Chapter 12

Hermione woke up and saw Severus sitting on the side of the bed, looking at her.

“You’re beautiful,” he said. She looked down at herself and saw she was lying there naked. Reaching for the blanket to cover herself, he stopped her.

“No Hermione, let me look at you,” he smiled. She blushed and looked away, but he pulled her into a sitting position. “Hermione, you have the most exquisite body.” Leaning into her, he kissed her passionately, pulling her into his lap so that she was straddling him.

“My body is disappointing,” she whispered.

“You body is perfect,” he said, rubbing his hands over her curves, continuing to kiss her. She leaned into him, kissing back. His hands cupped and caressed her breasts causing her to moan softly. Her hands wrapped around his neck, pulling him to her. One hand wrapped around her back as the other found her mound and began to massage it, enter his fingers into her wetness.

“I need to make love to you again,” he said half pleading, half begging. He lifted her up on to his hard shaft and she slowly lowered herself, letting him fill her.

Placing his hands on her hips, he guided her movements as she slowly set the rhythm, moving as one. Her hands held his neck, looking into each other’s eyes.

“You feel so goood,” she whispered, kissing him. They continued moving, rocking with one another, pleasuring each other, memorizing each other’s body, making love the rest of the morning.

Later in the day, Albus brought them some disturbing news. They were sitting in the living room.

“I know this is the last thing you need to hear, but I thought that I should be the one to tell you,” said Albus, “Lucius Malfoy has requested a hearing to prove his innocence.”

Hermione grabbed onto to Severus. He growled, “What is that idiot basing his request on?”

“He is claiming that Hermione seduced him and then tried to kill him. He’s calling it self-defense.”

“Oh gods! That is not true!” she pleaded.

“Of course it’s not true,” replied Severus, “This is part of his game. It’s his last chance to destroy us.”

“Severus is right,” said Albus, “Lucius is facing a life sentence in Azkaban and if he can prove that he attempted to cast the killing curse out of self-defense, then he goes free.”

“Who is required to attend the hearing?” asked Severus.

“Hermione, you, Harry, Ron and myself along with the Minister of Magic and the Governors,” sighed Albus.

“Why Harry and Ron?” asked Hermione, “They had nothing to do with it.”

“Either he is going to use them against you or he wants them to witness how he tortured you,” sneered Severus.

“How will they witness him torturing me?” she asked hesitantly.

“The pensieve,” he answered.

“Oh gods, I forgot about that,” cried Hermione. “Harry and Ron don’t know what happened. I mean, they do, but not every detail.”

“When is the hearing Albus?”

“Tomorrow.”

“What?” cried Hermione.

“Azkaban granted him one day to have the hearing. They purposely scheduled it quick so that he would have as little time as possible to prepare.”

“What about us?” Hermione asked.

“The pensieve will tell your side of the story,” said Albus, “but you need to be present to affirm that they are your memories. It will be difficult Hermione, but this is your chance to put him away for the rest of his life.”

Hermione hung her head and cried. Severus pulled her into his embrace, comforting her.

“I will leave you two alone,” and Albus left.

“Hermione -”

“I know,” she said through sobs, “I need to do this. I don’t have a choice.” She stood up and walked into the garden, crying. All he wanted to do was protect her, yet Malfoy still had his claws in her. He followed her to the garden and watched her. She was slowly walking around, taking in the scenery and solitude the garden provided.

Severus was standing behind her, not knowing what to do, but swore not to leave her side.

“I can do this,” her voice was stronger. “I am scared, but I can do this.” She turned to look at him. “Will you stay by my side?”

“Nothing but death can stop me.” She threw herself into his arms, knowing everything was going to be okay.

The next day, Severus escorted Hermione into one of the larger meeting rooms at Hogwarts. It was decided to have Malfoy’s hearing here because there were enough wards in place, lessening his chance for escape. The room was fill with the required witnesses including the Ministry of Magic, the Governors, Hermione’s closest friends and acquaintances. Lucius had obviously requested as many people in Hermione’s life as he could. She held on tight to Severus’ arm, walking close by his side. Her eyes cautiously looked around when her gripped tightened on Severus. She saw Lucius Malfoy sitting at the head of the room, draped in his finest robes. He saw her and winked at her before blowing her a kiss.

“Be strong my love,” Severus whispered in her ear. She nodded as they continued toward their seats in the front of the room. Sitting down, she took a deep breath and slowly let it out, demandierseerself to look at him in the eye and show no fear. As her final breath left her mouth she raised her eyes to look at him. He was staring right at her, smiling like he was in the middle of a game that he just won.

Severus turned to her and noticed her staring intently at him. “I can do this,” she whispered.

The governors began the hearing, having Hermione be the first to testify. All she had to do was verify the contents of the pensieve belonged to her. The room was silent while her memories of Malfoy played out before the crowd. She glanced back at Harry and Ron who actually had tears in their eyes, realizing for the first time the true hell she had gone through. Severus tensed in anger, watching herng rng raped after she had been abducted from his dungeons. Hermione trembled, trying to block out what she saw, but her own cries from the pensieve echoed in her ears.

Finally it was Malfoy’s turn to testify. He needed to remind the Ministries of Magic along with the Governors of his participation in the magical community. So after a long-winded explanation of all his financial contributions he had made over the years to various charities, he finally got to the part of being hired at Hogwarts.

“Miss Granger was the Head Girl and she sat at the High Table next to me. After the sorting feast was over, she immediately approached me. I had always assumed she was shy, but she was really a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She was not shy in telling me how attracted she found me by offering me her hand to kiss. She offered me anything else I wanted, including a night of sex. I believe her exact words were, ‘you can fuck me senseless – the more violent you are, the harder I cum.’ Well you can imagine my shock. Miss Granger repeatedly threw herself at me until finally I could not resist. I am a man with a healthy sexual appetite. Look at her.” Malfoy pointed to her and the entire room stared at Hermione. “She is thatthat pleasant to look at, but then again, I wasn’t planning on looking at her face.”

Severus tensed up, trying to stand, but Hermione held him tight, not allowing him. Looking into his eyes, she was beginning to understand Malfoy’s game. His eyes were no longer held the smug look of confidence, but instead held a crazed look.

Malfoy continued to testify, making her sound like a whore who enjoyed being pain.

“The night I was accused of abducting her, she planned the whole thing out. She purposely earned detention with Severus. Having always dropped hints about how much of a man Severus was, she begged me to steal her from him. She enjoyed being the object of men’s desires. I went along with her plan, because I could not resist her. She had complete control over me and I could not pass up a chance of stealing Severus’ whore. Look at her now, sitting next to him like an innocent victim.”

Severus rose to his feet, glaring at Lucius with a look of death.

“She spent her time fucking us both and you were too stupid to realize it. She doesn’t love you any more than she loves me Severus. She is using you now. At least I was able to teach her a lesson the night I took her. Have you taken her from the back? You can’t imagine how incredible it is to take someone that young and sodomize them,” he sneered. Severus drew his wand and pointed at Lucius.

“NO!” cried Hermione, trying to pull his arm down. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind he was about to cast the killing curse. Lucius continued to sneer at him, daring him to do it.

“Severus, if you kill him, he wins. You will go to Azkaban for the rest of your life and I lose you! He is trying to destroy *us*! It’s a part of his game. He knows that he has lost and he is trying to take you with him.” He still held his wand, aimed at Lucius.

“Severus,” she whispered in his ear, “I love you. He cannot hurt me anymore. He can say what every he wants, but they are just words. I need you. Please.” He broke eye contact and looked at her. The sincerity and strength he saw in her eyes gave him the power to lower his wand.

“I love Hermione,” he whispered, “He will not take me away from you.” Severus turned back to Lucius and put his wand away. Lucius jumped out of his chair, launching himself at Hermione, but was stopped short by the green sparks from Draco Malfoy’s wand. He did not throw the killing curse, but another that stopped his father in mid air.

“It stops now!” Draco hissed at his father. Albus moved to stand at his side, showing his support for the action Draco had taken against his father. He raised his left sleeve, revealing his own Dark Mark. “I took this because you promised me honor and respect. You are a disgrace to the Malfoy name. I spit on you father!” He turned his back on Lucius and left the room.

The Governors took Lucius into custody and apparated back to Azkaban with him to serve out his life sentence.
