AN Chapter 25 Success?

Severus arrived with Albus at the safe house that Harry was taken to and watched the man. He did not look worse for wear and was shaking Healer's hand.

Hermione noticed Severus arrive and rushed to him hugging him for a moment before she kissed him deeply and pulled away. "We did it Severus!"

He pulled her back and looked to her. "Potter did not change?"

"No Severus not at all!"

"It's not a cure." He growled out.

Healer Thywaite spoke. "It's not Professor Snape but it's enough to go on to verify the next month as a stop gap measure the closest one has found in seven hundred years. How did it go with Lord Malfoy?"

Severus spoke. "Draco had no prior information about what happens when a werewolf transform and was frightened up until he said that he felt strange like something was pulling at him. The transformation went as we observed with Harry and when the sun rose he demanded that we leave and we did."

Healer Thywaite looked to her. "If Lord Malfoy and Harry are together next month and keep their forms then I think that we can put this forth as a stop gap measure. Harry what do you think?"

"Do you think we can give the cure to those werewolves in Azkaban as well? It would wrap things up considering they have been around no one for a number of years."

"An excellent idea Harry and I'll get Kingsley on it." Albus spoke moving close enough to whisper his next words into the young man's ear. "Go to Draco as soon as you can. He needs you and I told him you would be at Hogwarts."

Harry nodded and watched Albus leave with Healer Thywaite and turned to Hermione.

Hermione found sadness in those light green eyes of his finding sadness in them on a day that he should be excited for his future was about to change for him. She rushed over to Harry and pulled him into her arms and held him as he began to sob.

Severus watched the pair for a moment and left the room without a sound.

Severus arrived at the gates and began the trek up thinking about his Godson's transformation. He could smell the fear emanating from the young man. If he had known about what Harry truly went through he would have given the blasted man the poison he requested. Being a cold hearted bastard worked to his favor for once as that allowed Hermione to waltz in to his life.

He chuckled to himself remembering their conversation beginning with the comments on the ridiculous muggle T-shirt she wore with the words "Do you wish to be stirred or brewed?" and the conversation about the score she would receive in minion training. Yes she gave back as good as she got.

He placed his hand in the pocket of his robes touched the small black box. Despite what he was she wanted him and chose and accepted him not making any demands of change on his part. Damn it all to Hells! Albus was right and it was time for him to begin to live again and he could do that with her by his side.

Severus made his way to Hermione's lab deciding to wait for her there and drew his wand out when he stood at the door hearing loud noises, shouts and bangs. He opened the door with caution before jumping in holding his wand out. "What in Merlin is going on in here?" He snarled out.

The man spinning in the wheelchair knocking over chairs stopped and looked up to Severus. "Look Poppy! Tall, Dark and Grumpy is back!" He shouted out happily.

Poppy turned from the workstation she was at. "Welford give some respect!" She admonished watching her colleague put his wand into his pocket and glared at Welford.

"What is all of this Welford? I knew that you were crazy but this confirms this!" He snarled out.

"It's all about dear Poppy Severus! Ahooo!" He shouted out. "Well Hermione too brilliant woman that she is. She takes after me after all. I suppose I'll have to add you to the mix as well."

He watched Poppy walk to him and kissed the muggle's cheek. "Shush Welford. You would have thought of it."

Severus noticed the medi-witch's clothing and saw that they were that of a muggle doctor.

"Pull up a chair Severus. You have a cure thanks to this sweet woman." He crooned out patting Poppy's hand.

Welford watched Severus pick up a chair and placed it upright before he sat down and looked to the crazy relative of Hermione without a word.

"Hermione asked that we observed the blood samples of Harry Potter throughout the night. And that we did Severus noting not one change in the blood as the night progressed. And then sweet Poppy spoke out wishing that there could be a way of preserving that and transferring it to the afflicted. Remember I told you and Hermione about white blood cells? It got me to thinking and I kick myself ashamed that I did not think of it. You need a preservative and the answer was laid out all along in my world."

Severus leaned forward intrigued. "And what is that Welford?"

"Cyto-Chex Severus. It is used in research for AIDS to preserve samples. Your concoction stabilizes the blood of the werewolf to a point. Dear Poppy dressed as a doctor went to my world to obtain it. It will work Severus. All you need to do is wave your wand or whatever it is you do and replicate it after it is added. We added it to the blood of Harry and the blood did not react at all and remained stabilized at sunrise!"

Severus breathed out. "Interesting Welford but what is the next step?"

Welford spun his wheelchair around in joy. "Simply take all of Harry's blood out of his body and replace it with this." Holding a phial up. "Poppy tells me there is some sort of potion to allow you to do it."

"Blood Replenishing potion Welford. But we just add it to replicate blood that already exists. To drain a wizard of his blood his unheard of!" Severus growled out.

"We do it all the time in the muggle world. It's called a full body blood transfusion and takes several hours to perform. The first one was performed in 1840 and modern medicine has perfected the procedure. It will work Severus Snape of that I am sure." Handing the man the phial of blood and looked to him.

Hermione walked in un-noticed and heard the entire conversation, walking to her uncle and kissed her uncle's cheek. "Brilliant uncle." She whispered to him. "Can you leave us while we discuss this?"

"Of course Goose but not before I do this." Turning his wheelchair around and faced Poppy. "I know the man you see before you is not what I truly am. I am a stick of a man in real life and not impressive but you have seen me as I truly am sweet woman. I don't have a ring right now and never met a woman that understands me as you do. Say you'll marry me sweet Poppy!"

Poppy approached Welford and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Yes Welford. I'll be your wife for now and forever."

Welford looked to him as he patted Poppy's hand. "It is as simple as that Severus Snape." Winking at him before Poppy pushed his wheelchair leaving Severus and Hermione alone.

Severus held the phial up and looked to it. "What Welford suggests is barbaric Hermione. Draining a wizard of his blood? What will happen to the magic that resides within? It's never been done as the Blood Replenishment potion only replicates the blood within one."

Hermione took the phial from his hand and looked to it before closing her eyes to think. After a few minutes she looked to Severus. "I think it will be fine Severus. This phial contains a wizard's blood and the potion will replicate exactly that."

"But we don't know if the muggle medicine will affect it Hermione. What if it does?" He growled out.

"Harry will have a choice Severus. This is his blood and he has the final say and we cannot deny him that choice based on what we feel." She spoke to him in a soft voice. "It's a good thing that we have plenty of blood replenishment potion available because of your insistence that we make extra as it expires. We have work to do as this sample will not last long."

He looked to her accepting her answer. "If I remember correctly from your muggle blood book the human body contains five liters of blood. To make sure that we completely eradicate all of the old blood we will do eight and do a double batch just in case there are complications. I'll go to my lab and retrieve what we need." Leaving her without a word.

Hermione watch him leave and prepped a sample and slid it into the microscope to look at. Uncle Welford was right. None of the abnormal cells of the wolf was present as the blood changed on the day after the full moon.

Was her assignment to Hogwarts coming to the end? If they were successful then she would be back at the Ministry once again doing the job as a clerk sure that her boss Guy would ride on her accomplishments and take credit that he was the one who answered the school's request.

She had freedom here despite the rough start and no politics involved at all. And Severus was here as well and the more she thought about the situation the more she did not like what her future held for her and found that she did not want to be separated from him.

Hermione pulled a blank parchment to her and penned out her resignation. The first brash act since the defeat of Voldemort years ago. She looked to it for a moment placing it in her pocket and pulled another parchment out explaining that she was going to Albus to update him.

Harry left Hermione at the safe house and Aparrated to the gates of Hogwarts rushing through them as he ran as fast as he could. He needed to get to Draco.

Students pulled aside in the hallway as they pointed to him and he cursed realizing that he was dressed only in running shorts and pointed his wand to him to transfigure the trunks into Quidditch robes as he made his way up to the Apprentice wing.

He stood at the door panting a moment and composed himself for a moment before opening the door and found Draco sitting on the settee in front of the fireplace looking intently to the dancing flames.

Harry approached the blonde wizard and knelt before him and grabbed the wizard's hands and kissed them.

"I'm sorry Draco. I wanted to tell you but Hermione insisted that you change uninformed. I know what you suffered through." He breathed out.

"Is it always like this Harry? Losing yourself to the wolf and giving in to what you change to despite the fight?" Draco asked catching Harry's eyes and looked intently to his lover.

Harry pulled his glasses of and wiped a tear away. "Without the Wolfsbane it is always like that Draco. I would have been with you if I could."

Draco said nothing and Harry stayed knelt before his love miserable.

After a few minutes Draco softly spoke. "The goat helped."

Harry sat down beside him and wrapped an arm around Draco. "I know. I wished that I had it then but it was only Ron and me at the time I first turned and we had no idea what turning into a werewolf would be like. Only the bars protected Ron as I rushed to him smelling his scent."

"Hold me Harry." Draco spoke out in a soft voice.

Harry pulled Draco to him. "I am yours and you are mine and werewolf or not it will always be true and I will never ever abandon you as I did last night research be damned."

Albus allowed Hermione into his office and listened to her update. "You could have sent your update via owl Hermione. I think that you are here for something else."

Hermione looked to the old wizard amazed. Was there anything the man did not know? She handed him her resignation from the Ministry and watched as he read it and placed it down and looked to her.

"Are you sure about this Hermione? Great things will come from your success in this. Severus gave you the lead assigning you as the primary on the research after all."

Hermione chuckled hollowly. "Albus my Head will put me back to clerical work. I will go back to a mundane job and leave him here alone. I do not want that."

"Leave him here as in Severus Snape?" Albus inquired.

Hermione mustered up her courage. "Yes Albus. I do not want to be separated. There is something there…"

Albus held up his hand. "Stop Hermione for the answer to your dilemma has been found." Watching a tawny owl fly down unexpectedly and land on his desk.

Albus looked to the owl. "Are you sure? You could be wrong you know." He asked in a grave voice.

They watched the owl shake its head hooting out and looked to Albus tapping a claw impatiently.

Albus folded up the resignation letter and placed it into an envelope and handed it to the bird, watching it fly off with the envelope in beak.

"There is your answer Hermione. That owl is Thanantos Severus's familiar and rarely seen about the castle. It seems that she accepts you."

Albus stood up and walked to his fireplace picked up a bowl of Floo Powder. "Tell him what you have chosen Hermione. There is a place for you here in one way or another." Winking to her knowingly.

"Thank you Albus." She replied not sure of what the old man hinted at. There was no job offer after all. She pulled a handful of powder out and stated "My Lab!" Walking in to the green flame and disappeared.

She spun in and stood up brushing her robes and found Severus looking to her obsidian eyes boring into hers.
