Had a think, and I didn't want to leave it like that so here's another chapter for you!
Minerva could do nothing, she could only watch as Greyback lowered his mouth onto Hermione's breast, taking the nipple into his mouth. Hermione's eyes gazed back at her, unmoving, unfeeling. Minerva frantically shook her head towards Hermione, tears pooled in her eyes.
"STOP!" she shrieked but Greyback just continued.
A moment more and he lifted his head to face Minerva, blood slowly seeped from Hermione's breast were Greyback had bitten, the delicate skin raw and inflamed.
"Stop?" said Greyback with a sickly smile on his face, "but she's enjoying it so much" and with a vile, short laugh he lowered his hand to between Hermione's thighs.
"No." Minerva whispered but she knew it was useless.
Greyback spread Hermione's legs with his wand, with a single flick they were spread and bent against the wall. He pressed his hand against her centre.
"Mmmm" he purred, "She's so wet Minerva."
Minerva of course knew that this was not true; her animagus traits meant that her sense of smell was incredibly good and she could sense arousal on a person.
Tears fell freely from Minerva's face as she screamed, "I WILL KILL YOU!"
Another laugh.
Minerva panted in her distress and her eyes found Hermione's again. The hazel eyes seemed turned off, as though Hermione wasn't really there.
"Hermione" Minerva begged, not knowing what she wanted her to do, what could she do? Nothing.
Finally, Hermione seemed to reappear behind her eyes and she stared at Minerva. She seemed to be searching for the emerald eyes and when she found them, a peace seemed to come over her face.
Minerva saw this change in Hermione and the love that had been building gushed up at once inside of her, Hermione had retreated to her. She did what she had wanted to do for weeks, months.
Their gaze held and Minerva shaped her lips to mouth three words to Hermione.
I love you.
Hermione flinched and Greyback laughed, oblivious to what was passing between the two prisoners.
Hermione seemed to find that anchor within Minerva again; she tied herself to it and closed her eyes.
She mouthed two words.
Thank you.
Tears fell again as Minerva watched, Greyback's fingers were running through Hermione's curls. The sight caused such an anger to burn up inside Minerva that she thought Greyback must sense it. She felt heat emanating from her as fury ripped through her, and when she saw Greyback reach Hermione's opening and quickly, roughly, thrust inside she felt a force run through her body and reach her wrists, she didn't realise what was happening until she felt the binds around her slacken.
Hermione didn't even flinch as Greyback withdrew his fingers and Minerva saw that small droplets of blood layered his filthy fingers. The thought that he had touched Hermione, unspoiled, pure, good, true Hermione doubled her anger and she felt the fire rage again more powerfully than before and the binds slackened further.
Greyback turned to Minerva and a satisfied smirk crossed his scarred face.
"What's wrong headmistress? Not enjoying the show?" then he laughed again, the sound seemed to tear against Minerva's soul, "perhaps, the second act, will be more enticing for you" and he turned back to Hermione, Minerva heard the sound of gathering fabric and she could see that Greyback had loosened his garments.
"Please" she panted, "anything but…"
A strangled sob left her mouth as she watched Greyback lift Hermione's legs and wrap them around him. He roughly pushed Hermione into the wall but again she did not flinch when he entered her, Minerva smelt the blood that had been spilt inside her but the girl did not move, her eyes were closed and her head hung to one side.
The fire shone through Minerva, stronger than before and she felt the binds loosen completely. She landed on her feet as the bonds broke. Greyback was grunting, thrusting heavily, deeply into Hermione.
Minerva searched frantically for her wand but finding nothing she picked up a jagged wooden plank, she approached quickly but quietly. Greyback was too immersed to hear her.
She drove the point deep into his back with venom; he cried out for a second and then sagged against Hermione before falling to the floor with a thud.
Minerva quickly lifted her hand to Hermione's cheek and took the girl in her arms, she cradled her in her arms and quickly lowered her down after she had found their wands in Greyback's robes.
"Hermione?" Minerva questioned, the girls had not moved since the small amount of silent conversation had passed between them. Minerva decided to get them out of immediate danger and then worry about Hermione's unconsciousness then.
She carried the girl into the middle of the room and thought fixedly of her manor, she met anti-apparition jinxes on her way but her anger simply burned through them, it seemed like a force-field surrounding her tearing through all obstacles.
They appeared in front of Minerva's manor; she quickly muttered the incantation to lift the protection for their entry and walked into the hall before securing the protection once again.
Hermione still held tight in Minerva's arms as she slowly climbed the stairs, the girl in her arms could have been sleeping but she was not. Minerva knew this. She had once been left in a similar state. Dumbledore had called it Catatonica Duermado.
Minerva walked slowly across the upper landing and into her bedroom where she gently laid Hermione down on the bed and gently laid her hand on her forehead.
"Oh my love"
Then the tears came, Minerva didn't think she would ever stop. She sat next to her beloved for hours but still she did not stir. She simply lay still, silence and peaceful.
The sun rose as usual, how could the world go on? How could everything be normal when so much had happened in the last few hours? The innocence that had been stolen. The pain that had been caused. But still the sun rose.
With Hermione's hand tightly clasped in her own, Minerva rested her head next to her former pupil's. Whether it was seconds or hours Minerva didn't know, but it felt like an eternity before a weak voice whispered,
"I love you too".
