In The Darkness
Ok guys, sorry about the lack of updates! Here it is for you! And, I've had a problem with the text on all the apostrophies, speach marks and ... seem to have been lost and been replaced by dodgy characters... I have tried to change them all back but I don't know if it has worked. Just bear with me for the time being please!!!
Chapter 33
The next few weeks were... interesting... to say the least. Hermione and Harry were going out, and had almost gathered celebrity status throughout the school. Everywhere they went people whispered, chatting eagerly if they kissed briefly in pubic, when they wiped food off each other's faces, giggled and laughed at each others attempts to be affectionate towards one another. The friends in their group were happy for them, accepting it for what it was. Ron hadn't been pushed out as he had feared he would be either, although there were times he did feel the gooseberry. All in all, it was convincing, and very, very amusing to both Harry and Hermione. They even had there own pet names for each other. It was like there own secret joke.
Severus, however, wasn't laughing.
They were always together. Also holding hands, flirting with each other. Yes he knew it was for show, but he couldn't help but feel a swell of anger every time he saw them together. Every single time. Hermione swore that she had never been unfaithful, and that she never would. Severus did believe her, but the sight of them together went he should be in that BOY'S place was very nearly unbearable. And it didn't get any easier over time. Especially in Potion's class.
Every Gryfindor hated Friday mornings. Except Hermione, she rather enjoyed them, for one simple reason. Snape and Potions first thing. What could possibly be any better?
Friday morning caused Hermione to wear slightly more makeup and add a spring to her step as she bounced through the doors into the Great Hall, her curls tumbling down her back as she jumped into her seat next to Harry, pecking him on the lips.
"Morning!" She said brightly.
"Good morning to you Madam!" Harry replied, "What are you eating today?"
"Hmmm... Anything you want to give me... Chosen One..."
"Anything?"
"Anything..." She replied in a seductive voice that caused a few of the students sitting around them to look up.
"Anything eh... how about a nice, juicy piece of meat?" He replied, his voice husky.
"Well now, Mr Potter, I only take the biggest chunks of meat, I like to take them whole". Do you think that you could provide me with that?" She tried desperately not to laugh as a good few more students looked up in shock at her, one young boy almost choking on his porridge.
"Madam, I am almost sure that you will be more than satisfied with the meat I can provide..."
"Hmm... I'm sure that I will be..." She looked around at the startled faces around her... Dare she? Of course she did. "I want to eat it now!" She said loudly. Harry stifled a laugh, whilst everyone else stared, dumbstruck. Harry regained his composure.
"Madam, trust me, it would be far too much to have for breakfast... it is mush better when had for.. say... a break time snack..."
"Do you mean Mr Potter, for example, after Potions?"
"Yes Madam, that is precisely what I mean."
"In that case, Mr Potter, after Potions it is, as I am positively ravenous for it..." She said sexily as she leaned over the table to the fruit bowl, taking a banana and letting her arm wipe Harry's chest obviously. Peeling the banana to get to the fruit, she took the first few inches in her mouth, letting her tongue roll down the side of it, flicking it around the shaft of the banana. Harry glanced at the boys on the table, laughing to himself as he watched them stare at Hermione and her somewhat perfected tongue movement over the banana...
Pulling her lips to expose the not wet banana, she looked up at Harry, slowly taking it back in her mouth...
Suddenly, she bit down hard through the banana, laughing as she saw a few of the boys flinch from the corner of her eye. She ate the rest of the banana normally and with a smile on her face, throwing Harry a knowing look every now and again.
After breakfast, the couple made there way down to Potions, meeting Ron by the door. Together they went into the classroom, taking their usual seats next to each other, Hermione next to Harry, Harry next to Ron. It was at this point where Snape came in, bursting through the door in a dramatic fashion, barking out orders to finish the Potion, reminding the students that the potion should be a mint green colour with a gentle green mist floating a few centimetres from the actually liquid, not a forest green that billowed dark green steam (glaring at Ron as he said this). It was at this moment when the classroom became busy with quiet chatter, partners discussing with each other who would get the cauldrons and who would get the ingredients. Hermione was working with Ron, leaving Harry on his own.
"Do you wanna get the ingredients and I'll get the cauldron? I never know which is which in those bloody plant roots; they all look the same to me."
"Really Ron, you need to start revising..." She said, scowling slightly.
"Oh not now Mrs Potter! Just get over there will you!" Ron laughed as he gently pushed her in the direction of the ingredients at the opposite side of the class from where the cauldrons were.
As Hermione took her first few steps, she saw Severus standing by the cauldrons, inspecting each one as the students walked past with them. She stopped in her tracks, forcing Ron to nearly fall into her as he was walking behind her.
"You know what Ron, I'll get the cauldron, it's high time you learnt what plants looked like..." She said quickly before dashing off, not really hearing Ron say "I know what stupid plants look like..."
She pushed past a few people and started to walk normally, a slightly more obvious sway to her hips as she walked past Severus. It did not go unnoticed to him. Picking up her cauldron, she turned around and began to walk past him again, obviously ignoring him completely. Suddenly a hand wrapped itself around her upper arm, pulling her quite close to the owner of the hand.
"Miss Granger..." He said in the sexiest voice she had ever heard him say her name in. She looked up at him innocently.
"Yes... sir?"
"I need to check this potion." He said, staring at her intensely.
"Please, go right ahead Sir." She said in a completely innocent voice. He looked over at her hands, his gaze following to her chest where it lingered for a few moments before meeting with her eyes again.
"I think that all is well here." He said, letting go of her arm at last.
"I'm not too sure; perhaps you should check me... I mean, the potion, again... Sir..." She said quietly as so the other students wouldn't hear.
"Hmm... I think I should..." He almost let a tiny smile curve his lip. "Later, Miss Granger, you are pestering me again..." He said loudly. She rolled her eyes and carried on walking back to her seat, letting a big smile fall across her face.
"Oh, aren't we happy today Granger?" Hermione's smile dropped to a look of distain when she realised the owner of the voice.
"I have every reason to be, Malfoy." She said, smugly.
"Do you actually mean that Potter has at last made you come? No, that can't be, I mean with his tiny prick, I bet you it's too small to floss you're teeth with it at first, let alone get any pleasure from it."
"Malfoy, it sounds like you you've been fantasising about this, have you being imagining Harry naked? Maybe you've been trying to sneak a peek in the showers to see my boyfriend naked and caught a different guy who happened to be a lot smaller that my Harry┘ tell me, were you disappointed?"
"You tell me, where you upset when he pulled out a 3inch dick that was already hard?"
"Not nearly as upset as I was when he pulled out his 9inch member that was soft." Malfoy was actually stunned for a moment, not expecting Hermione to ever say anything like that. It was in this moment that that she gave him a smirk and carried on walking past him. Malfoy regained himself.
"So how was it when he made you come? Was it like "Oh, Harry!!! OOOOHHHHHHH HHHHAAARRRRRRRRRRRRYYYY!!" Malfoy began to shout, moaning in a high pitch, squealing dramatic ecstasy. Hermione rolled her eyes as she spun back around to him. The noises had caught the attention of most of the class, including Harry and Snape.
"Malfoy, I had always imagined what you sound like when you fuck your mother, well now I know don't I?" Harry, who arrived by Hermione's side, laughed out loud when she said this. Malfoy fell silent for a while.
"At least I don't have to fuck a dirty mudblood whore who will open her legs to anyone and everyone." He shouted at Harry.
"See the difference between you and me Malfoy, if that I can fuck my girlfriend if I want. You don't have a choice as to when your dad bends you over."
Malfoy's face a vivid shade of red in anger as the class roared with laughter. He had nothing else to say, the class was rolling in laughter. He reached inside his robes for his wand, only to realise he had left it on the desk. Suddenly he launched himself at Harry, losing his self control. It all seemed to happen so quickly, Malfoy grabbed Harry's robes with his left hand and brought down a powerful punch to the face with his right, pushing Harry's face sideward's, his eye seemingly exploding upon impact of the fist to his face. As Malfoy let go of his robes, Harry fell to the floor, but only for a second, as suddenly he was back on his feet, he too had his fist raised and about to punch Malfoy. Malfoy dodged, swinging for Harry again...
Hermione was pushed backwards when Malfoy first grabbed Harry, and could do nothing more than watch the two of them fight, fists flying, unable to tell who was winning, a flash of red would appear where someone was bleeding. As Harry was nearly knocked to the ground again she leapt forward to grab him and pull him away from the fight, but as she leaned in to reach him Malfoy grabbed her roughly by her robes, slamming his fists onto her back.
"Get out of the way, Mudblood!" He hissed as he pushed her roughly to the side, sending her crashing to the floor, her hands landing flat on the floor in front of her, just breaking her fall.
Severus had watched all of this from the side of the room, and at the moment he saw the two boys begin to fight he had drew his wand and waited for a moment where he would be able to separate them without sending them flying across the room. It looked like a good fight, he had to admit, and he was almost interested in who would win.
But the moment that Malfoy put his hands upon Hermione Severus had already lifted his wand, and by the time that she was on the floor Malfoy had been sent flying across the room, slamming into the stone wall on the other side of the class. Harry was just laid on the floor, blood pouring from his eye, his chest heaving heavily, seemingly unaware of the Hermione lay close to him on the floor.
Severus stormed over to where Hermione lay, and before he went to help her, he shouted across to Malfoy.
"If you have drawn blood on her Malfoy, I swear you will never step foot in this school again." He bent down to pick her up, lifting her head towards him. She looked at him as he examined her face, there was no blood and no marks. She would probably have red marks on her back from where she was pushed, but that would be about it. He helped her to her feet, standing close to her and quietly asking if she was ok. She nodded.
"You should be thanking Merlin that she is not seriously hurt!" He shouted to Malfoy, who was just slumped against the wall in the shadows.
Turning back, Severus walked over to Harry, grabbing him and roughly bringing him to his feet.
"Mr Weasley, take Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy to the Hospital Wing. Potter, Malfoy, I will see both of you here at 7:00 tonight to start the beginning of your 2 weeks of detention. Class dismissed."
The rest of the class followed Ron, Harry and Draco, mumbling quietly about what a great fight and even better that they had gotten to finish the class so early. When most of the class had left Severus turned to Hermione again, lowering himself slightly to look at her face again, though she kept turning away.
"Hermione are you hurt?" She shook her head. "Are you sure?" She nodded. He wrapped his arms around her protectively, only to feel her stiffen slightly. He let go, his hands still holding her arms gently. "Tell me what you're thinking." She paused.
"I've never been pushed by a man before." Severus sighed.
"That's because a real man would never push a woman." He pulled her close again and felt her relax against him. They stayed there for a few minutes, just holding each other. He pulled away from her so that he could see her, cupping her face with his hands.
"I would never intentionally hurt you." She smiled.
"That is why you are a real man."
Lucius Malfoy sat besides his son's hospital bed later that evening, having been called in by the staff at Hogwarts to a meeting about his son's behaviour and language to other students. It had been explained to him what had happened in the dungeons earlier that day, what had been said to his son and how he had reacted. Now he sat upright on the chair next to the bed, staff in his hand, listening to his son.
"What did they tell you about what happened father?" Draco asked.
"Draco I don't care about what had happened. I know what the topic of conversation was between you, Potter (which he spat out) and that little mudblood, and I know that you would have won that fight and possibly beaten Potter to a pulp if Severus hadn't have stopped you." Draco smirked slightly. "No Draco, the only reason why I came down here to see you was to ask you a question. Why, do you think, that Severus would sit and watch two boys fighting and not try to stop them, but as soon as the mudblood bitch was touched, he reacted in a... somewhat irrational way..."
"I don't know father."
"Tell me, has either of them been acting... odd... Recently?"
"Not really... Actually... Now that you mention it, the other week Grang..."
"Draco I don't want to hear ITS name."
"...That little whore was staring at Snape as he walked into the Great Hall... That's when Potter announced that they were dating, she did look surprised..."
Lucius began to smirk.
"Hm, how odd... Would it seem at all believable if I were to say that maybe Miss Mudblood Whore is somewhat attracted to Severus, and that those feelings are mutual, and that the situation between said mudblood whore and Mr Potter was a facade to cover up the feelings that she has for a certain brooding Potions master?"
"Snape with... with... A woman, let alone her! It couldn't be..." Lucius looked at his son. "You may be right father, but I can't imagine it... He is a deatheater, and a loyal one at that, is a dirty bloodied Gryffindor..."
"I am not questioning his loyalty, Draco, but maybe we should... Why else would he get so angry over you pushing any dirty Gryffindor."
"I don't know father, but I can't imagine them. It seems impossible. I don't think that he ever would, or could, and she definitely never would."
"Well Draco, there is only one way to find out, isn't there..."
