Always Book 2 (Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter 13: Malfoy Manor, Again?

Hermione's POV:

"I don't see Rhiannon at the Slytherin table." I said looking up and down the Slytherin table. Ron and Harry, who were sitting opposite me, turned to look and they didn't see her either.

"Try the Hospital Wing." Luna Lovegood said as she passed by. My that girl was strange. I would like to know how the heck she knew what we were talking about.

"Hospital Wing?" Harry questioned, "But she only just left the Hospital Wing a few days ago."

"She was attacked in Hogsmeade." Seamus explained, from a little ways down.

"And how would you possibly know that." Harry snapped.

"I heard Dumbledore, Snape and Professor McGonnagall talking about it outside the Hospital Wing." Seamus answered with a shrug.

"When you say attacked, how so?" I asked, with a raise of my brow.

"You know that headmaster from Dumstrung?" Seamus asked.

"Igor Karakaroff?" Ron asked.

"Yeah that one, well he was here for a meeting with Dumbledore and he was on his way to see Snape, and Rhiannon was in the hall at the wrong time and wrong place." Seamus explained. Ron, Harry and I looked at each other for a moment and then made a dash for it to the Hospital Wing.

"Were do you three think you are running to?" Snape asked as we reached the Hospital Wing.

"To see our friend, Professor." Ron answered, pushing passed the Dungeon Bat.

"Rhiannon!" Ron shouted. Harry and I excused ourselves and entered the Hospital Wing. When we entered, I felt a wave of nausea wash over me as my eyes layed on Rhiannon. My hand went to my mouth to muffle a scream. She was covered in bruises. She had a black eye, bruises going up and down her arms and legs, her chin was bloody, she also had scraps all over her to.

"Doesnt look like just a random attack." Ron stated.

"It wasn't" I heard Snape say.

"You did this? I knew you were bad for her!" Harry shouted.

"Harry!" I shouted, as Rhiannon stirred.

"NO! You can't make me!" Rhiannon shouted in her sleep. She stirred a bit more and then sat up in bed, eyes wide open.

"How did I get here?" she asked.

"I brought you here." Snape answered coming a little closer so she could see him.

"What happened to you?" I asked her as I lightly touched her hand. She flinched and pulled her hand away.

"I was walking down the hallway to go to Hogsmeade, I was stopped in the hallway by that bastard, Igor." Rhiannon hissed, and angry look settling on her face.

"Language." Snape warned.

"Sorry." Rhiannon said, her face softening as she looked at him, "He said, we never got to finish what we started at the Yule ball."

"What happened at the Yule ball?" Harry asked, "This is the first time I am hearing about this."

"I was sitting by myself and Igor came up to me, he grabbed my arm, lead me to a carriage and then left me in there when Sevy came around." Rhiannon replied.

"Sevy?" Ron questioned, with a grossed out look on his face. I hit him on the arm and urged Rhiannon to continue.

"Well anyways...Like I said Igor cornered me, dragged me to a empty classroom, which just so happened to be Severus's room." Rhiannon continued, "He pulled my dress up and put his hand down my underwear, then he pulled my dress down from the top and touch my you know." Rhiannon's cheeks started to turn red with embarrassment. "I said no, but he continued, then he said, 'And no Severus here to save you this time'. When he was unzipping his pants I took it upon myself to kick him in the stomach and make a run for it. I don't know what happened to Draco."

"Malfoy?" Harry questioned.

"He saw Igor corner me and went to find help, but when Igor shoved me into Severus's classroom he hide in Severus's office, I am assuming after he went to tell someone I dont know." Rhiannon answered.

"He told Dumbledore, because when I brought you here he was already in here." Snape stated.

"So is that how you got the bruises?" I asked. Rhiannon shook her head no.

"When I ran, I went to Hogsmeade, ran into the Hog's head Inn, told Sevy then Igor and other Death Eaters showed up. Severus put himself between me and Igor, then when he wasn't looking a Death Eater took me." she answered, "To Malfoy Manor. I got all of these from that Lestrange woman. You know the crazy one with the obnoxious laugh." Harry, Ron and I snickered.

~Later(Rhiannon's POV)~

Harry, Hermione, and Ron had left to go to classes, and so did Severus. The only company I had was Madam Pomfrey, which was seldom. I was sitting up in bed reading a muggle book called, The Hobbit. Which had to be one of my top favorites.

"Hello my dear." I heard a snarl. I looked up and saw my Uncle Regulus. I gave him a small smile and turned back to my book. I felt him sit down.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"I am sorry." he said, "About your bruises. You know I would have changed what happened to you if I could."

"Yeah right." I rolled my eyes.

"I have to take you back." he sighed.

"To Malfoy Manor, again?" I questioned. He nodded. "No."

"He wants to see you." Regulus sighed.

"On one condition." I snapped, "You never leave me on any condition."

"I can't make any promises, but I will try." Regulus nodded with a small smile. I put my arm out and waited for him to apparate. It took him a few minutes but finally we apparated outside the Manor. Welcome back to Malfoy Manor, again.

A/N: Okay so this isn't as long as the others. This is just a filler chapter. The next one will be better. I promise. So why do you think Voldemort sent her Uncle Regulus, this time? For her to go willing? Because she some what trusts him? What are your guys thoughts? What would you like to see in the next chapter? BTW if this chapter triggered anything for you I am sorry. As a writer I dont want to trigger anything for you.
