Chapter 8: Severus' reaction
Early the next morning, Severus awoke first due to movement from Hermione. Severus watched her move and then smiled to himself. He then looked outside into the night and saw the sky turning to light. He knew it was about 6:15in the morning. Severus then quietly slipped out of bed and he began to get dressed in his robes.
Hermione awoke from Severus slipping out of bed. She then watched Severus with his shirt off. His back was towards her and she noticed a lot of scars on his back. She would have to ask him about that later. Today, she knew it was going to be a big day because she would need all her strength to possibly keep him back. She was not too sure of what he will do to her father, but she knows that it must not be good. The only way to find out is that she would have to get through the day to see what he will do. Hermione continued to watch Severus change into his white linen shirt and button it up. Then she watched him put on his long formfitting jacket; and finally, he pulled up his trousers and buttoned them. Severus turned around and saw that Hermione was watching him.
Hermione was caught and she turned a bright shade of pink and hid her face.
Severus saw the moment of her embarassment and he crept up on her playfully. Then he went around quietly to where he was positioned behind her.
Hermione had her head under the covers and then realized it was very quiet. She then slowly took the covers off of her head and then peeked over the remaining covers and saw that he was gone.
Severus then ripped the covers off of Hermione and yelled, "RRRAAAAAAAAAA!"
Hermione then screamed bloody murder while Severus laughed his ass off.
When Hermione came to her stable self, she then started swatting at Severus saying, " YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR THAT! I WILL GET YOU BACK FOR IT, I DON'T CARE! I WILL FIND A WAY TO GET YOU BACK!"
Severus then got a few swats on him before he caught her wrists and then he pinned her on the bed. He looked into her eyes with ragged breaths.
Hermione's breathing was rapid as she looked into his eyes. She was completely helpless against him now.
"So, how are you going to get me back when I have you pinned on the bed. You are completely helpless. You are at my mercy." Severus told her while his breathing went back to normal.
Hermione then came back to her senses and realized the position she was in. Then, the memory came back to her and she started to panic.
Severus realized the paniced look in her eyes and immediately pulled her off her back and into her arms. "No, it's ok. I thought he would do that position to you. I won't, I won't. Calm down- I will leave you to get dressed, unless you want me in the room with you."
Hermione looked up at him like he were a leper.
"I will take that as a no." Severus then began to leave when Hermione spoke.
"Severus, you can stay. I trust you." Hermione told him.
Severus stopped in his tracks and could not believe his ears. He then turned to look at her with disbelief written across his facial features.
"You can stay." Hermione said again.
Severus then stood there with his hands down at his sides. Hermione then went to her side of the wardrobe and pulled out her school robes and got dressed.
Severus then noticed a few marks on her body as she dressed. Then, when Hermione finished, she then met up with Severus on the otherside of the room.
"Ready?" Severus asked uncrossing his arms.
"Yes, let's go." Hermione then lead the way with Severus following her. They walked out to the main entrance of the castle.
"Ok, get snuggled in," Severus told her as he opened his robes for Hermione to step in.
Hermione walked up to Severus and wrapped her arms around his waist. Then said when she grabbed his belt, " Ready."
Severus then apparated to Hermione's parents house.
At the Granger Residence...
Hermione and Severus appeared behind a tall bush in the yard of the Granger residence. Hermione looked at the house then at Severus.
"Well are you ready to face them." Hermione asked.
"Yes." Severus replied as he took Hermione's hand in his and walked towards the front door.
"Severus, do not punch my father this time." Hermione began to chuckle as she remembered what happened on her wedding day.
Severus then smiled and then he knocked on the door.
The door opened and a woman stood there in an apron, wiping her hands with a cloth stared at them.
"Hi, Mum. Where's dad?" Hermione asked.
"He's home, he's in the living room."Natalie replied. Then she motioned for them to come in.
Hermione and Severus then walked into the living room and saw him.
Severus saw him and he then started to fill up with rage. Then Hermione's mother came in behind them with some snacks and refreshments. Hermione then sat down on the sofa and Severus sat down next to her. He sat between Hermione and her father.
"Well, Hermione. Did you marry him?" Brian asked cockily.
"Yes, I did. I am FUCKING happy to be married to him." Hermione spat at him.
Oh shit, here we go. Severus thought. He just sat back and watched the shit hit the fan.
"You are happy to be married to some one as old as I am." Brian spatted back.
"Yeah? That is because I had no choice to marry him because the minister of magic paired us together." Hermione said loudly.
Brian then rose up from his seat and gave Hermione the meanest look. Hermione recognized that look and started to get scared.
Severus then stood up abruptly and pushed brian back down in his seat. " My turn to speak. I am letting Hermione finish school and I will pay for her to go to the university to come back out whatever her goal is to become. She has not been touched by me yet and I will not touch her ever- against her will!" Severus said.
Brian looked at Severus with shock written across his face. Does he know? Did Hermione tell him what I've done to her since she matured? Brian thought to himself.
The look on Brian's face told Severus that what Hermione told him about what her father did to her was true and that he was possibly feeling the guilt and pressure that he was caught in the cookie jar.
"If I may, Brian, I would like to have a word with you in the backyard, PRIVATELY." Severus said through gritted teeth. He could not wait to get him outside.
Holy shit. What is Severus doing?Hermione thought to herself as she watched Severus and her father get up and walk towards the back door to the back yard.
"Mum, can I gather my things? I am going to move out." Hermione asked.
"Sure honey. I will be but an owl away. I am grateful that you are married and I do not mind it being Professor Snape. He seems to be a good man." Natalie commented.
As Hermione was upstairs packing the last of her things together, she heard yelling coming from under her window.
Hermione rushed to the window and opened it taken aback of the scene that was before her.
Brian and Severus was trying to put one another in a headlock and cursing at one another. Then, Severus got his foot behind Brians and buckled him while throwing him forward on his face.
"Oh, no!" Hermione exclaimed as she ran out of her room and ran down to the backyard to break them up. When she got outside into her backyard, she could hear what Severus was saying.
"If I ever even get word of you touching my wife I swear I will use the Avada Kedavra curse on you and you will never live another day." Severus screamed in Brian's face with one hand gripped on his shirt and the other hand with his wand.
"Severus, let him go." Hermione commanded.
Severus looked up at her. Rage completely written in his facial features. He looked at Brian for a brief moment, then said, "You are fucking lucky that I listen to my woman. I treat her good and I spoil her very bad. I take better care of her than you ever will in your lifetime. Father's like you make me sick.- Hermione, come. We are leaving." Severus said as he threw Brian on the floor and walked over to her and turned her into the direction he was walking.
"Severus, I need you to shrink my things. " Hermione said in a notifying voice.
"Ok, where are they?"
"Right here." Hermione said as she showed him with her hand.
Severus took out his wand and muttered something in latin and then the luggage shrank down. Then he took them in his hand and put them in his robes.
Severus then ushered Hermione out the door and pulled her close to him and then quickly apparated back to Hogwarts.
Hogwarts...
"Severus, I am sorry about my father, sometimes he can be an asshole." Hermione said in an apoligizing tone.
"My dear, do not worry. I was going to beat him up anyways for doing that to you. If you didn't stop me from doing that, I would be in Azkaban right now for illegal use of magic in front of muggles, and sentenced to death for using one of the 3 unforgivable curses on a muggle." Severus said to her as he took her hand in his and walked up towards the castle.
"Glad that I stopped you then. However, I was completely afraid to get involved and pull you off of him." Hermione commented.
"I am thankful. All you have to do is yell for me, I would not want you involved because I could hurt you or you would get hurt by the other guy and then I would go really nuts." Severus told her. " Huh? I wonder what is going on here?" Severus said as he saw a group of students in the yard chanting and cheering.
"Probably another fight." Hermione answered as though she was sick of them and she was, especially if it was between Draco and Dean.
"No, I think it is worse." Severus saw the blood on the gravel and he ran to see what it was.
