Chapter 32

That night Severus and Hermione were lying on the couch together reading a book. Severus guilted Hermione into giving him a massage after she threw him twice - hard onto his arse. Of course, being the attentive lover he was he returned the favor. Hermione had planned on studying for N.E.W.T.s more but Harry, Ron and Severus convinced her not to. And she wasn't regretting her decision. The two were enjoying their solitude together with no worries.

"Bloody Hell!"

Hermione lurched up when Severus cursed, "What's wrong?"

"Voldemort," explained it all.

"But it's the middle of the week," whenever Severus had been called it was always Friday - Sunday nights.

"Something must have happened or he is planning something."

"Promise me if it is bad you'll apparate right back," demanded Hermione.

"I promise love. Better get Ms. Weasley though, Draco should be here in a minute."

Hermione said the charm to warn Ginny. When she was about to leave, knocking was heard on Severus' door. She knew who it was and opened the door to let him in. "Hi Draco."

"Oh hi Hermione, wasn't expecting you."

"No offense Draco but I wasn't looking forward to seeing you tonight either," Hermione muttered.

"None taken," he smirked.

"Be careful tonight. If it's too much, get back here."

Draco nodded.

Severus came out of his room with black cloak and silver mask, "See you in a little while Hermione. I told Dumbledore and you won't be getting an owl since he knows you are here."

"All right. Hurry back you guys," Hermione said as they left. Hermione hurried to go to her room and meet Ginny, she knew Ginny and Harry were trying to be alone tonight that was why she didn't even bother checking the common room or dorm before using the charm.

Ginny and Harry had been making out for a little while now and both were enjoying themselves immensely. They haven't had much alone time together with all the things going on around them. Harry had his studying for N.E.W.T.s and both had learning the advance lessons and their regular school work. Ginny had some how convinced him they should spend time in the tower and not alone too often - on the weekends. She didn't want to be at a point of no return and then be called by Hermione. That would be teasing Harry too much she thought, so she had agreed to more late nights during the week, to keep her weekends free at night. This was why Ginny was surprised when she felt her necklace heat up.

Ginny broke off the kiss and concentrated on the necklace.. yep it was heating up to notify her.

"They were called weren't they?" Harry asked softly.

"What?"

"Snape and Draco were called right?"

"Why do you say that?" Ginny faked ignorance but was worried she gave it away.

"Because I felt your necklace heat up. Ginny I know you help Draco and Snape with Hermione."

"But how? Wait! I don't have time. I have to meet Hermione. I'll talk to you later Harry," Ginny got up and rearranged her clothes to proper appearance.

"All right, let's go," Harry got ready himself. He wasn't mad at her, he was proud of her that she had helped Draco when he needed it. Harry had a few brief images of Snape and Draco being tortured. He noticed Ginny not fight with him like he and Ron did. Harry had figured Ginny helped Hermione with the guys. At first Harry was jealous but he knew his girlfriend and they trust and love each other. Harry didn't mind she kept it a secret since he had a few of his own and she was told not to tell most likely.

Harry put his invisibility cloak around both of them and headed back to Gryffindor Tower. They both were silent fearing someone would hear them if they talked. When they reached the tower they went directly to Hermione's room bypassing the Fat Lady portrait. Ginny whispered the password and soon stepped into the room.

"Ginny, I was starting to get worried," Hermione started then saw Harry under the cloak too.

"He knows. I didn't tell him though," Ginny rushed.

"It doesn't matter. Draco told me if you wanted to tell them it's fine. I was just waiting a few weeks making sure the guys wouldn't kill him. You're not mad are you Harry?" Hermione asked.

"No, I understand why you didn't tell me. Isn't it unusual for them to be called during the week though? Every time I dream of them it's on the weekends."

"Dreams? You still have those? I thought they stopped years ago," Hermione said.

"They came back but I kept it to myself. But about Snape and Draco why during the week?"

"I don't know. Snape was a bit worried too. Ginny we need to get down there," Hermione headed to the door.

"I'm coming too," Harry stated.

Hermione looked at Harry, "All right but stay under your cloak and go to the Entrance Hall and we'll meet you down there."

"How do you get down there?" Harry wondered.

"Dumbledore set something up for us," Hermione answered vaguely, he may know about Ginny helping but she wasn't going to break her promise to Dumbledore about the spell.

"How long will it take you?"

"Five minutes." Hermione said.

Harry nodded and left.

"Sorry, but we can't tell him about the spells, I promised Dumbledore," Hermione said to Ginny.

"I know, lets go."

Both girls put on the invisibility spell and left. Five minutes later they were in the Entrance Hall. Hermione hid behind a statute and took the spell off. "Harry, you here?"

His head appeared only, "Yea."

"Come over here with the cloak on do not take it off until I say so, promise?"

"Yes."

The three waited in silence. Before they expected though Severus and Draco came through the doors. Hermione and Ginny went to them but noticed they were fine. "What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Dumbledore's office," Severus said only.

~Harry's here, he figured out about Ginny.~

*Cloak?*

~Yes. Are you mad?~

*No love. It's fine,* Severus said. "Potter take the cloak off and follow us."

Harry took off the cloak and hurried to Ginny's side. Draco was surprised but so were Harry and Ginny that Severus knew without being told. "Professor how did you know I was here? No one told you."

"I just knew. Be ready Filch is coming."

The four students acted if they got caught and now were in trouble.

"Professor Snape, I see you caught some live ones tonight," Filch stated.

"Yes, now out of my way," Severus sneered.

"Have fun with them," Filch cackled after the students thinking they were in trouble.

"Fun is the last thing I'll be having tonight," Severus muttered so only Hermione heard.

~Severus please tell me what's going on?~

*Voldemort is going to attack on graduation.*



To Be Continued...

Nanja - Thank you for the review! I use to be like you never seeing SS/HG together than I read a few stories and became a true believer! I do have a problem messing up present and past tense in the story. I'm trying to be more careful in future stories but that area was never a strong suit for me in school.

Thank you everyone else for the reviews! I do read them... if any questions please ask in the review or email me I will answer! And I love all the reviews I am getting. I can't say how thrilled I am to read new reviews daily when I get home from work!
