Disclaimers:
This is a post deathly hallows fan fiction; since J.K. killed off Snape I could finally claim him right? Post-Mort? And do the right thing?
No? So I won't claim any of the characters, but I can still do right by him. This story is for everyone who did not want Severus Snape to die. It is M rated to be on the safe side and it would be a HG/SS reason I am writing it in the so little English I know of instead of Bengali is, there isn't any Bengali fan fiction web site yet that I know of. So please pardon the unintentional mistakes.
Beta acknowledgement:
As a result of Writermerrin's kind heart, I am able to repost this chapter without the previous errors. Thank you Writermerrin.
CHAPTER 1: Wing mirror
"Hermione! What happened? How?" Harry Potter rushed through the hospital's corridors towards his best friend and sister-in-law, and she rose up sobbing,
"Harry! Oh, Harry! Thank God you're here. He began asking for you at the moment it happened."
"How, Hermione?" Harry repeated.
With her already sopping hankie she wiped her face, vainly trying to keep it somewhat dry, but her tears knew no bounds. She sniffled some more."He forgot to look at the wing mirror".
Harry felt like his world just collapsed underneath his feet, 'How could he! He just joked about it only a few hours ago when they were at King's Cross!' Twenty-seven years of friendship that started in the same station stormed through his mind: the very first day, trolley full of candies, Hermione looking for Trevor, the car ride through London's skyline, all those years of fighting an evil dark lord side by side, hunting for Horcruxes, the quest for hallows. Harry could have managed none of that without Hermione and him. 'After surviving all those adventures, all those Death Eaters….now Ron is fighting death because he did not look at the wing mirror! That's just plain absurd!'
Harry's musing came to a halt by Ginny's reproach "Don't be silly, Hermione, how would you know when an accident will occur?"
"It is my fault, I shouldn't have let him drive in Muggle London, but he was so exited about Rose's first day …" she broke down again and the rest of the Weasleys hurried to comfort her.
"Someone needs to check up on Mum," Bill said, and Fleur left to do just that.
"Where is Molly?" asked Harry.
"She's in the next ward. They had to admit her; she couldn't bear the knowledge," Arthur Weasley replied in a heavy tone.
"I will go and bring the kids home. I don't think they've reached the school yet," Percy said.
After what seemed to be years of waiting, the door in front of them opened, and a gloomy, guilty-looking healer approached them. Hermione Weasley fainted upon seeing the look on his face.
A./N: The chapter title reflects on what Ron said to Harry at the station in the epilogue of D.H. about forgetting to look in the wing mirror and the story starts just when the epilogue ended,on their way back to home.
