"What the hell is going on? Should I offer you up to the crowd--" Lupin pointed behind himself. "--or should I save your hind and let the wizard's courts kill you later."

Severus shrugged, "Either way I die."

"LEAVE!" Hermione suddenly screamed, turning towards him. "Leave. You'll be killed. You might as well be committing suicide if you stay. Leave!"

His eyes contacted with hers, holding her captive as he said, "Not without you."

"Oh god," she muttered, looking at him. "Go."

Severus grabbed her arm, pulling to him. Lupin yelled his incantation, but they were already gone.
