Severus sat down inside his dining room and got having himself a couple of eggs and a cup of coffee for breakfast. While he was enjoying his breakfast he also did some reading as well. It had been a day since that woman arrived at his castle, it had also been a long time since he had a guest. But he didn't let it get to him at all, she was just like everyone else before her. As Severus took a sip from his coffee while reading his book, he heard someone clear their throat. Believing it to be Tippy or Lou, Severus slowly lowered his book from his face. To Severus great shock it was Hermione standing in the doorframe with a walking cane and Tippy holding her hand.
"Good morning." Hermione said quietly, trying to sound brave but there was just a hint of fear in her eyes. Severus studied her over, questioning to himself why she was even talking to him.
"Tippy gave her a cane for walking Tippy did." Tippy said happily as she helped Hermione inside the dining room.
"Morning." Severus said as he went back to read his book. To Severus disbelief he heard Hermione take a seat at the table. He slowly lowered his book again eyeing her with confusion. "Would you like breakfast?" Severus said trying to sound polite. Hermione eyed him with disbelief at his question, it took her a while to come back to reality.
"Um... sure." She said.
"Tippy, get this 'royal princess' her breakfast." Severus said as he went back to his reading.
"Its Hermione, it Hermione Granger. Not princess!" Hermione said with some anger in her voice, this surprised Severus as no one before would yell in anger at him. They normally just yell for help, scream in terror or plead to him to not harm them. But no one yelled at him, not like this. Severus just huffed and went back to reading as Tippy served Hermione some breakfast. Hermione nervously poked at her food, and she looked back at the beast.
"Um, what are... you doing to do... to me." Hermione nervously said but was trying to keep her ground.
"Good lord! Woman, I am trying to read!" Severus said as he lowered his book to face Hermione. "What did you ask me?" He said annoyed.
"I asked you what are you planning to do with me." Hermione said nervously looking at the monster that was seating just a few feet away from her.
"Once you are ready to travel, Tippy will take you back to your village." Severus replied. Hermione took a deep breath of relief at which Severus took note of. "Why?" He asked.
"What?" Hermione said.
"Why did you ask me that? What did you think I was going to do to you?" Severus glared as his voice raised.
"Um, nothing. It doesn't matter, just forgot it." Hermione said as she was about to eat.
"No! Tell hme!" Severus slammed his paw on the table. "You thought what? That I was going to do what!" He roared.
"I thought you... I thought you." Hermione said getting a little scared of him.
"All the bloody same!" Severus roared as he got but before storming out of the room, he turned to Hermione. "What! Just a mindless monster, to Hell with you!" He roared as he slammed the door. Tippy walked over to Hermione who was a little upset.
"Please don't cry, Tippy hates seeing people crying." Tippy said giving Hermione a hug. "Listen to Tippy okay. The Master is not as terrible as he appears. If you looked passed it you might see it."
