A/N Snape still a bit OOC.

I awoke aching all over trying to think of why I was hurting. Then I remembered what my Uncle Chris did and hoe Severus had taken me to his room. Only this wasn't his room at Grimauld Place… we were back at school.

I opened my eyes and say I was in his bedroom. The bed sheets were black and the bed was made of mahogany. There was a single bookshelf with what I guessed were his favourite books. A small mahogany bed side table next to the bed. I peered up to the door and noticed it was closed. I felt trapped. What if Chris came to get me? I started to panic again.

I shut my eyes tight and screamed as loud as I could 'SEVERUS!' all of a sudden the door burst open and he ran over to me. I had pulled my knees up to my chest and put my head on the top of my knees. He sat next to me and put his arms around me. He whispered in my ear. 'No one will ever hurt you again Hermione. If I find out who did this to you I will curse that bastard from here to next century.' This comforted me to know he was here next to me. I raised me head to his shoulder and he turned awkwardly so he could just see my face. I didn't want him to see the tear that silently slid down my face. I felt so shameful I mean I had turned up to his room half naked.

'Dumbledore has said you may stay down here as long as you wish to recuperate. Your stuff is already down here. There is something of a serious nature we must discuss though but it can wait until after you are dressed and have eaten.' Severus said in a very neutral tone. With that he squeezed my hand trying to reassure me and went to leave. As he did he went to close the door and I said 'No' 'But you need to change?' he replied a bit curious as to why I would say no. 'I need the door open I feel trapped other wise'. He nodded and left.

I quickly dressed while thoughts of this discussion of a serious nature would be about. It worried me.

I walked out of the room and into Severus's living room. I sat opposite him on one of his soft leather sofas. On the table between us there was some pumpkin juice and toast which he motioned for me to eat. I stared at it and pushed it away. I looked up at him again and said 'What do we need to discuss?'

'Your Uncle Chris is not who you think he is. He is not a muggle as you may think but he is a wizard. He has recently joined the ranks of the death eaters because of his service's to Lord Voldermort which was the brutal beating of you. Dumbledore thinks he may come back for you which is why you are staying with me and also because I believe you feel some what safe around me.' At this I nodded to agree with his last statement. 'Hermione I no you have seen me as a horrible man but I would like to say sorry for that. Around some people as you know I must keep up my guarded demeanour but I would like to show you my softer side.' I smiled at him. 'I hold you in my highest respects Severus' I said quietly 'As do I to you' Severus said, a smile was playing on his mouth. 'I do care for you. I hope you know that' with that he walked into his study

He cared for me and I knew he would protect me but oh gods I could see I was going to die. That's all I could think. I rushed of to Severus's bathroom and locked the door. I didn't like the door being closed but I needed to be alone. This was too much for me to take. He was going to come back for me. He may succeed to rape me the next time and kill me afterwards. I was so scared. My parents were dead, My Uncle had lied to us and was know trying to rape and murder me. I couldn't take this I needed a release.

I searched all through his bathroom cupboard until I found what I was looking for… his razor. I brought it to my wrist twice both quite deeply. Blood was gushing out of my left wrist again. I didn't want to do this I had to stop. It was not good for me and I knew that but it just made me feel a bit more whole like I used to. I had stopped myself from a cutting a while ago. It was when Sirius died that I had done it once or twice but I stopped after that. In the end it gave me the terrible feeling of being dirty. I couldn't help but feel worn out so I lay on the floor of Severus's bathroom and fell asleep almost immediately

I started to dream a terrible dream….

…..::::Dream Sequence::::…..

I was lying on my uncle's floor again only this time he was in death eater robes. 'I have you now you dirty little whore. You can't get away this time' his raspy voice said. He started hitting me again and again. The blows were breaking my ribs I could feel it. He was ripping at my clothes again. BANG the door of his cottage swung open to reveal a bright green light…

…..::::End Dream Sequence::::…..

I awoke and sat bolt upright. I was still on the bathroom floor. My piercing screams could be heard all through the dungeon floor. I was screaming for him again…

A/N I do no that it is a dark fic and it does not depict the Hermione we no but this is just a twisted version of her. This is a short one but next Chapter should be long because I have tones to put into it.
