Doomsday

She crouched as the wall crumbled over her, shielding herself from the largest pieces. One still managed to hit her arm, though, and she cried out in pain. It was broken, she knew it was.

"Out of the way!" A voice came from somewhere. It sounded muffled, but maybe that was from the dust in her ears. "I said, move!" It sounded panicked now, and she lifted her head so see who it was.

The black eyes of Severus Snape where staring at her. His usually greasy hair was sprayed in all directions, and he, too, was covered in the dust from crumbling walls. He offered a hand for her, and she took it. Just in time, too. A much larger, deadly, piece of wall hit just where she had been crouching.

"Thank you, Professor," she managed before he pulled her in the direction of the rest of the fight.

"Please," he said as they ran from the dying school, "Call me Severus."

She glanced up at him from the corner of her eye, her short legs trying to keep up with his long ones. "Thank you, Severus," she corrected.

A small smile was seen gracing his lips as they continued into the midst of the fight. If this day was to be his last, at least he had someone who would cry for him.

He hoped, at least.
