Chapter 10 Revelation

Severus arrived back at the castle late at night and headed towards his chambers. Lucianda was one that he would notch up to his better trysts as she welcomed his harsh manipulations. Though a satisfying dalliance he left for the first time unfulfilled. Visions of a brown eyed witch formed in his mind and changed directions instead heading to her lab to check up on her.

Opening the door he found Hermione asleep among a pile of parchments. Not surprising he thought as he looked to her. He wondered what she did when not actively involved in research. Surely she would have a wizard of her own and quickly dismissed the thought as other than her parents and Potter she did not contact anyone else.

He pulled the quill out of her hand and gently picked her up and walked to the door leading to her chambers.

"Isss sandalwood…reminds me of Sev…" She whispered out.

Severus stilled, hoping that the witch would not awaken. After a moment he moved again when he was sure that she was still sleeping. Entering her bedchambers he laid her on the bed and looked down for a moment undecided. He then removed her shoes and touched a wand to her transfiguring her clothes to a long red cotton nightgown and covered her with a blanket that was at the foot of her bed. He pulled a parchment out of his robes and tapped it realizing that they did not discuss the plans Albus made concerning her when the students arrived. Placing the parchment on the bed stand along with her wand, he watched her for a moment and turned to leave, dark robes billowing behind him.

Striding down the darkened hallways he thought of the witch and decided that he would take himself off the market. Their research was going to take more of his time anyway he argued to himself, ignoring the small voice that told him that he became interested more in Hermione Granger than a revenge fuck.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione woke up in her bed and stretched out confused that she was in her bed. She was sure that she fell asleep in her lab. She glanced over and picked up the parchment beside her wand.

Recently Incomplete Minion,

There is a notion called bed and it has many uses. The main use being where one goes to get a restful sleep. Your lab does not count as a place for restful sleep.

You will be residing here at Hogwart's when the students arrive and you will become Minerva's apprentice to Transfiguration to explain your presence here.

As far as actions on your own I demand I be involved based on your recent request. No more research on your own if you expect me to dismiss your role. I wish to be involved with the muggle blood work as well.

Your Ex-Master

Hermione re-read the parchment and placed it down with a smile. It was his way of saying they were a team.

Taking care of her morning rituals she took a hot shower and stepped out, wrapping a towel around her. Stepping to her wardrobe she decided that she would wear robes and pulled out a midnight blue robes and set them on her bed and turned back to the wardrobe and pulled out a white button down blouse with small tight pleats running down the center and then put on a skirt that matched the color of her robes.

She shrugged on the outer robes and went to the charmed mirror to brush her hair. "Nice to see robes dear considering that you are now part of the faculty."

"Word certainly travels fast considering I just found out. Besides I felt like wearing robes today and not because I am an apprentice so don't get used to it." Laughing when she heard the mirror tsk out.

Calling down the house owl assigned to her she penned out a request to meet her colleague in her lab and sent the owl on its way.

Walking into her lab she sat down at her desk and read her notes from the last evening.

Turning on her laptop she observed the still photos of the separated blood from the centerfuge, large irregular blobs inside the white blood cells. It was interesting that the Lythecompfy cells attatched themselves directly to the white blood cells filling them and at first look one would not realize that they were looking at white blood cells. It was amazing and defied all that was known.

She noticed a presence and looked up from the laptop and to Severus Snape standing before her. "Good Morning Hermione."

"Same to you Severus. Have a seat." Pulling a chair next to her. "Severus this is amazing and different from what I found in vampire blood. The wolf cells actually imbed themselves into the white blood cells mainly Eosinophil and that prevents the body from recognizing the parasite. Unbelievable!" She spoke excitedly.

"Calm yourself Hermione." Sitting next to her and looked to the display of the laptop. "I am a Potions Master and understand your work with blood up to a point. Explain your excitement and give me a basic understanding of working with blood."

She closed her laptop and pulled out a textbook and copied it and handed him one. They spent the next two hours in discussion watching as he took notes and wrote in the text book.

"I'll show you Severus." Whispering a spell and filling a phial with her blood and placed it into the centerfuge. "It will take ten minutes." Explaining the purpose of the machine.

She prepped the slide and the monitor showed the cells exactly as in the book. She pulled out the slide of Harry's separated white blood cells and turned on the monitor. "See!"

Severus looked to the two monitors. "They appear the same to me."

Hermione looked up from the slide. "What…?" Looking up to the monitor and found Severus words were true. "That's impossible! I have the still shots!" She shrilled out.

"I suggest you prep the other samples that you have and see what the results are." He calmly replied. "Get a hold of yourself witch!" Grabbing her shoulder and shaking her for a moment before he let go.

Hermione looked into his black eyes for a moment and gathered herself. "Of course Severus." She calmly replied and gathered the samples and one hour later and found that all was the same. The only exception was the red blood cells which contained the foreign cells in the same exact amounts and they were different earlier. She had the photos on her laptop to prove it.

"I was sure that I narrowed the answer to our problem Severus." She muttered out.

"Not a setback Hermione but interesting." He replied. "Perhaps we should focus on why the Wolfsbane Potion is effective and test the blood with various ingrediants and see what happens."

"You're right Severus. But I need to send Uncle Welford what I found out. He is a muggle expert on blood and guiding me on my research. I need to go to my flat and connect to the internet." Scanning the parchments and saving it on her laptop. "Would you like to accompany me?"

Severus eyed the contraption. "An owl could deliver the parchments."

She laughed. "They could but Uncle Welford hates owls with a passion. I really don't understand it."

"I will accompany you Hermione." Looking forward to seeing her residence. Where one lived told of the personality and traits of a person.

Severus walked beside her out of the castle and out of the gates of Hogwarts. Her robes were tasteful and not gaudy.

Hermione turned to Severus. "I have strong wards placed on my flat and we will have to side-apparate. Do you mind?"

Severus nodded feeling her arms wrap around his waist and turned her heel and soon they were away with a clap.

He found himself in a lightly furnished living room tastefully decorated and felt her release him and immediately went to a desk and plugged a cord into her computer and began to type.

Finishing her actions she looked to him. "Let me fix some food for us Severus as we wait my Uncle's response if you don't mind. Make yourself at home and if you look to the cabinant in the left hand corner you should find something to drink. No Firewhiskey as I do not drink it often." She warned.

He watched her leave the room and walked over to the cabinent and observed the contents deciding on a brandy and poured two portions, placing one on the coffee table and observed the room noticing several frames of pictures and moved to look at them.

One was of an older couple smiling and recognized that the couple was the witch's parents. Moving along there was the predictable moving pictures of Potter and Weasley in various stages throughout their school years. He glanced to a small table and noticed pictures of him at trial along with other pictures of witches and wizards with a small candle and a stick of incense sitting beside it. He picked it up smelling the scent of sandalwood drifting from it and placed it back down hearing movement.

Hermione stood holding a pan looking embarrassed. "I remember all that sacrificed."

"There is no shame in that and I wonder why you have me placed alongside of those that died. Unlike those I am still alive."

"One does not need to die to sacrifice Severus Snape." She softly replied. "Come on to the kitchen. I've made Sheppard's pie for us."

He followed her into a small kitchen with a table set in the middle and sat down and watched Hermione place the pan on the table and placed food on her plate.

They ate in a comfortable silence until a rap on the window sounded out and Hermione stood up and went to the window and took the paper from the elf.

She went to sit back down and heard a beep sound from the living room. "That must be Uncle Welford. Let's see what he has to say."

He followed her to the living room and watched as she read the screen of her laptop. "He wants to meet with us now Severus. He thinks that he may have an answer for us."

Severus noticed the excitement in her eyes. "I have nothing planned if you wish for me to accompany you."

She typed her response asking if they could appear directly into his house and sent the message off. The computer beeped with a response and she read her Uncle's reply.

She undocked her computer and placed it in a backpack. "We can apparate straight into his house. Are you ready Severus?" Holding out her hand to him.

He grasped her small and felt himself pulled away and suddenly in a muggle lab.

An older short skinny man brushed past him and hugged Hermione. "Hello Goose. It's been a while and I'm surprised Hermione. Moving to another mythical creature when stumped by another? Ahhhoooo!" Mock howling as he hugged his niece.

"Uncle Welford this is serious and werewolves exists." Hermione mock admonished her uncle and hugged him back. "I suppose I'll have to prove it to you just like the vampires." She grumbled pulling out her laptop.

"Of course Goose. And this must be the research partner that you mentioned and not properly introduced." Looking up to the tall pale man dressed in black.

"Oh sorry Uncle. This is Severus Snape Master of Potions and a professor in our world. Severus this is my Uncle Welford who is an expert in blood. Everything that I know he taught me."

"Pleased to meet you." Snape replied in a neutral voice unsure of what he thought of the man.

Welford heard the underlying doubt in the man's voice. "Show me the proof Goose. Your partner is way too somber and serious so we shall get to business."

Severus stood aside not wishing to see the video of Potter in his glory again.

Hermione and Welford watched the video and the interview of Harry the next day.

Welford removed his glasses and looked to his niece. "Your world continues to amaze me Hermione. And the answer to your changed cells is simple considering your world and the make-up of your magic."

He turned to Severus. "You'll have to forgive her. She attended schools designed for the intellectually challenged until she received the letter and moved to your world. Sometimes the simplest solutions alludes one of such intelligence and I suspect that you fall into that same category considering your experience."

"Just give us an answer if you know it." Severus growled out deciding that he did not care for this muggle.

"Ahhhooooo!" Welford howled out and chuckled and looked to his guest. "Think about the subject that you are researching."

Severus pulled Hermione aside. "This is a waste of time and I question your uncle's sanity."

"No Severus. Uncle Welford is brilliant and this is his way of helping us realize the answer. He does this to me all the time. He never gives out the answer unless I am truly stumped. Just work with it." She pleaded.

"I'll play this game then." Glaring to the short man. "We are researching Werewolves Welford." He growled out.

Welford chuckled. "That you are to be sure."

Hermione spoke. "They are individuals that change because of an infection of their blood based on my research."

"Very true Goose and I agree based on what I have seen." Uncle Welford replied.

There was silence as both pondered. Hermione spoke. "They change at the full moon."

Welford chuckled. "And that is your answer Hermione. What is it about the moon?"

Severus concentrated on his knowledge of the moon. There was a full moon ceremony with wiccans and enough potions that could not be completed unless brewed on the full moon realizing the answer. "The moon affects the blood! But I do not understand how it could be." He exclaimed.

"It's science Professor Snape. From what Hermione tells me of your world there is none of that in the sense that I know of. You simply accept givens and do not question it."

"I remember being taught how the moon affects tides. The strongest tides occur during the full moon. So the answer is the gravitational pull of the earth and the moon." Hermione spoke out.

"Well done Goose." Welford replied. "That is the answer though I am unsure how it relates to your research for a cure. I observed the cells in the photos that you sent me Hermione. There was no difference in the red blood cells and always present in them. The answer is in the white blood cells of that I am sure." He looked to his niece. "You are gathering daily samples?"

"Yes Uncle. There is a potion that Harry took that allowed him to retain his human thoughts and acts when transformed. We are starting that line of research."

"Look to the white blood cells but do not ignore the red. The answer to your research leads to the red as they affect the white. Focus on that with whatever you have in the magical world. There is nothing in the muggle world that I could offer as a cure. This is an infection worse than cancer as it changes DNA."

She thought about that for a moment. "You are right Uncle. During the fight for the Light Bill Weasley was attacked by one infected but not changed as he was outside the moon. Bill does have wolfish tendencies and scars."

Welford hugged his niece. "So you know what you have to do. The reason that all of your blood changed is because it is a slave to the moon and its pull to the Earth. You must start with fresh samples and pursue it as it changes. There lies your answer and I hope that you succeed. The wolf's blood is different when compared to the vampire. The vampire blood never changes while the wolf's blood does. It proves to be a difficult challenge for you both."

Hermione released her Uncle's hug. "Thank you Uncle and I'll keep you informed. You proved once again you are my hero. We'll update you soon."

Welford watched his niece hold out her hand to her partner. "Be well Goose." Watching them disappear.

Severus felt himself pulled and found himself at the gates of Hogwarts.

"I'll see you tomorrow Severus. We know what we have to do now." Hermione spoke and left her partner.

He watched her leave observing the swish of her robes. He had much to think about Hermione Granger and wondered if she would accept him. He realized that there was more to the witch than what she presented.

Severus allowed himself a small smile. He enjoyed having her cook for him and her relaxed actions around him despite what he revealed in memories that he gave her. She accepted him for what he was, nothing more or less. No witch never did that for him including Lilly Evans.

He made his way up to the castle looking forward to the morning and their research.
