"Uncle Sev?" Harry asked quietly as he reached them, the limp clear as was the bleeding wound."Are you hurt?" he asked, concern obvious in his voice, his green eyes open in fear. "I am fine Hartford" Severus whispered smiling at his nephew in all but blood and running his hand over his messy hair, while using his other hand to move his robes covering the wound before any other students saw it. "Don't call me that" Harry grumbled shrugging the man's hand off his head."How'd you get hurt?" Hermione asked softly. "You don't need to worry about that Mione" he whispered softly. "Was it the 3 headed dog?" Harry asked bluntly causing Hermione to hit her forehead with her open palm, Blaise and Draco both cringed at his directness. But Harry had a theory, if the dog bit his Uncle then his Uncle suspected who was after the stone and was trying to stop them. "How on earth do you lot know about that? That corridor is forbidden for a reason!" Severus exclaimed staring at them in shock. "Overheard golden boy and the weasel talking about it, apparently they came across it while hiding from Filch" Hermione said rolling her eyes at how plebian the two Gryffindors had to be, in order to be overheard to begin with.
