Part 2

Lost?

A woman with long bushy blonde hair with brown roots pulled back in a scrunchy and chocolate brown eyes, hand shot into the air.

"Yes Ms Granger?" asked the women in the front of the class.

"Well the only way to save the potion would be to add powered lavender roots. But it well make the potion useless. But if you add half an once of liquid lavender and cut dry pixie nails it will dull the potion but not make it useless." Hermione said looking at the board.

"All right Ms Granger now come up here and prove your second theory." The teacher said with smirk.

She walked up there and began to prepare the potion. She had enrolled into a university to become a potion mistress. She was going to fill the postion in Hogwarts. Her work was just as good as it was in Hogwarts but she didn't spend any time making friends and her roommate hated her. She put all of her feelings into school and work and her grades showed it. She had a 106 grade average.

She added the extra ingredients to the forgetfulness potion. The potion turned green then into a light olive, the right color.

"All right Ms granger, How much of the potion should be given to forget the last five minuets?" the teacher asked.

"Well, Mrs. Lupin, if the potion was made without errors it would only be a drop. But now it would be 1 milliliter." Hermione said with a defiant nod.

"All right. Let's try it." Said Mrs. Lupin; her short brown hair fell into her blue-ish eyes. "Ms black, please come up here and take the amount that Ms Granger said should bet taken."

A girl with long red hair and freckles walked up to the front of the room and ladled out some of the potion. She tried to pour it into a beaker but Mrs. Lupin stopped her.

"Ah, ah. A real potions Mistress can know an amount with out one." Mrs. Lupin said as a smirk appeared on her lips. It was clear that she wanted to see how well Ms Black had studied. Mrs. Lupin was a very strict teacher and once reminded Hermione of Snape but she soon found out that Mrs. Lupin could be really nice…even in class.

Ms black poured a bit into her mouth and her face contorted in disgust. She swallowed and was about to say something when her face went blank. She blinked a couple of times.

"Ello, Mrs. Lupin! I'm sorry but why did you call me up here again?" Ms Black asked as she looked from Hermione to Mrs. Lupin.

"Very good. Now go sit down." Mrs. Lupin demanded. Ms black scuttled to her set. Mrs. Lupin's mouth turned up into a smile as she turned t Hermione. "Very good." With that she dismissed the class.

Hermione hurriedly collected her things and rushed out of the room. She walked into the lunchroom and waited in line for food. Once gotten, she sat down at the nearest empty table. She pulled out one of her school texts Bad Signs. She ate as she read.

"Uhh" whispered a low voice. It came from a man in a dark cave. He sat up and looked around. The darkness surround him and it scared him a bit he felt around on the floor. He crawled the stones hurt his bare knees. Finally, after was seemed like an eternity, he found light. At first it hurt his eyes but they slowly came to liking it. He crawled the rest of the way out of the cave. Outside trees were every where and the ground had many rocks sticking out of the grass.

He pushed his long black hair out of his face and a look of complete disgust came to his face. His hair felt gross. He looked down upon himself and a deep frown formed on his lips. Dirt was covering his almost naked body, he was only clad in a pants that had huge gaping holes and rips. He had to find that spring he'd found a week ago. He didn't know how long he had been sleeping but he didn't feel like it had been very long. He needed to find some food.

Hermione flopped down onto her bed. This was the beginning of her first year, about a mouth in, and she was all ready tired. The campus was huge and she had classes spread all over the place. She rolled over and snuggled into her pillow. She rolled over in time to see her roommate walk in, her long black hair pulled into a high ponytail her dark eyelined- eyes looked at Hermione.

"Listen. I hate livin in here. So I'm movin. But sense I need to a have a room on campus. I'm stayin here. I'm gonna leave some stuff. Just don't touch it." She said. Hermione nodded. She walked around the room and packed most of her things in a duffel bag.

"Any mail that comes here for me leave it on my bed." She commanded. Hermione nodded again then the roommate left. Hermione sighed and rolled back onto her stomach.

She slowly drifted into a light sleep. But just as the sleep started to deepen. Then a heavy weight landed on her back. It clawed. Hermione groaned and rolled over the owl fluttered onto her nightstand its dark sleek brown feathers glinted in the lamplight. She reached for the scroll attached to its leg. She untied it and the owl flew out the open window. She looked at the scroll and found that it bore the Hogwarts seal, which she promptly broke.

Inside Dumbledore's writing was a bit hurried.

Dear Hermione,

We found wind of Severus. The death eater that told us he was killed told us he was just left to die. I can't write it all now. I've already sent an excuse for you to miss some school. Meet me in the Three Broom Sticks as soon as you get this.

Hurry,

Albus Dumbledore

Hermione blinked and put the letter down then the word 'hurry' kicked in she packed some clothes into her back pack then aperated to the Three Broom Sticks.

"Hermione over here!" called an old voice. Hermione raced for the table in the back of the room. Dumbledore had a smile. Hermione noticed he wasn't alone. A young girl sat next to him and looked slightly sad. Hermione smiled warmly as she sat down in an empty seat.

"Hermione how nice it is for you to join us!" said Dumbledore with a smile. "This is Sagkarie. She is going to help us." Dumbledore said introducing the young short-black-haired-bright-sky-blue-eyed-many-freckled girl next to him.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Hermione." Hermione said with another warm grin. Sagkarie smiled back but Hermione noticed it was a bit weird.

"Nice to meet you to…Dumbledore didn't tell me but why were you called to help?" Sagkarie asked raising an eyebrow.

"Ummm…" Hermione murmured looking down at the table, hoping that Dumbledore will answer instead.

"That can wait for later. Now is the time to start to talk about our plan." Dumbledore said with a smile. Sagkarie nodded and Hermione smiled in happiness of not having to talk about her long ago relationship with Snape.

"Now if we are to believe McNeir. Severus is some were in South America. McNeir said that the forget hex didn't work. So they administered a potion that as of now is deemed unstable. It sends the drinker back in years." Said Dumbledore looking at Hermione and Sagkarie in turn to make sure both were listening. "As there body changes as does their mind. Say you are given an once you well go back to last year. Or at lest you will think you have."

"So you are saying that if you are given that potion this very day, you well think that it is this day that many years back and your body well look it?" Hermione asked skeptically.

"Yes." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"How much was given to him?" Hermione asked curiosity sparkled in her eyes.

"That's were the details get hazy…" Dumbledore said a bit sad but a smile was still upon his lips. "But that is why Sagkarie is here! She was a spy for The Order of the Phoenix as well and joined Severus on a couple accessions."

Jealousy flooded Hermione. The girl in front of her had spent time with Snape all alone. But she calmed down and figured that they only had a work relationship. Hermione looked around noticing that Dumbledore and Sagkarie were looking at her strangely.

"To answer your first question he got 23 years taken off him." Sagkarie said and a little laugh in her voice but Hermione and Dumbledore didn't notice.

Hermione's jaw dropped. Snape was now just a year older than she was. "Can he regain his memories?" Hermione asked the one question that was pressing on her mind.

"Yes…But he can't go back to his original age." Sagkarie said airily. Dumbledore looked like he was about to say something but a waitress came and interrupted him. Hermione ordered just a butter beer while both Dumbledore and Sagkarie ordered whiskey.

They sat there for a while not talking just sipping their drinks.

"Now it's later tell me why you are here?" said Sagkarie as she sat her empty glass on the table and looked over at Hermione.

"As I said, that can wait." Dumbledore said. "Now, Sagkarie, where is Severus?"

"He is near the Amazon river." said Sagkarie. She then started to itch her head a look of happiness covered her face. Soon she looked over at Dumbledore and Hermione who was looking at her like she was nuts. A blush covered her face.

"Albus may I?" she asked looking over at Dumbledore, who nodded. Suddenly two doggy ears appeared on her head. And her hair lightened to a silvery-red and her eyes changed into a greenish gold. Her clothes changed from a tank top and jeans to dark blue silk clothes. The top had long sleeves that went past her fingers and dragons decorated them. Her pants changed a long skirt that would trail on the ground when she walked it to had dragons on it. "Ahhh…That feels good…"

Hermione stared at her in amazement. She had never seen a real demon but she had read about them. There were many legends.

"What are you looking at?" Sagkarie asked glaring at Hermione unwavering look.

"How where you able to go through school?" Hermione asked a blush on her face for staring. She looked down at the table.

"Didn't need to. My mom and dad taught me everything I know." Sagkarie said with a smile. Her ears twitched.

"But I thought all of the demons died out years ago…" Hermione said looking back up at Sagkarie.

"Hell no! My dad is still alive and I live in a huge clan of dog demons." Sagkarie said with a smile her fangs glinting. Dumbledore stayed quite.

"Are you a full?" asked Hermione with a small smile.

"No…My mom was a human…And my dad was full…So, I'm half…" Sagkarie said looking down at the table like it was a bad thing. Hermione knew that it was a thing of great disgrace for being a half and being the parents of one.

"Oh…Well, now a days isn't it hard to find a full?" asked Hermione. She loved that she was getting to talk to a real demon.

"Yes…But those who are out there still think that halfling should be killed." Sagkarie said looking up at Hermione.

"That's terrible…" Hermione whispered.

They sat there for a while talking about their families. Hermione found out that Sagkarie was about 100 years old. And her father was the legendary Sesshomaru. Hermione talked very little about her family.

"God! Are there no cities around here…" whispered the male with black hair. He had climbed a tree to look around but he couldn't see anything. He climbed down the tree and sat down in its roots. The dry leaves pricked the skin on the ground. He hadn't been able to fix his pants so he had decided to just give up and go around naked.

Suddenly a sharp pain went threw his butt he yelped and jumped up. He looked down and found that he sat on an aunt trail. He whimpered and walked away a little red wilt formed on his butt.

Hermione had a smile on her face, as did Sagkarie. They stared each other in concentration. Their eyes locked. Hermione slowly moved her hand. Then Sagkarie moved hers. Suddenly there was a loud 'Slap' Hermione hit Sagkarie's hand.

"Damn! And I thought I had good reflexes…My dad would be furious if he knew I lost to a human…" Sagkarie said siting back in her chair and rubbing her slapped hand.

Hermione smiled "I'm not just a human, I'm a witch!" Hermione said her smile turned into a grin.

"Ahhh…I see you both have gotten aquatinted." Dumbledore said standing. Sagkarie and Hermione looked at each other and walked out with him.

They soon apperated to The Leaky Caldron and got two rooms there. The girls fell asleep fast in their room.

Hermione and Sagkarie left early in the morning and took a plane to South America; they didn't wait to raise anybody's suspicion if they just aperated.

They got out of the plane, which was rather small. The pilot bid them good bye. They planed to just apperate back over to the Leaky Caldron when they found Severus. As the plane took off Hermione looked over at Sagkarie.

"Umm…This might sound rude but…Can you smell Severus?" asked Hermione.

"Well, I am a dog demon!" said Sagkarie; she put her hands on her hips. Hermione blushed. "But I haven't seen Severus for a while so I'm not use to his scent." Sagkarie said.

"Oh that sucks…" Hermione muttered. Looking down at the ground. "Ummm I read in a book that demons mostly dog demons can smell someone on another person." Hermione said looking up at Sagkarie who nodded.

"Yes we can but only if they have been in close contact with them or had mated with them." Sagkarie said cocking a brow when she saw the light blush on Hermione's cheeks. "You two have mated?" Hermione nodded. A weird smile came to Sagkarie's face but was gone as soon as it came. She walked over to Hermione and started to sniff her. She could clearly smell a male on her.

She then left the surprised looking Hermione and bent over onto the ground and started to sniff. She got back up and frowned.

"I can't get a scent right now, lets go on for a bit." Sagkarie said. Hermione nodded and pulled her backpack up onto her back. Sagkarie picked up her pack, which was a considerable size bigger than Hermione's but she put it on her back easily. They headed on a path to the huge Amazon River.

"Ahhhh…" The male sighed as the out let of the river cooled him. The sting on is butt had burned until he entered the water. He dipped under and came back up his black hair swirled in the gentle current. He had never been this long with out anyone to talk to and it was starting to wear on his nerves.

"God I miss women…" he muttered. He was a teen and was in the prime of his life. He thought that if he didn't find a woman when he was young he could never find one when he was older.

He sighed again and played with the water. Suddenly something slithered against his leg. He reached under the water and pulled out a young black boa. The young man smiled and petted the head of the snake. It looked up at him and he could tell it liked it. The young male smiled and climbed out of the water the snake slithered up his arm and around his shoulders with no sign of wanting to hurt him. Suddenly, he heard a cracking of a twig near the other side of the river. He listened and heard voices. He quickly ran into the woods and watched. He pulled his wand out from behind his ear.

Sagkarie stopped dead infront of Hermione.

"What is it?" Hermione said.

"I can smell him." She whispered she set her bag on the ground and it broke a twig. As did Hermione but it didn't break a twig.

"Where?" Hermione whispered.

"Shhh…" Sagkarie whispered her finger to her lips.

Suddenly she jumped from the tree cover and landed near the bank of the river. Hermione ran after her, her wand out and ready. They couldn't see anyone but Hermione heard a faint growl come from Sagkarie.

Hermione stepped in front of her and yelled "Come out and I will not hurt you!" she yelled.

Suddenly something jumped out from the other side of the river landed onto the other side of the river. A demon in blue clothes held her claws up. Severus gulped. Then a second person broke threw the tree line but they didn't jump. They ran out and held up a wand. He know noticed that this was another magical person and best of all it was a female! She was dressed in a light long sleeved shirt, blue and tight, a pair of long tight jeans and knee high brown leather boots. Her clearly dyed hair hung up in a black hair-tie; the blond curls lightly touched her shirt.

She yelled for him to come out and she wouldn't hurt him. He stood and walked out into the open. Not minding his nakedness.
