Severus remembered he was supposed to give his son four communicator necklaces, one for each of the four first years, so they could contact each other and him if something ever happened. He quickly levitated them into Harry's pocket, and spoke telepathically to him. 'Harry, I can speak to you telepathically,' he thought as Harry jumped slightly. 'I just put into your pocket four necklaces you all should wear, to be able to contact each other and me. if you need to contact each other or me, hold the gem in your hand and say "lily". Then whatever is going on can be heard by the other three and me. Got it?'
'Yes' Harry thought back. He handed them out (red ones to Ron and Hermione, and the green ones for himself and Draco) and explained what had just been explained to him. They told him "thanks".
The group of Gryffindors and Slytherins started walking together and chatting about how their Christmas breaks had gone, when Harry spoke up.
"You guys remember how Professor Snape was the one who rescued me from the Dursley's and became my guardian?"
"Yes," the other three said.
"Well, he adopted me a little before Halloween," Harry said apprehensively.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Hermione asked.
"I was afraid you wouldn't like me for it," Harry admitted.
"Not like you?" Draco asked. "How could anyone not like you?"
"Yeah, you're brilliant, mate," Ron stated.
"The best!" Hermione exclaimed.
"So you don't hate me for Snape being my Dad?" Harry was incredulous.
"Nah," was Ron's answer. "Besides, you might get him to mellow a bit. Poor Neville."
"I'll ask him about it," Harry said thoughtfully.
"Hey! Severus is my Godfather, so now you're my cousin!" Draco suddenly came up with.
"I guess I should call your mom and dad Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius now then," Harry said excitedly.
"Yup," Draco agreed.
It was the next day right before dinner that Hermione dragged Ron away to library to get a book she remembered she needed. Draco and Harry just walked into the Great Hall for dinner when it started. As Hermione and Ron left the library, they were slammed into from the left.
"How dare you associate with slimy Slytherins? And you call yourselves Gryffindors," a voice hissed in their ears. They heard another voice cast a silencing charm around them. And yet another voice said, "Good thinking Cooper." Ron looked at the three attackers and saw they were seventh year Gryffindors.
"Hermione," Ron whispered. She looked at him.
"Shut up you," the one called Cooper smacked Ron across the face. Ron pointedly looked at Hermione's neck. She of course immediately understood. She gripped the red gem through her robes and whispered "lily".
"Bruce," the one whose name hadn't been said yet said. Bruce levitated Hermione and put her back against the wall. He slammed her into it repeatedly until she finally lost consciousness.
"Luther, wake her up, and pour the potion down her throat," Bruce said. Luther cast Enervate on Hermione and pored the Wakefulness potion down her throat. The potion would ensure her staying awake for at least 24 hours, at most 72. Then Luther poured another one down Ron's throat. Then the three attackers stared pummeling Hermione and Ron. They started slamming them into the ground and wall, and Hermione and Ron's screams of pain reached no one except Draco, Harry, and Severus. Harry and Draco told a couple of nearby Slytherin prefects, and they raced through the halls to the library.
