Chapter 13: Severus Learns a Lesson
A few hours later, Severus had heard of Selina's actions towards
Voldemort during the conversation that had happened upon their return. He
headed off to Selina's room to have his own talk with her. He entered and
found her with Eric.
"I'd like to have a few moments alone with my daughter, please Eric." He
said.
Eric nodded, gave Selina a gentle kiss on the forehead, and left the room,
closing the door behind him.
"So, you lied to us all then?" Severus asked.
Selina knew immediately that this conversation would not end well.
"No father, I just." She started.
"Do not lie to me again!" Severus shouted, cutting her off.
Selina went silent.
"Well? What do you have to say for yourself?" Severus demanded.
"About what?" Selina asked in reply.
"Don't play games with me, you know perfectly well what I mean!" Severus
shouted again, taking a threatening step towards her.
"I'm sorry." Selina said quietly.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" Severus demanded, showing that this was not the
answer he had been looking for.
He now stood directly in front of Selina, and she looked up at him, a
slight fear growing inside her.
"Sorry for everything I've done that you see as wrong." She replied.
Severus reached out and tilted his daughter's chin up so that she looked
directly into his eyes.
"You mean you don't even know what you've done?" He asked in amazement.
"I didn't say that." Selina replied.
Severus' face grew angry and he struck her across the face again.
"You're lying to me again! You said you were sorry for everything you had
done that I found wrong. Therefore you don't know what you've done!" He
shouted.
"That's not what I meant!" Selina cried.
"I don't want to hear any more of your excuses! You have disappointed me
greatly this time. So much, in fact, that I am ashamed to call you family,
let alone my daughter." Severus said, beginning to attack her verbally.
This pained Selina more then the striking had, and she soon found herself
in tears.
"Father, please!" She begged.
"How dare you call me that!" Severus shouted, striking her again and again
with every word he spoke. "You are no longer worthy!"
Selina was in too much pain to speak, so she simply looked up at him, the
pain showing in her eyes. Severus took no notice of the pain she was
showing, but glared at her and continued to attack her.
"If you're mother were still alive, she would be so disappointed in what
you've become. She used to think the world of you, but now look at you-
you're a lying disobedient, and ungrateful child!"
Selina's heart shattered. The mention of her mother had always had a
negative effect on her, and Severus knew it. The pain was so great that
she slid off the bed and landed in a heap on the floor, crying.
"I don't know what Eric sees in you, but you better hope he still sees it
or you're life will end soon!" Severus threatened, storming out of the
room again.
Eric re-entered the room a few moments later.
"Selina?" He asked, now noticing her at first.
He then heard her sobbing and saw her, still lying in a crumpled heap on
the floor.
"Selina, are you alright?" He asked worriedly, running to her side.
"No." Selina replied through her tears.
"Selina, I swear I'll make him pay for this!" Eric said, growing angry.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." He finished, leaving the room again.
He found Severus on his way down the hall.
"Severus!" He shouted.
Severus stopped and spun around.
"Come with me!" Eric commanded.
Severus wanted to protest, but knew better and simply followed.
Eric led him to Selina's room, and they both entered.
"Take a good look at your daughter, and tell me what you see!" Eric
commanded.
Severus stared down at Selina for a few moments.
"I see a disobedient child who deserves to die." He finally replied.
Eric slapped him. "How dare you speak of her in such a way! It's no
wonder she's in her current state!"
Severus simply looked shocked that he was being spoken to in such a way.
"Hopefully that knocked the evilness out of you and some sense into you.
Take another look at her." Eric said.
Severus looked down at Selina again. Selina looked back up at him, her
pain filled eyes, now reddened from the tears that still fell, boreing into
his own. Severus' heart melted at what he saw.
"Selina, I'm so sorry." Was all he could say.
"Why should I accept that as an apology from you when you don't' accept it
from me?" Selina asked through her tears.
Severus simply stood there quietly, tears forming in his own eyes, as he
knew she was right.
"Glad to see you've come to your senses." Eric said. "Now leave us."
Severus looked at Selina for a few moments longer, wishing he could go back
and do things differently, then he finally left the room again.
