Now for the story.......
Chapter 8
Hermione woke up Thursday morning, Severus' arm across her waist. She sighed happily and stroked the hand that lay near hers with her fingers, intent on staying in bed for a while longer. When she looked at the clock, however, she realized it was indeed time to get up. She moved the arm around her waist and got out of bed quietly, grabbing her uniform and heading for the shower. She had just finished rinsing the shampoo out of her hair when she felt two arms sneak around her. Hermione tensed before relaxing.
"Severus Snape do not scare me like that!" she scolded and then she heard a deep chuckle.
"Sorry dear" Hermione turned around and kissed Severus' wet nose gently before resting her head against his chest.
"Hmm do we really have to go to class?" she asked and Severus looked at her incredulously.
"Yes why?"
"Because I don't want to" she replied and Severus lifted her chin gently. She looked deep into his eyes before standing on her tippy toes to kiss him. Severus wrapped his arms more securely around her waist and gently pushed her against the tiled wall, inserting a knee between her legs. Hermione parted her lips slightly when Severus nibbled on her bottom lip, letting his tongue slide into her mouth. Severus rubbed his tongue against hers as he pressed his hands to the wall, effectively trapping her between his body and the wall.
"Severus" Hermione gasped when they broke the kiss. Severus smirked before kissing and nibbling at Hermione's neck, leaving little love bites all over the soft flesh.
"Come sweetheart. We need to make our appearance in the Great Hall" Hermione pouted before following Severus out of the shower to get ready.
15 minutes later
RON WEASLEY: ESCAPE FROM AZKABAN
Ron Weasley, convicted rapist of fellow student Hermione Snape nee Granger, escaped from Azkaban between receiving his sentence in court and last night at midnight. He was found by Auror Nymphadora Tonks when she changed for guard duty.
"I put his meal in his cell at exactly 7 am, as routine called for it. When I went back in there, the food had gone untouched and the "body" was giving off a rot-like odor. I tested the "body" with my wand and found that it was actually a transfigured giant eggplant."
Please be on the lookout for Ron Weasley and contact the Auror department if you spot him
-Rita Skeeter, Head Reporter
Hermione put down the newspaper, her face white. Severus finished reading the article after her, his face in a scowl. But his expression softened when he saw his wife.
"Sweetheart?" he asked gently. Hermione took a look at him and then passed out.
Later
Hermione didn't want to open her eyes but she knew she had to. She blinked at the bright sunlight before grabbing the pillow behind her head and pressing it over her eyes, trying to block out the bright sunlight.
"That won't work you know" Hermione removed the pillow to glare at her husband before asking,
"What happened and where am I?" Severus helped her sit up before saying,
"You're in the hospital wing. After reading the article in the Daily Prophet, you had a panic attack and fainted" Hermione nodded before whispering,
"They will catch him right?" Severus kissed her brow before replying,
"They better" Hermione smiled at him and was about to say something when the doors flew open and Lucius Malfoy came running in with Harry in his arms. Severus stood and helped Lucius put Harry in a bed as Poppy came running from her hospital.
"Severus I need a blood replenishing potion, a skele-grow potion, three pain reliever potions, a dreamless sleep potion and a bruise lotion stat" Hermione watched as her husband did what Poppy told him to do, her panic in full mode for her best friend.
"Alright I put him in a healing sleep so he'll be out for a while, especially with the dreamless sleep. Now my readings showed that he had 6 broken bones, a deflated lung, a broken leg, a broken wrist, and 25 bruise" Poppy said after an hour of healing spells and feeding Harry potions. Lucius sank next to Harry and asked in a hoarse whisper,
"Will he be alright?" Poppy nodded.
"He will be" Severus whispered something to Lucius before sitting next to Hermione again. He looked exhausted and Hermione asked fearfully,
"Why Harry and I? What did we do?" Severus looked up from his hands and said,
"Nothing. You did nothing sweetheart. I promise this to you: Ron Weasley will be caught again and whoever hurt Harry will be caught as well. I promise you two will have peace"
"What about Dumbledore?"
"Tom is taking care of that. Sweetheart I promise when this is done and over, you will have peace" Hermione nodded and Severus kissed her hands before handing her a potion.
"Please sleep my love. Today has been very trying for all of us." Hermione accepted the potion but before she drank it, she asked,
"Will you stay with me?" Severus smiled and nodded and finally Hermione drank the dreamless sleep and was asleep before her head hit the pillow. Severus smiled fondly at his wife as he laid her against the pillow. Finally, he turned to Lucius and watched his best friend.
"He was on his way to class when he was attacked. I heard him screaming and then I didn't hear anything." Severus waited for Lucius to continue, which he did eventually.
"Harry and I have been trying to get pregnant since our wedding night. I'm scared that he may have been already pregnant when this happened" Severus nodded and whispered,
"It will happen though and whoever did this to Harry will be caught as well" Lucius nodded and took up one of Harry's hand, rubbing it gently. Severus gave his friend a one arm hug before going back over to his wife. He had a feeling that things were about to get a whole lot worse.
Number 4, Privet Drive
It was raining outside. A cloaked figure hurried up the walk of his former friend's house, concealing his identity since he was a convicted criminal. He knocked on the door waiting, keeping his head far back into the folds of his hood. The door opened and a fat man stuck his head out.
"Look if you're one of those freaks, my nephew isn't here. He's at that freaky school he goes to"
"I am a former friend of your nephew and I am seeking revenge. I understand that you have had to beat and orally rape Potter in order to keep him under control. May I speak with you Mr. Dursley?" Dursley looked around before motioning for Weasley to enter the house. Petunia was out shopping and Dudley was at school so it would be easier for him to speak with Weasley.
"What do you need?"
"Here's the deal. I get you into Hogwarts and you can rape a girl for me and I will willingly pay you enough money to have you living lavishly for the rest of your life. Will you do it?"
"How much money are we talking about?" Dursley asked and Weasley smirked. He withdrew a shrunk briefcase and enlarged it before opening it and pushing it across the table.
"That's the down payment if you agree. The rest will come after the job is completed" A gleam appeared in Dursley's eye and he asked,
"Do you have details for me?" Weasley smirked and started telling him about Hermione, his revenge starting out perfectly.
"Also, if you will do me another job while you are at the school, I will pay you more money"
"Tell me" Weasley could see the greed for the money in Dursley's eyes and he said,
"I need you to slip Potter a potion that will cause him to slip into a coma and eventually die. It's a very slow acting poison but it will kill him. Your payment will double if you agree"
"When do I execute this plan?" Weasley smirked.
"In three days"
Riddle Manor
"How are they doing?" Severus and Lucius looked at Tom before Severus said,
"Hermione is still out. She was panicking and it isn't good for her so I gave her an extra powerful sleeping potion. She will be out until tomorrow."
"Harry is out as well but Madam Pomfrey says that he will wake tomorrow." Tom nodded and said quietly,
"Don't let them go alone anymore. I fear something terrible is going to happen soon" Severus and Lucius nodded before Tom told them to get back to Hogwarts before they were missed.
Three Days Later
Hermione and Severus were walking in a hallway together, needing to get out of the hospital wing even though Harry was still in there for his injuries were still healing. Severus was holding her against his left side and Hermione had her head on Severus' shoulder. Suddenly Severus crumpled to the ground and Hermione saw a very fat man behind him.
"Wha…..what do you……want?" she stammered as she checked Severus' pulse without ever taking her eyes off of the person.
"I was given a job and it involves you, Hermione Granger." Hermione shuddered and then suddenly felt the man dragging her into a classroom. He taped her mouth closed and then tied her hands behind her back before tearing off every piece of clothing. He ran his meaty hands up and down her body, a lustful gleam in his eyes. Hermione was trembling horribly.
'No! this can't be happening!? Not again! Please no!' Hermione thought as the fat man suddenly thrust into her without any sort of preparation or anything. She screamed against the tape, trying to fight her way from him. The fat man just kept slamming into her and she finally started to cry when he climaxed. He pulled out and zipped up his pants before leaving her in the room.
Hospital Wing
Lucius was in the bathroom when he heard Harry screaming. He ran from the bathroom to find a fat man disappearing from sight. Harry, was not awake and Lucius was panicking.
"POPPY!" Poppy came running from the hall and started casting spells on Harry, her eyes widening from shock.
"Find Severus! Tell him I need him to brew the counter-potion for the Lentamente Kill Potion IMMEDIATELY! Harry's already responded to it and slipped into a coma but if we are to stop the true affects of the potion, we need that counter-potion! GO!" Lucius nearly fainted when he heard what potion was in Harry's systems but managed to regain his composure and run from the wing. It was now a race against time to get that potion……………
