A/N: Sorry it has taken longer to update my stories, view reasons below:
Christmas Trees, hooks, lights EVIL
If I ever meet the person who created moon sand, they will die at my hands, if anyone ever buys my children sets they have over 100 pieces (small pieces) will die. Anyone who buys my 4 yr old a 500 piece puzzle again, will die. The list could go on, but alas, my house is a house once again.
Now on with the show.
Last time:
"Alright just meet back here if anything changes." Harry said while standing "I am going to bed, I need my beauty sleep" he chuckled.
The group separated and made their way back to their rooms, Severus was curious to see how well Hermione could protect her mind from him, it could make for an interesting game.
Now:
A week had passed since the meeting with Ron and Harry. Severus had tried many times to get inside Hermione's mind and it had in fact become a game for them both. Severus had only been able to enter a few times, but Hermione was waiting with false images, many including her naked, almost naked and even once with her kissing Viktor Krum, making him upset.
During one of the sessions, Severus had decided to turn into the black wolf and chase her around the room, Instinctively Hermione also changed and allowed the chase, but something incredible had happened, they both noticed that Severus had been more then 10 feet away from her and while in their forms, the spell didn't seem to take effect. Testing their theory, Severus would stay in one room, while Hermione went to the other allowing them to be away from each other. This would definitely help.
The very same night, Hermione and Severus had been summoned once again to Voldemort.
"The law will pass in two weeks time." he hissed " I have a list of the powerful muggleborn witches and tonight you will choose you bride."
Hermione and Severus stood in silence, watching the available death eaters fight over the girls.
"This is ridiculous, I'm telling Voldemort about Harry while they fight." she said to him in a low voice. Severus nodded.
"Voldemort" she called as he stood watching the death eaters fight. She and Severus walked over to the creepy lord.
"I have some information for you." she said looking bored
"Really Ms. Granger, and what would that be?" he asked in a curious voice.
"I've been watching Harry and he's been sneaking into the forbidden forest for the last few nights, he's always alone and always stays for a few hours."
"Why would you be telling me this?" he asked, suspicious of her revelations, she rolled her eyes.
"Because as I told you, self preservation is everything to me, you want information, I tell you what I find, it's simple really."
"I want proof Ms. Granger." he hissed
She pulled the map from her robes, and handed him the map, "He usually goes in around this time of night, give or take ten minutes."
Voldemort retreated to his chair, watching the map closely. Hermione used her telepathy while he was distracted.
She closed her eyes and concentrated on Harry. "Start towards the forbidden forest, Voldemort is watching the map." she projected to him.
She watched as Voldemorts eyes grew wide as Harry Potters dot made its way towards the forest.
"Ms. Granger" he hissed in a sickly sweet voice for being such a vial man. "It seems that you have done well for me."
She nodded,
"I say we pay Mr. Potter a little visit." he hissed
Hermione froze, she didn't expect him to want to go tonight, she also wasn't expecting Voldemort to want to bring along a few extra death eaters. Remaining composed, she smiled. "As you wish."
She turned away while Voldemort told the death eaters his plans and closed her eyes once again.
"He's coming for you tonight, make sure you and Ron are ready, he's also bringing death eaters with him, along with Severus and I. Be ready." She told him mentally.
Severus pulled Hermione to the side as soon as he noticed her eyes open. "How do you expect to take on so many with just the four of us."
"Don't worry, we've been fighting him long enough with out help." she said trying to remain cool and collected.
"I hope your right." he said before turning his attention back to Voldemort.
"My Lord, are you sure its wise to go in without planning for a few days?" Severus asked, knowing the dark lord wouldn't back down.
"He is alone, unprotected by the order or his friends, I will attack tonight." he hissed
"Yes my lord," he replied stepping closer to Hermione.
"Why would you ask him that?" she hissed in a low voice.
"To throw him off, making him think that he's not being trapped into anything, that way he wont try anything that would ruin our plans." he replied.
"Ms. Granger" Voldemort hissed again "I think you need to be rewarded for the information you have provided."
"Thank you, sir" she said, hating the niceness dripping from her voice.
"Approach...alone." he hissed
Hermione approached but Severus was only ten feet away. "I said alone, Ms. Granger."
"Severus and I are stuck together, we aren't able to be more then ten feet apart." she replied
"Well I cant have you going into fight in that condition, now can I." he asked "Severus, come closer to Ms. Granger."
Severus complied, slightly worried what the Dark lord was planning. Once he was a foot away from Hermione, he stopped, preparing himself for anything. Voldemort raised his wand and chanted in a language that neither Hermione or Severus recognized, a blue light flew from the end of his wand, hitting Hermione and Severus in the chest. The pair raised off the ground and started a slow spin in mid air, a loud cracking noise could be heard through out the room. The light slowly diminished and the pair fell to the floor.
"Rise" he yelled.
Hermione and Severus rose from the ground slowly, both trying to figure out what had just happened.
"Walk away from each other." he bellowed. Hermione glanced over to Severus, who shrugged and started to walk away from her.
5 feet, 7 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet, and he stopped, turning slowly to Voldemort.
"How did you do that?" he asked.
"Ancient magic, you two are no longer bound together and can fight like you are intended."
Both felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of sadness at being separated. Their thoughts were however cut short as Voldemort gave the order to disapperate into the forbidden forest.
