Spells and incantations flew throughout Hogwarts during the battle. I held my wand close to my side as I made my way out to the boathouse where I followed Harry, Hermione and Ron. I stood a few feet away, watching Voldemort and Severus speak from inside the boathouse. He was so beautiful as Voldemort circled him, the way he always circled me when he demanded answers from me after class. Suddenly his throat was cut by a silent spell by Voldemort and Nagini bit him several times. I tried my hardest not to cry out.
My hands clapped my mouth as I was forced to watch Harry and his friends go inside to speak to Severus before I would. After he gave Harry his tear in the vial, he went limp. They went to use Dumbledore's pensieve to view Severus's memories. When they left, I hurried inside and got to work. I stood over him hoping to any higher power that he wasn't dead yet. I took out a vial of antivenom that the Professor and I had made to counteract the venom from Nagini.
How did I know Severus would be bitten and die from the bite if not treated? I dreamed it one night in fifth year. I told him everything that would happen in the future and how to stop the Dark Lord from sixth to seventh year. It took a great amount of time to acquire an antivenom for the breed of snake that she was. It was about a year at least before we finally brewed a small batch to cure what would be his neck wounds.
I poured the elixir down his throat and waited. About fifteen to twenty seconds in, a deep cough emitted from his lungs. Thick lashes fluttered and opened, black orbs fixated on me. The raven haired man continued coughing sharply. I checked his throat. The wound would need to be healed quickly. I began to chant "vulnera sanentur." Severus coughed, looking at me. He said nothing yet. The blood seemed to ease as I repeated the spell and traced my wand over the wound. I reciprocated the songlike chant and movement of my wand several times until the wound knitted.
"...Why...why did you come back for me, Miss Champion?" The Potions Master questioned weakly. "Why did you do this?..."
"You taught me the countercurse...you helped me make the antivenom." I said with a smile. "And I love you. I couldn't let this nightmare become reality." I was beginning to sob as Severus coughed again.
He sighed. "You are but a child, Miss Champion. Perhaps you were only doing so out of pity for me. You must know how dangerous coming here would be. You could've died trying to save me."
"I have to get you out of here!" I screamed frantically, sobs racking my small frame. "He could be back!"
Severus shook his head. "No...he'll be after Potter now. Just go, Miss Champion."
"I'm not leaving you!" I yelled back at him.
The professor shot me a glare. "Don't be stubborn, girl. Live your life and forget about me."
I didn't listen though. I grabbed his hand and we apparated away from Hogwarts.
