Back in time...

Chapter 19

Well, I am an awful person...9 months...it's actually been 9 months since my last update...wow. I'm sorry, I really am and I could make excuses but instead I'm just gonna finish this little asshole for you guys. Here goes.... 

Everything seemed to move in slow motion, Hermione's head rotated, a wisp of chestnut hair falling in front of her eyes as they locked onto Severus Snape, her Severus. He looked formidable, the crease between his eyebrows was deep and full of anguish, his mouth drew in a tight, pursed line and his eyes, his eyes were on fire. The black orbs that she had so often seen full of love and happiness were possessed with hatred  as the bore down on the waning figure of Tom Riddle. 

"SECTUMSEMPRA" 

Hermione was snapped back to reality, curses flew over her head as she struggled to understand what was happening. The room was moving so quickly, Lucius was forced back into the large oak cabinet his head hitting against it with a sickening crack, Hermione followed the curve of his limp arm and caught sight of his wand rolling from it's failing grasp, fueled with energy she squirmed across the floor towards it, quickly rolling onto her back to dodge a falling antique vase as it shattered against the floor where she had just been. She was close, stretching out her index finger, the knocked the tip of the wand into her other outstretched hand and swiftly jumped up joining the action. 

The room was chaotic, Severus, James, Sirius, Remus and Lily were launching spell after spell onto the few death eaters that had rushed to their Lord's aid. Sirius appeared to be unaware of the large gash spreading from his hip across his thigh and down to his battered knee as he hurtled a entail expelling curse upon a masked death eater who went down immediately. From her position at the side, Hermione began casting protective spells upon her rescuers as they bore down upon the last of Voldemort's followers protecting his precious, pathetic, pitiful little master. And soon only the shriveled and weak outline of Tom Riddle remained. 

Severus raised his wand. 

"Avad-" 

"No" 

Hermione had crossed the room and placed a hand on Snape's outstretched arm. It fell, his shoulders hunched and pulled he Hermione into his arms, sinking to the ground and gathering her into his embrace.  

Sirius and Remus up took his position with their wands raised on the feeble Dark Lord and with a joint 'Expelliarmus' his wand flew across the grand rooms floor.

"James, send a petronus to Dumbledore and tell him to gather the aurors" Lily spoke. "Severus, you can go now." 

And with a crack, the ball of Severus and Hermione had disappeared.  

Oooh tenseee. I know it's short but by know you should expect that from me. I hope you enjoyed that and hopefully a little empilogue will be uploaded really soon.
