Chapter 5- Tensions Running High
Harry had finally calmed down and was sitting in a chair with his headhis his hands. Hermione was leaning against the wall holding the book in her hands while Remus sat beside Harry and Severus was pacing.
“Hermione, you said you had found something. What is it?” Albus asked.
“I found a potion that will help weaken Draco’s forces. As of now they out number us by at lest half. This potion will strengthen our forces while weakening his considerably.” Hermione answered.
“Which potion?” Severus asked.
“The power stripping potion.” she answered.
“Has that ever been done before?” Remus asked.
“Not here. It was used by three witches in America. I came across the potion when we were fighting Voldemort. If we make a few modifications I believe we can strip Draco’s forces of their magical abilities.” Hermione answered.
“How do you plan on administering the potion? They have to drink the potion Hermione.” Severus asked.
“I know that. I have a plan for that as well. Draco still has muggles as servants right? Well, I could use a glamor spell posing as a servant. Once in I could pour the potion into their drinks. That way, any wizard or witch who drinks it will be stripped of their powers. And from what I’ve been told everyone drinks a glass of wine at the beginning of every meeting and that Draco insists on all the Death Eaters to attend.” Hermione answered in a matter of fact tone.
“A well conceived plan Hermione.” Albus said proudly.
“It’s too dangerous Albus! You can’t possibly agree to this!” Severuied.ied.
“I think it just might work. And who better to play the part than Hermione. After all, it’s not the first time she’s done this. She did it when we fought Voldemort.” Albus said.
“What? When did she do that?” Severus asked in shock.
“My 7th year. How else were we going to make sure Voldemort drank that fucking potion? Your cover was already blown thSo ISo I volunteered.” Hermione replied.
“I agree with Albus. Hermione will be fine.” Remus said.
“I’m for it. If anyone can pull this off it’s Hermione.” Harry added.
“She’s can’t do this alone.” Severus said angrily.
“I realize that. That’s why I owled Sam and asked him to come and help.” Hermione said as she glared at Severus.
Severus clenched his fists. He didn’t like the idea of Hermione going undercover and he like it even less that she had asked for Sam’s help and not his. He faced Albus who looked quite impressed at Hermione’s plan.
“When do you expect to hear back from your friend?” Albus asked.
“I sent the owl this afternoon once I returned from Hogsmeade. I hope to hear from him in a few days. Until then I will gather all I will need for the potion as well as make the proper adjustments.” Hermione answered.
“Good. If you need any help please, don’t hesitate to ask. Now, I believe it’s time for dinner and we could all use something to eat.” Albus said as he rose to his feet.
The group filed out of the office. Everyone headed for the Great Hall. Hermione hurried to her rooms and dropped of the book then entered and sat beside Harry and Severus at the head table.
Halfway through dinner Severus couldn’t hold in his anger or jealousy any longer.
“This Sam doesn’t deserve you. He is by no means worthy of you Hermione.” Severus hissed.
“What the hell business is it of yours. And just so you know Sam is a wonderful Wizard. He’s smart, funny, caring, loyal and understanding.” Hermione replied coldly.
“I know you won’t be happy with him. You should be with me not him.” he replied.
Before Severus could react Hermione’s fist slammed into his jaw knocking him to the floor. Everyone in the hall stared in shock as Hermione stood over the Potions Master.
“How dare you! Who the fuck do you think you are to dictate my life! I should be with you! That’s a bloody fucking joke! You had a chance but turned me away 6 years ago! Remember! You have no right to tell me who I can and can’t be with! And let me tell you something Severus Octavious Snape, if you ever try to order me around again you will regret it!” Hermione screamed at him.
She the turned to face Albus.
“Please excuse me. I seem to have lost my appetite.” she said.
Hermione turned, stepped over the shocked Potion Master and stormed out of the Great Hall. Every was still staring as Severus got to his feet. He too then stormed out of the hall in a flurry of black robes.
“I do believe that things have just gotten interesting.” Albus said with a small smile.
Severus hurried down the corridor to catch up with Hermione. In a few seconds he grabbed her by the arm and pinned her to the wall.
“You little bitch! How dare you talk to me that way! I demand respect!” Severus hissed evilly.
“I will talk to you any way I damned well please. You deserve and will get no respect from me. Now let me go.” Hermione snarled.
Severus only tightened his grip on her. The two stared coldly at each other. Before either knew what was going on their lips were locked in a fiery and passionate kiss. Severus released her only to pull her tightly into his arms. Hermione threaded her fingers in his raven locks. They pulled away only when their lungs screamed for oxygen.
The pair stared at each other as they both gasped for air. Hermione saw Severus’s emotion flash through his ebony eyes. Fear, jealousy, anger, worry and love. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t deny the fact that she still loved him. Even after all these years apart she still loved him.
Severus slowly released his hold on her. Hermione stepped away.
“Just stay away Severus.” she said and headed for her rooms.
Hermione burst into her rooms and slammed her door.
‘What the hell am I doing?!’ she mentally screamed at herself.
Hermione grabbed the book and opened it to the potion. She read over the list of all she would need.
Power Stripping Potion
Ingredients:
1 pinch of dandelion
1 dash of chickweed
Billings root
Water
A mortar and pestle
Grind ingredients together in a mortar in pestle. Shake water vigorously for two-hundred heartbeats and add dandelion, Billings root and chickweed. The potion must cool and turn blood-red to be complete.
Hermione new that the potion alone wouldn’t be enough. Luckily she had found a bind spell to go with the potion. She quickly grabbed another book and flipped to the right page.
Binding Spell
I take your handsminemine
And with this string I will entwine
Your powers I’ll forever bind
From now until the end of time.
Hermione wrote down the potion and the spell. After putting away the books she got ready for bed. As she laid in bed her thoughts ran wild.
‘Get a grip Hermione. You have a duty to do. But how can I when I’m so confused? I still love Severus, but I’m beginning to fall in love with Sam as well. Oh Merlin what am I going to do? I know. I’ll do my duty, return with Sam to San Francisco and forget all about Severus Snape.’ she thought.
Even as she drifted off to sleep she wasn’t sure if she would be able to forget about Severus or the feeling that were stirring in her very heart and soul.
