Title: The Box

Hermione set the box next to Crookshanks.

Snape was idly swinging the chain. "Open the box Miss Granger and tell me what is in it."

She knew he was toying with her, but she went along with his game. Taking a deep breath she unlatched it and opened the lid. Her face paled as she looked at his smirking face. "It's a knife, a crystal knife," she said softly.

"The blade is quartz," he added dryly.

Hermione read the text again speaking in a subdued tone. "The day and night provide the rain. We provide the blood, our own blood."
