Black Widow-Chapter 4~ Last Chances

"Will yer be OK by yerself for a while?" asked Hagrid "It's just that I promised Professor Flitwick I'd give him a hand tidyin' his office"

"I'll be fine Hagrid, I've got some paperwork I need to attend to anyway" replied Messura, taking another sip from her cup.

"Righ' then, I'll be off. I should be back in about an hour" said Hagrid as he left.

Messura leaned back in her armchair, savouring the warmth that was radiating from the fireplace. She put her cup down on a table next to her and shut her eyes. Suddenly, from under her eyelids she saw a bright flash of blue light. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped in shock.

There, in the fireplace was none other than Voldemort himself. Not the whole of Voldemort, but the outlines and details of his face made up by the flames which were now a vivid, deep blue.

"My Lord" Messura began "What is it you wish of me?"

"You stupid fool" Voldemort hissed in anger. "In less than an hour you have put this whole task in severe jeopardy. By making friends with that giant you have made yourself seem trustworthy. Because of this it will become harder for you to complete your mission. You obviously do not realise the importance of this. Perhaps I should send someone else, someone with more competence and loyalty to me."

"My Lord I am most grieved to have displeased you, but please, I can do this. I beseech you, give me one more chance." Messura begged

"Lord Voldemort does not give chances, Messura. I shall however let you carry on with this mission. Do not fail me again and remember if you do, I shall take certain 'steps' "

"My Lord" Messura bowed

The flames hissed and crackled and suddenly, they returned to their original golden state.

Messura breathed deeply. She turned around to sit down for her knees felt very weak when she suddenly clapped a hand to her mouth in horror.

"Well, well, well!" said an icy voice.

"Se-Severus?" Messura trembled

A/N~ The chapters will get longer I promise!
