AN: Thanks for the reviews. You're the best ppl ever lol! I have one more chapter after this one that involves a wedding. But who is in it?
Snape's POV again
The next two days passed with nothing interesting happening. Hermione and I kept getting closer everyday. We hadn't seen Lucius in two days which makes me wonder what he's up too. We have a Death Eaters meeting today which would hopefully go better then our last meeting.
It was early morning and I was waking to find Hermione in my arms. It was a good feeling. I moved out of the bed but decided to let her rest. It was a Saturday so she didn't have classes to be to. I walked out into the kitchen and started to make some tea. I heard a knock at the door. I gave a heavy sigh and went to the door. Potter was on the other side. "I'm sorry to come so early sir but I needed to talk to Hermione is she awake?" Potter asked looking into the room. "No not yet. I was going to let her sleep in. Come back later," I said closing the door not waiting for an answer.
I turned to go back to the kitchen and saw Hermione standing by the couch. "Who was that?" She asked in a soft voice. "Oh it was Potter. I thought you were sleeping so I told him to come back later." I walked over to her and gave her a kiss and went into the kitchen. I heard her go into the bathroom and start the shower. I sat at the table and read a Daily Profit from the day before.
As I finished reading the Profit Hermione came into the kitchen. "You have any plans today?" I asked her. She looked over at me and smiled. "Well it's a Hogsmeade weekend so I was thinking of going with Harry and Ginny," she said smiling over at me. "When do you have to go to your meeting?" She asked sitting in the chair next to mine. "In an hour," I said not looking at her. I stood and kissed her goodbye and went to take a shower.
When I got done with my shower Hermione had left already. I walked to the fire place and grabbed some Floo powder. I stepped into the fire place and yelled "Riddle House" letting go of the Floo powder. I landed on my feet in the house. I looked around and saw a few other people there and Draco standing in a corner with his Mother and Father. I went over to them. "Narcissa, Lucius, alls well I hope," I said looking at Draco. "Yes everything is fine. Severus, tell me how is it that Granger has come to live with you and give me one good reason why I should tell our Lord about it?" Lucius said with an evil glare in his eyes.
"Well it is part of her being my apprentice. I gave her a choice of living with Draco or me, and she choose me," I said knowing that Lucius would tell Voldemort anyways. I heard a gong sound and saw everyone move into the next room. I followed making sure to stay in the back of the crowd. I saw Voldemort sitting in his chair and Lucius walk to the front of the crowd.
"Master I have news of the wedding. It seems that Miss Granger is living with one of us. Her teacher Severus Snape," he said holding his arm up. "Shit," I said under my breath. "Is this right? Severus, come forward," he said as I felt a pull on my robes. I moved to the front of the crowd and bowed my head. "Is Malfoy telling the truth Severus, is the young Miss Granger living with you?"
"Yes sir it is indeed true. It is part of her apprenticeship with me," I said as I felt the pull on my robes get hard. I looked up and saw that Voldemort was now standing. "Why have you not told me this before? You knew of our plans with her and you have waited until now to say anything," Voldemort growled angrily. He started too walked towards me but stopped when he saw Draco standing by his mom. "Ahh young Mr. Malfoy, come here," he said with a flick of his finger making Draco float to him. I watched as Draco landed with a hard thump next to me.
"Malfoy did you know about this? And if you say yes I want to know why you never told me," Voldemort said his voice getting dangerous. I looked at Voldemort and then back at Draco. "Umm yes sir I knew. I never said anything because I didn't know it really mattered, sir because even if she is living with Snape she is still at Hogwarts," Draco said rather sheepishly because he knew he was in trouble now. I watched as Voldemort moved closer to him and grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. "Of course it mattered you idiot. This is going to be perfect. Severus," He said throwing Draco down. I heard a creak come from Draco's leg and a grunt come out of Draco's mouth. "I want you to bring the girl here tonight. Go get her now or you shall have to suffer. Oh and Severus bring young Malfoy with you," he said turning away and walking to his chair. "You have one hour to bring her to me," he said calmly as he sat. I grabbed Draco's arm and lifted him up. He put his arm over my shoulder and we walked to the fire place and Flooed back to my rooms.
As I walked out of the fire place and looked around my rooms Draco came in. He sat on the ground and held his leg. The bone was out and it was bleeding. I went into my classroom and grabbed a potion and came back. "Here drink this. It will help with the pain. And then drink this. It will heal that way." I walked into the labs and around the rest of the chambers. I looked over at Draco who had healed up nicely. I walked over to him and fixed his pants with my wand and a simple spell. "We have to go find Hermione now. You can come with me or stay here its up to you," I said walking towards the door. I heard him move to follow me and I walked out of the room leaving the door open.
I walked up to the Great Hall to see if Hermione was in there but instead only saw Potter and Ginny. I walked in and looked at Potter. "Where's Hermione? She said she would be with you today," I said grabbing Potters shoulder. "She went to Hogsmeade. She said she had to meet a few people there," he said standing and facing me. "Shit come on Potter we need to find her NOW!" I said getting angry at Hermione.
The four of us left the school. I say four because Ginny had decided to join us. We walked to the front gates of the school and into Hogsmeade. I looked around and saw that it was full of Hogwarts students. "Do you know where she was going?" I asked looking at Potter. "She said to the tea shop place," Potter said pointing in the general direction of the shop. I grabbed Potter and Malfoy and walked down the street. I went into the shop and saw Hermione sitting at a table by herself. "Professor, Harry, Draco? What's going on?" She said standing as we came in. "I'm sorry Hermione but you need to come with Draco and me. We need to go somewhere and Potter you should come. Miss Weasley you can stay at Hogwarts." I grabbed Hermione's arm and brought her over to a fire place and watched as Draco did the same with Potter's. I grabbed some Floo Powder and dropped it yelling Riddle House.
I walked into the big room Hermione still in my arms. "I'm sorry about this Hermione," I said as Draco came out of the fire place. I lifted Hermione so she was over my shoulder and brought her into the room Voldemort was sitting in and put her on the floor in front of him. I watched as Draco pushed Potter next to her. "Well, well Severus you have out done yourself. I send you for the girl and not only do you bring me the girl but you bring me Potter. Well done," he said as he stood and walked towards us. I looked at Hermione and saw her look at Potter and then back at me. "Severus, what's going on?" Hermione said as ropes came out of the floor and tied her legs and arms together. I looked away from her hoping that she wouldn't see that I was actually sorry.
I watched as Draco went back over to his mother. I stepped back unsure of what was going to happen. I watched as Voldemort walked over to Harry and made him stand. "You're the one I really wanted. I was just going to use the girl to get you. Now Potter we can fight for real," Voldemort said pulling out his wand. I watched Hermione as she tried to loosen the ropes. I looked back at Voldemort and everyone else whose eyes were on the fight. I bumped Draco and pointed to Hermione and then at his wand which was in his hand. He nodded his head and said a quite spell setting Hermione free. I watched as she stood and walked over to Voldemort and Potter her own wand in hand.
I was surprised no one said anything about the fact that Hermione was coming towards them. I looked over at Voldemort and Potter and was surprised to see Voldemort up in the air holding his neck as if he couldn't breath. I looked over at Potter and saw him holding his wand in the air and whispering quickly. I looked back at Hermione. She was looking up at Voldemort and smiling. I was guessing she had taught this to Potter. I watched as she raised her wand and helped with the spell. I looked over at Draco. "Do you have any idea what they are doing?" I asked not knowing this spell. "No clue," Draco said. "But if I had to make a guess I would say that it is something that they made themselves sir." I looked back over at Hermione and Potter who were standing side by side now and fighting together against Voldemort. I saw Hermione turn to look at me and wink. I was suddenly feeling like I should help.
I took out my hand and looked up at Voldemort. "Avada Kedavra," I said pointing my wand at Voldemort. I watched as he fell to the ground and Hermione and Potter dropped there wands. I looked at Draco and then back at Hermione. She looked at Potter who dropped to his knees holding his chest. I walked over to Voldemort and kicked his side to see if he was really dead. He didn't move. I heard Hermione give a small squeak and turned to see Potter lying on his back on the ground. I walked over to him, lifted him in my arms and went to the fire place Hermione and Draco following close behind. I grabbed a handful of Floo Powder and dropped it in the fire place. "Hospital Wing, Hogwarts" I said.
