An Angel's Voice

Chapter 34: A New Threat

Dumbledore walked into the hospital wing and saw Hermione sitting on an empty bed, Pompy standing right next to her picking up a tray after leaving some potions for Hermione. Pompy looked up and saw Dumbledore she whispered something to Hermione and she nodded.

"What's wrong," Dumbledore asked.

"Just a small headache," Pompy replied. "I don't think it's anything too serious. They stood in silence for a moment or two, both staring at the Gryffindor Princess.

"I needed to talk to Mrs. Granger about some things," he said softly and Pompy nodded before leaving the two in the infirmary room. Dumbledore looked over to Hermione and walked over to her, "penny for your thoughts, Mrs. Granger?"

Hermione jumped from her Headmaster's voice, "no sir, it's all good."

Dumbledore raised his glasses and a 'mhmm.' "You sure about that," he asked.

Hermione sighed and then shook her head looking at the ground. "No," she said pathetically. She lifted her head, "where could he be, Headmaster? It's been a month and still no sign of him. Couldn't you just cast a spell so he wouldn't be on the run all the time?"

Dumbledore sighed and sat down next to Hermione, "Ohhhh, Mrs. Granger, if only I could. But you know it's not that simple. The war is growing closer and if I could end it with a simple spell…I would."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hermione," Harry called out as he walked over to her in the Gryffindor Commons. Hermione was walking back and forth, lost in her own thought.

"Something's wrong, Harry! I don't know how, but I can feel it, Harry! Severus is hurt and I got to find him," Hermione said walking towards the door.

"Hermione," Harry grabbed her shoulder to get her to listen to him, "you don't even know where he is, it's already past eleven and the forest is dangerous at this time! Do you not realize that you're probably putting yourself into more trouble just by leaving Hogwarts? It's safe here—"

"—Don't you realize it was never safe in the beginning, Harry," Hermione asked him. "It's never safe, Harry! Unless Voldemort is gone, it'll never be safe."

Harry looked at Hermione and realized he couldn't kid himself anymore. He knew this. He just hoped there was a way that where it was safe. That Hogwarts was safe.

"Hermione," his voice was broken, "you can't leave us here."

Hermione sighed heavily and shook her head, "I need to get out of here."

"Where are you going?"

"I just can't be…here," Hermione pushed pass Harry and ran till she was near the tower...where it all started, where she was caught by Severus. Where a story she thought would not turn like this. She closed the door behind her and walked towards the window and collapsed on the ground, crying. "I can't do this anymore! I can't…I can't…" She continued crying not realizing Draco happened to be right behind her and walked towards her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hermione," Draco whispered as he knelt down behind her and wrapped his arms around her shaking form. Hermione jumped and looked back to Draco and cried even harder. "Shhh…"

"Why can't I see him anymore," Hermione asked.

Draco didn't answer the question, knowing he shouldn't. Hermione lifted herself up and leaned against the wall; Draco moved with her and continued to hold her. It was strange yet comforting still…rare to see the Slytherin boy actually being…nice. Hermione slowly calmed down a little bit, hiccups here and there.

"Sing me a song, Draco," Hermione whispered. Draco looked down at her with a questioning look, "please?"

Draco paused for a second to think, "I don't have my guitar with me though." Hermione called her guitar to her and handed it to Draco. "I could have done that…"

Hermione made a small laugh and then leaned closer to Draco and closed her eyes, waiting to play a song.

Hermione listened to the first tune of the tune and heard it sounded familiar. Draco began to strum the guitar. Then he began to hum…a lot…

(Soft guitar rhythm)

"Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mmmm

Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mmmm

Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mm—"

"Draco, what are you singing," Hermione asked him. Draco stopped singing, but still played the song.

"What? Never heard of this song before?"

"No…" she shook her head and stared at him as if he had just told her he's pregnant. "Is there any other words to this song?"

"Oh, I'll give you words," Draco said with excitement. It was at this point that Hermione was actually scared about him.

"Sleep little one
tomorrow's more fun
we'll dance in the rain
and we'll sing in the sun

I think you're the best
but you're being a pest
you know that I love you
but I need my rest"

Hermione almost fell over laughing at him.

"If you love me
you will go pee

With a weird look from Hermione, Draco kept on a straight face.

put on your pajamas
and then go to sleep

please little friend
get in your bed
and let the adventures
be dreams in your head

sleep little one
tomorrow's more fun
we'll dance in the rain
and we'll sing in the sun

Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mmmm

Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mmmm

Hmmm…mmmmhmmm…mmmmm…hmmmmmmmmmm mmmm…"

Hermione made one more final laugh as Draco was wrapping the song up. "Wow, Draco…did you come up on that all by yourself."

"I was making it up as I went."

Hermione looked up at Draco and shook her head, a smile still on her face. "Thanks, Draco…it was an interesting song…keep at it," she said awkwardly.

Draco stood up and helped Hermione up and before Hermione blinked, his face was back to a scowl. "You better not tell anybody I sang to you, Granger," he spat.

Hermione looked at him, her mouth open. Just like that he was back to a Malfoy. "I don't get you, Malfoy," she commented, but not saying it out of disgust. She headed towards the door, but turned back to Malfoy, "Can I have my guitar back?"

Draco handed it back to her gently. He nodded before leaving the room, before Hermione had time to reply. Hermione sighed and whispered, "Thank you," before leaving the room, too.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione came back to the room and saw the sofa empty and the room deserted. She was too tired from previous activates and sat herself on the couch and soon fell deeply into sleep

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione woke up the next day and walked down the steps and entered the Great Hall and saw on the front of the room a piano. She moved closer to it as if it would take all her pain away. Tears fell down her cheek and she sat down and played the piano with a soothing, yet creepy tune. Breakfast was going to be soon, but Hermione didn't care.

(Piano intro)

Hermione fluttered her eyes open finding herself back onto the secluded island. The sky hovered her was dark red and the marble had turn to black instead of the pink marble. The arch was broken and different pieces were scattered onto the ground. The fence was wrecked in all different directions, the curtain torn and hanging just barely onto the string.

("Playground school bell rings…again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello…I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello…")

The ocean's current came crashing onto the shore violently.

"Everything's been trashed, Hermione," Severus commented from behind her.

Hermione turned quickly towards him and gasped at the sight.

His clothes were torn and some blood still on his clothes, his face held bruises that made him still wince, his hair wasn't sleeked and neatly combed, it was all in knots.

"Severus," she ran towards him, "what happened to you. Come here."She moved him towards the bed and noticed he was limping. When she finally got him to lie down for her she tried to clean him up, but was stopped by Severus' hand.

"Hermione," he said hoarsely, "remember, we're not in reality."

Hermione stared down at him and moved her hand down to his stomach. "So what you're saying is that I can't heal you even if I did clean your wounds?"

Severus nodded sadly, he lifted his hand up to cup her cheek.

("If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry…")

"I'm still here love," Severus whispered with a gentle smile.

"But you're not here, here, Severus," Hermione whimpered.

"I can only talk for a small while. I need you to know something though."

"What," Hermione let tears fall onto his chest.

"You need to know that if I can't ever see you again that I love you."

"Don't say that, Severus," Hermione's heart ached with fear.

"I need you to do me a favor. The Dark Lord ordered Pansy to plan a pre-attack on the school sometime this week. I overheard Lucius speak about this. You need her to get her to tell you who the other accomplice is…the other one is among one of the Ravenclaw. I don't know who, though," slowly Severus's body began to fade.

"Severus, what's happening?!"

"Bellatrix got a hold of me and I don't know where I am now, but—" Severus yelled in pain, "Ahhhhh!! She's been casting Crucio's ever since I've been out," he hissed in pain. He tried to come up with a small chuckle, "that's why I'm so bloodied up. Inside and—AHHHH!!! I have to go, the spell she cast on me is waking me up. I love you, Hermione…"

("Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday…")

Hermione grabbed his hand and held tightly, "please! Severus, stay with me! I love you so much," before Hermione could utter a word, Severus was gone from her sight. Hermione sat down alone and cried herself to sleep…she was alone.

Hermione finished the song and glared deathly at Pansy. She was going to pay and Hermione wasn't going to let her by.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wake up, Severus,"

"Severus," a soft woman's voice sang with a cackle. "Awww, Severus, you're not being fun anymore!" She pointed her wand towards Severus, who lay motionless on the ground, she lifted him up with a spell and threw him up in the air and then back down. She repeated this several times, laughing at her own amusement at the scene.

Lucius strolled in and stared at his sister-in-law and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't our Lord tell you not to play with him, Bella?"

Bellatrix looked over to Lucius, "I'm only loosening him up," she looked at him with a flirtatious look. "I'm not going to kill him…" Bellatrix looked as if she was going to consider that option then shook her head. "Course not!"

Lucius chuckled at her look and then walked over to Severus' body. "Has he woken up yet," he asked, still staring at the betrayer.

"No…and I want him to. Having fun with someone when the other person is out cold isn't fun." Bellatrix said, a frown beginning to form.

"Well maybe you aren't waking him up properly."

"I've yelled his name out loud, cast the Cruciatus Curse on him dozens of times, and threw him from wall to wall, ceiling to floor and back again…"

"What spell did you use, again?"

"I don't remember…I heard Rabastan say it one time to this kid when I was little," Bellatrix commented slowly.

Lucius glared at Bella, "You mean to tell me that you just said a spell and you chose now of all timing to practice this on Snape without realizing what it was!!!"

Bellatrix stepped back at Lucius. He was livid. Then got angry at herself for being not too careful, but that only triggered her to get more angry at Lucius for yelling at her even more. "Don't yell at me! This wasn't my idea! The wolves were supposed to take care of him and if you hadn't let them take the task in the first place, this all would've been settled! So, fuck you, Lucius Malfoy!"

Lucius looked at, "you're a crazy bitch…"

Bellatrix laughed, "so I've been told."

"Especially since you basically turned the light into a different color than it was suppose to…"

"Oh, it's just a new scare these days."

"Sort of like 'bitch is the new witch," Lucius commented with a smirk when he saw Bellatrix eyes turn darker with anger.

Rodolphus walked into the basement and saw Bella arguing with Lucius. "I'm gone for a few minutes and you two are already stirring up trouble for our Dark Lord."

Bellatrix stared at her husband, "good to see you, too, Rodolphus," she said with a tight nod to the left.

Rodolphus responded with a small smirk before having his face back to a blank expression, "so what happened here?"

Lucius rolled his eyes and glowered towards Bellatrix, "she used a spell and was dumb to use it. Not knowing the effects of it…"

Rodolphus looked over to Bellatrix and looked her up and down and moved closer to her causing Bellatrix to take a step back and lean against the wall. Rodolphus looked into her eyes, "so what spelled did you use, Bella," he asked, his wand moving down his wife's cheek to her neck before lowering the wand down between her breast.

Bellatrix looked up her husband and whispered, "It was an bewitched spell that Rebastan would use."

"So basically it was sleeping spell," Lucius stated. "And here I thought it was more deadly…"

Rodolphus shook his head, "somewhat, but I'm not sure how to get him out of it. Usually it'll last till another five hours or so…haven't used it really, to tell you the truth."

"Way to go, Bella," Lucius said sarcastically. "Hopefully our Lord is not in a foul mood to getting Severus up."

A/n: A few things happened. I enjoyed that song that Draco sang. It was…quite refreshing! :) Oooo! Hermione's on the kill! Watch out Pansy…I don't know if I should let Hermione have some fun with the girl or just do it quickly. That'll be the surprise. Oh and Bellatrix is not so much of a bright candle in this chapter…hehehe. I love her and all, but I just wanted a spat with the three Death Eaters! :)

Okay! That's for this one…sorry, but my muse was running short so I lost my inspiration. If any of you guys have any songs to offer that'd be great! :) Reviews are appreciated! :) Thank you soo much you guys! TTFN for now!! I hope you guys appreciate that I did seven pages on this chapter! :)
