The Love of a Student

They entered the room, and Professor Dumbledore strode to the bed where Severus lay, sleeping peacefully. He sat down on the edge of the bed and pushed the curtain of hair from his face.
"I'm so sorry my dear boy, I should have sent you with something. Instead I let my plans blind me and sent you into danger without anything to appease Tom." he sighed. Miss Granger? Would you mind, for the next few days, checking in on him to make sure he's ok every so often?"
"Of course not Headmaster. I'll stay with him tonight, and tomarrow I'll come in to check on him every three hours." she smiled.
"Thank you Miss Granger." he returned her smile. "I suppose I'll have to get Remus to sub for awhile. I'm sure Harry will like that."
"I'm sure the whole school, with the possible exeptions of Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy, will love it sir."
"Well, goodnight Miss Granger."
"Goodnight Headmaster." She sat down in a chair in a corner, near the fire to wait.

Severus did not wake before breakfastso she left, leaving a note saying she, on Dumbledore's request, would check in on him later, that a house elf would bring him breakfast, and that Dumbledore said he wasn't to get out of bed. She knew he wouldn't like it, but would obey.
She sat down atthe Gryffindor table.
"Where were you last night?" Harry asked.
"What?" she asked.
"Lavender said you didn't come back last night, where were you?" Ron chimed in. She sighed and told them what happend.
"Voldemort tortured him and had him beat because he had no information? I suppose he really is on our side then, there's alot he could have told," Harry said.
"I've been telling you from the begining he's not on his side, but do you listen? No," She said exhasperated. "Oh, Lupin's subbing till Snape's well enough."
"Really? That's great!" Ron said. She nodded absently.
