Elven Tresses: Thanks so much for reviewing! Yeah, I was going to have him kiss her, but I decided not to when that idea came to me. Lol it's fine, you can tell me whatever you want.

Chapter 11

Just Grit Your Teeth and Do It

"Oof! Ron, you landed on me." Harry said in a muffled voice after the three friends had made a rather rocky landing in a small town.

"Sorry, mate. It's 'Mione's fault. She just had to grab our hands." Ron said as he got off of Harry and helped him to his feet. Hermione was waiting impatiently.

"Hurry up. I don't want to interrupt his lunch, and it's nearly that time."

"Too right it is." Ron said as his stomach gave a loud rumble.

"I don't want to interrupt him at all." Harry said, but just so Ron could hear.

Ron laughed.

" 'Mione, please isn't there anything else we can do?" Harry asked as he caught up with her.

"No. Now, come on!" She quickened her pace.

"This place just looks like Snape. I'm including the dirty river in that description too." Ron said, wrinkling his nose.

"Wait. Hermione…where are we?" Harry asked, clearly stalling.

"Spinners End. That's Snape's house right there." She said brightly, pointing to a gloomy looking house at the end of the street.

They walked in silence for a few minutes until they reached the house.

Hermione stuck out her hand to knock, but Harry stopped her.

"Hermione, wait."

"Oh, Harry, just grit your teeth and do it." She said, and knocked.

A curtain twitched in another room of the house.

"We should've dressed up as Death Eaters." Ron whispered excitedly to Harry.

Hermione glared at him, and raised her hand to knock again.

The door flew open before she had the chance.

"Get in." Snape was standing in front of them looking angry.

"Maybe not." Ron whispered hastily to Harry.

Harry bit his lip to keep from laughing.

Snape nearly pushed Harry to the floor in his haste to shut the door.

"What," He hissed, turning quickly around, (Ron jumped), "were you thinking? This is a Muggle populated area…and you don't even have the decency to look like Muggles!"

"We did have the decency not to pop right into your home, in case you didn't notice." Harry said coldly.

"And the reason we're so…um…inappropriately dressed, Professor, is that, well it's rather urgent…" Hermione trailed off and looked at Harry, who took her hint.

"Ginny's in some sort of coma." Harry said heavily.

"Why don't we sit down?" Snape asked.

Glancing at each other they followed him into his living room.

"Go on, Mr. Potter."

"Well, we think Lucius Malfoy hit her with…um…what was it Hermione?"

"The Eternus Somnus Curse." Hermione said quickly.

"Yes, that. And well…it says that I have to make the potion and I was just wondering if you would mind helping me…not necessarily helping me, but just, um, being there and making sure I don't…um…"

"Mess up?" Snape supplied.

"Yeah." Harry said, coloring.

"Let me see the instructions, please." Snape said.

Harry and Ron exchanged looks while Hermione got the book out of her bag. Since when had Snape been…well…civil?

Snape read the potion quickly.

"Potter, do you know what is in this potion?" He asked.

"Erm…sort of."

"Come here."

Harry 'came'.

"Look at this." Snape tapped the book with his wand and words highlighted themselves until the book looked like this:

Eternus Somnus Reversal Potion

7 unicorn hairs

2 lacewings

1 drop blood from both the enchanted one, and the enchanted one's true love.

1 lock of hair from the above

Powdered unicorn horn

Blood from the curser

"I see it." Harry said.

"You realize that you have to obtain these things yourself?"

"Yes."

"Well. Collect them and meet me here tomorrow at the same time. Oh, and do try and Apparate if you insist on wearing robes."

"Thanks." Harry said, and as he Apparated, he could have sworn Snape gave him a faint smile.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Well that was—" Hermione began, but stopped when she noticed no one was there yet.

"Weird! Since when has Snape been so nice?" Ron said as he appeared.

Harry popped in.

"I think he smiled at me."

"What?" Ron yelped.

"Yeah. I think he's changed."

"Harry." Ron grinned, sure that he was joking, "This is Snape. C'mon. You know he hasn't changed."

"I dunno, Ron. He did fight on our side…any why's he doing this for me? He's changed, Ron. He has to have."

"I'll believe it when I see it." Ron said smirking.

"Oh shut up! Ron, listen, you did see it. He's changed. Get it through that thick skull of yours." Hermione said tiredly.

"Fine. He's changed. Let's go get the stuff we need for Ginny." Ron said.

"Wait…Harry…I have an idea. How about Ron and I get the lacewings and have Hagrid get us the unicorn stuff."

"But Snape said I had to do it all by myself."

"He was talking about the highlighted ingredients, Harry."

"Hair and blood from me, Gin, and Malfoy?"

"Yes."

"Well, that's not very hard."

"If you say so." Hermione left it at that and took Ron's arm before Apparating.

Harry shook his head.

"'Mione's mental. I can get hair and blood just fine." Harry said.

He shook his head again before Apparating.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Perfect." Harry grinned as he opened his eyes to find that he'd Apparated right outside Ginny's room.

He entered, and was shocked to see….

OoOoOoOoO

A/N: I think I'll leave it right there. It seems like such a great place to stop you know? I mean…..honestly…who wouldn't WANT to leave it there? They've just now gotten to the good part…and Snape's going to help them! Not to mention the fact that something's going on in Ginny's room that shocked Harry. Let me tell you, not a lot of things shock Harry. It's got to be something HUGE. Maybe. But you know what…I have a feeling that you would all just hate me if I left it right there…I'd be sure to get some very very nasty reviews but you don't have to worry because this is all a huge joke. Keep reading! Haha! I wish I could see the look on your faces. Kat

OoOoOoOoOoO

Janice.

"Oh um…hi." He stammered as she looked up from testing Ginny.

"Come to visit?" Janice asked pleasantly.

"Erm…no not really…I-I need some hair and blood of Ginny's." He said nervously.

"Why?" Janice asked suspiciously.

"A potion that'll cure her."

"What kind of potion?"

"It's….Hermione can explain it loads better…but she got hit with some weird word curse that means she's in an everlasting sleep and the only way that she'll wake up is if I make the potion and I—"

"Harry!" Janice held up a hand, "Its fine. I'll get the blood, and you can take her hair."

"No! I…I have to do it. It's in the book."

"Oh, ok. Here, take your wand, put it right here on her vein and say 'Crurorem'."

"Uh, ok." Harry sighed and suddenly it hit him what Hermione had meant about how hard it was. He didn't want to hurt her.

"C-Crurorem."

There was a white flash and a stream of blood shot out of Ginny's arm. Janice caught it in a vile and handed it to Harry while she healed Ginny's wound.

After getting the hair and blood, Harry left, shaking. He was smiling though.

'I can't wait to get Malfoy.' He thought.

OoOoOoOoOoO

A/N: Ok, now I can let it go. I hope ya'll like it! Oh and just to let you know, don't expect an update until like maybe Saturday or Sunday. I skipped school today b/c my niece was born and this week is going to be hectic, but I will update! I promise! Bye!
