Chapter 3
Summary: What if there was a different reason for Salazar leaving? Hermione and Severus are swept up in a story of love, betrayal and mistakes. Can the two of them correct a mistake that Helga and Godric made or are they doomed to suffer the same fate as Rowena and Salazar? R/R
Chapter 3
Salazar sat patiently at Rowena’s bedside. It had been a week since the argument on the stairs. He, Rowena, Godric, Helga, and Salazar’s assistant had been at the top of the stairs in the main stairwell. He and Godric were once again arguing about him and Rowena seeing each other when Salazar’s assistant accidentally knocked Rowena down the stairs.
“Please Rowena. Come back to me. I can’t lose you, not now. You are the only one who truly understands me,” Salazar whispered as he held her hand.
“Salazar, can I speak to you?” Godric asked.
“Fine, but make it quick,” Salazar answered heatedly.
Salazar got to his feet and followed Godric out into the hallway. After making sure hallway was empty, Godric dove right in with what he needed to say to the founder of Slytherin house.
“Salazar, you and Rowena need to stop seeing each other. Look at what has happened. The other professors, as well as most of the students, don’t accept this relationship. I won’t watch you tear down the foundations on which this school was founded because of your selfishness,” Godric said.
“How dare you! I would never tear down this school’s foundations. Besides, isn’t one of the foundations of this school unity? Rowena and I love each other. Why can’t you, Helga, the staff, and students just be happy for us? Or at least support us?” Salazar demanded.
“Because you and Rowena are letting your personal feelings for each other cloud your judgement. How can the two of you be unbiased when it comes to the students?” Godric asked.
“Our personal relationship has not interfered with our professional positions as teachers. We keep our personal and professional personalities separate from each other,” Salazar hissed.
“This cannot continue Salazar. You have been warned,” Godric stated.
Salazar just glared as he watched his one time best friend storm off down the corridor. In a swirl of robes, Salazar spun on his heel and returned to wait at Rowena’s bedside where he needed to be.

“Salazar,” Hermione moaned.
Severus stood in the shadows watching the Head Girl. Hearing her call for Salazar fit into the massive puzzle he was trying to put together. His feeling about the Chamber of Secrets had been correct. Remembering how Salazar had entered the inner chamber from his dreams, he had followed the founder of his house’s footsteps.
As he had theorized, he had found the missing possessions of Salazar Slytherin. Among Salazar’s things were his personal journals. Severus had quickly gathered the journals and moved them to his personal chambers, where he immediately began reading them.
‘It seems I am not the only one effected by the lives of the founders,’ Severus thoughts as he moved closer to Hermione.
“Salazar, don’t let Godric get to you,” Hermione whispered.
Feeling the need to reassure her, Severus knelt at her bedside. “I won’t Rowena. I promise,”
“Good,” Hermione sighed and fell back into a peaceful sleep.
Severus stayed kneeling at her side a few more minutes before getting to his feet and leaving the hospital wing. He now knew what he needed to do.
************************************************************************
Rowena made her way through the dark and silent library. She had always loved the library after all the students were asleep in their houses. She smiled as she thought of all the times Salazar had found her asleep in the library and then gathered her in his arms and took her to bed. In her arms were several of her journals. The ones that chronicle zed her relationship with her beloved Salazar.
Included in the journals were many letters that he had sent her since leaving the school ten years ago. She knew she had to hide them or else Godric and Helga would find them. She didn’t want that.
She finally reached her destination. In the far southeast corner of the library, she had built a hidden cabinet. She pulled out her wand and opened the cabinet. Inside were a few of Salazar’s thing he hade left her, including a miniature version of the portrait hanging above the fireplace in their chamber.
“Soon, we will be reunited my love. I love you,” Rowena whispered as she closed the cabinet.
************************************************************************
Hermione sat up gasping and groaning. Poppy came rushing over to check on her. “Take it easy Miss Granger. Your ribs aren’t fully healed,” Poppy said.
“Ugh. When can I leave? I’m tired of being cooped up here,” Hermione complained.
“Just three more days. You will return to classes on Wednesday. In the time between you’re released and you return to classes I want you to just relax,” Poppy chuckled.
“I’ll do whatever it takes to get out of here,” Hermione said. ‘Anything to see if that cabinet exists in the library,’ she thought.
************************************************************************
It was Sunday night when Hermione got her chance to find the cabinet. The school had been informed of her accident. Since she had been released, people had been around her. Since she wasn’t returning to classes for another two days and the others had classes in the morning, she finally got a break.
She quickly found her way through the dark library. In no time she was standing in the very spot Rowena had in her dream. Pulling out her wand, she copied Rowena’s wand movements and watched in surprise and exhilaration as the cabinet opened.
“I guess I have some light reading to do,” she said as she carefully gathered Rowena’s journals and placed them in her bookbag. Finally, she was making some progress with figuring out her dreams.
