"SEVERUS!" The door of the 6th's year dormitory flew open once again. Dumbledore, followed by Professor McGonagall strode into the room. Harry was lying motionless on the floor. Snape was stood over him, his black eyes no longer empty and cold but full or menacing rage.

"Severus, what have you done?!" gasped McGonagall, crouching by Harry.

"What that little bastard deserved" answered Snape quietly.

"What did he do Severus?" questioned Dumbledore seriously.

"Ask him yourself. If he ever wakes up...If he does..." Snape spat and left.

"Albus, aren't you going to stop him?" McGonagall got to her feet.

"I think Severus had a reason for this Minerva"

"A reason for attacking a student...attacking Harry Potter?"

"I believe so, yes", Dumbledore pointed his wand at Harry,

"Enervate! Now if you could leave Mr Potter and I alone Minerva" No sooner had she left, Dumbledore morphed into a skinny figure with curly pink hair.

"Tonks!" gasped Harry,

"What are you doing here?"

"Saving your skin, Harry! Dumbledore is at the Ministry, trying to stop Snape from being arrested"

"WHY?! He attacked me! I'm surprised I'm not dead!"

"Dumbledore knows what you did Harry"

"What do you mean 'what I did'?"

"What you did to Hermione..."

"WHAT?! How the hell does he know? She...she-"

"Harry, Hermione told Snape-" "Snape?!"

"Anyway, Snape told Dumbledore and came here..."

"But why did he attack me? He hates Hermione!"

"I don't know Harry...Dumbledore is very disappointed in you Harry" Harry lowered his gaze to the floor,

"Why did you do it?"

"That bitch thinks she can get away with this! She told Ginny she loved me!" Harry was staring at Tonks. He raised his wand.

"STUPEFY!" Tonks slammed into Dean's bed and lay still. Harry sprinted to the door and threw it open. He rammed into various people as he tanked through the common room.

"What's going on, Harry?" Ron caught up with Harry at the portrait hole.

"Get away from me!" snapped Harry. He pushed Ron away and stepped throw the hole.

Hermione was perched on the edge of Snape's bed. She fidgeted uncomfortably. She hugged her knees and pulled one of Snape's fur cloaks around her. She heard someone entering the teachers common room below.

"Where's Severus?" asked a muffled voice.

"He's attacked Potter" answered Professor McGonagall's voice,

"Dumbledore's talking to him now"

"Dumbledore...he got called to the Ministry" piped up what Hermione could distinguish as Professor Flitwick's voice.

"Potter, what are you doing in here-"started one voice. But they were silenced by a loud voice shouting a curse. The voice shouted many more times until the whole room was completely quiet. Hermione got up, shaking violently. The door of the room opened slowly.

"Hello Hermione" greeted Harry in a slow voice.

"Harry, I-"

"Thought you'd come crying to Snape, eh?" Harry advanced towards her. She took a step back.

"Harry, please!"

"Why Snape? Why did you have to tell him? Why not Dumbledore or McGonagall?"

"I just thought-"

"Thought what? You'd get someone that hated me to finish me off?"

"I-"

"He nearly killed me? Why couldn't you just keep quiet and forget about it? Why did you tell him?"

"Because...I love him, Harry" replied Hermione quietly. Harry nearly dropped his wand.

"Are you taking the piss?"

"No...me and him-"

"That's why your bra strap was halfway down your shoulder?"

"How do you know about that?"

"Ginny told me! She said you liked me...She said you told her that you and me had just-"

"I only told her that because I didn't want to tell her it was Severus"

"Severus?! You're sick!...He's sick! You're a freak"

"What the hell is up with you Harry? You've gone insane! You're a psycho! GET AWAY FROM ME! Just fuck off!"

"You're the psycho! Erghhhh...I kissed you and...touched you after you'd been with him....that's sick! That's REALLY sick!"

"I didn't want to kiss you! You raped me!"

"I'm getting that bastard fired, arrested! I'm going to ruin your pathetic little life Hermione! And his too! I told you if you told anyone you wouldn't survive the term"

"Harry NO!"

"Just wait until the teachers and the rest of the school hears!"

"NO HARRY, NO! If you care about me at all...don't" She got onto her knees and begged pulling at Harry's robe.

"Get off me! I don't want his germs on me!" Harry threw her off and disappeared down the staircase...
