Title: Open Your Eyes
Author: Sweetness (aaronlisa@gmail.com)
Rating: FR13
Pairing/Characters: Hermione Granger / Severus Snape interaction
Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling and company.
Prompts: 40_mixed - #T.27 (denial)
Notes: Set post-Half Blood Prince.
Summary: Hermione wants to deny what’s happening because she doesn’t want to accept that she was wrong.
Her eyes were tightly shut as she wished that things were very different than they were at that precise moment. She fervently prayed to any deity that would listen that when she opened her eyes again, she would see the familiar and safe confines of the Gryffindor common room. Yet she knew that she wouldn’t no matter how hard or desperately she prayed, but she couldn’t help the desire to deny what had happened and what was still happening.
Hermione took a deep and shuddering breath before she opened her yes and instead of the much-wished for comforting sight of Hogwarts, she saw the dark and mocking face of her former Potions Professor. His rich laughter rang hollow in her ears as she closed her eyes again, this time to prevent him from seeing the tears that were threatening to spill.
After all the years that she had trusted him, believed him and even defended him, he turned out to be Voldemort’s most loyal servant. The realization cut her like a sharp knife.
Of course he was Voldemort’s most loyal servant, and he wanted to bring down Harry Potter as much as his Master did. And the one way to start the process of breaking the much-hated Harry Potter was by slowly destroying his friends one by one.
“Trust me, Miss Granger, I can wait as long as you wish to play this game, but denying it won’t do you any good,” Snape purred, “When you open your eyes, you and I will still be here and we will both have to play the roles that fate and destiny have given us.”
Hermione opened her eyes again and she glared at her former professor defiantly. Her amber-coloured eyes flashed hatred and fear at him.
“We have no choice in the matter. If you must hate me, then use it as a weapon to help you survive,” Snape said as he gripped her chin, “Hate is what will get you out of this alive.”
As suddenly as he had grasped her chin, he turned around from her, his black robes swirling with the sudden movement. She knew that his words were the truth but she didn’t know if she could hate him or what he was about to do, even if Harry and her life depended on it. She knew that her life and even Harry’s depended on it, but she didn’t believe she could overcome so many years of trusting him, even now when he was about to play the role that he had been assigned. Even if that role meant that he was about to torture her and would do everything that he could to break her.
