Chapter 3

What the fuck? Severus did an about face and headed towards the Heads dorm after hearing voices yelling. He couldn't make it out but it sounded like a couple arguing. Severus had no idea how thankful he would be that he turned around to investigate what was going on.

"Let her go you arsehole!" Ginny yelled, trying to pull Cormac off of Hermione.

"Back off," Cormac backhanded Ginny so hard he split her lip. "This is between me and my property."

"Please, Ginny, just go. I'll be fine, I promise," Hermione pleaded with her friend. She knew that if Ginny put up more of a fight that it would just make it worse for her.

"I didn't tell you, you could speak," Cormac turned back around and decked Hermione square on the jaw, causing her to pass out. "Now look at what you made me do! Fucking useless excuses for space!" He turned towards Ginny, deciding that he needed to show her, her place. Show her that she had no right to interfere with what he owned and how he handled his property.

"Confundo! Incarcerous!" Severus quickly called his patronus, saying a quick message, and then sent it off for Professor Dumbledore and Madam Pompfrey. Once he was sure Hermione was fine internally, he gently picked her up and laid her on the couch behind him. He turned to Ginny and quickly healed her split lip. "Now that that is over with. Would you care to tell my what the fuck is going on?"

"Well, I took what you told me to heart. She'd been fighting me tooth and nail about her relationship. When I noticed she would hold her ribs when she'd reach for something too quickly or to pick something up from the floor, I finally told her to stop lying to me," Ginny took a deep breath and faced Severus head on. "I asked her to show me where it hurt but she freaked out and started crying. I begged her to show me and she kept saying she was fine. I asked her to strip to show me it was true," She paused to take a deep breath again, she felt bad for what she did but she knew she had to. "When I saw nothing on her body, I called out 'finite incantatem'… Merlin's beard Professor… The amount of healing and freshly given bruises on her… how could she… how coul-" She bared her face in Severus's chest as he pulled her into a hug. He may be considered a heartless bastard but that didn't mean he couldn't understand her pain at realizing someone had been brutalizing her friend, brutalizing someone she looked at as an older sister.

"Okay, that's enough for now Miss Weasley. Once Professor Dumbledore and Poppy get here I'll call for Draco and Potter for you," Severus pulled back and helped her up and into the chair across from Hermione.

"Professor it was so frightening. I don't know how she did it. The way his face contorted into this horrible monster when he saw me helping her put her clothes back on. It was even more horrible than seeing Voldemort walking up to the castle with Harry 'dead'," Ginny shuddered with the memory.

"Just you wait you fucking whore! I'll punish you both for interf-" Before Cormac could finish his threat Severus sent a silencing charm on him along with a spell to glue his tongue to the roof of his mouth.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to hurt you or Miss Granger," Severus said before turning to talk to Professor Dumbledore and Madam Pompfrey as they just entered the dorm.
