Chapter 18- The Prophecy of the Phoenix.

Albus Dumbledore searched every book he could find in Hogwarts, but found nothing to help bring his granddaughter back. Most looked upon him with bitter sad eyes. Slumping in a chair in her room in Gryffindor tower, that he refused to let anyone in to clean or pack up her things. She will be back he would yell and they would leave him to his bitterness.

Deep in the dungeons of Hogwarts another was trapped in bitter sadness, but unlike the headmaster who was searching for a way Severus Snape knew it was hopeless. The rapture they shared was closed, and all he could feel was emptiness, that was eating away at his heart and soul. Everyday he slipped farther and farther into death. For death was his only salvation. Knowing that she was gone the prophecy was life for most but for him it was his death sentence. Sitting in the a chair by the window so he could see the spot she had been in those last moments before she left Severus waits as he has waited for two weeks since the fall of the dark lord. Potter and Weasley how he had grew to hate them even more since she had left, they went on with there lives while hers had stopped. Her last words wasted on them no goodbyes for his love. For six years he had watched her, fought the emotions that started to claim his heart. Her honey brown eyes, her mass of frizzy hair, and all the silly things she tried to do to get it to relax. He had lashed out at her time and time again trying to drive a wedge between there hearts , but in her first year she solved his puzzle and then in second year he had feared that he had lost her. All those moments when they took her for granted Severus saw her pain, could fell it as if it was her pain. Everyone thought his hate for Harry was because of his father, but it was because Harry could touch his angel when he could not. When she needed a shoulder to cry on or someone to stand up and protect her, it should have been him, but it was Potter always Potter. Even in the end before her fly to the heavens to the reaches of time and space it was Potter who she called for. Bitterness gripped Severus heart and pain worst then any curse that the dark lord could have thrown at him engulfed his body. So in wrapped in his pain and memories Severus didn't hear his chamber door open. "Severus, it's Lily" Lily called as she closed the chamber door behind her. Walking to the chair she kneels down in front of her friend and is filled with sadness. "Severus you must come up to the great hall and eat. Everyone is worried about you. Killing yourself will not bring Hermione back Sev. Please don't do this to yourself." Lily said reaching for Severus hand.

The light was beautiful; the vastness of open space was cold. The will was strong; the emptiness immense, it was swallowing what was left of her mind. The power was great, it radiates thru her body. She could feel, flying throw the stars, moments to most, but the vortexes of time it's been years for the girl. Lost, that's what grips her soul, she is lost, and she could feel the light dieing within. Soon there would be no girl just the entity. For all she has given up, for all she has lost, she knows has be gone to loss herself. Reaching out with her heart she whispers please. Power in gulfs her and throws her towards the earth and in the roar of power you hears on the wind as you wish.

It had taken Lily ten minutes to get Severus to his feet. As he glanced up into the night sky thru the window a ball of fire struck the ground in the forbidden forest. "Hermione" he whispered as he feels to the floor. Rushing to the fire place Lily throws in some floo powder and yelled for Madam Pomfrey. The castle was alive with hushed whispers as students watched there potions master being taken to the hospital wing, all fearing the worst. For Harry Potter he could feel Severus Snape dieing, he could feel emotion from Snape, could feel the empty loneliness and despair that has chipped away the potion master health since Hermione vanishing. Harry didn't tell anyone that he could feel this , how do you tell your parents and your best friend that your other best friend left some part of herself in you . There emotion became one, she feed off his rage, anger and fear, and now he could feel thru that bond they had shared , feel the despair of her other half. Death was coming for Snape and Harry would remember the feeling of his death pulling at him for the rest of his life.

"Come on Fang, what ever it was hit over there, Dumbledore will be wanting to know what it was." Hagrid called to his dog. The ground was covered in snow, but the closer Hagrid got to the thing that had fallen from the sky the ground became scorched. Getting closer he could see that the snow was black on the outer part but where the thing had landed was still white untouched. Moving closer Hagrid turned over the thing lying on the grown. "Dear Merlin it can't be" he whispered. "Help me please" the creature on the ground whispered. Reaching down Hagrid picked the creature up and headed back towards his hut. "You'll be alright now, your safe. " He whispered. Looking down at the person in his arms tears began to fall.
