Endless Night
***
Hermione shook her head as Severus again pleaded desperately with her for her to leave him and find Harry. That was of course because he knew that Harry would find him here soon, and he did not wish for Hermione to see her old childhood friend and husband, in such a horrifying state.
But still she would not leave him.
Severus had no idea that if this news was supposed to deeply touch him, or drive him mad in fear of what could happen if Hermione stayed with him.
Either way she would be brought to harm. Either by Potter when he arrived, or after when Voldermort took his body instead of Potter's as his own.
"Hermione, you have no idea what is going to happen if you stay here," Severus declared warningly, as soft brown eyes stared down at him with deep love. "Voldermort wants to use you in his plans. You must get away from here before Harry arrives."
"For the last time, Severus," She declared passionately, gazing down with blinding love in her eyes for him. "I'm not going anywhere without you. Now get the hell off of this bed, and lets go."
She began to force him into a sitting position, knowing there wasn't much time left like he said. Hermione also knew if Harry arrived threatening to kill them all, she wouldn't be able to stop him. There was no possible way she could attempt to kill him even in self defense. A large part of herself would die along with him. That innocent little witch that had deeply come to love Harry as family, as he took her in his heart as his friend when no one else would. He had even done so before Ron had.
No. She could never kill Harry.
Hermione successfully got Severus to stand up when the room casted dark.
They were no longer alone.
