Home sweet home: Chapter 2
Chapter 2: The second woman
They sat on a comfortable sofa in the office of Mister's magic. The mood had calmed down somewhat and becomes an oppressive silence while they waited in their seats, that the small house elf pouring them tea. "Could someone please explain to me now what is going on here?" Hissed angrily April and rose from her seat. Her eyes pierced Dumbledore, then stuck it to Severus and her eyes narrowed to small slits.
"I spent a year waiting for you," she said angrily, "without knowing whether you're still alive, if you ever come back again and you tell me that you are nothing them know that you do not even remember me. "She clenched her hands into fists and flexed her jaw.
Hermione could not take her eyes from April's face. The woman's eyes were blank and her face drawn with grief and yet She was undeniably beautiful, some years older than themselves, and definitely Severus type. Even if this thought it a stitch drove through the heart, but it corresponded to the truth.
April Dumbledore put a hand reassuringly on the shoulder and she was wall to her face. It was a silent conversation between two people familiar to the tension from her body finally gave and they sat down again to her seat.
Fudge had used this moment. He got up and walked out a few times ago and wondered how he should begin the conversation at best, until he finally stopped and his arms crossed over his chest. "All right," he said, "what's going on? I want to hear all the details. "
" You know where were we? "Severus began. Fudge nodded, his eyes remained focused on his opposite number, in anticipation to hear the rest. "Well, I do not know if it has come to them, but Neville Longbottom is left on his own request."
"Yes that was me already happened, I just do not understand ..."
"We suspect that an impact on the Future had, "Severus interrupted him.
"So you think that Mr Longbottom the future, that our presence has changed," Fudge's face was thoughtful as he continuously with the tip of his shoe up and down typed. "No," he finally said, "No, we would have eventually noticed a change."
"I doubt, Sir," Dumbledore raised his voice and all pairs of eyes in the room were on him. "We have never had a different present exist. The change, initiated by Mr Longbottom, has brought the returnees in a parallel present, which is the natural evolution, since they have left the past without Mr Longbottom. But even if I conjecture Severus certainly very likely think - at least it would be a logical explanation for these circumstances, "he made a circular gesture with which he pointed to all parties," but I am afraid that we can not change the situation. I think we all of us are new to this situation must resign. "His eyes went across the room from one to another, looking at her intently.
"Does that mean that, I can say goodbye to my husband," asked April. Your voice was brittle and the suspicious glint in her eye made her being only apparent. She had the whole conversation about knitting avoided Hermione to look at and even now departed from her eyes an inch from Dumbledore as she clenched her hands into fists.
Fudge rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Well, we can Mr Snape of course not to force them to stay, "he said," but it is also inconceivable that he is married with two wives simultaneously and as they - after all, at least here in our presence, and that is Lich what counts - were first married, is the second marriage invalid "
Hermione's heart gave a startled jump and began to flutter irregularly.. The shock of it had to clearly have been the face, since Fudge then turned to her as he continued. "Severus Snape and April have only be legally divorced, so they can create a valid marriage. "
Hermione's heart rate had returned a little reassured. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that the grip on her hand had become a little stronger and she remembered in spite of everything because he was still there, at her side.
The sparkle in April's eyes had long since turned into tears that stole isolated from their eyes. "Even if you do not remember it, but I told you once means something. So much that you married me, "she said softly to Severus and held out her hand to show him to prove her wedding ring, felt at the sight of Hermione a lump in throat.
the ring on April's small hand she knew too well, it was Eileen Snape's ring, the same one that also adorned her left ring finger. Even Severus had to drop his mask for a moment and looked astonished at April's hand, two rings, two wives. Whatever he had tried to convince himself this was proof that he - albeit in a different reality - had loved this woman and yet he saw it the first time today and felt his heart at the sight not the slightest emotion.
April had regained, she tightens her back to an upright position. A strength, not for Hermione was different than their internal due admiration. Only a slight tremor, which had shot through her body, on the silent battle they fought out on the inside to close.
"All right, I suggest that you explain, Albus, and the other returnees, the situation. For Merlin continues, I hope that we do not expect even more drama, "Fuhr Fudge. "Mr Snape can prepare the divorce papers and send them to Mrs Snape. If both Parties have signed, they are officially divorced, and a second marriage, nothing stands in the way. "
Aprils face had regained much more color than her eyes fixed Fudge, still anxious not to see Hermione. "I did not give up without a fight in front of him," she said turning to Fudge, but that threat was not him.
