Hermione could hear Severus pleads. She wanted desperately to respond to him, to reassure him she was fine. But she couldn't control herself. All she felt was an immobilizing fear. She felt as if as every minute passed she was loosing more and more control over her own actions.
"Hermione!" She felt him shaking her.
She forced herself to stop crying, but she couldn't stop feeling the horror.
"You and I are the only ones here!"
"I know," she whispered.
