Semper Fidelis
Severus stood outside the walls of his manor house. He used his elbow to toggle the latch, and his foot to open the gate, since his arms were full. The gate locked itself behind him, and when he reached the front door it opened himself for him. He made his way to the spare bedroom and unloaded his arms onto the bed. He left, letting the door lock behind him, and made his way to his suite. He sat down at his desk and had grabbed a quill and parchment when the reality of what he had done hit him.
Not pausing to contemplate, he quickly went through in his head the people that he knew considering who he could get to help him with the necessary arrangements. None of the Death Eaters, of course. Not Albus, not if he was going to hide the girl. Not Meg, considering who it was. And, after running through everyone else, the only one left was Lupin. He almost growled, so deep was his distaste at having to request Lupin's help.

By now you should have some idea of what went on
last night. As you probably suspected, I have a much clearer
idea. Nothing important to the cause was confiscated.
However, I did pick up a little something I think you will find
quite interesting that I would like you to help me work out
before I bring it up to A.D. Please come as soon as you can,
as this item will not store well.
S.S.
He folded the letter into an envelope, sealed it, and put on a charm ensuring it could only be opened by the one to whom it was addressed, then called in his owl to carry it. He had given her a sleeping potion, enough to keep her down for five hours. And he needed something to clear his head. He stormed down to his lab, selected a burn salve that took exactly four hours and twenty minutes to make, and soon lost himself deep into the entrancing sensations of the potion.
Disclaimer-I continue not owning all characters and settings.
A/N: I know this is really short, but the next one is about 4 times as long and they just didn't work as a single chapter anyway. I'd like to give a big thank you to my minuscule fan base for your faithful following. More will be coming really soon.
Thanks to-
animegirl-mika-Thank you very much for your support. I'm not sure about Ginny, but we will see more of the character relationships soon. I hope this will be able to be long, though I'm not sure right now. Currently it mostly keeps branching off and giving birth to new plotbunnies. If you're interested, I am going to put up a third branch in this series. (However, only two people are reading this one, so I may have to work on things with a slightly larger interest first) And thanks a lot for reading them.
Green Eyed Lady-I know about the names, but them just made the most sense in the situations. Snape definitely wouldn't have been on familiar terms with them, and the Daily Prophet would have to be formal about it. Plus, I'm not sure if the teachers call Ginny that, her full name, or just Mrs. Weasley. I have no idea what you are implying about plot devices *looks slightly offended and rather shifty-eyed*. There are more chapters coming, but I don't want to get ahead of my readers (all 2 of them). Thanks a bunch for your encouragement.
