Disclaimer: Usual do not own

Sorry for such a long wait but my computer was kinda crowded over and I wasn't able to get around to cleaning the table off. I'm so lazy I know and most of you are going to want to kill me but please don't. My life is already hectic enough without the threat of death hanging over my head.

Night 12: Daytime Founding's

Ron and Hermione walked into the Great Hall, arguing as usual. They had just sat down and filled their plates when Dumbledore stood up. The hall became deathly silent.

"Due to some mishaps our Potions professor will not be able to teach for awhile. Therefore, potions class periods can be used as free time. Enjoy your breakfast." Dumbledore finished with a wave of his hand and the room erupted in excited chatter.

"Yes!" Ron said gleefully shoving a muffin into his mouth.

"Ron! Something bad could have happened and you don't care one bit do you?"

"Sorry Hermione." Ron mumbled. "But no potions, that's a miracle."

"Yes, but Ron, Professor Snape could be seriously hurt. We should try to figure out what happened." Hermione said worriedly.

Ron sighed. "Oh fine." There really was no point in arguing with the girl when she set her mind on something.

"Good. We'll start right after breakfast." She said smugly.

"Oh man." Ron moaned. That was supposed to be his free time.

"Come on Ron." Hermione said urgently as she stopped in front of their DADA professors office.

"What makes you think Professor Lupin is going to know about Snape?"

"They work together, that's how." She said in an annoyed tone before knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Hermione opened the door and the two stepped in.

"Oh, hello Ron, Hermione. Do come in." Remus said without looking up from his papers.

"How did you know?" Ron asked sitting slowly in one of the chairs.

Remus looked up. "I'm a werewolf Ron." He said with a slight smile and the red head blushed.

"Right."

Remus chuckled. "What is it that you two need?"

"We were wondering about Professor Snape. Is he okay?"

"Yes Hermione, he is fine. Why?"

Hermione looked down at her hands, which were clasped in her lap. "Well, he was watching Harry, wasn't he?" she looked up quickly. "I mean, were else could Harry go?"

Remus just smiled slightly. "Yes, that's right, but I assure you that Harry is just fine. Professor Snape will be fine as well.. Anything else you two need?"

"No Professor." Hermione stood up and moved toward the door. "Come on Ron."

Ron stood and followed. "Coming."

Once the two had left Sirius walked out of another room and sat down on the desk.

"That boy is whipped."

"Sirius!" Remus said in shock.

"What?" the animagus replied with a shrug. "He is." He said before standing up and transforming into Padfoot.

"That was a lot of help Hermione."

The bushy haired girl glared at her friend. "Not that you were any help."

"I didn't complain about anything." Ron said hopefully.

"Oh Ronald." Hermione sighed shaking her head.

"Come on Herm."

"Well if it isn't the Mudblood and the Weasel." Malfoy sneered as the two glared at him. "I wonder where Scarhead is."

"That's none of your business Ferret."

Malfoy glared as Hermione grabbed Ron and pulled him away. "Don't get lost without Potter."

"Why that…" Ron growled before Hermione interrupted him.

"Not now Ron, look."

Ron looked down the corridor to see a white wolf stumble and fall. He watched as Hermione ran up to it before following. They both knelt down beside it as the canine slightly opened its eyes to look at them and move its head as Hermione scratched it behind its ears.

"It's okay, we're not going to hurt you."

Hermione took off her outer robe and wrapped it around the wolf before motioning Ron to do the same. Once they were sure that the other students wouldn't see him, they picked him up and headed toward the Hospital Wing.

"Is the poor thing going to be alright Madam Pomfrey?" Hermione asked worriedly as Ron rolled his eyes.

Madam Pomfrey looked up from the wolf. "I'm sure he will be, given a few days rest.

"That's good." Hermione's eyes widened as she saw Professor Snape laying in another bed along with Harry and someone she didn't recognize in the darkest corner. "Madam Pomfrey, can we see Harry?"

"Don't see the point, he's asleep and won't hear you, but go ahead." She said sounding slightly annoyed but smiled and went back into her office.

The two friends walked over to Harry's bed and looked down at him.

"He looks like death." Ron whispered quietly.

"Well of course Ron." The bushy haired witch said before slowly touching Harry's forehead. She pulled back sharply.

Ron looked at her. "What is it?"

"He's like ice."

"Well duh."

Hermione glared at Ron as he smiled and turned to look at the unknown black haired guy.

"So who do you think this is?" he looked back at his friend.

"Why are you asking me? Ask him."

"What?" Ron questioned before turning back to the stranger. "Oh."

The man now had his eyes opened and was directly looking at Ron who ran to the other side of Harry's bed when he sat up. He looked over at the two and smiled.

"Your Harry's friends, you are in no danger."

Ron pushed Hermione forward a bit. "Um, what's your name?" she asked as the man stood.

"It's Edge and I'm Harry's Sire, before you ask." He said straightening his robes.

"Don't be an ass Edge."

"Harry!"

"Hi guys." He said sitting up. "Where'd the wolf come from?"

"It's Dante." Edge said walking over to the wolf.

"Dante? Who's that?" Harry asked curiously.

"The Sire I haven't seen for about 300 years."

Sorry it's so short but I just wanted to get a little bit of Ron and Hermione in there somewhere but things are going to start getting better in the next chapter or the one after that one, whenever I decide to do it. You'll just have to wait and see. Hope you enjoyed it.
