"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" Severus bellowed as he stepped into the astronomy tower.
Abby and Graham both jerked their heads in Severus' direction, Abby froze, while Graham had a huge smirk on his face.
Severus stalked furiously over toward them, ripping Graham up by his robes.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT COMING NEAR MY DAUGHTER", Severus bellowed and then threw Graham five feet, into the nearest wall.
"D-dad, wait..", Abby started to speak but trailed off, as Severus turned his menacing stare at her.
"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK", Severus screamed, bending down and yanking Abby up by the front of her robes.
Abby was dangling a foot off the ground, Severus had pulled her up so their faces met.
"To think I actually believed you", he seethed in a low growl.
"I-I-I never lied to you about Graham", Abby stuttered fearfully. Abby couldn't remember the last time Severus was this angry, and he had never been this angry at her before.
Severus' eyes were pooled as black as they had ever been, his rage showed through, as his eyes bored in on Abby. His lip curled up into a sneer as he began to bite back his response.
"That's all you've been doing these last six months, is lying. You made me feel like a horrible father for not believing you, but now I see I was right in my assumptions all along."
"N-nno I never lied about Graham. H-he's the one behind the weird things that keep h-happening and has been s-seeking me out. H-he said h-he would stop them if I slept with h-him. I-I tried to tell you." Abby never thought she could stutter so much in three short sentences.
"SHUT UP! I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT!" Severus screamed as he slammed Abby into the wall directly behind her. Abby winced as her head hit the stone, she could feel warm blood starting to trickle down by her ear. Severus remained hanging on to the front of Abby's robes, holding her up against the wall.
"Severus!" Albus bellowed as him, Draco, Ron, and Harry entered the tower. "What is going on!"
"Mind your own business for once", Severus sneered.
"This is my business", Albus said sternly. "One of my students is laying injured on the floor", Albus said nodding toward Graham, who was curled up in a ball, with his arms over his head. "And another, which happens to be my granddaughter, you have pressed up against the wall, who is also injured", Albus said fiercely as he saw the blood dripping by Abby's ear.
"You granddaughter was about to have a nice FUCK! With that piece of shit!" Severus said, spit flying from his mouth.
"Lower Abby, NOW", Albus said firmly.
Severus turned toward Abby, with hatred written all over his face. "You disgust me." He slammed Abby to the floor, not caring when she whimpered, and swept out of the room.
"Harry, get down to Severus' chambers before he does. Hermione and Eileen are down there, let them know what's going on, I need you three to get Severus' side of the story", Albus said as he rushed over to Abby. "Ron, Draco, take Mr. Greyback to Poppy."
Draco flicked his wand, levitating Graham, as him, Harry, and Ron left the tower.
"Abby", Albus said softly as he knelt down beside her. Abby laid on the floor, in fetal position, sobbing into her arms. Albus started to stroke Abby's arm.
"N-no, don't touch me", Abby said breathlessly, pulling away from Albus, sitting up against the wall.
"Let me take you to Poppy, Abby", Albus said, but not moving to touch her.
"No, I'm fine. I will heal myself."
Albus watched Abby's distressed face, "Tell me what happened."
Abby closed her eyes, and started to reveal the last month or so with the encounters with Graham. Albus' face turned hard and angry the more Abby spoke.
"Abigail, how could you be so stupid?! You should have gone to someone!"
"I tried to tell dad, but he refused to listen", Abby said in a pleading voice.
"That's not an excuse, you should have come to me or Hermione, or anyone! You should have never resorted to this", Albus said angrily, gesturing toward Abby's ruffled clothing.
Abby's eyes started to well up with tears, but then she stopped and narrowed her eyes. She stood and pushed passed Albus, racing out of the room. Albus placed his hands on his tired face, he hadn't meant to become angry at Abby. He actually wasn't angry with her, he was angry at himself for letting this get so far out of control.
"I Cannot believe you, Severus! How could you treat your own child that way?!" Hermione bellowed, as Severus' paced his sitting room, with a scowl on his face.
"Abby was about to have sex with that boy! And I was starting to believe her about Greyback!"
Hermione scowled and pulled herself off the couch, "You don't know what happened Severus! All you know is what you walked in on!"
Eileen butted in, "Hermione sit, calm down. This isn't good for you or the baby."
"No matter what you saw Severus, that doesn't give you the right to harm your own child!" Hermione bellowed, red faced.
"I'm not arguing with you about this! And, I didn't mean to hurt Abby, my anger got the best of me", Severus seethed and then placed his hands on his face, in an attempt to calm himself. "Please, listen to my mother and sit down. This isn't good for you."
Eileen pulled Hermione down softly and put an arm around her shoulder. Harry walked over with tea, laced with a calming drought, and gave it to Hermione.
Albus silently entered Severus' chambers, his face was solemn.
"Albus, what's wrong", Eileen asked, concerned.
Albus retold the story that Abby had told him. He also informed them of his reaction to the story and Abby's reaction to him.
"Albus! How could you", Eileen said furious. "Damn it, how could Abby think this was the only way to make things better!"
"That was my first reaction, causing my outburst. Harry can I request for you to find Abby, she really needs to see Poppy. Her head wound was still bleeding when she stalked out."
Eileen scowled at Severus, "You made her bleed!"
"I'll go right now, Albus", Harry said leaving the room.
"I didn't mean to, my anger took over", Severus said, obviously stressed.
"I can't believe you!" Hermione bellowed and stood up. She immediately started to sway, Severus rushed to her side.
"Hermione, what's wrong", Severus said panicked, gently pushing Hermione back to the couch.
"Harry put a calming drought in her tea, she's fine", Eileen said, scowling at Severus.
"Severus you're an idiot", Hermione said softly, still gripping onto his robes.
"I know, love. Let the drought take affect and sleep."
Hermione mustered up the best glare she could and feel into a deep, calm sleep. Severus picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. As Severus returned from his bedroom, Harry walked back into the chambers.
"Where's Abby, is she alright?" Eileen asked, concerned.
"Abby refused to go see Poppy, since Graham was already in the infirmary. Obviously, she also refused to come down here. With a little persuasion and help from Matty, she agreed to go to my chambers. Abby and Matty are waiting on Poppy to floo into my sitting room, so she can be checked out", Harry replied.
"You left Abby and Matty alone in your chambers! After she was just trying to have sex with Greyback", Severus hissed.
"Ginny is waiting with them!" Harry snapped, losing his temper.
"Did Abby appear to be ok, physically?" Eileen asked.
Harry nodded, "Yes. Apparently Abby had run into Matty as she entered Gryffindor tower. He started healing and taking care of her. Abby should be just fine, physically."
Albus sighed, and stood up, "Why don't we all go to bed, and let things settle down. I will deal with this tomorrow. Harry, please make Abby stay in your chambers tonight, I don't think she should be alone. Severus, I suggest you cool down and think things through."
Albus reached out, to take Eileen's hand. Eileen looked from Albus to Severus and scowled. She stood and pushed pass both of them, leaving Severus' chambers.
"This is going to be a long process", Albus said as he followed Eileen and Harry out of Severus' chambers.
Hermione woke up with a moan. Something was leaned up against her side, wet lips were on her collarbone, and fingers were rubbing on her clit.
"Severus?" Hermione gasped as she opened her eyes. She met Severus' glinting black eyes and let out another moan when he slightly bit down on her neck. Hermione reached up and laced her hands through Severus' hair. "I'm still angry with you", she hissed in pleasure.
"I know, I'm still angry at myself. But, I figured I could give you a few things to make you feel better", Severus said as he drug his tongue down to Hermione's breast and lightly nibbled on her nipple. Hermione bit her lip, repressing another moan.
"Are you still angry, now?" Severus asked as he started to suck on her breast.
Hermione continued to bite her lip and nodded.
Severus kissed his way back up to Hermione's neck, and started sucking and biting the sensitive spot behind her ear. "What about now?"
"Yes", she gasped out.
Hermione's body had become very sensitive and responsive with the pregnancy. Severus was well aware of that and was taking full advantage of it. Severus turned Hermione on her side and moved to hover behind her. He bent down and kissed the nap of her neck, as he placed himself at her entrance.
"What about now?" He asked as he rubbed his tip over her entrance and tweaked her right nipple with two fingers.
Hermione let out a moan and bucked her hips back. Severus smiled, that was the response he was waiting for.
Hermione opened her eyes to Severus' smiling face.
"Good morning", he said softly and kissed her forehead.
"Should have known you were going to ambush me last night, after being drugged with a calming drought. And the fact that my body is ten times more responsive then ever", Hermione said faking anger, as a smile showed through.
"Sorry, you just looked completely irresistible when I came to bed last night."
Hermione just raised an eyebrow.
"So, are you still angry with me?" Severus asked slowly.
"Yes, but it's nothing we can't handle. I just can't believe you let your anger take you that far, without knowing the full story."
Severus simply nodded, trying to refrain from another fight.
"You should speak with Abby, Severus. Get this figured out."
"I can't deal with her right now. It will end badly if I do, it has to wait", Severus said as he laid his head on Hermione's shoulder.
Hermione sighed, "Alright, but I'm finding her at some point today to speak with her."
Severus nodded, "Do you want to go to breakfast in the Great Hall?"
"Yes, I'm starving after last night."
Severus and Hermione walked hand in hand to the great hall. Severus pulled Hermione's chair out for her, before he sat down.
"Good morning, I see everyone is in better spirits this morning", Albus said tiredly.
"Good morning, Albus", Severus said.
"I just thought you two should know that there are rumors flying around the castle about Abby and Graham last night, and also about you Severus. They seem to have the accurate story of what happened, and of course there are a few stories with false happenings."
Severus closed his eyes, he hadn't thought about the castle finding out.
Just then the great hall entrance opened, Matty and Abby walked in. Everyone drew completely silent and stared at Abby. Matty grabbed Abby's hand, flashing her a smile and walked them over to the Gryffindor table.
The entire staff watched as most of the students in Gryffindor shifted so there were no more seats available. Matty hissed at a few of the students but Abby pulled away and headed back toward the entrance and left. Matty followed.
"Severus, I'm going to go talk to Abby now. I will see you back in our chambers later", Hermione said standing. Severus nodded and watched her leave.
Hermione walked out of the great hall and heard Abby and Matty near the entrance to the kitchen.
"Abby please, just come into the kitchens with me. You need to eat", Matty pleaded.
"No, I just want to get away from all these people."
"We can, just get something to eat first."
"Why are you still talking to me, after what I was about to do last night", Abby said as she leaned her back onto the wall.
"You told me the only reason you even thought about touching Graham was to make all those ridiculous events stop and everyone would leave you alone. Besides, last night you had just watched your best friend make out with your moron ex-boyfriend. I figured you needed a little leeway.
Abby smiled, but then her face faltered, "Why do you believe me, when pretty much everyone else doesn't."
Matty put a hand on the left side of Abby's face and leaned in, "Because you said you would never lie to me."
Abby's breath hitched, "I haven't and I won't........Why do you like me so much?"
"I don't know, I can't explain it", he whispered.
"I don't think I can handle dating anyone right now. It's just...too much", Abby breathed out.
"I can wait", Matty said with a smile.
Hermione decided now was the time to clear her throat and interrupt.
"Professor", Matty greeted with a goofy grin.
Hermione smiled at them, "Abby, why don't you go retrieve some food from the kitchen. Matty and I will wait here for you, then the both of you can accompany me to my old chambers."
Abby nodded and stumbled into the kitchen entrance.
"Matty, I want to talk to alone for a moment", Hermione said turning in his direction.
"Yes Professor, what is it?"
"You can call me Hermione, when we're not in the classroom or in the present of other students. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot of you from now on."
Matty smiled.
"Matty, I think your good for Abby. Both of your actions toward each other, just now, confirmed that for me. She needs you, especially with her father acting like a dunderhead. Abby responds to you and I know she likes you a lot, but I just want to make sure your intentions are...lets say "noble". I don't think Abby could handle another let down."
Matty's smiled upheld, "I can assure you, I only want the best for Abby. I know she has been through a great deal and I would never dream of hurting her. Abby's an amazing person, I just want to be with her and make feel happy again. If I have to wait forever for her to come around, I will."
Hermione smiled, "That's what I wanted to hear."
Hermione, Abby, and Matty spent all morning and lunch in Hermione's old chambers. After lunch, Matty and Abby went for a walk around the grounds and Hermione went back to hers and Severus' chambers.
When Hermione walked in, Severus and Albus were seated on the couch. Severus had a scowl etched on his face, Albus' face was neutral, but there was an unmistakable twinkle in his eyes. Eileen stood in front of the couch scowling at the two.
"You two better find a way to fix this! I will not stand for my grandchild trying to sleep with that scum, in order to get her life back to a semi-normal state!" Eileen raged on.
Talon flew in behind Hermione, landing on Eileen's shoulder. Eileen's face immediately calmed and she sighed.
"Ah, I was wondering where Talon was", Albus said softly, in a somewhat cheerful voice.
"He was in my chambers, with Me, Abby, and Matty", Hermione said, alerting the others to her presence.
"How is Abby doing?" Eileen said, starting to sit next to Albus. Albus put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into chest.
"She could be better, but she seems to be fairing alright. Matty is a big help, he refuses to leave her side."
"I'm glad she has someone outside of us. Seeing as half the time she can't count on all of us to be there for her", Eileen said, glaring at Severus and Albus.
Severus just looked away and Albus hung his head slightly.
"I will make it up to her, I'm just giving her some space", Albus said standing and pulling Eileen up. "Let's go spend sometime in my chambers."
Hermione watched them leave and then jumped as she turned back around. Severus was standing directly in front of her.
"I was hoping you would join me for dinner", Severus said, taking Hermione's hand and bringing it to his lips.
"Of course, we need to discuss some things."
"Well, I was hoping tonight could be about us", Severus said grabbing his and Hermione's cloak. "We will discuss Abby later."
"Where are we going?" Hermione asked as Severus put her cloak on her.
"A restaurant in muggle London. I thought we could have some privacy there."
Hermione smiled and let Severus escort her to the floo.
"When's your next appointment with Poppy?" Severus asked, after he ordered their drinks.
"In a few days. Poppy said my appointments are going to be more frequent, since I only have about two months left."
Severus smiled and then grinned.
"What", Hermione asked with a confused expression.
"Who would have ever thought I would fall in love with Hermione Granger, the Gryffindor know-it-all."
Hermione smiled and cocked an eyebrow, "Yes, I ask myself all the time how I feel in love with the snarky dungeon bat."
Severus laughed.
"You're in an awfully good mood. Are you drunk?" Hermione said suspiciously.
Severus laughed again, "No, I am certainly not drunk. I'm just excited that the baby is almost here. And, I get an evening alone with you."
"You know, your not completely off the hook for being a complete idiot last night."
"I know that of course, but I'm positive I can diminish your anger toward me", Severus said seductively, leaning forward.
Hermione couldn't help but grin.
After a pleasant dinner, Severus and Hermione returned to their chambers. Both were laid on the couch, cuddling, when a loud knock on the door disturbed them. Severus got up reluctantly and answered the door.
"Sorry to disturb you, but you and Hermione are needed in the great hall", Harry said with an odd expression.
"Has something else happened", Severus said sounding defeated.
Harry nodded and waited for Severus and Hermione to follow him.
The great hall was completely destroyed. House tables were flipped upside down, house banners and colors was strung out all over the floor. Part of the staff table had been set on fire and the ceiling was the darkest shade of black possible.
Hermione gasped and turned to Severus, his face was stone and completely void of emotion.
"Please keep your cool about this, Severus", Hermione pleaded.
Severus merely nodded and kept his mouth shut.
"If Abby's correct about Graham being behind these events, I would say he is the cause of this", Albus said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Again, we can't prove it", Draco added.
"It could have still been Abby, even if she has nothing to do with the other events. She's very angry at me and at you Albus", Severus added.
"Yes, I know", Albus said. "But, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone until I have evidence."
"Severus please, Abby isn't going to be able to take anymore. If you go off on her again she's going to break and do something drastic."
"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to leave her alone."
"I believe we are in for a long night, if we are to have this cleaned up by morning", Albus said sighing and flicking his wand to start the cleaning up process.
-Review please. What does everyone think of the story so far?
-So I bought the book Twilight about a week ago and read it, then saw the movie last night, I am hooked!! I Love it!!
