Erica's P.O.V."
"Elg?" He whispered softly, his face an inch or so form mine. He had my arms pinned to the wall, so I couldn't struggle free.
"Yes..." I said, confused.
"The same one that hung around with those idiots Potter and Black all day?"
I would have slapped him right then if he didn't have my arms pinned like this. "Idiots? Don't you dare call them that!" I yelled at him.
"Don't yell at me Elg. I don't want to hear it. After all those years of you and your stupid friends picking on me, I go and help you. And then, to top this night mare, I fall in love with you."
"What in the world are you talking about Severus?"
"You don't know by that name," he took a hand away from my arm and slapped me across my face, "You only know me as Snivelus."
I could feel my face becoming hot with pain where he had slapped me. 'Don't cry. Don't cry.' I warned myself. I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but hate in them.
"No. You're not..." I couldn't finish the sentence.
"Yes. But guess what Elg? You don't have your little buddies to help you now, do you?"
I didn't anything. My mind wasn't working correctly.
"DO YOU?" he hollered in my face.
"No." I said in a small voice.
"That's right," his voice went back to that deadly whisper. He pulled me from the wall and flung me flying until I hit a near-by desk.
The tears were coming closer to spilling out of my eyes now.
"Come on now, cry." He said, walking towards me.
"Go." I said, barely able to speak.
"What?" he said menacingly, getting closer, "Did you just tell me to leave my own dungeons?"
"Stay away." I say, knowing it's not going to make him stop coming closer to me.
And of course he kept walking until he was standing over my limp body that was lying across the desk.
He took my arm and forced me to sit up right. When he let go of my arm I raised my hand and slapped him across the face.
He looked stunned, but turned back to face me. There was a knock on the door and he grabbed me by the hair and flung me off the desk.
"Hold on a minute." He yelled at the door.
He dragged me to his office and flung me inside. "Don't make a sound." He told me and turned around to answer the door.
Snape's P.O.V.
I walk away from my office and towards the door. I open it up and came face to face with a wand. I look around the tip of the wand to see who the owner is. Lupin is holding the wand with Potter, Weasly, and Granger behind him. Their wands were out but not pointing at me.
"Can I help you four?" I say.
"Where is she Severus?" demands Lupin.
"What are you talking about? She went to bed already. I ask you not to disturb her."
"Oh my God!" exclaims Granger, staring past me.
I whirl around to see her staring at a bruised and bloody figure on its hands and knees, trying it's hardest to crawl out of my office.
My anger over takes me and I storm over to her and kick her in the ribs, making her fall back down.
Granger gasps from behind me and runs to Erica. I hold out my arm and Hermione runs into it.
"Get out, all of you. I need to finish some business."
"No." says Potter angrily.
"NOW!" I roar at them. I take a couple of steps closer to them and Weasly yells, "We'll get help Erica!"
They all get out and I lock the door behind them. I turn back to her and look angrily at her.
"You idiot! Now what? Do you want me to be kicked out of here?" I yell at her. She scoots farther backwards to avoid me.
"What do you think will happen now?" She backs up until she can't anymore. A look of pure terror is on her face. I get close to her and grab her by the ankle. I drag her to one of my wardrobes and shove her inside. I close it and step back.
"Silentio" I whisper, pointing my wand at the wardrobe. I lock it and go back to my office, knowing now, that if she screams no one will hear her.
'I guess I'll have to keep her here for a while, until I can force her to keep quiet about this. I'm really bad at memory charms...' I think, 'But I am pretty good at memory potions. But, I'd hate to use that on her.'
Another knock comes to the door and I get up to answer it. I open it up and find Dumbledore, Lupin, Weasly, Granger, Potter, and McGonagall. 'Shit' I think.
"Yes?" I ask
"Can we please talk to Ms. Glat?"
"I'm sorry Sir, but she went to bed already and asked to not to be disturbed."
"Liar!" yelled Potter.
"Now, now, Harry. Are you sure Severus?"
"Then explain the blood." Says Granger. I feel like smacking the little smart-ass bitch.
"She had a nose bleed. I cleaned it up for her and let her go to bed."
"Can you please send her to my office in the morning Severus?" asks Dumbledore.
"Yes sir." I say. They all turn away and walk up the stairs as I close the door.
'Time for a good night sleep. And I'll deal with this in the morning.' I think sleepily as I walk to my bedroom.
"Elg?" He whispered softly, his face an inch or so form mine. He had my arms pinned to the wall, so I couldn't struggle free.
