The last rains of April had given most of the students cabin fever. The students as well as many of the teachers were happy when the rain finally ended. Hermione watched Harry on the Quidditch pitch. She felt the early may sunlight warm her. She spent many afternoons watching him practice with Ginny. It took her mind off of Professor Snape.
She had decided that she did indeed have a crush on the moody Potions master. Her heart wrenched each time she knew he had disappeared to go to another meeting.
She picked up her book bag and sighed. She had to meet with Dumbledore again. There had been numerous rumors and threats concerning Voldemort and when and where he would attack.
Hermione had picked up her training again with Azine. She was happy to learn that Neville had continued his training and would most likely be the youngest auror ever.
She walked back to the castle and walked silently through the hallways, "Hermione,"
She looked up and smiled, "Professor Lupin, What a pleasure to see you again," She smiled warmly at the shabby looking man.
"Likewise, I'm here with Sirius for Dumbledore." He said as they started walking. "Harry tells me that you've been training with an Auror."
"Yes Sir," She smiled, "Though Neville is doing much better than me. To tell you the truth I may pursue potions,"
"I am sure Professor Snape just loves that idea,"
"Actually I haven't had the opportunity to either talk to him on the subject or work with him for several months,"
"Oh," Lupin frowned, "I'm sure he'd think that you are too headstrong and you are a Gryffindor after all," They both laughed. they stopped only after they had reached to doors to Dumbledore's office. Hermione noticed Harry, Ron, Black and Snape sitting around the office. Snape looked as if he had been awake for a week, He probably had.

Severus felt the searing pain in his forearm, he tried to ignore it as Dumbledore droned on. "Severus?" Albus noticed his discomfort.
"I have to leave," Severus said the deep hollows of his eyes flashing pain and fear. "Continue without me."
Hermione watched as he rushed out of the room, clutching his left forearm as he did. She bit the inside of her lip as she watched him leave. She noticed that neither Ron Nor harry seemed concerned about his departure.
Please don't leave, she silently pleaded after he had fled.
****
Severus fled the castle and ran to the edge of the forbidden forest where he disapperated. He apperated in the makeshift court of the Dark Lord. He immediately felt the searing pains of the cruciatus and looked towards Voldemort. "You've wasted enough of our time Severus,"
Severus fell himself being bound and he looked around. He saw dozens, hundreds of white masks. He tried not to show fear, he knew Voldemort would enjoy it.
Severus stood facing the white masks of dozens of Deatheaters, he shook slightly, and jumped when the Dark lord said his name.
"Severus, you have failed me for the last time," Severus shook, "See how weak he is? Crucio!"
Waves of fiery searing pains raced through his body, "You'll die soon enough, Severus,"
"Crucio!" Again the pains wracked his already beaten and battered body, "You will first watch all you know die..."
"Master?" Severus saw Lucius smiling, "Shall we whip him first?" The man truly had a mean sadistic streak.
"Yes, that will be most entertaining. Don't you agree Severus?" Voldemort laughed as Lucius produced a bundle of switches. Severus was powerless to do anything. He could only hope that the end was quick, "Severus, yours will be a slow and painful death,"
Severus closed his eyes and clenched his teeth as Deatheaters immobilized him and tore his shirt away. They then found a post to tie him to. Lucius grinned maniacally as he chose the first switch, another deatheater close by held a whip.
Severus felt not only the stinging of the switches but the wave of failure. He knew that he had not only failed Albus and Hogwarts, but the entire wizarding world. he pictured Hermione's face. A brilliant young woman who no doubt would be killed because of her heritage. He didn't want to think about what They would do to her. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep from crying out in pain. I will not give him the pleasure of my voiced pain, he thought as they finished with the switches and turned to the whips.

Maddie: Sorry it has to get worse before it gets better.
Thanks: Zoe & Christina
Snapes-Mistress: I would love to add Serrento, But he is just for I, Snape. Besides I don't think I could handle him in two stories. Could you?
