Hermione sat at the head table next to Severus watching the Welcoming Feast. It certainly wasn't the festive affair she remembered in her days as a student. Nothing but silence after her husband's welcoming Welcoming Speech which was short reminding them he had no say in discipline as it was up to Madame Snape and to pass all classes or else. She missed the Sorting House and it's singing. She sighed knowing it was not needed as there was only one house at the school now and it was Slytherin. Whatever happened to it anyway?

And Minerva handing out wands to the First years upon entrance to the Hall without a word seemed so wrong.

Soon the hall was emptied leaving the staff and eight students standing in front of the Head Table.

The students flinched as the Headmaster rose from his chair and moved to stand in front of them. The staff took the opportunity given to leave and left Hermione sitting at her seat.

She listened to him greet them and handed out a list of duties mainly concerning control of their fellow students and any issues should be given to Madame Snape to handle.

"Dismissed!" Severus barked out and chuckled, watching the students run down the long aisle and out the large double doors of the Great Hall.

Hermione watched him turn to her and spoke in his usual harsh voice when in attendance at the school. "I have duties to attend to and will see you at Staff Meeting at 9 pm." Turning away and striding up the aisle, black robes billowing behind him.

She remained at the Head table and pulled out the battered notebook that she put her thoughts down to and scribbled her thoughts of how it would be to be a student now.

Reading her notebook she smiled. In two days time she would visit Madame Pomphrey and gather a list of students with unexplained injuries.

Luna watched Lord Malfoy walk into her chambers and dumped Draco's body on the floor looking to her for a moment before turning his heal and walked out of the room without a word.

She rushed to him grateful that Abraxis was in bed and turned the still form over and looked into her husband's grey eyes. "Draco what happened?"

Draco moaned out. "I failed Luna in killing Godfather and he was not pleased to have a debt to pay in the future. You have the potions I brought back from Severus?"

Luna pulled them out of her pocket and administered them in the order she was told.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't understand Draco. I am Pureblood and my father never treated me anything like your father treats you."

Draco felt better and stood up. "Welcome to the House of Malfoy Luna. The potions are a plus as I never had them when Granger scored higher than me when father beat me. I had to heal on my own and with the assistance of a House elf named Sassy. Without that elf I would have died years ago."

He motioned Luna to him and embraced her lovingly. "Everything is worth it for you and Abraxis. Even if it means my death sweet Luna for I love you both so much."

He ran his hands along her soft blonde hair. "Let me show you what I feel." Soul lifting when she smiled confirming her love for him.

They moved arm in arm toward their bedchambers.

Hermione entered the Headmaster's office finding she was the last to join and took the empty seat next to Minerva.

"And my wife graces us with her appearance exactly on time." Severus drawled out putting his time piece down. "Here are my expectations for the school year…"

He kept them there for an hour stressing the fact of conformity and to quash any questions outside of the curriculum.

"Madame Snape, Deputy Headmistress McGonnagal! You will patrol the halls tonight as I want to impress the importance of rule-breaking and the fact you two take patrol will make an impression on the students and word will get around making our lives and the students much easier and without pain. Everyone dismissed!"

Hermione silently walked down the stairs with Minerva following behind her and turned to her ex-Head of House. "Let's make this easy shall we? I do not care to spend hours walking these halls in search of students as there is only one House now and after curfew. We will perform House Count and easily determine who is missing and locate them with magic. Shall we?"

Minerva looked nervous and Hermione caught it. "Of course Madame Snape."

They made their way to the dungeons and walked into the Common room finding two prefects beating a second year wizard.

The room went silent at the arrival of the witches and the Prefects stood side by side to hide who they were beating.

"This is unacceptable Prefects! Explain your actions!" Minerva demanded.

One Prefect spoke out. "This Second year is questioning why the professors do not answer his questions and warned time and time to conform. We hope to beat in the message so he will not be killed and serve our Lord well. He says he will not serve anyone!" Spitting out the last words.

"Well done Prefects and you shall receive an award of Special Services to the School for showing compassion to a fellow student." Hermione chuckled. "Now go gather your fellow Prefects and do House Count and write down any who are missing."

"As you command Madame Snape." One replied and both moved to the door to the hallway containing separate year dorms.

Minerva moved to the young student and checked him. "He requires medical attention Madame Snape."

Hermione looked over the room and found a Fourth year looking to her in fear. "You! Take him to the Infirmary and be quick about your business." She commanded.

The students watched the conjured stretcher containing the beaten student follow behind the student leaving the room.

Hermione turned to Minerva. "House count not done after curfew Deputy Headmistress? With one House it would have been easy for you to check."

Minerva said nothing and waited. Yaxley was lazy and never bothered to check up on things.

Soon the Prefects came back and handed Hermione a list and stood silent before her.

Ten students missing and two of them Prefects. "Everyone to bed now and I promise that if I do House Count again and find any missing all of you will have a delayed dinner and meet me at the Post. Surely you remember it? Go!" Hermione growled out in anger.

Hermione handed the parchment to Minerva watching the students run to the door leading to the dorms pell mell and soon the room emptied leaving them alone.

She pulled out her wand muttering spells that would ensure none were listening including the portraits in the room and turned to Minerva. "You should have warned them to lay low Minerva and not meet up until classes were well under way. You know Severus and should have expected it."

"Forget it Hermione!" Minerva pleaded.

She looked to the old witch in sadness. "I can't because half the students in this room knew of the missing and their purpose. Perhaps if they were ignorant I could have done more…"

Minerva spoke in confidence. "They are safe Hermione and you will not find them."

"The Greater Good Minerva." Hermione whispered. "Albus always told us that and bright eyed and young we went forth never thinking of the consequences for we were always safe never realizing anything because Albus was with us and guided us. And that is the goal that I am working towards with Harry alive. And that means these student's lives are forfeit Gods bless them in the Veil."

She pulled out a parchment and touched her wand to it revealing the names and location of the missing students and handed it to Minerva.

Minerva paled finding every missing student on the map in the Room of Requirement. "Take that and go to the Headmaster and pray that I find them in that room playing Wizard Chess but we both know that will not be the case. All of those students save one are the last of separate Houses of the past."

Hermione waved her wand releasing her spells and left Minerva to go to her husband and went to the Room of Requirement.

"I must do this despite what I feel." Repeating the words and found came to a blank wall.

Pulling out her wand she thought of her desire and the doors opened and she leapt in seeing the students and shouted "Petrificus Totalus!"

Ropes shot out from her wand incapacitating the students and moved in. Pictures of Harry Potter adorned the room.

"I think I have found a conspiracy." Hermione coldly spoke and walked around the room. "You think to defeat our Lord? He is powerful and our Savior! And here you are playing Resistance with your pitiful numbers. You know that you are going to die. Prepare yourselves for you will meet our Lord to explain your actions." Laughing at them.

Severus walked in with Minerva and stood still looking to the captured students and the room. Just like Hermione he had no choice. "What goes on here Madame Snape?"

"You see this room Headmaster Snape? Traitors to our Lord and I need to bring them to him. Allow me to Apparate!"

Severus waved his wand. "You may take them Madame Snape."

He watched his wife drag the frozen students until they were piled in the center of the room and pulled up her sleeve and pushed her wand to her Mark watching it move and disappeared with the students.

Severus looked to Minerva in contempt. "I hope you have more and if you do make sure that they are not as foolish as these. You should have taught them better."

Minerva watched the Headmaster leave and cried, tears spilling because she knew that she should have changed things with Severus in the castle.

Voldemort looked to Hermione sitting on a pile of students and watched her move and bow to him. "My Lord I have found these students plotting against you. There were pictures of Harry Potter in a secret room within the castle. I bring them to you for your judgement."

Voldemort moved from his throne and pulled the students away until he separated and found himself looking into the eyes of Joseph Knott.

Voldemort released the bounds of the young wizard and pulled him close. "Your grandfather is one of the most loyal of the Outer Circle Joseph. Why?"

Voldemort waited a moment and found the boy looking to him in defiance not saying a word at all.

Pushing his wand to the boy's temple and whispered "Legilimens."

Hermione watched the Dark Lord throw the student to the floor pulling her wand out and pointing it at the young wizard.

"Three years Joseph planning and plotting against me and you call these pitiful students your army?" Moving to his throne and sat down. "Kneel in respect for your Lord boy!"

Joseph stood still. He knew he was dead even if he obeyed.

Hermione moved behind Joseph and kicked the back of his knees forcing the boy to the floor and moved away looking to Voldemort and waited.

Joseph stood back up. "It matters not Voldemort! There are more out there!"

Hermione moved and froze when Voldemort commanded. "Stand your ground Sister!"

"I know just what to do with you Joseph Knott. You will live and suck away the souls of your fellow conspirators.

"Never!" Joseph shouted.

Voldemort laughed at the wizard's words, red eyes glittering and pressed his mark. "Oh you will Joseph Knott and have no choice in the matter."

Twenty Dementors suddenly appeared and bowed to the Dark Lord as Hermione looked on, the room growing cold as Voldemort stood up.

"Make this wizard one of yours and he is to feed off the others here." He commanded

One Dementor nodded and the twenty held hands and blackness swirled around the group, until it faded unto nothingness but not before a single blood-curdling scream was heard.

"Come to me Hermione!" Watching the witch move forward and stood before him silently.

"I've let you lay fallow far too long Hermione Snape. You found a conspiracy and I wonder how far it will go besides a few pitiful students. I will be calling you soon to administer their just rewards. Go and call out the names at breakfast tomorrow and warn them."

Hermione found herself at the school gates and walked through making her way up until she was in the Headmaster's office.

Severus stood up from his desk and watched his wife relieved that there was no blood on her robes. "How did it go?" he inquired.

"All sure to be dead and one made a Dementor Severus. Did you know that could happen?" Taking the bottle of Firewhiskey up from his desk and downing half the bottle before settling down in the chair in front of him.

"And he told me I've been fallow. Soon my hands will once again be covered in blood." She snarled out.

Severus looked to her. "Your decision Hermion.." Stopping when he found himself at wand point and held up his hands.

"I know Severus!" She snarled out. "I brought this on me and do not remind me of it. I tire of it and all of it! How you did this for so long I'll never know!"

He watched her eyes close, the large amount of Firewhiskey taking hold as her eyes closed and her wand dropped to the floor. "It's for Harry and the Greater Good after all." She slurred out. "I have an announcement at breakfast. Make sure I'm there."

Severus waited until she passed out and moved her to their bedchamber and placed her on the bed.

Moving next to her he held her in his arms and thought. She almost lost it all tonight and he would have words with her in the morning.
