Chapter three

The room stood in absolute silence with an air of serenity until…

"WHAT!!" cried Lupin rage filling every fibre of his being with a force that was tangible, Hermione scrambled backwards on the bed scared out of her wits fear evident in her eyes,

"Please, don't hurt me" she squeaked, hearing the terror in her voice brought Snape back down to earth with a bang, his body had gone rigid with shock as the Granger girls would be rapist had been announced,

"Hermione, it's okay he's not angry with you" He said with a gentleness so pure it shocked even himself along with an enraged Lupin, who was trying with all his might to calm down.

"Hermione I'm sorry please don't be frightened I promise not to hurt you" Lupin says, Hermione gingerly crawls back to the middle of the bed eyeing both men tensely, "How about we see if we can clean up that lip and those bruises Miss Granger" asks Snape trying to ease a little of the tension,

"O-Okay" is the small response.

Snape slowly reaches for his wand all the while keeping eye contact with the girl to show her that he is in fact trustworthy; as Hermione searches her professor's eyes she can surprisingly feel some of the terror still remaining in her body, diffuse out of her worn muscles and finally allows her body the pleasure of relaxing, Snape, being above the normal perception of human emotions, can sense this and realises that a bond that can never again be broken has formed.
