Eyes of the Beholder

Hermione screamed as the spell wore off and she was released from the bed.She started to cry as she got of the bed, that was now covered in blood and sweat; knowing exactly whose blood it was and how it came to be made her want to hide in a corner and cry.

Grabbing her robe she ran out of her room, knowing it was way after midnight she silently praying that she wouldn't run into a teacher. She continued to cry as she ran, not really knowing where she was going, but she needed an escape from what just happened. She needed to go somewhere that still held a special bond with her, someplace the others wouldn't find her until morning.

As she turned the corner she slammed into someone hard. She fell to the ground, looking up to see a man in a dark cloak, remembering what just happened to her, she blacked out right there on the floor.

Snape looked down at the now unconscious Miss Granger lying on the floor trembling. He sighed, tonight was going to be a very busy night, with a dark rival first, and now this. It was going to be another night without sleep. Snape bent down and picked up Hermione with little difficulty, she was a lot lighter then half of the student body of Slytherin, who were always found in all sorts of states after dueling with the older students. Pulling Hermione closer to him as his strides got longer he could tell she was in quite a state of shock. Shaking his head he opened the door to the infirmary.

"Poppy I have another student for you" Snape bellowed into what it looked like to be an empty room except for the hospital beds that were all around the room.

"Severus why must you yell like that it's late in the night; I don't want to have a headache for the rest of the morning." Poppy stated with a yawn. "Who did you bring for me tonight?"

Snape walked over to one of the beds and placed Hermione carefully on it, "The Head Girl was found wondering the halls in her night robe, she is in quite a shock and I don't understand why, hence the reason I brought her here." Snape said without any emotion turning to look at Madam Pompfrey, "That is what you do right, find out why these students get hurt all the time and to fix them?"

Madam Pompfrey nodded as pushed Severus out of the infirmary. "Go speak to Dumbledore about your rival I will take care of Miss Granger, if anything is horribly wrong I will inform Professor McGonagall who is her head of house, now out you go." Madam Pompfrey said as shut the door and locked it.

Severus made his way up to the headmaster's office, he had much to tell him, but something about the Granger girl was bothering him. He didn't understand why the head girl would be crying and leaving the safety of her room after curfew like that, it had been awhile since she had broken a rule and he knew she didn't want to lose that badge she wore with pride. Reaching the gargoyle outside of the headmaster office he spoke the password and went up the stairs.

"I've been waiting for you Severus my boy, I thought you would have been here by now, since I saw you apparate into Hogsmeade an hour ago" Dumbledore said as he offered Severus a lemon drop.

"Yes Headmaster I did arrive to the school about 30 minutes ago, but on my way here I found your Head Girl lying on the floor and I had to bring her to the infirmary, unless you think I should have left her there, then I would have loved to say I did what you asked" Severus replied as he pushed the lemon drops away from him with a disgusted look on his face.

"Well Severus that was a very noble thing you did, you could have just left her there, but deep down you know you wanted to do something right for a change" Dumbledore grin looking around his office for something sweet to nibble on.

"I didn't want her to be hurt even more in the hall then she already was, it wasn't noble of me I just didn't want the little miss innocent Head Girl to have her innocents taken away by someone she didn't want to" Snape said as black coffee appeared in front of him.

"Do you really think something like that would happen, Severus" Dumbledore asked looking a little worried "Someone in my school would do something so un manly?" Severus glared at the bubbling old fool.

"Do you know how many Death Eaters sons are in this school that have taken the dark mark tonight and the last three times I have been summoned?" Severus stood up and started to pace the room, "Too many to name Albus, plus I found out what Malfoy's task is Headmaster do you want to hear it?"

Dumbledore looked at Severus with concern, was the Head Girl in as much trouble as Severus made it should like, "Yes Severus tell me what his task it" Dumbledore replied while sitting down behind his desk. "His task to become a full fledge Death Eater is to kill Miss Granger" Severus said as he rubbed his head, he was going to need a headache potion before class along with a pepper up potion.

"Albus come to the infirmary quickly please, we have something to discuss" McGonagall's voice interrupted from the fireplace.

"I'll be right there Minerva" Albus replied as her head faded away. "Come Severus we might need your help, it sounds important." Albus got out of his chair and started walking down the stairs to the main floor, "Come along my boy we don't have all night, it is very important that we get down there soon."

Severus growled all he wanted to do right now is to go back down to his rooms and get some sleep before he had to teach classes tomorrow to a bunch of kids that didn't care about the art of potion making. Sighing he too made his way down to the main floor only a few footsteps behind the Headmaster as they made their way to the infirmary.

Dumbledore went though the doors first to make sure that everything was alright and Severus slowly followed his way in, remembering that this was his second time here tonight.

"Albus it's terrible, Miss Granger has locked her self away from everyone, she's awake but it seems like she has put herself into a locked down state that no can get though" Poppy said to Albus when he came though the door, "It's worse, she has internal bleeding in her abdomen, a few broken ribs, but that's not the worst of it," Poppy took a deep breath, "From what it looks like, she was either involved in some kind of sexual intercourse or she was raped, I am going with the rape scenario because of the tearing that has happened, if it was just intercourse she wouldn't be as ripped as she is at this current state."

McGonagall walked over to Albus, "She doesn't know who did it, and she won't say anything about the person as if she was blindfolded she won't tell me what he was wearing or smelled like, which is all I got out of her before she shut me out." McGonagall told the Headmaster, "I want to find this guy and send him to Azkaban."

Dumbledore looked over at Severus who was just watching the interaction between them, "I think I have a way for us to find out what happened, wouldn't you agree Severus."

Snape turned to look at Dumbledore, "And what would that be, if she won't use the pensive how will you get into her mind…. No I won't don it" Severus said with a stern voice, "I am not going into a seventeen year old girl's mind to find out what she did all day" Severus stocked off toward the potion's cabinet only to find it locked, "Poppy I want a pepper up potion NOW" Severus demanded.

Poppy made her way over to the cabinet when the Headmaster stopped her, "Not unless you agree to do it Severus, and I know how long it takes to brew a Pepper Up potion."

Severus glared at the Headmaster, "If you insist that I do this then fine I'll do it, but when we find this Bastard I don't want any part of sending him to Azkaban.

" Dumbledore nodded, "It's best to wait for her to fall asleep that way she can't fight you." With that Dumbledore made his way back to the door, "When you are done I want a pensive so that I too can see what happened."

Severus nodded and watched the Headmaster leave the room with McGonagall on his tail. "Do you want the potion now or right before you go in" Poppy asked looking at Hermione as she offered Snape the potion from her cabinets.

"Right now, Miss Granger will be asleep in no time" Severus said drinking up the potion in one sip.

He was right, twenty minutes later her eyes closed and Pompfrey tested her to make sure she was in a REM sleep and wouldn't wake up, she would think it was a dream that was really a nightmare about what happened. "She's all yours Severus"

Poppy yawned as she stretched, "Why don't you go to bed Poppy, I will be okay by myself don't worry and if anything happens I know how to page you." Severus said as he sat down on the chair placed by Hermione's bed.

"Legilimens" Snape entered her mind quietly, making sure she couldn't her or feel him. Images of the day ran though Hermione's head, beginning with the conversation with her father.

"Even though your mother is gone I will love you enough for both of us" John Granger told his daughter, kissing her forehead in reassurance. Hermione just nodded and her father left, holding back tears she sat down and waited for Ron and Harry to arrive. Snape groaned he new that this was going to be a long day. Next he saw the images of the conversation on the train. "It's Hermione not, Herm or 'Mione or anything like that." Hermione yelled at her two best friends." Snape chuckled even with her best friends she fought just like a Gryffindor. Snape tried to by pass the sorting ceremony already lived though that was a nightmare already. Finally the images of what he needed to see what he wanted to see began to unravel.

Hermione took off her school robes and began sifting though her pajama drawer; she had to find something that she could wear just in case she had to leave her room she wouldn't need to find a night robe. Pulling out a pair of sky blue trousers and button up shirt with short sleeves. After pulling on her trousers and buttoning up her shirt she went over to the picture of her mother. "Hello mom today was the first day of school and I had a great time. I got to do the sorting ceremony because Professor McGonagall has gotten the flu. Well anyway I think this year will be my favorite" Hermione laughed at that thought every year had been her favorite she couldn't just chose one. "Goodnight mom it's been great talking to you." Hermione kissed the picture and crawled into bed. "Nox"

He waited twenty minutes for Hermione to fall asleep before he made his way to the side of her bed. "Pieds et liés" the masked man whispered and waved his wand. Hermione's arm and legs spread as they were bound to the bed posts. Hermione's eyes popped open when at silky tie was placed over her mouth and tied to keep her from screaming.

"Your one lucky Mudblood you know that, girls would pay me for me to do this to them" the masked man whispered into her ear and he jumped on the bed. He started licking her ear and continued all the way down to the first button of her shirt.

"Let's see if the head girl is really as innocent as she claims to be." He began to unbutton her shirt slowly running his tongue down the opening in her shirt. Hermione started wiggling around trying to get away,

"Hold still Mudblood I don't want to hurt you too much" the figure smirked. He slowly made his way down the front of her pants, and into her panties.

"I must not be doing a good job your not even close to being ready for me let me help you with that" he said as he pulled his wand off and mumbled a spell Hermione couldn't hear.

Suddenly her clothes disappeared, Hermione screamed when she finally realized what the man was going to do. He licked his finger and made his way up the side of her left thigh. Hermione closed her eyes as he slow pushed the now dry finger into her. Tears started forming in her eyes as the pain increased, he was now twisting his finger in her then pulling it out and shoving it backing to.

Finally he pulled his finger out, "well I guess I'll be willing to let you have a little extra now" the dark figure said licking two of his fingers and repeating the process over again this time stretching her. Hermione cried out when he put two fingers in and started trusting. She turned her head to look away from what was happening, seeing the picture of her mother she turned away again. "Mom doesn't need to see this" Hermione thought.

"Now your ready for me, I wouldn't want to kill you with the first thrust." He said as he readied him self. Taking a deep breath he placed the very tip at her entrance, nodding his head to the mirror he pushed himself all the way in. Hermione's eyes were full of tears and she was screaming from the pain.

End Flashback

Hermione's eyes flew open and tears started running already, now she knew what happened, really did happen and it wasn't just a nightmare.
