(A/n: Okay…I was glad that I finally got this chapter done (AKA Thursday, March 27th, 2008...yes You can kill me if you want on delaying this chapter.) But the main reason I'm updating is because...because...NO don't worry, I'm not going to quit this story, but I found out that my best GUY friend is leaving my school because of a situation. So I am soo DOOOWNNN! It's not funny. It's almost the end of the school year, but, even though he's coming back for 9th grade, it really upsets me because he won't be with me. He's my best guy friend EVER! Even though I met him in 7th grade and I'm in 8th grade now, it feels like forever. Anyways, the point of this updation is because since I am so down and sad I'm going to have my fellow readers be down to...LOL! Mean I know, but I need someone to feel bad like me, even though you won't be sad about my life but more likely the story. Oh well.

I cannot wait for reviews!

LOVE YOU ALL!!

(A/n: Okay…I was glad that I finally got this chapter done (AKA Thursday, March 27th, 2008)

Thanks to those who review:

Nascarchick- Well, Severus WILL find a way to get Hermione out, but there's just a little trouble they need to get out of first. You dig what I'm saying'? Yes, it is about time that the two kiss. YEAH!

KalisonArtor- My beta! I LOVE YOU!

EruthiadwenGreenleaf- If you thought that the last chapter (26) then you'll defiantly think that Chapter 27 will make you cry…maybe, I'm not sure. Thank you. I too like how I put the songs together and mush it all in one. LOL! Yeah, Harry was…well…a cold heartless bastard to say the least…and it was a little bit OCC for him, but I kind of needed to be that way. What can I say? He's been hanging out with the grudging Ron too much. Nah I'm kidding! Oh, and the cookie and the sundae was delicious, by the way.

Notwritten- Thanks! Love you too hon.

Little Ms. Crazy- -Smiles brightly- Yes now the only thing standing in the way is "Moldy Butt!" Good Lord what am I going to do? (Readers: KILL HIM! Me: -is appalled-) Thanks for the encouragement, sweetie.

AncaCristina- I loved it too how Dumbledore came to the rescue for Hermione. I had to at least have someone be there for Hermione so she could continue. You know, I don't when Severus will return to Hogwarts, but I do hope soon, don't you all? I would do "Everytime We Touch" I don't think it'll work for this, but not right now, but I could try to make it work, but it might be different because it might for a different use, but like I wrote, I could try. How old am I…well I don't see the problem in this question so I'll answer it. Since my birthday is was on February 16th, 2008 and I was 13 when I started this I am now…14 years old. "Just wondering, why the question on the age?"

Brenda-wood-sheil- Yes, the story will get painful (okay maybe a little bit) and they will need their LOVE TO SURVIVE! YES!

Incendia Panthera- I'll let you know when the time comes for Voldy to die to go start the popcorn as well as the drinks for all of us around. Cool, how's the painting for your house going? What the color? Yes, Dumbledore is awesome…totally sucks that he ain't here! (No offense of being a spoiler).

Miss. Silver Star- FABULOUS, good you manage to hold on! Keep it up because I will need for the reviews and your thoughts on this chapter! :) Yeah I like it when I have songs (when it's needed of course) and the songs has its own pause and then I'll put the words I need for that in the story. So I love that…I call it my signature…okay I'm kidding! LOL!

Smileymrd- Yes, I have to admit though with the Lucius thing…I got the idea from AncaCristina so yeah. Thank her for that, not me. Severus hopes he can to on the apart thing. Sorry Lavender is not under the Imperius Curse, no she's just PMS-ing on that day…LOL! Sorry to disappoint you, but Lavender cannot be bruised otherwise…J.K. will kill me for sure. Yeah…sure…I'm on the same page. LOL! I'm hoping this is a long chapter, but if it isn't I'll try to make it up in Chapter 28. Thanks for reviewing.

Padslet- Thank you so much and I see that a lot of people liked the song With Me mixed in with the talking of Severus and Hermione. I love it too! I always cry when I read this.

Pure Girl- Yeah, that moment won't stay happy for long. SORRY! LOL! But I love when I see tears in these characters, which sadly I do not own, because it gives me emotion and that DRAMA WE ALL LOVE (I think…) Also, I'm kind of glad that I do not own these characters because if I did I would not be able to describe these characters like JK Rowling does. LOVE HER WORK (even though I don't read it…LOL!) If I did own these characters my story probably wouldn't be as popular as it would be. Get what I'm saying.

AncaCristina- Okay I know that I've just reviewed for you, but you reviewed twice, and I just felt like I wanted to review you twice. I love you girl just to let you know, and not in that mushy by the way. LOL! That rhymed…yeah I'm weird, I know. SUE ME! You're from ROMANIA? I LOVE YOU I actually did my country, in 6th grade, about Romania for world culture week when all the students had to do a country that they have never done/lived in. I so want to visit that place so badly. No matter how cruel Dracula was, I still love him…basically the reason why I love him is because of GARY OLDMAN (AKA FROM AIR FORCE ONE AND HARRY POTTER (SIRIUS BLACK) –fawns like soap opera person- Also I give credit to, if you've guys/gals seen Van Helsing, with Kate Beckinsale and…RICHARD ROXBURGH! LOL! I love him, too! Oh and here's something for you sweetie, JUST FOR YOU…I would recommend reading some of this girls' story…they are about Dracula. Though…more on Van Helsing, but Dracula nonetheless, I would read this woman, Remember's, story. One of my top favorite stories is: Ink on a Page and The Eighth Deadliest Sin. But that's your call honey.

BIG QUESTION:

Do any of you guys, the ones that are basically reviewing my chapters, actually read what I write to you?

Because if not then I'll stop for you guys. This question will be posted on my homepage on fanfiction as a poll so then I can if it's a yeah or nay. But look on the Brightside, this gives you some publicity for on goers to look at your story as well as your homepage :) –forms a square with hands in thin air- just thinking outside the box here.

Also, the song being used for this chapter is (FYI…I was having trouble with this song so…don't whine about it in the reviews. I don't need it):

Everything by Lifehouse

P.S. the little "( )" means to keep on reading as those lyrics are behind the background.

My inspiration was from you guys' review as well as some TV shows that I was watching/ thinking.

Some of these lines are from Charmed when Leo has to die in order to be saved, but the lines are a little bit mixed up and from a trailer I saw that was really good! Though…it was Japanese and I didn't really get it…but good anyways! :) It was called "Hana Yori Dango Fan Trailer" so yeah.

Oh and before I forget I'm really now just expecting 13-15 reviews in order to get the next chapter up...though...DON'T expect to so soon as you would like. :)

Your reviews just mean a lot to this Slytherin who is basically depressed.

Hopefully this long chapter will make up for my lateness.


An Angel's Voice

Chapter 27: Everything & 'I Love You'

Previously on An Angel's Voice (A/n: okay if anybody's a Buffy fanatic here, you'd realize that I used that introduction from Giles in the older season, meaning one, just to let you know since some people think when I say "older seasons" they might think the opposite.)

"I love you, too." Hermione said with a smile through her tears.

Slowly Severus grasped Hermione's chin and slowly inched himself closer to her and then in seconds their lips met. Hermione made a small gasp once more, but certainly wasn't complaining, she returned the favor.


"How sentimental," a cold voice that sounded all too familiar for Severus, slowly the Dark Lord stepped out of the bush with the most horrible grin you could ever imagine, "you know I don't think I've ever been this taken back since…well to tell you the truth I never have and I was hoping I never would. No matter, your death, Miss Granger, will bring tears to my eyes."

In blink of an eye Severus had shoved Hermione behind him as Severus narrowed his eyes on Voldemort. "I won't let you!"

"Well you certainly can't stop me," he retorted, "besides Severus, you were going to help me with it."

Hermione looked up at Severus and felt scared for her and for Severus. "Severus, what is he talking about?"

Severus blinked his eyes. Shit! He forgot about that part. He didn't tell Hermione that he was sent to kill her.

Voldemort looked at Severus and smirked, "oh did you forget to tell her, Severus? You did, didn't you? HA! I knew it!"

Severus responded with nothing except Voldemort did see a tight lip from Severus.

"Well, Miss Granger, allow me to enlighten you on what we're talking about." The Dark Lord walked closer to Hermione, stalking the couple, "you see, the only reason why Severus is standing here healthy and…clean, is because in return, for letting him seeing you, he had to do a simple small favor. Well, simple in my view at least. Want to know what it is, Granger?"

Severus looked behind himself and saw Hermione pondering on if she wanted to know what it was. "Yes," she said in a way that sounded more like a question than an actual command.

"To kill you," Voldemort said like it was obvious. When he saw Hermione look at him like he had already called an apocalypse he added, "What? I find it simple. Don't you?"

'Not bloody likely,' Hermione thought as she shook her head.

"That's enough," Severus said stepping into this discussion.

"Or you'll do what, Severus? Give me detention? Go to Dumbledore and complain to him how unfair I was by giving you a simple task?"

Severus was literally ready to pounce on the Dark Lord and he was willing to kill himself in the process, but reminding himself that Hermione was just right behind him kept him from the violent action. He felt Hermione's grasp on his robes making him looking back at Hermione again.

"Were you seriously going to kill me," Hermione asked hesitantly.

"No! Of course not," Severus said quickly. Hermione felt slightly relieved, but the tension in this area was still high, it didn't help exactly essentially it made it worse.

"Severus," Voldemort said in a stern tone, "are you not on my side anymore? 'Cause if so I might have to just kill you right here, right now."

Hermione looked back at he-who-must-not-be-named, "how can you be so…so…"

"So what- Evil? Vindictive? Coldhearted?"

'Well yeah,' Hermione considered, but didn't say it out loud.

Voldemort rolled his eyes in annoyance, "enough of this foolish chatter. Severus, kill her or I will." Severus looked at the petrified Hermione and then back to his lord. "Do not test my patience, Severus, you already are past mine."

Severus looked back at Hermione who can see that her breath was already shaking. He wouldn't get her hurt now…hopefully not ever. In a quick movement Severus protected Hermione by wrapping his hand as he yelled out, "NO," he quickly apparated Hermione and himself to a safe destination leaving an empty set for the Dark Lord to see.

"NOOOOOOO," before the Dark Lord could take even a second of his approach to grab Severus from leaving, the Dark Lord was alone in the woods. "SHIT!"

Voldemort was enraged! Severus would pay dearly and the only thing that flashed in his mind to get rid of this situation was by death. Yes, it would make Voldemort unknowing of the Order's attack on his army, but he was willing to take the risk just this once.


Severus and Hermione reach themselves a small damp cave. Looking around, Hermione couldn't see anything. "W-W-Where are we, Severus?"

"Lumos," Severus muttered lifting his wand in the process and letting the light shot right out of his wand making it just float in mid air above the couple, "a small cave I used to use when I was younger. Think of it more as a safe ground away from my father when he was drunk."

Hermione made a small nod knowing it was still a touchy subject, "why are we here? Couldn't you have apparated us to Hogwarts or something?"

"Because I wasn't thinking clearly when I had only 5 second timer in my head when I was standing in front of the Dark Lord almost getting you killed," he snapped. Realizing his action and Hermione's eyes looking at the ground, he sighed, "I'm sorry, Hermione…"

"It's all right. I should have known that," there was small pause in her voice before she continued, "thank you, Severus, for getting us out of there. I wasn't sure what you were going to do."

"I couldn't kill you even if I want to," Hermione snapped her head towards him as if he was seriously going to kill her, "not that I would…Dumbledore would have my head."

Hermione snorted un-lady like, "thanks. I feel so much love," she said sarcastically, although, she couldn't help, but smile at him.

"Just trying to enlighten the mood," Severus said with a smirk. He sat himself down next to the wall, scarcely caring that he was ruining his robes. He made a huge sigh and ran a hand through his hair. Hermione bended down, not realizing her necklace had fallen out of her shirt, to join Snape. Snape heard a small 'clink' that made him look over towards Hermione. He stared at her in adoration.

Hermione looked at him and saw he was staring right at her; she slowed her movements until she was fully down on the ground and then asked, "What?" not even realizing that her necklace was out for all wondering eyes to see.

"You're wearing the necklace," he answered softly.

Hermione looked down and took hold of the necklace before looking back at Severus, "of course, never took it off ever since you gave it to me."

"Did you ever read inside of it," he asked.

Hermione paused remembering when she did. When she couldn't recall a moment of it she looked down and brought the necklace closer within her eyes, 'My darling Angel,' Hermione could feel tears form in her eyes as she look back at Severus; "I'm your Angel?"

Severus moved closer to her and leaned his forehead to hers and enjoyed her scent invading his senses. "Always," he whispered.

Hermione brought her lips towards his and kissed it lightly before she began to feel pressure from Severus. Severus wrapped his arms around her waist as she draped her arms around his neck pulling him even deeper into the kiss. When the two finally came out of the kiss breathing deeply Hermione blushed scarlet and look away from the kiss. "Well…," she cleared her throat, "that was a lot to take in," she breathed in heavily and blinked several times before coming to terms she kissed her professor.

Severus smirked, "hope you won't regret it," he said softly to himself.

Hermione looked at him puzzlingly, "I'll never regret it."


"Ronald Weasley, ladies and gentlemen," Neville spoke through the microphone.

The crowd applauded and Ronald walked up with a guitar and spoke through the microphone as his eyes squinted from the bright lights. "This song is called Everything by Lifehouse." The lights in the room darkened once more and only having one light on where it happened to be where Ron was standing.

Ron strummed his guitar as he began to start the intro with a soft lullaby rhythm.

(Intro of music)


Severus smiled at her and leaned forward once more. The kiss was soft yet still held the passion just like any other passionate kiss would hold. When Hermione pulled away she couldn't help but smile and comment to him, "Severus, you're going to be the death of me," in return Severus gave her a chuckle from himself remembering he said the same lines he did weeks ago.

Ron:

("Find me here")

"Hermione," Severus said sorrowfully.

("And speak to me

I want to feel you

I need to hear you

You are the light")

Hermione looked up at him again and furrowed her brows, "what?"

("That's leading me

To the place

Where I find peace again…")

"I—" Severus was quickly interrupted by a loud voice that seemed like a yell of frustration by Voldemort, and it was.

"WHERE ARE YOU, SEVERUS!"

"Dammit," Severus muttered to himself,

("You are the strength")

"I knew I shouldn't have used my wand. Quickly, Hermione, you have to go."

("That keeps me walking

You are the hope

That keeps me trusting

You are the life")

"No! Not without you," Hermione said desperately clinging to his death eater's robes.

(""To my soul")

"I'm not losing you to him again," Severus could see the shed of tears in her eyes.

("You are my purpose

You're everything")

"Please don't make me, Severus," Hermione begged, "Please." She whimpered.

("And how can I

Stand here with you

And not be moved by you

Would you tell me

How could it be")

"Hermione, don't make this harder for me as this is for you. I don't want to let you leave—"

("Any better than this")

"So don't."

("Ahh Yeahhh…")

"—but if I do you'll be dead for sure and I can't have that, can I?"

"So you rather let them kill you then letting me see you ever again?"

("You calm the storms

And you give me rest")

"Dammit, Hermione," he growled in frustration, "Don't make me choose that."

("You hold me in your hands

You won't let me fall")

He grabbed her face holding it tightly…

("You still my heart

And you take my breath away

Would you take me in")

"I love you too much for you to be killed…" Severus whispered chokingly.

("Take me deeper now

And how can I

Stand here with you

And not be moved by you

Would you tell me

How could it be

Any better than this")

Severus leaned forward and kissed all over her face.

("And how can I

Stand here with you

And not be moved by you

Would you tell me

How could it be

Any better than this…")

"Please, I'm begging you," he said sternly even though his own tears were coming.

("'Cause you're all I want

You're all I need")

Hermione closed her eyes, "I rather have you kill me now than having the Dark Lord have my blood in his hands."

("You're everything

Everything")

Severus was stunned at what she was saying, "Hermione, are you even listening to yourself?!"

("You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything

Everything")

"I don't care! Just don't make me leave you! Not again!"

("You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything

Everything

You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything

Everything...

And how can I

Stand here with you

And not be moved by you")

"I'll never leave, but if I don't get you to safety then who will, Hermione? Huh? Who will," Severus was at the point of shaking her to her senses.

("Would you tell me

How could it be

Any better than this")

"I'm not losing you in order for me to be saved. I'm not going to let the Dark Lord split us up anymore. I won't allow it," Hermione shouted.

("And how can I

Stand here with you

And not be moved by you

Would you tell me

how could it be

Any better than thisssss

Would you tell me

How could it be

Any better than this")

"Hermione you have to go! I am so sorry that you had to be caught in the middle of this," Severus was already crying, "I'm so sorry. But we've been through worst, haven't we?"

Hermione closed her eyes as tears still ran down when she shook her head, "no. We haven't."

"We're going to get through this. Please, Hermione, just go."

Finally, seeing that Hermione couldn't argue with him, she just looked down and said in hoarse voice from all the crying, "I don't know how to get back."

Severus hugged her tightly, pleased, yet at the same time sad, that she agreed to leave and get to safety.

"I'll part us back then. But I have to get back right away."

("Would you tell me how could it be

Any better than this...")

Before Hermione could answer, Severus had apparated them to Hogwarts right outside of the Variety Show, right outside of the Great Hall, where there was applause for Ron's great work.


Hermione had closed her eyes and had her arms wrapped around his waist. "Hermione I have to go," he said in the best stern voice he could to her.

Hermione shook her head and held his body even closer to her. "NOO," she shouted causing everyone in the Great Hall to look towards them.

Hermione wasn't paying attention to anyone around except Severus, who was standing right in front of her. "You're here now and you're safe you don't have to go back to him," Hermione's body was beginning to shake rapidly in fright and her mouth was beginning ramble, "Dumbledore and the Order can take care of the rest. You can stay here and work as the potions professor and it can be like old times. The students will talk behind your back saying how much you are of a bitch, but I'll know the truth. I'll know that you're the most caring person I've ever met and nothing they say will change that. PLEASE, SEVERUS! GOD DAMNIT DON'T LEAVE ME. You're acting stupid right now, you're a git, and you hold more emotions to yourself than anyone else I know," her eyes had became blurry, but right now she could hardly care about that, "I've fallen in—"

Severus cut her off with mouth and kissed her desperately. Hermione's hands were running through his hair as Severus' hands caressed her neck making her shiver from the touch. He let her go and looked at her directly in front of her eyes and said, "I promise I'll come back as soon as I can. If not…remember I'm always going to be here for you. I'm your guardian, remember?"

Hermione made a small smile, and quickly reached for her necklace and removed it from her neck over her head and placed it on Severus' neck. "And I'm your angel," she whispered.

Severus held her cheek, making her close her eyes, and rubbed her soothingly before he apparating himself right in front of her, turning into a huge smoke of black smoke.

Hermione opened her eyes right when she felt a wave a smoke coming around her. She looked through that smoke and could see Severus make a small smile before leaving her standing on her own. Hermione breathing was beginning to hyperventilate and doubts of him not living came back flooding in her and she crumbled to the ground, crying helplessly. She covered her face with her hands and her sobs were becoming uncontrollably.


Harry rushed towards Hermione over the huge crowd as did Ginny, Ron, and Lavender.

"Excuse me," Harry said repeatedly to the students to get to Hermione as quickly as he could. Once he was out of the crowd, Harry rushed towards Hermione and kneeled in front of her grasping her shoulders in the process. "Hermione, please relax."

"Harry," Hermione asked sounding like a small child who seemed completely lost.

"Yes, 'Mione, it's me," Harry responded with gentleness in his voice. He had forgotten all about the argument he had with her as soon as she had apparated her and couldn't help but feel sorry for his friend as well as Severus.

Hermione jumped into his arms and held him tightly feeling almost safe in his arms, almost that is.

Harry held Hermione in return and rubbed her back soothing her with his "Shushing."

Ginny looked down at her friend Hermione and couldn't help herself from not crying in tears. Tears were rolling down her cheek and she said in a shaking voice to Harry, "I think we should take her someone less…crowded."

Harry nodded and held Hermione tightly as he lifted her up.

Minerva had just come through the crowd of students, "students please get back," she commanded.

Dumbledore was right behind Minerva and said to the students to go as quickly as possible to their dorms and sleep.

The students left quickly and all were muttering around the same topic: Hermione.

Dumbledore spoke to Harry sternly, "Harry, please take Hermione to the hospital wing. Now."

"But, Profess—"

"NOW," he said more strictly, spooking everyone else in the room that was still present that made Harry not to disagree again.

"Yes, sir," Harry said as he walked passed Dumbledore and headed towards the hospital wing. Ginny and Lavender looked at each other before following right behind the Golden Trio who were already ahead of them.

As soon as the Gryffindors had left, Minerva looked at Dumbledore with concern. "What are we going to do, Albus," she asked powerlessly this time, not seeing why she still needed to be strong when she knew Albus could feel her worried aura around her.

Albus sighed, "I don't know…" he said he walked towards his office tiredly. He turned back to Minerva who seemed deep in thought, "Minerva?"

Minerva looked at her headmaster, "Yes, Albus?"

"Would you care to join me with some tea and lemon drops?"

Minerva smiled at him and nodded her head, "I would love that."


(A/n: alright…there you go. Drama in this chapter I can tell you that. I have to say as I was typing this chapter up…I was crying! Though, as you guys can (maybe, maybe not) that I was having trouble with this song. GOSH DARNNIT! And I loved every typing moment of it. Okay that was corny, but whatever.
