Chapter 1

The final battle was being waged on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the very place where everyone learned how to hone their tools of momentary destruction. Curses were flying in every direction and bodies were falling. At the moment it was Harry and Dumbledore versus Voldemort. Around them members of the school staff, ministry, the Order and student body were fighting Voldemort's league of Death Eaters.

Hermione was fighting back to back with Dean Thomas when she felt him drop to the ground she didn't have a chance to see of he was still alive , but deep down she knew the horrible truth, that her friends and classmates were dieing all around her. Malfoy junior and senior were coming straight for her and soon had her surrounded. She felt almost certain that she was going to die.

"Say goodbye, you filthy, fucking know it all Mudblood!" Draco spat at her and raised his wand to deliver the final curse and Hermione shut her eyes tightly.

"Avada Kedavra!" Draco collapsed to the ground, lifeless and Lucius spun around to confront his son's murderer.

"Snape, you fucking traitor! I'll kill you for murdering my only son!" Severus just stood there smirking at Lucius until a stray curse from a nearby fight almost hit Severus, but he had ducked in time. But Lucius saw his opportunity. "Cruc..." his curse was cut short because Hermione sent the curse Dolohov had used on her, in her fifth year, at him.

He fell to the ground next to his dead son, revealing Hermione behind him with her want raised and her face was filled with such rage that even Severus was intimidated. "You Mudblood bitch, once the Dark Lord has defeated your friend, you will wish for death and nobody will save you then! Not even your precious Potions Master." Lucius gasped out, "Oh, Severus should I tell her what you told me?"

Severus' eyes widened for a moment and he looked up at Hermione. "You might as well Lucius. You know I'm going to kill you anyways, if you want those to be your last words then go ahead, we're listening." Severus kept his voice even and face unreadable, but inside he was terrified at what Lucius was going to say.

He just laughed and looked at Hermione, "You know he lusts for you, your dear professor, that's all that's on his mind. When the Dark Lord enters his mind, that's all he sees. In fact, you were even promised as a slave to him for when we won the war." He chuckled painfully "that must be why he's defending you so hard, he wants to keep you alive so he can take you over and over."

"Lucius, I didn't know someone could be so stupid. I'm not defending her because I want her, because I'm a spy, you asshole! I haven't been a Death Eater for over 15 years." He spat in hatred. "Now it's time for you to say goodbye to any hope of living. I think I'll enjoy this, you see, I've hated you from the moment I met you. AVADA KEDAVRA!" there was the blinding green light and whooshing sound as the life was swept away from his body.

"Thank you, professor… you saved my life." Hermione said without taking her eyes off the lifeless father and son.

"I think we owe each other a thank you, you saved my life too Ms. Granger." They stood looking at each other, when suddenly a blue blinding flash and gust of wind that knocked everyone off their feet to the ground. Harry and Voldemort were locked in battle and everyone stopped to watch to see who would win. This was the deciding factor in this war.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed, "I have to help him!" she made to get up, but Severus pulled her back down to the ground.

"No! You can't, remember what Dumbledore said. Nobody can interfere!" Severus yelled over the noise and continued to clutch her arm. "There's nothing we can do but keep fighting the Death Eaters."

Hermione nodded in understanding. Severus rose to his feet and held out his hand to help her up. Together they charged a group of Death Eaters.
