A/N: m and duck claim that chapters 12-13 have been getting boring! They want excitement? Well, I'm going to write a chapter 14 to rock everyone's socks! Enjoy!
It was the day that people were leaving for Christmas break. The train was about to leave soon, yet Hermione was still asleep.
"HERMIONE!!!! WAKE UP!!!!" Ginny said, shaking Hermione awake.
"W…..What? Why?" Hermione asked groggily.
"You're going to miss the train! It leaves in fifteen minutes and you haven't even started packing!" Ginny yelled, pulling her out of bed.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I've decided to stay here for Christmas, I've got some things that I'd like to do here," Hermione explained.
"But…..But what could you want to do here?" Ginny asked sadly.
"Oh you know, this and that. Besides, without me there, you'll have more time to spend with Harry," Hermione pointed out.
"Oh, I get it, you want to spend time with Snape!" Ginny sad, her frown turning into a smirk.
"Well, that is the general idea, so have a nice Christmas, Ginny," Hermione said grinning.
"Okay, but you be careful, most of the Slytherins are still here, but have fun," Ginny said, hugging Hermione and walking away.
Hermione spent most of the day reading, she hadn't planned to meet Severus until the evening. She intended to spend any time away from Severus inside the Gryffindor towers. She did want to avoid the Slytherins. Just then, an owl flew in an open window, and hit Hermione right in the face.
'That was odd, it seems to be in perfect condition, yet it hit me,' Hermione thought. She noticed that there was a red envelope in it's beak. "A howler," she whispered. 'Who would send me a howler?' she wondered. Just as she was about to open it, it exploded.
Then a high, loud, cold voice said, "STICK TO YOUR OWN KIND, MUDBLOOD!" then it burst into flames. Just then it hit Hermione, the owl had been told to hit her in the face.
'Who could it have been? It didn't sound like a student. But it could have been a voice modifying charm……" she thought. Then a she recognized the owl as it was flying away, she was able to classify it as a black eagle owl. "Malfoy" she said loudly. Whether it was Draco or Lucious she couldn't say, but she knew it was a Malfoy. It was just about time for dinner, so Hermione started walking down to the Great Hall. She noticed that all the students were seated at one table. Then she saw an empty seat next to Severus, she quickly went down to sit with him. He kissed her on the cheek, and they started their supper.
Towards the end of their meal, Dumbledore came over and asked, "Miss Granger, when Mr. Malfoy attacked you, did he state a reason?"
"Er….yes, he wanted to get some information from me," she said, hoping to avoid identifying what information.
"What information exactly?" Dumbledore asked, a puzzled look on his face.
"Er……." Hermione began nervously.
"Don't worry about it, you can tell me anything," Dumbledore assured her.
"Whether or not…….Whether or not Severus…" She began.
"Professor Snape," Dumbledore corrected.
"Right, whether or not Professor Snape and I were…..d-dating," Hermione began nervously.
"I see, and it's common knowledge that you are, so tell, did he ever get the information from you?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, sir he did," Hermione said, tears coming to her eyes.
"I see, well, I'm sorry to say this, but you are going to have to employ extreme caution when walking around the school. I would suggest always remaining with another pupil," Dumbledore told her.
"I'll be able to do it, Albus," Snape said, looking at Hermione.
"Thank you, Severus," Dumbledore said and walked away.
"Shall we walk down to the my office, then?" Snape offered.
"Though you'd never ask!" Hermione replied, forcing a smile.
They got up out of their seats and walked out of the Great Hall. Snape had just taken Hermione's hand when she gasped.
"What is it?" Snape asked concernedly. She didn't answer, she was just looking over to the doors to the school, with her hand over her mouth. Snape had looked over to where she was looking and he too gasped.
On the wall, in what appeared to be blood was written, "THE MUDBLOOD GRANGER, ENEMY TO ALL WIZARD KIND, AND SEVERUS SNAPE, DISGRACE TO THE NAME OF WIZARD, BEWARE, YOUR DEMISE IS NEAR!"
Hermione almost fainted. She began to fall over, but Snape had caught her just in time.
"Who's doing this, Severus?" Hermione asked.
"That's a very good question, Miss Granger, one which I personally intend to find the answer to," Dumbledore said, and walked away.
"Wait! Professor Dumbledore, there's something else too….." Hermione explained.
"What is it?" Dumbledore asked concernedly. Snape turned to look at her, his eyes full of concern as well. Hermione explained to them about the howler.
"Did you recognize the owl?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, I'm almost certain it was Malfoy's owl," Hermione stated. "But whether or it was Draco's or Lucious's voice, I couldn't say,"
"Well, they left together, I guess that means it's time we got ready for our spying," Lavender said excitedly back in the Great Hall.
Lavender and Parviti pointed their wands at each other and yelled "Dillusionment!" in unison, and soon, both girls were human chameleons, virtually impossible to be noticed. They walked out into the foyer and noticed the what was written on the wall, and Hermione in Snape's arms. Dumbledore was walking back upstairs.
"Oh God," Lavender gasped
"Who would do such a thing?" Parviti asked.
"Well, either a Slytherin or a Death Eater, who broke into the school," Lavender declared.
"Whoever it is, it's our duty to find out who it is and defeat them! The fate of Snape and Hermione rests in our hands!" Parviti declared bravely.
"Well, we better get down to Snape's office, and keep an eye out for anything suspicious!" Lavender said, heading over to the staircase.
Snape and Hermione were already in there.
"Rest a while, you've had a scary day," Snape said, rubbing Hermione's back.
"No, no, I'm not going to let something so ridiculous interfere with our night," Hermione said firmly.
"Are you sure?" Snape asked.
"I'm positive," Hermione said and kissed Snape on the cheek. Before she was able to bring her head all the way back, Snape put his hand over Hermione's cheek, and pulled her into a deep kiss.
"Who ever knew that Snape could be so romantic?" Lavender asked from out in the hall.
Snape began to take off Hermione robes, and Hermione did the same to him. Snape began to kiss every inch of her skin, as it was revealed.
"See father, I told you!" an invisible voice yelled.
"Parviti? Was that you?" Lavender asked nervously.
"No, I thought it was you," Parviti said, her voice shaking.
"I don't think we're alone, Parviti," Lavender suggested.
"Who's there?" a deeper voice called.
"We might ask you the same question!" Lavender said trying to sound brave, though her voice was shaking.
"I'll see who it is, Lavender. Finite!" Parviti yelled, pointing her wand in a random direction. Nothing happened.
"Together!" Lavender yelled.
"FINITE!!!" both girls yelled in unison. Lavender was the one who hit a person. A tall man, with the same whitish blond hair as Draco Malfoy appeared. It was Lucious Malfoy.
"FINITE!!!" Parviti yelled again, this time, revealing Draco Malfoy.
"Bravo, girls, you've discovered us, now what do you intend to do?" Lucious asked, smirking.
"FINITE!!!" Lucious and Draci yelled in unison, they didn't have to shoot twice, Lavender and Parviti were made visible again.
"YOU!!!" Lavender yelled.
"Us indeed, my dear girl," Lucious said.
"What are you doing here?" Parviti spat.
"Grown up matters don't concern little girls, go play with a doll or something," Draco mocked.
"STUPEFY!" Lavender yelled, aiming her wand at Draco.
"PROTEGO!" Draco yelled, just before the spell hit him. Lavender's spell bounced right off of him, and hit Lavender in the chest, forcing her to the ground.
"One girl down, one to go!" Lucious laughed.
"You know, as soon as you leave, we are going to go report you both to Professor Dumbledore!" Parviti snarled.
"Dumbledore? Ha! That old bat? He couldn't keep me out of Azkaban, he couldn't keep me from killing Ollivander and stealing wands, and he won't keep me from taking the lives of both you and your pathetic friend here!" Lucious laughed. Lavender was just getting to her feet.
"Not so fast, Brown, CRUCIO!!!" Draco yelled. Lavender fell back down in pain.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!" Parviti yelled.
"Just as soon as she screams!" Draco said.
"NEVER!!!" Lavender yelled out, immediately regretting it, as it caused her to cringe in pain.
"What's going on outside?" Hermione asked reluctantly, lying on the ground next to Snape, who was yet again spreading kisses all over her body.
"Oh, nothing major I would assume, students hold their duels here all the time," Snape explained simply, and went right back to his work.
"I love you," Hermione moaned.
"I love you too," Snape said, pressing his lips against hers.
"Lavender, just scream! It's not worth it!" Parviti said crying.
"Yes it is!" Lavender said, again cringing in pain.
"TARENTELLEGRA!!!" Parviti yelled, pointing her wand at Draco. It was the only spell she could think of, but it worked. Lavender was freed from his spell, and slowly got up. Draco's feet were going crazy.
"Finite!" Lucious yelled, pointing his wand at his son, Parviti's spell was stopped.
"Avada Kedavra!" Draco yelled, pointing his wand at Parviti. She immediately fell to the ground.
"NO!!!!!!" Lavender cried, kneeling down next to her best friend's body. She got up, hatred was in her eyes. "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!!" she yelled, Lucious Malfoy fell to the ground, stiff as a board.
"Fin…." Draco began, but his wand had flown out of his hand because of a disarming spell Lavender had just used.
"Not so fast, Malfoy. REDUCTO!!!" Lavender yelled, pointing he wand at Draco's knee. There was a huge smashing sound. Lavender had smashed Draco's knee. "DIFFINDO!" she yelled, pointing her wand at Draco's, it was immediately cut in two separate pieces.
Back in Snape's office……
"Severus, are you sure there's nothing going on out there?" Hermione asked again.
"If it would make you feel better, we could go check," Snape said, kissing her hand.
"Thank you," she said.
"Anything, for you," he said smiling. He waved his wand, and they were both fully clothed again. They got up and began walking to the door.
Parviti had gotten up. She was alive! She looked around for her wand, it wasn't there.
Draco must've used some type of wandless magic, because he had Parviti's wand in his wand, he was sitting next to his petrified father, blood was virtually flooding out of his knee.
"Finite!" Draco yelled, pointing Parviti's wand at Lucious. He had gotten up and immediately looked over to Parviti.
"Foolish boy! You obviously can't even operate a killing curse correctly!" Lucious spat.
"What did I do wrong?" Draco asked confusedly.
"You have to want to kill her, you have to focus all your hatred at her! You obviously didn't!" Lucious snarled. Parviti got up. "Where do you think you're going little girl?" Lucious asked mockingly. Parviti didn't answer. She just walked over to Draco and she kicked him! Right in his manhood. He yelled in pain and let threw Parviti's wand. She caught it.
"Get out!" Parviti screamed.
"Like we're afraid of a little girl!" Lucious laughed. His wand at the ready.
"Are you afraid of me?" Dumbledore asked, walking down the stairs, Lavender at his heels.
"What about me?" Snape asked, walking out of his room. Hermione was right behind him and gasped at what was happening around her.
"I fear no one but the Dark Lord!" Lucious said firmly. "Speaking of which, you should fear him too, after he finds out what you've been doing with this filthy little mudblood!" Lucious said to Snape. Then Lucious nudged Draco.
"IMPEDIMENTA!!" they yelled in unison. Draco had frozen Snape and Lucious had frozen Dumbledore.
"Lets get out of here!" Lucious commanded. They both ran up the stairs. "Oh, and Dumbledore, don't worry about my son's broken wand, I daresay we have enough to last us quite a while!" Lucious said and laughed until he reached the door. Snape and Dumbledore were able to move again, and they both ran for the door. They were outside just in time to see Draco and Lucious fly away.
"What happened?" Hermione asked as Snape and Dumbledore walked back in. Lavender and Parviti were right behind her.
"They flew away," Snape said bitterly. They all sighed.
"Fifty points will be awarded to both Miss Patil and Miss Brown for their outstanding courage!" Dumbledore said, trying to force the conversation into a happier direction.
"Yes, thank you, but how did you know they were there?" Hermione asked.
Parviti gulped. "Well, ever since Lavender and I told you that you and Snape would make a good couple, we've been following you to see if anything would come of our prediction," Parviti explained.
"How could you ever do that without getting caught?" Snape asked suspiciously.
"Dillusionment Charm," Lavender confessed.
"Well, thank you, you could've very well saved our lives while sacrificing your own," Snape said.
"I suggest you all go to bed, girls. Use the utmost caution on your way upstairs though," Dumbledore said, ushering the girls upstairs. Hermione and Snape kissed each other good night and went their separate ways.
They made it up to the second floor when they were stopped by a Slytherin boy. "Well, well, well, it seems as though the Malfoys' plans were foiled again, because of two Gryffindors," Blaise Zabini said.
"Get out of here, Blaise!" Parviti yelled.
"Someone has a bit of a temper, tut, tut, that won't do," Blaise said, seizing Parviti by the arm.
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" Hermione yelled, Blaise hand was removed from Parviti's arm and he became stiff as a board.
"We're totally just going to leave him here, right?" Lavender asked.
"You bet!" Hermione said happily, leading the way further upstairs.
