Snape moved threw the Hogwarts gate, his robes where torn in areas, body felt like it was on fire perhaps in a way it was but, he knew that he was not safe until pass the Hogwarts gate at least in in the state he was in.
He had been in a fight with a D.E. member, it appeared the D.E. member had some bone to pick with him & a fight had broken out he was not sure why it had or what reason the man had but, what ever the reason it had.
In the end the D.E. member died at his hand & though Snape was able to walk away it was not fully with out being harmed he considered him self to be one of the best in the D.E. ranks perhaps he was, though getting wounded did not help to prove it but, then the man he fought had not been alone ether so the odds where against him.
But once the man had been killed the others had left, it would only be time before he learned if Jamie had set it up or if not if she would learn of it but, it mattered little he would deal with that when it came.
He closed the gate behind him before moving across the grounds, his steeps hinted at his state but, it only flickered a bit in the sign. There was no sigh of any one around, a good thing for him for he figured just to get to his room or office & from there he could tend to his wound.
Even with spells in place, he still needed potions to fully take away the spells effects at least this time.

Minerva had been looking out the window from her office, surveying the area. The grounds were mostly empty, a rare sight indeed and it didn't take her long to notice a figure slightly limping across the yard. Minerva adjusted her glasses and squinted, her face stern as she watched them. She soon recognized the gait and the robes of Professor Snape and she wondered what he had gotten himself into this time.
Minerva turned from the window and slowly walked down the stairs to meet Snape, trying her best to appear like nothing was wrong. But, after saving Snape she felt like owed him a great deal more, not just for his sake but for Albus' as well.
Her green robes swished behind her and her pointed hat sat rightly on top of her head. She raised an eyebrow as she took in Snape's condition, obviously whoever had done this to him was no longer with them.
"Professor if you be so kind to have a word with me in your office." Minerva said sternly blocking the students view of Snape, as she flicked her wand to make the illusion that he wasn't in a tattered state.

Snape had though he would get to his room to tend to his wounds & yet, he should of know that getting past Minerva with out her notice was something unheard of, he did not miss her words & he was going to protested his lip had carved back as if to do so but, he did not after all he did not miss the tone she used & he could see that arguing with her would only lead to more trouble for him self though he was sure that Minerva did not miss the moment he though to refuses her orders.
He was not sure what she wanted of him but, he questioned if she did not suspected something & she planned to deal with the issue now, so he merely nodded to her before he spoke “As you wish Head Mistress” He then moved to head for his office where Minerva wanted to speak with him & he knew that how ever it went he could deal with his pain & wounds later.
His robes glided out behind him as he moved, heading for his office thankful no students stopped him on his way & he could not say he would have been happy if they had & the odds where there he would have been a bit nippy with them if they had.

Minerva followed Snape to his office. He had seemed reluctant to accomodate her, but her position allowed no room for denial. She assumed that he had only been attacked, but by who she had no idea, except from the recent events and the state she had found in him at the end of the war, she could only guess that it was a DE members work. After all, the Ministry knew of Albus' trust towards Snape, and the Order wouldn't try anything. And if they did, she would of heard of it before hand.

Snape had entered his office with fallowing him, when they where both in & the door was closed did he speak “What is you wise to speak to me about Minerva?” So now he could only wait to see what she would say or ask him & he knew that he wished to be honest but, he was not sure if he could be should the wrong question be asked but, he also though about what would be the best for him & what Albus would of wanted of him to do.
Snape hurt in places but, he did what he could to not show any sign of it at least with Minerva here he did not feel he could, to him it would be a sign of weakness & he had strived to be anything be seen as weak.

"Stop being ridiculous and sit down. If you take off your outer robes we can take a look at what happened to you." Minerva looked at Snape, her face stern but a slightly concerned smile on her face.
Even though she wasn't excelled in potions like Snape was, she did pride herself in being able to heal wounds exceddingly well. And she knew better than anyone that healing your own wounds usually made you miss the most vital ones. Minerva tapped her wand in her hand and looked around the office.
"If you would care to tell me what happened it would be much appreciated. However, whatever you decide to do I respect." Minerva stated as she walked over to some of the potions in his office noting what she had available to her.

Snape did not miss her words & with her words to help he looked at her odd “You should know well Minerva, I am use to tending to my own wounds” Though he said it he knew if pressed he would bow to her words, though with the look he was getting from Minerva he had a feeling it was going to be a losing battle, with a flick of frustration he moved to do as she asked decided it was better to allow her to help, since he knew to argue with her at the moment was more likely a losing cause to him & in some ways he had no say in it with her being the Head Mistress.
Once he had removed his outer robes, he took a seat as she told him to… though he was still unsure why he was bowing to her demands so quick & then again perhaps he did he just did not want to say so.
Snape did not miss her second words & his eyes fallowed her as she moved around his office, more his nature then distrusted. “A D.E. member felt the need to fight with me, though for why or what reason I do not know & it was clear that they had set it up more, since they had others they to help them in there fight”

Minerva nodded and looked at Snape. "I see." She decided not to offer any more words on the matter. Snape knew her position, that she considered him a trusted friend, but nothing more. She planned to keep it that way, not letting him know of the lengths she took to save his life.
It was interesting that he had been atttacked again by the DE. She didn't fully know his position to the DE but it was interesting that they kept turning on him. Snape was in a horrible position, he was being attacked from all sides both physicaly and verbally. It was the least she could do to offer to help, though she knew it upset him.

Snape heard her words though he was surprised that she did not ask more perhaps for the time she decided not to or at least not for the time being. Snape was not sure why Minerva felt the need to help him but, she had & that was her reason & not something he should ask about.
Snape could feel the pain in his body & he knew it was not something that would be gone so quickly but, he was a live something he should be glade about even if he was up set over the idea of growing tired of the role he played in all of this. Snape watched Minerva to see if she would say anything but, he was not sure if she would or if she was still planning to help him but, he could only wait to find out.

Minerva looked over Snape as if trying to make out all that had happened to him and what she would need. She moved quickly enough, but not noticiably. Taking a wound cleaning potion she handed it to Snape. "I trust you know how to clean your wounds." She stated, knowing that it would be invading his personal space if she cleaned them herself.
Turning away she quickly took down one of his books and flipped through the pages, looking for a potion that would heal him completly, leaving no scars and creating minimal pain. Though, she knew most potions by heart but the book was necessary to give the apparent dulling of her intellect. She had used a potion and spells before to save him, but she felt like she didn't want to flaunt her knowledge of apothecary in front of Snape. If she proved to just know what most people knew, the thought would never cross his mind that she was the one who saved him.
Minerva glanced over to Snape, as she began to put the potion together. Finally pouring it into a tea cup and handing it to Snape. "I will restock your supplies of course."

Snape looked at Minerva when he heard her first words, his one eyebrow rose as if surprised she would say such a thing to him or question it but, he could not say there was not amusement at her words because of the irony in them. “Yes I do” He took the potion form her, he watched as she turned away & he set to work to use the potion as it was suppose to be, though it only dulled the pain a bit & before that it stung at times as the potion set to work to do its job.
Snapes eyes had flickered to Minerva as she flipped threw one of his many books, though he said nothing on it. After all it was not hard to figure out what she was looking for or likely looking for. And Snape only watched at times as she worked on the potion she was doing turned his attaching to something else, at least tell she brought the tea cup over to hand to him he took if from her as he spoke a simply “Thank you” And with that he drank the potion, he could feel the potion as it took effected though he could not say it was total painless it was not to the point the could not bear it.
After the potion had taken better affected in his body did he speak “What made you feel you needed to help me or did you have another reason & you truly needed to speak with me on some matter”

Minerva looked at Snape as if wondering why he was questioning her motives. "Having a Professor walk into Hogwarts like they've just escaped death can create commotion among students."
Minerva dusted herself off, her head tilted in a way that made her look stern yet friendly at the same time. "Also because one only gets to be tended to every once in a while, and you always tend to others. Call it what you will, but it was high time you recieved even a dose of respect around here, and if I'm going to be the one to do it, then so be it." Minerva smiled slightly as if not used to the act.

Snape listened to her words it made since though he had assumed she knew of the other times he came in half dead. “True, though it is not the first time I have returned in such a stated if not worse” Snape did not miss her last words & he was going to protested them as she spoke again, making it clear that he could call it as he saw it but, she saw it differently. “Respected I would be leer of saying that to loud, it is not a word many would want to use in any way associated with me. But, I thank you all the same”

Minerva looked at Snape. "Being in the position I am in, I have been allowed in a way by society to help those I wish to help without visible disagreement on the matter. Respect is a natural right owed to each person, I see no matter why I should be afraid to say that you, who are indeed a person, deserve respect."
Minerva smiled not replying to his thank you. It was only natural that she help him, and after all saving his life made her more aware of his presence and needs, something she didn't know how to take. But, it was something Albus would be content with, and she believed her helping actions towards Snape were a way of showing respect to Albus wishes as well.

Snape heard her words “I see you point though there are some I can see would not believe you but, then again you never where one that cared much for what people would believe or not” He had said nothing more for the time being not really knowing what else to say “Perhaps your words will some how chance enough people & how they think of me” He was not sure if it was true but, it could happen after all anything with in reason could happen.
