Chapter Eight - Caught
Cynthia's P.O.V.
I pulled quickly from his lips and stared down at him. He lay as still as a statue, the only thing moving was his eyes, which were locked on mine. Obviously he was in as much shock as me. He quickly rose from the bed. He looked down and moved to a hook on the wall with a cloak on it. He took the cloak off of the hook and put it on himself. Then he swiftly walked to the side of the bed where I was and stood over me. I knew he was behind me but too scared to move.
"Turn around." He said sharply, sending chills up my spine. My muscles refused to move. He grabbed my upper arm and easily moved me around to face him. I looked up into his angry face.
"What do you think you are doing in my private wards? Especially this time at night?" He snapped.
"I... uh..." I try to talk, but when you're scared out of your wits you have a trouble talking. I don't know why I was so afraid of him. Maybe because he had the same hating eyes of my Father. Maybe because he was as tall as my Father. Around 6'4 or so. I guess tall men just scared me. I guess that's why Hagrid scares me too.
"You will tell me why you are here and you will tell me now." He said angrily, only making me more scared.
Again I tried to say something, but it just doesn't work.
"Well, we'll just see what you think when we go to the headmaster." He wraps a long hand around my elbow. He puts pressure onto his grip, making the cuts on my arm sting with pain. He pulls me off the bed and I scream. My memories from my past take over me.
"Please don't hurt me! Please! I didn't mean to! Please! I didn't mean to break the cup! Please Daddy! Don't hurt me." I sink my nails into the man's hand, causing him to drop me to the floor. I put my hands over my head and pulls my knees to my chest.
"Don't kill me like you did Carla!" I screamed.
"Wha- what are you talking about Ms Janis?" Asked the man above me.
"God! Help me!" I screamed louder. "Don't hurt me!"
"Why would I hurt you?" He asked calmly.
"Please Daddy! I didn't mean to!" I cried, tears streaming down my face.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Cynthia Janis hid her face from him and continued to cry and yell at him to not hurt her. He didn't understand what was happening. She thought he was going to hurt her. He might be a bit cruel sometimes, but he would never hurt someone.
He kneeled down next to her on the ground, where she sat shaking and crying.
"Ms. Janis, please tell me what is wrong." He said softly, trying to get her to calm down a bit.
"I'm sorry. Just don't hurt me." She cried, obviously thinking he was still someone else. Her Father, she had said.
"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you." He said. He reached a hand out and touched her arm. She pulled her arm tighter to herself and starts sobbing.
"Dad, it's a joke. I'm not a witch. Please don't hurt me." She cried out.
"I am not your father Cynthia. I am your professor. I'm not going to hurt you." He could see that this was no use. That she was not hearing what he was saying. She was going to continue sitting there and moaning. He got up from the floor and went to the fireplace. He grabbed a bit of floo powder and threw it into the fire.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Dumbledore's office
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk, debating with the former headmaster's on the wall when he heard a small 'pop' from behind him in the fireplace. Albus turned around to see Severus Snape's head floating in the fire.
"Yes Severus?" he asked kindly.
"You need to come down here quick. Ms. Janis has seemed to woken from her werewolf coma and, well, just come and see." He finished quickly.
Albus stood up quickly, turned to the portraits on the walls and said, "I will be back shortly." He turned to the fireplace and stepped inside of it.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Snape's bedroom
Albus Dumbledore stepped out of the fireplace and brushed off his robes.
"What is it Severus?" He asked urgently. Severus turned around sharply and looked at the spot where Cynthia Janis had just been a couple seconds before.
"Cynthia Janis was sitting there." He said confused. Then he heard sniffling right where she had been.
"It looks like young Cynthia has become old enough to discover her power." Said Dumbledore wisely.
"What do you mean?" Asked Severus, stepping a bit closer to the sniffling.
"Ms. Janis is an invisimorphis. Meaning she can become invisible when ever she wants to."
Severus nodded and went over to the noise made by the invisible girl. He lifted a hand and tried to feel where she was. Finally his hand landed on her shoulder.
"NO!!!" She screamed, and Severus no longer felt her shoulder. She most have pulled away from his reach.
Severus stood back up faced Albus. "She was telling me not to hurt her. And she was also saying something about her father. Obviously something goes on at her home life."
Albus nodded and took out his wand. He pointed at the spot that the noise was coming from and muttered something under his breath. Cynthia came back to view and she looked up at them both in turn. She stood up, tried to balance herself and ran straight to Severus and started crying into his robes. Severus didn't know what to do so he awkwardly put his arms around her in a hug.
"Albus, what do I do?" He said softly.
"Just comfort her Severus, it's really not that hard." Albus stood next to him and watched Cynthia's shaking body.
"Yes Sir. It's just a bit unusual for a student to actually hug me." He said in an odd way. The small girl continued to cry in his arms.
"She needs help. I suppose we should take her to Poppy."
"No, I think if she'd be better off here, where no one can disturb her."
Dumbledore seemed to think about it for a couple seconds before nodding his head and going back to the fire. "But I will have Poppy come down here tommorow to check up on her." Before Serverus had a chance to answer Dumbledore had gone through the fire to his office.
After about 5 more minutes of letting Cynthia cry upon him, he lifted her easily and set her on his bed. He did not get into the bed with her, but instead whipped up a chair out of thin air and sat on that, watching her cries become quieter and eventually she fell asleep.
