Here is the chapter I promised. But I need help! Worrning: Snape and Dumbledore are out of charater. I do not own any Harry Potter Charaters.

Chapter 6

Hermione's Journal:

I got to Headquarters two weeks into the summer holiday; I'm still recovering from the battle that took place at the end of fifth year. Harry lost his godfather in that battle.

I've been talking to Ron to get some things straighten out about our relationship. It turns out that Ron's overprotective of me because he sees the same way he sees Ginny, as a sister.

Ron also knows my deepest secret, a secret that I though I could hide from everyone. I'm in love with one of my best friends, Harry Potter. I hope Ron and Ginny (she knows too) aren't going to play matchmaker any time soon.

Harry ran away on his birthday and I miss him terribly. Ron and I believe that Harry went some where in the muggle world because he's well known in the wizarding world and is wanted dead by the worst dark lord of the century…

"There's a letter from Harry," Ron said as he came into the sitting room that Hermione is sitting in.

"Well, what does it say?" Hermione asked as she closed her journal.

"It says, 'if you want to see me before school starts ask Professor McGonagall but to ask when Dumbledore is not around'," Ron replied as he read some of the letter out-loud. He then handed the letter to Hermione so she could read it herself.

"Why would Professor McGonagall know where Harry is?" Hermione asked with slight confusion as she placed the letter down on top of her journal.

"I don't know to tell you the truth, but why would he not want to tell Dumbledore where he is?" Ron asked. "Dumbledore could get Harry to a safe place."

"But that might be why Harry's hiding," Hermione said thoughtfully. "Remember, we've been asked by Dumbledore to spy on Harry?"

Ron shuttered, "Don't remind me! I think he's paying my family because I'm friends with Harry and that's starting to piss me off! Harry's a good person; he doesn't need this kind of pain."

"Is there an Order meeting going on right now?"

"Yea," Ron replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Maybe we can talk to Professor McGonagall after the meeting," Hermione suggested.

"Ok," Ron replied. Then he left the room. Hermione lifted the letter and reopened her journal, placed the letter with the rest of the letters from Harry. Then turned back to the page that she had been righting on before and continued on from where she left off.

After the Order Meeting:

"Professor, can I talk to you?" Ron asked Professor McGonagall.

"Yes, you may, Mr. Weasley," Minerva replied.

They walked up to the room that Ron and Hermione were talking in earlier and Hermione was still there but now she was reading a school book.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Mr. Weasley?" Minerva asked.

"Professor, did Headmaster leave after the meeting was over?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, he did, why?" Minerva asked confused.

"Harry wrote us a letter that arrived sometime ago. It said that if we want to see him before school starts again, that we should talk to you," Ron answered.

"What would you like me to do?" Minerva asked.

"Can we see Harry?" Hermione asked. "Even if it's only for a couple of hours or even a couple of minutes, please."

"I need to talk to my husband first and if he gives the ok then you can come over," Minerva replied. "Then we'll see, but I can promise anything."

"Thank you, Professor," Ron said quietly, trying to hide his defeat.

"Can you bring this to Harry for me?" Hermione asked. "I don't want to give the letter to Pig and it's much safer for a mail carrier to take the letter than an owl."

Minerva nodded and took the sealed letter. Then she placed it into one of her pockets. "I understand you concern. I'll make sure he gets the letter."

"Thank you," Hermione mumbled.

"Mr. Weasley, do you have a letter as well?"

"Yes," Ron replied as he handed her a letter. She took the letter and placed it with the other one.

CRASH!

"What was that?" Ron exclaimed.

"You two stay here and hide," Minerva ordered. "And don't disobey." She took out her wand and quickly left the room, charming the door to close and lock its-self behind her, both Ron and Hermione knowing that they didn't have a choice in the matter and hid them-selves quickly.

Minerva then quickly went down the stairs to look for the noise. She wasn't the only one looking, but she got to the crash site first. An unmoving body was lying on the ground; she felt a twist in her gut, why do I have the feeling this is Severus.

She knelt down next to Snape and felt a faint pulse coming from Snape's body. "Get Madam Pomfrey and do it quickly!" She exclaimed to a fellow Order Member, who had came to see what had crashed. That member nodded and quickly went back the way she came only to come back several moments later with Madam Pomfrey following her.

"Has anyone moved him?" The nurse asked.

"No one, I got here first," Minerva answered.

Madam Pomfrey then summed a stretcher and carefully moved Snape to the stretcher. The stretcher then rose to be several feet off the ground; it followed her into a room that was created into a hospital wing. Then she carefully moved Snape to a bed and quickly got to work.

"Madam Pomfrey?" Dumbledore asked an hour later. "Is he all right?"

"All right as he can be," Madam Pomfrey replied. "I forbid him from going back to Voldemort. He almost died today!"

"But I need information!" Dumbledore exclaimed angrily. If Madam Pomfrey was startled by his out burst, she didn't show it but Minerva did show her shock. "I need to know what Voldemort's plans are!"

"I'm sorry," Madam Pomfrey replied. "This man has been threw rough couple of hours and is sleeping at the moment. I can tell you this, he keeps mumbling James."

"Does he mean James Potter?" Minerva asked confused.

"I don't know," Madam Pomfrey replied. "I think all those spells he was hit with has made him see things for a while." She then retreated back into the room Snape was in.

"Albus, I think its best you went home and got some sleep," Minerva said quietly. "You can't find anything out while he's sleeping off any affects of spells from Who-know-who and the potions that Madam Pomfrey has given him to help him with pain."

"No! This can not wait! I need to know now if there's going to be an attack sooner or later!" Dumbledore exclaimed. He started to walk to the closed door to the Hospital Wing.

"Albus! If you take one more step, I'll be forced to curse you through hell and back!" Minerva exclaimed. Dumbledore stopped only because he knew she would curse him. She was the one that Lily got her stubbornness and temper from.

"Fine!" Dumbledore replied. "I'll go back to Hogwarts and get some sleep." He then turned his direction and left the hall towards the front door. Minerva, for a split moment got a look at Dumbledore's face and had to bit back a giggle because the old man looked like a little boy that didn't get what he wanted.

Minerva then when upstairs to free Ron and Hermione from the room they were in and to tell them she just needs to talk to their parents about visiting Harry. She had talked to her husband on a cell phone that no one knew she had. The phone was charmed to run on magic and not the normal batteries.

Two Days Later:

"Professor Snape is still asleep," Ginny mumbled to Hermione as the older teen sat down at the table for breakfast. "But Madam Pomfrey says he should be waking up today."

"Madam Pomfrey still wouldn't let Dumbledore into the room," Ron said quietly. "I don't think Snape can go back to spy."

"What makes you say that?" Hermione asked.

"I think Voldemort knows that Snape isn't loyal as he once thought," Ron replied. "So that's the reason that Snape has been hurt badly."

"If that's true…" Hermione started to say then Mrs. Weasley came into the room.

"The Professor is awake," The older Weasley said as she started to go to the fireplace.

"Mum, can I talk to Professor Snape?" Ginny asked quietly.

Mrs. Weasley stopped in her tracks and turned to her only daughter, Ron was looking at his sister with a shocked face, the older woman asked, "Why?" Hermione tried to hold back a giggle.

"I don't think he wants to talk to Headmaster at the moment," Ginny replied. "I just want to see if he'll talk to me, even if it's only for a little while."

Mrs. Weasley took in a deep breath, thought for a moment and replied, "Only until Dumbledore gets here."

"Thanks, Mum!" Ginny exclaimed as push back her chair and stood up quickly and left the room through the door that Mrs. Weasley had just come though.

Mrs. Weasley then continued on doing what she was going and when she was out of hearing range. "What the bloody hell just happened!" Ron exclaimed quietly.

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed. Mrs. Weasley still didn't hear anything. "She wants to see if he's all right, that's all." I hope, she added silently.

The Healing Room:

Professor Snape is sitting up in the bed he was placed in almost two days ago. At least this room has better painting then the Hospital Wing in Hogwarts. I am still hurting and I know I don't want to face Albus Dumbledore this soon. I still can't figure out who saved me and the mark is gone! Madam checked everywhere and to see if a spell is hiding it and still came up with nothing. Why does James Potter keep popping into my head? Oh Merlin! I now owe Potter my life again!

"Professor?" Ginny questioned from behind the door. "May I come in?"

"If you must!" Snap shouted in a grim mood.

Ginny slowly opened the door and quickly said, "My mum is getting Headmaster at this very moment."

"Oh goody!" Snape exclaimed angrily.

Ginny tried her hardest not to giggle, knowing that he would only get angrier. She quickly came into the room and shut the door behind her, "I don't have much time. What happened?"

Snape's right eyebrow raised its self with a questioning look on his face then he sneered, "Why do you want to know?"

"Because believe it or not, Professor, I care about you," Ginny answered with a slight pink appearing on her face. I cannot believe I told him that!

"Is that true, Ms. Weasley?" Snape asked.

She glared at him and replied, "Yes and the person who saved you must have felt the same way."

"I don't think so," Snape replied. "The person who saved me hates me and I hate him."

Ginny looked at confused, "What do you mean? Do you actually think that?"

"He's saved me before, I now owe a dead man my life, again," Snape mumbled.

Ginny looked at him for a moment then asked, "Why are you so angry at Harry? He didn't do anything to you."

"James Potter did though."

"Harry isn't his father and I think you're too blind to see it. You keep punishing him for a past that isn't his. I believe it's time for you stop living in the past and start living in the present," Ginny replied boldly.

"Ms. Weasley!" Snape exclaimed. "I should take house points away for that remark!"

"Sir, I hate to say this; but school doesn't start again for another month," Ginny said while holding back a giggle.

"OUT OF MY WAY"

"I should leave now. Professor Dumbledore is here," Ginny said quietly. "But I'll come back after he leaves, if that is all right with you."

"You may and bring you're homework with you, you told me that you don't understand the book that the summer homework is assigned from," Snape said quickly. Ginny nodded and then quickly left the room. She didn't want to get in the way of an angry Dumbledore.

About five minutes later, Dumbledore came blazing into the room, "Explained!" The old man demanded. Snape winced and was about to speak when...

CLIFFHANGER!
