Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Prince Malfoy and his group were now at the formation of boulders where Mib had beaten Hagrid.
“Someone has beaten a giant.” Malfoy said “There will be great suffering in Guilder if she dies.”
------------------------
After running for a while Mib and Hermione stopped on the top of a ridge where large rocks were sitting. Mib slightly pushed Hermione toward on of the rocks.
“Catch your breath.” he said.
Breathing heavily and leaning against one of the rocks Hermione spoke. “If you’ll release me…whatever you ask for ransom you’ll get it. I promise you.”
Laughing Mib replied, “And what is that worth-- the promise of a woman? Your very funny Highness.”
“I was giving you a chance. It doesn’t matter where you take me…there’s no greater hunter then Prince Malfoy. He can track a dementor on a cloudy day. He can find you.”
“You think your dearest love will save you?”
“I never said he was my dearest love. Aes hes he will save me. That I know.”
“You admit to me you do not love your fiancé.”
“He knows I don’t love him.”
“Are not capable of love is what you mean.”
“I have loved more deeply than a killer like yourself could ever dream.”
Mib raised his hand in an act to strike Hermione. She flinched at this.
“That was a warning, Highness. The next time my hand flies on its own. From where I come from, there are penalties when a woman lies.”
They began to run again.
------------------------
Prince Malfoy, Count Goyle and Prince Malfoy’s guards had just come upon Crabbe’s body. Malfoy was inspecting the scene. He picked up what had once contained the iocane. He sniffed at it.
“Iocane. I’d bet my life on it.” pointing to the ground he continued, “and there are the princess’s footprints. She is alive, or was an hour ago. If she is otherwise when I find her I shall be very put out.”
---------------------------
Once again Hermione and Mib stopped to rest again. This time they stopped by the edge of a ravine.
“Rest Highness.” Mib commanded.
Hermione sat then looked at the still standing Mib. “I know who you are.” she started. “You’re the Dread Pirate Voldemort. Admit it.”
“With pride.” he said while mock bowing. “What can I do for you?”
“You can die slowly cut into a thousand pieces.” she said quietly but with poison laced into the words.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hardly complimentary Your Highness. Why let loose your venom on me?”
“You killed my love.”
“It’s possible. I kill a lot of people.” he paused. “Who was this love of yours? Another prince like this one…ugly, rich, and scabby?”
“No. A farm boy, poor. Poor and perfect, with eyes rich and mysterious.”, she said dreamily then continued. “On the high seas your ship attacked. Dread Pirate Voldemort never takes prisoners.”
“I can’t afford to make exceptions. Once word gets out that a pirate has gone soft…people begin to disobey you and it’s nothing but work, work, work the the time.”
“You mock my pain.”
“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone whys dys differently is selling something.” he said pointedly. “I remember this farm boy of yours, I think. This would be, what, five years ago?” he turned to her, “Does it bother you to hear?”
“Nothing you can say will upset me.”
Mib continued. “He died well. That should please you. No bribe attempts or blubbering. He simply said “Please…please, I need to live.” It was the please that caught my memory. I asked him what was so important for him here. “True love” he replied. Then he spoke of a girl of surpassing beauty and enduring faithfulness. I can only assume he meant you.” he added, “You should bless me for destroying him before he found out what you really are.”
Hermione jumped up at this. “And what am I?”
“Faithfulness he talked of madam…your enduring faithfulness. tel tell me truly. When you found out he was gone…did you get engaged to your prince at the same hour…or did you wait a whole week out of respect for the dead?”
Hermione was very angry now, “You mocked me once. Never do it again! I died that day!”
Mib heard horses coming and looked to see them in the distance.
“And you can die to for all I care!” Hermione finished before pushing Mib down the side of the ravine. She stood there watching him roll down when she heard his words.
“Yes…Miss…Granger!”
Thoroughly surprised she whispered to herself, “Oh my sweet Severus. What have I done?” Then she tossed herself over the edge to meet up with Severus who had stopped rolling and was lying at the bottom. Many tumbles and grunts of pain later Hermione stopped.
----------------
The group of horses Severus had seen earlier had stopped. As it turns out this group happened to include Prince Malfoy.
“They’ve disappeared. He must have seen us closing in…which might account for his panicking into error. Unless I am wrong, and I amer wer wrong, they are headed dead into the Forbidden Forest.”
------------------
Meanwhile Severus was now crawling over to where Hermione was. He looked at her then in a soft voice asked, “Can you move at all?”
Hermione was so happy with seeing Severus she simply replied, “Move? If you want, I can fly.” Then she hugged him tightly.
Severus was the first one to speak when they broke from the hug. “I told you I would always come for you. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
“Well…you were dead.”
“Death can’t stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a little while.”
“I will never doubt again.”
“There will never be a need.”
They kissed. The kiss was full of a passion that stemmed from being away from each other for far to long. A kiss that filled both their needs to remember how the other tasted. They broke from the kiss remembering where they were and who was after them. Severus helped Hermione up. They where running in the direction of the Forbidden Forest when they heard horses above them.
Pointing up toward the prince Severus stated to Hermione, “Your pig fiancé Is too late. A few more steps and we’ll be safe in the Forbidden Forest.” They started running again.
“We’ll never survive.” came Hermione’s worried response.
“Nonsense!” exclaimed Severus “Your only saying that because no one ever has.”
With that they disappeared into the trees.
Prince Malfoy and his group were now at the formation of boulders where Mib had beaten Hagrid.
