Secrets of the Past

Chapter One

…..

Severus Snape was busy bustling about his home, or what was an excuse from a home. It was located in the middle of nowhere, practically sticking out from a muddy hillside, surrounded by shaggy vegetation. It was the middle of June and it was very warm, the air was sticky and tasted sweet, yet that didn't stop Severus from making preparations, he was an enemy to Hogwarts and now he was the care-provider to a certain white-haired brat.

"You're excuse for living space is quite boring," Draco drawled as he sat back on one of the couches, a cheap goblet filled with wine in his hand.

Severus sighed inwardly, for the passed few months, Draco had been getting on his nerves, and if it wasn't for the unbreakable bond he shared with Draco's mother, he'd have smothered the little bastard in his sleep by now. Years ago Severus would have been proud to be considered Draco's caregiver, he was his favorite student after all, but these days, it's just gotten to Draco's head that since he was under protection he could do whatever the hell he wanted.

"Not everyone can live in luxury like you Draco," Severus said and continued hassling in his belongings, it was a vicious time for the Dark Lord, Harry Potter was on the move and the Prophecy would no doubt soon be coming to a close.

Severus was working near his window which was open only a crack, that way he could hear the wildlife outside and listen if anyone decided to give a surprise visit. This night, however, was slightly eerie; the wildlife outside stopped, but Severus could not sense any kind of danger. Ignoring Draco, with his snotty comments, Severus went upstairs to his room, where he kept most of his important belongings. The Dark Lord had ordered that everyone that was working on his side to be ordered to Malfoy Manor, where no doubt, Narcissa was awaiting her son's return. Severus was ordered to gather any kind of information he had on Harry Potter and his friends, and with being their teacher, Severus knew he had something worth showing to his Dark Lord; he busily searched, listening to Draco drivel to himself downstairs. Dear Merlin, that boy was a complete nuisance. The floorboards creaked behind Severus, he turned and found himself with two long black spears idled at either side of his neck; he was staring into the face he thought he would not see again, from the world in which he escaped from.

"My, my, Wrath, you sure have grown old, so, tell me, how did you become human?"

That voice was the same velvet tone, so many years and the woman in front of him was still the same. Severus swallowed hard, of course the woman in front of him was never human, and she could never grow old.

"Hello Lust," Severus greeted coldly, "what do I owe the honor of having myself found by the likes of you?"

Lust only smiled, her deep violet eyes showing no real emotion.
