A/N Another short chapter. Achwell. I wish to respond to a few of the
reviews I got for the last chapter.
Han- Of course Voldemort is into snogging, because regardless of what anyone has told you, babies do not come from storks, and he does want an heir. And what's with the llamams?
Slythrin Godess- I'm glad you liked the last line. I did too, I don't know why I put it there though.
Next few chapters maybe rated R for violence. Not sure of my angle yet, but I'm getting there, honest. Please Review!
Hermione reappeared in front of the door that led to Severus' room. Her head was spinning from escaping Voldemort. She had of course went to her parents first and made Voldemort would not have the chance to use them against her again. That spell alone had been enough to drain most of her strength, but she still had to get back to the safety of Hogwarts. Hermione leaned against the cool stone of the castle and took a few deep breaths before going down the stairs. Hermione walked slowly, making sure she didn't stumble. Finally she made it to the door and opened it quietly.
Inside she found Severus sleeping in one of the chairs. The fire was casting soft shadows across his face which were deepened by the soft glow of the mark she had left on him. Hermione smiled weakly as she went over to Severus and kneeled before him. very gently she put her hand on his chest and removed the blue hand from him. Even in sleep, Severus sighed as her hand moved softly over his bare chest. Hermione rose up on her knees and kissed him on the temple. Severus jumped and caught Hermione by the shoulders. Hermione flinched at first. She hadn't been expecting him to have such quick reflexes. Severus smiled when he realized it was actually Hermione in front of him and not a dream. He pulled her to him, in an almost crushing embrace like when he had taken her from Malfoy.
"Don't you ever do that again!" He said into her hair. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck in response. Severus pulled back from Hermione a bit, looked her in the eyes as if trying to glue her to the spot. Hermione smiled again.
"Severus, I'm not going anywhere." She whispered in a weak voice. Severus looked at her skeptically. Hermione quickly covered his frown with her lips and pulled back again. "I promise."
Severus seemed satisfied with that a stood, taking Hermione with him. Hermione faltered and Severus scooped her up in her arms.
"Enough talk. You need to rest." Before he could get her to the bed Hermione had already fallen asleep. Severus put her down on the bed gently and covered her with the blankets. He sat down on the bed and watched her sleep for the longest time, vowing that he would never let her out of his sight again.

Voldemort paced in the middle of his Death Eaters. A shudder of fear ran through the circle. None wished to be at the other end of their Master's wrath, which was far worse than any of them had seen before. Lord Voldemort had not even been this upset when Harry Potter had escaped. At random he would stop and put someone under the Cruciatus curse. Voldemort stopped pacing. The Death Eaters feared the worst.
"I have had enough of this game." Voldemort hissed softly. " We will prepare to act Hogwarts." Murmurs began to fly around the circle. A shot of red lightning flew into the air. "SILENCE!" Immediately the noise died. "You have one week to prepare. No leave." A dozen pops sounded in the air at once, leaving Voldemort to his thoughts of attack.
" Foolish girl." He muttered. " I would have actually spared Severus, he was an asset at one time. He could have come back to me. Served us both if she had just given herself to me. But now I will rip his beating heart from his chest before her very eyes." Voldemort clenched his fist and smiled. "A half banshee is much more susceptible to the lure of dark magic."
