Chapter 2
Five months before
Hermione Apparated and rushed inside a small street opposite Flourish and Blotts. It bared the name of Hogs street. As she made her way towards the end of the byway, she bumped into a black dressed figure. She raised her head to apologise and when she met the characteristic black eyes of the new Hogwarts Headmaster she made a few steps backward.
The small street was next to Diagon Alley. It was a dark and narrow passage where two houses opposite each other had their roofs leaning above one another in such fashion it was impossible for someone looking up to see what time of the day it actually was. The only way would have consisted in leaning dangerously through one of the windows and look in the direction of Diagon Alley. If the inhabitant was lucky, he would see the light coming from Diagon Alley and would assume that it was currently daytime.
Before she had the time to do anything else, the man began to speak.
"Well, well, well Miss Granger. What a surprise. What are you doing here?" he had spoken in his deep baritone voice.
The pauses between his words making her shiver in fear of what he was going to say or do next. His wand was now pointed towards her heart, beating at a tremendous pace both in fear of what he would do and of what had happened to her a few hours before.
"Maybe I could bring you to the Death Eaters and Voldemort. What would they do of you? Use you, Crucio you or maybe even kill you." he continued in the same slow and monotone voice.
Before he could continue his monologue, she began to speak.
"I wanted to speak to you about something of a rather important matter. It concerns Harry, more precise-" before she could finish, he interrupted her with a hint of mock and disdain in his voice
"What about him?". What she did next startled him. She grabbed her wand from her back pockets and pointed it towards his chest.
"You are going to listen to me now Severus Snape and don't you try playing dumb with me."
She waited for a sign from the man opposite her and when he didn't respond anything, she pressed her wand more firmly against his chest and began talking.
"Dumbledore told me last year a few days before his death everything I had to know to help Harry vanquish Voldemort. He told me whose side you were on. He told me why. He told also told me that if at any point I needed help with something, anything actually I could come to you and you would do all what you could to help. I- "she began saying before being interrupted by her former teacher.
"Miss Granger, I don't think it is very prudent for the both of us to speak about such matter here. If you would kindly take my arm I would Apparate us to my private quarters where we could talk more freely".
He had lowered his wand but it was still in his hand, ready to use it if needed. She too lowered her wand and took his arm prudently before feeling the now familiar pull of the side-along Apparition. When she felt the floor materialised under her feet a few seconds later she released of his arm and sat on one of the chairs next to the hardwood desk. He sat opposite in the big headmaster seat and waved his wand above the desk clearing it of any parchment, used quills or empty ink pots leaving only a small pot of black ink in the corner of the desk and a black leather covered journal under it. He crossed his legs and looked at her waiting for her to begin. That's when he remarked a bruise on her left cheek and her black bordered eye. Her clothes were badly ripped and he could see her skin through the ripped jeans
"What happened Miss Granger?! Why are your clothes ripped and what happened to your face" He tried to sound the less menacing he could but she could sense worry in the deep voice
"Well headmaster…".
FLASHBACK
"Take it off Harry, you see it is making you more aggressive" Hermione pleaded while trying to get the locket from Harry's neck.
"Shut up will you, you Mudblood"
He had said those words with such hatred, that she now knew the person in front of her wasn't Harry. He would never have used that word. Before she could understand what had happened, she felt a Crucio curse hit her and where, who she thought was Harry, stood a few seconds before, was now replaced with the slender figure of Draco Malfoy.
He casted a Divesto to her body, which was twisting due to the pain caused by the Crucio Curse. He replaced the Crucio by a Body Bind curse before beginning by touching her cheek he had done it almost gently but when Hermione tried to move her head away, he roughly grabbed her hair and spun her around. He unzipped his trousers, pulled his cock out of them and before Hermione had the time to move away, he had spread her legs open and shoved himself roughly into her.
"Take it Mudblood, take it all. This is what filthy Mudbloods are used for." He came shortly after and Apparated away leaving Hermione naked on the forest floor. She had found her clothes and wand shortly after. She dressed herself quickly before casting a Desillusion charm and Apparate away to Hogs street.
END OF FLASHBACK
"So, I Apparated in Hogs street hoping to find someone to help me find the real Harry. Although I truly think that he is a prisoner from Voldemort."
She had said her whole story looking at her shoes. And had only raised her head when she mentioned her apparition to Hogs street. The Headmaster now looked at her apologetically. He knew he had to do something about it. He had promised Dumbledore who made him do an Unbreakable Vow to help Harry, Ron and/or Hermione if they needed and he could in fact help them without revealing who he truly was.
"Come with me I am going to give you a few potions. One contraceptive while the other ones will help your bruises go away faster and the effect of the Cruciato curse being lessened. I think that you are aware that the Cruciato Curse can leave forever lasting damages if not healed properly. I'll also give you a new set of clothes as yours have been ruined by earlier encounter with Mr. Malfoy and I don't think you can wander in your searches in Hogwarts Robes" the mention of Draco Malfoy sent shivers down her spine as she remembered what the boy had done to her body.
Snape rose from the chair and went around the desk giving his hand to Hermione trying to communicate in his eyes all the kindness he could. He was so shocked that someone as kind as Hermione would have to go through this all. She had been forced by Dumbledore to help and accompany Harry in his quest of destroying the Horcruxes and killing Voldemort.
He knew she would have preferred a calm and quite school year so she could study even more but he hadn't left the choice. It was either that or she would have been expelled, her wand snapped and banned from the magical world. He hated it. He hated that she was forced into this. He hated that she was now in his office injured because of what she had to do to stay in the Wizarding World. She took his hand and followed him.
He waved his wand in front of a painting and a door appeared, it was a small room. A bed was in the middle of it. What surprised Hermione the most was the brightness of the room. It was not dark as she would have expected it to be but the stones were visible and thoroughly cleaned so the original beige the color was visible. A large window overlooking the lake was behind the bed the one-way glass making it impossible from anyone from outside the castle to see who was inside. She saw a small door on her left and supposed it was a small bathroom. Snape was standing next to a small cabinet taking potions out of it briefly looking at the labels to be sure of what he was taking out of the cupboard. He handed her three vials and she drank them bottoms up one after the other.
"You can stay here for tonight. Opposite the door is a bathroom. My private chambers are on the other side of the office. If you need me at anytime of the night just tap the handle with your wand and I shall immediately come." After he gestured for the door but Hermione was quicker and she grabbed his sleeve.
"Thank you, Severus Goodnight".
"Good night, Miss Granger" he had replied
"Hermione please. I am not your student anymore" she said
"Good night Hermione then. And please, do call me Severus."
She went to the small bathroom washed herself and took the night gown on the chair opposite the stall before sliding in her bed and dozing off into a dreamless sleep.
