Take Notice This Story Is in 5th Year; So Ignore Books After OotP

The golden trio was situated outside the Ministry of Magic, recounting the plan. After the past 5 weeks of careful planning, going through MOM blueprints and speaking to the Order of the Phoenix, this was it, the time to go find what was really said in Harry's prophecy. All you could hear was "1, 2, 3" and Hermione's "GO".

Hermione, Ron and Harry rushed into the department of mysteries with their wands perfectly poised to defend an attack from the death eaters. They were here for one thing and that one thing only. They had no time to lose. Ron had volunteered to act as lookout when they strategized the play of action. He watched Harry and Hermione run off into one of the many corridors that contained magical prophecies. "Time to stay sharp and kick some death eater arse" he mumbled into the air.

"Harry have you found it yet?" yelled Hermione from the ending of the aisle while rushing through unimportant prophesies. "No I haven't found it yet. But I do wish they put a tracking device on it. Would've saved us time." replied Harry They were push out of their reverie by Ron running toward them, yelling" hurry up these arseholes are almost here" Within seconds the room was filled with bangs as death eaters apparated all around them. They ran zigzagged until Harry yelled to split up. As Hermione ran in a direction, her mind went into overdrive. "If Harry's birthday is July 18th 1980, that would make the prophecy in row 80 number 7:18. How did I not see this coincidence before. Fuck! That's behind us." Quickly casting her otter patronus with the intended message that should take Harry to the globe of truth, she failed to notice the two approaching death eaters behind her.

Running into a dead end, she stopped and swiftly turned around wand in hand. As she heard "Expelliarmus" from one of the men, and a Sectumsepra from the other, she knew she was in some deep shit. Eyes wide as saucers, she felt her wand fly from her hand and into the hand of the masked man. Bleeding, the last conscious thought she had was for Harry to find it and to get away safely. Then she dropped onto the floor, unconscious, to the men's rambling about what to do with her.

Severus Snape apparated to Lord Voldemort's stronghold, as he was at the ministry raid, for the news about the spoils and treasures of the fight. As they entered the mansion, Severus was busy thinking what he was going to relay to Albus Dumbledore. As quickly as that thought came, it vanished as his occlumency shields went up and his thought and feelings went down. Gathering with the rest of the Death Eaters, he wondered whether the raid was successful and his time protecting Potter and the ther two muskateers had come to an end. But that was proven when Lord Voldemort burst through the door with such a look of fury that could kill those who decided to cross him. Gregory Goyle, death eater dumbarse, decided to find out. "My lord, what has put you in such a foul mood?"

The second his question left his lips, Lord Voldemort screamed "Crucio" with such force that Goyle was on the floor in mere seconds covered in his own piss, withering in agonized pain. "One does not simply question Me when in my presence" Voldemort hissed. Without another word, Goyle was taken to another room to be further "trained" Being lead out, wolf whistles and crude comments could be heard by Goyle as he hung his head in terror.

As a peace offering, Pettigrew quickly and quietly brought up the captures and "spoils" of the battle. As he brought out young children, men and women, all of them to be tortured, raped and eventually killed. Severus did not display any emotion. If he did he would have been beaten as one of them. As he looked on, he noticed the last person was none other than his student, Hermione Granger, know-it-all, pain in the arse extraordinary. As he was looking from the safety of his hood, he saw she had a long gash starting from her collar to her waist. He immediately noticed that which was his curse. He muttered under his breath, knowing this would be hard to explain to the head master and head of house.

His thoughts were once again interrupted by Voldemort's voice. Heard his name called and stepped forward. He took off his hood, revealing his face. Coming up to Voldemorts throne, he bowed and kissed the hem of the robe and waited for permission to raise his head. As the permission was given, he stood up and waited.

"Either a Crucio or a boon with a side of Crucio" he thought knowingly as that was either one of Voldemorts moods.

"My loyal servant" Voldemort started. Severus wanted to snort. He wasn't loyal by any means. He belonged to the Greater Good and was since the death of Lily Evans, his once true love. After almost 20 years, he still loved her in memory. Looking back now, he realized that if it hadnt been for Lily, he would not have been a death eater.

"It has come to my attention that you organized this raid. And even though this raid was a failure due to the incompetence of these fools" with this said, Voldemort pointed to the crowd of death eaters. "You deserve one of this "spoils" for yourself. Choose wisely Ssseverus as you are rewarded once in a lifetime" he lisped.

As Severus turned and scanned the area, feigning interest, he stopped and looked straight at . He knew that Albus and Minerva would kill him if he didn't rescue her. With a lasting look he turned back to Voldemort and pointed at Hermione with a sneer. "Her" he said. Lucius Malfoy (immidiatley) interrupted Snape. "My lord, you have promised my son,Draco, to keep this "Filth" as a plaything" If Voldemort hadnt been half snake, one could say he turned purple out of rage. "Bellatrix, Lucius need to be taught not to talk out of turn. If you wouldnt mind, you have been granted to teach him". As quickly as Lucius said that, He was tied up, levitated and taken to a torture room. Snape simply continued "Have her delivered to me unharmed and well" Voldemort quickly lisped at Severus, "You will come back after you receive the girl and lock her in your rooms, My Loyal Servant" "Yes, My Lord" replied Severus. With a quick but deep bow, he left to his rooms. Not even 10 minutes after he left, there was a knock on the door. He cautiously opened it, only to find Pettigrew levitating the still unconscious Granger into his room. He took her from the rat, and slammed the door shut. He put her down and clean the wound then healed it to the best of his ability and he apparated with her to Hogwarts. He quickly ran with her to the Headmasters office to leave her in safety while he went back to his snake-like master.

"As you see my dear servants, one is rewarded but will suffer as you have suffered so far. I do believe I kept you long enough from your "party" with the blood traitors and the muggle filthy" Voldemort remarked. Not soon after, Severus arrived, just to be Crucioed on the spot. He was lead through many torture exercises which consisted of whippings, burnings, sharp kicks to the ribs and most of all crucios. While trying to distance himself from the pain, he could faintly here Voldemort laugh as he watched Snape and all the others suffer. Severus quickly detected that all the others that he didn't save were being brutally tortured and maimed. He distinguished Bellatrix Lestrange, back from torturing Lucius and Goyle, cutting up the bodies of children and adults aloke, having them end up unlikely to be recognized. Severus laid there for some time before he had permission to leave the revel. He stood up, quickly healed and dillusioned himself, and then apparated straight to his rooms at Hogwarts to clean up the blood and dirt from his robes.

"No I certainly won't Albus". "Yes Severus you will, you hexed her, you will keep an eye out for her" Said the famous Albus Dumbledore.

"I don't understand why Poppy cannot keep her in the infirmary" Severus huffed. Albus easily threw that comment back at him with a twinkle in his eye "because of the recent dragon pox infection, I'm sure you don't want her to have her immune system attacked while unconscious would you? Its quite infectious and has been transferring everywhere in the infirmary"

"No I wouldn't but why can't Minerva take care of her, she is her head of house after all, I don't believe I should take care of a cub under my serpent arm" he complained.

Dumbledore sternly replied "you either take care of her or your job is on the line. I could easily find another potions master but not another spy so I suggest get your guest room set up for Miss. Granger as she will be transferred in there this afternoon." with an afterthought he added " do make some healing and pain potions for her when needed"

As Severus got up, he had a thought come to him. With a smirk, "Albus, I will take care of her as long as you tell Minerva about her cub being injured and in my care. Oh and I will be back tonight to discuss the raid plans and damage done yesterday" and with the last word on the topic, he turned and left the office in his billowing robes.

Dumbledore turned to his beautiful phoenix and remarked quietly, "I hope someday he finds something to live for, something that makes him happy."
