Severus
~ Pain, Endless Pain Sears Thru me every inch of me bloody and bruised I must get to my Potion stores my breathing is labored if I don't get to my stores I wont last long dragging myself slowly to the
dungeons' there's the door my vision starts to blur my breath comes in short gasp my legs give out beneath me the darkness starts to grow as I lay there on the cold stone floor I begin to think of all the things I have left unfinished *Flashback* My Lord the plan has failed Dumbledore has gotten away and he's taken Harry Potter with him" The Dark Lord hissed in displeasure " How isss it you alwaysss seem to fail me Severus" " My Lord I can understand your displeasure, but Dumbledore seems to have guessed our plans for the boy" " Very well Severus however because you have failed to capture and return with the boy and old coot you'll
have to entertain us this evening" Dread coursed thru me I knew what entertains the Dark Lord had planned for Potter and Albus The Dark Lord had announced 1 year prier that he was to be bound to lestrange and had ordered
me to bring the boy and old wizard to his "bachelor party" this evening. The male Death eaters of the dark lords inner circle were invited and contained Lucious Malfoy, Fernier Greayback, Theodore Not, Crabbe and Golyle Sr., and Myself the dark lord told us everything and gave us the most important missions after the dark lord had told me his plans for that evening I had immediately warned albus and harry albus decided to send potter back to his aunt and uncle's home due to the blood wards even though harry protested I agreed with albus he said after he dropped of the boy he would come to my aid at the manor….. However albus never showed and I served the dark lords
purpose of entertainment * End Flashback* now here I lay in a pool of my own blood on a stone floor listing my regrets I regret not listening to harry and letting him be sent back to that accursed home I regret not being there for Draco when his parents pressured him into joining the death eaters and more than anything I regret letting that fraud of a wizard Dumbledore lead me on for so many years and control my life "ah he knew he's always know he knew that the dark lord wouldn't hold back he knew I would end up here at this very moment and die here he knew and if he knew that then he knew about harry oh no harry he told me all those things his so called family did to him over the years and showed me the scars
Dumbledore must have known that harry was suffering and yet he did nothing he sent him back this evening knowing that and didn't intervene that basterd he's been setting us up from the start!" the darkness starts so close in my eyes begin to feel heavy breathing is now a chore " no it can't end like this he can't be allowed to win" my strength is failing me and the pain is still unbearable just as all
seems lost my magic calls out in one last desperate plea to whatever may be near enough to hear it " hmmmm well this is most certainly a surprise now serverus what have you gone and gotten yourself into hmmm" blinking away the spots in my vision with some difficultly I croke out " w w w ho are you?" " Me why we have many names Severus however you may know us as the shinigami we are deaths agents so to speak" " … s s so you've come to take me?" " No" " t t then why are you here" " because your magic called me see we shinigami only come when a wizards magic calls us and yours called me "
" I I If your not going to take me then who is?" " That's deaths job.. We shinigami usually prepare the souls for departure and death takes them you know we take care of all the paper work and make sure that the soul goes to the right place" " oh" " however when a wizard or witch is due to pass then the process becomes a little bit more complicated you see some wizards posses skills that allow them to
remain behind as a ghost and only those with magical qualities may do so wizard also are given the option of being reborn if they have been bound to someone still living" " ah so will I become a ghost" " No you Severus have another option we shinigami have the power to send a wizard or wicth back as good as new at the cost of half their life and some of their powers now serveus you've called me long before your appointed time and because your early death will greatly affect many you have this option you don't have to choose it you may choose to return as a ghost or pass on the choice is yours and yours alone" " I choose to live I have much to do and I will not rest until the one that forced this on me has paid for what he's done" " Very well now serverus I have one more favor to ask of you when you are
revived will you accept having me bound to you" " and what would that entitle" " simply put will you accept me as your familiar I will only obey you and I believe it would help you in your quest for redemption and vengeance" " very well I accept " " then let us begin ~ lo Branos lo lo tuos lo lo mah se no ca won vea tas lo lo bagahi iaca bachabe I daughter of death ask you great winged god to accept my blood as payment for this soul and do you Severus Tobias Snape agree to give up Half your remaining life as payment to the great winged god of Death " yes I Severus Tobias Snape agree to give half my remaining life to Death in
exchange I ask that death give me life and a Familiar" ~ The stone beneath me shook and a tempest blew thru the halls My Child you have called me' the voice came from the darkness " yes father this man wishes to return with his soul and me as his familiar" ' Hmmm you ask much Severus why should I allow you to return with my daughter it is well known that wizards do not always treat their familiars with proper respect' " Great Death I beseech you if you allow me to return with my soul and your daughter she shall be treated with the utmost respect and receive all the proper care" ' Very well Severus Snape you have convinced me and you shall receive my child as a familiar I accept half your remaining life and your word you may return … and Severus lets not meet like this again anytime soon'
a flash of darkness and he was gone then searing pain shot thru my left arm " Argh what is happening!" " Your receiving Deaths mark now Severus before you lose cosinus I should tell a bit about that mark deaths mark is also know as the left hand of death if you touch anyone with that hand they shall die immediately that hand also is what connects you to me if you ever are in trouble I shall sense it thru the hand this mark also means that you are in deaths favor which means you can summon the dead and control them it also gives you many of deaths powers it also strengths your remaining magic so spells that you could do before will be furthered powered up well that's everything oh an when you come to the first thing you should do is wrap your left arm with this ' she hands him a dark cloth' it's dark material with this you can both hide the mark and protect others from meeting there maker
accidentally I'll see you soon Severus …. Oh and one more thing when I cross over.. The rest of her sentence fell upon deft ears because I had already began crossing over * snap* I'm back merlin I feel as though I fought all the death eaters and a pack of werewolves and then got beaten across the head with a steel cauldron " ugh ah" I looked at my left hand it had a skull surrounded by ebony wings with the ancient runes that spelled death they looked like a black phoenix taking flight " hmm I can see why I need to hide this" so I began wrapping the mark when I had finished with that I slowly began to rise to my feet " ugh whoa" stumbling a little I slowly
made my way to my personal quarters when I reached the door it flew open and I was greeted with an arm full of a certain messy haired Teen " How in the Bloody Hell did you get in here Harry" " I had my familiar bring me" 'he's talking about me hello I'm Ryu Hoitro I'm His familiar' Snape turned to find the speaker he was Harrys height and muscular he had deep ebony locks with the bangs covering one eye while the other a bright violet stared at him
behind a pair of rectangular glasses his skin was perfectly tanned he wore a three quarters length button down white shirt with the first three buttons undone he had on black dress slacks and black dress shoes all in all he look professional and held himself with an know it all kind of air " wait how did you get pass the wards" ' elementary dear snape I could deactivate them in my sleep and to answer your question before you ask Master Potter also had a check in with Death this evening that is how I Became his familiar he to bares Deaths mark and he to has it covered with dark material ~ a light began to glow next to Ryu~ ' ah finally my Brother is arriving now' "Your brother don't you mean sister?" ' Ah it would seem you didn't receive the whole other world message you see we shinigami when we become a familiar for witch's or wizards we change our sex so that we may better understand our
master therefor your familiar can better serve you. Although I haven't the faintest clue why you would agree to let him become your familiar… all I can say Mr. snape GOOD LUCK because you'll need it' a figure finally stepped from the glowing orb and my jaw all but hit the floor and if the sharp intake of breath was anything to go by so did Harry's what now stood before me could not be described as anything less than a god his hair shone like woven gold that hung past his ears in shaggy waves his eyes were the deepest shade of blue his skin golden perfection he wore an outfit similar to his brothers however he wore his shirt open that showed the perfectly chisel chest beneath and his slacks hung low on his hips teasing everyone with the tuff of golden hair that peaked just above the band of his boxers he also wore dress shoes however he had both of his ears pierced each held a little golden hoop
he also wore a choker and when serveus notice what it had engraved on the charm he blushed beet red the charm read ~ Kai Hoitro Property of Severus Snape if lost return to master immediately~ 'Hello Master' Kai's voice was a deep tenor and it caused Severus to shiver " you will address me as professor or Severus in public but when we are amongst ourselves you may call me what ever you please" Fine only if you call me little one when were amongst
ourselves' Severus smirked " Certainly little one" he practically purred Kai's nickname Harry stood there 5 seconds more blinking like a goldfish and then glanced at Ryu who just looked back at him and shrugged mouthing the words ~ he's always like this ~ then harry lost it he jus started laughing so hard he began crying ryu soon joined in and Severus and Kai just stood there glaring at them both "Potter if you don't quit that annoying laughter this instant I will personally throw you out of my quarters" Harry stopped immediately "aww come on Sev its not every day you get to see the most revered and feared of all Hogwarts professors flirt right in front of your face" " be as
it may that still does not excuse you" " fine hello Kai you probably know me but I am Harry Potter" Kai's eyes widened he glanced at his brother Ryu nodded ' I have heard much about the potter's I just never thought I would ever get to meet one' Kai kneeled and placed his left hand over his face ' Harry Potter I Kai Hoitro am pleased to meet you' Kai then rose he glanced at Severus ' Master is my form pleasing to you or do wish me to change?' " Little one you may keep your form" Kai looked very pleased a wave a weariness washed over Snape " Harry because you're here I very much doubt the headmaster knows and I would bet those muggles have yet to notice so how about you
stay the night and in the morning we figure out how to get you back unnoticed and hide your familiar hmm" " well… Ryu and I kind of screwed up you see I didn't fully cross over when I called out so when Death showed it alerted my family and right after the rite completed Ryu hadn't finished his cross over yet to I panicked cuz they were trying to get into my room and when my Uncle threw open the door I threw the first spell I could think of forgetting Ryu' s warning that my magic would be drastically stronger and I stuplifyed them umm…well" harry glanced at Ryu pleading with his eyes for help ' harry stunned those pathetic excuses for humans clear into next week meaning
when Harry's spell hit that giant pig it expanded and hit the others as well and not a single one of them are going anywhere for oh I'd say about 2months well not without the help of a serious conterhex ' " well that certainly simplifies things quite a bit for us doesn't it" ' so now what are you going to do master' " Ryu can you hide Harry's magical pressure for now" ' in my sleep and yes I can cloke myself we both can' " good harry stay here for the time being Dumbledore should be gone for a few days and during that time we will work on learning to control our magic and hopefully come up with a way to conterhex your relatives" " they are NOT my relatives they don't have any blood relation to me Sev those wards that the quack was going on and on about don't even exist and they never did he was lying Sev he was lying to me and so many of the others to but that's not the worst Voldemort and Tom Riddle jr aren't the same person the Real Tom Riddle jr didn't kill my parents HE did Sev the one who killed your best friends is the one that the light has been blindly following for so many years the person that the light trust is really their worst enemy" " Harry you can't mean!" " Yes Sev Dumbledore is really …
