This chapter is the hardest thing I have ever written. It was not thought through beforehand. If you are easily up set then please don�t continue. I have not checked this chapter for mistakes. Please forgive any errors. Once written I could not bring myself to re-read it, and I do not have a beta.

Chapter 13
Friday dawned fresh, bright and dry. Nina awoke feeling well rested, although she could not remember getting into bed. She stretched and yawned as Kali came into the room.

�Miss is awake. You is looking well today, much better then last night.�

�Thank you Kali. I must have been tired. I don�t remember getting into bed.�

�You is not taking youself to bed Miss.� Kali told her grinning. �You is falling asleep on the Snape�s knee when he is stroking yous hair, he is putting you to bed.�

Nina sat up sharply and went vivid red. �I did what? He did what?�

�Oh yes. And then he is kissing you. Here, on you head.� Kali touched the spot where Severus kissed her the night before.

�He�.he kissed me? She asked the elf incredulously.

�Of course he is kissing you. He is loving you. He tells the Headmaster and he is telling Kali.� Kali was looking smug at revealing this piece of information to her. �is you having you shower now?�

Nina nodded and got out of bed. �He�d told them he loved her? Wow!�
Severus was pacing his study. He had been up since six o�clock. Once he had showered, dressed, had coffee, marked his third years Potions essays and prepared his lesson plan for today. Now all he needed to do was go for breakfast. �Should he call and see if Nina wished to accompany him? No. I should just go to breakfast. She will probably still be asleep anyway. I could call Kali and ask her if her Mistress is awake yet. No� He was not sure what he should do. If anything. He exited his study and was just warding his door when Nina came up to him.

�Morning.� She said shyly.

She was flushed. He thought she looked even more beautiful. �Good morning Miss Manohel.�

�What happened to Nina?�

�Pardon?�

�Why have you stopped calling me Nina? I like it better when you call me Nina.�

�As do I, but as I have already told you, it is common practice in this establishment to address everyone by their title.�

�Too posh and stuck up if you ask me.�

�I did not ask you. Nor is it �stuck up �or �posh� as you put it. Now come on. I am hungry.�

�Okay.� She practically skipped along beside him as he tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth from twitching. He was not succeeding.

�Do you think that you could manage to walk/�

�I am walking.�

�No. You are Not.�

�Yes I am.�

�No. You are�.bouncing, or something.�

She laughed. �Oh. Skipping.�

�Pardon?�

�Skipping. What I�m doing. It�s called skipping.�

�Well, whatever it is called would you please stop.�

They were entering the Great Hall now. �Why.�

Severus looked at her incredulously. �Because I have told you to stop, that is why. You are�.your�. are�.� He glanced quickly down at her breasts. �Bouncing.� He whispered.

Nina looked down at herself. She was wearing a snug fitting t-shirt and tight black jeans. �Oh!� She slowed back to a walk. Once again she was blushing.

He was glad when they reached the table. He held out her chair until she was seated and then sat himself down, pulling his own chair up to the table as far as he comfortably could. He had a hard on and did not want anyone to know. Especially Nina. He tried to turn his mind to other things, hoping it would go down, but he could not get the image of those bouncing breasts out of his mind, hence he just got harder. �Shit!�

He was not the only one. Quite a few male students had noticed Nina and her bouncing breasts. and most of those who had were also sporting good stiffs. Including Ron and Harry.

Fortunately Nina was blissfully unaware of the affect she�d had. The rest of the meal passed in relative normality. The occasional discomforted wriggles from the Potions Master and students going unnoticed.

After breakfast the students and staff left to go prepare for classes.

Nina left the hall and found herself alone. She wasn�t too sure what to do now. She didn�t want to spend the day in her rooms. Lovely as they were, she would still be on her own. Nor dare she venture outside. She had caused enough trouble last time. Maybe she could explore the castle. It was massive. There would loads of places to have a good snoop into. She went to the main staircase and had gone up about four steps when she realised they had started to move.

�Bugger!� Startled, she jumped off and stood at the bottom, watching as they changed position and settled themselves again. She was afraid to try and climb them again so she sat on the bottom one, elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. She felt lonelier than she had ever been.

That was how Draco Malfoy found her. He had a free period and was waiting for his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle so that they could go to the library to study. �Well, well. Hello again sweetness.�

Nina jumped up. Startled. She had not heard anyone approaching her.

�Hi! You made me jump. You okay?�

�Fine thank you. And yourself?�

�I�m alright I suppose?� He raised a questioning eyebrow to her. �I just don�t know what to do with myself. I can�t go out side without getting in bother. I can�t explore this place because�.because�.�

�Because what?� Draco asked.

�You�ll probably think I�m barmy when I tell you this but, well, the stairs.�

�What about the stairs?�

�They bloody well moved. Ok?�

He couldn�t help it. He laughed.

Nina pouted. �I told you you�d think I�m barmy.�

�No I don�t.� He laughed. �They do it all the time. It�s one of the quirks of this place. Did no one tell you?�

�No. They didn�t. I nearly messed my pants when I got on and they started to move.�

Draco was in hysterics by this time and Nina could not help joining in. That was how Crabbe and Goyle found them, almost rolling around on the stairs with tears of laughter rolling down their cheeks.

�What�s so funny?� Goyle asked.

Draco looked up at him, opened his mouth to speak, and burst into laughter again. The two thugs waited for them to calm down.

�Are we going to the library then?

�You two go. I am going to show Miss White here round the castle. The two boys gave them a puzzled look. They never went anywhere without Draco.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go on.

Once they had left Nina turned to Draco.

�You don�t have to stay with me you know.�

�I want to.�

�You do? Oh. I mean good. Thanks.�

Draco was having trouble still keeping a straight face as it was. His father had written to him telling him of the Dark Lords interest in this girl. He, Draco, had been given orders to befriend her and find out as much as he could about her. He did not know about her meeting with Voldemort, or what had transpired. Only that he had to report everything he could back to his father. The trouble was, he was beginning to like her. A lot.

�By the way, My name�s not Jane, its Nina. Nina Manohel.�

�But I thought ��

�Long story. I really don�t want to get into it now.�

�Come on then. I�ve got an hour to show you as much of this place as I can.�

With that he grabbed her hand and took off up the stairs. Pulling her behind him as he laughed and she giggled.

When they finally came back down to the Main Hall Draco told her. �I have class now, but I have enjoyed your company Nina.� And he meant it. He had never spent his time with anyone and genuinely liked them just for themselves. They had laughed and talked and laughed some more as he showed her different areas of the castle. He spoke a little about himself and she seemed genuinely interested. She even called him a �posh ponce� when she discovered that he came from a very rich and influential family. He didn�t know what a �posh ponce� was, and he was pretty sure that it was not good, but when she said it, it did not seem to matter. Not with her.

�I�ve had a great time. Thanks. It�s really been fun. You�re okay you know.�

She stood on her tip toes to give him a peck on the cheek to say thank you. She had taken him by surprise. As he turned his head towards her he got kissed on the lips instead.

Severus emerged from his classroom and was heading for the staff room just in time to see Nina, on tip toe and kissing Draco Malfoy. He froze.

�Mister Malfoy.� He bellowed.

They turned to see an enraged Potions Master glaring at them. They went bright red. The kiss had been totally innocent,but Severus did not know this.

�I suggest Mister Malfoy, That your free time be better employed studying. Not kissing in the school corridors.�

Draco jumped. �Yes Sir. Nina, look, I�m sorry but I�ve got to go.�

�Now, Mister Malfoy.�

Draco went. Quickly. He hated leaving her to deal with Snape on her own but he realy had had no choice.

Nina looked up at the Potions Master who was now standing in front of her. He was scowling deeply at her, his eyes cold as ice.
�Perhaps you would be better occupied elsewhere Miss Manohel.� he told her.

Then he hissed �It is not a practice at this school to act like a common slut.�

Nina could not believe what she was hearing. �Why could he say that? What had she done?� Before she had a chance to respond he had walked away. Leaving her standing there, confused and upset and not at all understanding what she had done to make him shout at her. �He had called her a slut. Why had he called her that? Why? It was just the same as Uncle Pete calling her a whore. They were the same thing weren�t they?�

She stood there. Staring at the empty space where only moments before, the only man she had ever cared about, ever trusted, the same man that had told her that it was not her fault what her Uncle had done to her, had told her that she was, after all, a slut. The tears that had been filling her eyes finally flowed over. She didn�t move, just stood with her arms by her sides. Unable to stop the tears as they fell down her cheeks and dropped to the floor. �He had lied to her. He had told her that he loved her, but he had lied. Why did he do that?�

Severus got as far as the staff room door when he realised what he had done. What he had said to her. He had let his temper get the better of him. He was a very possessive man. What was his remained his. And he considered Nina to be his now. �Shit!� But he had been angry. �What the Hell was she playing at kissing a boy? Worse, kissing a boy where anybody could have seen them. And somebody had. Him. And why Malfoy of all people? She was supposed to be his. And he did not share what was his.� �Damn it all to Hell.� he muttered, turning to go back and have it out with her.

What he saw broke his heart.

Nina hadn�t moved. She was just standing quietly where he left her, staring at nothing, tears rolling down her face and a look of total despair on her face. Like a child who had been punished but did not know what crime it had committed.

�Nina?�

Her head whipped round.

�Nina. I �� He did not get chance to say more.

Her face and eyes took on a look of absolute terror as she backed away from him.

�Oh God. He had come back. What was he going to do?

�Please. Don�t.� Her voice was small and trembling. She no longer saw Severus. She saw Uncle Pete. He was coming towards her. Telling her what a dirty little whore she was. How he was going to punish her, then fuck her. Oh and she should be so grateful that he was willing to fuck her because she was just so damned ugly. An ugly dirty whore.

�Gods.� Severus thought. �What had he done to her.�

�Nina don�t be� �

She turned and ran. Ran as fast as she could, back to her rooms before he could say anything else. Before he could get to her and hurt her.

Now it was Severus; turn to be devastated. He knew he had just undone all the hard work he had put in to gain her trust and earn her affection. Now she was more frightened of him than that first night when she thought he was a vampire. �How the Hell do I make things right now?� He was just about to go to her rooms and make her listen to him when the bell rang for next class. He knew he could not miss class. He would have to speak to her later. Make her listen. Hope she would understand. �Hell, why should she. He wouldn�t if it were him. He had just screwed up the best thing that had ever happened to him.

He headed off for class.

At lunch the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw fifth years were complaining about the potions class they had just had. The two houses had lost four hundred and thirty points between them. Two hundred and forty five from Hufflepuff and one hundred and eighty five from Ravenclaw. He had taken points for breathing too loud, blinking, not paying attention, paying too much attention. A Hufflepuff girl lost forty points because her hair was the wrong colour. Harry, Ron and Hermione had potions after lunch and after hearing what the others were saying they knew that something must have happened.

Hermione looked at her two friends. �Nina's not here. I�m going to see her. See if I can find out what is going on.�

�Wait on then, we�ll come with you.�

�No Ron. I think it might be best if I go on my own.�

�Why?�

�Just trust me. Alright. I�ll see you both at potions.�

Severus watched from under his lashes as the Granger girl got up and left the Hall. �Bloody know-it-all�s probably on her way to stick her nose into something that is not her business.� Well she would not find anything out from Nina. He had already been to her rooms when class ended. He had knocked on the door and stroked the horn on the Unicorn that adorned it, but the door would not open. He had tried every spell he knew to open the bloody door but it would not budge. Kali had eventually popped into view and told him �The Miss is not up to visitors� before popping out again. He did not think Miss Granger would have any more luck then he had. �Damn it all to Hell� He thought.

Hermione arrived at Nina�s rooms and knocked on the door. When she did not get an answer she tried again. �Nina. Nina are you in there. Please answer. It�s Hermione. I just want to know if your alright.�
She waited and knocked again. �Please Nina. You don�t have to tell me anything if you don�t want to, but I know something is wrong. I only want to help you. I thought we were friends.�

The door opened to reveal Kali. �Oh Miss Hermione. Kali is not knowing what to do. Please help Miss Nina.�

Hermione stepped into the living room and looked around for Nina. �Where is she?�

Kali pointed over to the corner of the room. In the shadows she could just make out the shape of her friend sat huddled on the floor. Her arms were wrapped tightly round her legs and her face was tearstained. But her eyes, Hermione noticed as she got close enough to see her clearly. Her eyes were wild and fearful, searching, as if she expected some monster to jump from nowhere and attack her. �Nina� Hermione spoke softly to the girl. �Nina, what happened? Please let me help you.� She crouched down in front of her.

�Not Nina, Jane, Can�t. Can�t help. He�ll come you know. He�.He�ll come back and take me. You should go. He might get you too. I don�t know.�

�Who Nina? Who is coming?�

�Not Nina. Not Nina. Jane. Jane.Jane.Jane.Jane.Jane. He�ll be here soon.� Suddenly Nina grabbed Hermione by the arms. Don�t let him come. Send him away. If he comes I�ll never get away again.�

Hermione was scared now. She didn�t know how to deal with this. �Ni�.Jane. Tell me who is coming.�

Nina was whispering now. �Uncle Pete of course. He�ll take me again you know. 'Look, here she is.' he'll say. 'I�ve brought the whore. Told ye I would'.�

Hermione managed to get out of Nina�s grip. She looked at the elf who was perched on the edge of a chair, wringing her hands. �Well she wont be any help. �Jane, I am going to gat someone to help you. I�ll be right back. Don�t move okay. Stay where you are.�

�He�s out there you know. I saw him. He�s looking for me. Please don�t let him find me.�

�I wont. I promise.� Hermione ran to the door and was just about to go through it when she stopped. She grabbed her school bag from the floor where she dropped it when she arrived and put it against the door jamb. Hopefully she would be able to get back in. Running as fast as she could she reach the Great Hall. Pausing for only a moment to try and catch her breath and compose herself she went in.

As soon as Harry and Ron saw her they called. �Hey, Hermione. Did you see her?�

She ignored them and walked straight up to the head table, keeping her gaze on Professor Snape all the time.

When Severus saw her enter he knew immediately that something was wrong. So did most of the staff.

�Professor Snape.� She panted. �Please you have to come. Now!�

Severus did not wait for an explanation. He knew it was Nina who was in trouble. He had felt it all morning. He got up from his seat so fast that his chair fell over with a crash. He didn�t care. He left it and literally ran from the Hall, not caring what kind of an impression he was making, Hermione hot on his heels.

As they neared the dungeons Hermione called to him. �Professor. Professor wait, please.� Severus slowed but he did not stop. �I have to tell you something before you go in there. Please stop for a moment.�

�Severus stopped and turned to her. �What is it Miss Granger?� He hissed.

Hermione did not flinch. �Sir, if you run go barging in there like this you�ll only scare her more.�

�More. What are you talking about?�

�She is cowering in a corner terrified. She told me that someone was coming for her. Uncle Pete I think she said. She said he�s here. She�s seen him. She said he�.that he�.and she said her name is Jane. Not Nina, Jane. She keeps saying that.� Hermione could not bring herself to say what Nina had told her. It was just too horrible.

They had reached Nina�s rooms. Miss Granger. I think it would be best if you were to enter first. I will follow and keep back until she knows that you are there.�

Hermione nodded. Severus heard footsteps and stuck his head back out of the door. �Headmaster. I thought you would come. Please would you go to my stores and get me a calming draught. I think it would be best if you did not enter Miss Manohel�s rooms just yet.�

Albus did not take offence when Severus sent him on this errand. He knew his Potions master was doing what he thought best for the young woman inside.

Severus noticed Miss Grangers bag, strategically placed to keep the door from closing. �Clever girl� He thought.

Hermione slowly approached Nina in the corner and sat down in front of her. �Jane, I�m back. Just as I promised. Everything is going to be fine now. I have brought someone to help you.�

Nina grabbed Hermione�s arms painfully in a vive like grip. �Did you see him? You haven�t told him where I am have you? He�s looking for me you know.�

�No. No I didn�t see him but if I do I wont let him near you. I promise I wont.�

�He promised too you know. He promised and he said he loved me. But he lied. He said he would keep me safe but he lied. He brought him here you know.�

Hermione was getting confused now. �Who brought him N�.Jane? Who brought Uncle Pete?�

�The vampire of course.�

�What vampire? We don�t have vampires at Hogwarts.� She told in what she hoped was a reassuring voice.

�He�s not a real one. I just call him that. I trusted him. He said he loved me and I believed him. I loved him and he lied to me. He brought Uncle Pete and now he�ll take me and it will happen all over again. I�I cant do this any more. Please don�t let him. Please.�

Nina�s grip loosed on Hermione�s arms. She could see that the girl was exhausted. �Its alright Jane. Really it is.

Severus, still standing in the shadows, was overwhelmed. He could feel his own tears falling down his cheeks. He had done this to her. Him. All this had been lying just beneath the surface of her psyche, fragile, ready to break. And he had been the one to wield the swort and break it. It had not had not had chance to heal properly before he had crushed it in his hand like a piece of delicate crystal.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see who it was. The Headmaster stood, holding two bottles. A calming draught and a bottle of dreamless sleep. He had obviously heard most of what was going on. He pressed the bottles into Severus� hand. He knew that Albus had heard most of what was said between Nina and Hermione. �I will be in my office if you need me Severus.� Severus nodded in thanks and the Headmaster left. It was time for him to make his move.

Slowly he edged his way into the room. Closing the door quietly behind him. He didn�t want her to bolt out of the door suddenly. He noticed Kali perched on a chair mumbling to herself. Hermione was rubbing Nina�s arms, muttering nonsense to try and keep her calm. �Miss Granger� he thought. �You are a bloody marvel. Working his way toward them, keeping close to the wall instead of looming up on her he spoke quietly. �I did not lie Nina.�

Her head shot up in fear. She began to tremble and Severus stilled. �I did not lie to you Nina.�

Nina saw him and screamed. She screamed and screamed until her voice had gone hoarse. �Not Nina. Not Nina. And then she wailed and tried to crawl away from him. Scrabbling at the floor to get purchase. Terror making her frantic. �Nooo� she yelled at him. You brung him didn�t you? You brung him. And now he�ll do it again and again and he won�t stop. Where are you hiding him? You promised you wouldn�t let him get me. Why? Why?

She had reached the far corner of the room and could go no further because of the large dresser in the way.

Hermione sat on the floor where Nina had left her, not sure if she should do anything or not, really hoping that Snape knew what he was doing. She watched as the Potions Master very slowly made his way closer and closer to Nina. Watched as he went down on his knees and crawled towards her on all fours. Hermione noticed he did not have his cape on. He must have taken it off when he came in.

Finally Severus reached her. He did not try to touch her. Instead he sat down in front of her as she huddles in the corner rocking back and forth. Each time she rocked back her head struck the stone wall, hitting it a little bit harder each time. She was hugging her knees and muttering under her breath as she rocked. She was slamming her head against the wall now. Severus was getting desperate. He had to stop her. �Nina.� He said softly. Nina look at me.�

She screamed at him again. �JANEJANEJANEJANEJANE.�

Hermione looked on wide eyed, too afraid herself now to do anything.

Severus knew Nina was lost inside herself. He would not be able to reason with her no matter how hard he tried. He made his move and grabbed Nina, pulling her onto his lap and wrapping his arms tightly around her, keeping her arms pinned to her sides as he wrapped his legs around hers to try and stop her struggling.

All the time she was screaming at him. �NONONONONONONO!�

She was stronger than she looked and he knew he had to do something quick before she remembered she could Apperate out of here. �Miss Granger, come here quick. Hermione scrambled over. My left jacket pocket. Two bottles. He was panting with the effort if holding Nina now.

Hermione put her hand into his pocket and pulled out two bottles. �Calming draught first?�

�Yes.� Gods he was glad that this girl listened in class. �You will have to give it to her. Just a minute.� Making sure that he still had her arms pinned down with one of his he used his other hand to grip her jaw and prised her mouth open. She was making strangled cries. �Now, pour it down the back of her throat.�

Hermione was shaking all over now and sobbing, but to her credit she opened the phial and with an amazingly steady hand, poured the contents into Nina�s mouth. Severus snapped her mouth closed and Hermione gently rubbed Nina�s throat to make her swallow, all the time hating the accusing look that she was getting from Nina and hating Snape for making her do this and hating herself because she knew she had to.

As Hermione sat back and cried the potion began to do it�s job. Nina slowly started to relax. Severus did not relax his grip yet though. He wanted to be absolutely certain that she was calm before he did.

�Miss Granger.� Hermione looked up at him, trying to control the soughs that were wracking her but she was not succeeding.

�Ye�.Ye�.Yes Profess�.essor.�

�You did very well. I have to confess, I am very proud of you.�

Hermione looked at him amazed.

�But if you ever tell anyone I said that I shall deny it.� He was actually smiling as he spoke.

�Th�.ank y�.ou S�.ir.�

Nina had finally calmed and Severus was able to relax his hold on her.

Severus stood up awkwardly and lifted Nina in his arms, cradling her as he made his way to her bedroom once again. �Miss Granger. Your assistance would again be greatly appreciated.� She nodded and followed them through to the bedroom.

He laid her gently down on the bed. Hermione went to the bottom of the bed and began to remove Nina�s shoes. She looked up at Snape. �Sir.� He turned his head toward her. �You have blood on you.�

He peered down at himself to see that blood was smeared all down the front of his jacket. �Her head. He forgotten for a moment that she had been banging her head back against the wall repeatedly. Noticing that the pillow under Nina�s head was also becoming stained with blood he turned once again to Hermione. �Miss Granger, I need to go to my rooms and collect some items. Will you be alright on your own with her for a few minutes? The calming potion will continue to work for quite a while so there should not be any problems.�

�It�s fine Sir. Just go and do what you have to.� She walked up to sit on the side of the bed and took hold of Nina�s hand. Severus hesitated for a moment �Do not use any magic.� he told her and left.

Hermione sat and stoked the girls hand. She knew that if she or Snape used magic now, that Nina would probably remember that she could also do it. Who knew what she might do in this state. They were both a lot calmer now. Nina was awake and Hermione realised she was looking at her. �Nina, please be alright.� she told her softly.� Nina did not answer. She just stared at Hermione with a hurt and haunted expression in her eyes. �No one will hurt you Nina. You are safe now. Truly safe. The Professor has gone to fetch some healing potions for your head. It�s bleeding. He will be back soon.�

Nina�s eyes flickered at those last words. Fear showing through.

�He is not going to harm you Nina. I think that he really does care for you. Please trust him.� Hermione already knew that Snape was a spy for the Order. She knew that he risked his life regularly to try and gain information that could be useful for the Order. And she was pretty certain he felt more than just a passing affection for this girl beside her. This girl that seemed to have gone through horrors in her life that was beyond her own psyche to imagine.

Severus came back into the bedroom carrying a small wooden chest which he placed on the bedside.

Hermione climbed off the bed to let him do his work and heal Nina.

It did not take long. Ten minutes later Nina�s head was healed and he had given her the dreamless sleep. �Miss Granger. Would you be so kind as to change her into something more�.suitable for bed. I shall wait in the other room. It is safe to use your wand now.�

�Yes Sir.�

Once the Potions Master left the room Hermione found a clean nightgown in one of the drawers and �Divesto�d Nina�s clothing. Casting a few scourgefies she then waved her wand again to dress her in the gown and went to fetch the professor. He was sitting on one of the armchairs near the fire, his hands over his face.

�Sir?� He turned towards her. �Would you like to come back through? I did not want to risk levitating her to pull down the covers. I haven�t actually tried it on a human and I, well, I might hurt her.�

�Miss Granger. I believe that you are one of the few that can do anything you put your mind to.� He gave her a small smile before he got up and headed into the bedroom. Very gently he lifted the sleeping girl in his arms and Hermione pulled back the covers. He laid her back down just as gently and covered her up.

�Will she be alright? I mean, I don�t understand what happened Sir.�
