Crying, Hermione ran to the lift. The girl rushed out into the street. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She'd lost her way, but Hermione didn't care. As the girl was out of breath, she started to walk slowly, sobbing and mumbling: "You are silly woman, Hermione Granger! You've been irritating everyone since this morning! It's unpardonable. He really suffered and that was completely my fault. One improper move of mine – and he went through all those recollections, humiliation and pain once again! He would neither take me to the Conference nor help me to find the burglars! He wouldn't even talk to me!" - Miss – suddenly she heard man's voice talking to her. Hermione looked around and saw a tall blonde guy standing nearby, watching her anxiously. – Are you OK, Miss? At this precise moment Hermione has found herself standing on a cliff. It looked like she was going to jump from the cliff. - Oh, yes. Thank you! – Hermione backed away from the dangerous place. - Are you sure you can get home safely? – the blonde asked carefully. - Of course, - Hermione lied. - I can escort you home. - No-no, thank you. I can really get home on my own. You've already done too much for me, - she smiled. - Then at least follow my advice: go home, have a cup of hot chocolate and go to bed. You'll be OK tomorrow morning, - the guy said tenderly. - Thank you. I'll follow your advice, - with this Hermione left the blonde guy alone and made her way to the hotel. As she was walking she thought about Snape. How will she face him again? What will she say? And as Hermione was standing near the room 512 she was trembling, her imaginary speech forgotten and tears coming to her eyes. The girl knocked – there was no answer. Perfunctorily, Hermione tried to open the door and to her own disbelief succeeded: the door wasn't locked. Hermione was standing on the threshold, unwilling to enter. Then she heard a familiar cold voice, sounding a bit exhausted now: - Enter the room, Miss Granger. You are not to stay in a draught. Hermione was in the room now. However she was looking at the carpet on the floor, not daring to lift her eyes. She was afraid to look at Severus and to see anger or indifference or ...pain in his eyes. Severus called her: - So... - I came for my trunk. I'll leave your room, - she said in a low voice. – I'll do what I've promised: I'll leave you in peace. - And now, Hermione, make the best of your bright brains and tell me, - his voice was calm again and the girl was relieved a bit, - where on earth are you going with a heavy trunk in the night and in unknown city? Hermione was a bit bewildered with such a question. - And by the way, I've promised Dumbledore to keep an eye on you. If I've promised that, I'm not to throw you out of the hotel. It's very dark outside. And after all things that had happened to you today, I'm afraid you are very nervous and your mind can't handle anymore. - You're staying - Snape said firmly. – And I have to congratulate you: your Healing Draught was very powerful. And then the thing Severus has feared really happened: Hermione lost her nerve, she couldn't handle anymore. The girl fell onto the bed, crying. At first Severus paid Hermione no attention. However, as her loud sobs were now interrupted by periods of time when the girl was suffocating, Snape came close to her. He tried to shout at her: "Stop it immediately", but there was no response. Hermione was unconscious. The man was really worried now. Severus stood up and walked to his store, took out a vial, named "Cambio Dolore", poured a bit of the liquid into the glass, added mint and camomile to the glass and... drank it. Then he took the same glass and done the whole procedure again and made Hermione drink the potion. In some minutes Hermione was conscious again: - What happened? Snape sighed with relief: - You were nervous. And now you are OK. I advice you to have a shower and go to bed. Everything's going to be OK tomorrow. Hermione entered the bathroom. She had a nice warm shower and was completely satisfied. When Hermione entered the room she understood Snape disappeared. He made his way to the bay, his favorite place in this city. He had a headache, but the potion still wasn't affecting him. "Hermione's Healing Draught was really very powerful. And if it were possible the Dark Mark would be healed instantly. However with the charms that Voldemort used on his followers it was completely impossible. It's very strange that I saw images from my past. It was very painful, nevertheless I fill better then ever, I feel renewed." Snape's thoughts were interrupted: he fell to the ground, he was suffocating, he saw nothing and his heart was beating strongly – the "Cambio Dolore" potion was working. Severus left the hotel on this purpose: he didn't want to cause panic. Hermione would certainly scream and try to help him, she'll be scared. Snape somehow understood that the only way to save Hermione was to take all her pain to him. Snape was ready to sacrifice himself if it was the only one way to save her life, even if she was insufferable know-it-all Gryffindor! He felt badly: it was like hundredth of pins were stinging his skin, the heart stopped beating for several times, his eyes saw nothing and the soul was empty, like after the Kiss of the Dementor. Voldemort's meetings and tortures were nothing compared to it. Suddenly his mind was full of short image, thoughts, but not his own. Hermione's thoughts: her first year at Hogwarts – she has no friends, the Graduation – she is all alone at the Prefect's table, battle with Voldemort, and then... she is sitting next to him, brewing the potion, talking about Lani – she pity him, she hates him, she is afraid of him, she doesn't know him. Suddenly the pain was gone. Snape was walking along the road while thinking about that strange images and thoughts!
