Storming down her hallway looking so angry even Voldermort would think twice before attacking her, she stopped and paced in front of Snape's office and he looked furious as he rounded the corner from the hospital wing.

"In" he growled as he unlocked the door

"Sit" he ordered as he rounded the desk chucking his over coat over the back of his chair and rolling up his sleeves "What do you think you are doing!"

"I'M NOT GOING TO STAND THERE AND TAKE HIS CRAP!" she growled

"5 points for the use of expressive language, 50 for hexing a potter and another 50 for giving Malfoy what he deserves"

"Wait…what?" she asked confused

"I obviously have to take them all away now but just so you know I would let you keep them if I could so 150 points from Gryffindor"

"150!"

"I can't let you have the same amount you started with, plus you need to be punished"

"Urgh" she growled jumping up and pacing not even notice Snape flick his wand at the door so it locked and silenced. He grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Hermione…"

"Professor" she spat and he pushed her against the desk to get her attention

"Hermione…" he growled slightly this time his hand sliding up to her cheek forcing her to look in his eyes 'this is what she trying to avoid knowing she would melt at his gaze' he felt her instantly relax a little

"Severus… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap, but every time I look into those grey lifeless eyes it brings back all the anger, the regret, the sorrow…" a tear streaming down her cheek the after effects of the anger.

He pulled her close and pressed his lips to her hair, "Im not going to lie it's never going to stop hurting Hermione, but in time, It will get easy to deal with, I know you get the days when you just want to curl up and block the whole world out but you can't you have to keep trying, they wouldn't want you to give up would they? And they certainly wouldn't want you to sink as low as them, love conquers all and you shall see them again on day, that I promise you"

Hermione pulled away and kissed him passionately

"Your still angry aren't you?" he chuckled and she nodded as she slid her hands up his shirt and pulled him in kissing her he started to walk her backwards into the store room hands roaming her lips parted from him and his tongue traced her bottom lip earning a slight moan from Hermione. "Imagine what the rest can do" he chuckled in her ear as he playfully kissed and nipped down her throat while reaching for the hidden button. As the door slid open she pulled him back to her lips, unbuttoning his shirt, and pulling him towards her bedroom.

"Not a chance we are going to mine" he chuckled as she slid his shirt off and he started unbuttoning hers, undoing it much faster than she had with his, pushing her through his door, and up against a bed post sliding a hand up her skirt.

"Severus…" she whispered as he kissed down her body, feasting on the flesh in all the right ways and places. "Please…"

"Please what?" he smirked as her hands wound in his hair

"Do something…"

Pushing her on the bed he pulled her skirt off and quickly rid himself of his trousers, their underwear followed close behind. His hands could work wonders but he stopped just before she reached her limit, teasing her.

"I hate you sometimes" she growled lust thick in her voice

"Well I'm glad it's only sometimes or this would be a very love-hate relationship… Ready?" she nodded in response "This will hurt, I'm sorry" he said and pushed into her, she winced in pain "Are you okay"

"Yes" she whispered breathlessly and at that he slowly began pushing in and out of her getting faster as they moaned in unison.

"Holy Crap!" she yelled as he pushed her over the edge of her control but he continued until he was in the same state as she was panting and pulling out and rolling to the side, covering them with the quilt, she curled up to him.

"Ouch"

"What?"

"The dark… Voldermort's calling me, I have to go" he said and they both stood pulling on their clothes.

"Come back in one piece please"

"I will, I promise" he said kissing her like it was the first and the last time, they broke apart and he pressed his forehead against hers

"I love you" he smiled "To the edges of the furthest universe"

"I love you to" she choked out over the lump in her throat and just like that he was gone leaving herself to occupy her over active mind.

"Severus… you took your time"

"Sorry, I was in the shower My Lord" he bowed

"Hmmm… I don't usually call you here in school hours but I'm disappointed in you" he hissed

'No, no, no this isn't good' "Why my Lord, I have done nothing wrong?"

"Draco here disagrees; he believes you have been neglecting your duty and I agree, you have not given us one useful piece of information in the past month, I am merciful Severusss, but even the most merciful men run out of patience… Crucio" he hissed

Snape collapsed to the floor screaming in agony, he had not had time to prepare himself, to relax, his muscles convulsed, cutting his head on a sharp rock as he collided with the floor, feeling the warm stickiness of his blood run down his cheek.

"Get up!" and he did as he was told, summoning the little strength he had left "Crucio" this timed the pain seemed so much worse, screaming, hands balling up his own nails used against him as they cut into his palms.

"Up!" he was order panting, he barely managed to push himself up, he wanted to beg for a release from this hell be he had promised himself and Hermione he would go back. "Take off your shirt" hands trembling he slid it off his shoulders muscles protesting profusely.

"Malfoy, Yaxley restrain him" cold hands wrapped around his arms bruisingly, the others pressed against the back of his shoulders jerking his arms backwards, his knees got kicked out and he was knelt before the man he hated so much, completely at his mercy.

It looked like he was floating as he approached him and backhand slapped him, the riddle family ring slicing his cheek and lip. With a crushing kick to his ribs he lurched forward coughing up blood. A snake like had seized his face and forced him to look into Voldermort's eyes "Don't disappoint me again, sectumsepra" he growled a hot agonising blade of magic cutting his ribs right down to the bone "Get out of my sight" and he didn't need to be told twice seizing his shirt while shooting Draco a murderous glare before apparating away.

Hermione heard his arrival and knew it couldn't be good when he stumbled against the desk, preparing herself for the worst she still got a shock when she saw the true extent of his injuries His was covered in blood and mud, paler than ever before. Managing to send a patronus to Madam Pomfrey and grabbed a towel pressing it the cut on his ribs which was the worst of them all.

"Severus… Severus, stay awake, I need you, we all need you" she begged tears streaming down her face.

"Hermione, you are by far the brightest witch of all time, but your also the nicest and most beautiful person anyone could wish for and I'm so happy I have you, I love you and I always will no matter what, you are the light in my darkness, nothing can be that bad now I've got you, remember that promise you made me, that you'd never give up no matter what, it's time for that promise to come into action" he smiled weakly

"I love you so much, but we are not saying goodbye, promise me you won't give up"

"I'm sorry" he smiled bringing his bloodied hand up to her cheek as Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore and Lupin burst in.

Dumbledore's frail but strong arms pulled her away and handed her to Remus who restrained her when Albus and Poppy worked over him, summoning him a bed to take him to the hospital wing, Hermione had given up fighting and had resorted to crying hysterically into Lupin's chest

"I'm not sure if he's going to make it or not Albus" whispered Poppy grimly who was looking at Hermione gravely "I hope he does, for all our sake, it will destroy her if he doesn't"

Dear Diary,

It's been four days and Severus still hasn't awoken, I heard Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore talking, she doesn't seem to think he has a chance but Dumbledore has more faith, I'm not sure if that's good or not because he always asks to much of Harry but maybe this is different, I just want him back I love him and my world is empty without him. I miss Harry and Ron to it's times like these when I realise how much I need them I should have just told them straight away instead of shouting it at them, they've been asking for me but Dumbledore said she is not available at the moment and said nothing more, I can't tell them about Severus yet and I won't, at least not until after graduations, earlier if I have no other chose. I'm going to ask Severus what he thinks I should do, if he ever awakes that is. Goodbye until Next Time.

Hermione still hadn't left his side, her hand clasped tightly around his bandaged one, she had barely slept and hadn't ate at all.

"Don't you think we should get her to eat?" asked Remus worriedly

"There's no point my dear boy, I've seen the love that plagues her heart, the only way she is going to move is if he dies or we use force and she will undoubtedly put up one hell of a fight, let her be with the one she loves"

"He won't know whether she's there or not" argued Minerva worried about her favourite student who was like a daughter to her.

"He will, one's who love each other as deeply as they do can sense each other's presence, she talks to him sometimes, I fear she is the only thing keeping him going and if we take her away he will undoubtedly die" as he said this Hermione leant down and kissed his forehead, whispering something in his ear a tear rolling down her cheek.

"What did she say?"

"I believe she said my world is empty without you, please come back"

Same as before please R&R constructive criticism is welcome but no hating thank you for all reading this far :)
