Chapter 20 ~ Marcus Gives Odessa the Lowdown
Marcus told Odessa the history of Hermione and Severus as well as he knew it.
He couldn’t give the details of how they first became interested in each other, but because of Hermione’s young age, he assumed Snape had popped her cherry, either while she was in Hogwarts, or shortly after she graduated, discovered she was a freak, and it grew from there. He knew from the other staff members that Snape had help arrange Hermione’s position at Hogwarts, from the job itself, to the location of her rooms and lab, down to the adjoining doors. It seemed the Potions Master had a bit of a manipulative side himself when it came to getting what he wanted.
Marcus held nothing back because he realized in the telling that there were some realities of the couple’s relationship that would not appeal to Odessa, and possibly break the impossibly perfect image she had of Severus, such as their realistic rape role-play on the grounds of Hogwarts. Odessa had lived through rape and abuse. This aspect of her “dream-lover” blatantly brutalizing his wife and enjoying it, might break her fantasy in two. Marcus was extremely graphic in describing what he witnessed near the Forbidden Forest, and Odessa had gone white. He included the naked Snape incident in the DA class, describing Severus’ cock as shown by the boggart impersonating him, and this was met by another color change by Odessa.
He even included his own pursuit of Hermione’s twisted little favors, which was punctuated by a ’Marcus, you pig’, “Bastard’ and “Sick fuck” commentary by Odessa as she found out how low he had gone to try and either fuck or rape Hermione. His defense was Odessa was not the only one entitled to obsessions, which shut her up. He also described Severus’ response to his trying to take Hermione by hook or crook, which definitely showed that the Potions Master treasured her very much, willing to fight for her twisted little virtue. He also married her to secure his claim on her.
Marcus then told Odessa about the astral plane adventure, and how the couple’s love was their defense against Alistar’s hatred and lust, and how well it had worked. He concluded his history with the vision Hermione had of Severus fucking Odessa’s exact double and how it was driven away by Severus’ love for his wife, describing exactly how powerfully that love manifested itself. His story done, Marcus sat back on the couch and looked at Odessa. The witch’s eyes were glazed.
“They saw us together…so it’s possible,” she breathed.
Fuck. Hadn’t she heard anything else he said?
“Odessa, do you really want to be with a man who would probably brutalize you sexually? After all you’ve been through?” Marcus said, trying to make her see that Severus was not perfect, but rather twisted.
“He wouldn’t do that to me,” she said, “it sounds like he fucks Hermione like that because she makes him.”
Oh Mav’s tits. This woman just wasn’t getting it. He saw them. Severus loved what he was doing to his wife. Marcus shook his head.
“Odessa, they’ve faced death together. I’ve heard she created a spell that saved his life as well. That’s a lot to try to come between,” Marcus said. As he talked about the couple, he started to realize that there was a lot more to them than he had ever really considered before. He could almost understand their love for each other, twisted as some aspects of it was.
Odessa continued to focus on the astral vision, and Hermione’s fear of it. Marcus shook his head and threw up his hands. The woman was a lost cause, and even he could see she was on a mission she could never complete. He stood up.
“All right, Odessa…I’ve told you all I know about them. Satisfied?” he asked.
“Yes,” she said dreamily. Marcus sighed, washing his hands of her for good.
“Well, I’m out of here. Don’t expect any more help from me. And like I said, it’ll be Hi and Goodbye with us. Understood?” he said.
“Whatever,” Odessa said, coming to herself and looking at him with narrowed eyes.
“You are even more of a bastard than I first took you for, Marcus. How do you live with yourself?” she said.
He telescoped his eyes at her.
“Because I know I’m a bastard, and don’t mind it. You see, Odessa, as far as I’m concerned, this whole world revolves around me and my needs. I don’t care that it’s a fucked up attitude. It works for me…and at least I’ve never gone for someone who another person has a legal claim on. If I have any lines I haven’t yet crossed that’s one of them. Can you say the same?’
“This is something beyond man-made laws, Marcus. This is true love,” she said.
“You’re a twisted bitch, Odessa. I know you’ve had a hard life and all, but you are in way over your head here. You are trying to come between two people who have one soul…”
Marcus blinked. He couldn’t believe he actually said that. But he did, so he just kept going.
“…and you’re going to wind up on the fucked up end of all this. Mark my words.”
“Goodbye, Marcus,” Odessa said coldly, dismissing him.
“Right,” Marcus said, exiting her rooms.
Hermione and Severus were returning from breakfast, and saw Marcus leaving Odessa’s room. He saw them and gave them a lop-sided grin as he walked past, straightening his robes, trying to give them the impression that his visit to Odessa’s rooms had not be in vain.
“Marcus!” Hermione called after him. He turned, his eyebrows raised.
“Did you notice if Odessa had a cat?” she asked him.
Marcus winked at her and said, “Of course she does.” Then turned and swaggered down the corridor. Hermione was furious.
“He is soooo insufferable. I meant a real kitty cat,” she said.
Severus chuckled. “It would seem Miss Divine has a new love interest,” he said, unwarding the door. Hermione frowned. She smelled sex on Marcus, but it wasn’t recent. He smelled less of cat too, as he passed…but she could still smell it slightly. In her animagus form she would have been able to smell it stronger. Suddenly, she turned to her husband.
“Severus, I want to roam the grounds tonight in my animagus form. Will you come with me? Show me your form?” she asked him.
Severus looked down at her, her eyes shining. Well, she could transform with her clothes now, so there was no reason she couldn’t go outdoors now. But still…
“Hermione, you know I’m unregistered,” he said softly.
“So? If we get caught, you can just tell the Ministry you recently developed the power to transform. For all they know, we learned together. They can’t tell how long you’ve had the ability. We have thirty days to register,” she argued. Hermione was really quite crafty.
“All right, love. Tonight we will howl at the moon,” Severus said, stepping aside and letting her enter the office first, then following, closing the door behind them.
Down the hall, another door closed, softly.
So, they were animagi. Hm. Odessa had been dying to go outside and roam the grounds. Tonight seemed like an excellent night to do just that.
********************************
A/N: So Marcus gave it all up to Odessa, just as he agreed to. Seems he meant to discourage her. So far, our fair couple has no idea she is an animagi-plus. They may find out tonight though. I hope I cleaned up the naked transformation thingy ok. Lol. I gave it a good shot…it’s possible. Makes sense to me, really. Anyhow, next chapter should be interesting. Please review.
