Chapter 17 Demons and Broomsticks.
Nina stretched and opened her eyes to sunlight streaming into the room and across her face. She squeezed her eyes tight shut for a moment, temporally blinded before turning her head away from the window and opening them again. Them she closed and opened them again. ‘Oh oh.’ She blinked a couple of times. ‘This isn’t my room. This isn’t my bed. What have I done now? Who’s room is this?’ Pushing the covers back to find herself still dressed but with no shoes she got up and tip toed to the door.
Trying to be as quiet as she could she pulled it open to see¾
‘clothes? Men’s clothes?’ It was a closet. Panicked slightly she peered back to the bed. ‘Nobody else in there.’ She made her way to the next door and was about to open it when she heard a growl.
She froze with her hand on the doorknob, listening. Another growl. Wondering what was at the other side of the door, but afraid to look she waited. Another growl came followed quickly by a snort.
‘That’s not growling, it’s snoring. Loud snoring. Bugger!’
She turned the handle slowly so as not to make a noise and pulled the door open a crack. Not able to see anyone she sidled into the room and looked around. This room she recognised. It was vampires rooms.
‘Please don’t tell me I have just slept in his bed.’
As she neared the sofa but was looking back towards the bedroom door Severus let out another mighty snore.
“Aaah!” She could not help the small scream that escaped her as she almost jumped out of her skin.
The same scream that startled Severus awake and caused him to tumble off the sofa and onto the floor with a thump. “Ooof! What the….” He got to his hands and knees. “Bloody Hell.”
It had hurt when he landed. But not as much as his pride when he looked up at the sound of giggles, to see Nina peering down at him with her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle them.”
He was disgruntled. He did not like being woken up suddenly at the best of times, but, being a very non-morning person and falling flat on his face in front of a giggling woman only made it worse.
“What the bloody hell did you scream for?” He was trying to untangle himself from the blanket.
“You scared me.”
“I beg to differ.” He growled finally fighting off the cover by kicking it with his legs and making her laugh even harder.
“You did. You made a really loud snore.”
“I do NOT SNORE!”
“Yes you do. Loud growling snores.”
“I do not.”
“You do. I should know. You were asleep and I was awake and I heard you so there. I thought there was a wild animal in here before you fell of the sofa. Seems I was right.” She was laughing uncontrollably now. “Why you cheeky little….”
Severus had stood up to give her a piece of his mind when he noticed her gaze travel down his body and stop midway as she reddened. Her laughter stopped and her smile disappeared.
He looked down at himself to see that his pyjama bottoms were extremely tented from his morning hard on.
Nina began to back away, fear in her eyes.
“Nina.” He said as he grabbed the blanket from the floor and covered himself with it. “Don’t. Don’t be afraid. It’s not what you think.”
Nina was still backing off as she stared to where his erection was now hidden.
He could see the fear in her eyes.
“Please. Do not be afraid of me. I am only going to the bathroom.”
He was telling her what he was going to do in the hope that she would not panic when he started to walk around d the sofa. ‘Why hadn’t he taken her back to her own rooms last night? He was a bloody fool.’
Nina had come to a stop only because she had backed herself up against the wall. She had one hand over her mouth and the other was between her legs, as if trying to protect what was there. She was still staring at him, trembling visibly.
Severus made it to the bathroom and told her “I shall be back in a few minutes, Do not do anything. Just….just wait here. You are safe. Just don’t go ….Apperating or something. Please Nina.” ‘Gods please don’t let her do another disappearing act. How would he explain it to Albus?’
He ran to the loo and peed, it seemed to take forever. He did not even bother with a shower, just a quick wash and then he peeped back into the study to make sure that she was still there. She was. He let out a breath that he had not realised he was holding as he dashed into his bedroom. He spelled his clothes on and went to the door.
“I am coming back into the study now.” He called through the door.
There was no reply so he was wary as he re-entered. Worried that she had gone, his eyes darted around the room. Once again he let out a long breath. She was still there, staring at the spot she had last seen him.
“Nina.”
Her head whipped round to him. She looked puzzled for a moment as she realised that he was back in the room with her but fully clothed.
“Nina? Are you alright?”
She looked up at him. “I….I….was….I”
“You were frightened. Once again, I must apologise. But you must believe that I would never hurt you intentionally. And I would never, ever do anything to you against your will. Not ever.”
Nina had already relaxed a tiny bit when she had seen that the Potions Master was dressed.
“No of course you….ever….no….you. Why was…. Here….bedroom?” She indicated to the bedroom with her hand. She did not seem able to string her sentences together so she closed her mouth with a snap. She looked at her toes feeling and stupid.
‘What was wrong with her. If he had been going to do anything then he could have, would have done it by now. He’d had ample opportunity while she had been asleep in his bed. But he had slept out here. On the sofa.’
She looked up at him again. He too seemed uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry.“ She blurted.
Severus was a bit taken aback. “What for?”
“For being such an idiot.”
“You are certainly not an idiot. Nina. Please, come and sit down. Let me order us some breakfast and we can talk. Once I have had some coffee I may be able to talk some sense myself.”
He pointed his wand at the sofa and transfigured it into a table and two dining chairs before he went to the floo to order breakfast.
“What would you like?”
“Erm, Just a glass of milk please.” She didn’t feel much like eating.
Severus made his request to the kitchens and sat down, indicating for Nina to sit as well.
When breakfast arrived moments later they both had a large plate of bacon, eggs, sausage,, tomato’s and a stack of toast each. Nina stared incredulous.
“They’ve made a mistake and brought me somebody else’s breakfast.”
“No they have not. I ordered it for you.”
“But I didn’t want….”
”You have to eat. Besides, I happen to know that you enjoy eating every bit as much as I. Maybe even more.“ He raised an eyebrow at her and she smiled a bit before tucking in to her food.
She had not realised how hungry she was. They sat in silence until both of their plates were clean, Nina had finished her milk and Severus had poured his third cup of coffee.
Now that they had finished Severus decided that they needed to talk. As soon as he had sent the empty dishes away he re-transfigured the table and chairs back to a sofa and sat himself down in one of the armchairs..
“Come and sit down Nina. I need to explain some thing to you.”
Once she was settled herself in the chair opposite to him she gave him her full but wary attention.
Severus was not too sure how to go about this so he fussed about for a little while, straightening his jacket, coughing, poking the fire even though it did not need it.
“Would you like a drink sending up from the kitchens Nina.”
“No thanks.”
“Some thing to eat perhaps?”
“Your kidding right? We’ve just had breakfast.“
“Quite. Quite.”
“So?”
“Pardon?”
“What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Right. Well.”
Nina was fidgeting and getting bored. “Please Professor. What is the matter?”
Severus was sweating and ran his finger around the inside of his collar. ‘Bloody Hell, this was not easy. Especially one to one with a woman.‘ “Nina. When a man and a woman are….ahh….when they want to….be intimate.” ‘Their, he had said it.’ They….it….it does not ….when they both want….Oh Bugger.”
Nina was getting redder and redder. “Err sir.”
“Yes, you have a question.” ‘Phew!’
“Are you trying to tell me about” She studded her hands as she twiddled her fingers. “Sex? Sir”
“Yes. Kind of.”
“I already know about it.” She looked a bit miserable when she said this.”
“No you do not. You know about….Rape. It is an entirely different thing.”
“Huh?”
He sighed. “Nina, what you have been forced to do was not normal. What your Uncle did to you was not normal.”
“You think I don’t know that?“ She spat at him. “You think I’m not ashamed of it? You think I enjoyed it? Well I’ll tell you I do know. And yes. Yes I am ashamed. I let him. Don’t you understand. I let him do those dirty, dirty things to me. Each time he told me how lucky I was that he would be willing to touch me because I am a dirty, ugly whore. And NO, I did not enjoy it. I hated it. Every time he did it to me I hated it. Even when he took me to those other men, I still hated it. I will always hate it. But I still let him.” She sobbed. “Is that what you wanted to hear? Is that what you wanted to know?” She asked him.
Severus was stunned for a moment.
“No Nina. You did not let him. You had no choice. Don’t you see that. You have nothing, absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. You were but a child. A little girl who knew no other life but the one that you were forced into. You did not ask him to do those things to you. You begged him not to and were punished the more for it. And nor are you ugly, or dirty or a whore.” He took a few breaths to carry on. “Nina. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met. You are kind, and gentle. You do not have a bad bone in your body. Everyone here likes you. I like you.”
She looked up at him, her face stained with tears, her cheeks red and blotchy.
“Nina. When I look at you, I see goodness, and honesty. Openness and beauty and love. And I love you all the more for it. Don’t you see? What happened with your uncle, he was the one in the wrong. Not you. When two people love each other, it is not like that. It is pure, and good, and sensual. It is not about giving pain. It is about showing someone how much you love and care for them. It is about sharing that love.”
He reached out to her, his arms outstretched. He wanted to pull her to him and hold her. He wanted to make her feel safe, More importantly, he wanted to make her feel safe with him. He was afraid of frightening her but also afraid that she would turn away.
But Nina did not turn away. She lifted her hands to his. They were trembling along with her whole body as she put her hands into his.
“Nina.” He whispered. Please, do not be afraid of me.”
With a loud sob she flew into his arms. He pulled her onto his lap and held her against him. His arms wrapped around her, comforting her as she cried and cried, letting out more of her demons.
Severus did not know how long they stayed that way. His arms began to ache and he started to loose the feeling in his right leg but he did not care.. She was here in his arms. She was where she belonged. With him.
When her sobs eventually subsided into soft hiccoughs she began to stir. Severus thought that she had fallen asleep at one point, but he was wrong.
Nina had been thinking about all of the things that he had told her. All of them spinning and whirling through her mind at great speed until they eventually began to slow and take on some semblance of order in her brain.
“S…so it rea…really wasn’t m…my f…fault?“ She asked him. Unable to help the sloughing as she spoke.
“Never my love. Never.” He whispered gently into her hair.
She looked up at him. “I must lo…look a right si…sight.” She told him.
“You look beautiful to me. You shall always look beautiful to me.” He kissed her gently on the forehead as he relaxed his hold on her.
“Can I us your bathroom please?”
“My rooms and I are always at your disposal Madam.”
She could not help a small chuckle when she heard him call her Madam.
Severus smiled at her. “Go on. My shoulder and jacket are already soaked. I do not want to have to change my trousers as well just because you could not get to the bathroom in time.”
Her eyes went wide when he said that.
“OH! You….” She grinned a little as she jumped up and slapped him lightly on the arm.
He frowned and held the place where she had struck him, putting a pained look on his face. ” You would wound me Madam?”
She laughed and ran to the bathroom before she really did have an accident.
He knew it was not the end of things for her. A nightmare like she had lived did not go away after one conversation. There would be other times when she would need to talk and cry. Get more of the whole sorry mess that had been her childhood, out of her system and once more start again. But he was willing to travel that road with her. No matter where or how far it took them.
Severus headed to the bedroom to change his shirt and jacked. When he re-entered his study, Nina was curled up on the sofa. She had washed her face and her hair looked as if it had been brushed.
The small table in front of her had coffee, tea, pumpkin juice, a glass of milk, a pile of biscuits, toast, various kinds of cakes, sandwiches of beef, cheese and pickle, ham and tomato, egg and cress (which he hated) and chicken with lettuce and mayonnaise..
He sat beside her and raised his eyebrows. “Are we expecting company?”
Giving him a shy smile she shook her head. “I wasn’t sure what you would want so I asked Kali to brink everything.” The milk is mine though.” She added seriously.
It was Severus’ turn to laugh. “Fine. You have the milk. I suppose that I shall just have to do with what’s left.” He sighed.
“Oh you.”
“Don’t you dare to strike me again.” He told her. “I shall probably be bruised for a month.
Laughing and eating at the same time was rather messy so they were both in quite a sorry state by the time that they had finished.
“You need a bib.” She laughed.
“I do not.” He said standing up to brush his clothes down.
“Yes you do. You have mayonnaise on your jacket and your nose.”
“Shit.” He mumbled, trying to wipe it of and keep his dignity at the same time. It wasn’t working. “And you my dear, have pickle on your lap and a milky moustache. Oh and you also have something green stuck in your teeth.”
“I what?” She ran back to his bathroom as Severus gave up trying to rub the mayo off his jacket and went to get yet another change of clothes.
This time instead of his usual robes he came out wearing black slacks and a black shirt with a bootlace tie. He had also tied his hair back at the nape of his neck.
Nina did a double take when she saw him. “Wow!” ‘He looked hot.’
“What is wow? He asked her looking down at himself wondering what was wrong.
“Wow is…wow. You look good like that.” Then she went pink. ‘Damn. I wish I could stop blushing all the time.’
Severus was surprised. No one had ever told him that before.
“Thank you. Ah. And you too look very nice I must admit.” He looked her over carefully. “Well more then nice actually.”
Nina had not been able to gat the pickle stain from her jeans so she had changed them the same way she change anything now. Just by wanting it. She was wearing chocolate brown tailored slacks, beige court shoes with a one inch heel and a caramel coloured, v-necked sweater. Her hair was also in a pony tail at the base of her neck.
The truth was that Severus thought she looked drop dead gorgeous.
“Would the lady care to go for a stroll?”
“I’m no lady, but yes , I would.”
“To me, you are and always will be a lady.”
Severus showed her around the grounds of Hogwarts. He took her all the way around the lake and along the edge of the Forbidden Forest, they stopped and talked to Hagrid for a little while and giant wizard was delighted to see her. He showed her a cage full of Puffskeins. Nina thought that they were lovely. He took them out back to show her his one remaining Blast ended Skrewt. Nina thought it was horrid but she didn’t say so because Hagrid seemed to love the creature.
They went on to the greenhouses. Professor sprout was there, up to her elbows in something that she told Nina was dragon dung.
“You’re kidding me right?” She asked the plump cheery Professor.
“Oh no dear. dragon dung is wonderful stuff you know.”
“No. I…I mean are there really dragons here? Where are they?”
“We do not have dragons at Hogwarts Nina.” Severus told her. Professor Sprout has it sent over from Romania. There is a dragon reserve there.”
Nina wasn’t too sure whether to believe them or not.
As they left the greenhouses Severus suggested that she ask one of the Weasley’s. “Their older brother Charlie works with the dragons at the reserve.”
Nina decided she would ask Ginny the next time she saw her. Dragons indeed.
“And this is our Quiddich pitch.”
Nina looked around and saw a large expanse of grass with raised seating all around it.
“Where’s the goal posts?”
“The what?”
“The goal posts. Or the nets or wickets or whatever? And why are the seats so high up?””
Severus did not know what possible use goal posts, nets or wickets could have on a Quiddich pitch, or even what they were for.
“The seats are high up so that we are closer to the players and can see the game better.”
Up there? Wouldn’t we see more from down here, nearer to the ground?”
“Not when the game is played up there we wont.” Severus pointed up and when Nina followed the direction that his finger was pointing she gulped.
“Up there. Are you serious?”
“Of course.. See those three hoops at either end? The players have to get the quaffle through those.”
“How on earth is anyone supposed to get a ‘what? Calfell?’ through those things? There miles high.” She frowned at him as if he was nuts.
“On brooms of course. And its called a quaffle.”
Now she knew he was taking the Mick out of her and she cracked out laughing. “Brooms. Ha Ha. Yeah. Sure.”
Severus scowled at her, took hold of her hand and dragged more then led her to a long building behind one of the stands.
“Wait here.”
He disappeared through a door at the side of the building and re-emerged a few seconds later with a broomstick.
“What’s That?” She giggled.
“A broom.”
“Right. So what are you going to do? Sweep the grass or something?” She was holding her sides now at the sight of this tall dark scowling man standing there holding what she considered to be a sweeping brush.
“Get on.” He growled.”
“What?”
“I said get on.“
“Give over.” She told him.
Severus was looking cross now and Nina could still not stop her chuckling.
He put his leg over the broomstick and grabbed her arm as he pulled her to him roughly. Gripping the handle tightly with one hand he forced her into a sitting position in front of him so that she was side saddle. Her back against his arm that he was holding on with and his other arm around her waist.
She had stopped laughing because he had grabbed her so suddenly. But she did not have chance to scold him for it as his grip on her tightened and he leaned forward lightly.
Nina’s mouth opened wide in a silent scream as they shot up into the air at such a speed that Nina could not even take a breath. Or that could have been fear. Or both.
Severus smirked down at her. Her eyes were like saucers, her face was white and her mouth was wide open.
“You were saying?”
She didn’t answer. She couldn’t.
“You would do better if you closed your mouth and narrowed your eyes somewhat.”
Her mouth snapped shut but her eyes would not close. She wanted them to. But they just would not respond.
Severus had picked up speed and was flying in a such a manner that would have had all of the quiddich players staring at him in awe.
He knew that Nina was scared out of her wits but he was enjoying himself and he would not let her fall. This was a new kind of fear that he was giving her. Not the kind that she had experienced for most of her life. This was a good fear. A Thrill fear.
He flew straight up and levelled off, he spun around and around until she looked so dizzy he thought she might be sick. He slowed again to let her get her stomach back in control then he dived straight down. All the while loving the terrified expression on her face. ‘Gods I can be an evil bastard.’ He thought still grinning.
Nina was a funny shade of green now so he took them back down and landed carefully.
He climbed off and pulled Nina to her feet and letting her go so that he could put the broom away. Instead he ended up sitting on the ground and laughing so much that tears were literally streaming down his face.
When he had let go of Nina she had totally lost her equilibrium. She didn’t know which way was up, which way was down and she was staggering and weaving about like a child that had been holding a pole and had run round and round and round before letting go. He watched her through teary eyes as she tried with all her might to walk in a straight line. But all she ended up doing was veering to the right and crashing into the stands before falling onto her knees.
Severus was worried that he was going to pee himself if he did not stop laughing soon. He pulled at his aching cheeks with his fingers, trying to pull his face into order and stop himself from laughing when he looked back up in time to see her struggle onto her hands and knees and fall over sideways. That was it. Severus was on his back with his knees up to his belly, holding his sides and roaring with laughter now.
Fortunately he could not see poor Nina who had managed to sit up, only to fall backwards and give up. She decided to stay where she was until the world stopped spinning.
