Chapter 21
Severus once again stayed in her chambers and escorted her to the Great Hall and took his place and began to eat. This time the students noticed and the hall was abuzz in a possible pairing their Potions professor and the Transfiguration apprentice. A glare from the hated professor in question and the hall turned to talk of Quidditch which was a safer subject to talk about during breakfast.
Hermione finished her breakfast and immediately turned to the Daily Prophet and turned to the obituaries and found two more werewolves listed as deceased. She turned to Harry who just arrived. "You need to purchase your own food and have Dobby cook it in our quarters. I'll add a basic kitchen to our quarters later today. There are two more dead."
Harry glowered. "I know Hermione. Albus told me that there is distrust from the werewolves because no one has ever taken the time to help them. I have an idea that I am going to talk to Albus about but I don't want to act rashly. You know how I am."
Hermione chuckled. "I'm proud of you Harry."
Harry stood up and picked up his broom and smiled. "I guess wisdom comes with age. See ya at lunch." She shook her head and read the rest of the Prophet before making her way to her labs. The Polyjuice potion was going as expected and soon they would be ready to blend the charm and the potion together. She already decided to use Draco as her test subject as he had not yet experienced the transformation.
Hermione entered her lab mind thinking of Polyjuice potion, its properties and limitations. Sitting at her desk she began to write her thoughts out.
It only last one hour a dose when taken orally.
It cannot be used with animal hair as not meant to be used to transform one into an animal.
She paused at that one remembering her stay at the infirmary when she inadvertently gathered cat hair in her second year. Oh Merlin! What if there were animal properties in hair?
She quickly penned out a parchment and left it on her desk to let anyone know that she was visiting Uncle Welford.
Hermione strode over to a workstation and grabbed a bag containing Draco's hair and put it into her laptop bad and turned her heel and Apparated away.
She arrived at in an alley close to the Leicester Royal Infirmary and rushed to her Uncle's lab taking a moment to transfigure her robes into muggle clothes as she quickly walked to the hospital. Taking the elevator to the third floor she exited and walked to Welford's lab and noticed the door closed and locked. The door was never closed when he was at work and he never missed a day. Frowning she pulled out her wand and uttered "Alohomora." And heard the lock click.
She then placed a shield charm on her and slowly opened the door and found her uncle's lab in a total mess with two robed figures looking at a pile their backs to her. "Time to die man. Why not come out and take it like a man? It will be worse if I have to dig you out of there." She heard a male voice with a cold hard voice.
She moved silently into the lab and silently caste "Petrificus Totalus!" and watched one wizard fall as the other turned around and fired a quick set of hexes before a loud clap sounded out and the wizard disappeared. She walked up to the frozen wizard. "Relashio!" Watching ropes spit out or wand and tie the wizard up tight. She kicked the wand out of his hand with her foot, her wand still pointing at him. "Langlock!" The bound wizard looked back to her in anger and heard "Stupefy!" and knew no more.
"Uncle Welford where are you?" She cried out. "Here Hermione!"
She heard a voice shout out and looked to broken shelves and equipment covering him. She pointed her wand at the mess and shouted out "Reparo!" Watching the heavy set of shelves repair themselves and looked to her uncle on the floor. She rushed to her uncle and knelt beside him. "Are you okay Welford?"
"I think I have a few ribs broken niece and one leg is definitely broken." He wheezed out and smiled. "Friends of yours?" He asked.
She thought of Severus and stated "Expecto Patronum." And watch the otter spit forth and move to her. "You must go now to Severus Snape at Hogwarts and tell him to come here immediately as I am in danger. Third Floor Uncle Welford's lab, Leicester Royal Infirmary." She watched the otter disappear and knelt down beside her uncle in case the wizard that escaped brought others.

Severus was teaching Third year Ravenclaw/ Hufflepuff and stopped his lecture when he saw a silvery form of an otter bounce along his walls. "Class dismissed and get out of here now!" The students closed their book and immediately left wondering of the silvery form.
Severus watched his class leave and locked the classroom door and felt the otter move around his shoulders and stilled in front of him. "You must go now to Severus Snape at Hogwarts and tell him to come here immediately as I am in danger. Third Floor Uncle Welford's lab, Leicester Royal Infirmary." Speaking in Hermione's voice.
He pulled his wand away from his sleeve and thought of the Patronus' words and concentrated immediately turning his heal and Apparated away. He found himself in a white room in disarray and held his wand out and located Hermione and her uncle in a corner.
He quickly cast protective spells around the room, noticing the unconscious bound wizard on the floor. Stepping over the form he moved to Hermione and knelt down. "Are you hurt?"
"No Severus but look to Uncle Welford."
Severus pointed his wand and casted diagnostic spells. "Broken ribs and a nasty break in your right leg Welford. If I left you to muggle care you would have a permanent limp and trouble with it for the rest of your life. You are in danger Welford Granger. I can get people to protect you."
He pulled out a phial out of his robes and handed it to the muggle. "Pain potion Welford and it will make you sleep."
The room flared out red and Severus calmly stated. "Do not drink that now Welford. We must get away now as my spells of protection are being breached. Hermione take him to the Infirmary. He will be safe enough there for a time."
Hermione gathered her uncle in her arms and Apparated away without a word.
Severus held his wand out debating for a moment to confront whoever was out there and decided against it instead grabbing the bound figure from the floor and Apparating away.

Hermione arrived in the Infirmary and led him to a bed and helped him sit down. Poppy came over. "What do we have here?"
"This is my Uncle Welford. I went to visit him at his office and found a couple of wizards trying to kill him. I managed to subdue one but the other got away. I sent for Severus and before we could do anything else the protective spell Severus set up indicated that they were being broken and he commanded me to come here." "Dear dear dear." Poppy exclaimed and pulled up a chair to look over her patient. "Do you know if you were hit with any spells or hexes Welford?"
Welford wheezed out. "There were flashes of light shooting around hitting everything but me. I'm a doctor and I know that I have broken ribs and a broken leg."
Poppy pointed her wand and ran diagnostic spells. "Quite a few broken ribs and I can heal those easily along with your punctured lung. And definitely a broken leg doctor. Wait here a moment and I'll get a few potions which will take care of your punctured lung and help with pain."
"Goose when I get fixed up by the lovely lady we are going to have a talk."
"I'm sorry Welford. Thank god that I had a question for you. If I hadn't….I mean…" Hermione stuttered.
"Ssssh Goose. Your colleague is a very calm man that can think on his feet. I was scared spitless and I know you were yet he showed nothing."
"He was a double spy during the war so he has seen a lot."
"And done a lot no doubt." Welford fell silent watching his niece. He watched her grow up and sensed there was more to her colleague then she revealed.
Poppy with two phials and handed one to her patient. "This one is for pain." She watched the man drink it down grimacing
"That taste like…"
And this one is for your lung." Interrupting the man's comment. "It taste marginally better but not by much."
After a minute Welford spoke. "This is marvelous. I feel no pain whatsoever."
"Now we can look at your leg. Please lie down."
Hermione helped Welford lie down and get comfortable.
Poppy motioned to Hermione. "Lie in the bed across from this and I will check you over. No buts." Ending Hermione's refusal before voicing it.
Hermione watched the curtain close and walked to the bed and lay down. The events of the day left her worn and soon fell fast asleep.

Severus took the wizard to a safehouse that the Order used when active and put the man on the floor. He bent down and took in the facial features and after a moment of study he was sure that he did not know him. Stepping out he placed strong wards to ensure that the man did not escape and then turned his heel and disappeared with a loud clap of sound.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Severus updated Albus and agreed to meet at the safehouse where they could question Welford's attacker. He made his way to the Infirmary sure that Hermione would not leave her uncle.
Walking in he noticed Hermione in a bed with Harry sitting down in a chair beside her. He swept up and addressed Harry. "Is she well?" Keeping the worry he felt out of his voice. "Poppy says she is exhausted Master Snape but she should wake up soon." Pulling a seat. "Poppy is tight lipped about everything. Care to tell me the story as I am not allowed to act."
He looked down at the young man and saw the frustration in his eyes. "Of course Harry. Listen carefully for I will only tell you once."
Harry listened as his ex-professor spoke with no hint of malice in his voice. Harry held any questions until the end of the story at the mention that there would be a meeting in a few hours to question the captured wizard. "Can I go to the meeting? I feel useless and this is my fault." Severus's dark obsidian eyes looked into the green eyes that he remembered from Lily. "Harry I promise I will tell you everything when I get back. That wizard is dangerous and he kills werewolves. If you come with us you may be a liability. He knows about you Harry and our research. That was why Hermione's uncle was attacked to take away a needed resource. Someone wants us to fail." Severus picked up Harry's hand squeezing it for a moment and dropped it. "I promise that you will play a part Harry but not at this time." Harry watched him stand up. "You've changed Master Snape."
"I have Harry and it is only because of her." Severus replied before leaving the Infirmary to go back to the safe house.

Severus waited in the hallway of the safe house when Albus walked through with Kingsley, Draco, and three people that he did not recognize.
Albus saw the scowl on his ex-spys face and held up his hind. "Still your protest Professor Snape . These fine people are not loyal to the Minister. You know the Minister is behind this."
"As you wish Headmaster." Severus snarled out. "I do not like this at all."
Albus patted his shoulder. "I know Severus and I assure you all will be well."
The group walked into the room where the uncouncious wizard lay on the floor. Albus motioned Kingsley over. "Be ready to administer the potion. Draco be prepared in case the wizard is unwilling to take it."
Draco nodded and knelt beside the man looking up to Severus ready.
"Kingsley get ready." Severus warned and pointed his wand to the prisoner and incanted "Ineverate!"
The man moaned out and Draco caught his jaw to and kept his mouth open while Kingsley forced the veritesrrium down. Draco howled out in pain when he felt the wizard close his jaw biting his thumb, drawing blood. Draco managed to pull away as the wizard's eyes glazed over.
Severus knelt beside the silver haired wizard. "You feel compelled to answer my questions truthfully. What is your name?" T
he wizard fought the potions effect before he spat out "Nikoli Yaxley!"
Severus continued. "Very good Nikoli. Who was the wizard with you when you attacked the muggle Welford Granger?"
The wizard shook more before he spat out. "Sergi! My brother."
"What was commanded of you by your brother Nikoli and why did he call you?"
"We are assasins and he called a debt to us and gave us beads and a list of werewolves. We are instructed to catch them and pour beads down the throat. A simpletask."
Severus looked to the wizard. "Who commanded you to kill Welford Granger?"
The wizard gave up fighting the potion. "Your Minister."
"And who is your ultimate target?"
"Your Minister and our brother wants Harry Potter dead along with every werewolf."
Severus looked down. "Are you a Deatheater?"
"We do not involve ourselves with groups. Sergi and I act when hired out."
Severus stood up and looked to the group. "Is that enough?"
The group conferred and Albus spoke. "Yes Severus and thank you. I will get Molly Weasley to look over him until needed. He watched the group leave and watched Draco knelt down beside the wizard.
Grey eyes looked into ice ones. "You bit me and now you are one of us. Think about where your loyalties lie for the Minister will not allow you to live."
"I do not believe you!" The wizard snarled out.
Draco laughed. "It is and you will find out in two weeks."
Severus pointed his wand down. "It is and I suggest you think about it. I'll leave you bound to think about it and when you decide you want to talk freely I will come to you."
Sergi Yaxley watched the lank dark haired man leave and thought about his fate.
