Title: Magnetics
Hermione, amazed with her work reached out to touch Crookshanks; he looked like he was sleeping. Snape stood at her side, examining the body with a strange shining of his still red eyes.
"Professor, what happened with the book? I mean what changed you?" she asked gingerly.
Snape's body stilled as he answered, "balanced wizards cannot touch a dark text without having their equilibrium disturbed. By touching the book, the dark magic draws towards itself. A human's power is normally greater than a book, and the flow is towards the greater source."
Hermione clarified abruptly, "a force similar to electromagnetism."
