Severus Snape lies dying in the Shrieking Shack when he sees a vision of his mother.

Do not rule out the power of love, for there is great love in your life. A maiden as beautiful as a lotus bloom, a maiden as fragrant as an exotic perfume is in your future. Your love is a flower, waiting to be embraced at right time.

This is a hot little one-shot. Snape and Hermione go to a bookshop. They leave together.

Severus is reinstated as Headmaster and calls his first staff meeting.

Hermione finds an old woollen blanket in the Shrieking Shack. Unable to leave it to moulder in the dirt, she takes it with her.
