Chapter Five : The Devil in a girl\'s shape
Florence was everywhere. As she closed her eyes to dive into sleep, Hermione found herself face to face with a teenage Florence smiling. It took her a while to realize that it was not directed to her.
Severus was clearly embarrassed. He straightened nervously under the girl\'s mischievous gaze and frowned. The afternoon was clear and sunny. The two young girls had chosen summer dresses that left very little room to imagination. Moira was slightly taller than Severus and her proportions had something bigger than life which was almost frightening. Generous breasts, generous bottom, and an overwhelming energy. Florence was shorter and looked fragile compared to her cousin, but her lean muscles betrayed her real nature. Hermione had no difficulty to imagine her finishing a stag or a bear off.
She was now able to move around in Severus\' memory but none of the characters could notice her, except Severus who seemed to be aware of her presence from time to time, mainly when she was so frustrated by the situations she could not prevent from whispering furiously in his ear. Sometimes, she even had the impression she could influence the course of events. It was an illusion of course, all these things had already happened a long time ago.
It was the beginning of the afternoon. Moira was playing with her dog, a horrible retriever of unknown origin. Hermione had not seen a more ugly dog since Fluffy and it had enormous canines. Florence was walking peacefully next to Severus. From time to time, she turned to him and fixed him with insistence until he looked back. There were a few awkward moments that made Hermione boil with resentment.
\"If you have to flirt maybe you could try to be a bit more innovative!\"
She considered Severus, unaware of the fact he was walking between the two girls, and turning his back to Hermione to face Florence. The bitch.
Florence sighed and pushed a curl of perfect black hair away from her perfect face. The way she managed to keep such a clear skin spending most of her time hunting outside was a mystery to Hermione. The girl let her fingers graze languorously on her cheek and pouted.
\"Why do we have to come back inside? The weather is so lovely today.\"
She sighed again and Severus stopped.
\"What do you think your mother would say if I told her there was no lesson today because of the sun?\"
Florence gave him an innocent smile.
\"Why would you tell her?\" ermiermione felt it was her duty to interfere.
\"Because otherwise he\'ll get sacked and you know it, little pest.\"
She turned to Severus for approval, forgetting she was not part of that reality. Her future lover was as straight as Justice.
\"Because it is my job, Miss Florence. That\'s what I\'m paid for. That\'s the reason for my presence here.\"
\"Is it the only thing that keeps you here?\"
Hermione walked through them and stood close to Florence.
\"Do you actually think he doesn\'t see through you pretending? Do you think he is that stupid?\"
Her bitter words had no effect on the girl\'s conspiratorial expression. She was transparent, she was nothing.
Severus seemed preoccupied by the situation but certainly not fooled by Florence\'s understatement.
\"I don\'t see any other reason.\"
Hermione felt a pang of pride surveying his stern face. She wanted to hold him close but she was afraid she might walk through him instead, and she was not ready for that.
\"If you spent as much energy on your studies as arguing pointlessly, you would get better marks.\"
Something froze in Florence\'s smile and Hermione had the very clear impression the mask was about to fall. But the girl ultimately kept her upper lip straight and displayed her most innocent look.
\"Moira doesn\'t like you.\"
It was as if they were suspended in time. Florence\'s smile widened.
\"She thinks you\'re a boring inhibited bookworm.\"
She burst into laugh. Severus seemed compelled to answer, but was clearly hesitating to the attitude he should adopt. The words were as bitter as the laugh was rich. Florence ultimately resumed to a more composed expression.
\"I think she is right.\"
Silence.
\"You obviously don\'t know anything about high society and good manners. Actually, you may have spend a great deal of time buried in your books, but you know nothing about Life or women.\"
She walked to him and stopped close to let the last words drop directly into his ear.
\"And I would bet you\'re a virgin.\"
Hermione did not dare to move. She could not see Severus\' expression, but she felt sick for him. He had only been here for a few days and he was already facing a direct authority conflict. It would not be easy to tame his cheeky pupils. Actually, she could not imagine how he would manage it. Florence snorted before turning on her heels and running for her cousin. Severus did not move as the two girls started a race through the wild flowers, closely followed by the barking dog.
************
Hermione woke up to see her troubled lover\'s face. His mouth was twisted in pain and his fists grasping at the sheets. She hold him close, rocking him slowly until he relaxed a bit. She did not want to sleep but she would have to. She would have to go back to the sunny castle and its commonplace cruelty.
************
The sun was still hot, but it was another day. Severus was facing the two girls and the advantage seemed to have switched side.
\"Please, Severus, please.\"
Hermione admired his bored look as they were praying him.
\"Come on. Be nice, for once.\"
\"I see no reason for being nice, ladies.\"
\"It\'s a very sweet clearing. We\'ll be fine there.\"
\"It\'s so dark inside.\"
Severus sighed.
\"You will be distracted.\"
The girls protested but there was a hard and incorruptible expression on the young man\'s features.
\"We\'ll give you a kiss.\"
He raised an eyebrow and considered the offer.
\"The two of you?\"
They nodded briskly. Severus raised his shoulders as if it was not a very interesting bargain but he was too bored to keep arguing.
\"I\'ll make an exception for today. We\'ll study outside.\"
They cheered with delight, but as they approached him for the reward he presented them his hands. The two girls stilled and stared at them disconcertingly.
\"Come on.\"
Hermione fought a laugh back as understanding crossed their minds. They exchange a glance and their eyes widened with incredulity.
\"Come on. You want to study outside or not?\"
Moira was the first one to give up and smile as if it was a good joke, she bended and kissed quickly his left hand. Then she run to the castle to get her study books. Florence took all her time to oblige, not leaving Severus\' eyes for a second. She was perfectly aware that the movement had revealed her chest. She let his hand go gracefully before walking to the castle.
Severus remained where he was. Hermione was anxious, it was too easy. What were they up to?
**********
The wonderful clearing which was supposed to be five minutes away from the castle happened to be lost in the forest of the vast garden. As they walked, Hermione had the feeling the sun was vanishing and the place was not different anymore from the Forbidden Forest.
She walked next to Severus. She didn\'t see the girls disappear behind one of the big three. Severus called them with his most menacing tone. No answer. They tried to come back but they had lost any sense of direction. The night came incredibly fast. They were lost.
No, he was lost, and he didn\'t have his wand.
A long howling broke the silence, the forest was inhabited. Severus quickened his pace and treaded on an unexpected obstacle. Under the pale light of the moon, she recognized with horror what it was: a human skull. No wonder why all their teachers had disappeared.
Suddenly, Severus\' memory turned into a hurricane of emotions and fears and she was taken away from him.
***********
She woke up with her hands clenched around his shoulders, shaking in an uncontrollable way.
For the first time, he had rejected her from his past.
She would never know what had happened in the forest.
Burying her head against his chest, she tried to pull away from the daylight which started to filter through the curtains. She wanted to go back there, she wanted to help him, but the night had vanished and with it the two girls, the forest, and a young professor who had one more reason to be suspicious of human kindness.
