Hermione felt like she was falling, as the location she was started to change. Hermione looked around the small dirty old room she was in she heard someone crying. She looked around the room and a saw a small shivering child hiding in the corner. The child looked about four or five. He had long black hair, a crooked nose and was wearing old rag that were four sizes to big for him. Hermione felt the need to comfort the scared child, believing that the beast kidnapped him or something.

"Hello?" Hermione said softly as she approach the small child slowly, the child didn't look up or even acknowledge her. "Little boy? It's okay I'm not going to hurt you," Hermione said softly as she knelt down and reached out to touch his shoulder, but her hand went straight through him. "Little boy?" Hermione said as she heard someone yelling and swearing, while someone else cried.

"Our boy is a fucking freak!" Shouted a man.

"Tobias, stop this!" A woman cried in panic.

"Mummy no!" The little boy cried, as a large loud knock came to his door.

"Boy open this bloody door!" Tobias shouted with pure rage.

"Tobias, leave him alone!" A woman plead with him, as the door to the child's room was busted down. The child let out a cry of fear, as Hermione turned to look at who entered, she recognized the woman, she looked exactly like the woman from the portrait inside beast's room. The man had a strong built, he had short light brown hair with mustache and was wearing dirty looking work clothes. Hermione got between him and the boy and pointed her wand at him.

"Leave him alone, leave the both of them alone, or you will regret it!" Hermione warned, glaring hateful at the man. Tobias didn't seem to notice Hermione, as he lunged at the small child going straight through her. The man repeatedly struck the small child and the scene blacked out and a different scene appeared. The boy was slightly older now and was standing between his parents. To Hermione it looked like he was protecting his mum from his dad, then soon the scene changed again.

Hermione found herself by a small pond in a park, she saw the small child playing with red haired girl. "Is Hogwart's real, Severus?" she asked.

"Its real," said Severus with a small smile, as the image change again. Hermione now found herself inside Hogwart's school. She only went there for a few years, she left after her parents death as she struggled to pay for her school fees. She watched as the red headed girl was sorted into Gryffindor and Severus sorted into Slytherin house. Another scene appeared and she watched Severus being tormented by Gryffindor's student. This image faded too and now Severus was now a teen, Hermione watched as someone was holding him up in the air and exposed Severus to everyone around him. Hermione watched as the redheaded girl came to help, but Severus called her a Mudblood and she turned away. Hermione felt a large hand on her shoulder and was pulled out of the pensieve. She found herself back inside the beasts room, with the beast snarling and glaring at her.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!?" Beast snarled glaring at her and in anger he punches a wall, making a large hole. "GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
