The tongue is sharper than the sword

Harry, Hermione and Ron made their way down the corridor to their least favorite lesson, Potions. "hey you guys i'm starving can't we just skive this lesson and..."

" RONALD WEASLEY!!" hermione shouted "How are you suggest such a thing. Do you know what snape would do if he caught us, which he most undoubtfully will and..."

" Yeah but Hermione..."

" Don't but Hermione me " Hermione said through clenched teeth as they continued on their way to potions.

" Hey hey, you guys can you just calm it down. Hemione, if Ron doesn't want to go to potions let him, and we can go by ourselves." Hary said seeming very sensible at that moment in time.

" Alright Harry that seems like a good idea..." she trailed off mid-sentence when she saw the look on Ron's face. " Well Ron, Harry is right you know, if you don't want your education that is fine but don't try to drag us into it...you know what i mean right?"

Ron's face was full of anger. He had turned as red as his hair and he looked like he was going to scream at them both. Harry noticing this and not waning to cause a scence turns to hermione, " come on hermione lets go." They both turned and started to walk towards professor Snapes classroom door.

Ron's rage had hit a peak and something snapped inside of him, he whipped out his wand and screamed " Don't you dare move another inch or i will curse you into oblivion!!!" Harry and hermione froze and slightly moved their heads to look at each other. " I said do not move!!!, don't you understand them simple words Potter." Ron screamed. He then had his wand pointing at Harry and yelled a curse that harry could not understand as someone had opened a door with a loud bang. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. Harry saw this unknow curse towards him, Hermione was screaming his name trying to figure out what spell it is. Suddenly Harry felt someone push him out of the way of the curse and he landed smack on the floor bashing his head against the stone wall, thats when it all went dark.

Harry heard soft muttering as he started to come out of his state of unconsiousness. There were several voices but he was unable to make out exactly who they were. He could tell that one of hem was hermione, who sounded like she was crying more than talking. There was two older women talking, an old man and a younger man he guessed. One of them had a very deep voice, which sounded very concerned. Harry tried to remember what had happened as he lingered in and out of consiousness. He remember walking towards potions, Ron not wanting to go..., wait a minute where is Ron, I can't hear his voice at all, he shold be here for hermione. Wait a minute, Harry thought, Ron cast a curse at me of some sort, but i don't remember it hitting me at all, although something or someone did knock me into that wall. All this thinking was making harry's brain hurt so he decided to let it go for about two minutes until he felt left out of the conversation and he wanted to stop Hermione crying, he hated it when his friends were upset. Harry slowly managed to pry his eyes open, however the light was very bright and he quickly shut them again. Harry tried again and eventually he managed to have his eyes open fully against the sunlight in the room. He then realised that he has a splitting headache. Great, harry thought, just what i need. He looked around the room and saw the culprits to the mutterings that he heard earlier. There sitting on the chair beside his bed crying was hermione. The two women talking were madame promfery and professor Mcgonagal and then Harry had to look twice at who was talking with concern to the headmaster. Nope his eyes wern't decieving him it was no other then Severus Snape, the professor who hated him badly since the moment he walked through hogwarts gates, harry was now in his last year and now Snape stated to show he cared Geez what took him so long, harry thought. Harry moved and put his hand on hermiones shoulder. Hermiones head snapped up incredibly quickly that harry was sure that she would of gotton whiplash. HARRY!!!! She screamed ad gave him a massive hug. " hey hermione, are you ok?" harry asked struggling for breath as his frind was hugging him so tightly. " Yes harry i'm fine now that you are awake and well. She sniffled. By this point the rest of the room had noticed that Harry was awake and they surrounded the bed.

Dumbledore was the first to speak. " Harry my boy, glad to see you finally awake."

" Thanks professor...i"

" Now now my boy there's no need to thank me, i think the peron you need to thank is professor Snape here, he's the one who saved you fom that curse." Harry's mouth dropped open in suprise at the name of his saviour and he quickly recovered.

" Oh erm ...Thank you sir"

" You're quite welcome potter."

"now everyone it's the summer holidays in two days so i'd like everyone two meet in my office tonight...is that ok with you Harry?"

" Erm ...yes of course Headmaster."

" Is that ok with you Severus ?"

" Yes of course Headmaster, it was my idea after all." Severus answered with a smirk on his face.

"Well thats settled, everyone at my office for 9pm ...oh and miss granger and mr potter, do not tell mr weasley where you are going."

" Yes sir" they replied. Hermione helped harry out of his bed and out of the hospital wing.

" i wonder what this is all about harry."

" Yeah me too. We'll have to wait and find out."
