Challengers of the Darkness
Chapter 4
Dreams and Nightmares
"Alright everyone. Don't forget about Thursday's meeting. We'll talk about what song we're going to play at Saturdays concert." said Ginny with a smile.
Hermione stood and transfigured her chair back into her outer robes. Snape pushed himself off the floor. Draco stood and helped Ginny up by taking her hand. They all waited for Harry and Ron to pull themselves out of the water, forgetting they where naked.
"You all can go," said Harry, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Fine," said Snape turned to leave but was stopped by a pair of arms around his shoulders.
"See ya tomorrow," came Hermione's voice from behind him. But before he could register that she just hugged him, the arms left and went to the others to hug them as well.
Snape sighed and walked out of the prefect's bathroom. He silently walked down the marble staircase and down to the staircase to the dungeons, but stopped when the sound of footsteps behind him came to his ears. Though they stopped when he stopped. He felt a draft lightly crawl over his nose.
His mind went blank and he felt numb. His limp body fell to the stone stairs, unconscious.
"Goodnight Ginny" said Draco. He hugged her and walked down the marble staircase. He walked to the doorway, which held the downward staircase leading to the dungeons. Though he noticed something, and he ran down them once he saw that it was a body on the last step.
Snape's P.O.V
There was a male voice as I opened my eyes to reveal The White Room.
("You don't remember me,
But I remember you.")
The door opened and the face of the councilor peered at me.
"You can talk to your friend now Severus." The councilor said harshly and held open the door, kind of like she was forcing herself too.
I sneered at her and scoffed. "My name's Snape lady. Get it right." I bound off to Tom's and my room, which we loved to play in when we wished to be alone.
("I lie awake and try so hard,
Not to think of you.
But who can decide what they dream
And dream I do...")
'The hell?' I whispered when I looked around and noticed Tom sitting in the corner, looking very melancholy.
"Hey, Tom, what's wrong?
("Have you forgotten all you know
And all we had?")
Tom just shook his head and looked sadder.
"Hey, it cant be that bad! Cheer up...Please?" I touched Tom's hand lightly and Tom looked up sharply at me in surprise. I on instinct withdrew my hand with a snap.
"No! Its okay...Its just...I didn't think you'd want to know..." Tom looked sad again and his head made a soft "Flumph" as it hit his knee when he put them up to hide his face. I went over and sat on my shins and touching his head lightly, bringing Tom's head up to look me in the eyes. Tom had tears streaming down his face and his breath was obviously being controlled.
"What's...wrong?" I asked forcefully.
"I've...Been adopted..." Tom's eyes grew small when I blinked and my face fell into a look as sad as Tom's.
"So...you...should be happy...and...don't worry about me. I'll be okay..." I sighed and closed my eyes, my hands—
("You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I thought you loved me then")
--moved to Tom's hands. Now it was Tom's turn to reach for my hands, which made them open and showed tears at the corner of my eyes, but wouldn't fall.
"Hey, don't worry, I'll write from the Riddle's house, okay?" He tilted his head and I nodded.
"But I don't know if they'll let the letter through...How will I get them?" I asked, not looking very happy.
"I'll have the postman deliver them right to you! The Riddle's are really rich, so I can do that." he smiled and leaned forward.
"But just between you and me, I'll make their life a livin hell for takin me away from my Severus..."
"Ginny! Hermione!" came Draco's voice from the bottom of the staircase. They turned and saw Draco running up the staircase behind them. From the way he was running they knew something was wrong. They started down the staircase tell they met with Draco, about halfway.
"Draco! What's the matter?" asked Ginny, her voice full of worry.
"Yes...But...Snape...Isn't..." gasped Draco. He held on the handrail for support as he tried to catch his breath.
"What do you mean?" asked Hermione.
Draco's head rose and looked at the girls.
"Follow me." he said, and he yet again began to run back down the staircase. Ginny and Hermione were not far behind.
Once Draco noticed that it was Snape's body, he had picked him up and carried him to the Hospital Wing. Which now he lead Ginny and Hermione to the entryway.
"Ginny. You and I will go find Harry and Ron," said Draco, once his breathing slowed. "Hermione, you go and watch Snape."
Ginny and Hermione nodded in unison. Hermione opened the doors as Draco and Ginny ran down the hall.
Hermione ran down the rows in between the beds till she found Snape's bed. She walked to stand next to the bed.
"Severus..."
"Your Severus?" I looked at him strangely and he nodded.
"Yes, mine." He smiled and clasped my hands tight.
("I'll give up everything just to find you, I have to be with you, to live, to breathe. I'm taking over you.")
Hermione reached for Snape's hands and leaned over him.
"Severus..."
I looked at him and smiled slightly, not realizing what was happening.
Tom smiled, but his smile looked much older, much more older and I blinked.
"Tom?" I asked confused.
Hermione leaned farther over Snape's body and smiled lightly.
'I wonder if he'll turn into a frog if I kiss him...' she thought to herself amusingly and leaned down to kiss him.
Suddenly I saw Tom's face contort into anger and his hands reached up and grasped my shoulders.
"Severus, promise me you'll never forget me. Even when you're older. Please!" he whispered forcefully and I just nodded numbly.
"Uh, sure Tom. I promise." I smiled and tilted my head cutely, to play, but what happened next shocked me. He leaned forward and captured my lips in a warm kiss that made my heart skip a beat. I looked at him in amazement and watched him deepen the kiss by closing his eyes and licking my lips, seeking entrance.
I opened my mouth a bit wider to say something but his tongue snaked into my mouth and flirted with mine. Against my will, I responded by closing my own eyes and my tongue flirted back playfully. We both wrapped our arms around each other and Tom dug his nails into my back. I gasped and my eyes shot open as I woke up. (AN: Soooooo mean to my readers! Muahahaha!)
(Co. AN: points and giggles at the readers Tee Hee, she is so mean to you people, kee hee hee...)
Hermione captured Snape's lips in a sweet but short kiss, smiling and was about to giggle when Snape's eyes shot open in surprise and was about to force away the intruder, but when he saw it was Hermione, he sighed and raised his hand to her head and pressed up with his own.
Her reaction didn't surprise him. She pulled away; looking horrified that she'd been caught. (AN: Naughty naughty! You'll get caughty!) He just lay there, on his elbows as the others rushed in to see if he was okay, leaving Hermione to think of what had just happened.
(TBC)
Well then! Wasn't that...steamy? So, more chapters to come if you guys review! You know you love it. So, yeah. Have fun with the next chapter. We still have to wire it, but we got 4 of them done in about a day! But we had to sleep. Though I must thank the Quextal, the thing in my Co. Authors head. Thanks Damian! Little thing in Co. Authors head bows Heh, good idea maker. Though some of the ideas went downhill, and no I don't mean we had to get rid of them... coughgutter cough Damnit! Stop controlling the keyboard! Grr... goes to beat Co. Author with monitor again
(Co. AN: smiled over her shoulder...Snape had to share his first kiss!!!!!!! Buwhahaha! Laughs and pouts, muttering something under her breath while running)
