Fighting For His Life
Disclaimer: What do you think.
Dumbledore was there within half a minute. He saw Severus on the bed, covered in bandages and Hermione on the edge with a book.
"Miss Granger," she looked up from her book and put it down. "what happend?"
Hermione told him the whole story from chasing the Deatheater, to getting Snape down here, to fixing him up.
"I think he'll be ok now, he's in a dreamless sleep." she said. Dumbledore smiled and nodded.
"Good job Miss Granger, its a good thing you were there or Professor Snape may not have made it. I think we should move..." he was cut off when she shook her head.
"He shouldn't be moved yet, he's not fully stablized yet, he could bleed out." she said. Dumbledore nodded.
"Ok Miss Granger, DOBBY," Dobby appeared.
"Yes Professor Dumbledore." Dobby said giving him a low bow.
"Please bring Professor McGonagall down here."
"Yes sir." and he popped out of sight. Five minutes later McGonagall entered and was filled in.
"Stay with him Minerva." Dumbledore said, she nodded and sat in a chair by the bed. Hermione and Dumbledore left.
"Miss Granger, your friend are worried and in the common room." he said. She nodded and went back to the common room.
Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Neville were waiting. They saw she was covered in Snape's blood and were really worried.
"Hermione your covered in blood, what happend?" Harry said. So she told them about rescuing Severus. Severus, since when have I thought of him as Severus?
"You saved Snape's life?" Ron said incredulisly.
"Yes Ron, he IS human, I couldn't let him die." she said.
"No its not that, YOU save HIS life, how is he going to act around you now?" Ron said. She shrugged.

The next morning, she woke to an owl rapping on the window. She opened it and took the letter from it.
Miss Granger,
If you wouldn't mind I'd like to speak to you alone in my chambers at 9:00. Please come, we need to talk.
Professor Severus Snape
Hermione was surprised. Snape wants to meet me? O...k, that's interesting. She looked at her watch. 8:45. Well I might as well eat breakfast first. So she went down to the Great Hall.
After eating it was 8:56. Just enough time to get down there. she thought.

Snape sighed. Hermione Granger, a mudblood, had saved him from dying at the hands of a filthy deatheater. She'd done quite a good jod too.
He'd sent Minerva away earlier after she'd told him what happend, God does that woman fuss. he thought. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." he said, his voice was hoarse and weak. Hermione tentitvely opened the door.
"Come in Miss Granger," Snape said. She walked in and stood there. "Sit down." he jestured at the chair beside the bed weakly. Hermione sat.
"Miss Granger, I uhh... wanted to thank you for uhh... saving me last night." he said. She smiled.
"Your welcome Professor Snape." she said nervously. The door opened and Dumbledore entered.
"Hello Severus, ah Miss Granger, good morning."
"Good morning Professor Dumbledore,"Hermione said. "I should go." and she left.
"Albus, can you knock?" Severus said exasperated.
"I can, I just didn't," Dumbledore said. "Listen, someone has to be here till you recover..."
"Albus, I don't need a baby..." he was cut off by Dumbledore.
"No, but you're not well enough to be moving, you're still not strong enough to get out of bed, I was thinking Poppy..."
"No way, there is no way in hell I'm spending time with her, she fusses more than Minerva." Snape said. Dumbledore laughed.
"Ok but someone has to be here, how 'bout Miss Granger?" he suggested.
"Spending a month with just a Gryffondor, no."
"Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy?" Dumbledore suggested. "its them or Poppy."
"I'll take just Granger, Malfoy's father's the one who did this, never will I spend a month with him." Snape said.
"Lucius did this, ok Miss Granger it is." Dumbledore said and he left the room.
Severus sighed. A month with Granger, yippe. he thought.
