Betrayed

None of the characters are mine, they belong to J K Rowling

The look of shock on her face was priceless, Snape thought. Here were so many ways he could have phrased that question, but he was glad he’d been blunt about it. He was genuinely curious about the answer. Part of his mind hoped she was, then he would have the knowledge of being her first, and teach her to enjoy what he liked. Another part of his mind hoped she wasn’t, as he would have to be very careful. He eagerly waited for her answer.

Hermione licked her lips. Once the initial shock had worn off, she felt she could answer his question.

“I’m…not a virgin,” she blushed and lowered her gaze to the floor as she said this. It was one thing talking to it about close friends in the girl’s dormitories at Hogwarts, but another thing entirely to tell a person who was very recently your snarky professor.

Snape hissed, and used his hand underneath her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Who was it? Who did you lose your virginity to?” His voice was low and menacing.

“Hermione blushed deeper this time. “N..Neville, Master.”

“That imbecile? I thought he was gay. Does he even know what to do with a woman?” Snape sneered, looking with contempt at Hermione.

His remarks caused Hermione to flare in anger. “He’s a sweet, lovely boy, who’s very kind. He’d do anything for his friends.”

Severus’s eyes narrowed. “Really. If you aren’t a virgin, however, it just means I don’t have to worry about hurting you quite so much. It will still hurt, trust me. I will make you hurt, purely because I could not have your innocence. I hope that you will thank Neville for the extra pain he has forced you to endure, should you ever see him again.”

Hermione gulped. She had no idea this man she formerly trusted was so evil!

“Now then, I’d like to briefly address another matter, before we get to,” Snape paused, “business.”

“So far, your memory has been satisfactory. Except for when you last opened your mouth. You regrettably did not recall my title within these walls.”

In her head, Hermione cursed. Damn him and all these rules. What did it matter if she called him Master or not? They both knew who was in control, and that the positions weren’t going to be reversed anytime soon.

“Look, we may both know who is in charge, but I like to be reminded of that fact. You will regret it if you do not remember my title, and I may find somebody to punish you. I hear Draco has inherited the love of some of his father’s techniques in…persuasion. You forget, that I am a Legimens, and your mind is very open and vulnerable. I can see how scared you are of the Malfoys, both junior and senior. Remember that should I ever find fault with you, it is their mercy I will leave you at.” Severus smiled to himself, knowing his threat would work wonders, making sure she was almost perfectly obedient, doing everything he would ask of her.

The images running through Hermione’s mind were defiantly not pleasant. She stared at Severus, trying to work out how serious he was being. She realised he was deadly serious, and vowed to do her best to please him. She had heard stories of Lucius’s methods of persuasion… Usually involving rape and torture, often ending in death, unless Lucius got the answers he wanted.

Her voice was very subdued. “It won’t happen again, Master.”

Snape grinned. “Good. Now, how are you feeling?”

The change in conversation topic surprised Hermione slightly, especially since he was now asking about her welfare. She answered as best she could.

“My body aches, my limbs are sore and my head is pounding, but other than that, I seem to be alright, Master,” she replied with an edge of caution to her voice.

“Here, drink this,” Snape got a bottle from his robes, and placed it in her hands. It was small, and looked turquoise. Hermione examined it briefly before downing it. Usually, Moody’s warning of ‘constant vigilance’ would echo inside her head, but she didn’t think Snape would harm her. He seemed to want her reasonably willing.

Snape looked on as Hermione swallowed the potion he’d made for her. It was a reasonably strong healing spell, modified so she would not fall asleep too soon after taking it, to which he had added a few drops of Veritasium.

“How do you feel now?”

Hermione thought about this for a few seconds before answering. “I feel…fine. My headache has cleared, and my body feels fine, Master.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, what on Earth made you sleep with Neville?” This bit of information had shocked Snape somewhat, especially as all of the teachers had assumed Neville to be homosexual.

“I do mind you asking, actually. I knew the chances of being caught by death eaters were increasing each day, and had heard about some of the things that happened at Dark Revels. I knew that I did not want to be a virgin if I was captured, and went to Neville for assistance. He was willing to help, and confided in me about his bisexuality, Master.”

“Why Neville, why not Potter or Weasley?” Snape was curious as to why Hermione had gone to Neville, and not the dunderheads she was attached to.

“Harry and Ron were like brothers to me. I’m sure they would have helped me with my problem, but I’m not sure our friendship would have survived. Thing’s are a bit different now with Ron, but back then the thought of seeing either one of them naked didn’t appeal to me, and I’m sure seeing me naked wouldn’t have been on the top of their lists of things to do. Both of them have been so busy this year, with various things, and Neville is a lovely guy, always willing to help a damsel, or knight, in distress, Master.”

Snape thought about this for a moment. He could see where she was coming from, Dark Revels were not exactly nice for virgins, he supposed. Or non-virgins either. But here she was, sat in front of him, and would truthfully answer any question he asked. Well, for a little while longer, anyway.

“Hermione,” hearing her name come out of his mouth in Snape’s sexy low voice sent an involuntary shiver along Hermione’s body. “What are your true feelings about me?
