Hermione pulled open her drawer to find the vial and placed it in her bag. She then quickly made a call to her supervisor to request the next two days off for sick leave and, once that was approved, headed home, the note in her pocket. When she got home, she went to the bathroom to take off the scarf and was stunned to see the clear red imprint his fingers had left on her skin. She touched a finger tentatively to the area and winced at the tender sensation. Likely it would be dark by morning. She fixed herself some honey lemon tea to soothe the inside of her throat and set about making dinner before attempting to distract herself with a book before bed. Anxious as she was, it was a struggle getting to sleep, and when she finally drifted off, her dreams were filled with fantasies of Snape.
