Ch.6

He was walking through the woods. There were giant trees and he felt like he was going in circles. He started running faster and faster and there he reached something a door. Though he felt it was too late but too late for what? He opened the door and she was there dead! There was Blood all over the place and there was a knife and wand in her hand. He walked over to her and touched her she was cold. "NO!" he screamed out and then people were yelling, "Die Mudblood! Die mud-blood! Die mud-blood!"

"NO! Who is screaming this! Who did this?" He was yelling then he saw Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Neville "It's nothing, she'll be fine just a stupid Hermione thing she'll get over whatever it is." They were all saying

"No Potter! Weasley! Longbottom! Someone help she's dead Hermione dead do something!"

"She will be fine!" Harry was saying ignoring him.

"How!" He was yelling. Then he was being pushed away from there. He saw Dumbledore and heard voices.

"We never saw it coming." "Such brilliance wasted" "Herr Hermione No!" "Stupid Mudblood"

"NO!" Draco yelled sitting up from his bed covered in sweat. It was just a dream just a dream. *No big just a dream *, Draco thought taking some water from his bedside. *Then why am I so scared? * Draco didn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. Then an owl came to his window. He opened it up and the owl dropped a letter. It was from his dad.

Dear Draco,

I have gotten news about 2 new American girls. Please write back with any information and in our code. The dark lord has plans and of course as your allegiance is to him you shall assist.

Your Father Lucias Malfoy

*Why does he want to know about the American girls? I will have to tell him. Disobedience is harsh and I shall not ever do it again. He probably is just wondering nothing big." Draco wrote a letter back to his dad

Dear Father

These girls are American and one Max in Slytherin the other D in Gryffindor. One is dating Potter while the other is a friend of his. Dumbledore has been trying to show them as an example of Slytherin and Gryffindor getting along. Potter seems closer to them as he does to his other friends. They are both interesting. D very sweet but strong while Max is tough and fun but sometimes doesn't know her own limits. That is all I know if you need any more information father just ask. And may I ask what is this information for?

Truly, Your Son Draco

Draco gave the letter to the owl waiting and laid back down thinking about the dream.

The next morning he headed off to breakfast though he wasn't so hungry. Christmas was coming by soon and he didn't want to go home. With just his mom. So he decided this year to stay at Hogwarts.

*Gryffindor Table *

"So Harry what's the schedule for today?" D asked smiling.

"What? O umm after breakfast we have History of Magic with Slytherins, Herbology with Ravenclaw, Then nothing until lunch then after lunch is Divination with Hufflepuff and Potions with Slytherins."

"Nice." D said and went to give him a sweet morning kiss.

"This food is great right?" he said quickly

"Yeah its fine." D said confused. "Harry can I talk to you alone for a minuet?" D said and grabbed him into a corner "What's is wrong?"

"Nothing" Harry said

"You are a bad lair don't nothing me what is it?" She said. "Tell me now!" She demanded

"Fine, look we did a memory charm where we took a eye lash and can see your memories. Ron and I just wanted to see in case of any danger because we have a ton of enemies though I knew you were not one of them," Harry said going really fast "and we went into the memory of the night of Max and you and the heroine. We didn't mean to we have never done that spell before."

"So you invaded my Privacy!" D started getting louder "and you betrayed me when you could of just asked me! You completely disrespected me and violated my mind!" Then D slapped him hard and walked out of the dining hall. Then Harry ran after her.

"What happened there?" Ginny said "I think she knows Harry saw her memories." Ron said

"O bad move." Ginny said

"Hermione," Max said and Ron and Ginny turned around seeing her there.

"Hey Max what's up?" Hermione asked

"Yo you into ditching with me after breakfast? I have some boring class's plus I talked to our teachers and convinced them were sick so no worried. You in?"

"Yeah sure. Let's go" Hermione said grabbing a last bacon strip.

"Hermione!" Ron said but Hermione just gave him a look and turned back to max.

"Did you eat yet max?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah I'm stuffed I ate like a pig" Max said completely lying. "Let's go," max said leaving with her. "Where you feel like going?"

"I don't know where do you feel like heading?"

"Where ever you want." Max said " And Draco will be joining us alter he said he had some test so he would find us later."

"All right, so how about we go to." Hermione stood there thinking. "O how about Hogsmeade I know where there is a secret entrance."

"What is Hogsmeade?" Max asked

"Great place! You will love it!" Hermione said.

"All right one second I am going to run to Draco and let him know." Max said

"All right." Hermione said as Max ran off and Hermione waited outside. Then She heard Yelling going on at the other side of the staircase.

"D, D! Will you wait I am so sorry. I shouldn't have but I felt like I couldn't understand you like you hide. I am giving you my heart and I am scared to because the last person I loved died and I am scarred to loose someone else. Everyone all ways says how brave I am and how much courage I have but I am terrified. I have to fight off a great evil lord because I am the only one who can kill him I have to live up to a prophecy and everyone I love gets hurt or dies."

"I understand but you violated me! You really hurt me and I am sorry but I can't forgive you. You know something my friend once told me. For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.' Now I understand them clearly and I feel sorry about what might have been with us. But now thing will ever be." Harry stood there and starred at her. He had made the biggest mistake of his life and he couldn't handle it. D walked away and left.

"Harry," Hermione said. "I am so sorry."

"You are sorry! You don't even care about me! You just told the spell without thinking! You haven't even been talking to me! Just skipping class with Max and being a bitch to everyone. You are no friend so don't act like one now!" Harry said. Hermione couldn't believe it and he was right she was no friend to anyone. Her friend died her parents are getting divorced she is nothing. She ran upstairs.

Harry realized what he had done. Taken out his anger on Hermione and she was just trying o help! He would find her and apologize.

"Where is Hermione?" Max asked as she walked out

"We had a fight I was upset. I yelled at her and I was an idiot. I really upset her." Harry said.

"We should find her so we can head off." Draco said

"No we have to find her now!" Max yelled

"Why?" Harry said

"Bad feeling trust me! We have to find her." Max said running up the stairs Draco following her. Harry ran into the dining hall to everyone.

"Ginny, Ron, D please we have to find Hermione now." Harry said

"What is it?" D said

"I got upset with her and yelled at her but she was upset already and Max says she has a bad feeling a bad vibe." Harry said

"So its just Max's feeling? Hermione probably fine." Ron said.

"Last time max had a bad vibe we found the person dead." D said and Ron and Ginny looked terrified.

"She went upstairs Ron, Ginny and D go! I'll tell a Professor."

"No," Ginny said, "You go after Hermione I will go to a teacher." Ginny ran to the teachers Table. "Yes, Ms. Weasley?" Dumbledore asked

"Its Hermione! She is in danger. She was really upset and Max thinks she is in serious danger." Ginny said quickly. Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore stood up.

"Then we must look for her." Dumbledore said looking worried. He gave a serious look to Prof. M and they left the dining room.

Harry, Ron, Draco, Max, and D were all looking for Hermione and screaming her name. Then D screamed so loud and everyone rushed to her. They all stood there at the entrance of moaning myrtles bathroom and found Hermione. Harry felt he had stopped breathing and Ron fell on his knees. Max ran to Hermione and sat on the floor and held her up in her arms. Everything seemed so slow Ginny running in with professors and Ron running to the nurse.

"Hermione, No!" Max whispered holding her. She had a knife in her hand and she had slit her wrists and throat. Harry looked at her and couldn't breathe. He loved her she was like a sister to him. He didn't know what to do. He felt like a idiot just standing there. He ran next to Max.

"What happened?" He called out as Dumbledore was trying to heal her.

"What do you think?" Max yelled, "She killed herself! You guys were her friends you should've noticed her behavior." Max said

"Why isn't she healing?" D said crying.

"When one inflicts pain or death on themselves no healing charm can help. Some potions very rare may be able to." Dumbledore said looking at her.

"No!" Max called out.

"This can't be!" Ron called out. The nurse showed up looking horrified and she shook her head nothing could be done.

Max stood up and walked to D. "D now you are strong! You live your life and you forgive Harry. Bad things happen and people make mistakes. I do not know if I am strong enough but she isn't and she has friend and family. If you judge people, you have no time to love them. Don't be afraid or loving and leaving because of loss. Because it is better to love and loose to never love and never live. Live for me" Max whispered. She kissed D on the forehead and went to Hermione. D knew what she was going to do but she just turned around and cried.

Max put her hands over Hermione and on her heart she starting it to beat again from the power of her heart. She took her cuts to herself and healed her she changed skin cells and Hermione was alive. Max lay there dieing. Dumbledore cleared everyone out and put the two girls in the hospital room. Hermione awoke 4 hours after. She looked around and realized she wasn't dead.

"Ron she is awake!" Harry yelled and Ron ran to her. "Hermione are you ok?"

"No, why how did you bring me back? Why did you?" Hermione said crying

"We love you Hermione I was just upset and I didn't mean to drive you to this." Harry said.

"Yeah, what happened?" Ron asked. Hermione knew I was time to tell them all. She began about her friend who had passed away and her parents divorce.

"We are so sorry we should have noticed!" Harry said

"There is one more thing. I have been hiding it by doing this." Hermione lifted her sleeves and there were ct marks everywhere. Some just scars others fresh. There was on every part of her arm all the way up to her shoulder.

"O Hermione." Harry said holding her arm and looking at the cuts. "Shhh. It's ok it's ok." Harry said as she cried. Ron and Harry explained what had been happening with them. Hermione realized she missed a lot while being depressed. Then when she heard about Max she looked at the bed next to her. She saw Max lying there with some machines connected to her. They were not like in the hospital because they were all shooting lights at her.

"Will she be ok?" Hermione asked D who was sitting there holding Max's hand.

"They do not know." D said. "She better be. I need you Max I need you I am not ready to loose you." D whispered holding Max's hands and looking at her.

Hermione was better by the evening and Dumbledore had set up a meeting to talk to her next morning after some rest. She went back with Harry, Ron, and Ginny. They took and they all sat on the couches in the common room. It was about 2 in the morning when D walked in. She had been kicked out because they were going to work more on Max. She just sat there. Then she got p and walked to Harry she kissed him on the forehead and sat on his lap. She just needed him to hold her and he understood.

"She will be all right." Ginny said in her soft voice though it was much colder. She was year 5 and much older and everyday she felt she was 5 years older.

D turned to her and looked at her. She knew Max would be all right but knew everything would be different. "I know." D said as she got up. "I need some air."

"I'll come with you." Harry said but in an asking tone.

"All right." She said

"You want us to come?" Ron asked

"Sure, the more company the better." D said. They all knew they would be breaking rules and all but they didn't care and they didn't think the teachers would care and if they did o well. They went outside and sat on the front stairs. D grabbed a pack that said Newport on it and took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Why do you smoke those?" Ginny asked

"They relax me. Max and I have been smoking for years I don't as much as her she's a pack a daygirl but I do especially in stressful times. Without her I fall a part. Do you want one?" D asked in humor but Ginny took one.

"Ginny." Ron said

"Don't I am old enough to do as I like." Ginny said and inhaled. She coughed the first 2 times but after started getting used to it.

D looked up seeing Ron and Harry together next to Ginny quite but disapproving of their smoking and Hermione alone. She was next to Harry and Ron but she wasn't there. "Hermione it is ok what you did. It happens." D said

"I was stupid and crazy. Only psycho's do stuff like that!" Hermione said and looked down.

"No, that is not true. Max and I used to cut for years but we got help. Max of course refused but I got help and I helped her. We have seen a lot of our friends cut and all it shows is a lot of pain and that you need to work on it. It shows u need to learn how to handle it and how to stay away from it. Parents have been main cause with most people as with you. You have to learn Parents Suck no matter what or whom they will suck at one point. You need to know what your parents do has nothing to do with you and if they try to blame you tell them to fuck off because it is not their fault. Also Friends dieing is hard but living is the hardest thing to do. She is probably in heaven happier then ever so live for her and for your friends. Don't bottle it up you feel upset shout it out!" D said and decided to follow her own advice. "I HATE LIFE!!! And I am scared of loosing her! I am scarred and please just bring her back!!!" D screamed so loud they wondered if the entire school had woken up.

"I HATE LIFE! IT'S A BITCH! Nothing is fair and I have to be perfect and I am sick of that I am going o be me and nothing more!" Hermione screamed.

"I MESSED UP!!! I wish I could turn back time so I could get the one I love to trust me again!!!" Harry yelled and D smiled.

"SICK OF BEING THE YOUNGEST!!! I have a life and I can handle everything! SO my BROTHERS SHOULD START TREATING ME WITH MORE RESPECT!" Ginny yelled "AND I WISH LIFE WASN'T SO HARD AND PEOPLE COULD JUST TELL THEIR SECRETS WITHOUT BEING JUDGED!" They all laughed and notice Ron their very red. Harry gave him a 'come on' look and Ron got up.

"I HATE THAT I CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HELP AND BEING USELESS!! I DON'T HAVE ANY STRONG TALENT AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HELP! I HATE ALL THE PAINW E SEE EVEYDAY AND I LOVE MY FMAILY AND AM THANKFULL BUT LIFE SUCK!!!! SUX!!!" Ron yelled. They all smiled and felt a lot better.

"I HATE THAT I CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HELP AND BEING USELESS!! I DON'T HAVE ANY STRONG TALENT AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HELP! I HATE ALL THE PAINW E SEE EVEYDAY AND I LOVE MY FMAILY AND AM THANKFULL BUT LIFE SUCK!!!! SUX!!!" Ron yelled. They all smiled and felt a lot better.

~ A week went by and they went to class's and visited the hospital wing as much as they could. Nothing had changed with Max and the gang was getting worried. ~

*Dinner *

"Still no difference?" Hermione asked

"No, and its been 8 days already ." D said

"I am sure everything will be." But as Harry was saying that sentence the door opened. It was Max standing there in her black robe and walking in. She went to D and hugged her so tight the two hugged for 5 minuets before letting go.

"I am so glad to be back." Max said. She waved over at the teacher's table. Then D hit Max upside the head.

"Don't you ever lave me again?" D said smiling.

"Of course not, it takes more then that to get ride of me!" Max said smiling. She sat with D and the gang.

"Here eat some food." Ginny said.

"No thanks, I am so not hungry stomach ace." Max said

"All right. After this you should get some sleep." D said

"Hell no! I have been sleeping for a week we are going somewhere anywhere together." Then an owl flew to Max and landed in her lap. She opened it and read it out loud. "Dear Max, as I see you are feeling better and shall start the detentions you owe me tonight. Do not be late. Professor Snape! Fine whatever tomorrow afternoon we'll hang out."

"That is no fair I am sure you could talk to Headmaster or nurse and get excused." Ron said

"Nah, I'll just get it over with." Max said smiling.

*Detention*

"Hello Max,"

"Hello, Professor."

"Are you feeling better?" Snape asked

"Yes, I am feeling much better thank you." She answered and could've sworn she heard a little bit of worry in the question.

"All right so you can get back to detention." Snape said.

"OK I'm up for it" Max said and a cold breeze came past.

"I see you no longer wear those muggle cloths."

"Yes, now I wear these robe things. There ok but quite breezy." Max says. Snape realizes she is not wearing anything underneath and has a little grin on his face. Quite interesting. he thought to himself.

"So you will be helping me grade this test. The answers are on this sheet and see if they are correct or not and grade them."

"All right." Max said and sat down next to Snape and started to grade. She was so close to him. she hated it. It was hard being so close and not being able to have him. She grabbed some papers and went to sit in a desk.

"Is there a problem Max?" Professor Snape asked coldly

"No." Max said

"Is there a reason you moved?"

"Yes."

"May I know the reason?" Snape asked annoyed

"No." Max said

"No, Excuse me! As a teacher," Snape said standing up "and the head of your house when I ask a Question I want an answer."

"I can't sit next to you it is uncomfortable." She said

"What do you mean? I believe the chair next to me is quite comfortable."

"That is not what I mean. I mean it is hard sitting so close to you but not being able to touch you. I know for you this must be easy because you don't care but I do all right." Max said exploding. She couldn't believe she just said that what was she thinking! "I am so sorry," but then Snape cut in.

"No, do not be. I understand it and it is not east for me, not at all. You don't think when I see you I want to kiss you and hold you. But I cannot it would be unethical, immoral, and wrong and my whole teaching career could,"

" O shut up! Stop hiding behind your job if you want me I am right here! Yo are just scarred of getting close. I can handle whatever it is, just let me in." max said and went to him and kissed him as he kissed her back. "It is your choice I am here." Max said softly.

Snape stared at her. She was beautiful and right he was scared but she was so young what would she want with him. "You are so beautiful and young what would you want with an old man like me?" Snape asked with a sinking feeling the answer was bad "In my eyes you are not old, and you are beautiful too in your own way. Not so sure about the hair but you are gorgeous." Max said and she could have sworn she saw him make an all-most, kind of, smile.

Snape smiled and kissed her back. He helped her hips and kissed hard. They spent the rest of the detention kissing and staring into each other eyes.

"You are mine now." Snape whispered

"And glad to be." Max said smiling..

Max headed back to the common room and walked in. A lot of Slytherins were asking if she was all right but Draco was in a corner staring into space. Max walked over and could tell something was wrong. Se gave him a look and he looked the other way. It was obvious he needed alone time. She went to bed and thought about Snape.

*Gryffindor Common Room *

"That Snape, I can't believe he made her do detentions." Harry said

"Yeah, I mean seriously!" Ron said

"I don't think she minded" D said smiling

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked suspiciously

"O, she's just used to it all. Detentions and her are like best friends." D said smiling

"Later on tonight how about we sneak to the Slytherin common room and u can telepathically or however you do call her? And we can all go somewhere" Ron asked

"Sure sounds great." D said smiling

*Slytherin Common Room *

"I can't stop thinking about him.." Max was whispering to her self. *I know where his room is. I could pay his a surprise visit. * Thought as she got up changed into her black silk see through gown and red bra and thong. She put a robe over it and snuck out. She made it to Snape undetected barley and knocked on his door. "No ones going to hear it's the dungeon" Said laughing

"Who is it?" Snape said annoyed getting up and opened the door. "Max?"

"Surprise," max said taking off her robe and Snapes swallowed hard mumbling something but she kissed him so fast she missed it. They were on the bed in seconds and she was taking off his black pyjamas. We moved slowly down her body and slid her gown off and kissed her harder. She slid down his body and made his moan. He felt her naked body beside him and he was terrified and excited all together. They were at it for 6 hours. and finally they both collapsed smiling.

"Wow!" Max said "I am going to have some naughty marks on me in the morning"

"Yeah," Snape said, as she laid beside him her naked body against his. He loved the company and maybe even loved her.

Max couldn't believe it! It was rough and amazing. He played with her and then was an animal.

*Gryffindor Common Room *

Ron, Ginny, Harry, and D were in the common room.

"I think, " D said "It would be easier if I went to find her first with someone and then after I find her we come back here or something because the 4 of us is way too much noise." D said smiling

"Yeah, I will go with you." Harry said.

"No way you two will loose track and be all in love together.I'll go."

"Yeah right! You can barley sneak to the kitchen hat home you are such a klutz I will go." Ron said smiling and it was settled.

Ron and D left. "So can you use your telepathic powers to find her? Because I am not sure where slytherin is again." Ron said

"Sure no problem." D closed her eyes and they followed her. After a close encounter with McGonagall and Mrs. Norris they finally reached it but it was a room and Snapes office.

"What?" Ron said confused "You sure you go it right?"

"Positive, one second" *Max, I have to talk to you come out its important meet me great hall NOW * D said and Max woke up and slowly got out of bed not waking Snape. Snuck out to find Rona and D they're staring at her.

"O my god NO! MAX!" D whispered

"What are you 2 doing here?" Max asked

"What are we doing her what are you doing here with o my god is that Snapes shirt on you how did you. o" Ron was shocked

"Look you can't tell anyone not even Harry and Ginny!" Max pleaded

"Fine," D said "But do you know what you have gotten yourself into!"

"I do, please just don't tell anyone." Then max looked back

"Where are you love?" she heard Snape whisper.

"I have to go." Max snuck back in

"I'm right here." Max said and went back into his arms.

"O my god Snape and her they, they!" Ron was in shock. "I mean SNAPE!" Ron was in shock. "Snape!" Ron said again

"Yes max and Snape slept together but you can't tell anyone we will tell Harry and Ginny she was tired and wanted to rest." Max said

"All right. But why world she wants to be screwing with Snape!" Ron said

"Max always found the evil ones attractive, and always saw something everyone else did not. But he is old and I warned her to stay away from him!" They reached the common room quickly said she was tired and all went to bed.

Ginny staid up and waited until everyone was asleep. She snuck outside her common room and went to a portrait. "Forbidden" she whispered and it opened. Some one as in their Ginny went over and they kissed.

"I love you Ginny Weasley."

"I love you too."

"Then, why wont you tell your friends about us? Is it because I'm in Slytherin?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that and you know it! They wouldn't except it" Ginny said in a sad tone. "If you want me to tell them for you of course I will." Ginny said

"Not now when the right moment comes." Then they went back to kissing and Ginny put her hands through the other person's hair.

Then the portrait suddenly opened "What are you two doing?" Gasped and saw they were kissing.

"Professor!" Ginny Yelled
