3. The Interview: Hermione.
During my time in this business, I have seen some bizarre behaviour and received some very odd requests. I thought I had seen it all and that I was, to all intents and purposes, shockproof. That was until the day I received the letter from Severus Snape requesting an interview with me.
Don’t get me wrong, I was not surprised that Snape was the kind of man who wanted to be dominated and humiliated; I have had many men use my services over the years who have very high profile, demanding jobs in real life – men who you would think would be very dominant in the bedroom. In fact, to me, it made a strange sort of sense. Snape had been easily influenced by the likes of Lucius Malfoy – and Voldemort, of course, in his youth, which could easily be taken as an early indication of his submissive tendencies. No, what shocked me was the forthrightness of his request. There was no fawning or begging for me to take pity on his unnatural urges. He did not use an alias, which many people do – at least in the initial stages; he signed his own name and said in no uncertain terms that he was looking for a ‘strict mistress.’ He also said he appreciated that I was expensive, that money was not a problem and that he was approaching me because I had been highly recommended.
These days, I rarely take on new submissives, especially novices, mainly because there is no need for me to do so. I have my half-dozen or so regulars, which provides me with a steady income and leaves me the time to spend doing the things I really want to do. An arrangement which suits me just fine.
But, I have to say I was intrigued. For one thing, this was a former teacher who had once been the bane of my life and who had terrorised generations of schoolchildren, some of whom had been my friends. It seemed like a case of what goes around comes around; poetic justice, even. But, mainly, I was just plain curious to see this reclusive man once again; this extraordinarily brave man who had risked his own life on too many occasions to count during the war with Voldemort. He had saved my life, too, saved me from the clutches of Lucius Malfoy in fact, and I knew I owed him big time. The least I could do would be to grant him an interview.
