Chapter 10: Day's go by
It was a Monday morning and Hermione, Harry, and Ron was sitting in double potions doing their potion. Then, Severus came around and looked at Harry's potion.
"Tisk, tisk Potter. Your sleep potion is not cerullean blue, it is sky blue. You fail, pity." Severus said in his snarky tone.
"Well, sir. Can I come make it up?" Harry asked.
"No." Severus said flatly. "You may not." Then he glanced over at Hermione and picked up her vial. He turned it about and examined it, then he told her, " not bad, you get a B." He then set it back down in front of her and strided away to Draco.
A B? How did I get a B? I wonder what is up his ass today. I mean, he's been nice last week. Something has to be up. Hermione then looked at Harry who was glaring daggers at Severus and whisped. "Harry, can I borrow your invisibility cloak?"
"Sure, just return it when you are done." Harry whispered back.
"10 points from Gryffindor for talking in my class." Severus said, hearing them whisper.
"That asshole." Ron muttered to himself only so that Harry and Hermione could hear him and giggle under their breaths.
"Bottle your potions and get out!" Severus loudly said. Then he walked up to his desk and watch the children scurry out. Then Severus shook the dizziness out of his head and became fully aware that someone slipped something in his drink. Then he saw Hermione setting her potion on his desk and he called out, " Miss Granger, you stay."
Hermione sighed and stopped walking. She turned to walk back to him when he strided up to her, " Was I not acting like my self lately?"
Hermione saw that his eyes were half filled with rage and curiosity.
"Umm.. yes you kind of were.. you were very nice and all." Hermione replied thinking back.
"Hmm.. interesting." Severus scratched his head with his left hand and felt a ring on his finger. He looked down at it and then called,
"Miss Granger, do you know who I married?"
"Umm.." Hermione was hesitant and was also wondering if he had lost his mind.
"Miss Granger I must know." Severus said in almost a shout gripping her shoulders and shaking her.
"Umm.. me. You are married to me." Hermione answered immediately.
"..WHAT? HOW? WHA? WHEN? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" Severus yelled gripping her tighter.
"Today makes a week.. Please, Severus. You're hurting me." Hermione winced out as she could feel his grip bruising her through her robes.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? YOU ARE COMING WITH ME RIGHT NOW TO ALBUS AND WE WILL SORT THIS OUT. I WILL DIVORCE FROM YOU AND WE WILL MOVE ON AS ALWAYS. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM MARRIED TO A STUDENT AND OF ALL, A GRYFFINDOR." Severus yelled as he dragged her out of his classroom and down to Dumbledore's office.
Hermione felt embarrassed that her husband was dragging her behind him and cursing all the way to the spiral staircase. He then yelled the password and threw her on the spiral staircase as it came alive and went up.
Severus flung the door open with his free hand while dragging Hermione with his other.
"Severus is this really necessary?" Albus asked calmly.
"YES, YOU OLD BAT!" Severus exclaimed through his teeth as he pushed Hermione away from him. "YOU PUT SOMETHING IN MY DAMN DRINK AND I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS."
"It is a kindness potion, Severus. I want to see you happy. You will be visiting your parents soon, I believe Saturday." Albus reminded.
"Why?" Severus said through gritted teeth.
"It was your mother's request, Severus. She has told me that you have exceeded the maximum age of being a bachelor. She has pulled you out of your busy schedule to take Miss Granger over to your house and that you are not to leave until you consumate."
"WHAT?" They said in unison.
"I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH THAT MUDBLOOD! MY FATHER WILL NOT ALLOW IT AND I REFUSE TO TOUCH HER SEXUALLY ANYWAY." Severus screamed as he pointed behind him in Hermione's direction.
Hermione then felt unwanted because she was Muggleborn. Hermione felt hurt and then she spatted out of anger getting up in Severus's face. "TO LET YOU KNOW YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, I ENJOYED THE MOMENTS WE SPENT TOGETHER. SINCE THIS 'MUDBLOOD' IS NOW A BURDEN TO YOU, I WILL LEAVE AND GO ELSEWHERE BECAUSE I AM OFFICIALLY DISOWNED DUE TO YOU. I NOW HAVE NO HOME AND NO FUCKING MONEY. SO THE BEAUTIFUL RAISE YOU JUST GOT, YOU CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS.I AMGOING TO GO TO YOUR ROOM AND GET MY REMAINING THINGS AND I WILL BE OUT OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE YOU FUCKING SCHMUCK!" Hermione screamed the last line milimeters from his face and ran out of the office crying.
"That was really nice of you, Severus. Well, since she will not be living with you anymore, you can have the payraise this month. Starting now, you will go back down to your regular pay." Albus said.
"Fine." Severus spat while his arms were crossed and he was peering out the window. "I'll bet you ten galleons that Miss Granger lied about her being kicked out of her parents' house."
"Actually Severus, you should look at this letter that was written and signed by Brian and Natalie Granger." Albus said as he held up the paper in the air so that Severus could see.
Severus walked over to it and then snatched it with his rught hand and skimmed it. Damn. "So what am I to tell my father when I bring her home? What kind of wedding did I take part in?"
"You fell in the marriage law as well as she did. They used the Unbreakable Vow with vows you would come up with." Albus informedly stated.
"So I cannot file for a divorce.." Severus said as he was in deep thought. Ok, Severus think. What am I going to do about visiting my parents and Hermione. I just probably caused Hermione a lot of pain, how will I undo what I have just done?
"Severus, give her a few days. Then go and talk to her, if all else fails and you cannot get her to go with you by Thursday, come and see me." Albus offered.
"Ok, no more shit in my drink, ok?" Severus told him throwing in the curved deal.
"Deal." Albus put his hand out to shake.
Severus shook on it.
"Lemondrop?"
"No, Albus, you know I hate them things." Severus commented sarcastically.
Albus only nodded with a smile because he did know that Severus hated them, but it didn't hurt to offer.
Severus turned on his heel and strided out of the office with his robes billowing behind them.
As Severus approached his room, He saw Hermione come out of it and she pulled the door shut. Then she walked with her luggage down the other hall.
Damn. I think I will give her a few days. Severus then entered his room and he was happy that he did not have anymore classes.
Hermione walked down the hall, carrying her luggage and crying. She did not know that she was being followed by a handsome and spoiled little rich kid.
"Hermione, are you ok?" a familiar voice asked her.
Hermione recognized the voice almost immediately. She turned around to find out that it was Draco Malfoy.
"Draco, do me a favor." Hermione said calmly turning to face him.
"Do you want me to carry those? They look heavy." Draco offered.
"FUCK OFF! I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR 'MUDBLOOD' COMMENTS TODAY." Hermione spatted at him angrily and turned on her heel and strided away.
"No, I am not going to do them, I just want to know what's wrong. Ginny saw Professor Snape dragging you down the corridor. I am concerned, too. Do you want to talk? Ginny will be in the Great Hall, I would like to take you there." Draco offered.
"I guess I could." Hermione took out her wand and shrunk her luggage and stuffed them in her pocket.
Draco and Hermione then walked down to the Great Hall where Ginny was waiting like Draco said.
"Hermione, what happened? I saw Professor Snape dragging you."
"He's an ass hole. Well, I am not happy with Severus no more. I am going to drop his classes and say to hell with being a MediWitch. To hell with asking him for an apprenticeship with him because I know that he will say no. Do you want to know why? Because I am a FUCKING MUDBLOOD." Hermione screamed.
"Ssshh." Draco and Ginny said in unison.
"I don't care anymore. I am going up to my prefect room and get resettled. I hope he rots in hell." Hermione then walked out of the Great Hall and passed Professor Snape.
Severus walked by Hermione and did not see her. He saw Draco and called, "Draco, can I have a word in private?"
"Sure, Professor." Draco answered as he walked behind his head of house out of the Great Hall and into an empty room.
"What's up?" Draco asked.
"I need you to keep an eye on Hermione because her and I are fighting really bad." Severus asked.
"I can tell, sir. The way you dragged her down the corridors all the way to Dumbledore's office. The whole school saw and they are talking.."
"Let them talk. If she goes anywhere, I want to know. I want to know all the activities." Severus informed Draco.
"I will do it, sir." Draco said in agreement.
"Thanks." Severus opened the door and exited the room. Draco followed suit. Then he went back to the Great Hall.
"Ginny, how are you doing with your loss. I am very sorry for your loss as you already know."
"Draco, it's ok. You have told me about it over 4 times. Plus I am thankful that you will accompany me while I pay my respects to Dean."
"It is no problem. You just let me know what you need and I will help out like I told you that I would." Draco told Ginny as he followed her out of the Great Hall and outside to where a limo was waiting to pick them up. Draco and Ginny entered the limo and was driven to the cemetery where the burial took place.
Hermione sat up in her room and she was finally alone. She had the class withdrawl form in her hand and she began to write for the advanced potions class and signed it. All she needed was HIS signature. She was totally disgusted that she needed to get it, so instead, she just sent the withdrawl form by owl to Dumbledore. Then she curled up on her bed and stuck her nose into herAdvanced Runestext and began to take notes on the next chapter as she read.
Tuesday...
Hermione went to all of her classes with Draco in it and when it was time to go to potions after transfiguration, she walked up to her room and studied. Draco saw her head towards her room and he scurried down to Severus.
"Professor, Hermione is ditching, sir." Draco told Severus as he entered the classroom before Severus shut the door.
"Thank you." Severus muttered. "Now take your seat before I am forced to take off points." Severus scolded.
"Yes sir." Draco said and he hurried to his seat.
"Ok, dunderheads, you know the drill now begin." Severus said irritatedly as he tapped the chalkboard with his wand and the directions appeared on the board.
Severus looked at the empty chair between Harry and Ron and sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. Even though she was an annoying and insuferable know-it-all, he missed her questions and the constant answers to all his questions.
Draco could look at Severus and tell that he missed Hermione. He also knew that Severus admired Hermione because she was smart and bright, for a mudblood. He knew that Severuswas really impressed with it.He did not know why at the time, but it must have been something that complied with his past that made him admire Hermione the way he did. Draco also understood that if Severus told Hermione how he felt, that his reputation would be smashed. Draco then got an assumption and would go to Dumbledore about it.
Draco gathered the ingredients while Crabbe and Goyle prepared the work area. Draco then began to chop the ingredients whild Crabbe poured the right amount of water into the cauldron. Goyle was writing down the directions on a piece of parchment. They began to work on the potion and when they finished they bottled the potion.
"I will take it up," Draco spatted at Crabbe and Goyle while snatching the vial from them.
"Sir, we are done, can we leave early? There are only a few minutes left in class." Draco asked in a whisper.
"Yes, let me write you alla pass." Severus muttered as he opened the drawer and pulled out a piece of parchment. Severus took his quill and dipped it into ink and began to write their names and gave them permission to go whereever they needed to go. Then he signed his name uniquely and handed it to Draco. "Don't forget to report."
"I won't, she seems to be a little calm, though. Do you know her route?" Draco asked.
"Yes, I can get it from Minerva," Severus answered as he handed the parchment to Draco.
"Ok." Draco said. Then, he turned on his heel and walked away, Crabbe and Goyle followed behind him.
Severus then walked down to the Great Hall and took his seat next to Minerva and pulled a steak on his plate. Then he began to cut up the steak and eat.
"Severus, my boy. I need to talk to you when you get the chance."
Severus said nothing but he glanced up at him to acknowledge he heard him. Then he went back to his meal.
