The Family Ties that Bind
Chapter 8- First Strike
The first few days went by smoothly. It was now Friday and Hermione was looking foreword to having her father’s class. After breakfast Hermione, Draco, Ron and Harry made their way to the first potions class of the year. Draco was nervous because of how the other Slytherins would react.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” Harry said.
“He’s right mate. Besides, you’ll be with us.” Ron added.
“Thanks.” Draco said as he draped his arm around Hermione’s shoulders.
They entered the class and took their seats. Hermione and Draco were sitting together with Harry and Ron behind them. They had just set up their stations when Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle approached Draco.
“Hello traitor.” Pansy said.
“What do you want Parkinson?” Draco demanded.
“I heard a very strange rumor. I heard that you were taken from your father and adopted by Professor Snape. Is this true?” Pansy asked.
“What does it matter to you?” Hermione asked.
“You need to butt out. This is doesn’t concern you. You may be Snape’s daughter but this is a Slytherin matter.” Pansy snarled.
“Then why ask me. I’m no longer a Slytherin.” Draco said.
“You know, this new attitude of yours will lead to a dead end Draco. It’s not too late to change your mind.” Pansy replied.
“No. I’ve never been more happy. So why don’t you and those two buffoons you call body guards run along and play.” Draco replied.
“You’ll regret this choice traitor.” Pansy whispered before she, Crabbe and Goyle returned to their seats.
Severus entered just as Pansy and the other sat down. He should have known that Lucius would has said something about him adopting Draco. Now it was only a matter of time before either Lucius, Voldemort or some other Death Eater did something.
“Everyone take their seats. Today we will begin the new year off by brewing the Poly-Juice Potion. Who can tell me how long the potion takes to make?” Severus said.
Ron raised his hand.
“Yes Mr. Weasley.” Severus said.
“The potion takes 21 days to make.” Ron answered.
“Very good. You’ve actually paid attention. What is the purpose of this potion. Mr. Potter.” Severus replied as he pointed to Harry.
“It allows whoever drinks it to turn into another person. It’s only used for human transformations thought.” Harry answered.
“Correct. That will be ten points to Gryffindor. Now, Every turn to page 256 and begin reading up on the potion. Once done, begin the first stage of the potion. Begin.” Severus ordered.
The class quietly began their potions. It was ten minutes till class ended when the first retaliation from Slytherin happened. Pansy had pulled out her wand and levitated one of Draco’s ingredients into his cauldron without anyone noticing.
“Oh no! Draco get down!” Hermione yelled.
It was too late. The cauldron exploded. Draco received the full blast while Hermione was thrown back against the storage cabinet. The classroom was in chaos. Severus sent out a shower of sparks from his wand. The class calmed down. Harry and Ron rushed to Draco while Severus knelt beside his daughter.
“Is…is Draco all right?” Hermione asked as she held her head and sat up.
“I don’t know. Are you okay?” Severus answered.
“Check on him. I’ll be fine.” Hermione insisted.
“Sir, Draco’s hurt bad. He’s barely breathing.” Harry said.
“Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, help Miss Snape to her feet and get her to the hospital wing. The rest of you. Stay here. If anyone leaves before I get back, there will be hell to pay.” Severus hissed.
Harry and Ron helped Hermione while Severus rushed out with Draco. Severus was almost to the hospital wing when he ran into Albus.
“What happened?” Albus asked.
“His cauldron exploded. I have to get him to Poppy and then go back and deal with the class.” Severus answered.
“I’ll take Draco. You go back and find out what happened.” Albus said as he took the boy into his arms and hurried away.
Severus rushed back to his class. Everyone was still there. He walked over to what was left of Draco’s cauldron. As he examined it, he knew exactly what the problem was.
“I demand to know who put the piece of bloomslang flesh into his cauldron? That is not to be added until the end.” Severus asked angrily.
“It seems sir that Draco simply made a mistake.” Pansy answered.
“Draco Malfoy doesn’t make mistakes. At least not mistakes like this. I know the Gryffindors had nothing to do with this. So that leaves Slytherin. I’m giving the person who did it one chance to confess. Otherwise, all of you have detention with Filtch and Slytherin will lose 200 points.” Severus said.
“It was Parkinson.” Millicent Boulstrod said.
“Traitor!” Pansy screamed.
“I’m not serving detention for you. You did so you pay for it.” Millicent said.
“Thank you Miss Boulstrod. You are going to the Headmaster and that will be 100 points from Slytherin. Not only did you attack a fellow student, but you nearly killed the rest of us, my daughter included.” Severus hissed as he grabbed Pansy by the arm and led her out of the room.
When Severus and Pansy entered, they found Albus sitting behind his desk. Severus pushed Pansy into the chair and faced the Headmaster. Severus spun around and faced Albus.
“How is Draco and Hermione?” Severus asked.
“Hermione is staying overnight for observation. Draco on the other hand is pretty banged up and still unconscious. He will be there for a while at least, but Madame Pomfrey thinks he will make a full recovery.” Albus answered.
“Good. It seems Miss Parkinson is the one who caused the explosion.” Severus said.
“Why Miss Parkinson?” Albus asked.
“I was only trying to get back at Draco. He’s a traitor and traitors need to be punished. Snape’s daughter shouldn’t have been so close, otherwise she wouldn’t have been hurt.” Pansy said, in a tone as if she were bored.
“You feel no remorse for nearly killing one student and injuring another?” Albus questioned.
“No.” she stated.
By now Severus was ready to kill her with his bare hands. Albus saw this and quickly took action.
“Severus, I will deal with Miss Parkinson. You, go check on your daughter and your charge. I will fill you in later.” Albus said.
“So it is true. You took Draco from Lucius. You’ll get yours traitor.” Pansy hissed.
“You will pay for what you did to my daughter and Draco. If I’m going to get mine, then you’ll get yours as well.” Severus said hatefully.
Severus stormed out of the office and straight to the hospital wing. He found Hermione sitting in a chair holding Draco’s hand. Severus pulled up a chair and joined her at his godson’s side.
“He’ll be okay Hermione. I promise.” Severus said.
“Who did this?” Hermione asked.
“Pansy Parkinson.” Severus answered.
“I’ll kill her if I ever see her pug face again. I swear to that.” Hermione whispered.
“Albus is taking care of her as we speak. How are you feeling?” Severus asked.
“Fine. Well, a slight headache, but other than that I’m fine.” she answered.
“I can’t lose him dad. I love him. He just has to get better. He will get better right?” she said sadly.
“Poppy told Albus that he should make a full recovery, it will just take some time. Don’t worry. He will be fine and the two of you will get married . Just like you planned. Speaking of the wedding, have you two set a date yet?” Severus answered.
“Yes. We decided on March 15th. The March after we graduate.” she replied.
“That’s the date your mother and I got married.” Severus said with a smile.
“I know. Minerva told me.” Hermione giggled.
The two sat there for about an hour. Severus had to go to his next class. Hermione stayed at Draco’s side. Watching for any sign that he was waking up. Hoping it would be soon.
