Hermione walked in to Snape’s room and smiled as he looked up and scowled at her. He muttered out a hello and went back to reading to himself apparently ignoring her today. That worked for her as for some reason she felt a little guilty about the night she spent having sex with Harry. The first time had been a little awkward the second time was a little better but by the third time she was riding him like a broom. Now, however she felt like she had cheated on Severus which was stupid because he was a patient and she wasn’t allowed to have that kind of relationship with him. She asked him all the questions that she needed to and when he offered up no more answers than the ones she expected she said that she would be back later and left him alone, curious about his new attitude.
“Hermione” Angelina called “Malfoy’s here”
“Thank you” She said “I will be just a moment, leave him in the waiting room and I will be out for him in a few moments”
“Okay” The dark-skinned woman walked out the secured doors to let him know. Hermione went in to Lucius’s room and escorted him to the meeting room and set him at the table charming his feet to the floor but leaving his hands free.
“I’m scared” Lucius confided “The only time I can remember this brand of fear is when his mother was in labor with him...I paced out in the hall because it wasn’t right for pureblooded wizards to watch the birth of their children” He sighed heavily and ran a shaking hand through his long blonde hair “Six hours later I heard him cry and I was terrified to go in and see him”
“But you did” Hermione said.
“He was so perfect I feared I’d drop him” Lucius said “After I got used to him I vowed to never let him go and I fear that worked against me”
“I think you need to tell him this” Hermione said “And not just me” She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before excusing herself to go get his son.
As previously agreed upon, only Draco was sitting in the waiting room, he was wearing a black muggle suit and looked nervously impatient. She looked from the door a few times and watched as he stood and paced a few times before moving quickly back to his previous seat and looked at him feet which were moving back and forth.
“Draco” Hermione said looking at him “Your father is ready”
“Thank you” He stood and walked past her allowing her to walk past him once he was on the other side of the door. They were just walking by the healers desk when there was a blood curdling scream and Hermione slammed Draco behind the desk and put up a ward to keep him in there. He stood locked behind the ward, able to see and hear what was going on but as they had taken his wand and locked him behind the desk there was nothing he could do to help.
“What is it?” Hermione asked.
“Snape” Angelina announced “He bit Olivia...on her second week, I’ll be surprised if she ever comes back” Draco’s surprised look was mirrored by Hermione’s
“He bit her really hard” Angelina explained helping the crying girl “Derrick, bring her upstairs to get this fixed before it can become too bad of a scar”
“Where is he?” Hermione asked.
“In his room” Angelina answered “Do you want me to take over the counseling session so you can work with Snape, you are the only one he’s good to”
“No” Hermione said “Keep him charmed to his bed and I will continue on with Lucius’s counseling sessions then deal with Snape” She sighed and ran a hand through her hair “I wondered why he was acting strange when I was in there earlier, what happened over the weekend?”
“Nothing that out of the ordinary” She thought for a moment “Bellatrix had a lot of lucidity on Sunday”
“What was she saying?” Hermione asked.
“Nothing more than saying that you were a Mudblood and that you were fucking Harry” Angelina said “Nothing too out of the ordinary”
“It is if Snape thinks it’s true” Hermione frowned
“As your senior healer I need to ask you something and you need to answer truthfully” Angelina crossed her arms over her chest, she frowned at Hermione but continued on because there had been something in Hermione’s voice that made her do a double-take on the conversation “I know we make light of some stuff but...has something happened between the two of you?”
“What do you mean?” She asked in a horrified manner, thinking that surely her friend was making a joke.
“Have you and Severus Snape had sex or some kind of sexual run-in?” Angelina asked
“No” She answered “He always says sexual things but he doesn’t mean them and even if he does I always decline” She opened her mouth and then closed it again.
“What is it?” Angelina pressed.
“He asked me if” She started “Once he learned his words and got out of here if I would go on a date with him and I said yes” Angelina sucked in some air “But it was helping him, he’s been learning quicker than I ever imagined, he’s been off his potions, uncharmed to the surfaces in his room and doing therapy with me!”
“And at the first hint that you may possibly be sleeping with another man he freaks out and attacks someone” Angelina pointed out “Look” She took the other woman’s hands “Bellatrix has been doing amazing since you started working with her and Lucius...that man will be out of here before the year is out I’m sure because he is doing awesome because of you” She let out a breath “Just leave Snape alone”
“I can’t!” Hermione said horrified.
“If you don’t leave him alone then I will tell Bridget and they will send him to Azkaban until they think he is okay enough to be released to the public” Angelina put her hand on Hermione’s “I’m sorry”
“I have a therapy session” Hermione said around the emotion clogging her throat “I will leave him alone. Come Draco” She lowered the ward and led him away.
~~~((@))~~~
Hermione sat at her kitchen table hours later with a cup of tea. That night had been an unbearably long one but she had managed to get through it, Draco had been genuinely surprised with the progress his father was making. He also promised to keep visiting him and coming to the meetings as he actually saw a difference in the man. She lowered her head down to the cool table top near her cup and she fought against the tears that were pooling in her eyes.
“Hermione” Harry said “Are you okay?”
“I don’t think so” She whispered, she launched in to the story of what happened telling him everything, including her own feelings.
“Wow” Harry said “Well, Draco and I are paying for his treatment and I am a the war-hero I’m sure we can complain enough to get you back in there”
“No” She shook her head “It was on a contract I signed when I accepted the job. There is to be no sexual relationships of any nature with patients and as a Healer you are to never make a promise that you can’t keep to a patient”
“But you didn’t” He stressed “You would have kept that promise”
“But his reaction to the mere thought that I was sleeping with you made him fall so far back to where he was” Hermione shook her head “I’m an idiot to think that I would make a difference here”
“When’s your graduation?” He asked.
“On Saturday” She answered “That’s when I am completely done”
“Then quit after graduation” Harry offered up.
“I can’t just leave Lucius” She said “At this point I’m really too angry with Bellatrix to give a shit but I could never leave Lucius, not until he is out of that place”
“Can’t he leave now with an in-home healer?” Harry asked, surprising Hermione with his medical knowledge.
“Yes” She answered “But he has to have someplace to live and he’s not “healed” enough to have his own place and the rebuilding of his relationship with Draco is still too new for him to move back home”
“Hermione” He tried but she stood up and hugged him.
“Thank you” She kissed him on the cheek and made her way to her bedroom to sleep before her next shift that night.
Her sleep was littered with memories and dreams that made no sense. In her brain she saw Snape as he used to be, scary and intimidating and the best, most challenging professor she ever had. His refusal to accept her answers and to give her honest grades made her push to be better than what she would have been had he fawned all over her the way Minerva had. When her alarm went off at four that evening her eyes snapped open with a new fire, it was looking at her memories that had truly reminded her of the person she was dealing with. She got out of bed, showered and dressed in comfortable jeans and sweater then headed to work.
“Angelina” Hermione said as she walked to the healers desk “I need to talk to Snape”
“No” She said “I’m sorry, Hermione” She sighed “If he starts to get better and you two are apart then I will think about allowing you to work together once again but not before that”
“I just need to tell him what’s going on” Hermione pressed and the older woman frowned and looked at her “Everyone has been turning their backs on him recently and I don’t want him to think that I’ve done the same, please”
“You’ve got five minutes” She said before making a show of looking at her watch, raising her brows and then walked away.
Hermione walked to the end of the hallway and knocked on the door before opening the door and walking in. Severus was charmed to the seat next to the magically placed window, his head turned slowly towards her and he sneered before turning back to the window. She watched him for a minute or so missing the man that would have had a joke or sexual innuendo at the ready for her. She shook her head and walked towards him knowing that there was only four more minutes left.
“What the hell happened?” She asked sitting on the chair she dragged over. He didn’t answer just shook his head slightly and never met her eye she saw his hand slowly move to grab the marker then he wrote something down.
‘How was your weekend?’ He wrote ‘Fuck anyone good?’
“Severus” She snapped “I don’t...we don’t have time for your games!” He looked at her with an eyebrow raised
“W-why n-n-not?” He asked
“You’re little tantrum led to some questions about the relationship we shared” Hermione told him “Oh yeah” She said slowly when his eyes widened slightly “I told them that I agreed to date you if you learned your words and got out of here” She looked down at her hands “And now, well now I’m not allowed to work with you anymore”
‘You lost your job?’ He wrote, she was happy to see a quick glimpse of guilt pass over his features before the gates closed on his emotions again.
“I am not allowed to work with you anymore” She informed.
“I w-will b-b-be w-w-worse” He warned “T-th-ey can-n-n-not t-take you aw-way f-from me”
“You can’t do that” She said quickly as she heard the tell-tale tapping of Angelina’s heels on the floor coming closer to get her “If things go well maybe I can work with you again”
‘No!’ He wrote ‘This is bullshit’
“This is your doing!” She snapped angrily “Had you acted like a man or not a sullen teenage boy they would never have looked in to our interactions!”
“Hermione” Angelina said from the doorway “Lucius is getting ready for his private counseling sessions”
“Yes” She forced a smile on her face “I’m coming”
She looked at him before standing up and walking out of the room while Angelina entered it to give him a sedative potion so they could get him showered with hopefully very little blood-shed. Hermione walked away down the hallway and joined Lucius in his room smiling at him with her notepad at the ready.
“So what would you like to talk about today?” She asked.
“You” He answered “We spend most of our time talking about me, so let’s talk about you for once”
“These are your counseling sessions” She pointed out “But what is it that you want to know?” She would amuse him, he was doing so well that it didn’t feel right to deny him such a simple request.
“Are you dating anyone, Miss. Granger?” He asked.
“No” She answered.
“Where do you live?” He asked.
“Spawnspear” She answered “It’s about twenty miles away from Diagon Alley. It’s an all Wizarding town but there’s maybe only a population of about a hundred and fifteen and that’s including Harry and I”
“You live with Potter?” He asked in surprise “Isn’t he married yet?”
“He and Ginny are engaged” Hermione said “But he’s paying attention to his career as an Auror and she is living it up with her Quidditch team”
“Holy Head Harpies?” He ventured and she nodded “Isn’t she worried that Potter will pull his head out of his arse and realize that you are beautiful and single?”
“I don’t...” She blushed furiously “I don’t think that...I’m not beautiful”
“On the contrary, Miss Granger” Lucius said with a laugh that sounded so much like the laugh she remember from her childhood both chilling and sweet “If you weren’t beautiful then my son wouldn’t have been so completely enamored with you in school and Severus wouldn’t be biting unsuspecting interns for no other reason than the thought of another man touching you”
“That’s not why...” She stopped and looked at him “How did you know?”
“I’m not deaf” He answered “And Draco told me about it when you had to step out to talk to Angelina”
“Whatever” She said “It’s not true”
“I’ve known him for many years” Lucius said “Believe me when I say he likes you, he is attracted to you for many reasons, I’m sure”
“Yeah” She snorted “I have tits and an ass” Her face turned bright red and she looked away “I shouldn’t have said that, I’m sorry”
“You do have nice tits” He said taking that moment to look at them unhindered “And a great ass at that” He licked his lips and seemed lost in fantasies for a minute before he grinned “But you have intellect, compassion, your empathetic and loving so...it’s not that hard to see why he is so attracted to you”
“Well” She smiled “Until he decides to act like an adult there is nothing we can do about that”
“Do me a favor” He said “If you don’t mind”
“What’s that?” She asked with a smile.
“Give Severus a chance to act like that adult before you give in to someone else” He said “Even if that ‘someone else’ happens to be Harry Potter”
“Don’t worry” She said “He is very happy with Ginny and I don’t have any other suitors and don’t plan to”
“Good” He said “My son told me that if in two months all is going well and we are getting along I will be able to leave here and move in to Malfoy Manor again”
“That’s great” She answered “You will of course continue to see a healer for your counseling and anything else”
“I want you to come with me” He said suddenly “I want to employ you as my private healer, when that day comes”
“How is it?” She asked “That you can give me a speech about being here for Snape and then ask me to leave in two months to follow you to Malfoy manor?”
“I ask because I will need a healer” He said “I will need counseling, potions to help me adjust to the world outside and of course someone to help integrate me back in to the world and help keep an eye on my stress levels when I am able to work again” He raised his brows at her “Why should I pay four mediocre healers/personal assistant to take care of me when I can pay just one perfect healer and personal assistant”
“I will need to take time to think about this, you understand” She said, she wouldn’t completely ignore this offer she may need it later.
“Wonderful” He smiled “I will pay you well, you can live in the manor house, the guest house or I can rent you an apartment if you like that town your living in” She looked at him “I can be needy sometimes I will admit and may become attached but I promise never to bother yours and Severus’s relationship”
“What if I choose to not date Severus?” She snorted “Not going to try to push it upon me?”
“No” He answered “I promise to be good”
“And if I want children or something?” She asked.
“Well” He said “I am getting up there in age and I’m not sure if I can still make children...” She roared with laughter.
“You know what I mean” She laughed “What if I want to get married and have children what will you do then?”
“I will...wait for that to happen” He answered with a grin “I do believe my hour has been up for twenty minutes now”
“I will see you later then” She said standing and walking out of his room. She shook her head and walked to the healers desk where Angelina sat going through Snapes file and muttering to herself.
“He doesn’t need all those potions” Hermione said “Give him a chance”
“He will take whatever number of potions I feel like giving him” Angelina answered “Bridget agrees with me that he needs this potion” She held up an electric blue potion with the sneer.
“You can’t do that” Hermione said, horrified with the outcome.
“Hermione” Bridget came out of her office “We are starting it tonight, I know you two are closer than you should be but this has to be done”
“It has horrible side-effects!” Hermione snapped “Bridget...don’t do this”
“I’m sorry” She looked like she really was, her expression much softer than Angelina’s who looked like a kid on Christmas morning.
“But he can’t defend himself” She whispered to the two women “He can barely speak and you know what had been happening to him before...”
“I’m sorry” She replied and walked away, taking the potion with her. Hermione walked to the desk and picked up two pieces of parchment writing out a letter to both Harry and Draco.
Harry-
Bridget and Angelina are giving Severus Snape a potion that has horrible side-effects. It’s known as a ‘Muting’ potion, it will inevitably make him a vegetable but the biggest side-effect other than possibly placing him in a coma he may never awaken from is the loss of magic. This will basically kill him, you have to fight against this and fast he’s getting the first potion now!
-Hermione
She sent out the second letter and then sat in the chair and waited. She had tears in her eyes when the two healers left his room, Bridget again assured her that this was all for the best. This way he wouldn’t be able to attack anyone anymore but just as Hermione said anyone could do whatever they wanted to him and he wouldn’t be able to protect himself. Bridget went back in to her office to do some paperwork in his file and Angelina sat down with a small, cold and completely out of character smile on her face.
“What is wrong with you?” Hermione asked “What you’re doing is horrible and inhumane”
“Let’s just say that he is finally paying for the horrors he bestowed on many students” Angelina said, Hermione was about to rip her a new one when the secured doors were blasted open and an irate Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy came in.
