Stood in the furthest corner of his office, Albus
Dumbledore surveyed the embracing couple before him. When Severus had entered
the room, looking as if he had been sentenced to death, Albus had been reminded
of the many times his young godson had visited his office during his school
years, and many times after that.

Albus raised a hand slowly
to stroke his faithful familiar, Fawkes. The beautiful red and gold bird leaned
his head into his master�s touch, and Albus was rewarded for his efforts by a
soft squawk. Thoughts flooded into his head of that particular visit many years
ago now, when Severus had collapsed onto his knees in front of Albus, confessed
himself, and implored Albus to believe him, and pleaded with him to trust him
again. Albus had been aware of Severus being a death eater right from his
eighteenth birthday, when he had been initiated. And all that time between
those two events, he had know that deep in his heart, Severus was tearing
himself to pieces. But Albus also knew why Severus pushed these feelings down;
it was simply because of what he had endured in his childhood and adolescence.
Because of his clear talent in not only potions, but every subject available on
the curriculum; he was teased, mocked and shut out. His only friend had been
Lucius Malfoy, but throughout their �friendship�, Severus had quickly begun to
realise that he was simply being used.

*Not unlike our dear Miss
Granger,* Albus thought with a wry smile. *Perhaps that is why they have formed
such an, interesting bond.*

Awakening from his thoughts, and turning to look at the
couple by the hearth, he was pleasantly surprised to see that Miss Granger had
stopped crying, and her head was resting on Severus� shoulder, her eyes closed.
Whispering goodbye to Fawkes, he began to walk into the room. As he neared, he
saw that Severus� eyes were also closed, and he had an almost serene expression
on his face, and he was murmuring comforting words into Hermione�s ear. Albus
allowed a smile to meander onto his face, before replacing it with a serious
expression and clearing his throat subtly.

Snape�s head jerked up at
this, as if roused from a very pleasant dream. It appeared he had quite
forgotten that there was anybody else in the room.

In doing so, he jolted
Hermione, and she sat up abruptly on her heels, detaching herself from Snape,
before looking around her wildly, terror written over every inch of her face.
As she burst into tears, she crumpled into a small, shaking heap on
Dumbledore�s sheepskin rug. Severus stared at her in mortification for a
second, before shooting a deadly stare at Albus, and pushing himself over
towards Hermione�s quivering form, and gently put his arms around her.
Dumbledore chuckled lightly to himself at Severus� uncharacteristic show of
affection, eliciting another glare from Snape. However, he forced himself to
interrupt their tender embrace.

�Severus, Miss granger, I�m afraid there are some questions
I must ask of both of you.� Snape lowered his gaze to Hermione, and watched as
her eyes filled up with fresh tears, but she determinedly brushed them away and
nodded her head slowly. Holding his hand out to her, Severus felt a jolt go
through his whole body as he easily pulled her to her feet, and sat her back in
the armchair she had occupied just minutes before. He himself sat down to her
right, his gaze fixed on her slightly shaky, yet steadfast profile.

�Now, Miss Granger, I must ask you to tell me all you can
about what happened tonight; I�m sure Severus will be able to fill in the
gaps,� said Albus kindly as he sat behind a large, claw footed, highly polished
oak desk in front of them but slightly to the left.

Hermione glanced at
Professor Snape out of the corner of her eye. His eyes were fixed intently on
her face, unnerving her slightly, and there was a very sombre expression on his
face. She glanced back to Dumbledore, who smiled reassuringly at her, and she
took a deep, relaxing breath. It was time for her to begin her story��..

A/N: So, what did u think? Please review! The next
chapter will probably be up tomorrow some time, and it is a flashback of the
events that night.
