Severus looked up in fear as the rope burned through leaving only a thread supporting his weight. Beyond the rope the mother dragkey still threw out fire though never ventured far from the nest of young.
Unable to reach his wand the potion's master closed his eyes in silent prayer to whoever would listen.
As the final strand snapped his heart pumped the blood so fast it deafened him so he did not hear the slowing spell or the fire repellent spell.
When he softly landed on the sand which lay beneath the cliff from which he had just fallen he opened his eyes to see a slim feminine figure standing over him wand now lowered at her side and hand extended.
Accepting the offered hand he was soon on his feet again staring at his rescuer.
"I thought this was just a routine ingredient collection!" She stated an amused smirk spreading across her petite face. Severus glared at her in an attempt to make it disappear but only succeeded in making it grow to a wide grin.
Dusting himself off he growled, "It was!" Before walking in the direction of the cabin which was a little way up the beach. "I wasn't expecting the mother to return so early," he continued.
His companion nodded to herself before asking, "Was it a wasted trip?"
"Thankfully no!"
"Bueno!(1) Now let's get home. You have a meeting to get to and I have several books to finish before tonight!" Snape stopped walking and looked sharply at the Spanish girl.
"Meeting?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.
"Sí satisfaciendo!(2) The call from the order came through just after you left." Snape sucked in a large breath ready to ask who had answered the call but was cut off by and olive hand been raised.
"Millie answered! I am just passing on the message."
Snape breathed out a sigh of relief before looking intently into the eyes which were almost as dark as his own. "I best go," he said softly conveying his apology and thanks through his eyes. A nod from his companion showed that she understood.
"Buen cuidado de la suerte y de la toma Severus,(3)" she said before she turned. Severus muttered the words "I will" before apperating with a soft pop.
(1) - Good!
(2) - Yes meeting!
(3) - Good luck and take care Severus.
