Right well I'm back this will be my first fic since October so if I'm a little rusty bear with me. It will be 6th year and I plan to add OoTP canon as soon as it becomes available until then imagination will have to do.
I do not own harry potter J.K Rowling has that honor and it's one I don't intend to steal. I'll just play with the world a little.
Oh if I've inadvertently copied someone else's work I'm sorry tell me where and I'll fix it and acknowledge your fic.
This fic is based on Unseen Watcher's fic dragons and I have her permission to use it for which I bow before her greatness. It would be advisable to read it before this but it's not completely necessary. The link is storyid=850188
Lastly I live in Australia as I've pointed out in my other fics and at the wiktt boards currently there is a bit of a problem with one of the teachers in NSW having a student teacher relationship so this fic 'will' be 'friendship only' between sev and mione until she's out of hogwarts. That may not be to everyone's tastes but I'm playing this one within the rules people.
And now the main feature:
Chapter 1: Voldemort's favour.
Severus was annoyed he was also aggravated, irritated and down right pissed off. Though he was also starting to worry. Lord Voldemort had summoned him more than 5 hours ago and he still had no idea why. Having tea and bickies with the dark lord was fine and good but having to keep your emotions in check and carry on chitchat with a man likely to crucio you at any moment was not something he had planned for today.
"Severus severus stop fidgeting I know you're wondering what I got you here for. I'm just doing a favour for you, getting rid of a certain student who constantly annoys you" Voldemort purred severus wondered how he pulled it off considering he was half snake.
"My lord you are to kind have you finally gotten potter" snape responded
"Not yet" the smile evaporating from voldemort's face "but I've got a trace on another who constantly shows our kind up that damned Granger. With her gone half your worries will be gone and potter's morale crushed. The team I sent to do it will be back shortly." Voldemont grinned but it was not a pleasant grin only a snake would have detected any warmth in it.
Severus responded with joy "My lord that is wonderful", but his mind was elsewhere. /Granger targeted, sure the girl was a know it all nuisance but at least she payed attention and tried. Potter or Weasley I wouldn't have missed much Albus and the rest of the school would, but I wouldn't they were just damn trouble makers, but Granger damn I guess being a muggle born and one of potter's friends was too much for voldemort to ignore. This will break Albus's heart/ "how did you do it"
"easily the girl had know idea of how to protect herself I just had Pettigrew follow her for a few days to establish her routine and then, well she'd be dead by now though the team should have been back by now unless they decided to have a little fun with her" Voldemort sneered though to Severus it seemed he was irritated by the fact that they were late.
"When were they supposed to be back my lord" Severus enquired keeping his face expressionless.
"10 minutes ago and I told them not to be late." Voldemort didn't bother to hide his feelings and severus knew that when they got back he wasn't standing in an open place, he was no psychic but when Voldemort was looking this pissed someone was going to get crucio'ed and it wasn't going to be him.
Then again he thought /if they're taking this long maybe granger's not dead yet/ he shoved that thought aside he couldn't start hoping for a miracle while trying to walk the deatheater tightrope and especially not with voldemort right in front of him miracles could wait, right now he had to keep up the act. Severus was just about to speak up when two deatheaters apparated into Voldemort's chambers and from their appearance they had run into something a lot more powerful than just granger.
"Where are the others" Voldemorts voice was harsh demanding and severus was glad it wasn't directed at him.
"Dead" answered the deatheater with the least injuries his left arm hung uselessly by his side nearly severed the other had a horrible slash across his chest and was struggling to stay alive.
"What happened I sent ten of you how come only two returned." Voldemort's anger had abated a little. Being late for playing around was one thing getting caught in a fight was something else.
"I'm not totally sure lord we apparated to where you told the mudblood would be and managed to surprise her though she fought back well she took two of us down before we managed to disarm her we were just about to kill her when something killed Smith, we never saw it we spun round to attack whatever it was and in that instant Johns and Matthews went down I spun around quickly in their direction and something wizzed past me and hit my arm if I hadn't of spun I'd be dead too Michels here stepped back when he heard my cry of pain and gut that slash if he hadn't of moved he would have been in two. I didn't see what happened to the other five but I know Roberts dropped her wand when he died I was going to summon it but Dumbledore apparated on the scene and I decided it was time we got out of there."
"Why did you come back Travers why didn't you stay and fight to the end?"
"The situation was hopeless my lord we couldn't have completed our mission and or staying there would only have meant our deaths we can't serve you when we are dead my lord."
"You make a good point Travers and for that I'll spare from crucitus today. You said that Dumbledore apparated there?"
"Yes my lord he did we didn't exactly stay around long to find out what he did next my lord but he definitely turned up."
"hmmm interesting, Severus my follower why don't you head back to Hogwarts and see if you can find out what going on. Oh and sorry about not being able to get rid of your annoyance for you."
"yes my lord I will don't worry about the girl my lord another opportunity will arise."
And with that severus apparated.
So what do you think I'll try to make future chapters longer but wont make any promises.
