Hollow Man
Severus took deep breaths as he held his stinging face. She had slapped him. Hermione had slapped him! And why? Because he had nearly hit her!
Lord, what had he done?! Carefully, he looked at her out of the corner of his eye. She was panting behind the sofa, looking both horrified and shocked. He watched as tears welled in her eyes and she took a really deep breath.
Oh no, he was going to cry because of him! He had nearly hit this amazing woman who truly seemed to care whether he rotted in hell or not.
\"Oh... Gods...\" He heard her whisper. Wearily, Hermione rounded the sofa and stood way out of his striking range, \"I... I am so, so sorry.\"
She was apologizing to him! Why? She had only defended herself. She thought it was her fault that he had a small hand print on his cheek? It definitely was not!
But this could be a good thing. If it had been some one else, Severus suspected they would be on their way to St. Mungo\'s right now. No one had ever stood up to him, let alone slapped him and he had let her get away with it. More than that, he had no delayed inkling to get her back.
\"I didn\'t mean... I... you...\" She stuttered hopelessly, \"I thought... I was scared.\"
Her quiet voice stabbed sharply through his chest. She was scared of him. Never had those three words hurt him so much as they did now. Usually to hear those words coming from a younger person would cause him the most enormous amount of joy that he could adopt Harry Potter as his son. Now, however, they left him feeling hollow.
