Chapter 24: A Rather Untimely Save
{A/N: Here's Another Update...}
My Thanks To All My Readers and Reviewers...Enjoy S.S.
The Spare Bedroom, Snape's Manor, Unknown World...
Knowing all too well that she'd be waiting for him, Snape managed to side step a direct hit from another household object and caught the witch by her wrists. Hermione Granger struggled with all her might against the naked monster that had at one time been the Potions Professor she admired from afar. Using his incredible strength, Snape slammed the struggling witch onto her bed forcing his body between her thighs and pinning her down onto the mattress. The rage behind her amber eyes as she glared murderously at him in the wake of her struggles had pleased him a great deal. He took it upon himself to crush his pale lips into hers. It had taken her only a split second to resort to biting him and he seemed to delight in it as a flicker of amusement danced across the obsidian orbs that were his eyes in all their menacing splendor.
"So feisty." he said in an amused tone. "You are indeed a Gryffindor...but like the others you will succumb to my will soon enough."
"Not on your life." replied Hermione still proceeding to struggle for her freedom in the wake of his grasp.
"Yessss." hissed Snape as his dark eyes began to glow in the wake of her hatred. "I knew you'd be perfect."
He forced his dreaded kiss upon her once again despite her futile struggles.
"So beautiful...and yet passionate." he said looking upon her as if he were of a mind to sample his conquest.
Hermione became all the more frantic when she noted the slick flesh of his engorged appendage being pressed against her thigh. Snape seemed to be loosing whatever battle he had been fighting in terms of controlling himself. A low growl resonated deep within him and there was something predatory in his expression that wiped away all amusement.
His abnormally large nose took in the scent of jasmine from her brown hair and it seemed to entice him all the more.
"Let me go!" shouted Hermione still fighting against his obvious show of strength.
Snape let out a hiss as his body automatically thrust forward sliding his appendage along her thigh.
"It would be so easy..." he growled in her ear as if something even darker than she had witnessed before had was gripping him. "I've never needed to exercise self control before..."
The amber eyed witch found herself thinking of Severus Snape prior to the curse and how lonely and injured he had been the last she saw of him. His eyes were like that of an innocent boys whom had seen far too much sadness in his life to ever truly know happiness. She wished she could have spoken to him, that she could have helped him in some way.
A single tear trailed down her supple cheek in memory of the man no one mourned.
He had not deserved such a cruel fate, not in any life time.
Snape noted the recently shed tear and the stinging pain that filled him made him pull back from her entirely.
"What the fuck is this?" he asked confused. "First it had been Ginny, then Minerva, now Granger..."
He couldn't be in the same room with the wretched Gryffindor whores.
Hermione had been shocked by the way he leapt from the bed and attempted to bolt from the room. He had not gotten far before the black tears began to stream down his sallow pale cheeks and his body seemed to be in agony.
"KILL ME!" he shouted not taking his sorrowful eyes at Hermione Granger.
His words had caught her off guard.
"W-What did you say?" she asked stunned by what she had just witnessed.
"KILL ME!" demanded Snape seemingly struggling as the black tears continued to stream down his sallow pale cheeks.
Hermione had been at a loss for words as she realized this was the man she had known since her first day at Hogwarts. This was the true Severus Snape not bound by the impulse of the darkness that cursed him.
"Professor?" she said at last as she examined him.
"M-Miss Granger...you have to kill me..." he said still in the grips of a struggle. "I...I can't stop..."
Before Hermione got to say another word to the man she had admired so long ago, the curse took hold of him once more.
"I can't be killed." he said rather smugly. "And I shall outlast you all."
Hermione narrowed her eyes at the monster before her.
"He doesn't deserve this." she said.
"We seldom get what we deserve." said Snape getting to his feet.
His smoldering eyes fixated on her body.
"Another time then...Miss Granger." he said not at all wishing to endure that amount of agony again. "Perhaps...I will implement a bit of self control in this case...you are after all useful in deciphering the tome."
"I'm going to find a way to free you Professor." said Hermione now believing Dumbledore's words about Snape being cursed.
"I wouldn't count on it." replied Snape before he took his leave of her.
Snape had been enraged beyond measure as he stormed the halls of his residence in search of something to do with his pent up energy. Minerva had been good for the while she lasted but he was soon on the prowl for more and it wasn't a safe bet to return to her bed this soon given what she managed the last time. Hermione Granger had been just as annoying in that regard so that left Ginny Weasley.
There was no doubt in his mind that his faithful pet would have been in a good deal of pain without his efforts to ease her unyielding agony.
