Title: Oblivion Arrives

Severus braced himself feeling a wand jabbing sharply into his ribs, and then the force of the hex's blast slamming Crookshanks body into the stairs; the impact breaking ribs and puncturing a lung, and warm blood flooding the body cavity.

He saw a green flash of light and thought it odd to hear himself curse as he ran after the intruder.

A softer sound of running feet became louder in concert with Hermione's cries of denial, "please, no, hang on, not Crooks…" But Snape only feels satisfaction, she is safe, and he feels tears falling on him when oblivion arrives.
