Hey thanks for your comments Silver (one of the many :) )
Rose Black (any relation to Sirius?) and TicTac, Here's the more
Must be a medical wing, that smell that hospitals everywhere had
turpentine and disinfectant. Her eyes opened and she found she was
watched and well. The one person they'd trust to keep her under wraps
because she wouldn't hurt or suborn him.
"Hello Uncle Serverus"
He looked around black eyes moving from the window to meet hers.
There was relief written there in dark ink and it pulled the corners
of her mouth up into a slight sweet smile.
"I made it"
It was almost a breath as she pulled herself upright. She was in what
looked to be a borrowed night-dress, white cotton had never been her
thing.
"You did, just, I don't even want to know what you paid to run for it"
Serverus Snape, not wanting to know, how unique. She sighed.
"Perhaps its best for you not to know, it was a price in blood and
pain, the same price anyone who tries to escape pay's"
He nodded, there were shadows in his eyes as well as under them
"I doubt your father took it well"
Her smile remained, but her eyes an odd shade of blackish purple were
cold
"I think that could be the greatest understatement of the year, are
there clothes?"
A half smile made it onto his face
"Of course there are clothes, we couldn't have you wandering around the
school naked now could we"
She laughed, a husky noise
"Good, then i suppose we'd better make a move so that i can explain
my disruptive and probably destructive presence"
His smile was gone now and his eyes were serious
"He's waiting for you"
Shoulders slumping she turned her back,
"I'll be two minutes"
The rush of air as he left the room allowed her to pull off the
night gown. She was naked underneath. A long winding tattoo from
her neck to her knees covered her entire back. A winged serpent in
black and silver.
Covering it with black robes she sighed and walked out of the medical
wing towards the interview which would decide whether she stayed here in
safety, or whether she left again.
And Died.

The long table at the end of the great hall was nearly empty the
teachers present were eclipsed by those that weren't there, Professor
McGonnagal, Professor Snape and Dumbledore himself.
Dinner had been served but he couldn't bring himself to eat, there was
something about to happen. He could feel it.
"Harry, are you all right? Harry !"
He snapped his gaze away from the long table to meet Hermoines eyes,
the worry was written there open and blatant. Ron was teasing Ginny
about something but she seemed adamant. He listened cocking his head
slightly after nodding at Hermoine.
"I don't have a crush! but the terrible two are glaring at us and, he's
not there"
Looking across at the Slytherin table it was easy to see who wasn't
there Malfoy's shining white head was missing and Crabbe and Goyle
looked put out.
Then the doors to the great hall swung open.
