A/N: I completed this chapter the day after I posted the last one, but I
was waiting in hopes to get a couple of more reviews...even if it was
flames or just to say what the owls name should be. I really did like the
name I have heard so far, but I want many opinions for it. Also is anyone
reading this anymore?! Cause if ya are could you tell me?! I'm keeping this
story going because I thought a good deal of ppl were reading it, or even
that a small group of them were. But if I'm mistaken and no one reads it
anymore cause you think it sucks now, just tell me! I'm a very blunt person
and I can deal with it. Also I must say that I'm kind of proud of myself
for this story because if you check out all my other stories I tend to
abandon them part way through, but I've kept with this one this far and I'm
hoping to complete it. Then I'll get back to the others I've lost track of.
So now please R&R. It's much appreciated. Thank you.
Danielle: Hmm. I like that name. I might use it. Thankz so much for the review I really did enjoy it. lollylips3: Thankz so much! Well Hermione doesn't have to be too evil in this chapter. But enjoy!

Waking up to the sun playing lightly on her face, Hermione wanted to lay in bed all day long, but knowing that she needed to get up and make an appearance at breakfast got her up and started on her day.
Severus trudged up the stairs of the dungeons towards the Great Hall. Even after last night he was still expected to eat breakfast with everyone else. The night before there had been no feast, instead the students were all sent to their dorms and food was sent to them. As for the first years, Dumbledore had led them to a couple of large old rooms where they camped out on the floor, girls in one room and the boys in the other. The sorting was to be held at breakfast, then the rest of the day everyone had off of classes to collect themselves as Dumbledore had said the night before. Severus knew he'd need more than just a day, in fact he didn't know if he would ever recover. Having finally found Hermione, his love, and taste her sweet lips for the first time and then lose her yet again was too much for him to bear. After a great night of drinking all the alcohol he could find he had passed out. Now not caring enough to even pull himself together for the students he walked into the Great Hall with a new bottle of vodka in his hand remembering when himself and Hermione had consumed so much of it before and how it would drown his problems the best. Many students and teachers were in their seats waiting for the Headmaster to get started.
Severus staggered up to his seat at the head table. He fell into his seat with a plop, realizing all of the students were staring at him in the most disbelieving manner he tried to sneer at them all but giving up halfway through. Spotting Draco come in to the hall Snape remembered that it was his father who suffered at Hermione's wand last night. Getting into a drunken hissy fit, he yelled across the hall from where he sat. "Malfoy Jr. Welcome back! 10 points from Slythrin" then downing down more of the strong liquid from with in the bottle.
Well that sent the whole student body into a chaos of whispers and shocked reactions. Draco being furious that Snape, his head of house was taking points off of him demanded to know, "What for! I haven't done any thing!"
With that Snape gave his almighty smirk, "It's for that cheek you've got there boy, I expect to never hear it again." Letting his smirk fall and be replaced by a self-satisfied smile he downed the rest of the bottle.
Malfoy was sputtering in disbelief, but being wise enough didn't do anything about it. Severus summoned a house elf to get him some brandy and another bottle of whiskey. The house elf tired to tell him he wasn't suppose to give anyone alcohol got the coldest glare of his life. "I said I what I wanted now get it for me... or else!" a deadly whisper in which happened to be issued when the Headmaster came in.
Shaking his head in utter disbelief the headmaster strolled up to Severus. "I think you've had enough of these type of drinks, taking the bottle the house elf had just had appeared on the table in front of Snape.
"I think that I have not had enough, not until I pass out from it and until then I plan on drinking it all away."
"You know," as the headmaster took his seat, which was one away of Snape. "I think we should have this discussion later and not in such a public place. Also I must say that I do not approve of what has happened."
Confused and bewildered the potion master stared ahead trying to figure out what he did. Which gave Albus the opportunity to start the breakfast out. "Welcome everyone. I am very sorry to say that we had to post pone last night's feast but I am sure you understand. Before we eat we must have a sorting of the first years." With that McGonagal came through the doors with a line of students following behind her. Severus missed the whole sorting, from being in a daze. He came back to when the headmaster started to speak again. "As you all know we have lost many last night. Now if we may I would like to have a moment of silence for those who lost their lives in the most honorable way I could ever think of." The silence lasted till Dumbledore started up again. McGonagal had tears running down her face and Severus could only think of Hermione and wondering what she was doing and if she'd ever come back to him. "Now until we can find replacements for the teachers we have lost, those classes will be held as free periods. Classes as I'm sure all of you are excited to learn will start tomorrow. Also please note that the forbidden forest is forbidden. Also for all of the students, your head of houses will be in your common rooms later tonight to go over with all of you the new safety precautions. That is all for now, thank you."
With that food appeared before everyone. The students talked quietly to one another scared to speak out too loud. Also scared of Snape, never has he ever taken points off of his own house before and now he did for something that hadn't even happened yet. "Severus, please eat something." Albus was trying to get him to eat something anything other than some alcohol substance.
"Of course headmaster." He said mechanically. Then proceeded to put two pancakes onto his plate, and one on the empty plate next to his. Buttering the pancake up and pouring lots of syrup on it he then went about dribbling a bit of syrup on his pancakes. Slowly taking a small bite out of his pancakes. "What did I do to upset you Headmaster?"
Now Dumbledore was confused, "What did you say?"
"You said that you didn't approve of something that I did, and I want to know what that was."
"Oh," his smile gone from his face now. "I didn't say I was upset, just that I disapproved, and I do." Now staring intently at Severus. "I disapprove of student teacher relationships. As much as I feel that you two are doing each other so much good when together, I still disapprove."
A sad sigh was emitted from Severus. "Well there was not any student teacher relationship of which you speak of until last night. But as you can see it is not real. She is gone now else it would be." A small tear, unnoticed by Snape, ran down his cheek. Albus was lost for words, he expected him to try to hide it, and was also kind of surprised that there wasn't anything going on between them. Before he had a chance to say anything an owl swooped down to Severus as if it's life depended on it. Snape never having seen this bird before was a bit wary of it but none the less took the letter that was offered. Opening a many-paged note, which the handwriting was very familiar. "Albus! Albus!"
Staring wide-eyed at it, he stood up abruptly, "What is it, I'm right here tell me."
"It's from Hermione." His heart was beating furiously. He ran out of the hall and down the stairs and to his rooms. As soon as he was securely in he sat down on the couch and read the whole letter, many times over. Clutching a large bottle of Brandy Severus cried and cried, not caring of what has become of him but knowing what he had gotten her into. Knowing what she was going to go through, pretending to be on the dark side, while sending out their information out to be brought to public knowledge. The risk and mind games that take place. Severus wept for all of these reasons, but mostly for his one true love who was now gone from him, and most likely forever. A/N: Unless you want a mopey Snape ALL the time I suggest you R&R I have the next chapter done, so you better hurry up and review if you want it out! Cause I'm not posting it until I get 6 reviews for this chapter! Mwahaha okay I'm done being odd, please review. Thankz!
