His companion tugged at his hand and led him through the backdoor of a dingy restaurant. Hidden in a corner was an emergency portkey, one of many distributed all over town, only activated if it recognized the hand that held it.
Nobody noticed their leaving.
Leaning against a cold stone wall just outside the grounds of the school, she smiled.
"Happy Halloween, Professor Snape."
He hesitated a moment before answering. "Happy Halloween … Hermione." He smiled.
