Punishment- Reader POV

Chapter 9

Snape's POV

It took all my power not to storm after her, to grab Lucius by his shoulders and stop him. My eyes burned through the back of his head, I watched them leave the room. I felt useless. A poor young girl would suffer and no one would even blink an eye. I returned my attention to Cissa who was also watching them leave. I knew she did not know a thing but I wanted that to change, but how? "This party is lovely," I say trying to catch her attention but she was a sickly shade of green.

"He has been spending a lot of time with her in private, started over the summer, what do you think they are doing up there?" She asked turning to me. I just shrugged, how could I tell her? It was not my place.

"I have no idea," I looked deep into her eyes. I could see what she was thinking but it was all wrong. She thinks Y/n enjoys this. She has no idea her husband has been raping and tormenting this poor girl. Narcissa took a long sip of her wine and we dropped the conversation, talking about anything but what we both knew was going on. Not too long after I heard a muffled shriek making my stomach drop. Everyone else at the party was way too intoxicated to notice. "Cissa, don't you hear that?"
"Hm?" she was also buzzed and being mixed with the echoing chatter from everyone else it was so hard to hear the screams. Lucius had always been clever when it came to protecting what he had to have.

"Screaming, coming from upstairs, I think it's best you go check, it's not my place," I give her an almost pleading look.

"Oh right, yes," she put her wine glass down and shuffled nervously out of the room. I watched her leave. I did not move from our spot. I stared at the door like a madman. When the door finally reopened it was not Narcissa, it was Lucius. My jaw clenched as I watched him waltz over to me with a cheeky grin on his face. Oh, how I wanted to slap it off his face.

"Severus my old pal how are you enjoying the party?" All I could do was glare, his careless behavior was infuriating.

"It is wonderful," I muttered. He poured himself a glass of red wine.

"Want to know something even more wonderful," he said sarcastically, "I was giving Y/n her Christmas present, and she was moaning like a good little girl, her pussy gripped my cock like it would have killed her if I pulled out and her body was reacting so nicely to me but then just before she was about to cum on my cock, she moaned for you, she moaned for her Professor," he laughed psychotically. I felt a lump grow in my throat but I did my best to swallow it. Did Y/n really fancy me? "Now I know what you may be thinking. Why would she want me I am poor and ugly and pathetic. Well, she was very adamant about how you are not pathetic and somehow got the idea that I was. She must be so in love with you to ever think that you are more valuable than me." he was so pathetic, "So I did what needed to be done, I gave her a small beating and used the cruciatus curse, unfortunately for me however, I only got to use it once before my darling Cissa came up," he finished his glass in one long sip. I was livid, how could he use those curses on her? "Now if you think I am going to let you use what is mine without paying a price you'd be mistaken Severus, that girl is mine," he said through gritted teeth before walking off. Did I want Y/n in the same way? I must not it would be so wrong, she is my student... But she was so wonderful, the way she carried herself even with all she had going on. There was so much uncertainty surrounding my feelings for her, however, one thing struck clearly in my mind, I was going to kill Lucius Malfoy
