Hermione held her latest letter from Harry in her hands; it had been almost two months since she was forced to leave Hogwarts. Sealing her own letter she put it in the middle of the kitchen table.
"Severus I have another letter for Harry when you go to class would you give it to Professor Dumbledore. I would do it myself if the floo didn't make me dizzy." Hermione looked over at Severus hoping for and answer. Her dizzy spells were getting worse.
"I don't like you going through the floo with out me Hermione." Severus reached for the letter. "I don't see why you are still sick. Maybe you caught a muggle illness?"
"Severus I have no idea what I have. If I did I wouldn't still be sick." Hermione got up from the table and rounded on him. "You're going to be late for class dear." Hermione gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Hermione I am not going to be late," Severus got up from his chair. "I made tea; I added something to make you feel better. I am going to talk to Dumbledore to see if he knows anything about the potions Poppy gave you. I think you might have some kind of side effects from them. She doesn't know that you shouldn't mix them together unless you know that they won't cancel each other out or harm the patient. You know the drill, don't let anyone though the floo. Keep the wards up. Don't drop them for anyone not even me. I'll be home by seven. Stay out of my room."
"Severus you don't have to tell me every time you leave the house what I can't do. I have been here almost two months I know the drill." Hermione pulled a cup out of the cabinet. "Leave Severus now before you are late, you have NEWT potions first thing and you have a reputation to keep."
Severus nodded his head. "Alright I'm leaving get some sleep. If you would stop throwing up I would start trying to get your memory back." Severus walked over to the fire place "Headmaster's Office". As the flames turned green Severus was gone.
Hermione shook her head. "He always has to have a dramatic entrance doesn't he?" Laughing to herself she slowly began to drink her tea. As she finished her stomach retched. "Not again" Hermione jumped out of her chair and made her way into the lavatory barely making it to the toilet. After she emptied her stomach for the second time that morning she got up from her seat in front of it. Flushing the toilet she made her way to the sink, taking out her toothbrush she began to rid herself of the taste of her breakfast. I hope Severus can figure out what is wrong with me. I hate being this sick, soon I won't be able to keep anything down. Finishing up her chore she made her way to her bedroom, taking off her robe she crawled into bed. She fell asleep just as her eyes closed.
"Severus how nice to see you this morning," Albus greeted Severus as his fireplace lit green. "Running a little late today aren't we my boy?"
"Miss Granger is still sick and she had another for Potter" Severus pulled out the letter. "I am off to teach a subject to a hand full of students who don't take it seriously. I will also deliver the letter. And I need to talk with you later." Severus left the office making his way to his class room.
Harry sat in his seat in NEWT potions. There was something wrong, Snape was never late. "I wonder where Snape is" he whispered to Ron
Before Ron could answer Snape entered the room his black robes swiping in behind him. "You will be making a Dreamless Sleep Potion the directions are on the board." Snape snapped, "I do not believe you need to be shown where everything is after seven years. NOW BEGIN!"
Two hours later Snape looked up from his desk. "Everyone bottle up six vials and turn them in. If by some miracle your potion is anywhere near Miss Granger's would have been you will get extra points. And Potter you will see me after class."
The class quickly bottled up their potions and as soon as Professor Snape dismissed the class they were gone. Harry slowly made his way to Snape's desk.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" Harry asked finally making it to Snape's desk.
"As I was on my way to my class I was pulled away to play barn owl." Severus pulled the letter from his pocket. "I am not an owl Mr. Potter 20 points from Gryffindor and a detention with Professor Binns get out of my site."
"I didn't ask you to do that for me, sir. I don't see why I am being punished for it." Harry yelled.
"Watch yourself Potter, I know your still sore that someone had Miss Granger before you could does not mean you can take it out on a Professor, 20 more points from Gryffindor. NOW GET OUT OF MY SITE NOW BEFORE I MAKE IT A HUNDRED POTTER." Snape yelled.
"Yes, Sir" Harry snatched the letter from Snape and walked out of the class room.
"I figured you would come during lunch so I ordered us some sandwiches please sit down" Albus walked behind his desk and sat down. He grabbed a sandwich before he continued. "How can I help you Severus?"
Severus ate a sandwich before he cleared his throat. "Its about Miss Granger she's very sick and I have tried everything. I want you to get me Miss Granger's infirmary records. I believe she might be having a bad reaction to all of them. I want to help her, but I don't want to harm her more then she has already been harmed."
"I can get you the information by the end of the day." Albus replied eating another sandwich.
Severus stood up, "I have to leave Headmaster someone has gone though the ward of my house. I fear for Miss Granger's safety." Looking at Dumbledore he waited for his answer. Catching his nod, he activated the floo, "Snape Manor". Again the fire turned green and the potion's master was gone.
Hermione sat in the corner shaking terribly. She still didn't understand how it happened. She had been very careful about the wards. Tears wouldn't stop falling from her red eyes, the salt stinging the gash on her cheek. Her eyes opened in shook when the fireplace lit green. Pulling herself into a tighter ball she waited for her end to come.
"Miss Granger what did I tell you about the wards, they were to be up at all times" Severus yelled as he walked out of the hearth looking around the room he knew something bad had happened and was surprised to find her in the corner shaking. "Hermione what happened," Severus began to walk closer to her.
Hermione got up from her spot and ran over to her professor. Clutching his robes she cried into his chest.
Severus was stiff; he didn't know what to do. Usually he was the reason that a female was crying it was different to be the one being cried to. "Hermione I need you to tell me what happened, if you don't tell me I can't help you" Severus carefully rubbed her back waiting for her to stop crying.
"I…I can't" Hermione cried rubbing her face into Severus' cloak, "It, it hurts too much."
Severus continued to rub Hermione's back. "Would you be willing to put your memories into a pensive so I can see what happened?"
Hermione pulled back and looked up at Severus; red eyes meet dark brown ones. "Yes, I'll do it," Hermione hiccupped. "Just tell me what to do" her voice was just above a whisper.
"Follow me Hermione," Severus took her hand in his and led her out of the living room and into his study. "Please sit down while I set up." Hermione only nodded in response.
Tears slowly ran down her cheeks again. Severus shook his head, Why me? Sticking his hand into his trouser pocket he pulled out a black handkerchief and an old skeleton key. "Please stop crying Hermione you are going to make yourself sick again. Here use this." Severus handed her the handkerchief. Taking off his teaching robes and frock coat he placed them next to Hermione and walked over to his desk. He bent down to the bottom drawer and inserted the key; with a small click it was open. Slowly he carefully stood up bringing a small pensive with him. Placing it on the desk he called Hermione over.
Hermione nodded her head and carefully made her way over to Severus. "I have never done this before" her voice was scratchy and weak.
"I will do it for you; all you have to do is think carefully about what happened today. When you are done nod your head and I will begin."
Hermione thought for a minute before she spoke, "Alright I'm ready."
Severus pulled his wand out of his sleeve he placed the tip on her temple, "It will feel weird, not uncomfortable." Murmuring a quick spell he gently pulled his wand away from her temple silver threads following his wand. Waving his wand over the pensive the memories fell into the silver water. "Hermione are you feeling any dizziness? I will walk you over to the couch. I want you to rest while I go though your memories."
"I feel like I lost something important" Hermione put her hand on Severus' elbow. "I do feel like a nap."
Severus nodded, and walked Hermione over to the couch. "If you need anything call Krispie" As Hermione laid down on the couch Severus picked up his teaching robe and cover her up. "I shouldn't be that long." Walking back over to his desk he pulled out a muggle black ponytail holder. Tying up his hair he went into the pensive.
Severus looked around the room, he found himself in Hermione's bedroom. As he turned to head for the door he saw Hermione exit the bathroom, her face was really pale. Hermione tied her robe closed and headed out of the bedroom. Severus followed her out.
Hermione heard the wards drop, "Severus you are home early."
Walking to the front door Hermione screamed. Severus started to run towards the entry.
"Hello Mudblood fancy seeing you here." Severus froze he recognized the voice. This is not good. The dark lord will have my head for this.
I know its very short but I promise you the next chapter will be even longer.
