Chapter 2
The door to Hermione's cell opened waking up the young witch. She had regained movement and scurried back away in fear. She had expected to be taken to be tortured for information, she didn't have. What she didn't expect was her old potions teacher standing there with a look of pity in his face. It had been so long since she had seen Snape, that he had defined gray hairs throughout his black hair.
Snape looked down at the girl. She was thinner than he remembered. Her hair had straightened with age. He studied her for a moment before seeing the silver band on her ring finger. She was married or at least engaged. His heart hurt at the sight of her, but didn't show it.
"Get up, Miss Granger," Snape sneered at her. He watched her scramble to her feet. "Follow me," He said to her.
"W-where are you taking me?" Hermione squeaked out following him fearfully.
"To get a physical, before presented to the Dark Lord and his inner circle," He said to her, as he led her to a well-lit sanitary room that hurt her eyes. There sat a nurse waiting for Hermione. "I'll be outside waiting to take you up," Snape said walking out leaving Hermione alone with the nurse.
"Disrobe over there," the nurse said to Hermione pointing to a chair to put her clothes on. There was no screen. Hermione began to strip to reveal a small frame except for her breasts that were aching and enlarged from not feeding Teddy. Hermione then looked down at her ring and removed it and put it with her clothes. Once she was disrobed the nurse circled her and clicked her tongue in disapproving manner.
"Bruised, thin, and apparently just gave birth, She said as her pen scribbled it down," Well we will just have to get rid of those," The nurse said referring to her breasts. She waved her wand and with a simple reduction spell Hermione's breast shrunk to there once B size. The nurse cleaned her up before tossing a simple beige dress stopped mid-calf. The sleeves weren't long and forced her to display her scar on her left arm. The dress hung on her. The nurse handed her black flats and a black choker. She was told to put them on before she left the room. The nurse herself left the girl, taking Hermione's clothes to burn them.
Meanwhile in the hall Snape waited for her to come out. When he had heard the news he was startled. He was surprised that after seven years they had finally caught her, he thought they never would. He thought her safe. He sighed getting impatient as he watched his godson walk down the hall.
"What are you doing down here Draco?" Severus asked tiredly to his godson. Draco had grown within the last 7 years. From what Snape heard from the ladies at parties he was considered "hot as hell."
"I came to see if they really… you know caught Granger…." Draco said to him softly. He felt his godfather's pain seeing two years ago Snape entrusted Draco with his secret. He became regretful over the way he treated the girl, and sorry that she was Voldemort's number one target. Everyone knew she was no real threat since her friends had died, but it was some kind of psychological thing. As long as Hermione as free people would have hope for better days.
"That's none of your business now go before someone realizes you are not at the table," Snape said to him. He had snapped at him just enough to get Draco to scurry along. Moments after Draco left Hermione emerged from the room in the outfit given to her by the nurse. She didn't look bad, after all she was almost a direct reflection of her mother except her hair straighter and her eyes slightly darker.
"Follow me, and don't speak," He said sternly to the former Gryffindor. The walked down the long hallway and up a flight of stairs. Hermione recognized this place. It was Malfoy manor. It was Darker and cleaner than the last time she had seen it. She in haled deeply as she walked by the giant main staircase where she had watch Harry take his final stand. The screams filled her ears once again. Tears reached her eyes, but she blinked them away as they entered the dining room. Her head downcast in shame.
"I am sorry I am late, my lord. But I brought the gift you asked for," Snape said bowing to Voldemort and the assembly of Death Eaters.
"Aaaahhh, thank you Severus," Voldemort said standing. He smiled wickedly as he circled his new prize. Snape bowed once again before taking his seat besides Draco. Draco's eyes hadn't left the girl since she walked in the room. She was not elegantly dressed, but she reminded him of the young woman who seemed to walk on air when she arrived to the Yule ball their fourth year. At the time his pride got in the way of asking for a dance.
"Hermione Granger," Voldemort said pulling Draco out of his trance," I have been waiting for this moment for a long time," He said touching her hair. His movements made her feel uncomfortable and as if being observed like an animal. "Draco I had promised you payment for killing Albus Dumbledore, and here it is. She will be your personal slave and do whatever you want, isn't it a nice gift," Voldemort said smiling at him.
"Yes, my lord it is a very nice gift. May I be excused to walk her to my room?" Draco asked him and he nodded. Draco stood and grabbed Hermione forcefully by the arm dragging her up to his bedroom. She stayed quiet afraid of what he might do.
When they finally reached Draco's room he shoved her in before saying," I'll deal with you later," He said locking the door and retreating downstairs. Hermione heard him. She stood looking around unsure of what to do. So she looked round the room. Tee furnishings dark with hints of green throughout. She noticed there were four doors. One she had entered through, two of which had to lead to a bathroom and closet. The fourth she was unsure of.
Soon hours went by and Hermione had taken up counting the furnishings in the room, but her game had been interrupted by Draco walking in with Snape. She starred at them before her eyes meeting the ground.
"Have you been standing this whole time?" Draco asked looking at her as he closed the door. She nodded slowly," Granger sit down," He said as Snape put a silencing spell over the room so no one could hear in. Hermione sat down. "Severus needs to tell you something very important. So just hear him out," Draco said to her. She nodded rather confused.
"Hermione when I was young I was in love with Lily Evans, Harry's mother, as you know. When she married James, I fell off the horse. I would get drunk, and sleep with woman I hardly knew the names of. That's when I meant Jane. She was also very drunk, she had just caught her new husband with his dental assistant. We comforted and made each other forget our heartaches…. It was only temporary there. She went back to her husband, and I had already forgotten her, when three weeks later Iran into her again and she told me she was pregnant and it wasn't her husband's. She was panicked, but her husband didn't mind that she had an affair or that she was pregnant. He promised to treat the baby as his own no matter what.
I later asked her if I could still help out with the child feeling responsible. They agreed. I met the child once after she was born, but I sent birthday and Christmas gifts. It wasn't until she turned 11 did I really get to meet her. I promised Jane to make sure she was safe, at Hogwarts. So I did, and it as easy to hide the fact because of her friends. But as she grew up, I couldn't help but feel proud due to her marks and even her character. So brave, but her best friend's destiny put her in danger on more than one occasion. I naturally began to worry. I planned to tell her but it wasn't safe to do so," Snape said telling this story. He stopped seeing Hermione looked as if she wanted to speak.
"I don't think I understand," She said softly," Or at least why you are telling me this," She added.
"Hermione you are my daughter," Snape said finally.
