Doppelganger

AN: Hermione addresses the dream to Severus. The first attack of the order and we find out someone else cares for Hermione as well.

Chpt 13 First Attack of the Order

"I told you that dreams do come true." Hermione softly told him as she looked to him.

Severus stood at the door lost for a moment and then motioned her inside. "I'm sure I do not know what you are talking about."

Hermione walked in and looked to him. "I purposely dreamed about you tonight and I know you shared the same dream as I."

"You are mistaken witch. Do not feel that you owe me anything. You have no debt to me."

"You deny that you were dreaming about me?" She asked with interest.

"I have not dreamed of you at all. This is your foolish fantasy. I think the years of floating about with no body have addled your mind." He sneered to her. He could not afford to become attached to her no matter his feelings.

She looked to him. "Presented with the truth that you asked for in your dream and you still deny it."

He said nothing as Hermione observed him.

"This is what you dreamt Severus." Describing to him the dream exactly as it had transpired.

Severus listened to her as she finished and looked to him. "That is your dream Hermione. You are mistaken."

She was not surprised that he denied it. When she was connected to him in the dream world she was connected to his mind and knew that he pushed back any thoughts of love or connecting with someone away as he thought closeness and love made one weak.

"Fine. Continue to deny it. I'll see you tonight." She told him.

"If you come down here I will not answer my door." He snarled to her masking his discomfort.

Hermione walked to the door. "Who said anything about me coming down here Severus?"

Severus watched her leave and sat down in the chair in front of the fireplace. He cursed as he realized that she would not give up on this. He realized that she was somehow manipulating his dreams and that should be impossible without a potion.

Hermione walked into the Leaky Cauldron in her polyjuiced form from before and sat at the bar. Old Tom came up to her. "Miss you should not have come back here." He whispered to her.

She slid a note to him as she noticed the same group approach her as before. "Go Tom and read it. I assure you everything will be fine." She whispered back.

MacNair approached her and immediately bound her. "It was foolish for you to come back here. Did Malfoy fuck you hard enough for you to search him out again here? There is no one to save you from me this time."

He picked up the wand that had fallen from her robes as his fellow Deatheaters gathered around him.

MacNair pointed his wand and growled "Divesto!" Chuckling as he picked her up and placed her on a table as he removed his outer robes. "This is the last thing you will remember witch."

Severus stood disillusioned with Draco and the doppelgangers as this first raid was a teaching episode for them. He hated that she volunteered to go back as he knew what was in store for her. He frowned as he watched her clothes being removed as he schooled himself not to intervene.

MacNair began to pull out his cock when the loud of apparition was heard throughout the room. He turned from the table wand in hand and looked to see who had appeared. He stepped back as he faced Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Kingsley, along with two other wizards that he did not recognize.

"Well Kingsley take us in. We'll be free in an hour and be back here." MacNair told the head auror with a sarcastic smile on his face.

No one noticed that Hermione had changed back to her true form as she silently slid of the table and picked up her discarded wand and pointed to the back of MacNair.

"Oh we are going to take you MacNair but it won't be to the Ministry. We have a special place for you and your friends." Kingsley replied in his deep rumbling voice.

MacNair dove for cover cursing as one of his fellow Deatheaters shot a disarming spell toward the group and then all hell broke loose.

Hermione shouted "Locomotor Mortis!" Watching as Macnair's legs lock together and he fell down. "Incarcerous!" Watching as ropes appeared and tightened around the Deatheater.

She silently cast "Protego" and joined the fight oblivious to her state of undress.

Tables burst into flames as the group battled one another but soon it ended as fifteen Deatheaters were bound, gagged, and unconscious on the floor.

Hermione sat down on a chair panting. She would have to condition her body as it was out of shape from being inactive for five years.

Harry looked to her. "err…Hermione…"

She noticed that everyone had turned their backs to her as she suddenly remembered that she was naked.

Severus disillusioned himself and strode up to Hermione as he removed his outer robe and handed it to her. "Miss. Granger this should rectify your state of undress."

She took the robe expressing her thanks as she put it on a red blush appearing on her face. "I had other things on my mind you know."

Kingsley turned around and addressed Severus. "Who should we let go Severus so that word can get back to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?"

"No one Kingsley. I have taken care of that. Just take our prisoners away from here and I'll make sure word gets back."

"We'll leave it up to you then and be off." Gathering the prisoners into a pile and tossing a port key onto them.

Kingsley looked to Severus. "Good luck in your task." Apparating away with the rest of the group to a safehouse.

The potions master looked to the empty room after handing a port key to the doppelgangers that took them to the Order safe house that the others went to.

Draco appeared and approached his godfather. "Granger alive after all these years? Merlin whoever knew what kind of body she was hiding under those frumpy school robes?"

Hermione disilliousioned herself and grabbed the wizard by the neck and slammed him against the wall. "Draco Malfoy you better give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you."

"Miss. Granger release Draco now!" Pulling the witch off the wizard. "He is on our side and you will keep that information to yourself as only Albus and me knows his true loyalty."

"And how do you know that he won't run to Daddy Deatheater and rat us all out?" She demanded.

Severus looked to the blonde haired wizard and waited for Draco's response.

"A little over five years ago the Dark Lord killed a witched that I had feelings for. Only I was not able to tell her before her death. He promised me that he was only going to talk to her and let her go."

Draco's grey eyes met hers. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to go and get punished for bringing news of this attack." Apparating away without another word said.

Hermione stood in thought for a moment as she suddenly realized that the witch he was talking about was her.

She was about to say something as Old Tom entered the bar room. "Thank you for this. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to be suddenly free."

Severus looked to the hunched wizard. "You read the letter. I need to alter your memories or it will not be safe for you."

"Anything Professor Snape. It will not matter as I am free." Old Tom replied with feeling

He quickly altered the memories and motioned for Hermione to join him as he wrapped his arm around her and apparated away.

They found themselves at the gates of Hogwarts as Severus lowered the wards and motioned for her to enter the open gates. He quickly reset the wards and looked to her knowing the question that she would ask.

"Draco joined the order four days after you were buried." Walking away and leaving the witch to her thoughts.

HG/SS?HG/SS?HG/SS?

The next day the headlines of the Daily Prophet screamed out. "Attack at the Leaky Cauldron!" Showing a picture of a fiery phoenix in the sky. The article went on to say how innocent wizards were taken against their will and if anybody had information that they should contact the Ministry immediately.

Severus chuckled as he put down the paper. The Order was now in attack mode just as he had pleaded with Albus to do years ago.

He had not seen Hermione since last night and she did not come to him in his dreams as she suggested previously. Thinking on that fact he felt a slight pang. Did Hermione have feelings for Draco? She had told him that she loved him. Maybe things had changed. Besides he was no good for her anyway. Draco had money and title and all that he could offer her was the dungeons and a modest teacher's salary.

His floo flared green as Albus poked his head in. "Severus we need to talk."

Severus stood up and approached his floo. "Stand aside Headmaster I am coming through."

A/N Draco loves Hermione? Where did that come from?
