CH 45 A new cuff

Energy was still emitting from her at full force, her mind focused on the rape and torment she�d suffered. Only now it was contained, but the two wizards were only slightly less nervous of approaching her.
�Louhi.� the Headmaster spoke in a soothing voice. �Louhi, you must stop this, take control Louhi.�
But Lou didn�t hear him, his voice hidden in the thunderous noise of energy surrounding her.
�Severus, you will have to try, she listens to you more than anyone. You were the only one able to control her in the ROR, you have always been the one Severus. Now you will have to do so again.� The old wizard told him.
Severus knew it would come to this, that he would at sometime time need to take control of her again, but she had so much more power now than when he first took control of her and it nearly killed him then.
�LOU. LOOK AT ME LOU, NOW� He shouted, his voice demanding.
Her eyes flickered to him for a split second before losing focus again.
He stepped closer to the shield the elves were maintaining, hoping against hope that they would hold out long enough for him to calm her down.
�LOU, LISTEN TO ME, I KNOW YOU ARE AFRAID, AND ANGRY, BUT YOU CANNOT SOLVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS NOW.� His voice lowered and he positioned himself so his eyes were directly in her line of vision. �Look at me Lou, see me. You know what I shall do if you do not obey. You know how I shall punish you don�t you Lou. Do you want me to punish you again?�

She focused on him for several seconds, the energy abating as she did. Then it flared up again as once again the terrifying images of Malfoy and Zabini on top of her took over.
�The chair is now in the middle of my study Lou, you know what that means. Picture it Lou, picture that chair in your mind. You know what it is for, you know I shall not relent if I sit on that chair.�

Lou focused on him again. She still held fear in her eyes, but it was a different kind of fear this time. A fear mingled with the smallest amount of desire as his obsidian orbs pierced hers, captivating her, taking her thoughts away from that room with the mattresses, that room where she was helpless to prevent them from �the chair, he was sitting on the chair and she was at his side. She didn�t want to be there, she knew what he was going to do if she didn�t do as she was told. He would spank her and it would hurt. But it would do something else to her too, and she couldn�t allow him to find out, she couldn�t, it would be too humiliating if he knew.
Lou tried with all her might to stop being angry, to stop being afraid. But it was so hard because she was angry, she was afraid.
Severus could see her faltering, the energy abating again but not ceasing.
�Lou you can do this. Try harder damn you, try harder. They cannot harm you any more, they dare not. Lou they were punished most aptly for what they did to you, trust me, they will leave you alone from now on.�
She stared at him with a sadness that almost tore him in two.
�That�s right Lou, you are taking control, keep trying, good girl, more.� He told her. �Yes, you are almost there Lou, almost there.� He said as she began to slump to the floor and the small amount of light left fizzled to nothing.
The elves dropped the protection charm and Severus darted forward, going to one knee and taking hold of Lou�s shoulders and head. he examined her briefly, ensuring she was not injured in any way before letting out a long breath.
�She is merely sleeping Headmaster. I think under the circumstances, it would be better that she stay in my rooms. One of the elves can stay with her at all times as chaperone, unless of course you have a better suggestion?�
�No Severus, I am in complete agreement with you. Unorthodox as it is, circumstances dictate that she would no longer fair well in here. What to tell the others though, that is indeed a problem.�
�That and the fact that her powers, even at only two thirds capacity, outweigh any witch or wizard that I know of, other than your self and the Dark Lord that is.�
�I am loathe to reduce her magic, but if she loses control again and others are around, they will be at risk of serious injury. I do have a solution, but she will not like it.�
�Headmaster, if it is what I think, then you can be the one to explain it to her this time, because I refuse.�
�Very well Severus, you have taken the brunt of all her imposed restrictions so far, so yes, I shall explain to her why she has been cuffed again. This time however, she must not discover the release charm, her anger at being cuffed again will only be contained up to a point.�
�Might I suggest you do it now, she is beginning to stir.�

The Headmaster conjured a calming cuff and attached to Lou�s ankle. He muttered a few words and it locked into place.
Severus picked her up and carried her to her new room in his quarters as the elves set to work repairing the wrecked bedroom.

All of her belongings were brought through and the photo of her parents place on the locker beside her bed.

The potions Master also placed a photo album beside it, the one he�d taken the framed photo from. He hoped to appease her with it when she discovered she was once again cuffed.
As soon as she awoke, Severus left Albus to speak to her while he summoned more elves to clear up the common room.

Then he called the two seventh years into his office.

Once they were seated, he warded the door and put up a silencing spell.
Malfoy and Zabini had no way of knowing whether or not their head of house was one of the Deatheaters that took part in their punishment, and they were not about to ask. But they showed him complete respect, afraid of recriminations if they did not.
To Severus, the sight of these two previously alpha males, now acting completely subservient was a sight to behold. He had played no part in their punishment, the fact it was his information to the Dark Lord that brought it about, was more than enough for him. He had no desire to rape a child, no matter what their crime.
�So, have either of you anything to say before I allow you to return to your dormitories?�
Both boys had been instructed by Voldemort himself to apologise profusely to all and any involved with their crime. That included the Potions Master, the Headmaster, and of course, Lou. She most of all must accept their apology before the Dark Lord would even consider showing them any mercy. They were still under threat of a repeat of their previous punishment if she could not be persuaded to forgive them.

�The Nilsen girl is more important than your puny little arses, or those of your families. If she decides not to join my ranks because of what you did to her, you will both die very slowly and very painfully. Though not before watching your parents suffer the same fate. I have been too lenient with you by far. Do not let me down. Now get out of my sight, the pair of you.� Voldemort told Malfoy and Zabini.

�Yes Sir. I wish to apologise for my part in the rape of Louhi Nilsen-Black. I see now the error of my ways, and intend to do my utmost to make amends with the young lady.� Zabini told him.
�I am certain of it Mr Zabini.�

�And what of you Mr Malfoy, have you anything to say for yourself? Might I suggest you think carefully before answering.� He told the sullen faced arrogant looking boy.
Draco�s face fell a mile. He was used to being the golden boy as far as his head of house was concerned and thought he could at least get away with giving a genuine apology to him. But that clearly wasn�t the case.

�Same as Blaize Sir, I am sorry and will not do it again. I shall of course be offering the same courtesy to Miss Black.�
The Professors eyebrows rose at Malfoy�s sheer audacity. �Is that so Mr Malfoy? How very generous of you, I do not think.� His voice changed to a dangerous hiss. �I suggest Mr Malfoy, that you think again. You are I believe aware of the repercussions, should I not report favourably of you to the Dark Lord.�
�Yes Sir.� Draco told him, in a higher voice than he would normally use. �I am sorry Sir, truly sorry, and I will do whatever it takes to make Lou understand that I will never lay a finger on her again. I shall of course apologise to her also.�
�Better Mr Malfoy, though only marginally. Neither of you are to accost, speak to or in any way detain Miss Black without myself or another member of staff present. Your apology will be given in the Headmasters office before supper this evening. Now go to your dormitory and stay there until lunchtime. After lunch, you will both return to your dormitory and remain there until you are collected. Mr Malfoy, you are no longer head boy, as such you no longer have head boy privileges. Hence, the private room afforded you is no longer available. You will share a room with your housemates. Good day.� He told them, unwarding the door and dismissing them. He watched them leave and closed the door, once more raising the wards.

Lou followed Albus into the Potion Masters sitting room, her face was puffy, eyes red rimmed from crying. She remained calm though and when told to sit, she did so. She studied her fingers as her left foot unconsciously scuffed the cuff around her right ankle.
When Severus entered the room she stiffened, the image of the chair coming to mind. By the time he sat in the armchair opposite her and the Headmaster, Lou was trembling slightly.
Severus passed a glass of brandy to Albus, the other he kept to himself as they sat watching her.
�I have already told Louhi there are to be no repercussions for what occurred in her room this morning. She seemed to be under the impression that you would punish her for losing control and destroying her room.�

�Why would you think such a thing? Clearly you were under duress at the time.�
�The chair.� She told him. �You said the chair was waiting for me.� She told him quietly.
�I did, but only as a means of making you take pay attention to me. You were passed listening to reason, so I was forced threaten you with punishment.�
�I thought you meant it, I was scared.�

�That was the general idea, though on this occasion, it was an empty threat. Not something I would normally do, as you well know. As for yourself, are you feeling quite recovered now?�

�I �I think so, Sir I�m really sorry for what I did, and I�ll pay for all the damage. It was a shock �seeing them, I didn�t expect it and it was like it was happening all over again, it wouldn�t stop, they wouldn�t stop. Professor, I don�t want to go back in there, I�m scared.�
Albus leaned forward and patted her hand. �You needn�t worry Louhi, as from now, you shall be residing in Professor Snape�s private quarters. We need to think of a reason for your absence from Slytherin tower, but I am sure we can come up with something before the morning.�
�We can helps with that Sir.� Piped a voice from the sitting room door.
�Ah Pegnose, I wondered when I would get a chance to speak with you. I understand you are now bound to Miss Black, and mated with Kreatcher no less?�

�Yes Sir, we is both bound to the miss and mated to each other. We is happy now.�
�Good, I am pleased for you both. Now you say you can help with our little dilemma, how?�
�Miss Lou�s room in Slytherin is now mended, we can removes the door to the common room and make new door into dungeons corridor. Or we can do same thing with new room, if the Professor isn�t minding us taking some of his study for passage to the dungeons corridor. The miss can have old bedroom as a sitting room and the Professor is keeping his privacy.�

�How much of my study?� Severus asked indignantly.
�Only little bit Sir, is only until the bad boys is leaving next June, then yous can have it back.�
Lou listened to them, taking in every word. They were all bending over backwards for her and it wasn�t right. �No.� She suddenly said.
�I beg your pardon? I do not remember anyone asking you for an opinion.� Severus told her.
�I know, I�m sorry, but �I can�t do this, you can�t do this. I�m putting everyone out because I�m running away again. Well I�m sick of running away, I�ve done it all my life and I�m sick of it. It�s not fair, me taking your rooms and using your space, and I�ll never see my friends if I�m in here all the time. I don�t ever want to see M �those boys again, but I�m not hiding, I�m not.�
�Louhi, we are not suggesting that you hide, only that your out of class living arrangements are altered slightly. You will not be running away, not as long as you are at Hogwarts.� The Headmaster said.
�Yes I am, sort of. It�s nearly like running away. And it�s not fair on Professor Snape, I�ll only end up making him grumpy, I always do. Anyway, it�s not as if I�m gonna hurt anyone with this on is it?� She told them, pointing resentfully at her new cuff. She�d already tried the �Aperio� charm on it with no success.
�And when you next walk into the common room and Messrs Malfoy and Zabini are already in there, what then?� Severus wanted to know.
Lou gave him an exasperated look. �Well I�ll just �I can �if they �I don�t know.� She finished, defeated. The mere thought of coming face to face with them was enough to throw her for a loop.
�Then it is settled.� Severus told her. �An elf will be in residence with you at all times to act as chaperone, thus preventing any speculation as to your being under my roof so to speak.�
�That should no longer be necessary Severus, seeing as how Louhi will have her own access from the corridor. And Lou, since you will in effect have your own suite, I see no reason why you cannot invite your friends in to study with you, providing of course that you behave and cause no disturbances for your Professor.�
�Really, you mean it? I can have my friends in anytime I want?�
�Within reason.� Severus told her, a slight frown on his brow.
�Thank you, both of you. And you too Pegnose for thinking of it. I�m excited now. Erm, what will we tell everyone, about why I�ve got these new rooms?�
�I think perhaps it is time to reveal your exceptional abilities as far as magical education is concerned. You are already much more advanced than your peers, in fact more than some of our seventh years in certain key subjects. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to give you an almost exclusive private education within the halls of Hogwarts. Your magical knowledge far exceeds any other student in this school Lou, as does your magical prowess, and it is not yet fully unleashed. I think that, along with certain other highly gifted students, we can arrange a special timetable that can be adapted to fit in with everyone�s needs. They too will be given their own rooms, with all the extra studying necessary, private quarters are a must and you will not be singled out.�

�What do you think Severus?�
The Potions Master couldn�t answer immediately, he was too stunned at the suggestion. �You think that wise Headmaster? Surely it would only serve to alienate her from her friends. She has already expressed fears that they will think her a know-it-all and asked permission to deliberately mis-answer questions in certain subjects.�
�If her friends are true, than I foresee no problems.�

Louhi, do you think your friends would stand by you through this?�

�I don�t know, they tried to stick up for me against �them. And they�ve never said anything bad to me when I�ve got better marks than they did, so they might, at least I hope they will.�
�Then it is settled, I shall call a staff meeting and set about selecting the brightest students to take part in this �experiment shall we call it? �Do you know, I believe it is time for lunch. I think you have already missed breakfast both of you, so I suggest we make our way to the Great Hall and leave Pegnose here, and Kreatcher to get on with your new living arrangements. After lunch, you will be able to tell them how you would like your new quarters to be decorated.� Albus told her.
The emerged into the dungeons corridor and Lou walked with the Headmaster as Severus turned to collect Malfoy and Zabini.
�Lou, you realize the two boys will be in the hall at mealtimes, I do hope this will not pose too much of an upheaval for you.�

�I wont let it, so long as they leave me alone and I�m not on my own with them, it should be okay. Headmaster?�

�He looked at her with a querying expression.
�You�re going to a lot of trouble for me, Professor Snape too. It doesn�t seem right somehow. If I can ever do anything to make it up, tell me and I�ll do it.�
�Louhi, you have not had the best start in life, and circumstances have conspired to make things even more difficult over the last few months, apart from the odd infraction, none of it was your fault and we are only too happy to help in any way we can.�
�Can I really decorate my own rooms?�

Albus laughed at her sudden enthusiasm for an entirely different matter. �Yes you may, though do remember that Professor Snape will still have to enter those rooms to give you treatment, so please, try to be a little restrained.�
Lou grinned and said she would. She wasn�t one for garish colour schemes anyway, preferring light and airy as opposed to the blacks and reds many of her more gothic friends preferred. Robyn and Bernie would have wall to wall black if they could, and Nichole wore black at every opportunity. Stacy like anything and everything so long as it was blood red or dark green, while Anna was more like Lou in her tastes, she always looked naturally stylish and elegant to Lou, even in her school robes.
As soon as she entered the hall Ron spied her and left his seat to come over and speak to her.

Albus tactfully made his way to the head table and left the couple alone.
�Lou, I was worried sick when you didn�t come down for breakfast. What happened? Did Snape do something?�

�No Ron I�m fine, I just had a bit of a shock this morning when I got up.�

�What kind of a shock?� He wanted to know, then saw Malfoy and Zabini entering with Snape.
When Lou saw him look over her shoulder, she turned and stiffened when she saw them.
