Severus was out of the Hospital Wing the next morning. He came to Hermione with a solemn expression on his face.

"I am leaving. I'm not coming back until I have her safely in my arms, I promise that I will come back to you alive." said Severus cupping her cheek and kissed her passionately. Hermione watched him leave, tears falling down her face, hoping and praying that he and her daughter would both come home alive. Hermione wiped away her tears and left their chambers to inform the Headmaster of Severus' doings.

Upon entering the room Severus looked around, he could smell blood, fresh blood. He hoped that it wasn't from who he thought it might be from. He heard a cry of an infant in the next room. Boiling rage coursed through Severus and he slammed the door open.

Alexandria was on the floor being flicked in the face by Malfoy Sr.

"Ah, Severus, so good to see you." he said.

"Malfoy, you are gonna die." said Severus.

"Oh, really old-"

"Avada Kedavra!" yelled Severus and Malfoy dropped to the ground. Severus strode over to his daughter and almost threw-up at the sight of her mangled body, it surprised him that she was still alive. Carefully picking her up he conjured a blanket and wrapped her in it and left the dreaded place and back to Hogwarts.
