PART TWO

This Is the Way the World Ends.

Prologue: For some life offers nothing more

Than a struggle or a war.
Severus had stayed in the garden at Hogwarts for hours, finally collapsing on a stone bench furthest from the castle. His fingers were numb with cold, and his entire body ached from the trials of the day. Everything in his whole life seemed to be collapsing around him and an overwhelming anger seemed to have seeped in; anger at Potter, Black, his mother and Father, Hermione, and Dumbledore.

Black should be punished. Even the thought enraged Severus.

He had stormed into the Headmasters office, certain that Black would be, if not expelled, then surely reprimanded.

�I understand your anger, Mr. Snape.� Dumbledore had said so calmly it had made Severus want to retch.

Dumbledore knew nothing of how he felt: nothing.

�But I must stress the importance of the situation. Remus� condition can not be exposed, certainly you agree Remus is not to blame, and should anyone know of this he would most defiantly reap the burden of his friends� error.� Dumbledore had looked at him, his whole face set in an insincere expression of concern before it hardened into a mask glaring firmness.

�I must have your word as a wizard that you will not tell of Remus� condition, or of what has happened tonight in the Shrieking Shack.�

Resentment and full force rage had welled up in Severus then. Not only would Black and Potter get away with what they had done, but also Severus would never be allowed to speak of it.

Severus kicked at a pile of ashes, scowling as the soot covered over his shoe. What did it matter if he could speak on it? There was now no one left who might even care. Had she left yet? She had said she had little time left; Severus shook his head, what good would it do to even look for her, she would leave whether he found her or not. An uneasy feeling of regret bubbled subtly in the pit of his stomach. He should not have let his anger at Dumbledore and Black overwhelm him. It had made his words to her harsh, uncalled for and regrettably impossible to take back.

Agitation made Severus leap to his feet, suffused in hatred against Black and Potter, somehow he was sure they were the cause of Hermione having to leave.

Severus inhaled deeply. The night was slowly fading from the sky leaving the grey light of morning in its place. He would not stand for it, any longer. This was the last time he would allow anyone to get the best of him.

1. Old friends become old strangers.

Hermione could just make out the flash of Ron�s red hair in the snow from behind a tall oak where she stood, before she had seen herself vanish from the battlefield.

There, not more than a yard away stood Voldemort his face enraged as he had watched their past selves evaporate.

�Search the grounds! It ends tonight,� he bellowed turning to his men.

Two death eaters appeared at his side one standing further than the other.

�Now Harry, it�s our only chance,� she whispered.

Harry looked at her, his eyes wide with fear. He nodded, �If I-, thank you Hermione.� he said quickly.

Hermione nodded, tears falling from her eyes before throwing her arms around his neck.

They both turned and darted from the trees.

Voldemort turned, his wand raised; an amused smirk around his snake like mouth.

�Avada Kedavra!� They both roared a brilliant green ray raging from their wands.

A Death Eater shot out towards Harry, before Hermione hit him with a red streaking beam of light.

The last Death Eater turned, fleeing towards the forest. Hermione hurried after him as the spell connected with Voldemort enveloping him in a flame of green.

Limbs and frosted branches slapped at her face as she sprinted through the woods. She could just see the flapping of the Death Eaters cloak as he raced deeper into the forest his boots leaving heavy imprints in the snow.

Hermione dashed around a tree and halted before a wand pointed directly at her.

�Expel-� her silent curse was easily deflected, her wand landing silently in the snow a half a yard away.

�That�s the second time I�ve had your wand pointed at me Miss. Granger.� Said Snape as he removed his mask.

His voice sounded so familiar yet hardly recognizable. It was Severus starring back at her, not the Professor she had known while at school. He was there; she could see it, flitting about his eyes almost hidden behind his sneer.

�Severus�� she started.

A hiss escaped his lips, his wand hand clasping over his left arm before he dropped to his knees. Hermione ran to him her arms outstretched grazing against his shoulder before she pulled her hands away in pain. He was cold, so cold it felt like fire.

�Do not touch me!� he spat, his words raw and pained.

�Severus� please�� she started.

�HERMIONE!� Harry yelled, his voice sounding far off.

Hermione looked back to Severus his eyes narrowed as he scrambled to his feet.

�Please, let me help you�� she said quickly, her voice pleading.

�HERMIONE!� Harry called again.

A crack of apparation made Hermione jump, Severus was gone, the indented snow the only sign that he had ever been there.

�Hermione.� Harry�s voice sounded raw and injured.

�I�m here, Harry.� she sprinted towards him. His hands were shaking badly and his scar was bleeding.

�He�s gone�it worked. Hermione he�s gone.� said Harry throwing his arms around her.

�I know Harry,� she said quietly, looking over her shoulder to where Severus had been. �I know.�

AN: Happy New Year!

I know these two chapters are short, but I will make up for it with chapter three and so forth. Hope you all enjoy the beginning of part two, and have a safe and happy New Year.
