A/N: Brandy: I'm so sorry!!! I felt awful when I read your review. I was going to send you an e-mail apologizing, but my friend said a public apology in my next chapter we be better. I didn't mean to offend you. Don't worry, the rape stuff is done. Sorry to any1 whom I offended through last chapter's rape!
"What's all this?" Snape snarled.
"Professor Snape, Hermione had been attacked," Harry said, nodding to Hermione who was still crying on his shoulder.
"Attacked? By whom?" Snape asked, a look of concern spreading across his face.
"Draco Malfoy, sir," Harry said.
"Thank you, Mr. Potter, you take Miss Weasley back to your common room. I'll take care of everything from here," Snape said, putting his arm over Hermione's shoulder and guiding her through his office door.
"Thank you, Professor," Harry said, taking Ginny back upstairs.
"What happened?" Snape said, sitting Hermione down and taking a seat right next to her.
"Draco said, that if I didn't tell him whether or not we were dating, he would have to force it out of me," Hermione said, her tears letting up slightly.
"Then what happened?" Snape asked kindly.
"I refused to tell him, he threw me into the closet, and that's when he….he…." Hermione couldn't finish, she was in tears again.
"How did you manage to escape?" Snape asked concernedly.
"R-Ron saved me, I saw his ghost take the shape of a lion, and the lion charged at Malfoy and he ran away," Hermione said.
"I see, but, tell me this, did Mr. Malfoy ever find out about…..you and me?" Snape asked, sounding the slightest bit nervous. There was no need for Hermione to answer, her new tears told it all. Snape put his other arm around her and rocked her gently. He kissed her on the cheek.
"Just before Ron showed up, he…..he forced it out of me," Hermione said through tears.
"Well, don't worry, somehow, it'll be okay," Snape assured her. "We better go and see Dumbledore," he declared. He picked her up and carried her off. They reached Dumbledore's office and Snape said, "Pumpkin Pastie" and the spiral staircase began moving up.
"Good afternoon Severus, Miss Granger," Dumbledore said smiling.
"Not really, Professor," Snape said politely, "Hermione has been attacked," He said. The smile faded from Dumbledore's face as Hermione tried to explain as best she could the events of the morning.
"Phineas, go to Minerva McGonagall's office, and tell her to bring Mr. Draco Malfoy back here," Professor Dumbledore asked the portrait of former headmaster, Phineas Nigellus.
"Certainly, sir," said Phinaes, eager to see how things were going to turn out. Within a few minutes, Draco Malfoy had turned up, Professor McGonagall was at his heels.
"Why am I being called to you office, Professor Dumbledore?" Draco asked innocently.
"Mr. Malfoy, is it true, that you have caused some physical harm to Miss Granger?" Dumbledore asked, remaining calm.
"No, sir, I've been in my common room all day studying, sir," Draco lied politely.
"LIAR!!" a portrait shouted, Hermione recognized it as the previous Headmaster Dippet.
"How to hell would you know?" Draco yelled at the portrait.
"I saw you this morning, Malfoy! You pulled this young lady into the closet and locked her in there for quite sometime," Dippet said. For once in his life, Malfoy had nothing to say. He couldn't deny it now, he knew Dumbledore would take Dippet's word over his own.
"Professor Snape, do you perhaps have a bottle of Veritarserum with you?" Dumbledore asked, still calm.
"Yes, sir, right with me. Drink up Malfoy!" Snape commanded, handing Draco a small glass of the orange potion. Draco reluctantly swallowed it.
"Did you or did you not attack Miss Granger this morning?" Dumbledore demanded.
"I…..I….did," Draco spat.
"I see, well, we'll have no choice but to expel you from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please surrender to me you wand," Dumbledore said.
"NEVER!!" Draco yelled. He attempted to run out of the room.
"IMPEDIMENTA!!!" McGonagall yelled. Malfoy was stopped dead in his tracks. Snape ran up to him and grabbed his wand.
"Severus, if you don't mind, please destroy Mr. Malfoy's wand," Dumbledore said.
"With pleasure! REDUCTO!!!" Snape yelled. Draco's wand was reduced to nothing more than a pile of dust. Dumbledore took out a sheet of parchment and began to write something down.
"His parents will be notified immediately," Dumbledore said, rolling up the parchment and placing it in Fawkes' beak. "Fawkes, please take this to the Malfoy Manor," Dumbledore instructed. Fawkes nodded and disappeared. "Miss Granger, I suggest that you leave immediately, before Lucious arrives," Dumbledore instructed. Hermione nodded, but it was too late. Lucious had just appeared in Dumbledore's fire.
"What to hell is this about my son being expelled?!" Lucious bellowed. "Just for attacking some filthy mudblood? Filthy thing probably desired it, simply for the reason of being a mudblood," Lucious exclaimed.
"Lucious, I will not allow you to insult my students…." Dumbledore began, but he was cut off by Lucious.
"Oh, SHUT UP!!! I'm tired of you muggle loving ways. I hate that you've contaminated the school which I've chosen for my son to attend with common filth!" Lucious roared.
"How dare you talk to Albus Dumbledore that way!" McGonagall yelled.
"We don't need this school, with all the money and power my I have, we could buy this dump!" Lucious bellowed.
"Not while I'm alive, I can assure you that much," Dumbledore said, slightly angry.
"Well, I'll send my son to a better wizarding school," Lucious said.
"Do what you want, be he won't do well there," Dumbledore explained.
"What makes you so sure of that?" Lucious spat.
"His wand has been destroyed," Snape cut in.
Lucious couldn't respond. He was much too angry. He just grabbed his son and pulled him to the fire and finally he said, "YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF THE MALFOY FAMILY!!!" and I with a flash of green flame, he was gone.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that, Miss Granger, Severus, would you please take Hermione away," Dumbledore asked.
"Certainly," Snape said. He placed his arm over her shoulder and walked away. He didn't bring her back to the Gryffindor tower, he brought he back into his office, in order to console her more. He just kept his arm around her a let her cry. She finally stopped, sometime later. She just looked at Snape for a while, then she pulled him into a long, passionate kiss.
"How sweet!" Lavender exclaimed from the hallway.
"Very, but I feel terrible about the whole ordeal between her and Malfoy, Draco's dad seemed really upset, do you think he meant what he said?" Parviti asked.
"I wouldn't put it past him, the Malfoy's would do anything to regain their honor," Lavender explained.
"Lets leave them alone," Parviti suggested.
"We'll go back to the common room," Lavender agreed. The two girls ran off.
"Severus?" Hermione said, breaking the kiss.
"Yes, sweetheart?" Snape answered.
"I love you," she said.
"I…..I…..I….." Snape began.
"What's the matter?" Hermione said, tears forming in her eyes.
"Nothing, really, it's just that….." Snape started.
"What? You can tell me anything," Hermione assured him.
"It's just that no one has ever said that to me before," Snape explained sadly.
"Well, forget the past, I'm telling you right now, that I love you, more than anything," Hermione repeated.
"I….I love too," Snape said. He pulled her into another kiss.
A/N: how very romantic! Ugh, what about the Malfoys? What do you think they have planned? Please write any ideas in a review! 3 more reviews and I'll have 50! How exciting! Thanks to all my reviewers!
