Assimilation
Getting more reviews now so I’m getting more encouraged. Here’s a bit more before we go back to the farm.
Chapter 6 Snape has Unicorn love? And; that owl shit on my plate
“Jane? Severus? Are you both….?”
“Yes” They replied in unison.
“What happened?”
They looked at each other when they had once again spoken at the same time.
Jane lowered her eyes and left the floor open for Severus.
“Well! Headmaster?”
As three pairs of eyes turned on him Albus was at a loss.
“I have never seen the like before in my life. I think that what you both just experienced, you are not going to like this Severus, was Unicorn Love.
“WHAT!!?”
Jane giggled when she heard him shout at the side of her.
Severus tried to glare at her but he couldn’t. He tried to scowl instead but that would not happen either. So he sank back into his seat and sighed, folding his arms and attempting to pout. Only the pout didn’t happen so he gave up. Not realising straight away that he had a smile on his face.
Minerva and Albus looked knowingly at each other. Albus’ blue eyes were twinkling madly. “It is late. Perhaps we should retire for the evening.”
Jane and Severus only nodded as she went to the floo, Poppy had shown her how to use it earlier in the evening, and as she stepped into the floo, a smile on her face, he left the room, humming to himself as he headed back to the dungeons.
The older couple left behind could not hold back their chuckles as the door closed behind him.
That night Both Jane and Severus slept deep and dreamless.
Up in the Griffindor common room, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus were discussing Jane and what they thought might be going on with her.
“Well I think she’s Snape’s daughter and I’m keeping clear of her.”
Seamus had his doubts too. “Ye might be right Nev, she’s sure got the look of him.”
“Yeh, how many people do you know with eyes that colour. The hair too, an the skin.” Dean put in.
“Nah, it’s just coincidence. She’s not ugly, he is.”
They all laughed when Ron said that.
Harry stayed mostly quiet throughout the conversation. Ron looked over to him. He knew Harry was closing on himself again but didn’t know how to bring him out again.
“C’mon Harry. What d’you think?”
I dunno Ron. I’m going to bed.
“Where’s Harry?” Hermione had just run through the portrait door looking very excited.
He’s gone to bed why?”
“I need to tell him something. Now.”
She and Ron ran upstairs to the boys dormitory. The others didn’t follow, knowing better then to get involved with those three when Hermione had that look on her face. The look that said ‘I know something you don’t and I am going to keep going over every detail until you understand.”
Harry was just getting into bed when they barged through the door. “What do you want. I’m tired.”
“You can sleep later Harry, this is important. I promise you’ll like what I have to tell you.”
She went on to tell them what she had discovered in the library. After going through volume after volume and finding nothing, Hermione discovered an old book called ‘Majikal Myth and Legend’ by Isa Trooth. Because it was only small it had been tucked behind several larger, little used volumes she had been looking through at the back of the library. Her curiosity was peaked and after sitting down with it she was glad it had been. She had found the legend of the Assimilator.
“From what I can gather, if the Assimilator touches a magical person, being or beast, she takes on their powers and some, if not all of their knowledge too. It depends on how long they stay in contact. I think that was what was happening with the Unicorns.”
“What! You mean if she touches one of us she’ll take all our power from us. Why would we like that?”
“No Ron. Your own powers don’t change.”
“So what has this got to do with us then? And how can someone take your powers yet not take them.“ Harry asked.
“Harry, there are so many pieces of this puzzle missing at the moment and I'm not completely sure but, I think that she's here to destroy Voldemort.”
The boys sat with their mouths open. Ron’s jaw was almost on his knees.
“Aw c’mon Hermione.”
“Its true Ron. I’m sure of it. Harry, have you used a computer?”
“Yeh, why.”
Well, when you want to copy a file to somewhere, but still save the original, what do you do?”
You copy and paste…..Shit. Hermione. Do you really think… ?”
Yes I do Harry.”
Ron was looking confused now. He knew nothing of computers.
“So I might not have to… you know?”
“That’s right.”
She was grinning, Ron was puzzled, but things were slowly dawning on him and Harry.
Well Harry didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or... well he didn’t know how to react really. What if it was a mistake? What if it was just a story someone made up? What if it was true? Too many what if’s.
“Nah! She’s only a kid. And she’s a girl. How can a girl defeat You Know Who?”
“I don’t know Ron, but I am going to find out.
The next morning all the contented feelings had gone from Jane when she awoke. There were clean clothes on the chair next to her bed, and a pair of trainers. They looked new. “wow.” She rushed off to get her shower and came back to dress.
Seeing Poppy further down the ward, bending over someone in a bed she called to her. Madame Pomfrey, my clothes...”
“Oh. I haven’t had time yet dear. Just give me five minute and I'll be with you.”
Jane was puzzled. If Poppy didn’t bring the clothes, who did? She got dressed and made the bed while she waited for Poppy to finish with the two boys further down the ward.
A short while later she came up to Jane. “Oh you found something to wear. That’s good.”
“But I didn’t. I thought you had.”
Just then Kali appeared.
“Oooo. Assimilator looks nice in clothes Kali picked. I hopes you likes them Miss. I can be changing them ifs you wishes it. I is bringing all your things from now on.”
“No Kali. No they're perfect. Thank you very much. It was very good of you.”
Kali beamed adoringly. “I do anything for you Miss. Kali is being here for you always. Other Elves is jealous of Kali now. They is all wanting to serve the Assimilator.”
“Kali, why do you keep calling me the Assimithingy?”
“Because that is what you are Miss. You is important. You is saving us all in the magical world. If you says Kali, I is with you right away,” With that she was gone.
Nurse and girl looked at each other.
“What was all that about Poppy?”
“I don’t know But I think that you should tell the Headmaster when you see him. Would you mind going down for breakfast on your own dear. I am rather busy here and won‘t have time to go down.”
“Are you sure you don’t want me to stay and help? I don’t mind. I like it up here with you.”
Poppy felt moved by that. “No, you go on. You can’t stay cooped up here all the time. Go on dear. You’ll be fine.” She gave the girl a hug and went back to see to her patients. She knew Jane did not want to go with Albus and Severus today.
Jane left the infirmary feeling nervous. Trying to think of a way to get out of going back to the farm, and not coming up with anything.
She was so caught up in her own thoughts she was not looking where she was going.
‘Bump!’
“Oh, I’m sorry.” She said as she looked up into a pair of cold grey eyes.
“That’s alright sweetness. I can think of much worse things to bump into.” His eyes travelled down her body.
‘Sweetness? Ugh!‘ She felt like she was naked while he looked her up and down.
Kali had given her a pair of tailored, navy blue trousers that hugged her bottom without being over tight and a cream vee neck jumper with navy blue piping around the neck, cuffs and hem. It was quite figure hugging and showed off her figure well. She had her hair in a ponytail today. Poppy said she had a very pretty face and should show it off. She still didn’t think she was pretty but it kept her hair tidy.
“Well I’ll be going then.”
“Please, allow me to escort you to breakfast. I take it that is where you were heading. My name is Draco, by the way. Draco Malfoy.”
“Err¾
Yeah, but I can get there on my own, really you don’t have to.”
“It would be my pleasure.” Draco was laying the charm on. And he was laying it on thick.
She looked at him and her eyes drifted to his two friends. They were leering at her and she was feeling very uncomfortable.
“This is Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe. Please, allow me.” He held his arm out to her.
She felt she didn’t have much choice now. Not without being rude, and anyway she was probably being stupid. After all, he was very polite and had said nothing wrong. So that morning she walked into the hall for breakfast on the arm of a very smug looking Draco. His two cohorts trailing behind. None of them knew about Draco’s magic and knowledge instilling itself into Jane as she held onto his arm.
Severus was already at breakfast and back to his usual bad tempered self when they walked through the door. His jaw tightened when he saw them. ‘What the hell was she doing on Malfoy’s arm? This is not good.’
When Ron, Harry and Hermione saw them they were not happy either. The last thing they needed was for Malfoy to start influencing her. What if he dragged her over to the other side.
“Harry, we need to let the Headmaster know about her. Tell him what Hermione found out.” Ron whispered.
“He probably knows already. But maybe your right." Put in Hermione. "Don't you agree Harry?”
“Yeh. We’ve got double potions first. We’ll go after that.”
Jane and Draco had reached the head table. Crabbe and Goyle had already gone to the Slytherin table and were busy filling up their plates.
“Thanks Draco.”
“You are welcome Jane. I hope I shall have the pleasure of ‘bumping’ into you again quite soon.”
She went pink when he said that and gave a nervous laugh. “Not literally I hope.”
“I would not complain. It has been a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
“Miss White.
"We have a busy day ahead of us." Perhaps if you were to sit and have some breakfast.” The Potion master suggested. It was not a request.
She nodded at Malfoy and headed over to Severus and sat down.
“What’s up?” We were only talking.”
“I did not say that anything was amiss.”
"No, but you spoke like there was. I knocked into him on the stairs but he was okay about it. He’s a bit up on himself though isn’t he?”
Severus lowered his voice. “Mr Malfoy is a very dangerous young man. You would do well to remember that Mess White and stay clear of him.”
Malfoy was watching them from his seat. Smirking. He felt he had made a good impression on her. ‘She wont be able to resist me.’ he thought to himself.
Jane was thinking that he was just a polite snob. Good looking but still a snob.
“Why is he dangerous?”
“Never mind why Miss White. Just heed my words.”
She huffed. “Will you stop calling me Miss White all the time. You know my first name is Jane.”
“No I will not. It would be entirely inappropriate, Miss White.” He put extra emphasis on the Miss this time.
“Huh. You’re as much of a snob as he is.”
“I am not a snob. It is common curtsey to address you as I do and I shall continue to do so.”
She sulked as she ate. As this was the first time eating breakfast in the Great Hall and she got a big shock when all of a sudden there were owls flying all over the place. One landed on the table in front of her and shit on her plate while Severus took a newspaper from it and gave it a piece of bacon before it flew off.
Severus noticed her look of awe as she watched the owls.
“They might be reliable but at least the postman doesn’t ‘shit’ in my food.”
He let out a small laugh when he looked down at her plate.
Suddenly Kali appeared. “Bad owl doing that in the young Miss’ food. Kali will get you some more. What would you like? Kali will get you anything you want.”
“Thanks Kali but I’ve had enough.”
The elf’s ears drooped. The Assimilator is not pleased with Kali. I is a bad elf.”
“No your not Kali. It’s just that the owl has put me off. It’s not you. Really.” She had taken hold of the elf’s hand and smiled at her. Don’t worry about it.”
Mistress is kind. Kali will go now and find you nice coat to wear today when you go out with Professors. Kali is your most humble servant Miss. Out of all the elf’s you is choosing Kali to be of service to you.” Then Kali was gone.
“This place is bloody bonkers. You keep calling Miss all the time and now Kali keeps calling me assimili-whats-it.” You’re all mad.”
“Quite. Shall we go Miss White.”
She glared at him but got up anyway and they headed up to the Headmasters office.
When they reach the gargoyle that guarded the entrance Severus quietly muttered “I love Jelly Babies.”
Jane looked at him. “What did you say?”
“Never mind.” He gruffed.
The gargoyle put his hand behind his ear. Speak up. I can’t hear you.”
“Bloody Hell!” Severus grumbled. “I love jelly Babies.”
Jane burst into giggles and the gargoyle winked at her. He had heard the password the first time but felt like having a bit of fun with the potions master. And it pleased the Assimilator, which in turn pleased the gargoyle. It grinned evily as it moved aside to reveal the moving staircase.
She followed him as he stalked through. He was obviously put out.
“Do you really love jelly babies?” she asked through her chuckles.
“Do not be impertinent.”
“I’m not. I’m just asking.”
“You are not just asking Miss White.”
She said nothing more but she was still giggling when they walked through the door to find Albus’ smiling face waiting for them.
Severus groaned. “You two are as bad as each other. You know that don’t you.”
“Probably. But I do not mind. Do you Miss White?”
“No I don’t, and pleeeease, call me Jane.”
“Very well Jane. But only in private. It would not do to be anything other than correct when we are in the company of others. You need a coat. You may use my floo to go and collect it.”
“I don’t need to. Watch. Kali!”
Kali appeared in front of a grinning Jane. He was holding a light grey woollen coat in the muggle style that she was used to. Well, not really used to. All her life Aunt Aggie had gotten her stuff from jumble sales or charity shops. She didn’t mind but it would have been nice if they fitted sometimes.
“Thank you Kali. It’s a lovely coat.”
“Kali is pleased you likes it Miss.” Kali disappeared.
“Sir?” Albus looked at her. “That elf, Kali, she keeps calling me the assi.… She looked to Severus for help.
“The elves have been calling her the Assimilator.”
“Yeah and Kali keeps telling me what an honour it is to serve me. Are they all like that and what’s that thing they keep calling me?”
“I think I swill be able to answer these questions and more when we return from your Uncles today.”
“Do I really have to go with you? Can’t I wait here? Please don’t make me go.” Her voice faded to a whisper as she finished speaking.
Severus couldn’t help himself. He put his hand on her shoulder. “You really do not have anything to fear. You have my word that I shall protect you at all times.”
As she raised her eyes to his she knew, without knowing why, that she could trust him about this. His sincerity was showing openly on his face and in his eyes. She nodded.
“Good. Shall we go? Severus, Jane I have procured a portkey for us. He held up a washing up liquid bottle.
Jane looked at him as if he were mad.
“Just put a finger on it Jane. It will not do you any harm."
Seeing them both touching the bottle, she put her hand out and touched it.
All of a sudden she felt as if she was flying and spinning at great speed. She had no control and tried to remove her finger from the bottle but it wouldn’t come off.
The two men holding on with her looked like a blur of black and purple as they spun. She felt like a human catherine wheel.
Just when she thought she would be sick and pass out they stopped and she landed face first in a large muddy puddle. Panicking she inhaled some of the mud and started to choke as she felt a hand grab the back of her coat and pull her up.
“Fuckinell” was all she managed to splutter.
Rubbing her muddy hand across her even muddier face she wiped her eyes as best she could and saw two faces looking back at her. One was smiling and the other was smirking.
Severus let go of her and grabbed her again just as quickly as she nearly toppled back into the puddle. She had not got her balance yet.
“It is a strange experience travelling by portkey for the first time is it not?”
“Strange is not the word I’d use.” she scowled at the headmaster. “Look at the state of me.”
He waved his hand in front of her and she was spotless again.
“I wish I could do that.”
He waved his hand again and she was soaked with muddy water once more.
“What yer do that for?”
“Miss White. I believe that you can do many things that you are not yet aware of. Now. Clean yourself.”
“What! Don’t be daft.”
“Miss White. You did many things you had not done before when we were in the Room of Requirement. Remember?”
She glowered down at herself and saw the state she was in. AGAIN. ‘Yuck!” She thought. And as she thought it she was spotless again. “Thank you.”
"It was you who did it Miss White, not either of us.
“Really. I did this? Wow.” Can I do something else now.
“Not unless you wish to end up with your face back in the puddle. Now come on.”
“Don’t you threaten me. I want to do some more magic.”
She looked at Albus and his robes changed from purple to green. She was excited now and changed them to orange.
A little loud I think, even for me.” Albus smiled at her as his robes went back to the dark green she had originally put on him.
She looked at Severus, a mischievous glint in her eye.
“Don’t you dare young lady or I shall put you over my knee and give you a good spanking.”
But he was too late. He was wearing faded blue flared denim jeans and a yellow shirt with red poppies all over it and a large gold medallion round his neck. His hair was considerably longer, reaching to his waist and was curly. His boots were purple suede and he had a moustache and beard the reached halfway down his chest.
She remembered seeing someone on the telly like that once.
Albus couldn’t help it. He burst out laughing. Severus was gob smacked. He was also furious. As he took a step towards her he looked so threatening that she began to shake with fear. His appearance changed back to normal immediately.
“Do not try anything like that again Miss White. I do not make idle threats.”
“Calm down Severus. She meant no harm.”
“Lets just get this over with shall we.” And Severus stalked off, not bothering to see if they were following him.
“Professor.” She called. He stopped but did not turn. “I’m Sorry.”
“Apology excepted Miss White. This time.” He carried on walking.
“Professor.”
“What is it now?”
“Your going the wrong way Sir.”
He turned and walked back to them. Then perhaps if you have done with you’re games you could lead us in the right direction.”
Jane scanned the area one more time. She really did not want to be here. It was all well and good having a laugh but now was truly not the time. These two men were going to make her go back and face her Uncle and she was terrified. She needed them with her if she was going to get through this. ‘Oh Shit. I can’t do this.” “IcantIcanIcantIcant.’
As if they had read her mind both stood either side of her and put a hand on her shoulder
“Do not fear Jane. You can do this.” She swallowed loudly, took a deep breath and headed towards ‘Hell.’
By the time they were at the back door to the farmhouse Jane was trembling violently. Her hands clenched tightly at her sides. She was remembering all the things that Uncle Pete had done to her. Late at night in her bed as he stuck his thing in her while he rutted and grunted on top of her after he hit and punched her. Hurting her, crushing her, his hand over her mouth to stop her screaming and she couldn’t breath and thought she would die and she wanted to at those times. Leaving her there for days at a time.
Aunt Aggie telling her off for something and she didn’t know what she had done, beating her and then throwing her in the coal-hole because she cried or didn’t cry when she got beaten.
When Severus had noticed her fear, he had put his hand on top of her head. Just to calm her and let her know that she was not alone. What he got from her instead, sickened him and chilled him to the bone. Everything that Jane was reliving in her head was transferring to him. Every image of every deed that she endured while she had been here, Severus saw with clarity. All the feelings of shame and humiliation, the dread and the hurt, the desperation of trying to please and not understanding what she had done wrong to deserve these punishments or why she should be grateful for what was done to her.
Now he knew for certain why she was so afraid to come back here. He’d had his suspicions, but never imagined anything like this. He'd seen and done terrible, terrible things as a Death Eater. But this girl had suffered alone like this for years. Not just a few hours with the blessed release of the ‘Avada’ at the end of the evenings revel.
He removed his hand. He had to. He could not bare to see any more.
Albus didn’t know what had transpired between the two. He was slightly in front of them having knocked on the door and was waiting for an answer.
The door was swung open and there stood Uncle Pete.
“Mr White?” Albus asked.
“Yeh, what D’ya want?"
"My name is Albus Dumbledor, and this is Professor Severus Snape."
Severus stepped forward. Pete was big but Severus was taller by several inches and towered menacingly over the man in the doorway.
“Oo is it Pete? If it’s them ruddy sales reps agen, get rid of ‘em.” came Aunt Aggie’s voice from the kitchen.
Then he noticed Jane. “Where the ‘ell did ya find er? L’il bastard run off she did. Ungrateful cow. Me an ‘er Aunt looked after ‘er sin she were two year ow’d an look at ow she pays us back. Buggerin off in the middle ‘o the night. It’s Jane Aggie. Two professors ‘ave brought ‘er. I ‘ope she ant caused yer any trouble. It was good ‘o ya at bring er back for us. Thanks very much sirs. We’ll tek 'er now so ye can be on yer way. Ye mus’ be busy gents an I do‘n wanna ‘old yer up.”
“We are in no rush Mr White and Jane has been no trouble at all. But we have travelled quite a distance to get her and it really would be nice if you were to allow us to come in and rest for a little while.”
Pete looked stunned for a moment. No one had ever invited themselves into his house like that.
Before he could object Albus was making his way over the doorstep.
As Severus made to follow he felt a small hand take hold of his and tug at him. He knew why she was trying to hold back but he took a firm hold of her hand and gently but firmly pulled her into the house with him. Their was no way he would ever let these troll’s get their hands on her again. He had never in his life cared for anyone before, well apart from Albus and Minerva. But this young woman who was gripping his hand to the point of being painful, had had no one to care for her or protect her. As Jane’s grip was tight on his left hand, his right was tightly gripping his wand. All he wanted to do was to cast the killing curse on these two and take her far away from here. To let her know she was safe, that he would never let anything bad happen to her again. Ever.
Albus sat himself down at the table. “Do you know, a cup of tea would be lovely right now. Then perhaps we can all have a nice chat about Jane here.”
When Severus sat down Jane still would not let go of his hand so she stood instead, pressed against him slightly so he would not move away from her. He allowed this. If it made her feel safe then he was willing to go along with it.
Aunt Aggie was too flustered to say anything yet and she got up and went over to the stove and began to make tea.
Pete looked at Jane. “Well you an-arf put a lot ‘o people to a lot ‘o trouble me girl. Get at yer room an put some ‘o yer own clothes on. Ye can give that posh stuff back. It aint fer the likes 'o you. If'n yer good yer can ‘elp me wi‘ the ev‘nin milkin later.”
Severus stood. "She will not be going anywhere alone in this house Mr White. She will be returning with us, once you have answered our questions.”
Jane looked up at Severus with an awed expression on her now white face. Nobody, but nobody spoke to Uncle Pete like that. ‘Shit Uncle Pete will kill him.’
Pete went such a deep angry red he was nearly purple. “Jus who the fuck d’ye think yer talking to. You ave no right ter come in ere layin down the law ter me. This is my ‘ouse an she’s my niece an I say what she does an don’t do. Now you better go before I do summat you’ll regret. Ya jumped up bloody ponce.”
‘Oh oh.’ Jane didn’t like how this was going.
“Sit down Mr White, NOW. As I told you. She will NOT be staying.”
“Is tha right. An who are you to be telling me what she will be doin? Ah, I get it. Yer want ‘er for yersen don yer.” That’s wot it is. Yer found out she’s a good tight fuck an ye don wanna give er back now. Well yev had yer go at ‘er an now yev got at giv ‘er back, so there.”
Severus had drawn his wand by this time. He could not believe what this man was accusing him off. His voice was low now. Dangerous.
“I would not even dream of doing to this young woman what you have done to her. Have been doing to her since she was a young child. I have known some very sick men and women in my time Mr White, but I have never, ever come across anything as low and disgusting as you.”
Jane was numb. She had not heard Severus‘ reply. All she had heard was her Uncle telling them what she had done.
‘They know. They know. Oh God. Now what will happen. They’ll hate me now. They know all about my shame. She could never look them in the face again. Not that she would have to. They wont take her back with them now . Not now that they know what I am. A dirty, ugly little whore.’
She looked up at the Potions Master. He had a disgusted look on his face. It was too much. She could'nt take any more. She couldn’t bare to see the looks on the faces of the only two men she had ever come to trust. She had only known them for a few days but they had made her feel special and wanted, no one ever made her feel like that before. And Poppy. She loved Poppy. Before any of them new what was happening, she pulled her hand from Severus’ and disappeared.
