend and gave him a small thank you in return.

"I'm two months. The baby due at the end of June." she whispered. "He may never know his going be a father."

"Don't talk like that." whispered Remus. "Come on you're exhausted," and he helped Hermione up the stairs to one of the bedrooms.

Severus stood in front of Voldemort keeping all his memories of Hermione away from the Dark Lord.

"Very nicely done and Potter witnessed you murder his beloved Dumbledore." hissed Voldemort.

"Yes my lord." said Severus.

"You have proven yourself. Dumbledore had found my fake horcux?"

"Yes my lord." said the Potions Master.

"This calls for a celebration." hissed Voldemort. Severus mentally shuttered. "Notts bring out our fun."

The death eater bowed and left the room. He quickly returned with many terrified muggle women. Voldemort told Severus to chose first. He walked down the line of women entering their minds as he pasted. He stopped at a woman with short frizzy black hair, bright brown eyes, and was a little heavy figure.

'Jamie Granger.' thought Severus. The woman was Hermione's older sister. "You muggle." he said and she stepped forward.

"The rest of you choose your fun." ordered Voldemort.

Severus pushed Jamie into the corner were they used to torture muggles. He leaned forward to her ear and whispered, "Are you Jamie Granger?"

"Ye-yes." stuttered Jamie. "What do you want with me?"

Severus grabbed Jamie's throat and whispered, "Listen-"

She struggled against the spy's grip. "P-please let me go."

Severus shoved Jamie hard against the wall and hissed, "Listen to me. I'm going to claim you as my concubine. It's the only way to save you. I have my reasons woman." He ripped opened her shirt when a death eater looked over in his direction and he walked over to his master. "My lord I was wondering if I may have the muggle."

Voldemort sat back in thought. "You have done well for me Severus. So yes you may keep the muggle. You and your muggle are free to go."

"Thank you my lord." said Severus, bowed and then walked back over Jamie. "Let's go Granger," and the couple left the dark lord's hid out for Prince Manor.

The manor was a medium size home that was on the beach. It was designed in a civil war fashion painted in white.

Severus pulled out his wand and it waved in a series of complex movements before the door clicked and he opened it. He walked inside soon followed by Jamie. Severus closed the door and replaced the wards.

The entrance hall had wooden floors and white walls with a large staircase that led up to the second floor where four bedrooms and bathrooms resided. A large library was the first door on the right up the stairs. The pallor was on the left with wooden floors with white walls a couch, love seat two arms in front of a large fireplace. The dinning room was down the right side hall with a long table that held eight chairs with wooden floors and white walls and small chandelier above the table. Than on the far right was a door that lead to a back patio that lead out to the beach. The standard kitchen through a two way swinging door on right.

Severus and Jamie walked into the pallor. "Well, sit down Granger." said Severus.

Jamie sat down and saw pictures on the fireplace mantle. She could tell they were of a wedding. She saw a picture on the side table were she was sitting on the couch. She picked the photo and her eyes widen. It was of Severus and Hermione.

They sat on a bench in Hogwarts gardens. Severus had Hermione in his arms. They were smiling at each other when he placed a black rose in her hair.

"You know my sister?" asked Jamie.

Severus took the picture from her and gently sat it back down on the table. "Yes. I know Hermione very well."

Jamie narrowed her eyes at the man that had his hands around her neck on a little while ago. "How's very well?"

"Hermione's my wife Miss Granger. That is why I saved you from the other death eaters." said Severus gently. "She's my life Miss Granger and love her dearly. I don't care what you think of me." He walked over to the fireplace and lit a fire in the harp with his wand. "Hermione would never forgive me if I let anything happen to you." he whispered looking at a wedding photo. He turned around a faced his sister-in-law. "Now, Prince Manor is highly warded. The beach line goes as far as 50 miles. You are safe here. I will be gone most of the time. You will not adventure down to basement. It's the left door of the patio. It's my lab and very dangerous. Do you understand?" Jamie nodded. "You are welcome to any room in the house; expect the bedroom on the last door on the right. That is mine and my wife's room. The kitchen will magically stock every week unless you run out of anything. The kitchen is mainly muggle. So you should be fine."

"I thought you did everything with magic." said Jamie.

The Potions Master raised a brow at the woman in front of him. "You can't always depend on magic all the time."

"That's something Hermione would say." said Jamie causing Severus to smirk.

Hermione had taken his wand away from him for a week when he had angered her by using magic far too much. He had been doing things half with magic and the other the muggle way.

"Go choose a room and get settled in because you'll be a here awhile. The closets and bathroom with give you all you need. You will call me Professor Snape. You will have to earn the right to call me Severus. I will call what I wish." she could only nodded. "I'll be in my lab," and he swept from the room to the basement.

Jamie sighed heavily and went up the stairs to find a room. She was surprised at the drastic change in the man. She saw a cruel and heartless man at the death eater meeting. Than once away from the death eaters. He was stern but was able to hold a conversation. She could see he was lonely and worried for his wife. It was visible in his black eyes.

Remus watched Hermione sleep. It had taken him nearly two hours to calm her down. "Oh, Mi I'm sorry you have to go through this. You don't deserve it love."

"How is she doing?" whispered Remus's girlfriend, Tonks.

"Well as expected." he said in a hushed tone.

Tonks quietly closed the door behind her and sat down in a chair next to Remus. "I believe she's taken it harder than Harry."

He pulled the covers over his friend and pushed a curl from her face. "I know she is."

Tonks took out her wand and locked and silenced the room. She didn't want them to be over heard. She slipped her wand back into her pocket. "I don't think Severus killed Dumbledore willingly. I heard them talking at the last Order meeting."

Flashback:

Tonks walked to the dinning room door. She had forgotten a book she was reading when she heard two voices. She placed an invisible charm over herself and walked into the room. She normally wasn't an ease dropper but it was Snape and Dumbledore. They were arguing. She knew Dumbledore wasn't the type to argue with anyone.

"Severus you knew this time would come." said Professor Dumbledore.

"If you hadn't put on that horcux none of this would be happening." hissed Severus.

"It's time I hold you to your vow." said Albus.

Tonks saw Professor Dumbledore's blacken hand. She wondered what a horcux was. She had never heard of such a thing and that thing caused his hand to blacken. She shuttered.

"Severus I'm old. I've lived my life. It's the only way. Harry must finish what we've started, and he must do this without me."

The Potions Master shook his head. He crossed his arms. Tonks covered her mouth in shock when she saw a wedding band.

"No. I will not. I have a wife to care for. I will not leave her to worry." hissed Severus.

"Mrs. Snape will understand. She is a loving and understanding person. She'll wait for you."

Severus's body shook with anger. "You listen to me old man, if my wife never looks at me in the same way again or doesn't let me touch her because you want me to-to fulfill an oath I made years ago-"

Albus interrupted the spy and whispered, "You must be undercover. You must be close to Voldemort. It will be painful and you know it. It's the only way to end my pain Severus. I'm begging you. After this whole thing is over with you may live out your life."

"You-" said Severus now beyond angry. It was like Dumbledore was giving permission to live his life. "You ask too much of me!" and he swept from the room.

End of Flashback

Remus sighed heavily at the story. Tonks knew just about as much as he did. He was assigned to protect Hermione on her husband's orders, and was going to do everything in his power to do it. He also knew that the wards on Grimmauld Place would soon drop since the Headmaster was dead. He was the Order's secret keeper.

"It's true. Severus didn't want to kill Dumbledore. He just wanted to live his life and have a family with his loving beautiful wife." said Remus looking gently at Hermione.

"Hermione's Severus's wife." said Tonks quickly putting the puzzle pieces together. Remus only nodded. "You were given the task to protect her." he nodded again. "Can I help you?"

"I don't see why not. As long as you don't tell anyone else."

"You know me love. We must leave from here. I know Moody will turn everyone against us if we leave." said Tonks sadly but also with a hint of anger.

"Severus!" yelled Hermione, shooting up from the mattress. She buried her face in her hands. "He was discovered. Nagini bit him. He died." she sobbed.

Remus sat down on the bed and slowly lowered her hands. "It's only a dream sweetheart." he pulled her into his arms.

"It just seemed so real." she whispered into his chest.

"Tonks is going to help me keep an eye on you. Is that all right?" asked Remus.

Hermione pulled back and pushed back her hair with shaky hands. She smiled weakly at the auror. She had always liked the purple head witch. "Yes. I could use another woman around. Thanks Tonks."

She smiled and gave the young woman a wink. Tonks squeezed her shoulder and told them she was going to go pack her things.

"I need to do one more thing. It's to help Harry since won't be able to go with him." whispered Hermione.

"You just take your time. All right." said Remus and left the room to go get his things packed as well. Hermione walked down the hall to the library.

Hermione looked around and picked up a bag that was full of things that Harry would need on his search for the horcuxes. She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket. She placed it into the bag and cast a spell over it for Harry to only retrieve the bag. She left the room.

Remus and Tonks stood in the doorway of Hermione's bedroom waiting for her to get her things together. Hermione made sure she had everything packed. She nodded and the trio left Grimmauld Place for their safety.
