kindness
Hermione realized that there was someone looking at her and that she was naked and that she was dry heaving, but she couldn’t stop.
She felt hands pull the hair out of her mouth and face and tie it back. She felt a soft, warm, cloak placed over her shoulders and she felt strong arms holding her.
When she finally gained some composure she was shocked to see one Severus Snape looking into her eyes with a kindness she didn’t know he possessed. He handed her a potion.
She drank it and almost choked it up, but after a few seconds the world stopped spinning.
She leaned into him, exhausted. She didn’t think she had drunk that much really, but her body was saying otherwise. “Thank you” she said at last.
~~
Severus was surprised to find that the woman dry heaving on the dungeon floor was none other than Hermione Granger. He was having some difficulty still himself and the smell of her breath wasn’t helping the situation with his stomach, but he did his best.
It was too early in the morning to put up his act and seeing her naked body was doing wonders for him, so he decided to give in and be nice for once.
This was the young girl who never ceased to amaze him every day of his life and he found himself sympathizing with her situation this morning.
He didn’t say anything to her when she leaned against his chest and said “Thank you”, he simply held her.
They sat there for several minutes in silence. The quiet in the air made it feel as if time had stopped.
Finally he helped her to her feet. He didn’t know what to say to her then. Normally he would throw her a stare and question her about what she was doing here and why she was so obviously drunk and naked, but for a change he found he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to change the feeling that held between them at that moment.
She stumbled. He caught her.
He realized he would have to help her get around in the state she was in. He considered bringing her to Poppy, but he wasn’t planning on punishing her. He couldn’t be caught bringing a naked Hermione Granger back to the dormitories, so he decided to bring her to his rooms.
Laying an arm across her shoulder and pulling her within his grasp, he slowly walked her around the corner and into his rooms and carefully sat her down on his couch.
~~
Hermione didn’t know what to say to him. His help was desperately needed, but she was sincerely afraid at that moment that she would be in trouble once he helped her to her feet.
She stared at the ground and began to blush when she realized that all she had on was his cloak. The ground began moving. She once again felt his arm wrap protectively around her.
Slowly and carefully he led her into what she had to assume was his living quarters and sat her down on the couch. She rearranged his cloak so that he couldn’t see her naked body as she sat, but it left her back and legs exposed.
The couch felt good against her bare bottom: the black leather was warm and soft.
She sat in stunned silence, watching as he summoned a glass of water for her to drink.
Their eyes met and Hermione once again saw that face of kindness and concern. Her worries disappeared when he didn’t say anything. For the first time that morning, Hermione felt safe.
~~
Severus ran his hands through his hair, thinking about what to do next.
He stared into her eyes and saw a look of trust there. He noticed that she had rearranged his cloak to cover herself and he decided to get her some of his clothes to wear. She had grown in the summer between her sixth and seventh year and he figured she would fit some of his older stuff.
He pulled a trunk out of his closet and rummaged through it. Nearly everything he owned was black, but he managed to find a white button up shirt from when he was younger. He handed her the shirt and a black pair of pants and then turned around so that he was directly in front of the fireplace. He could hear her dressing behind him. He decided to brush the ashes from the bottom of the fireplace into a bucket while she dressed. He had finally started using the fireplace again just last night. He thought to himself that the dungeons get cold at night.
As he was doing this, the head of Albus Dumbledore appeared in the fireplace.
Realizing that there was a half naked Hermione behind him, he did his best to hide the view of her from Albus. Thankfully he was already positioned between herself and the headmaster.
“Headmaster.” Severus said, trying to hide the surprise and nervousness from his voice.
“Ah, Severus, I was wondering if you could update me on the progress of your work with Miss Granger. I tried to get in contact with her this morning but she wasn’t in her dormitories. Tell me, have you sent the paperwork in to the ministry yet?”
Severus realized that the headmashadnhadn’t noticed Hermione yet. He hoped that the girl was smart enough to hide from view.
“Yes, I have a meeting with her this morning. We’ll go over the paperwork then.”
“Very good Severus.”
Dumbledore’s face cracked into a wide grin and he said, “You two have a good time then.” Then he disappeared.
Severus put up a shield in front of the fireplace, barring further floo use of it.
~~
Hermione stood deathly still behind her professor when she heard Dumbledore’s face in the fireplace. She hoped he didn’t see her wearing nothing but a white button up shirt behind her potions professor. She didn’t think she could bear the humiliation – but then, she still didn’t know what had happened to her last night. She grimaced at the thought. When the conversation ended and Snape put up a shielding charm, she spoke.
“Do you think he saw me?”
She sat down on the couch again, forgetting about the pants.
~~
Severus turned around andked ked at her, only to find that she hadn’t finished dressing. The shirt covered most of her body, but the bottom buttons were undone still and he could see everything below her bellybutton. He quickly looked away, afraid to upset her.
“I think that if he had, the both of us would be in trouble right now.”
“You can turn around. I’m done now.” She said to him.
He turned around to see her dressed in his clothes. He realized that he probably should have given her a black shirt, because he could see the pink of her hardened nipples through the shirt.
“Where did your clothes go?” he asked then.
He noticed that the question unnerved her a bit. She began to clutch at her stomach. He heard her mutter, “I don’t know” and realized that she had probably been too drunk to remember.
He thought to himself that the memory charm he uses would help her to recount the things she has forgotten for the past two days. Without realizing that she would remember the incident in the hallway, he instructed her on how to use it.
~~
Hermione repeated the words to the charm without any difficulty.
She was surprised when she began reliving a walk down the hallway from two days ago. As it ended she realized that Snape didn’t know about it, as Dumbledore had erased his memory of the event as well. She suddenly found herself very grateful to Dumbledore. She didn\'t have long to think about it however, as she began to recall other things soon after.
She remembered a few interesting facts from her History of Magic class that she had forgotten and then what happened last night began to replay in her mind.
She felt hands pull the hair out of her mouth and face and tie it back. She felt a soft, warm, cloak placed over her shoulders and she felt strong arms holding her.
