Finding Love in War
Chapter 9- Added Protection at Dedham Manor
“Master Severus, Miss Hermione,” Eligh called from the hall.
“Huh? Eligh? What is it?” Severus asked as he slowly came awake and looked at the bedside clock. It read 4:15 a.m.
“I hate to wake you, but Master Dumbledore is here,” Eligh said.
“We’ll be right there,” Hermione called as she and Severus instantly came awake.
The couple threw on their dressing gowns, grabbed their wands, and hurried from their room. They rushed downstairs and into the study. They found Albus sitting in one of the chairs with a cup of tea.
“Has something happened?” Severus demanded.
“Yes, but nothing bad,” Albus answered.
Hermione and Severus let out a sigh of relief. “If nothing’s wrong, you better have a good reason for showing up at four in the morning. Come to think of it…how did you get here?” Hermione asked in a snarky tone.
“I see Severus is rubbing off on you,” Albus chuckled. “As to how I got here, I called for Eligh and he brought me,”
“So why are you here Albus?” Severus questioned.
Albus quickly explained about the potion that Ginny, Harry, Neville, and Ron brewed. Hermione and Severus were so shocked that they had to sit down or they were going to fall down.
“That potion is one even I have never attempted and I’ve been a potions Master for nearly eighteen years!” Severus exclaimed.
“That potion is even more complex than the Wolfsbane and Poly-juice combined,” Hermione added.
“I ran a series of spells and it is correct. Harry said for you to sprinkle the potion all along the perimeter of Dedham estate. As to how he knew how big the estate is, he brewed enough that would encompass Hogwarts grounds twice. That should be enough,” Albus explained.
“That’s more than enough. At sunrise, me, Hermione, and the elves will do as Mr. Potter instructed. I too have feared that Hadrian will attempt to destroy the wards and spells surrounding the estate,” Severus said.
Albus handed the potion to Severus, bid them good day, and left. Hermione and Severus went upstairs and dressed. A half hour before sun rise, Severus divided the potion, and he, Hermione, and the elves went out and began to sprinkle the potion around the perimeter.
“We’re finished,” Eligh said as he approached Severus and Hermione who were sitting on the front steps.
“Good. Hermione and I will be in for breakfast in a moment,” Severus nodded.
He held Hermione and let out a tired sigh. “Let’s get something to eat and then get a few more hours of sleep. Then we can continue our work on the anti-Cruciatious and anti-Killing potions,” Hermione said.
“I agree,” he nodded.
They entered the manor. After a quick breakfast hey retired back to their room for a bit more sleep before they began their days work on the potions.

“This is defiantly it Hadrian,” Russell stated.
Hadrian, Russell, and five others stood about five feet from the perimeter of Dedham estate. Hadrian could feel the power emanating from the land. He turned and found all six of his team spread out and their eyes closed in concentration.
“Well?” Hadrian asked.
“It will take a week or so to figure out how to break through the wards and charms. By Halloween at the latest,” one of the men named Derek replied.
“Perfect. I have plans for Halloween night,” Hadrian smiled evilly.
The six men took one last look at the area, committing it to memory, then they apparated away. There was much work to do before Halloween.

“You wanted to see me Professor Wyman?” Neville asked nervously as he entered the Potions classroom.
“Ah, Mr. Longbottom. Please come in,” Phil Wyman, the current Potions Professor said.
After Severus and Hermione went into hiding, Albus went to see Phil. He and Severus had trained together under Potions Master, Ian Lawman. Neville sat down at one of the desks and waited patiently.
“Now, first of all, you’re not in trouble. I have already spoken with Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. I just wanted to commend you on the potion you all brewed. I also know Miss Weasley helped as well. Her parents will be receiving a letter from me.
“I was going over Professor Snape’s records and found his notations about you, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Weasley. I don’t understand how the three of you had such a hard time under him, but are doing almost perfect with me,” Phil explained.
“I don’t know about Harry and Ron, but I’m a bit terrified of Professor Snape. Or I was, but not anymore. I just seemed to get flustered when Professor Snape is around,” Neville sighed.
“Well, just remember what we discussed in September and you should be fine. Now, you had better run along, it’s nearly curfew. I will write your grandmother and let her know how well you are doing as well as your part in brewing that potion,” Phil said with a smile.
Neville bid Phil good night and left. Phil shook his head and put the papers away and locked the drawer. After locking the classroom, he made his way toward his rooms just down the corridor.
‘Severus old friend, I think you’ve under estimated your students,’ Phil thought as he entered his chambers.
