Chapter 15

It was the middle of October when Voldemort made his move. Severus entered his office after a long staff meeting. He sighed as he sat behind his desk, opening up his top drawer. He looked down and his eyes widened in fear. Before he could even blink, the black viper struck.

“Aaahhh! Shit!” Severus yelled as he jumped to his feet, clutching his wrist.

As he turned to run to his potion cabinet, his foot caught on the desk and he went crashing to the floor. His head striking the corner of the desk as he did, knocking him out cold.

************************************************************************

“What are we going to do Hermione?” Nathan asked.

“I don’t know. All I know is that Severus isn’t going to like the idea of going into hiding.” Hermione sighed.

The two were on their way to tell Severus, that Voldemort was planning something. Hermione had a feeling that whatever it was, it was to try and kill Severus. They reached his study door and knocked. No answer.

“I thought Albus said he was returning to his office?” Nathan asked.

“He did.” Hermione answered with a frown.

Hermione opened the door and looked around.

“Severus? You here?” She called out.

The two walked further into the room. It was then that Hermione saw him. She gasped and ran straight for him.

“Severus! Noo! Please be alive.” She cried.

“Look out!” Nathan yelled.

Hermione looked over and saw the snake. She froze. Right before the animal struck, Nathan pulled out his wand and destroyed it. Hermione took in the snake’s appearance. She jumped to her feet and ran for Severus’s potions cabinet.

“Call Poppy. Now!” Hermione ordered.

Nathan rushed to the floo while Hermione grabbed the antidote. That particular viper’s venom was used in some of the more lethal potions. Severus always kept the antidote handy. She found the vile and rushed back to Severus’s side.

“Oh my. What happened?” Poppy asked as she stepped through the floo.

“He’s been bitten by a viper.” Hermione answered as she gently rolled Severus over.

Poppy rushed over. Hermione opened the vile and proceeded to pour the fluid down his throat. Massaging his throat to make him swallow it. After a few seconds, they saw the bite mark on his wrist force out the poison and heal up. Poppy pulled out a smelling salt and wove it under his nose.

“Ugh! Oohhh!” Severus groaned as he came to.

“Take it easy love.” Hermione whispered.

“Her…Hermione?” Severus asked.

“Yes. Nathan, Poppy, help me get him into the bedroom.” Hermione answered.

The three of them lifted Severus and carried him into his bedroom. There, Hermione used wandless magic to change him into his pajamas. Poppy then proceeded to check him over for any lasting damage the snake’s venom might have caused.

“Looks like we were too late.” Nathan sighed.

“Not completely. We foiled Voldemort’s plan. Severus is still alive.” Hermione said with relief.

“What do you mean?” Severus asked.

“We were coming to tell you that our spies had discovered that Voldemort had planned to kill you in order to get to Hermione. He is also planning to use a few of the 7th year Slytherins to capture Hermione and bring her to Voldemort.” Nathan answered.

“It’s just as your grandmother, Albus, and I feared.” Severus coughed.

“Poppy, how is he?” Hermione asked.

“He will be fine. Severus I want you to take a few days off and rest. If Hermione and Nathan hadn’t shown up when they did, you would be dead right now.” Poppy answered.

“I don’t need to rest.” Severus insisted as he started to sit up.

“Severus, you will listen to Poppy. That is a royal order. I hate to do this, but I will pull rank if I must.” Hermione ordered.

Severus sighed and sank back down in the bed and scowled. Hermione then pulled Poppy out of the room. Once the door closed behind them Hermione began to speak.

“I want the truth. How bad is it?” Hermione asked.

“All right. He will be weak for at least a week. I recommend he be on bed rest for that week.” Poppy answered.

“Can he travel?” Hermione asked.

“Yes, as long as it’s not too far. Why?” Poppy answered.

“Poppy, Voldemort wants him dead. As well as me. My grandmother believes that Severus and I should return to the castle. Voldemort can’t get to us there.” Hermione replied.

“That should be fine. When were you planning on leaving?” Poppy questioned.

“Tonight if you say it’s all right.” Hermione said.

“Very well. Of course you will have a fight on your hands about this.” Poppy chuckled.

Hermione nodded.

“What do you mean he’s not at Hogwarts!” Voldemort screamed.

“He’s…he’s gone.” Wormtail stuttered as he cowered on his knees.

“You insignificant worm!” Voldemort hissed.

Wormtail bowed his head as he shook in fear. Voldemort spun on his heel and stormed out of the room. He quickly found Walden McNair and Lucius in the study. They dropped to their knees as he barged into the room.

“I need you two to go and find Severus. Wormtail has informed me that he is no longer at the school. I need to know where he has slithered off to.” Voldemort ordered.

“Yes my Lord.” The two men said.

Voldemort stormed from the room. The two men got to their feet and hurried from the hidden mansion. They weren’t going to fail like Wormtail.
