The True Heir of Dark
Chapter 5
Remus rushed upstairs and entered Harry’s room. He shook the young wizard awake. Harry grabbed his wand and switched on the light. “Remus? What’s going on?”
“Get dressed and pack your things. I’ve got to get you and Hermione out of here. Now.” Remus answered.
Harry could tell by Remus’ voice something was wrong. He jumped out of bed and began doing as Remus instructed. Remus left the room and hurried to Hermione’s room. He saw a light on, knocked and entered.
“Remus? What’s wrong?” Hermione asked as she put her book away.
“We’ve got to get to your father’s. Get dressed and packed.” Remus instructed.
Hermione nodded. Remus exited the room and hurried to pack his own things. Ten minutes later, the three met up in Hermione’s room. “Can you apparate us to your father?” Remus asked.
“Yes. Why?” Hermione answered.
“I’ll explain once we get there.” Remus replied.
Hermione just nodded. They shrank their things put them in their pockets and quietly made their way downstairs. Once out of the house, Hermione took Harry and Remus’ hands and apparated them to Tom’s mansion.
************************************************************************
“Tom look! Outside…it’s Hermione, Potter, and Lupin,” Bella said as she pointed out the library window.
“What!” Tom and Lucius cried as they jumped to their feet.
Tom, Bella, and Lucius ran from the room. They had just reached the front hallway when Hermione, Harry, and Remus entered the house. Tom rushed to his daughter. “Hermione, what’s wrong?” he demanded.
“I don’t know. Remus told me and Harry to pack and that we had to get out of the house,” Hermione explained.
“Let’s get inside and I’ll explain,” Remus urged.
Tom met the werewolf’s eyes. He nodded. Bella and Lucius escorted Hermione and Harry into the library with Tom and Remus right behind them. Once everyone was seated, Remus quickly told them what Albus had done.
************************************************************************
Once the spell wore off, Severus jumped off the bed. Luckily, he still had his wand on him. He quickly placed his own wards on his home. These wards could only be removed by him and him alone.
“Please Remus, get Hermione to Tom safely,” Severus said out loud as he headed downstairs.
Once downstairs, he used his wand to begin packing his belongings. He knew that once Tom felt it safe, he would be sending someone after him. At least he knew Albus couldn’t get into the house and he prayed Remus got her to Tom in time.
************************************************************************
“Oh god no! Remus, please tell me he was all right! Please!” Hermione pleaded after Remus told them his tale of Albus sealing Severus in Spinner‘s End.
“He was when I left. Stunned, but still conscious and breathing,” Remus assured her.
“Hermione, don’t worry about Severus, he will be fine. If I know him, as soon as he can move again, he will place his own wards on the house to keep Albus out,” Lucius said with a comforting smile.
“Um…what about Remus and I? And what do I call you anyway?” Harry asked.
“Please call me Tom. As for you and Remus, you two will remain here at the mansion with Hermione and I. This is the safest place for you right now.” Tom answered.
“My father’s right. Here Dumbledore can’t find us. Father, please tell me you’re going to Severus back here?” Hermione added.
“I will. First, you and Harry need to get some rest. In the morning I will send someone to scout out the house,” Tom promised.
“Come with me, I’ll show you to your rooms,” Bella said.
Hermione and Harry followed Bella upstairs. The first stop was Harry’s room. Hermione smiled as she saw Harry’s mouth fall open when he saw the room, which was lovely. He turned and faced Bella.
“This is mine?” He asked in awe.
“Ha. Ha. Yes this is your room. Well, Hermione and I will leave you to unpack. I suggest you just enlarge your things and unpack them in the morning.” Bella chuckled.
“Sounds like a plan to me. Good night.” Harry replied.
Bella and Hermione nodded, then left the room. The two women continued down the hall in silence. Finally, Bella stopped in front of a set of double doors. Hermione gasped when she saw the room beyond the doors.
“Oh my god. They’re beautiful.” Hermione gasped.
“Before your mum and dad were married, these were her rooms. Nothing has been changed.” Bella said as she allowed Hermione to take in the beauty of the rooms.
“I don’t know what to say.” Hermione replied as she ran her hand over the delicate coverlet on the bed.
“Hermione, I know I may be overstepping my boundaries here, but don’t worry about Severus. Tom won’t let anything happen to him. Soon you two will be reunited.” Bella said.
Hermione turned and faced her. This woman, who was once her enemy, was now offering her some friendly advice and was trying to make her feel better about the situation. “I hope so. I’m so scared Bella. I’m afraid something happened to Severus after Remus left.” Hermione sighed as she sat on the bed.
“Oh Hermione, that crazy old man won’t harm Severus. Dumbledore needs him unharmed to try and get you back. Now that Dumbledore knows he’s lost you.” Bella replied as she sat beside Hermione and wrapped her arm around the younger witch’s shoulders.
“I can’t and won’t loose him. I love him so much.” Hermione said.
“Don’t worry. Severus will be fine. Right now, enlarge your things and get in bed. I will have some hot tea sent up to you to help you relax.” Bella instructed.
“Thank you Bella.” Hermione smiled.
Bella nodded, stood up and left the room. Hermione took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She then removed her things from her pocket and enlarged them. No sooner had she changed and got into bed, than a house elf appeared with a cup of hot tea.
“Miss Bella sents mes Mistress.” the elf said.
“Thank you. What’s your name?” Hermione asked.
“Violet.” she answered.
“Well, thank you Violet. If I need anything else, I’ll know who to call.” Hermione said.
“Yes Mistress Hermione. Goods nights.” Violet beamed, and with a ‘POP’, the elf was gone.
Hermione opened her book and began reading as she sipped her tea. Half an hour later, she closed her book, placed her cup on her nightstand, turned out the lights, and laid down to try and get some sleep.
“I love you Severus and I miss you.” She whispered to the dark room.
************************************************************************
The next morning, Albus was immediately summoned to 12 Grimmauld Place. Molly had flooed him when she found Remus, Hermione, and Harry missing, as well as their things. Albus now sat in the kitchen with Molly, Ron, and Arthur. Albus was furious at this turn of events.
“When was the last time any of you saw the three of them?” Albus demanded.
“I saw Hermione last night after you told her about her parents. Then Harry and Remus and I talked for a bit before and during dinner.” Ron answered angrily.
“Dinner was the last time we saw Harry and Remus. As for Hermione, it was right before you came by last night.” Molly added, while Arthur nodded.
“It would seem they have betrayed us. I caught Severus bringing Hermione back from somewhere. I believe it was from a meeting with Voldemort. Remus was with me when I securely warded Severus into his house. I guess after Remus left, he came here and got Harry and Hermione.” Albus explained as he began pacing.
Ron’s face grew red in anger. Hermione with Snape! He would kill Snape then take Hermione for his own. “We have to find her.” He growled.
“We will Ronald, and then she will be grateful to you. I feel she may have been brainwashed.” Albus assured him.
************************************************************************
Back at Severus’ home, he sat drinking a cup of coffee and reading a book. Most of his things had been packed, except for the things he would need. A few seconds later, he heard someone pounding on the back door. He got up and walked over to the door, there stood Albus Dumbledore.
“Remove the wards!” Albus roared.
“Fuck you Dumbledore.” Severus said.
“I know you’ve taken Hermione to her father. I should have killed her when I killed Jezebel. No matter, I’ll still get my chance to kill her. You can’t protect her now.” Albus replied.
“You can’t harm her anyway. She’s away from you and somewhere safe. Enjoy your time while it lasts.” Severus hissed.
Albus’ eyes grew wide in fury. He withdrew his wand and yelled a curse. The curse hit the door, but had no effect. Severus smiled and turned his back on the door and headed back to the living room.
“Oh god. Please, let Hermione be safe. I can‘t loose her.” Severus sighed as he dropped into the worn arm chair.
************************************************************************
“Dumbledore has placed sentries around the house. There were two sets of wards. One was Dumbledore’s the other was Uncle Severus’.” Draco reported. Tom, Hermione, Remus, Bella, Lucius, Harry, and Draco were sitting in the study. Draco had just returned from scouting out Severus’ house.
“How often do they change sentry?” Tom asked as he stood up and walked to the window.
“Every four hours. When I left, it was Ron Weasley, Tonks, Shacklebolt, and Weasley’s dad.” Draco answered.
“Okay, Dumbledore is waiting for us to make a move. We need to wait. Right now, if we tried to get him, we would have a fight on our hands.” Tom said.
“We can’t just leave him there!” Hermione exclaimed.
“Hermione, I understand how you feel. If fighting were to break out, Severus would lower his wards so he could help. If he did that, Dumbledore would lower his as well just long enough to kill Severus. I won’t let that happen honey, I swear.” Tom said gently as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
“I’m sorry dad, it’s just for the past year we’ve had to hide our relationship. Now, with you and the other Death Eaters, we don’t have to hide anymore.” She sighed.
“Mione, I promise, we’ll get Professor Snape back. I see that you and him belong together. You have my word.” Harry vowed as he knelt in front of her.
“Harry’s right, we will bring Severus back to you.” Lucius added.
“Thanks. I’m going to go upstairs. I…I just want to be alone right now.” Hermione said.
Everyone nodded. Hermione stood up and left the study. She had been fooling everyone downstairs. All day she had been holding back her tears. She entered her room, turned on the radio, and curled up in her arm chair.
“Here’s the most requested song of the day. ‘What Hurts the Most’ by Rascal Flatts.” The D.J. said.
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m okay
But that’s not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do
Hermione couldn’t hold back her tears. She clutched the throw pillow and began to cry. “Severus. I miss you so much. Come home.”
It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ it
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our friends and I’m alone
Still harder
Getting up getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do
Severus laid on his bed listening to the same song and station as Hermione. The lyrics echoing how he felt. “When I’m reunited with you Hermione, I’ll tell you I love you every chance I get. I love and miss you.”
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin to do
Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was tryin’ to do
As the final notes of the song died down, both Hermione and Severus drifted off to sleep. Each shedding tears for each other and hoping they would be reunited soon.
