Albus put on the most pleasant face he could as three of the Governors stepped out of the fire. He had finally consented to having them observe the school after several more letters, each one a little more forceful than the last. But as long as everything went smoothly today, as long as everyone managed to behave themselves, then they would be out of his beard and he could go back to running this school like he had been for the last few years.

"Good Morning Governors" Albus greeted as he stood "Lemon Drop?"

"No Thank You Albus" Governor Bones stated as she looked up at him before glancing at her fellow governors. This was not going to be as easy as he thought it would be. He was hoping to keep them in his office, go over the report that Madam Pomfrey had sent them.

"We are here strictly on business as you know" Governor Bones stated, "We don't have time to sit and socialize over muggle candy, Now I believe you got the report that was sent to us by your resident healer?"

The headmaster nodded as he resumed his seat, not bothering to invite the others to sit down. He wanted this over with and over with now. How dare Poppy go over his head, how dare she take interest in someone who was already a lost cause. It wasn't as if anyone else cared for the stupid boy, if they did then something would have been done years ago, he couldn't understand why the boy was so interesting now.

"I hope you understand the severity of what is going on here Albus, this is no laughing matter, another student attempted to assault another student" Governor Bones stated as she looked over the paper on her clip board. "I want to see Mr. Snape's medical records as well as the disciplinary records of his attackers"

Dumbledore looked at the Governors, anger was boiling in his blood as her demands met his ears, but he would comply with their demands, he would let them have their way and he would make sure that in the end this all came off as Snape's fault.

Sirius couldn't help but grin as he watched Avielle give Snivellus a departing squeeze before she bounded down the opposite corridor away from them. The hall was clear now except for Snape waiting for Mary, and she wouldn't be for some time, and some time was all the time they needed. He glanced out of the corner of his eye to see James nod and they slowly moved out of the shadows.

"It is time to pay for what you have done to Remus you slime ball" Sirius sneered as they came at him.

Severus backed up against the wall, his head swiveling from side to side, he was looking for a way out, but he and James blocked the way.

"I don't know what you are going on about" Severus' voice shook as his back was against the wall.

"Of course you do" Sirius sneered as he closed the gap between them and grabbed Severus' collar and slammed him against the wall. "You got Remus' badge taken away that day, and you are going to get what you deserve." James chuckled darkly as Sirius slammed him into the wall one last time before he punched him in the eye.

Severus crumpled to the ground as Black let go of his collar. His face hurt were Black had hit him and he could feel his eyes begin to water as the pain pulsed thought his head. He could feel two hands grab him roughly by the arm as they began to drag him down the hall. He fought against the strong grip that pulled him away from his place. As they pulled him along, he could feel someone yank his forgotten wand from his hand and toss it away. He hoped Mary would notice he was gone, he hoped she wouldn't think he had left her. He opened his eyes to see his bag laying on the floor and his wand right next to it as he was dragged away. He knew now that he shouldn't have ignored that horrid feeling that he had for days. He fought against them as they pulled him along, but the harder he fought the harder they kicked him in the side when he stilled. They were going to hurt him and he knew it, they were always hurting him.

Severus let out a yelp as he was thrown into one of the empty classrooms that was rather far from the place he was to be waiting for Mary.

"Now we have him all to ourselves" Sirius sneered as he loomed over him. The look on their faces as he looked up at them through the fringe in his face. He should have known better than to open his eyes the moment he impacted the ground, but he couldn't help it, but it gave him enough time to hide his face as the punches began to rain down upon him. He tried to curl into a ball, but the moment he pulled his legs towards his chest one of them would drag him across the floor until he was the way they wanted him.

Severus could taste the blood from his lip as he tried not to cry out in pain as they continued to rain down on his body with blows. After what seemed like hours the punching and kicking stopped. He laid there, groaning almost silently as his body ached, but he didn't relax, he couldn't relax. He could still hear them above him, panting like the beasts they were. They were not done with him yet. He cracked open his eyes to the sight of them smiling down at him. His eyes grew wide with realization and he attempted to get up from the floor, he wasn't going to let this happen, he wasn't.

James and Sirius managed to wrestle him to the ground. He was panicking now, he was fighting against the boys, but it was failing as Potter pinned his arms to the ground as Black dug him knees into his thighs. He struggled, but his battered body could not fight anymore. Tears were welling up in his eyes as his torn shirt was tugged out of his trousers. He shuttered as he felt his belt undone and the button and fly on his trousers being opened against their will.

"Please. . . Please don't do this, Please." He begged but all he got was an evil laugh from above him. They were not going to stop this time, this was what they had been working up to.

"Oh shut it Slime ball, you know you are going to enjoy it" Potter Whispered in his ear. He wasn't even looking anymore. Instead he had closed his eyes and held them shut tight.

The buttons on his shirt were popping off as someone was ripping it, tearing the already battered fabric to shreds. He screamed as someone bit his neck harder than the last time as his tie was draw away. Tossed somewhere in the distance, where his robe had ended up, he had no idea. He was just hoping that someone, anyone, would come and find him. But that hope was slowly dying as his slacks started to travel down his legs as Sirius tugged at them.

"Please Stop Please" He was sobbing now, no one was coming. No one. "Please don't" was all he managed as he felt his boxers go the way of his pants. He tried to forget that is was happening, that it was all a bad dream but the clanking of metal as Black undid his belt and the unmistakable sound of a zipper made it difficult.

He managed to hold his eyes shut as he felt Blacks warm breath against his ear and with one movement from above, he screamed. At that moment, it felt like something inside him broke, that last piece of normality he had been clinging onto had been shattered, crushed into a million pieces as the pain moved through his body. Severus turned his head away from where Sirius' face loomed above his, he was sobbing in earnest, but that didn't matter, not as Black had his way with him as his buddy watched while he pinned him to the ground. He tried not to think about what would happen to him next, he would rather die than to think of that. But no one was coming to save him. Mary had forgotten about him, she probably didn't even bother to look for him, No one did. The last twinkle of hope he had was dying as the classroom doors burst open.

"What is going on here?" the room went still, and he felt James let go of his arms as he slowly got up.

"It isn't what you think Evans, I promise"
