A Matter of Proportions

Severus Snape was awakened by a whimper.

It took him a moment to recognize the hoarse voice. The pathetic whine had emanated from his own throat.

Snape\'s hand jerked up to his face, as his last conscious moments crashed in on him. To his relief there was nothing sticky or slimy on his face or chest. A shudder of disgust ran through his abused body as it burned with the memory of being smothered in a torrent of giant\'s semen.

Or maybe it was nothing more then than some sick nightmare?

Unfortunately, the fact that he lay sprawled naked on a dirt floor his hips were sore and imprinted with bruises in the shape of large fingerprints made the nightmare explanation somewhat less plausible.

Images of laughing giants and rape at Hagrid\'s hands filled his mind. Was that true? Tentatively, his fingers reached down to his anus. Swallowing hard he brushed the very tight, but also very tender ring of muscle.

\"Told yeh \'bout that spell, it only lasts \'bout an hour or so,\" Hagrid said from the doorway of the hut. Sunlight streamed in behind him, and the sounds of heavy footsteps and guttural conversations could be heard outside.

Severus shrank back from Hagrid, dragging himself with still slightly clumsy limbs to the far wall. He attempted to stand, but immediately moaned and fell to the floor, disoriented from the intense pain in his head. He curled up in a ball, trembling.

\"Sev\'rus, calm down, I ain\'t gonna hurt yeh none,\" assured Hagrid, moving on into the room.

\"You\'ve already hurt me!\" The fear was plain in his voice.

\"Now, it weren\'t like that.\" Hagrid sounded pained. \"It were just ter keep the Gurg from takin\' yeh.\"


\"You enjoyed it.\" Severus gulped. In his mind he could see the lust on the Gryffindor\'s face as Hagrid pounded into him. \"You raped me...\" He tried to bite back a sob, remembering what the monster had done to him.

\"Din\'t have no choice, did I? \'e were wantin\' ter\' play with yeh. Had ter make\'im think I were like \'im.\" Hagrid moved to sit in front of him. \"Listen!\" He caught Severus\' shoulders in his strong hands, and held him immobile. \"Do yeh want to get outa this place? Yeh\'ve got ter obey me or GurgNathingbane, \'e\'s gonna try \'n take yeh for \'imself.\"

\"Obey you?\" Severus swallowed hard as his mind reeled. After all of this, he would be expected to submit to Hagrid? Well, he had done that already. \"If they thinks I ain\'t strong enough ter keep yeh in line, the giants they\'ll be thinkin o\' me as weak. The Gurg, \'e\'ll challenge me fer yeh!\"

\"Challenge you?\"

\"That be the giant\'s way. Weakness ain\'t tolerated. If they thinks o\' me as weak, it\'ll be a real giant\'s cock in yeh.\" Hagrid spoke softly but the words were hard.

Hagrid sighed and decided to change his approach. \" The Gurg wants \'is potions Sev\'rus. Yeh\'ve got ter make \'em.\"

\"Potions?\" he repeated it as though \'potions\' were a foreign word that he had never heard before. \"You expect me to just go on as if nothing happened? As if you had not raped me?\"

\"Yerh\'ll do what yeh came here ter do. Yer a Potions Master. Yeh needs ter be makin\' potions,\" Hagrid informed him as he tried to touch the other man\'s arm, but Severus still cringed from him.

\"Don\'t touch me, monster!\" Severus snapped, attempting to draw his anger about him like a protective cloak.

Hagrid\'s beetle black eyes looked stunned. \"Ain\'t no monster, Sev\'rus. Now, I can\'t lie to yeh, I did like fuckin\' yeh. Maybe \'cause I gots giant blood in me, I bin wantin\' to fer years. But yeh gots to un\'erstand. Doin\' yeh like that, it were only so them others wouldn\' hurt yeh.\" Hagrid stood, walked over to a dark corner, and lifted something. Snape realized what it was as the half-giant pulled the miniaturized trunks from what must be the tattered remains of Severus\' robes. He used his umbrella to cast a spell and return them to normal size.

\"I understand. Of course, you were only helping me,\" Snape said softly, his dark eyes never leaving Hagrid, weighing his chances of survival if he tried to fight. They were depressingly low.

He put the idea of escape out of his mind for the moment and as quickly as he could, Severus pulled some of his spare clothes from one of the trunks and dressed. Hagrid was turned away, giving him a little privacy. When he was clothed and felt less vulnerable, Snape looked at Hagrid\'s broad back. \"Where is my wand?\"

\"Here.\" Hagrid produced his wand from a pocket of his coat. He started to hand it over but before Severus could take it, the large hand drew back. \"Yeh ain\'t thinkin\' a tryin\' ter curse me or nothin\'?\"

\"No, Hagrid, I will not curse you. As you said, I am at the mercy of my circumstances. Without you here I have no doubt that I would be dead by nightfall from the Gurg\'s amorous attentions,\" Snape said truthfully. Much as he would have liked to turn Hagrid into a toad and use him for potion ingredients, to survive, Severus had to refrain from killing him.

Besides, Hagrid had called due his life debt. Severus had no choice but to stay and try to complete the mission. He would obey Hagrid for the duration of this nightmare.

Once the mission was over, though; that would be a different story.
