Okay, a lot of you guys got the wrong idea. Obviously, the last chapter was not the last, but there is a good chance this one will be. But, I have written a lot of short stories

that aren't Harry Potter. I could put them on fictionpress.com if you guys wanted to read them.

~*~*~*~*~*~

someone28: You'll find out why he's evil soon enough!

Ariana Althena Evergreen: Glad you like the story!

Casiana Joy: Don't worry, it's not the end! I still have one more chapter, or maybe more! Who knows!

BaYer04rulz: haha, yes sadly, my story must come to and end sometime. By the way, you need to update the Tangling Dilemma! Really you do!

Eternal Queen: Hmmm halfway convincing? Eh, good enough. Anyway, hope you like this chapter!

Rain10: The story's ending cuz there's just nowhere to go after this, you know? I can't just babble on and on about stuff. I mean I guess I could, but that would be kinda boring, don't you think?

rebecca89: Thanks for the compliments!

AlienSmile13: I didn't REALLY end it! Just a cliffhanger!

Ron couldn't believe what had just come out of Hermione's mouth. "What?" he asked. "You were-you were what?"

"Raped Ron!" Hermione said, a tear streaming down her cheek. "I was raped!"

Ron put a hand on her cheek and stroked it. Hermione held his hand. "Who did this to you?" he asked, quietly.

"Professor Snape." said Hermione.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Minerva, I can't stand it any longer..." Professor Snape said, his face in his hands.

"I know." said Professor McGonnagal.

"No," he said, "No, you don't know. Do you know what it's like to do horrible things to people and not being able to control them? I can't take it! Maybe I should just kill myself now and get it over with." Severus said, standing up.

"No, Severus." Professor McGonnagal said, standing in front of him. "You can't. I wont let you."

"Minerva, please. You don't even like me that much." said Professor Snape said.

Professor McGonnagal smiled. "Well, you're right about that." she said. "But, I have warmed up to you over the years and I'm not going to let you die. Not now."

Professor Snape smiled, then sighed, sitting in a chair. "Well, what am I going to do? I can't even begin to make up for what I've done to Ms. Granger. What next?"

"No, you can't make up for what you've done," Professor McGonnagal said. "But, you can try. Hermione needs someone right now, and I think that person might be you."

Professor Snape looked down at his desk and sighed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"PROFESSOR SNAPE?!" Ron bellowed, loud enough for anyone to hear.

"Yes, Ron, keep it down." Hermione said.

"I can't!" Ron yelled. "How could he do something like that to you?" Ron sat down, and sighed. "What did he do?"

"I can't tell you." Hermione said.

"Yes, you can." said Ron.

Hermione shook her head, tears streaming. "I can't! I don't want it to be real. Not again, not again. I- I-"

"Shhh," Ron said. "It'll make you feel better. Tell me."

Hermione shook her head and Ron stroked her cheek. Hermione took a deep breath. "I was just brushing my hair, thinking. That's all I was doing. Then, I turned around and saw him there. He stepped toward me and I stepped back until I was against the wall, and he just kept coming. I couldn't go anywhere; he was against me. I asked him to let me go but he wouldn't. He said my towel would fall if he stepped back, so I was trapped. I started to get drowsy and wasn't thinking straight. He grabbed me by the neck and snapped my head up and I started to cry out for you. He told me to be quiet and I told him to get away from me and he did. He stepped away from me and the towel fell. I was standing bare right in front of my own teacher." Hermione stopped to take a deep breath. "I stood in front of him, too scared to do anything and he started to take off his robes. I closed my eyes, but I could hear him rustling. Suddenly, I felt him grab me and throw me to the ground. He held me down and I tried to push him off, but there was no use. Then it happened. I can't remember anything after that."

Both Hermione and Ron were paler when she finished speaking. Ron couldn't stand it. "How dare he do that to you?" He stood up. "I hate him!"

"Ron! Please!" said Hermione.

"Please what?! He hurt you! And I'm not going to stand for that!" said Ron. "I'm going to go give him a piece of my mind!"

"That wont be necessary, Mr. Weasley." Ron spun around to see Professor McGonnagal and Professor Snape standing behind him.

"You!" Ron said, poking Snape threateningly. "You did this to her! Do you see what it did? DO YOU?!" Professor McGonnagal grabbed his arms, trying to keep him from lunging at Snape.

"Mr. Weasley, I couldn't control it. It was-" Professor Snape started.

"BULLSHIT!" Ron bellowed.

"Ron! Stop!" Hermione yelled.

"You don't even care that you completely destroyed this girls life! She wont be the same again and it's all because of YOU!" Ron yelled, ignoring Hermione.

"Mr. Weasley, come with me and I'll explain everything to you." Professor McGonnagal said, dragging Ron out.

"There's not explaining needed! He's a man whore and that's all there is to it! Burn in hell, Snape! BURN IN HELL!" Ron's voice got softer as he was dragged out of the hospital wing.

Hermione watched Snape's every move as he sat down in the chair Ron had sat in. "Hermione, I'm sorry." She looked away. "If I could have controlled it, I would have never gone farther than telling you I knew you liked me."

Hermione glared at him. "If you could control it? You had complete control over it!" she yelled.

"Actually, I didn't." he said. "Hermione, I'm a Gemini. Do you know what that means?" Hermione shook her head. "It means I'm supposed to have two personalities. But, I'm not ordinary Gemini. I was born into a family that had a curse running through it. Every May, my other personality comes back. And I know my real personality isn't that appealing, but the other one is worse. That one is the one that has been hurting you these past few weeks. That is the one that raped you this evening."

Hermione looked over to him. "So, you really didn't do it?"

"No, Hermione. I didn't want anything bad to happen to you." he said. "Will you forgive me?" Hermione looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away. She couldn't forgive him after what he did, even if he didn't really do it. Snape sighed. "I don't blame you. It's okay, I understand." With that, he stood up and left the room. Hermione looked up at the ceiling. What was she going to do?

~*~*~*~*~*~

Next week, they all had the O.W.L.s and the week after that, they spent getting ready to leave. Hermione had only seen Professor Snape once, and it was very awkward. She barely spoke to him. Ron, Hermione, and Harry were spending a lot of time together, as they would probably not see much of each other that summer. On the day before they left, everyone rushed around trying to finish packing. Ron and Harry were two of those people. Hermione laughed at them, always the procrastinators. She had finished hers a while ago. Hermione decided to take a little walk.

The corridor was completely empty, except for the occasional mouse or two. Hermione walked down the steps to the last floor, where the Dungeons were. She turned into a familiar one and looked into complete darkness. Once her eyes had gotten used to the light, she looked at the desk she had daydreamed at for so long. Hermione walked to her desk and touched the wood. Next year, some new first year would be sitting there, probably scared to death of his or her new Potions master. Hermione sat down and took in the familiar sour sent of the Dungeons, but tonight was different; for some reason it was special. For some reason she liked the scent. Hermione looked around and saw a familiar face watching her.

"Hello, professor." Hermione said.

"Hello, Ms. Granger." said Professor Snape.

"Oh please, professor." Hermione said. "Haven't we known each other long enough for you to call me Hermione?"

Professor Snape grinned. "I hardly think it would be appropriate." he said.

"Well, why not? Just this once." she said. "Let's have a conversation. I'll address you as Severus and you can call me Hermione."

"What would we talk about?" he asked.

"I don't know." Hermione said. "Anything I guess."

Professor Snape sat down in front of her. "Okay, Hermione. How do you think you did on your O.W.L.s?"

"Uhhh, let's not talk about that." she said.

Professor Snape chuckled. "Okay then. You pick."

Hermione sat for a few seconds, thinking. Finally, she asked, softly, "Why can't you control your other personality?"

Snape's grin died away and he sighed. "I don't know. I wish I could. It has always alienated people."

"Like who?" she asked.

"Everybody. When I went to school here, it would come back and I would yell at everybody. I became an outcast and no one wanted to talk to me. Not even my brother. I became an enemy and Potter and his friends were always spreading rumors. 'Hey everybody! Let's check Snape's drawer for pads!' or 'Snape's a little moody today. Maybe boys can have periods. Oh wait, he isn't a boy!' It was horrible. If I could have changed anything about myself, it would have been my other personality."

Professor McGonnagal came over the loudspeaker. "All students report to the lake to put all your belongings that you do not need in the train." Hermione stood up.

"Well, I guess I have to go." she said.

"I'll see you next semester." Snape said. He held out his hand. Hermione looked at it and grinned. She jumped on him, giving him a big hug. Professor Snape was stiff at first, but softened up and held her tight. "Bye, Hermione."

"Bye, Severus." She said, smiling. Professor Snape grinned and turned around, walking toward his desk. Hermione smiled and turned to leave, but stepped back. She faced Professor Snape's back and said, softly, "I forgive you."

With that she left, and Professor Snape smiled to himself. A new year would come and he would see her again. Everything would be okay again.
