Chapter two: the Bloodied Thorn
- Shit this hurts! - He screamed mentally to himself as he came up to the stone gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office.
"Uhh ." Why couldn't his brain work? What was the bloody password?
"ACID POPS!" he finally managed to yell out.
He ran up the moving staircase, with surprising speed, and into the headmaster's office, without so much as a warning.
"Albus! We must leave! Immediately! Hurry! We haven't much time!"
"Severus! What is the meaning of this? What . Merlin's robe . why are you bleeding?!"
He gave the old man a death glare, and proceeded to use one of his menacing teaching voices that would have made any 6th year piss himself.
"Severus, that won't work on me. Now sit down and tell me what is happening!" Dumbledore gave him a stern look. He relented, but he didn't sit down. He paced about the office, bleeding freely, while giving the headmaster a quick explanation.
"I was sitting in my rooms, having a glass of scotch before I retired. Don't give me that look," Albus looked at him sternly.
"As it was, I picked up my glass to finish the rest of its content, when I felt a sharp pain come across my left arm. At first I thought it was the dark mark, and then I realized the pain was much to low on the arm to have been that. I started bleeding almost at once, and within a minute a sizable amount of my blood was on the floor in my sitting room," He paused for breath, and contemplated how best to come about the next part. -Might as well be honest- he thought.
"I looked down, right into the center of the pool, and I saw a figure. It was a young woman crouched on the floor in her knickers, in what appeared to be a muggle bathroom. She was holding her right arm, in the same spot were I am bleeding on my left and she was sobbing. She seemed to stop for a second and she looked up, and it looked as if she was looking at me. At first it didn't register but then I realized it was Hermione. Albus, we need to leave . now." He growled.
Albus looked up, down-hearted. Severus didn't like this look.
"I'm afraid there is nothing we can do for her, Severus. It is out of our hands. She's in the muggle world now, and that's out of my hands. If she were here, then that would be a different story."
"Albus, surely there is something you can do! I can't just leave her and forget what I saw! It was real!"
"I know, my son, but the ministry ."
"I know we are under investigation ... But surely just once ..."
"I'm afraid not Severus." He said in a final tone.
And with a swirl of dark robes, Severus fled from the room, leaving a very sorry Albus behind.
Hermione's House:
She didn't know how long she'd been sitting in the bathroom, just crying for her love, when she heard a commotion downstairs.
What the .
She stood, uneasily, and walked to her desk. She grabbed her wand and crept slowly to her door. She opened it only a bit, and peaked into the hallway, only to be greeted with the image of a tall darkly clad figure.
Her mind went blank. Oh Goddess Oh Goddess Oh Goddess, she screamed mentally. He pushed open the door and approached her, backing her into a wall in the process. She whimpered as she realized there was no escape. I'm going to die.
But isn't that what you wanted Hermione? Another voice calmly stated in her mind. Not anymore, no, I want to see Harry and Ron again. I only want to be able to just glance at Severus one last time!
"Hermione!" a voice shouted.
She glanced up and honey eyes met onyx.
"Severus?" Was all she managed to gasp out before she fainted.
"It's alright my love, I have you now ." He whispered in her ear before picking up her body, covering it with his cloak, and apparating outside of Hogwarts gates.
