STORY TIME!
After Snape had slammed the door he stood outside it for a moment. When he heard the scuffing of her feet, letting him know that she was fine, he started to stalk over to the west wing. He could hardly believe the turn of events his life had taken. He had woken up today to the burning of his dark mark, which reminded him of the meeting with the dark lord he had. He assumed that there would be planning, betraying and torturing but what he did not guess would happen was Voldemort giving Hermione Granger to him to keep.
What had become of his life? He had an enormous headache that probably had no intention of leaving him. However he knew his mind was too busy to be able to handle sleep at this moment. Severus climbed up the stairs leading to the west wing. Instead of entering the giant mahogany doors that were at the end of the hallway, he entered a smaller door that lead into his private potions room, feeling content on spending his day working on potions until dinner.
Around 6:30, Hermione woke up to the sound of soft knocks on the door to her bedroom. Groggily, she opened her eyes. "Who is it?" She called out, not wanting to talk to Snape.
"It is I, Taffy! I am your personal house elf!" She heard a female voice squeak from the other side of the door.
"Oh, well come in!" Hermione said, as she yawned and got out of bed.
Hermione smiled as a tiny house elf with wide green eyes walked in, arms full of clothing. "Here you go miss! I have the clothing for you! It magically switches to the right size or the person wearing it so you don't have to worry!" The house elf squeaked. Taffy was wearing a pink dress and had deposited the pile of clothing on the bed.
"Now, what are you going to wear to dinner?" The house elf squeaked as it disappeared and then reappeared on the bed with a loud crack. Hermione chucked to herself at how the house elf got onto the bed. "I suggest something from the Wizarding world." The house elf said as she picked up a long blood red robe. Hermione noticed a couple of pairs of jeans and t-shirts scattered among the robes, dresses and skirts. She pulled the red cloak out of Taffy's hand and held it up. It was beautiful, and it even had a hood to it. Hermione smiled, thinking of how it was actually Gryffindor red.
"How about this dress?" The house elf asked as it held up a green dress. "You would look beautiful in it."
"I'm not going to dinner." Hermione said, frowning as she placed the cloak on the bed along with the rest of her clothing.
"What?" the house elf squeaked, eyes growing wide. "But… you have to go! Master Severus will be so angry if you do not attend!"
"Well, I really don't care what Master Severus will be." Hermione seethed turning around, feeling anger rising but not wanting to lash out at the poor house elf.
"Please miss! He isn't that bad. Besides the cooks have been working all day. It'd be a shame if their food was wasted." Hermione sighed and turn around to look at the little elf. "I don't want to eat dinner. I'm sorry."
A knocking at the door interrupted the scene and Hermione watched as Horloge entered the room and bowed, "Dinner is served."
"I'm not hungry," Hermione replied as she sat down on her bed and turned away from the two house elves as she felt the prickle of tears in her eyes.
She heard the audible gasp from Horloge. "but… but miss! He will be so angry! Why don't you just."
"I'M NOT HUNGRY!" Hermione yelled.
"Yes of course…" the elf said as he backed out of the room.
Severus started the decent down the West wing staircase at 6:55. That gave him a 5 minutes until dinner so he wouldn't have to wait too long. He had been brewing potions all day and stopped at 6 o clock so he could take a shower and dress in his customary black robes. Usually he would have worn something a little more casual, but with the presence of Miss Granger in the house he felt he needed the privacy of his black attire.
Once he was at the landing he went to the left and entered the hall that led him to the dining room. Molly and Lucian were already in the room setting up the table for dinner. Severus sat down at this end in a swirl of black. He rests his head in his hand as he looked at the two elves, aware of their gazes towards him.
"May I help you?" Severus hissed at the two servants.
Molly's eyes grew large as she turned around and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about…"
"Have you considered that this girl could break the spell?" Lucian interrupted. Molly huffed under her breathe "So much for being subtle about it."
Snape snorted and glared at Lucian. "Granger? I would think not. She's very annoying. I can hardly bear standing in the same room with her for a long period of time. How could she break the spell."
"Well… Maybe if you gave her a chance…" Molly trailed off.
"Good God no. I would never want that bushy hair annoying Gryffindor know-it-all around me." Severus hissed as he stared into the fire place.
"Yes, of course, sorry making a suggestion," Lucian said sarcastically. "It's just she's the only girl that's been here since Li-"
"SHUT UP LUCIAN!" Severus roared.
"No! I have been stuck like this for a long time and I will not let you ruin the only chance you have! The dark lord's rein is coming to an end. Give her a chance!" The house elf hissed with hands on his hips.
Severus growled as he looked at the house elf with daggers in his eyes.
"Please sir, try to control you're temper." Molly said with wide eyes.
Snape turned and looked at the clock hanging over the fireplace. It was 7:10. Where was she? He did not appreciate her being late. He specifically told her 7:00 and he knew how punctional she was in school. "Where is she? I told her to be done at 7:00, Snape said aloud to his servants.
"Try to be patient sir, the girl has lost her parents and her freedom all in one day." Molly whispered in hopes that his temper would go down.
The door creaked open and Severus eyes slid over to the door expeting to see Granger come through the door. However to his displeasure Horlogre walked through the door.
"Where is she?" Snape asked the house elf growing inpatient.
"Well.. you see… she… uh… She's not coming."
There was a moment of silence.
"What?" Snape hissed as he stood up and stalked out of the room at a fast past.
"Oh no." Molly whispered as Horloge, Lucian and herself dashed from the room and tried to catch up with the angry potions master.
He glided up the steps at an incredible pace, so fast that the house elves had to apparte to catch up with him. "Please, try to control your temper!" one of the house elves asked, however the advice fell to deaf ears. When he reached her door he banged upon it.
"I thought I told you to come down for dinner." Snape hissed.
"I'M NOT HUNGRY!" Hermione shouted back.
"Miss Granger, you will come down and eat with me or else I will come in there and get you." The potion Master threatened.
"I'd like to see you try." Hermione challenged.
"Sir, please at least try to be a gentlemen?" Horloge said, pulling on Snapes cloak to get his attention.
"But she is being so difficult." Snape hissed as he glared at Horloge.
"Gently, gently." Molly pleaded.
Snape let out a loud huff as he turned back to the door. "Please Granger, come down to dinner. You don't want to go into shock." Snape said trying to give her reasons to leave the room.
"No thank you." Hermione sniffed from the other side of the door as she sat down on the bed. She didn't understand why he was trying so hard for her to eat dinner with him. What did he poison the food? Trying to kill her like how he killed… how he killed Dumbledore.
"Granger, you can not stay in there forever you stupid Gryffindor brat."
"Yes I can." Hermione retorted back with determination in her voice.
"Fine go ahead and starve." Snape hissed as he turned away from the door with his cloaks billowing out behind him. He leaned down so he could look all the servants in the face. "If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all." He growled as he stood up and left the 3 house elves standing infront of her door.
"Lucian you stand watch and inform me if anything changes." Horloge ordered as he apparted out of sight.
"Yes sir." Lucian said in a mocking tone.
"Oh dear." Molly whispered, as she too apparated.
Lucian sighed and then started to pace the area in front of Hermione's door.
"Hey, Ron." Harry said, glancing up as his bestfriend sauntered in the room and plopped down on the couch across form Harry in the living room of Grimmauld Place. Harry had been looking at his Marauders Map and thinking about the war that was looming in the future. There was suppose to be a Order meeting sometime within the hour, as they were waiting for everyone in the order to arrive.
"Do you have any idea what this urgent meeting is about? And better yet, why we were allowed to come?" Ron asked as he watched Harry fold up his map.
"No, but I'm even more worried since they wanted us to come. Have you seen Hermione?" Harry asked, his eye brows furrowed.
"Nope." Ron said as he grabbed opened up a package of bertie bot every flavor beans he had in his pocket. "Speaking of Hermione." Ron said through a mouthful of jelly beans. "I've decided I'm going to make her my girl."
Harry chocked on saliva as he stared at his ginger friend. "W-what?" he squeaked.
"Well, I've been thinking. I need a girl, and she's beautiful. The most beautiful in Hogwarts I would say. You just never notice cause she's always got her head in a book. However, I plan to get her to be a good little housewife. Molly can teach her how to be a good wife. Hermione's a fast learner! It'll be perfect." Ron finished with a grin.
Harry was, to say the least, shocked and a little annoyed. "Ron I don't think Hermione would like that. She is very pretty but she would never want to stay home and be stay at home mom, like Molly is." Harry said.
"Please, Hermione is always reading those fairytale books where the prince comes in and sweeps the women off her feet."
"Yes, but those are just for fun. Besides she reads books where the women figts back and they have an equal share in the fighting and the-"
"Harry, please! There are no fairy tales where the women can fend for herself." Ron said with a chuckle.
"Ron I-"
"Boys, the meeting is starting." Kingsley said as he walked into the room.
"But sir, Hermione isn't here yet." Harry said.
"We know. Hermione is what the meeting is about." Kingsley said in a grave voice.
"What?" Ron and Harry said in worried tones.
"Just come in and take your seats." Kingsley replied as he turned around and entered the kitchen.
Harry bit his lip nervously as he quickly made his way into the kitchen and sat next to Lupin. Ron followed suit and sat on the other side of Harry.
Kingsley stood up at the end of the table. "We are called here today to discuss a matter of grave concern. It has come to our attention the home of Hermione Granger has been invaded by death eaters earlier this day. Hermione has been taken and she is currently held hostage by one of the death eaters."
"WHAT? WHO?" Ron yelled as he slammed his hands down on the table.
"Severus Snape." Kingsley replied, his gaze falling to rest on the table.
"I'LL KILL HIM! THAT BASTARD! HOW DARE HE TAKE HERMIONE! I SWEAR TO GOD IF HE-"
"RON! SIT DOWN!" Molly yelled at her son.
Ron glared at his mother and sat down. "Now, there isn't much we can do about the matter. We do not know where Snape lives. It seems his mother left him a secret estate that the Prince family used to own. It's undetectable. We can assume that she will be used during the war to try and get Harry." Harry felt a pang of guilt in his stomache. It was all his fault hermione was taken.
"For now though, you boys will have to continue as best you can without Hermione's help." Kingsley gave a sad smile towards the two young boys.
Harry was worried. He didn't know how he could possibly find all the horcruxes without Hermione. Sure Ron was great, but Hermione was the real brains of the operation.
"We have to save her!" Ron said, he was only seeing red. His future wife was in the graps of that slime ball! He would kill Snape when he saw him!
"There is nothing we can do. Good luck boys." Kingsley said with a sad smile. "Meeting adjourned." He said and then apparetaed out of the house, leaving the order and the two teenageboys staring in his place, in deep thought. They lost one of the most important members of their trio.
