XII
Hermione had decided to sleep off this morning. The last days had been exhausting. Finally had a few more villagers dared to seek. She had, of course, happy about this fact, but as the first successful talking about, it was almost all day in her new Treatment room and had taken care of minor injuries and illnesses. They had put their evil eye every time they have now mastered to perfection, and their newfound patient severely admonished, that they once again saw a day-old wound in the still of the old rust, the blade of the they came to find was.
And then came back and Severus. To their surprise, all four men had a huge bear it. Severus had several broken ribs and a few external injuries. Several times she had asked him how they came to Merlin's name to, voluntarily with a bear to put on and what had happened, but Severus did not tell much. He dismissed as a mistake. The only thing that brought out Hermione, after many questions from him was that he probably owed his life Lannox Duncan.
"Lannox," thought Hermione and turned back to the other side. It was he ever met. It was her first day in this village. He had made a disagreeable impression, but maybe they had so deceived.
The door opened and Severus came in. He stopped in front of her and looked at it for a while. "Will not you get up?" he asked finally. Hermione sat up and saw him disheveled hair from behind a curtain with sleepy eyes. She had stretched with pleasure, and then let down her legs on one side. Severus came up to her in order to lend a hand, which she took with a smile. He pulled her off and gave her a brief kiss. "You can not yet slept through the whole day," he said in a rigor that did not bring over his eyes.
He answered and put them with a jolt to the small chest of drawers behind them, so that now she was the one who had to look down on him. The change of role she liked. She moved him closer to the approach, so that it now stood right between her legs and had to look up to her. A quiet cough made them both go violently apart. They looked around, but it was not seen. Do not disturb I wanted, "said a familiar voice next to Hermione.
The water in the washing bowl next to her glittered and gave up the face of an old man. "Albus," Severus said in surprise and left to right a step away from Hermione. "I hope I do not bother," said Dumbledore, looking at Severus with a meaning smile, to which an embarrassed Silence occurred.
"Well, I have news," said Dumbledore finally broke through serious and thus the silence. Severus stepped back closer to Hermione and looked curiously into the water bowl. She sat still a little cramped on the dresser. It was strange. You and Severus had grown so familiar with each other, but Dumbledore's presence made her nervous. Severus noticed the excited plucking their hands. He took a further step towards her, so that he almost returned to her was as close as before, when they were alone and put his hand on her hands. She had calmed down immediately. The tension disappeared, her attitude got them lowered for them as atypical, stiffness, and their shoulders.
He had not turned his gaze from the shell and Hermione looked over now, but Dumbledore seemed not to care for the events. "The highest priority is still in it come to Boston," he said. "And how shall we come back from there?" Asked Severus, "This, I think the real problem."
Dumbledore continued his friendly smile again. "Here comes the news of which I spoke in, "he said," In Boston there is anyone who can help you. Alphonso Wintergrasp. "Severus looked at the old man, confused. "He has invented the time-turner," added Dumbledore.
"I know who Alphonso Wintergrasp is," Severus said annoyed, "but 1741, he was more than 15 years old. The time-turner, he will invent the earliest in ten years. "" That's true, "said Dumbledore," but documented many historical texts that he first theories placed with respect to time travel at the age of 14 years had. "
" Well fine, then our return depends therefore on a 15-year-old, "muttered Severus.
"This will work out," said Dumbledore calmly, "I have the feeling."
"And did you settled in well, as I see," he changed the subject now. His gaze wandered to Severus' hand, which rested still on Hermione's hands and then Hermione itself, the move evaded his gaze. "Glad" he added, when the two make no move him to answer. Hermione saw him briefly with a furtive glance, whereupon he gave her a warm smile.
"Very well, then I sign up again as soon as there is news," said Dumbledore. He waved to them to his image in the shell disappeared. Severus had overcome the last inch between them and stood back from Hermione's slightly parted legs. She looked thoughtful. He raised his hand and stroked her cheek. "Great news," he said pointedly to himself
"Severus," Finally, they began serious. "I do not want to pretend as if nothing had happened between us."
He looked at her still. Only the sharp crease between his eyebrows revealed that he was not from new knowledge enthusiastic.
sounded from below, a loud bell, announcing the visit in the treatment room. Severus lifted her from the dresser and Hermione went down. She was annoyed that their conversation was interrupted just now. It was Lannox Duncan, who was waiting outside the front door. He pulled his hat down and indicated a slight bow. Hermione stepped aside and let the visitor to enter, which nod in passing to greet Severus, who was in the other door and watched the action.
"I'm having problems with a tooth," said Lannox short and pointed to his already swollen cheek as he turned back to Hermione. She pointed to a wooden chair with reclined back, where her new patient sat down and pulled the curtain from the window far more light into the room to leave, then she went to a shelf at a long wooden stick to . fetch
"Open your mouth wide," she said, bent lower down to him. The opening caused him obvious pain, but he tore it all up. It was not easy in this swollen mass to see anything. She leaned a little farther. The man had terrible bad breath, after she had already set. You could smell the pus. It was a disgusting sweet putrid stench that is almost one pinched the throat. She knew that smell. In her mind she was back in the dark alley, not far from the house of the McCoys, with his back pressed to a cold wall, with coarse lips, closed her mouth and smothered her screams and that same smell in the nose.
was the color of your vanished from the face. A rough hand grabbed her wrist. "You all right?" Asked the Lannox struck their solidification. She did not know if her head she might not be playing a prank, but in the rough to the touch that had wrapped around her wrist, she knew she was not mistaken. With a terrible cry she tore from his grasp and ran through the narrow door into the kitchen.
She was slammed into Severus, who said her distraught view with concern. "Calm down," he said softly. She breathed at last back to normal, and pressed her face against his chest now. "The he is, "she said finally.
Severus looked at her inquiringly. "The man from the street," she added with a trembling voice.
"Are you quite sure?" Severus asked quietly. She said nothing, instead she nodded against his chest. Severus let go of her and pushed her a piece of themselves. "What are you doing?" Asked Hermione, but he had disappeared through the door into the treatment room.
Lannox got up from his chair and saw a fierce curiosity Severus stormed through the door. "What is the matter? "he asked. No sooner had he uttered the phrase caught him already right fist of the other person. He had caught the already swollen cheek. The blow was hard. Lannox still reeling from the impact of the collision until he lost his balance and landed on all fours.
Severus seized him by the hair and pulled his head higher, so that was Lannox forced him to look. "Hey man, what's going on, what have I done to you?" He stammered fearfully. What a knee hit the gloomy man for this insolence against his nose.
He let go of his hair and Lannox fell on his hands resting, back to the ground. It looked as if he were choking, but he spit only in a considerable puddle of blood on the floor before he looked up at Severus, who gave him another kick in the stomach. He had an incredible twinkle in his black eyes, Hermione had never seen in him. She stood in the door and was rooted to. She knew it was wrong, but to see this pig bleed for intoxicated formally communicate its meaning.
Severus got one foot on chest Lannox and prevented him from getting up. He seized him by his shirt collar and pulled him closer to himself as he bent down to him.
"I did you do anything, but if you lay hands up on my wife, I take this personally," he said in a soft ice-cold voice. Severus drew his wand and pointed it at the bloodied man on his foot.
"Avada ..."
"STOP!" Said Hermione, and finally came out of the door came in the room. She ran to Severus, who, his wand still aimed always Lannox, questioningly. She grabbed his arm to lower it. "Your magic wand is not sealed," she said quietly, "you have said yourself that a more powerful spell is too dangerous."
"Then I might do it the old fashioned way & ldquo ; he said grimly, and put his wand again.
"No," Hermione interrupted him again. Severus stared at her blankly. "Do you want because no revenge?" He asked. "But," they muttered, "but I could not live with the knowledge that I am responsible for the death of a man. No matter what a creep he is, "she said with bowed head. A deep shadow hanging over her eyes. Severus went to her, his first impulse, and put his arm around her. He probably would have
must be relieved, but the feeling in his belly tasted more like disappointment. "And what shall we do with him?" He asked and went to the motionless man lying on the ground, who had been following the conversation just. "Today is probably your lucky day," murmured Severus. He reached out and struck Lannox unconscious. Hermione gave a little scream. "What are you doing?" She asked anxiously. He pulled out his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa", with a skilful swing suspended, he had the motionless body.
"It would not just advantageous if herumspräche what happened here," he replied calmly, "I will bring it up to the lab and tonight, when it is dark, I miss him a Oblivate him out and make it. "
He walked through the door and disappeared into the kitchen. Hermione felt as if stunned. She went to her desk and sat down on the little chair. Someone had opened the door, but Hermione did not respond. She heard footsteps coming towards him, which was followed by a frightened air feeding. "What happened here?" Asked a familiar voice that she could clearly assign her friend Ginny.
Ginny had only seen the blood on the floor and saw in Hermione's blank face. The voice of her friend Hermione pulled back into the spacious treatment rooms. She drew her wand and made the ground with one wipe clean again. "A patient," she said simply.
"Is everything all right?" Asked Ginny.
Hermione nodded. She had not seen Ginny and dared not say anything for fear her voice would betray them. She went out into the kitchen and ran up the stairs. Severus had just come from the lab. He locked the door with an easy charm and laid a sound protection spell it, then he turned around and stood directly in front of Hermione. She looked distraught still something, but her face had regained color. He took her chin in his hand and lifted her face to, so they had to look him straight in the eye. The cold that she had not seen it until recently, had disappeared and some incredibly dark eyes looked at her. His gaze was so intense, he could just look into it.
"You all right?" He asked. It was the second time that she heard that question, but this time they did not have to be adjusted. "Yes," she said quietly. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her lips gently. She had again separated from him and leaned her face against his chest now. There was a comfortable silence, the was permeated by a loud stomach growl. Severus had to grin and Hermione's cheeks were a light shade of red on.
"Let's eat," he said and pulled her toward the stairs. The kitchen was filled again. On the table were Ron, Harry and to her great surprise, Draco, who played a card game, while Ginny, Neville and Lavender dinner prepared. Hermione quickly washed his hands and helped her friends, while Severus in a chair in the corner sat and watched the action. It's fun to watch her. She knew exactly what to do and told the others that would otherwise only serve up some random thing. It was a bit like in Potions class, Severus remembered, with a scarcely perceptible smile on his lips. While the other students randomly threw their ingredients in the pan, followed Hermione all the time on a thread from the beginning of the complete sequence of their coordinated.
you had put the food on the table and Neville invited to a welcoming gesture for a table. Severus watched still Hermione, who squeezed a little magic with a few oranges. He had this strange feeling that he did not know if he should dare but while he still struggled with herself in the head, he was already up. She stood with her back turned to him. He laid a hand on her shoulder and turned her over. Astonished, he looked at Hermione. He had his arm around her waist, while the other went from her shoulder to her head to the kiss, he pulled in to support them. She had instantly wrapped her arms around him to respond to the kiss.
Breathless she had again dissolved and Hermione looked at Severus with a smile. "They fixed it?" He asked dryly. Hermione ventured a glance over his shoulder and saw a number of dumbfounded faces. Only Ginny could not resist a grin. "A little," she whispered back. "Stop staring," he hissed out loud what the others let go at the table violently.
"Why the change of heart?" Wanted to know Hermione yet, but Severus merely raised his shoulders in reply. He reached past her and took her behind a pot of freshly squeezed juice, which he placed on the table and sat down. Up to Draco, who threw him incredulous looks and Harry, who glared at him angrily, no one dared to see the two. There was a incredible silence that threatened to explode at any moment. Hermione, Harry's piercing eyes felt tried to be as unobtrusive as possible to behave, but Severus Harry clearly enjoyed it provoke further. He took the pot with the juice and poured Hermione said after he had supported a hand on her shoulder.
Harry slammed his cutlery on the table. The loud crash was Ginny and Neville wince immediately next to him. "You miserable bastard," Harry snapped at him. Severus raised an eyebrow and looked at his opponent pejorative. "How dare you so shamelessly exploit their situation?" Harry continued to rage. "Now, make me a break," Hermione stepped in, "That was my decision and what it means anything, my situation?"
Harry rolled her eyes. "You see it not once," he said, "We are here on this island, then he gives you out even as his wife. You fell into the spider web. "
" Thank you for your understanding, a simple, we are happy for you that you are happy, would have been enough, " snapped back bitter. Harry got up angry and hurried up the stairs. Ron and Lavender followed him, throwing Hermione looks disappointed. Neville poked huddled around on his plate and dared not look up there. Ginny was now on as well. She tried desperately to bring out a smile. "I talk to him," she said, and also went up the stairs. Draco grinned broadly Interlace hands behind his head. "I do not know but what you find in this sludge blood, but it was worth all the time," he says gleefully.
"GET OUT!" Spat Severus at him and pointed the finger at the stairs. The piercing voice of his godfather called together pass him and wiped him his smug grin off his face. He got up and followed the others up the stairs. Neville grabbed the opportunity and was also hastily to Draco to run after.
"is indeed running fine," Severus said sarcastically. "The need to make friends with the idea," replied Hermione. Severus raised both eyebrows and told her so with his unvorhandenen optimism. She seemed so confident and not even her face was quickly lost. He went to her and put an arm on her shoulder. Hermione let out a deep and leaned her head against his chest. He grabbed her from behind around the waist and pulled her closer to himself. His warm breath tickled her neck.
"This has also advantages," he whispered in her ear, "we are guaranteed not soon see again." His hand went down her leg and pulled up her skirt. He walked her bare leg up again. The skin beneath his fingers felt like silk. Then he went on under her shirt and rubbed gently on her breast.
He pressed her ass harder against his erection, and rubbed on the fabric of her panties before he unbuttoned her shirt and eagerly kissed her neck and neck. A loud bang and a shrill cry, they suddenly pulled out of its familiarity. Hermione pulled her skirt back down and buttoned up her shirt. Severus was already running with his magic staff in hand, up the stairs.
She hurried after him, up in the hallway. The door to the lab was open. Lannox was before it. His face was hardly recognizable, with a huge black eye, a shattered nose, knocked out teeth and blood encrusted on his face. He had the knife with which his Severus Ingredients, cut in the hand and held it in Lavender, who wears a simple shirt, was at his throat while he laid the other hand by the hair did.
Ron stood rigid in his door at the other end of the hall. The crash also Ginny, Harry, Neville and Draco had had come out. "Let her go, Lannox," Severus said quietly, but the man across from him was not impressed. He put on a wry grin. "Otherwise what?" He asked provocatively. "Believe me it is up to you do not want," replied Severus and increased the grip on his wand.
Lannox Lavender shoved before him, and walked a few steps on the stairs and Severus. Severus Hermione pushed aside. "Out of the way," he hissed at Lannox. The nervousness seemed to him to see clearly, because he pressed the knife so tightly Lavender against the neck, whereas a clear Kuhle was to identify and crack it so vigorously by the hair, that their tears over the face ran. Backward he went with her down the stairs, Severus always keep in mind. "Let them go," Severus repeated this time demanding.
Lannox stopped and sat a nasty grin on the knife before he dropped something and Lavender missed a short cut in the shoulder. She screamed out loud, but it has strengthened its grip only about her hair and pressed the knife against her throat again.
"Avada Kedavra," came a deep voice. A glistening light beam came out of Severus wand that plunged the whole room in green light and at the other end of the bar erupted with a violent bang. Severus gave a jolt some hard yards on the ground. Lannox 'grip on Lavender's hair was loose, the knife fell to the ground and then rolled the lifeless body of the man down the stairs backwards.
Hermione hurried anxious to Severus, who still lay motionless on the floor always. "You all right?" She asked in a shaky voice. He sat up and reached up with a distorted expression to the head. "Yes, everything OK," he said. Hermione breathed in relief.
"Damn it again!", It broke out of her and pounded against his chest, "It could have gone wrong. What if it had been more than just a rebound? "" Was but it is not, "Severus said dryly. He sits up and went back to the stairs. Lavender was still standing there like frozen and only came to himself, as Severus rudely shoved to the side to see past her. At the end of the stairs was a dead body. Severus went down and the others followed him. They all stared spellbound at the man on the ground. For a moment there was silence that was broken by a loud knock at the back door. It knocked again when no one opened or answered. "Severus?", She heard Conner, "Is everything all right with them? I was just in the neighborhood and her house, it has, " He paused for a moment, "it has shone green," he said incredulously. "What happened?"
