Where have you been?-Valmon
The sun beating down on his face, Severus woke up, and realised the love of his life was still there in his arms, sleeping peacefully, the curls of her hair caressing her face. He wished he could stay like this, looking down on that face of innocence forever, but he knew it wasn't to be. He felt her distancing herself, moving towards Ron Weasley. He was clinging on and so far had prevailed but he knew the time would come when he would need to be stronger. He felt if he could show her a world of love now, before she got to far away, it would maybe keep her with him. He hoped.
A little shy of half an hour later, Severus climbed out of bed and proceeded to get dressed for the school day ahead. He left Hermione where she was, after all, she didn't have to be up until 10am and it was only 8am as it was. He smiled and then softly shut the door behind him, leaving for breakfast in the Great Hall, which Hermione was excused from due to her current business with the muggle killings and Lucius Malfoy. He hoped the muggle killings situation was done with soon, so he could spend more time with Hermione and she could spend less with Ron.
Hermione turned over and looked at her watch: 9:00am. She threw her legs out of bed and then the rest of her body followed. She frowned at herself in the mirror, remembering the dream she had had last night. It had started off peaceful enough, with her and Severus but then Ron had entered and the two men had began duelling. To Hermione, it was worrying, because it could be a sign of things to come. She hoped it wasn't but she knew what fiery tempers they both had, and how they hated each other. 'Ugh, why did have to happen to me?' she thought, quite frustrated. Last night with Severus had been wonderful, almost amazing but there was a little voice in her head that kept asking, 'What about Ron? Don't you ever imagine how things could be with him?' Hermione told the voices to shut up but she knew they wouldn't, no matter how many times she repeated those two words over and over again. The thing was, either way, somebody was going to get hurt. This was the last thing Hermione wanted and she knew she could cope if it was herself, if she didn't choose either one but it wasn't that simple. She knew she was in love with one of them, but didn't know which, and whoever that person was, she couldn't live without them. If only it wasn't so hard, or so confusing! She knew whos fault this was: Harry's. Well, she couldn't lay all the blame on him, but he had brought Ron back into her life, although thinking about it, it was inevitable. He would have returned into her life sometime. This was just sooner than expected. A lot sooner.
Arriving at Dumbledore's office, Hermione smoothed down her robes, flicked back her hair and knocked on the door. Curiosity had the better of her at the present moment and she was desperate to see what Ron's idea was.
"Come in," beckoned Dumbledore's voice, clear and welcoming, so she stepped forward, pushed the door open in order to find out what she was so desperate to know.
"Hello, Albus, Ron. I assume you have discussed your idea with Albus, Ron?" Hermione asked, politely but not cold as she had been the previous day.
"Yes, he has, Miss Granger and it is a wonderful idea! I assume the problem should be over within a week or two." Dumbledore smiled over his half moon spectacles and Hermione could have sworn he winked, as if to tell her he meant more than just the problem of Lucius Malfoy.
"Oh, right, thats wonderful," Hermione felt confused but decided to go with the flow of things. "So, anybody care to explain to me?" At that moment, there was a rap on the door, and Severus entered, causing Ron to narrow his eyes in intense dislike, as Severus shot a cold look of contempt in response.
"You called for me, Sir?" Snape's velvet voice asked, softly yet full of malice, directed at Ron.
"Yes, Severus. Please be seated. Ron is just going to explain his idea of how to catch Lucius Malfoy in the act." Dumbledore greeted Severus.
"Delighted," Replied Severus, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Please continue." He turned to smile at Hermione, who shot a fierce look at him, for his behaviour towards Ron.
"Well, I remembered Sirius had given Harry a mirror and told him if he wanted to see Sirius, to say his name and they would be able to talk via the mirrors," Ron reached into his bag, "Well, these came to me after Harry's death and I managed to obtain a further two, though you know how difficult it is," Ron looked a Snape triumphantly, " and when Hermione charms these six necklaces, we will be set." He placed the necklaces on Dumbledore's desk. Hermione picked one up, it was simply a gold disk with an initial engraved on it, for the person it belonged to.
"What exactly do we do though, Ron?" She asked him, still running her finger over the disk in her hand as she gazed around Dumbledore's office. It hadn't changed since her school days. There was still various pensieves on the shelves, Fawkes on his perch, several comfortable chairs and a collection of portraits, most of the inhabitants asleep, except for Phineas who was reading and Armando, who was too embarrassed to look at Snape and Hermione so had began to paint. Hermione always felt safe and welcome in this office, although she was rather annoyed at Ron and Severus for how they were acting.
"Well, what I propose is that we work out a rota for whoever is on the lookout at whatever time. See, these mirrors work one way too, so whoever is watching Malfoy, can basically say 'Lucius Malfoy' and can instantly see what he is up to, then we'll know if he is killing or up to illegal actions. When he is caught in the act, whoever is on duty holds their initial disk and says "alert all" and everybody else will feel an instant heat from their necklace, no matter where they are, and on the other side of the disk, the location of Malfoy will appear so we can all apparate to wherever Malfoy is." Ron finished.
"Thats a great idea!" Praised Hermione, but why are there six disks, and not just four on the table?"
"One for Tonks and one for Mad-eye Moody, in case we need auror backup," Ron supplied, "there's always that chance."
"I think we all understand," Dumbledore intervened, "that we all need to work together." He looked at Snape and then towards Ron. "I have taken the liberty of working a rota, and right now, Severus, you are on duty."
"Yes, Headmaster," said Severus.
"You are all free to go now," Dumbledore smiled at them. Ron turned to Hermione.
"Can I have a word?" He whispered. Hermione looked puzzled but agreed.
"Severus," She looked towards where he was waiting for her, "I'll catch you later, ok?"
"As you wish," he gazed at her, and left, but not before giving Ron a very spiteful look.
"Now, Ron," She led him down the stairs, " what did you want to talk about?"
