This is set in a confusing time the end of 6th year start of 7th Voldermort is strong but hasn't really made any action yet he's planning and sending his death eaters on raids to instill fear, some of the characters may seem a bit out of character a time but i'm just trying to show different sides to them, Hermione seems to recover fast you'll know what i'm on about when you've read but i'm playing on her to have a relapse how she gets to having one i'm not sure yet let me know if you have any ideas or constructive criticism it would be much appreciated.

You never know What Lies Behind Ones Steely Mask

"Turn to page 107 all the instructions you need are there, you may start" ordered Snape lazily

20 minutes into the lesson his door burst open the class gobsmacked to see a pale, tired, teary eyed Hermione

"Detention Miss Granger, tonight, seven o clock" she merely nodded, sealing way the tears for later, as she settled next to Harry and Ron

"Are you okay?" the whispered in synchronization

"Yeah" she said arranging her features as close to a smile as she could. Feeling Snape's eyes on her the whole time.

"Hermione…"

"I said I'm fine" she snapped immediately feeling remorseful

"We'll talk later" suggested Harry and as soon as these 3 words were out of his mouth she began planning ways to avoid them.

She felt a light hand on her arm from Harry to tell her the lesson was over as she had completely zoned out and flinched violently away from him, hurrying out the room before anyone could stop and question her.

At dinner it was the same "Hey Hermione" was all they said and she started mumbling about going to the library and hurried off staying in the deepest corner until her detention with Snape, which she ended up being 10 minutes late for.

"You're late" he demanded and once again she started rambling about homework and the library

"Miss Granger, would you mind telling me what is going on, first you are 20 minutes late my lesson, looking ill and like you are about to burst into tears, and then secondly you are 10 minutes to my detention and when I point this out to you, you start rambling, not even attempting to give me even a half coherent answer."

She dropped her head, opening her mouth but no sound came out, a silent tear dropping onto her lap.

"Nothing" she managed to choke out before her voice gave her away

"You may fool Potter but there's no way you can avoid this, what happened to you?" his voice serious as a hand reached out to her, flinching so violently Snape was surprised she didn't have a heart attack. Arms wrapped around her legs which were curled up at her chest as if trying to hold herself together… to protect herself.

Realisation suddenly hit Snape and spread across his face like wildfire

"You got raped didn't you?" His voice full of sorrow, as Hermione burst in to tears managing to choke out an incoherent 'yes' and nod her head which was buried against her elbow as if to hide her face

"Here drink this it will help" handing her a calming draught and vanishing the empty bottle before kneeling next to the chair Hermione was curled in

"Miss Gran… Hermione" his voice soft as he said her name "I understand this will be difficult… but you have to tell me what happened, I need to know so I can help you" his hand soothing her by stroking her head

"Can't you go in my mind?"

"I could but it will make it so you were back there, so much more real"

This time she reached out a trembling hand and took his in her own

"Please Professor" voice begging, eyes pleading, face tear stained "I… I can't… please"

He nodded his head solemnly "Ready?" She nodded her head and tightened her grip on his hand as he delved into her mind

She was sat in her room reading when there were several loud bangs from downstairs, seizing her wand; she got to the bottom of her stairs, greeted by 2 jets of blindingly green light which collided into her parents chests they died protecting her and they fell limply to the floor before the hooded Death eater.

"Run, get help, the order, anyone" her brain screamed but seeing her parents there on the floor, hearing the death eaters laugh it drove her over the edge all her pain and anger bursting out in wave of energy, 4 of the 8 were still standing how is that possible? Before she knew it her wand was half way across the room and a bruising grip closed on her wrists pinning them against the wall above her she couldn't move his hot body was crushing her there one of his legs between hers preventing her from moving, she was completely at his mercy "Dolohov, Karkaroff go on to the next raid take those with you" he ordered looking towards the fellow death eaters son the floor "Yaxley stay with me, make yourself comfortable in there, I'll call you if need"

"So Miss Granger, Draco's told me all about you" and with these 9 words the mask fell away to reveal Lucius Malfoy. Grey eyes full of lust. Pulling her hair hard angling her head so he could kiss her hungrily, "Relax you'll enjoy it, I promise" he smirked holding her hands in place with magic freeing his hands so he could undo her shirt and roam her body as he feasted on the skin at her chest, his hands sliding along the top of her jeans resting on the button, Hermione struggling against the holds.

"You taste delicious" his tongue tracing her lips as he kissed her more deeply than before, using magic to remove her trousers, sliding his hand inside her skimpy underwear, his lips at her ear as the quite moan she'd been trying to hold in escaped her lips "There's a good girl" he whispered tears streaming down her face.

"Please… leave me alone"

"Sorry, your to irresistible" ripping of her underwear and thrusting into her. Soon she wasn't able to hold in her moans. Coming inside of her he pulled out cast a quick cleaning spell and magical dressed her, but she felt dirty and horrible collapsing into a fit of tears seconds after they apparated away the sobs racking through her whole body.
