I was rudely woken up this morning. Snape pulled me out of bed with such a strength I didn't even realize. He dragged me to the living room where people, well not really people so much as Voldemort and his brainless goonies, were apparently waiting for me.
Snape shoved me to my knees and I knew better than to cry out. I just bowed my head and waited.
"Severus it has come to my attention that young Malfoy would like to take this mess off your hands. If that is what you desire," Voldemort said and I could feel his stare on me.
"As much as I appreciate his eagerness to help I find myself having too much fun with this one," Snape said viciously. "I seemed to have gained her trust."
I almost stood up and hit him. I didn't but I felt hurt. It was all a game to him. There was laughter from everyone around the room and I felt myself about to cry.
"Very well I am always glad to help a loyal servant," Voldemort said with laughter tinting his words. "I will allow you to keep her as a toy."
A toy? I am just a toy to people? There was an expectant pause which I wasn't sure what to do. Suddenly someone grabbed me roughly by the hair and dragged me to meet Snape's face.
"Go clean yourself up and wait for me in my room," Snape said with a cold glare. I couldn't see any recognition of anything that had happen over the past month. He was really going to rape me. He kissed me and on instinct I bit his lip. He gave me a punch that sent me down to my knees. "GO!" Snape roared. I left feeling myself begin to panic. My parents were most likely dead. Snape would have told Voldemort where to find them. I played right into their little game. How could I have been so foolish as to think that Snape would ever be anything more than the evil murderer Harry always said he was?
I walked into the bathroom and ran a bath. I washed myself and slowly dried myself. Then I walked out of the bathroom and went and sat on Snape's bed. The pain in my cheek was still sharp and I felt a small trickled of blood rolling off and onto my hands. I wiped the blood away and didn't even think to cry. I was too angry and afraid. This entire time he was just gaining my trust. What do you expect? He's been doing it for seventeen years.
He tricked everyone. He tricked Dumbledore, he tricked the Ministry, he tricked me. That hurt the most. I opened up to him and he betrayed me.
Minutes ticked by at a slow pace. I heard footsteps and I panicked. Snape opened the door and Malfoy, Lucius, walked in looking slightly disdainful. He examined me with a slight smile.
"My son would very much like her as a toy," Malfoy said with a sneer. I tried not to flinch at the way they were talking about my impending rape like it were Quidditch scores.
"I am having too much fun with this one though. Mind games seem to work best with her," Snape said coldly.
"For an entire month you have been playing mind games with her?" Malfoy asked incredulously. "I would have thought you wouldn't let this one out of your bed. Mudblood or not I bet that mouth has other uses than spiteful remarks."
I repressed a shudder although a dull flush was creeping back onto my cheeks. I could not believe they were talking about this like it was nothing much.
Snape walked behind me and I tensed. He held me tightly to my body and I was suddenly afraid. I was wondering if I should tell them that I'm not much into threesomes. I decided not to because now I'm not so sure that Snape would think twice before hitting me.
His breath was hot on my neck and I felt another wave of panic shoot through me. Surely he wouldn't do anything in front on Malfoy.
"I can see why my son might want her for company," Malfoy remarked. "So what do you have her do?"
"Whatever I feel like. If I don't feel like fucking with her mind I lock her in her room," Snape said and ran his finger from my cheek and down to my neck. "She's been good though. I let her out today and she didn't even bother to run. She does just as I tell her to. I have her in the palm of my hand." Snape ran his hand down to my chest. I felt myself tense as he began to unbutton my shirt. "I think Malfoy I am in the mood. If you come back in another hour or so I think we'll go out to dinner tonight."
Malfoy smirked and nodded. He left with a wave of his hand. Snape held onto me until he heard the door slam shut. His hand was still down my shirt and I was almost positive I felt a hardness pressed into me. I stayed stock still until Snape finally removed his hand and pushed my away. I was confused.
I sat on the bed and looked at him. "Well come on. Not in the mood to fuck with my mind anymore? Well then lets go! You want me so bad you come over here and take me. What's the matter? Voldemort got your tongue?" I spat spitefully. Snape stared at me for a long moment.
"Miss Granger are you really that daft?" Snape snarled. I paused.
"What?" I finally asked not knowing what else to say.
"It was an act. I have no intention in touching you. Although your striptease yesterday did peak my interest, I have no need nor want to rape you. If I did I surely would not waste a month trying to gain your trust back," Snape said with a frown.
"But you were-" I began again.
"Acting. I'm not exactly going to wink at you and give you any signals," Snape said angrily. "Now go clean up. Did I hurt you with that punch?" Snape asked me peering at my cheek. I angrily slapped his hand away. " The house-elves will make sure you get anything you need."
I stopped dead in my tracks. "House-elves?" I asked.
"Yes now leave my room," Snape said shoving me out. Well then. I was still not sure if it was an act. He was a good actor. Managing to allude the most powerful wizard I know surely counts for something. This is all still an act.
I went into my room and sat on the bed. Snape came in minutes later.
"Get out," he said snapping his fingers at me.
"Excuse me?" I asked sitting up and pushing the wet cloth off of my face.
"I'm moving your room," Snape said grabbing me by the arm and leading me down the stairs to the yellow room.
"Why?" I asked. This room was directly connected to another bedroom.
"I really would not have my sex slave sleeping too far away from me," Snape said angrily.
"I'm not your sex slave," I snapped back.
"Well they don't know that do they? Merlin forbid they think I enjoy your company," Snape said shoving me into the room.
"Wait is this your room?" I asked walking through the ark that separated the rooms.
"Yes," Snape said grabbing my arm and pulling me back into my room.
"I though you slept upstairs," I said frowning.
"No that is my spare room," Snape said opening the closet door. "These are your clothes, bathroom is across the hall, kitchen to your left. I hope you don't mind a snorer."
I rolled my eyes. This day just keeps on getting BETTER!
"No I hope you don't mind that I am petrified of the dark and most likely will need the light on," I said looking innocent.
Snape gave me a dirty look and pushed past me. "Lola! Lola!"
"Who's Lola?" I asked curiously.
"My house elf," Snape said turning back to me.
"Why haven't I seen her in the entire month I've been here?" I asked frowning.
"I told her that if she was spotted she would get a pair of socks faster than a snitch," Snape said looking angry. "Lola! I promise you can come out of hiding. Take your brother with you."
A house elf walked over cautiously.
"Get over here and stop your dawdling," Snape snarled pointing into my room. "This is your new master. You are to serve her as if she were kin."
The house elf surveyed me with distaste. I smiled and she looked affronted. She turned back to Snape and bowed.
"Where is your brother?" Snape spat watching me try and make friends with the elf.
"Sleeping, sir," Lola said quietly looking down.
"Sage!" Snape roared. A second later another elf that looked scared the death walked into view. "When I call you I want you at my feet within a minute!"
"Stop yelling at them," I snapped. Three shocked faces turned to me.
"Oh house elves too? Well aren't we just lucky you were brought here to us," Snape said sarcastically. "There is no need for your uniform. Please place it in the basket. I will arrange for clothes to be given to you within the hour. I will allow you outside but so help me Merlin if I find you trying to hop the fence I will be most displeased. Stay out of my study. Stay out of my bedroom," Snape pointed at the one to my left. "Stay out of my old room. And if you try and open the wall in the living room I will most definitely send you to the Malfoy's dressed back in your uniform. Try and go back to sleep," Snape said swiftly and began to walk from the room.
"Wont they know?" I asked biting my bottom lip in embarrassment at what I was about to ask him.
"Know what?" Snape asked in his dull voice.
"That you didn't rape me," I answered watching as he digested what I just said. "I mean I can do it myself if you feel like going out and buying me a dildo-"
"What?" Snape roared blushing.
"You don't know what they are?" I asked smirking slightly.
"Of course I know what they are!" Snape said still angry and even more embarrassed.
"Well-" I began again.
"I do not wish to speak about this now," Snape said smoothly overriding me. "I will be going out tonight. I am sure that Lola and Sage will help you with whatever you need. Speaking of which, Lola get Granger a salve for her face."
Snape turned and left. I looked at the elves with a comforting smile on my face.
"Hello I'm Hermione," I said smiling. Lola still looked really angry that I was stuck with her. However Sage bent down to bow but Lola grabbed him up with a sharp tug.
"You are disgracing that Prince family name!" Lola whispered furiously. Sage looked at his feet but stayed bowing.
"I don't need you to bow," I said quickly. Lola gave me a withering glance but Sage looked at me with big eyes. "Really. In fact do you want to…talk?"
Lola gave a furious sniff and pulled Sage from the room. I sighed and sat back in my new bed. Much more comfortable than that other one. Sweet damn!
I looked through the closet of old robes and smiled. Some of them looked to be as old as I was. They smelled like old people. Which I guess wasn't a bad thing.
'Treat her like she is kin.'
That is what Snape said. So I have free reign of the house. Maybe I should tidy it a bit or so…
