Dumbledore's Pawn | A Snamione Fanfiction

Chapter 5

Hermione woke in a unfamiliar room. It was different from her Gryffindor dormitory. It was colder than what she was used to. Getting up, she put on a robe she placed out last night. Walking into the living room to see Professor Snape sitting up, admiring the fire. Hearing her footsteps, he turned to her. Seeing she had just woken up.

"Ah, Miss Granger. Had a good rest?" He asked out of politeness.

Hermione couldn't get used to how nice he had been since yesterday.
"Um, yes. Thank you for your bed."

The room went silent for a moment. The two looking at each other, as if waiting for the other to speak. When a few minutes passed by, he began to speak.

"So..., about yesterday when I said I would explain."

"Um, yes...?"

Severus began to tell her everything about him and his double act. How he was originally working with Voldemort, but due to something he wouldn't speak of; he changed allegiance, now working with the Headmaster. Trying to save the wizarding world. When he would have meetings with either of the other, he would tell them what the other said. Though with Voldemort he withheld information. After telling her the full story, he told her how greatful he was to have her working with him.

When hearing that, Hermione felt as if her heart stopped. She wasn't sure why he'd be greatful, even if he didn't hate her he treated her poorly for all these years. Having to admit to herself, that she was warming up to him. Knowing his story. She smiled at him.

"Thank you for clueing me in. So.... I am to be your wife due to this idea of Muggleborn's being enslaved by their husbands, because of Voldemort."

Severus nodded.

"That's outrageous!"

"I know, but it will not be a long marriage. I assure you. I will try and stop this. Even if it's just for you, Granger."

Hermione felt much better about the marriage law. Now that things have been cleared up. She thanked the Potions Master and went back into his room to get changed into her uniform. After fixing her brown, now curly hair and putting a small amount of makeup. She walked out, Snape no where to be seen. She smiled and walked to breakfast. Who knows what her friends may say.
