A/N: This is my second SS+HG fan-fiction story, but first one to be completed. Please remember that just because my view of Severus may not be how you viewed him, it doesn't mean that my version is wrong or what have you. Also, I've made some edits after a few conversations with some reviews. Also, if you're going to leave a comment with constructive criticism in it, please be logged in or do as a PM, because I would like to actually explore what the issue is with you, and that way I can fix it and make the story better.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, if I didn't Severus never would of died.
Chapter 1
She was in shock. She never thought it could happen to her. Especially by someone she had considered a friend. She almost laughed at that thought. What a cliché, never thought it would happen to me. She thought as she pulled her wand out. It took about five tries but she managed to call forth her patronus and send it with a message to Draco.
Hermione knew she wouldn't have to wait long. She was in the dungeons, the potions classroom to be exact. She was on patrol, along with Draco. She had Harry had had a fight earlier and agreed to switch patrol partners so they could calm down and talk about either later that night or the next morning. Now that fight seemed so pointless.
At the sound of footsteps in the classroom Hermione let out a squeal, not meaning to but she hadn't even heard anyone in the hallway. Next thing she knew there was lit wand shining on her.
"Granger, you do know what the meaning of patrol does, don't you?" Professor Snape said snidely.
Hermione tried to answer but nothing would come out, her body just froze. She was too scared to do anything. She knew she should tell Severus what happened but she was already risking too much by having Draco help her. Just then they heard Draco calling her name as he was running down the hall.
"Draco, what is the meaning of this? You two are to be on patrol." Severus turned his wand towards him.
"Hermione sent her patronus to me. Said she needed help."
Hermione was managing to standup, but she was using the table, leaving her robes to fall in a pool on the floor. She went to grab her robes before Severus or Draco could see, but it was too late.
"Merlin's beard. Granger, what happened?" Severus demanded.
"Oh shut up Snape. Can't you tell she's in shock!" Draco said, yelling at him. As he walked to her, he pulled his robes off to throw over her. "Come on, Mi. Lets get you back to the dorms." He said gently. He was afraid to touch, not sure of the extent of damage caused to her body.
"No." she said weakly. "Take me to the hospital wing. In fact, Professor, please, I beg you, let us floo to the hospital wing. I don't want a chance running into the pot- patrol's on that side of the school."
Severus caught her quick change of words but he said nothing. Now is not the time to interrogate her. He thought as he quickly nodded his head, and led them towards the fireplace. After Draco and Hermione stepped in and vanished. He started to think about her last statement.
"That son of a bitch!" He said as realization dawned on him. He light the candles that where in the classroom and went back to the corner where he had found Hermione. There was blood on the floor where she had been sitting. He had even seen a smear of it on her leg as she had stepped into the fireplace. "I'll kill the little twerp." He thought as he left the room to tell Albus what had happened.
