Hey everyone, new chapter for you. I wrote another one but accidently deleted it :,( I don' think this one is as good but It's all I could remember. Sorry. Anyway I hope you like it and I hope you all had a good easter :) Enjoy...

As the weeks went by Hermione grew more and more worried as Severus frequently dissapeared and often returned sporting bruises and cuts, but when asked would say nothing on the matter and quickly change topic. 

Hermione was determined to find out what was going on, so after lunch one afternoon instead of going up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room she sneakily followed Severus to the Dungeons to find out what was going on. 

Rounding a corner she saw Severus being slammed against the wall by Crabbe and Goyle Sr. Shocked, Hermione quickly hid herself behind a column and continued to watch in secret. 

"How many times are we going to have to beat you up before you join us."  Goyle spat  menacingly, his face an inch away from Severus' hooked nose. 

"I won't join you, I don't understand why you want me anyway." He replied defiantly. 

"We don't want you, he does. Dunno why. You can't do anything, special. You're no better than us." Crabbe sniggered.  Now it was Severus' turn to snigger, Crabbe and Goyle better than him. Sure, he'd like to see them brew a Polyjuice potion to perfection. But before Severus could contemplate other subjects that he could outsmart Crabbe and Goyle in a chubby fist was slammed into his nose and he heard a terrible crack. 

"Did you just laugh at us smartass?" Goyle leered before slamming a knee into Severus' gut and shoving him to the dungeon floor. "Think about it 'eh, see you soon Snape." Goyle walked off as Crabbed brutally kicked Severus in the back before slumping after his fellow cronie. 

Hermione could hold herself any longer and she ran to Severus. 

"Oh Severus, are you alright?" She asked, starting to weep as she knelt next to his crumpled body. 

"-Ermione wha are you doing 'ere" Severus said, his voice obscured by his recently broken nose. 

"I was foll- coming to find you, I hadn't spoken to you since potions." Hermione said falsely, thinking it would be better if Severus didn't find out that she was following him. "Oh Gods, look at you. Lets get you to Madam Pomfrey."  

"No it's alri- Okay" Severus gave in as he collapsed against Hermione's chest.
