Chapter Eighteen Professor Snape

Before lunch on Friday morning Severus was in the middle of
a demanding session with his Seventh year Potions class. Hermione was workin tin the private workroom
off the lab on an essay for Severus outlining the theory behind the Wolfsbane
potion. The connecting door was open so
she could hear what was going on but could not be seen. The two copper cauldrons lay on the far
table waiting for the final touches that evening. Severus and Hermione were expecting Remus to call in for it the
next day. So far Hermione�s potion was
proceeding correctly and in theory the final stage was simpler than most of
those she had already completed.

She was absorbed in a key point of her essay when she became
aware of unusual noises from next door.es">
She put down her quill and edged nearer to the door. The normal classroom noises had
stopped. There was no sound from any
student. Severus was speaking quietly,
vehemently protesting about something and there were two strange adult voices
trying to interrupt him. Taking a deep
breath Hermione positioned herself in the doorway. From there she could see the stunned faces of the students as
they watched two Aurors attempt to persuade hus husband to surrender his wand
and come quietly.

She lost no time in sweeping across the room in a manner
that led some witnesses to later claim that she could channel her husband.

�I am Madam Snape,� she hissed. �Perhaps one of you would have the courtesy to explain why you
are interfering with my husband�s work in this fashion. Harry!
Please summon the Headmaster.�

Harry was out of his seat in an instant. Before he reached the door however
Dumbledore came through it.

�I had a feeling I should pay my Potions Master a visit,� he
said brightly. "> �How fortunate I arrived
when I did. Seventh years, I think your
lesson has been irretrievably disrupted.yes"> Between us we created the potion that rendered Voldemort
mortal. We fought together at Godric�s
Hollow. I didn�t see either of you
there. He lost his wife and unborn
child because of Voldemort. Her memory
gave him the strength to spy for our side when you lot were burying your heads
in the sand and refusing to believe it wasn�t over. How dare you come trampling into our lives treating me like an
infant and my husband like a criminal.�

�Hermione,� said Severus gently. �You�re going to have to let them take me. We can�t argue with the processes of the
Wizengamot. These men can�t change its
decision. They were sent to do a job
and it is an offence to interfere with that. There is a time for rhetoric and
this is not it. This can all be sorted
out when the Wizengamot meets. They
cannot prove what isn�t true. I need
you to look after things here while I�m away and I�m sure Albus and Minerva
will look after you for me. Come to the
doors with me and I�m sure we�ll be allowed to say goodbye.�

Hermione looked for confirmation of this to the Aurors. They nodded. Dumbledore was first to rise.

>

�Severus you are as dear to me as a son of my blood would
be. I will do all in my power to aid
you.�

The solemn party made its way to the front doors of the
school watched by a veritable army of children who had heard their news on the
way to lunch. s"> The stairway was full of
them and a crowd formed to survey the door, which Severus was to be taken
through. One of the Aurors pulled open
the huge door and said �Time for goodbyes.�

Uncaring of the audience Hermione clung to her husband and
kissed him passionately. The Aurors
looked askance at their display and moved to sepe the the couple. They realised their mistake as when they
touched Hermione she involuntarily let loose a wave of magical energy which
knocked every person around the couple flat on the floor before blowing out the
windows and even more remarkably the castle doors. The taller Auror brandished his wand at her.

�Don�t be a fool man.
Don�t you realise how powerful this woman is?� cried Severus. �Don�t hurt her, she can�t control it.�

The man ignored Severus� plea and fired a �stupefy� at her
back. It bed oed off her and hit a
Hufflepuff first year perched on the banisters. She fell off backwards and landed on the stone floor with a nasty
thud.

�No more hexes in my castle if you please, said Dumbledore
firmly. �Hannah, please fetch Madam
Pomfrey immediately. You two, please be
respectful enough of Hermione and Severus to allow them to part as befits two
newly-weds. Severus, please try to calm
her. Merlin knows, no one else will be
able to. Children please go up into the
Great Hall. I will be through in a
moment to make an announcement.�

The bulk of the children moved away leaving behind those who
had received injuries. Dumbledore went over to the unconscious child on the
floor. Severus held Hermione close and
whispered in her ear. No one heard what
he said to her but she visibly relaxed in his arms. He lifted her chin and stooped to kiss her tenderly again.Minerva can you repair the castle for me if
I send Harry off with Hermione after lunch?
Hermione, come and take your husband�s place at table.�

Hermione followed Albus into the Great Hall and sat in
Severus� place. Dumbledore tapped on
his glass and the Hall fell silent.

�As many of you already know Professor Snape has been called
to London to help the Aurors and the Wizengamot in their investigation of the
institution of the revised Marriage Laws.
I would like to stress that Professor Snape has not acted illegally in
any way but is not allowed to live here with his wife until the law has been
clarified. As soon as the internal
investigation is complete he will return here to resume his post. In the meantime Professor Hermione Snape
will be assuming her husband�s duties as Potions teacher and Head of Slytherin
House. I expect her to be accorded the
same respect as any other teacher.
There will be no Potions ses ses until Monday as Professor Snape needs
time to organise her schedule. Mr
Potter can you see me after lunch. That
will be all.�

Hermione managed to swallow down some food before the end of
the meal. She was remaining outwardly
calm but inside her blood felt as if it were raging through her veins. Harry came up to the teacher�s table after
he had eaten.

�Ah Harry,� said Dumbledore. �Professor Snape has had an extremely difficult morning. I am excusing you from your classes this
afternoon so you may be of assistance to her.�

�al>�Okay,� said Harry.
�Are you ready to go Professor?�

�Yes thank you.
We�ll start off in the lab.
Thank you for your help Headmaster.�

Hermione rose from the table and exited the Great Hall with
Harry tagging along in her wake. He
waited until they reached the lab to begin their conversation.

�Hermione what is going on?�

�Harry, if I talk to you about this you can�t tell any of
the others, especially Ron.�

�Not a word, I promise.
Tell me.�

�The Wizengamot have worked out that Lucius has been fixing
the Emergency Council.�

�I know that. That�s
why the law has been suspended.�

�Yes. Well because
Severus is the only pure-blood who has married under the Law he is now being
questioned abhis his involvement.�

�That�s crazy. He
did it for you. For Merlin�s sake he
was rescuing you from Malfoy.�

�I know it�s crazy.

�He was our spy.�

�Yes but he was at school with Malfoy and Olivia was
Malfoy�s sister.�

�His first wife?�

�Yes. Those Aurors talked like I was a child and
Severus had abused my trust. They tried
to hint that I was in danger because of how she died. rentrently �members of the community� are concerned.�

�No one who knows you will believe it. Dumbledore can sort all this out. He has a high standing on the
Wizengamot. Snape will be back in no
time.�

�I love him Harry.�

�Did you tell him?�

�Yes, I wasn�t intending to. I thought it was too soon to say anything but I let it slip. We made love after and it was incredible and
then he told me that he began to love me before the binding as well.�

�And now this�. Hermione, what happened in the entrance
hall?�

�Just wandless magic I think. I haven�t done it since I was a child. I�ve really grown in power since the binding and I was so
stressed it just happened. I didn�t do
it deliberately.�

�You know I�ve done it.
I made the glass disappear at the snake house in the zoo once. I nearly frightened Dudley to death.�

�I�m sure he was asking for it.�

�Most definitely. I
hope that little girl is all right though.�

�Wl>�What little girl?
Did I hurt her?�

�No it was the Auror.
Right after you blew the doors out he tried to cast �stupefy� on
you. Snape tried to stop him but he
didn�t listen. It bounced right off you
and ked ked a first year off the banister.
I think you bruised a few people before that though. You must have knocked about forty of them
over with that blast.�

�Well hopefully it�ll put the wind up the Slytherins because
I�m not in the mood ut uut up with any crap from them.�

�I can�t believe Slytherin has a Muggle born Gryffindor as
acting Head of House.�

�There are no Slytherin teachers except Severus. I think Albus put me on the staff as a
tactic. People will find it harder to
paint me as an innocent child if I teach.�

�You could be right.
What about your other classes though?�

�I don�t care.
Severus is more important than school.�

�Now I know you love him.
You hardly ever say that about anything.�

�I think I�m ready to move on. It�s not that I don�t enjoy learning any more. It�s just that I do all my learning in my
own time. Going to class is actuallyepineping me from learning these days.
I�m supposed to be working for NEWTs but I don�t need them like I would
have done if I hadn�t married Severus.�

�I know what you mean.
After everything that�s happened it�s strange to have an ordinary
life. Are you going to do the NEWTs
still?�

�I suppose I will after all�.�

They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

�Enter!� called Hermione.

It was Dumbledore accompanied by an unknown medi-wizard.

�Hermione my dear I�m sorry to intrude but Healer Alfred
Binns is here to see you. He has been
commissioned by the Wizengamot to carry out a full physical examinaton
on
you.�

�I don�t need an examination,� said Hermione. �I�m in perfect health.�

�Ah Miss Granger, you may not feel that you need the
examination but the Ministry feels that it is necessary in view of your
circumstances,� piped up the Healer

�Firstly sir I am addressed as either Madam or Professor
Snape and I fail to see what circumstances are inducing the Ministry to send me
a Healer. I have never yet had an
ailment Madam Pomfrey has been unable to deal with.�

�Madam if you do not submit to my examination I will have to
send for the Aurors to subdue you.�

�What?!�

�Madam if you do not allow the examination it will be
impossible for the Wizengamot to take physical abuse into account in your
husband�s trial.�

&;

�I haven�t been abused.
Severus would never hurt me.�

�That is not the view of his interrogators. Your obstinacy will not do him any
favours. I would like to get this done
as quy asy as possible. Time is of the
essence. Where can we go?�

�I suppose my quarters would be the best place. I have to say I would prefer to be examined
by a female Healer.�

�I am afraid that is not possible Madam. I assure you I am a expert in these
matters.�

Dumbledore interjected, �As Professor Snape is a relatively
young woman she may feel happier if your examination is carried out in the
presence of our own medi-witch Madam Pomfrey.
Would that be better for you Hermione?�

�Please Headmaster, couldn�t Madam Pomfrey do the examination
herself?� She lowered her voice,
�Severus is the only man to see me or touch me and I don�t think he�ll be
pleased about this.�

�Madam I am a complete professional. Your husband�s likes and dislikes carry no
weight with me. However if it means I
can get this business over with quickly I am prepared to be observed.�

�Harry please go and find Madam Pomfrey and ask her to join
us in the lab,� said Dumbledore.
�Hermione perhaps you would like a moment or two to prepare
yourself? Go on through. Madam Pomfrey and Healer Binns will join you
in a few moments.�

Ten minutes later Healer Biand and Madam Pomfrey entered
Hermione�s chambers. Hermione had
transfigured a small side table into a trolley and sat on it clad in one of her
husband�s shirts which reached her knees.
Madam Pomfrey felt uncomfortable about how scared and small Hermione
looked.

�Okay,� boomed Healer Binns, �Now Madam if you can be a
sensible girl for twenty minutes or so all this will be over very quickly. You may as well loose the shirt, I�ll have
to see everything anyway.�

Hermione blanched and stood to remove the garment and
resumed her seat naked.

�Now I�ll need more light than this.�

He brandished his wand and cast Lumos in the already daylit
room. Hermione flinched at the brightness
of the enhanced light. Binns meanwhile
set up a parchment and Dicto-quill to record his observations. Turning back to Hermione he noted the marks
of passion on her neck, throat and breasts before bidding her to lie down for
an internal examination. Hermione had
never heard of one of these before and was shocked as the Healer forced some
kind of metal instrument into her vagina.
She could not help but try and scoot up the trolley away from him.

�Is all this really necessary?� said Madomfromfrey. �That�s a very Muggle way of doing things.�

�Ah no lo a v a virgin young lady,� continued the Healer,
ignoring Poppy�s query. �No signs of
damage though. No bruising here.�

�Professor Snape is a married woman. You could have determined virginity by a
simple charm.�

�How long have you been active?�

�Pardon me?� responded Hermione.

�When did you lose your virginity?�

�Last Friday, on my wedding night,� she replied weakly.

�Okay, two bruises on the left leg, both below the
knee. Some bruises on the upper arms as
well. Fingers made those. A bit rough is he?�

�He didn�t do those.
I had a quarrel with an old boyfriend and he grabbed spanspan
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Severus made him stop. The ones on my leg are from getting hexed in
my DADA class.�

�Let�s see if he�s managed his heir yet.�

�I took the hundred day potion on the Wednesday before the
wedding.�

�Well these things aren�t completely reliable you know,
especially with a binding.� He waved
the wand over her abdomen murmuring an incantation. A small blue and white haze hovered for a few seconds over her.

�Well you could be unlucky here. You have conceived. Of
course if you�ve only been active for a week then the foetus is still very
young and may not take but it�s there for the moment. If it�s still there in a couple of weeks you can consider
yourself pregnant. You�ll have to
update the Wizengamot when you give your evidence.yes"> That wasn�t so bad was it?
Nothing to make such a fuss about.�

�That was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life
and I fought Voldemort. It was utterly
degrading and unnecessary and I will be sure to make that clear to the
Wizengamot when they cal.

The disgruntled Healer gathered up his belongings as
hurriedly as he could and stormed out.

�Well said,� said Poppy.
�The nerve of that man. I can�t
believe that Muggle thing and I have never stripped a patient like that.�

�I might be pregnant.�

�Yes my dear, you might.
How do you feel about that?>

>

�Glad I think. I
mean I know I can�t get too excited at the moment because like he said it may
not establish itself but I think I want it to.�

�It would be born just before NEWTs.�

�Bugger the NEWTs. I
must tell Severus.�

�Write him a note my dear.
Perhaps you could floo it to him with some clothes and books. No reason you can�t make him feel loved.�

�No, no reason at all.�
