AN/ Here is a review on this story. I found it very helpful. Maybe T wasn't the only one who thought so. I decided to amend the problem as well as I can. BTW thank you T for your constructive criticism.
From: T () I'm actually really confused on what's going on here... I mean, I got that she was trying to seduce him while he was trying to rescue her, but I feel like I came into a story in the middle without having any of the background or anything. It feels really incomplete and I'm lost.
Escape
"It's just terrible. Severus, you have to do something." Lupin paced the length of Snape's sitting room at Spinner's End. "I'm afraid for her. Animals are better than the lot of them."
Snape was tired, so tired. They've probably already done the worst to her. "How long ago did you say she was abducted?" Massaging his temples.
Lupin was white to the lips. "The best we can tell; she was taken four maybe five hours ago. She was last seen parking her scooter on Chase in St. James, London. Her wand was recovered."
No wand, four or five hours head start. She probably wishes she was dead, if she isn't already. "Does Albus know I'm going in?" What choice did he have after all? "I'll need to prepare myself, can she be flooed through to the Hospital Wing?"
"Yes and yes." Lupin stopped pacing.
Snape pulled out a book from the shelf, and opened it to the halfway point. Inside the pages rested an ornate crystal phial. The contents glowed purple. Pocketing the Phial; Snape faced Lupin then tapped the man in the chest with his wand. Lupin's faded blue robes turned black. "You'll be less conspicuous. Lucius is the only one who wears any colour. And you don't want to be mistaken for him." Snape donned his Deatheater robes. Lupin drew back slightly. "Clutch my right arm, we go together." Crack.
"You wait here. When I say 'The Order' send out your Patronus so we can find you." Snape left Lupin in a stand of tangled scrub oak.
Snape walked confidently into the makeshift fortress that served the Deatheaters as headquarters. Nodding at the Sentry. Snape heard Hermione off the main corridor. Walking over to the room in question Snape entered. "Hmm. I thought that was your bossy voice I heard." Snape spat. The Deatheater interrogating Hermione lowered his wand. "Has she given anything up?"
"Uh, no. Nuffin' we can use." The man's heavy brow dropped. Snape walked over to Hermione moved her head side to side with his wand tip as though he didn't want to touch her directly. "The Dark Lord is going to reward one of us with her." The Deatheater laughed stupidly.
"Well," Snape drawled. "It will just have to be me won't it." The Deatheater was ready to take his temper out on Hermione, drawing back his fist. Snape caught his arm in mid-swing. "You'll break her teeth you idiot. Broken teeth are not at all conducive to my pleasure." Snape cupped himself. Sneering at the wild-eyed Hermione who had been shocked into silence. "I believe you are done with your 'interrogation.' Keep an eye on her until I come back to collect my reward."
Snape turned on his heal moving in his usual quick stride to the audience chamber. No Dark Lord. Wormtail scurried up to Snape. "Ma-aa-ster iss oout noww." Stuttered Wormtail as Snape pulled his mask off.
"Tell the Dark Lord I was here, and give him this." Snape held out the crystal phial snatching it back as Wormtail reached for it. "I'm taking the girl I've waited too long to have the bitch beneath me where she belongs. Please inform the Dark Lord that I'll use my tools to interrogate her."
Wormtail quivered. "But, but you can't take her...she."
Snape sneered at the cowering man. "Are you jealous Wormtail? Do you want to relieve my needs? That's fine by me but you'll clean my house when you're finished serving my gun." Snape handed over the phial. "See that the Dark Lord gets this; if something happens to it in the interim you will die a painful death."
Putting his mask back on Snape cut an intimidating figure as he left the chamber. "I'll take her from here." The Deatheater sulked and stalked off. "Shut up. I'm warning you." He pointed his wand in her face. Gripping her by the upper arm and they exited the room.
"Severus, stop tugging me."
"We'll make it, just pull that door shut quietly." Impulsively pressing him up against the wall she touched, and teased his taut frame. "Granger, what are you doing? We don't have time for this," forcibly extracting himself. Urgently, "Come, before we are found. This is pure insanity, we must go." Reaching for his belt she tugged incessantly. She dropped to her knees in the corridor and rummaged his clothing for openings. "You're crazy, any moment the Dark Lord could return. Then he will send the guards to torture us and maybe kill us, if he has mercy in him tonight." Severus pulled her to her feet by her hair.
"I'm not crazy." She sucked on his Adam's apple as it bobbed in earnest.
"Well, what are you then? Did they put a spell on you?" Pinching the bridge of his nose, "I would really like to know. I confess, I don't understand it a bit. First, how you came to be here. Why your reason has left you." Too many Crucios, I suppose.
Dropping back to her knees. "Give me an hour, and I'll give you your dreams..." She breathe heavily on his trouser flap, tugging at the cloth-covered buttons. "Don't make a sound," Applying the intimate touch of her tongue to his aroused flesh brought a gasp to his lips. "Shh and keep and ear out." Utilizing hands and mouth, working his tormented flesh. I've half a mind to let her carry on.
Severus grasped the back of her shirt, and hair pulling her up. She gasped in pain. Snape buttoned his trousers back up. "Hermione, look we need to go. It is very dangerous right now, you are technically my prisoner. Might I remind you that if someone else sees me enjoying your pleasures they might be compelled to do the same. Come on. We're not safe yet. Once we reach Hogwarts we'll be in better shape. Don't make a sound, shh. Around the corner is a sentry. You know I think there are less suspicious ways of getting you out of here." Sauntering down the hall, when they came upon the very sentry that Snape had feared present. "And be good for me." Snape put magical restraints on her. He said to her to throw them off the scent as her approached. "You'll be my sweetheart before the end of the night."
"What?" she loosed the merest whisper.
"A show for them. We have to get away as fast as possible." Ushering her down the remaining length of corridor.
She lost a shoe, reaching for it she was rebuffed. "Leave it, we are not going back. I have plans for you that don't require shoes." Pushing her onward. He cursed under his breath.
"I don't care what you do, they know not to take action against you." Hermione pleaded.
"Now you're talking non-sense. I've seen them in action, and I know they are a real threat. Almost there. Forgive me." He placed a silencing spell on Hermione. Trying not to be too rough he compelled her forward.
The guards at the mouth of the compound. "Sure in time, I knew they'd go down," Seeing Severus with the fettered prisoner. "She's a fresh piece of flesh."
Severus shook her, bound and silenced in front of the guards. "Are we having fun or what, hmm, Ms. Granger? Hmm? Nod to the gentleman." Shaking her roughly again. Displaying his rakish grin to best advantage.
She jerked her head in assent, looking extremely angry.
"Yeah..." The guard drawled.
"Look smart." Severus commanded the young sentries.
Pushing her along, Severus stopped short of the fence. "Shh, keep your head down," his whisper was ragged. Almost to the tree line. "We're not safe yet. When I undo the charm don't make a sound. And be good for me." She shook her head vigorously. Glancing around casually. "I know the Order is waiting somewhere out there, we need to get to them."
They saw it poke it's head between the trees. "It's Lupin's Patronus."
"I feel so much better now it's all over." Snape said to Hermione with feeling just before they disapparated. Crack.
The dying light colouring the sky reflected on the floor of the hospital wing.
"Lupin, she is fine. Unfortunately for her she'll need to serve my needs before I return to the Dark Lord. My usurping a prisoner will not go unpunished and I'll need something I can take back to him as proof of my continuing support. I'm sure I'll be Cruciated to within an inch of my life regardless." Lupin looked like he was ready to argue. "I'll inform the Headmaster myself. I'm sure he will agree since Ms. Granger is of age."
"But you're her teacher she trusts you." Lupin reasoned.
"Yes Lupin, and she'll be able to trust me when I'm done. She'll know that I wouldn't deliberately put her in danger and given a chance I'd wouldn't cause her unnecessary pain. I can modify a memory but I can't create a wholly false one. We all make sacrifices, Lupin." Turning from Lupin. "Come Ms. Granger we have work to do."
Hermione followed Snape out of the Hospital, laying a comforting hand on Lupin's arm in passing.
AN/ 'T' I hope you revisit the story to tell me what you think of the changes.
