Chapter 15 The Loneliest Guy

"Tonks? Did you recognize me? When I came to your door?"

"Not at first, no… but eventually."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Tonks shrugged, "Why didn't you?"

"I wasn't sure if you remembered. It was over ten years ago."

"Sarah Reeves. Slytnerin." Tonks squinted at her, "He liked you."

"What?"

"He said," Tonks put on her best Snape voice, "That girl isn't as stupid as the rest."

Sarah giggled.

"It was as close to a compliment as anyone could get, from him."

Sarah nodded, knowing it was true. "Do you remember the day you showed up; Jared's cauldron overflowed and you vanished it. The Professor was very upset with you."

"I remember."

"You were both skilled Legilimens. I always wondered what was said in that awkward moment of silence."

Tonks laughed again. "He was right. You are smart. I didn't think anyone noticed.."

"I-"

Tonks shook her head, "I reminded him that shit happens. I am very accident prone myself. I told him forgiveness didn't make him any less of a man."

Sarah nodded, "One more question?"

"Go ahead."

"What did Kingsley give you after the Will Reading?"

Tonks reached into her pocket and pulled out a gold band, dropping it in the younger witch's hand. Sarah jumped as it heated up and burned her palm.

"It's charmed."

"He charmed it?"

"Yes." Tonks rolled her eyes. "To my touch; to my skin."

"Why?"

"He was very intent on proving his loyalty."

"Did you ever doubt him?"

"Yes."

"So he charmed your wedding bands?"

"No. Just his. As he said, I was the one who needed reassurance."

"Are there any other effects?"

Tonks picked up the ring and slid it on, over her own wedding ring. "Just the standard penis decapitation, if he cheated."

Sarah gasped, "Wow."

"When a man goes to those lengths to prove his devotion, you marry him." Tonks giggled, "He asked me ten times before I finally said yes."

"Ten times?"

Tonks smiled, "More or less."

"Why did you wait so long. You loved him."

"I did… but love and trust are two very different things."

"You didn't trust him?"

"I didn't trust myself... how could I trust him?"

"Was he unfaithful?"

Tonks shook her head "No. No." She figgetted with the rings, "There was one incident, but I may have overreacted."

Flashback

Serverus paced the small room. The witch had been talking for over an hour. He was tired and needed to go home. Dora was waiting for him. He was late, very late.

"Ms Winters, I understand you're dilemma. As I have said earlier, I will brew the potency potion for you."

Fawn Winters was a very attractive women. Her long blonde hair fell flawlessly down to her back. Her skin was porcelain, eyes blue as the sky. The skin hugging dress she wore, left little to the imagination.

"Professor Snape, if I may.. " She strolled over to him, "My husband is a very busy man. He is hardly ever home. Perhaps," She scraped her nails down his chest, "the reason I am not pregnant is the lack of intimacy."

Severus grabbed her hands, stopping her. "Ms Winters, I am flattered, but my heart belongs to another."

She smiled at him, "I don't want your heart, Severus." Fawn cupped him through his pants, "I want something much more valuable."

Severus grabbed her hand again, pulling it away. She tighten her grip on his cock, stroking him as he pryed her off. "Get off me."

She chuckled, "Its not very often that I'm turned away. Perhaps you need more convincing." Fawn wandlessly binded him to the wall. She dropped to her knees, palming his clothed cock. "You're so big Severus. I bet you taste delicious." She pressed a kiss against him.

Severus wiggled against the binds. He didn't want this, but his body betrayed him. He was a man and his hard dick was proving it. "Stop this. Get away from me."

Fawn unzipped his pants and reached inside. She pulled out his dick and stroked it. "I'm impressed Severus. I've heard the rumors, but I never believed. I guess I was wrong."

"Let me go. I don't want you."

"But your dick does." She stroked harder.

The door to the room blew apart. Tonks stood behind the flying pieces. Anger flashed in her eyes. Her face was red, her hair burned the same shade. "Get your filthy hands off him."

Fawn sputtered, turning to face the pissed off witch. "What the hell?"

"I said, get the fuck away from him."

"Piss off bitch. Get your own man."

Tonks waved her wand, tossing Fawn across the room. "That is my man." She stomped to where Fawn coward in the corner, "Get out. If I ever see you near him again.." She looked down into her eyes, "You will regret ever touching, what is mine."

Fawn nodded and ran for the door.

Tonks turned her attention to Severus. He was still binded, dick hanging out of his pants. "So this is why you are late? This is why I sat around waiting for you?"

Severus wiggled again, "Dora, please. I didn't. I swear."

She walked over to him, looking deep into his eyes. They pleaded with her. Begged her. She shook it off. "You said, you weren't like him. You said, you would never hurt me."

He thrashed, "Dora, listen. Please. I didn't do anything. She binded me. I didn't."

Tonks looked down at his erect cock. "You didn't seem to mind."

"Dora! I'm a man. I can't control that, but I would never. I will never. Please!"

She laughed, "You would have…. If I hadn't showed up… you would have." She turned, walking away from him. "Why did I believe you? Your all the same."

Panic rushed through the Potion Master's vein. "Dora, don't you dare. Don't fucking-" he pulled against the binds that held him. They ripped at his clothes, tearing into his skin, "I didn't fight death to lose you to this." Blood seeped from his chest and arms. "Dora!"

Tonks whimpered, "You're just like him. No. Your worse."

Severus inched closer, ignoring the pain, "Look at me! Say it to my face."

She turned, gasping at the blood that pooled around him, "Severus! What have you done!" Tonks vanished the binds, catching him as he stumbled to her. "What we're you thinking? Severus!"

He wrapped his arms around her, "What wouldn't I do to be in your arms? What wouldn't I do for you?" He shivered, cold was setting in, "Please Dora. Tell me how to make you see me. Trust me."

She shook him as he passed out, lumped against her. "Severus! Severus, please!" Tonks fell to her knees, bringing him down with her, "Severus, I'm sorry. Please."
