Ron walked slowly to Snape's classroom. When he finally came to the door, he sighed. He had planned to go to Dumbledore first, but then remembered that he didn't know where it was until he was in the main hall. So he figured that he would just go the Snape, and have him go get McGonagall and Dumbledore. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Snape threw the door open and glared at Ron.
"What do you want?" he sneered.
Ron tried to stay calm, even though there was that normal urge to hit Snape right in the face, but he knew it wouldn't be a good time to do that.
"Sade's in the hospital wing with Malfoy, Harry and Hermione. She was attacked by her uncle last night." He waited to see Snape's reaction to the news before continuing. He was shocked slightly to see a look of fear and worry come across Snape's face.
"Voldemort attacked her, how do you know this?!" growled Snape.
"Well, if you were in a relationship, surely you had sex with her at some point. You must have seen the Dark Mark on her chest," Ron replied, his eyebrow raised.
Snape was a little taken aback. "No, I never saw it, it must be like…Never mind, have you told Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore yet about this?"
"No, I don't know where The Headmaster's rooms are, and I thought it best that you tell Professor McGonagall, and I need to get back to the hospital wing anyway."
"Fine, I'll go tell them." Snape wafted past Ron and quickly walked up the stairs.
Ron sighed in relief. 'Well, at least that part's over. I wonder if I should get some food for the four of us?' Ron began to walk tot the secret entrance to the kitchen when he realized that he had counted Draco in, and shrugged. 'I might as well. He's with Sade.' He sighed again. 'Why does my life have to be soo difficult?'
**********************************************************************
Snape ran through the corridors to Dumbledore's office. He had already told McGonagall and she was on here way to the hospital wing. McGonagall had offered to go to tell the Headmaster herself, but Snape had declined quickly saying that he wanted to tell the Headmaster himself. In truth, he was only stalling, trying to get his head straight.
'I hope she's alright!'
He slowed his pace since he had gotten to the correct corridor for Dumbledore's rooms.
'But why should I care so much. She broke up with me for Merlin's sake.'
/But you still love her don't you?/
*Sigh*
'Yes, and she needs to stay alive, because she's the only one that can save us from Voldemort.'
Snape had reached the entrance to Dumbledore's rooms when the statue moved on it's own before Snape could say anything and Dumbledore came running out and almost crashed right into Snape.
"Sorry Severus, I'm not used to running so quickly," Dumbledore replied shakily. "You're here about Miss Riddle I'm sure, but I already know. Poppy just told me, so come along."
Dumbledore didn't wait to see if Snape would follow him as he rushed off towards the hospital wing. Snape sighed and rushed after him. When he finally caught up, Snape pulled on Dumbledore's arm to slow him down.
"Relax Headmaster, I'm sure Riddle's alright. What did Poppy tell you?"
"She said that Sade is sleeping at the moment. She said that Ron went to get you so I'm sure you know who's with her at the moment. Mr. Malfoy was the one that found her, though she was not sure why he would be up there, so I'll be asking him about that."
Dumbledore stopped. "Severus, you were in a relationship with Miss Riddle correct?" he asked, half smiling.
Snape took a deep breath before replying. "Yes, I was," he replied slowly.
"Poppy said that Sade has a Dark Mark on her chest. Why did you not tell me about it?"
"The Mark must be like the others. It only shows when Voldemort wants it to show, for his followers to be called to him. I'm guessing that he wanted to make sure that Riddle would be an automatic follower," he said with a sneer. "Boy was he wrong. She's his most powerful enemy, especially with Potter as her cousin, and now Malfoy is with her. For a long while now, I noticed that she would be writing to some secret person. I tried to see what she was writing at first, because I was worried that it might be some of Voldemort's magic, but I also took notice to how Malfoy was acting around her, and I realised that it must be him she's been writing to without even knowing it. They must have agreed to meet last night and that's how Malfoy found her. He must have seen the Dark Mark and told the others."
"This is definitely a turn about for her "dear" uncle. He lost a very powerful ally to his enemies, and I doubt he'll get Malfoy back."
They had reached the hospital wing door.
"Are you ready, Severus?" Dumbledore asked quietly with a soft smile on his face?
"Yes, of course I am," replied Snape proudly, rising up to his full height.
Dumbledore nodded and opened the door quietly.
