Little Boy, Big Change
A/N: OK, as most of you know, or don't know yet since I haven't posted any of my stories here before, I am unable to access my other accounts on this site for hotangelictomboy or pplhater2493 so I therefore have to abandon all stories pertaining to those
sites due to unforseen circumstances. I really hate doing this because I hate it when people do it to me as well, but I do not have my backup files anymore and it will not let me copy them because it thinks I'm trying to forge them. I am so sorry
about this, but unless someone can hack into it and get me the files, there is no way to continue on with the stories. Once again, very sorry guys.
Prologue: The Rape
Hermione Granger was cold, confused and scared. Her vision was blurred due to the torture she had endured and her head pounded like a jackhammer. She felt herself being dragged across the floor of the Dark Lord's throne room. She had been in his clutches
for a week now, having been captured at a battle.
As she was dropped to the floor, Hermione pushed herself up, her tattered clothes falling from her body. Then she heard his voice, the coldness filling her bones, the hissing making her shiver.
"We'll, Severus, here is your challenge. I have saved her specifically for you. Other than torture, nothing has been done to her. Prove your loyalty to me." There was a long pause as the tension built around them. "Take her."
"My Lord," Hermione heard the potions master say. "The Order has been looking for her."
"Yes, Severus, I am aware."
"My Lord."
Hermione felt rather than saw Snape remove his robes. As he neared her, she saw him unbuckle his belt and unbutton his pants. Her vision, ringing ears, and fear caused her to try to crawl away from the man. Snape grabbed her legs and flipped her onto
her back, pinning her to the cold, damp floor. The pain of her hymen breaking and the subsequent result gave her the relief of passing out.
When Hermione came to, she was being carried. She struggled against the strong hands that held her, but stopped when the man spoke. It was Snape.
We are almost to Headquaters. You can sleep and rest when we arrive. I suggest you tell no one of what occured unless you wish to lose the war."
They entered the house shortly after and Molly Weasley screamed when she saw who it was in Snape's arms, effectivley waking the house. When Snape tried to hand her off to Lupin, she refused to let go of him.
Upon arriving in her room, she requested that she be left alone with Snape after she was settled in. Her Potions Master stayed across the room, staring at the floor with his arms crossing his chest.
"Thank you," Hermione said.
He looked up at her in surprise, speaking with his usual sneer in an effort to cover it up. "How can you thank someone who raped you, Miss Granger?"
"Because he did not want to. And he kept me alive."
Chapter 1: The Secret
It was over. Voldemort was dead. The Final Battle had taken Kingsley, Percy, Moody, and Flitwick from the Order. The funerals were held together and ended in a flash for Hermione. Her mind was elsewhere.
Many people had questioned her about what she had endured, but she had told them nothing. She had promised she never would, but now it looked like she had no choice. She had a secret and she had kept it for two months to win the war, just as Snape had
requested of her.
She now sat oustide Grimuald Place next to a tree when Ginny approached.
"Hey," she said.
"Hi," Hermione answered, closing her book.
"Do you want to talk about it," Ginny asked.
"About what," Hermione queried.
"Your baby," Ginny answered softly after making sure they could not be heard.
Hermione was silent.
"It's been three months since you were captured. A month after that, you started eating more and you've been sick, as well."
Hermione stood and pleaded, "Please don't tell anyone."
"Why not," Ginny asked, confused.
"Please!"
"Okay, but why?"
"I haven't told the father yet," Hermione said, relaxing the moment Ginny agreed to keep quiet about her plight.
"Are you going to?"
"Yes, I just don'tknow when I will be able to."
"The night before you were taken, I know you were alone with Ron. He's my brother. I know he'll be there-"
"It's not Ron's," Hermione interrupted.
Ginny was silent with comprehension and then said tentatively, "You mean...when you were with You-Know-Who?"
"Yes." What had happened to Hermione was left unsaid between the two of them. They sat silently for hours, each thinking of what they would do.
"I'll be there for you," Ginny finally said. "If you need anything, I'll help you."
"Thank you, Ginny."
Later that evening, Severus Snape walked into Headquarter's kitchen at dinner and said, "Miss Granger, I wish to speak with you."
Hermione looked up from her dinner and stood to leave with him. When they arrived in her room, Snape closed the door behind them and silenced the room.
"When did you plan on telling me," He questioned.
She remained silent and confused as to what he was referring to.
"Miss Weasley informed me in a letter of your pregnancy. She then requested that I find the man who raped you so you could speak with him. So again, I ask you, when were you going to inform me?"
"When you stopped avoiding me at all cost," Hermione answered.
"Who else did you inform?"
"Ginny found out on her own, I asked her not to tell anyone."
"Well, she told me!" Snape shouted.
"Don't yell at me! I'm no longer your student and I'm nearly twenty years old, certainly no longer a child."
"Yes, andI'm thirty-nine. How will you explain the age difference to this child?"
"I'm doing this with or without your help."
"Don't I get a say in this," he demanded.
"If you want one."
"Then why don't you put the baby up for adoption?"
"I have always wanted children. It just happened sooner than I expected. I'm not giving it up."
"Fine then, keep the damn baby!" Snape slammed the door behind him and left her alone.
A/N: This story is the longest one that I have written so far and it is not finished but I feel that I am far enough ahead and have it all planned out that it should not take me that long to get it out. That being said, if you have any way to fix the
issue that you may or may not have read in the beginning, please send me a message in a review or a PM. Thanks guys!
