Chapter Two: Danger

Ginny had decided on cooking a special meal for everyone for some reason or another. It was a grand feast too. Christmas Eve was a fine night. There was a turkey, mashed potatoes, candied carrots, and wine along with the usual Christmas foods. Why she decided to make a special dinner on Christmas Eve and not Christmas Day was the true mystery.

They were in the middle of eating their meals when Ginny herself stood up and asked to speak. She grabbed Draco's hand and held it as she spoke.

"Draco doesn't know this yet, but well...I-I'm gonnahaveabby."

"What?!" He asked seriuosly.

"I-I'm pregnant. Are you mad?"

"Mad? Yeah..." She began to cry and there was a burst of outrage from some of the women at the table.

He picked her up and kissed her. "Madly in love with you...I'm...wow!" He kissed her again.

"Merry Christmas dearest."

"You too." There was a celebration after that and no one went to sleep until after midnight.

Hermione was awakened and decided to go for a walk again. It was a clear winter night. It was a little chilly though. It was only about 50 degrees outside and she covered herself with an extra blanket. It was quiet. That is, until she heard bushes rustling. She looked quickly, but didn't see anything. There was a puddle of metallic green goo on the ground. Not trusting it, she poked it with a stick. The stick was eaten as if the substance was acidic. As if it were battery acid.

'Mione looked up and saw big red serpent-like eyes. She screamed and ran all of the way back to the hut. She ran and slammed the door before it had a chance to get to her. There was a screech and something suddenly took off into the sky. She walked back to her room. On her way, she bumped into someone.

"Eeep!!"

"It's me...Severus. Remember?"

"Oh...thank goodness!"

"Huh?" He was dumbfounded at the moment.

"There is something...out there." Hermione was still gasping for oxygen.

"I know. Some of the natives around here were talking about a strange creature. It's supposedly looks half-woman and half-serpent. It has great big fangs and big red eyes and dragon wings."

"What could it be?"

"I have no idea."They both stayed up to get Christmas Day meal ready. While Hermione cooked the three hams, Severus conjured up the presents and Christmas trees in the cabins. One of the ones with his name on it was long and heavy. It also had "Happy Birthday (Dec.24)" written on it. How had they known that Christmas Eve was his birthday?

A few hours later everyone was getting up to open their presents. Severus got a jade wand case from Dumbledore. Moste Potente Potions Volume 4 from Pomfrey and a shell with his name painted on it from Draco. From Ginny, he got a new cauldron and scale set. She had melted his the week before.

Hermione got a stuffed dolphin from Dumbeldore. All four Moste Potente Potions volumes from Draco and Ginny. A new French candle and bath set from Celestia Sinistra and from Professor Flitwick, she got a hat and a matching wand case.

Now, neither Severus nor Hermione had opened their gifts from each other yet. They were saving this for last. Now, Severus knew who figured out that yesterday was his 40th birthday, or if you count the number of times he used the time turner to go forward in time ,he'd only be about thirty. (A/N: if you gain years when go go back, why not make him lose years when he goes forward? I am a genius). He first read the note on the package.

Dear Severus,

I noticed that you were looking at this alot in Diagon Alley. Happy be-lated birthday and a Merry Christmas.

~Hermione

He slowly unwrapped the box and opened it. Inside was a sword...his sword. It was the sword he had thought of buying but given up for Hermione's present. It was made of Spanish steel and the hilt was jewel encrested with emeralds and moonstone. On the blade, his name was carved.

Severus napenape III

He almost cried. This must have cost her a fortune. He hoped that she didn't think him cheap becasue his present to her was a peice of fuzz compared to what she got him. Why was he worried though? Little did she know that he had something else up his sleeve when they got back on the 27th.

Hermione opened her present and gasped. What he had gotten her was beautiful. It was a mahogany jewlery box. There were roses carved into the box along with the inls Hls H.G. in gold. When she opened it, there was another little surprise. It was a black choker and on it was a sterling silver charm. There were two serpents intertwined aroung a tear. It was a blue pheonix tear.

"I take it that you like the necklace?"

"Yes. Very much. Thank you, Severus." He took the choker out of her hands and put it around her neck. She turned around and kissed him on the cheek before taking her stuff back to her room and checking on the hams and sides. Christmas Day was a wonderful event. Everyone was bright and merry.

There was little that went on...until the night, that is. Hermione woke up from a screech ourside. She looked out her window and saw the same exact creature that Severus had described to her. Dragon wings, fangs, and all. The creature began to slither her way. There was suddenly a thump in the house. It was in their hut!

Hermione ran all of the way to Snape's room. He was none too happy about being wakened up and made sure to tell her so. He sat up in bed with a scowl on his face.

"Go away."

"No...there's something in the house."

"What are you..." He suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway. Putting his hand on Hermione's mouth, he motioned for her to climb out of the window while he held the thing off.

"No...I will not leave you!" She whispered fiercely. He shook his head and then nodded. They slowly walked out of the room looking around to make sure that there was nobody watching them. The two made their way into Ginny and Draco's room. The two were lying in bed naked oblivious to what was occuring.

"Draco. Ginny. Get up and get dressed and climb out of your window. Go tell Albus that we have everything under control." Both did as they were told and soon Draco and Ginny were gone. Ginny screamed and ran with her husband behind her.

"Looks like lLord and Lady Fucks-a-Lot are now Lord and Lady Screams-a-Lot," whispered Severus.

"And for good reason," Hermione replied as she pointed out the window. They were being chased by the creature.

As usual, Severus took on the role of protector and took off in front of her telling her to stay close. Both took off running after the...well, whatever the thing was. The Serpent-thing grabbed Hermione and threatened to kill her. Severus summoned his sword and held it to the creature's throat threateningly.

"If you so much as hiss at her, I will make a new pair of snake boo boots out of you." The creautre saw the sword and retreated. What was it afraid of? Was it the silver or the sword itself? What was it?

Hermione was suddenly dropped and the serpent took off.As she/he/whatever left, it screeched.

"Gweneeveeere!"

That was the last they heard of the creature for a while. There was another scream from Ginny. When they went to see what it was, they regretted it.Draco was holding Ginny and shielding her from something.

Madam Pomfrey's head was severed from her body and a few feet away, in a puddle of green goo,l ay the almost rotted body. Hermione vomited right there. It was hideous. Just then, Albus, Harry, and Sirius Black all emerged from their cabins.

"Oh...bloody hell....that's morbid!"

Albus sent Harry to call the aurors and Sirius to go alert the other professors to be prepared to leave. A while later, close to thirty men and women appeared. Padma Patil, Ron Weasley, Marcus Flint, and the Weasley twins were among these people. The Minister of Magic also appeared. Ever since Fudge had betrayed them, Arthur Weasley had been appointed and his son Percy had been made Governor of the School Board.

"Hello, Miss Granger, Mr.Snape. I trust that you are okay?"

"Just bloody peachy Percy, considering that my mentor is now dead. You?" said Hermione sarcastically. If looks could kill, Percy would have to be dug back up and killed thirty more times over. Even Snape backed away a little.

The clean up took the rest of the day and only 11 of the 12 staff who had gone to the beach were ready to leave and return home. Hermione and Ginny cried the whole time. By the time they got home, both were asland and the two Slytherin men had to carry them to their respective rooms.

Severus was not about to leave Hermione alone at night, so he took her to his rooms and let her sleep in his bed. Hermione woke up around seven o'clock the next night wishing that she wasn't alone. Tears fell and heartbreaking sobs racked her body once again.

Someone walked in and held her until she fell asleep again. A little while after, he tried to set her down and leave, but Hermione wouldn't be left alone.

"Please stay." Softly, Sev nodded his head and climed into bed next to her. His arms came around her and held her to him. They slept.
