Voldemort smiled to himself as the many thoughts and feeling Hermione was
having flooded into his mind. Luckily her short term death had not broken
the spell he had placed on her. He could see her and everything around her
perfectly. Voldemort delighted in the site of her almost entirely exposed
body. Perhaps he would not use Draco to deliver his heir after all. He
pushed his lust aside as Hermione and Snape embraced each other.
Hermione's mind filled with thoughts of Severus' hands roaming over her
body. Voldemort chuckled.
"My, aren't we in a rush?" He said continuing to watch the display. "I'll just have to put a stop to that now won't I?"

Hermione. The voice whispered again and then began to laugh that horrible laugh. Hermione pushed away from Severus suddenly and put her hands over her ears.
"No. No!" Hermione screamed and shook her head violently, trying to get his voice out of her head. She was vaguely aware of Severus grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her gently. He was saying something to her, but all she could hear was Voldemort's laughter. Why wasn't she able to escape him? Severus picked her up and carried her out of the lake over to a nearby tree.
"Hermione!" Severus shouted, but there was no getting through to her. Potter and Weasley were pacing behind him as he tried again and again to get her attention. They were far to slow for his liking. Hermione was now rocking herself back and forth, muttering under her breath.
"No...go away." She said distantly still holding her head.
GO AWAY! She thought in a wild state of fury. The voice was silenced instantly. Hermione finally noticed Severus kneeling in front of her. She looked up at him, grateful that he was there. She threw her arms around him wanting to be in the safe confines of his arms. He obliged by wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer to him. He kissed the top of her head several times, murmuring things into her hair. Hermione wanted nothing more than to cry. She couldn't escape Voldemort, no matter how hard she tried. She held her tears at bay. She couldn't worry Harry and Ron anymore than they already were. Severus picked her up again, said something to Ron and Harry and then carried her into the castle.

Voldemort jerked back in his chair. The little halfling had somehow pushed him from her mind. He would have to prepare the spell he required before continuing to break Hermione. With nothing but nightmares to greet her, she would soon crumble at his feet. It is her destiny, he thought, a cruel smile touching his lips. Voldemort only needed to prevent Hermione's fantasies from coming true. He pulled a small flask from his pocket. Black liquid swirled inside. After this she would be totally in his control. He had to admit that he admired her fiery spirit, but not the tongue that came with it.

Hermione never once thought to ask where Severus was taking her. She didn't care. As long as she was with him she was safe. Hermione looked at the stairs they were descending. They were the ones she had walked down with him many months ago. The ones that led to his living quarters. Hermione's body gave an involuntary shudder as the air grew slightly colder. Severus felt her shiver and pulled her closer to his body. They were almost there and then he could warm her up. At the door Severus muttered a spell allowing him entry. He walked through the room to the bed where he put her down gently. Severus pulled the coverlets over her and was about to go get a warmer set of clothes for her when she grabbed his forearm. She looked frightened.
"Please, don't go." She said quietly. "Just stay with me please." Hermione pleaded. Severus sat down on the bed and kissed her on the head. Hermione laid back down and Severus followed, wrapping his arms around her. Hermione relaxed in his arms giving a small sigh of contentment. Severus rested his cheek on her head and then soon fell asleep in the safety of the others love.
A/N Sorry about all the cliffhangers, I know they can get annoying, but that's the way I write. I meant to put this up yesterday, so I'll try to write the next chapter and get it up tonight.
