"Severus!" Hermione screamed
Severus lay on the ground crumpled into a ball blood pouring everywhere
"Severus!" Hermione didn't even realize she was crying as she shook Severus franticly trying to wake him up.
Hermione was distraught trying to wake him crying and screaming at the top of her lungs
"Severus!"
Running feet could be heard coming towards them closer and closer
Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Filch all came running into the library throwing open the doors and coming towards them
Dumbledore reached them first
"Miss Granger?" he said looking at the crying and screaming girl then he saw what she was looking at
With one steeping motion Dumbledore reached down and picked Severus up, with remarkable strength for a man of his age (130! As of this time!)
Dumbledore turned and left the library taking with him the ghostly pale Severus. Leaving behind a crying girl who had stopped screaming at this point and two dazed adults.
"Miss Granger will you please come with me?" McGonagall asked placing a hand on Hermiones shoulder. Hermione was crying to hard to respond. She had never seen anyone in worst condition not even Harry. The only thing she could think was "I'm sorry my love."
It was true Severus wasn't her love in that sense but she did care for him as a friend a great deal. Even after he had called her a mudblood and slapped her. She knew he had been about to apologize when he was called and that was enough for her.
"Miss Granger?"
Hermione just hoped he would be all right. In the back of her mind she knew he couldn't die for he was the feared potions master in the future and he couldn't die. If Hermione had been thinking clearly she might have drawn up on that thought but this was too much for her. Seeing Severus fall to the ground blood pouring was like seeing Harry or Ron die.
Was she really comparing Severus to Harry or Ron? It was true they had only been friends a short amount of time, and not the best of, but Hermione felt like she could tell him anything and everything and she knew he would be there for her, even if they did get into fights. Severus Snape and Hermione Granger were friends?
"Miss Granger?"
Please be okay Severus please be okay.
"Filch can you carry Miss Granger to the hospital wing? I am not strong enough to do so."
Filch scowled but picked up the still crying girl who was lost in thought
As they all left heading towards the hospital wing McGonagall couldn't understand the depths of Severus and Hermiones friendship. The girl had only been here for a little over three days. How could two so different people form a bond that fast?
"Love is a strange thing it starts out as friendship and blossoms into so much more. It starts out with the little things and then builds and builds relying on each other, trusting each other. And then there are those special few who can fall in love with out knowing it in only a matter of days. A special friendship so deep no one understands. Love is a mysterious feeling. Love is all around us and deep within us."

Filch sat the crying girl on the bed in the hospital wing far away from the other bed occupying her friend Severus as McGonagall had ordered him to do. If he had had it his way he would have had her sent straight to detention for being out after curfew. Thumbscrews! That's what they needed! Darn Ministry workers saying it were too cruel!
Dumbledore ran with Severus up to the hospital wing getting Poppy as soon as he put Severus in the white hospital bed. His blood was already starting to stain the sheets a deep crimson color as he called for Poppy.
"Poppy come quick!"
Madam Pomfrey bustled from out of her office still clad in her nurses uniform, even though it was 2 am.
"Yes Headmaster? What do you need….." Her eyes went wide as she saw the body of Severus Snape
"What happened!" She screamed running forward to assess the damage
"I do not know at this time Poppy," the headmaster said in a calm voice, even through he was feeling an enormous stress considering one of his students looked like he was dead.
"He will need a blood replenishing potion I sealed his wound as best I can for now. But I must know what happened if any dark magic was involved."
"You will have to wait until he wakes up or ask Miss Granger"
"Miss Granger?"
"She found him"
"Oh but…." The opening of the hospital doors cut off the rest of Madam Pomfreys sentence.
Filch walked in grumbling about thumbscrews or some such nonsense, carrying Hermione followed by an anxious looking Minerva.
"Filch put her far away from Mr. Snape," McGonagall said gesturing towards a bed at the far end of the wing.
Pomfrey bustled around the room tending to Snape while the others waited for her to stop to speak.
After about an hour of Pomfrey tending to Snape and giving Hermione a sleeping draught it was time for the adults to speak.
"Pomfrey what is wrong with the boy?" Minerva asked looking at the ever paling Severus.
"He has been hit with a curses far to numerous to name most were of the dark arts."
Minerva gasped but it didn't shock the headmaster.
"Will he live?" he asked looking over the boy
"There is a strong possibility he will not make it threw the night," Pomfrey stated
"And what about the girl?" Minerva asked looking down to the other end of the wing to the sleeping Hermione
"She will be fine"
"I mean how will Hermione take the news of Severus'…. death if it comes to that"
Dumbledore had heard enough and gave the women a sharp look then exited the hospital wing. If there was one thing he didn't want it was talk of death in his school
"Orion I said yes"
"Eliza I love you! You love me! Why!"
"William is…. I can't stay here… with you"
"Eliza do you love him?"
Silence
"Eliza?"
"I… it is best if I get away from you…. you can continue your life and I mine"
"Best for who Eliza!"
"You!"
"Why!"
"I am marrying William!"
"Eliza"
"Orion!"
"But I thought…"
"I must go back coming here and going there is to much"
"Eliza I will come with you and stay there please!"
"You don't belong there and I don't belong here"
"Leave me then" the man whispered turning away from the woman
"I won't be returning"
With a swish of robes the woman turned and left the room leaving Orion behind
Thursday passed and Severus still did not wake there was no improvement in his condition. Hermione was awake now and spent every free moment sitting by him willing him to wake but he never did…. would he ever?
"Eliza!"
"Orion you can't be here not now"
"I told you I would come back with you please trust that I won't leave you"
"Orion you don't belong here"
"I belong with you"
"Orion you are dead here… to me"
"Eliza I am here and alive please do not do this to me… to us"
"I can't! We don't belong together please!"
Friday passed without Severus waking up and there still was no improvement. Hermione cried herself to sleep that night hoping he would awake in the morning
"Messing with time can and will bring pain"

Saturday came the day they were supposed to go to Hogsmead.
Hermione had refused to go without Severus.
McGonagall had went and gotten her things for her placing them beside her in the hospital wing.
"Love and friendship is the one thing that can help a person through the most difficult times. It is something to live for something to fight for."
Eliza J. Wirthworthy
Sunday came…..
"Hermione…." It was a whispering of her name that caused Hermione to rouse from her light sleep. Having fallen asleep in the hospital wing.
Hermione lifted her head from the bed and saw something she hadn't expected
"Severus! You're awake!"
Dumbledore watched from the doorway as Severus made a miraculous awakening. Other would wonder why he had come out of something most would not have. But of course Dumbledore knew the answer to this question. Severus Snape had something worth living for, something worth fighting for.
Yay! He woke up okay MEMO: Eliza parts are not in order of her life they jump around and change from the beginning to end to middle to beginning. So do not let that confuse you in Eliza's part it jumps!
KEEP READING AND REVIEW ME! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! (I am a beggar now!) THANKS!
