Well… here it is; chapter 39. Enjoy!
Chapter 39: Mrs. Snape.
Hermione Granger’s body was unable to respond once
placed on the red carpet at Malfoy Manor. She had seen that place before, she was
in Lucius’ private chambers and sure enough he was there too, silently waiting
for her to move her bruised limbs. He was a snake, after all, and such reptiles
always wait for their future capture in the darkness of the night while it
gently slithers across the grass- now transformed into a red carpet- to finally
nail its fangs, true daggers, which poison the victim and enables the snake to
slowly swallow the remains of what it used to be, in this case, a human soul- a
unique piece of the universe just like you and me.
Therefore, Hermione did not move because if she dared
do such a thing she would cease to exist and even though the word tragic had a
new different meaning in Hermione’s mental dictionary now, she couldn’t help
but grasp whatever hope left in her body. Severus, after all, depended on her
in many ways.
“Miss Granger,” Lucius said from his red velvet chair.
Hermione was not quite capable of pointing at Lucius’ direction because the obscurity
of the room was such that no object or person could be clearly seen, just their
dark shapes illuminated by the moon, “I see you have finally decided to wake
up,” he said, standing from his previous resting place and walking all the way
to where Hermione Granger was.
She, of course, said nothing wishing that perhaps her
silence would calm his temper but she was wrong for her stillness and muteness
only inspired rage in Lucius Malfoy.
“Miss Granger,” he said between his teeth, “this is
not the time to PLAY GAMES!,” he shouted nailing his cane in the middle of her
back which made her scream with a kind of pain she had never felt before. He
actually wanted to stab her with his cane because he kept wringing it with all
his strength in order for her back to break but, fortunately for Hermione, he
stopped in time, “Now,” he whispered, calming himself down, “Where is your
husband?,”
“I…,” she said, trying to stand but failed to do so.
Her body ached too much and the spot in which Lucius had rubbed his black stick
with a silver snake on the top throbbed like hot iron, “I don’t know,” she
confessed, placing her right cheek on the floor and surrendering to the power
of soreness.
“Miss Granger,” he calmly said walking towards the
fireplace, “you are not in a very good position right now. I suggest you to
start talking because the future does not look promising for you,” he said
while introducing the silver snake to the fire.
“I don’t know where Severus is. I was just sleeping
when…,” she started to explain, but it was all in vain.
“SILENCE!,” Lucius
interrupted her, shouting loudly, “Do you believe I am a fool, Miss Granger?
Your husband believes it, apparently, why would you not?,”
he enquired while watching the snake’s head turn orange, “For the last time,
Miss Granger, where is your husband?,”
