As Harry, Ron and Hermione crawled back in to the tunnel they never saw the large Hawk moth fluttering at a frantic pace towards Severus Snape. They never saw the young nubile woman that formed from the insect. She ran to an over turned cupboard and pulled out two bottles. She looked at them making sure they were intake and still full.
She returned back to the man who to everyone else was dead and looked into his black eyes. Blood still pulsed from his wounds, but it was very weak." Hold on Severus," was all she said as she poured Essence of Dittany on the wounds the snake made sealing them with a puff. She wished she knew some other way to heal the wound without scarring, but knew there was none.
She uncorked the second bottle that held the Effervesce potion and she poured some down his throat to help strengthen his ragged breathing. It went from nearly non-existent to a ragged sound that tore at the ears. She new that she had to move quickly.
Pulling one last vial from her pocket she lifted it and looked through the ruby liquid and then back at the man struggling for life. She knew that the potion was his only hope but the side effects would most likely drive him crazy before they wore off.
As she looked down at him she made up her mind. She had given her word and she knew in her heart that no matter what she couldn't leave him there. Not with how she felt for him. She removed the stopped and poured the ruby liquid down his throat.
The reaction was instant. Severus's eyes snapped into focus and looked at the woman," Who..." he rasped, but it hurt to speak. He focused on the green eyes that looked into his. They were beautiful and he wished he could see her face. As if she could read his thoughts she tossed her head to ride her face of her hair. He caught his breath at the sight of her lovely face.
"Later," she said and snatched up his wand. She took hold of his tattered robes and pulled him up to a stand with all of her strength. She staggered a little under his weight. He was much heavier than his this frame let on. "Hold on," with that she turned on the spot pulling them into the black void between places. The pressure was too much for Severus. He lost consciousness.
When they landed they were enveloped by hot sticky air and the sight of a house with its lights on. The woman yelled up to the house and her care takers ran out. The two men took Severus from her and began to carry his now unconscious form up to the house.
She ran past them to the house calling to the men giving them instructions as she disappeared into the house. As the men carried Severus up to the spare room she began to prepare for the physically and emotionally draining struggle for Severus Snape's life.
