Chapter 3: The Visitor
Unknown to both Severus and Hermione, someone had been outside the Potions room this whole time. He had heard the whole thing. He had come back to ask Snape a question when he heard someone talking. He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Snape say "We kissed Hermione." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His teacher and Hermione Granger had kissed. He stayed quiet but stayed near the door to listen.
He decided to peak in the room when they had stopped talking. When he looked he saw Snape walking over to Hermione. Snape kneeled down in front of Hermione and started talking again. This time he couldn't hear what Snape was saying. All of a sudden he saw Snape lean over and kiss Hermione. He was sure that she would slap Snape and leave but she didn't she just kissed Snape back. Just then he dropped his wand. Shit.
Snape and Hermione's heads both shot towards the door. The boy picked up his wand, took off and ran into the closest room to avoid being caught. Snape got up and walked to the door. He looked down both ends of the corridor but didn't see anyone. When he turned around Hermione was right behind him.
"I think I better go. People might start to wonder where I am. I'll talk to you tomorrow." As Hermione left she was trying to figure out what had just happened. She was risking everything, her future, her education, and Snape's job for feelings she wasn't even sure about. She went from hating him, to sleeping with him while drunk, to kissing him voluntarily, to having a relationship with him. Her life had changed more in the past two weeks than it had in the past 17 years.
The boy that had been watching them, watched her walk down the corridor. As she rounded the corner, he emerged from the classroom he was hidden in. He followed her for a while but took a shortcut to beat her to her room. He leaned against her door and waited for her to come around the corner.
"What are you doing here?" She said trying to get past him. He stopped her and pushed her against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?" She tried to push him off but he was too strong. He pushed her head to the side and licked her neck.
"Get the fuck off me."
"Ah ah ah. You don't want to do that." She was about to kick him in his groin but stopped when he said that.
"Why the hell not?"
"Because. I know your secret." Hermione tried to look confused. But she was shocked. It hadn't even been a whole day and someone had already found out.
"What are you talking about?"
"I know you're screwing Snape. I heard your whole conversation just now. In the Potions room."
"What do you want? Just leave me alone."
"I don't think so. You see, if Snape's getting some, I want some too."
"Never. Why the hell would I even touch you?"
"Either that or I can tell the whole school about your new boyfriend. Think about it." With that he let her go and walked off smirking.
"You can't prove it. No one will believe you." She yelled after him. When he was gone she went into her room and sat down on her bed. What the fuck did I get myself into? Damn Dumbledore. If he hadn't invited us to that stupid Christmas party I never would have gotten drunk and slept with Severus. But then again, he said that these feelings were always here. Why does everything have to be fucking complicated?
She sighed half in frustration half in relief that the day was pretty much over. She hated to admit it but Severus was right. She did have feelings for him. She had no idea where they came from. Perhaps he was right again. Perhaps they had always been there but seeing as he was her teacher she just never wanted to admit it. She wasn't even sure she wanted to admit it now.
It didn't matter what she felt now because the whole thing was about to come falling down. She was being blackmailed. She didn't know what to do. Should she talk to Severus? He was risking more than she was. He could go to jail if anyone found out about them.
She decided not to tell Severus. This was her problem and she would figure out how to deal with it. Luckily for her, the boy left her alone for a while. Well he would still make gestures around other people to show her that he hadn't forgotten.
Hermione had started spending more time with Severus. Slowly she had started to like him. If she hadn't already been in a relationship with him she would have developed a crush on him. She started to enjoy their time together. He was actually an easy person to talk to and they had a similar sense of humor. They would talk and get to know each other. She started going to his classroom more and more, but she always made sure that no one had followed her and she always shut the door.
When Ron and Harry noticed that she was gone more often than usual, she simply told them she was working on an extra credit project that took up most of her time. One night when she was returning to her room, he was there.
"What do you want?"
"Well have you thought about my offer? Or do I have to show the whole school these?" He handed her a stack of paper. When she looked at them, they were pictures… of her. Not just of her, Severus was with her too. And they were kissing.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"I wouldn't? You better make up your mind by this time tomorrow." He started to leave but turned around to say, "Oh and you can keep those. I have copies." Then he left.
Hermione decided to ignore him, thinking that he wouldn't dare do that to Severus. The next night she said good-night to Severus and headed back to her rooms. She was relieved that he wasn't there. She looked around to make sure he wasn't there and went into her room. She knew he would chicken out.
Severus was walking around the school on his rounds thinking about the past few weeks. He had changed. Even Dumbledore said that he seemed happy. This didn't mean that he let up on his students. No he was just as horrible to them as ever. He decided to stroll down the hall that Hermione's room was in just to "say hi."
Hermione set her stuff down on her bed and decided to jump in the bath. She undressed and put her robe on as the tub filled with different scented waters. She thought she heard something out in her room so she walked out and looked around. She saw a figure standing in the corner by the door. She tried her hardest not to look scared.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I told you that you had until tonight to decide. So what do you choose?"
"What if I choose neither?"
"Well either you sleep with me. Or you sleep with me. It's not that hard." He walked up to her and pushed her against the wall. He pinned her arms up with one hand and pinned her legs with his own. She couldn't move. She tried to scream but he pressed his lips against hers. She bit his lip.
"You little bitch. You want it rough, do you?" He slapped her across the face. Hermione fought back her tears. She wasn't going to give him what he wanted. He took his free hand and rubbed it across her chest. He slid her robe open and took a breast in his hand.
"I see why Snape shagged you. He's got good taste."
"HELP!" Hermione managed to scream before he slapped her again.
Severus had turned the corner to Hermione's hall when he heard a scream come from her room. Hermione. He ran to her room but the door was locked.
"Alohamora." The door unlocked and he ran in. He saw a boy pinning Hermione to the wall with his hand inside her robe. He immediately ran over and punched the boy. Hermione fell into his arms. He set her down on the floor and walked over to the boy. It was then that he got to see the boy's face for the first time. It was Draco Malfoy!
