“This is our fault!” Hermione snapped as she slammed her way in to Bridget’s office a week later and dropping herself in to the chair across the desk from her.
“What is our fault?” The other woman asked rubbing her forehead. It had been a very trying week for the Head of the Mental Ward as she had to fire an employee, write up too many reports, walk through a check of her facility by the Ministry and then sit through a trial.
“The Marcus situation” She snapped “How could I have been so stupid?” She stood and started to pace the office “The man is charmed to his chair and still managed to get cuts and bruises?!” She growled “How did I not see the abuse?”
“No one did” Bridget soothed “We all thought he was doing it to himself when he was sleeping, no one other than Marcus is to be blamed” She looked at the woman before her “How is Snape?”
“Catatonic again” She answered “Fell in to it that night and doesn’t show signs of snapping out of it”
“I read through one of his older files and realized that the catatonia is his way of coping with what happened” Bridget told her.
“So” Hermione looked at her “How was Marcus’s trial?”
“He has to pay a fine of one thousand galleons” Bridget answered “Lost his Healers license and was given a three month sentence at Azkaban”
“What?” Hermione was horrified “If he had been abusing a patient one floor up he would have been given five to ten years but oh no, Snape’s a death eater so we should just be happy they didn’t give him a bloody award!”
“I’m sorry” Bridget sighed “Do you have to work tomorrow, I know you rarely work Sundays?”
“No” Hermione confirmed looking at her muggle watch “Which reminds me that I need to get home and get ready”
“Blind date?” She asked.
“Nope” Hermione answered “I know him I just…I’m not sure I’m ready” She stood “I have ten more minutes so I’m going to check on Snape before I leave”
Hermione walked down the long hallway and to his room walking right in she was surprised to find that he was looking at her. She didn’t bother to charm his hands or feet to the bed, maybe if he hurt her enough she wouldn’t have to go on the date with Neville. She walked over and sat down in the chair looking at him before lowering her gaze from his piercing one. She shouldn’t but she felt guilty about not realizing the abuse first, she was supposed to be smart and yet she didn’t even notice signs that were right in front of her. Slowly, she lowered her head on to her arms which were on the side of his bed, she didn’t care that this made her vulnerable and that he could harm her. Maybe if he did she wouldn’t feel so guilty about what had happened, she was surprised to feel a soft tapping on her head and she raised her head.
‘Not that I care’ The slate said ‘But are you okay?’
“I’m sorry” She burst in to tears and dropped her head again then there was another, harder and more insistent tap on her head.
‘If you insist on drowning me with your tears, please leave’ He wrote.
“I’m sorry” She wiped her eyes and gave a shaky laugh “I guess I should leave, I have a date tonight and need to get ready”
‘I thought you were with the redheaded moron’ He raised a brow.
“Cheated on me” She said “Not the end of the world, I found myself more interested in talking to Lucius and Bellatrix than listening to him speak”
‘Not surprising’ He wrote.
“Anyway” She stood “It’s good to see you’re awake and I will see you on Monday”
~~~((@))~~~
Hermione dressed herself in a gold flowing dress that stopped at her knee with matching heels, left her hair down and put a small amount of make-up on. She looked in the mirror and sighed, it was just Neville Longbottom, sure he had gotten really good-looking thanks to a few cosmetic spells and potions, but he was still the forgetful boy she knew in Hogwarts. Only he wasn’t, Neville left a line of panting witches in his wake wherever he went, Three Broomsticks left Madam Rosmarta in a flutter with fantasies, Flourish and Blotts left the witch at the counter naming their unborn children…even Ginny was fanning herself after conversing with him. Hermione wasn’t immune to his charms, his eyes saw everything, his hands were soft, he smelled like the earth and mint and the half smile that used to make him look timid and shy now made him look sexy and worldly. SEXY? That was not a word most witches would even consider when thinking about the boy Neville used to be.
“Hermione” Harry called through her bedroom door “Are you ready, Neville’s here”
“Harry, I’m not sure I can do this” She said looking at her best friend.
“Don’t let Ron ruin you” Harry said soothingly “You are beautiful and smart and you need someone to love you and see you as the amazing woman you are and Neville really likes you, has for years apparently”
“He doesn’t know me anymore” She answered “He hasn’t seen me in years and everyone changes…he is the poster child for that saying”
“Just try it” Harry pleaded “The only men you see anymore other than me are convicted and clinically insane death eaters…you deserve more than that”
“I’m more comfortable with them” She grumbled grabbing her purse and spraying perfume on herself before taking a deep breath and leaving her room. Neville was wearing a forest green shirt and black slacks and managed to look like a runway model instead of the geeky kid she remembered. He smiled and offered his arm, now she could see what was wrong with him, no flower, no words of compliments, she shot a look at Ginny who smiled sadly before going back to checking him out.
“I have somewhere special to bring you” Neville said “A picnic if you don’t mind” She took his arm and allowed him to apperate them to a forest where a blanket was set up for them, there was a basket of food and wine.
“Here” He handed her a flower with a closed bud and she raised her brow at him “Blow on it” He instructed. She did as he told her to and a beautiful teal and white rose bloomed before her, it didn’t smell like a rose though, it smelled like fresh parchment, mint and…a smell that she could only associate with Snape.
“This is amazing” She took another deep smell but it had changed, now it was strawberries and cream, sweet wine and the darkest sweetest and most sinful chocolate “Neville” She raised her eyes to his “What is it?”
“A flower of my own design” He answered “It’s an Amortentia Rose. It’s safe and if ingested it doesn’t have the effects that the potion has, it was only made to be able to know what one desires”
“It’s beautiful” Hermione whispered with a blush.
Their picnic lasted late in to the night and she realized quickly why he picked this particular spot and silently applauded his charm. Neville wasn’t playing and he must be looking to get laid, because every hour that passed another breed of flower would open up and emit a beautiful colorful light around them. Soon the whole area around their blanket was lit with all the colors of the rainbow and somehow there was soft music playing somewhere. She smiled and looked around for the music before looking at him with a raised eyebrow and waited for him to explain.
“The music is coming from that flower” He pointed to a plain looking white tulip “I’ve charmed it” Then he stood and held out his hand to her “I never got a chance to dance with you our fourth year, how about now?”
“Alright” Hermione answered.
They danced slowly around the colorful flowers a few times. Hermione finally relaxed enough to lay her head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat, it was beating rather fast and she could tell that he was nervous. She raised her head to look at him amazed that he was so romantic, Ronald had never done something as romantic as this.
“Where were you when my heart wasn’t broken in two?” She asked him quietly.
“I was trying to work up the courage to come home and ask you on a date” He answered “I knew that you and Ron were together, so when I saw him with that girl” He clenched his teeth “How could someone cheat on someone as amazing as you?”
“You don’t know me anymore, Neville” She reminded him “I work all the time and should probably be single until I am more established in a job”
“I like this you more than I loved the you in Hogwarts” He told her “And I was one step away from making a shrine to you then”
“Oh no” She laughed “A stalker”
“Only a little” He joked, then raised her head so that she was looking at him “I promise not to be all that bad”
“I hope not” She whispered. Her heart pounded in her ears as he leaned lower and lower and then all noise shut off as his lips pressed against hers. Her hands slid down his shoulders to his biceps and allowed him to deepen the kiss.
“Neville” She moaned as he kissed down her throat, she never planned on him being such an accomplished kisser. His hands were drawing circles on her back then moved in to her hair and pulled it gently “Neville” She moaned again and this time pressed herself closer to him allowing him to lower her to the blanket behind them. She wanted to protest to tell him to stop as she was sure no matter how aroused he was he would stop but in her mind she kept hearing Ginny say “You need to get over Ron and just sleep with someone” and decided that maybe she was right.
He sat up and looked down at her for a minute noting her dilated pupils and panting and he smiled at her. She watched as he took off his shirt and dropped it near them before coming back down to kiss her. He undid the buttons of the front of her dress and then kissed her breasts through her bra, thanking her silently for the front snapping bra. When her breasts were bared he started to suck on her pebbled nipple in to his mouth before moving to the next one. Hermione was moaning and urging him on more and more, he removed her panties and trailed her fingertips up her leg and thigh to her sex. She gasped and rolled her hips against his hand, finally he undid his pants and looked at her one last time watching her mutter a contraceptive spell and then nodded. She was more than ready for him
~~~((@))~~~
Hermione sat with Snape while he contemplated being fed like a human being or having to be spoon fed magically. She watched his eyes roll in irritation and then he heaved a great sigh and waved his hand to tell her to proceed. Over Sunday he had attacked three other Healers and managed to get free, it took a lot of spells to get him under control and then he wouldn’t eat. Oddly enough, he didn’t do anything bad when he got out, attacked another Healer who was firing spells at him but for the most part he just ran around. She was feeding him now and was trying to figure out a way to better attack the situation without seeming too judging as he appeared to like her more than the others.
‘How was your date?’ He wrote with a sarcastic smirk.
“It was…” Hermione thought back to Neville’s sweetness, his kindness, his rose…her orgasm and tried to think of a way to put it “Nice” She finished lamely.
‘Nice?’ He wrote with a smirk ‘Sounds boring and you took forever to answer, methinks you are lying’
“I had sex with Neville Longbottom!” She said in a rush. Snape inhaled the food in his mouth and then spit it out choking on it in surprise at her admission and was gasping for air.
“Hermione” Bridget said from the doorway as Hermione was hitting his back to make sure that his airway was cleared.
“Yes?” Hermione asked while she laughed slightly finding great amusement in his shocked state he glared and held up his slate.
‘You almost killed me’ He wrote ‘You had sex…with…it?’
“Your boyfriend is here” Bridget said and Severus and Hermione both looked over at her confused “Neville…tall, fit, nice arse and smile, if you don’t want him then I will gladly take him off your hands”
“Neville, yes” Hermione said slowly “Will you continue feeding Severus?”
“Um” She looked at him nervously and he smirked evilly.
“Never mind” Hermione said “He can starve until I get back I should only be gone for…an hour, maybe two” She started to walk away and Bridget was about to say something but the younger woman raised her brows and tried to convey ‘shut up’ with her eyes.
“MMM” Came the noise she was expecting and she turned immediately.
“Yes, Severus” She said “Did you have something to say?”
‘I will be good’ He wrote smirking at her ‘But when you come back do tell me about the future you and the dim-witted twit have planned for yourselves’
“Of course” She answered then turned to Bridget.
“His arms aren’t charmed to the chair arms?!” She looked horrified “But…”
“He won’t harm you” Hermione promised “He knows the punishment if he does. Though I will say don’t lean over him too much, okay?”
“Because he bites?” The woman surmised while Snape childishly made a face at her.
“No” Hermione said “Severus here, likes to get a little hands on if there are breasts near him”
“Oh my” She blushed “But”
“He’ll be good” She promised.
~~~((@))~~~
Hermione saw him waiting by the nurses desk just outside the locked doors and he waved so he saw her. She was just about to the doors when Bellatrix came out her door hugging her and talking a mile a minute. Hermione listened and looked out the window at the angry expression on Neville’s face as he watched the woman. Hermione laughed at something she said and put her hand on Bella’s cheek to calm her promising her that she would visit her later and they could talk. Bella giggled and wandered back in to her room so that Hermione could leave.
“Olivia” Hermione said as she walked out “Bella is in dire need of her nails being cut again, she wasn’t fighting with me but she did scratch me a few times so that should be done”
“Yeah” She answered “I’ve been meaning to, has Snape eaten?”
“Bridget is feeding him now” Hermione answered smiling at Neville while using a potion to heal her minor scratches.
“Are those more bite marks I see on your shoulder?” Olivia asked moving closer.
“Yes” Hermione pulled away from her “But that’s not from a patient”
“Merina wanted to extend her congratulations on being the only person down here that has only been attacked by Snape once” Olivia smirked at her.
“Whatever” Hermione said “I’m going to lunch”
“I will send a patronis if any of them act up at all and we need your help” Olivia promised while Hermione walked away.
She and Neville ended up at Diagon Alley at a little diner that Lavender Brown had opened. The food was good and the service was quick and professional and flirty apparently. Hermione hadn’t expected Neville to show up, she assumed that it would be a one night stand, getting the itch scratched and then they would just be passing ships again. His showing up for lunch with her was a little nerve wracking because she wasn’t sure what she wanted none the less what he wanted.
“I wanted to apologize for Saturday night” He started after their food had been brought to them “I never planned to have sex” He whispered the last past to her.
“I didn’t either” She answered “But…I’m not sorry it happened, I’m just not sure if I want to start a relationship right now”
“Me neither” He sighed “I wanted to take you on a date that’s true but…I’m real busy now and it wouldn’t be fair to a girlfriend” He kissed her hand “I’m trying to get funding for opening my own magical gardens, then I’ll have to plant and tend the gardens while the plants grow and become usable for potions and the such…that could be a few years right there and I really get caught up in my work”
“I understand” Hermione said “I have four more months of my apprenticeship to do and then I need to get a job and get myself established there for I can even think about being in a relationship”
“So we’re on the same page” He said with a smile “No one knows about this except for us…” Hermione instantly looked guilty.
“Harry knows?” He guessed and she shook her head “Ginny?”
“No” She looked at her hand while her face turned red “Snape” She said in a small voice.
“You’ve told a patient about your sex-life?!” His eyes widened.
“He won’t say anything” Hermione assured him.
“He’ll hold it over my head and use it to be a dick” Neville contradicted.
“I assure you he won’t say anything to anyone” She said “He’s more or less mute”
“Okay” He looked at his hands and Hermione put hers on top of his.
“I have to go” She said “But I will leave this for you to think about, just because neither of us want a relationship doesn’t mean we can’t…get together every once in a while”
