CHAPTER 7
A NOT SO ROMANTIC NIGHT OUT
They had gotten ready, Severus aperating them to a place where he thought no one would know them. Little did he know, he would run across with a few fellow death eaters.
As they had eaten, this woman Severus knew well, but Katrina knew nothing of, walked up to them both. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Severus Snape." She seemed a bit mental as she approached them. She had noticed Katrina. "And who might we have here?"
Katrina noticed that Severus did not much care for this woman, but he had to play his part, for if the dark lord ever returned, she would inform him of Severus' disloyalty. "Katrina, this is Bellatrix LaStrange. Bellatrix, this is Katrina."
Katrina held out her hand as Severus watched carefully. "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. LaStrange."
"Ahh, yes," This Bellatrix moved around as elegant as a muggle princess. She placed her hand in Katrina's. "You and Severus-the infamous Severus Snape are…involved?"
"Uhm, yes." Katrina answered looking over at Severus strangely.
Bellatrix turned toward Severus, "There will be a dinner soon, yes?" Her eyes had widened at the thought of a party. "I shall send Cissy and owl informing her of your-" She looked to Katrina eyeing her up and down. "-your new…conquest!"
Katrina's mouth fell open slightly, already disliking the woman before them. Though the minute their hands touched, she noticed a black cloud engulfing them. "If you wouldn't mind, Bellatrix, Katrina and I were just about ready to leave." They had both gotten up, leaving the woman standing at the table.
"I will see you both soon!" Bellatrix yelled after them, waving frantically.
Katrina said nothing to Severus for the longest time, as they walked down the streets. Severus had his hand in hers, leading her to a secluded spot on a sandy beach. "Katrina, you've been awfully quiet." He wrapped his arms around her from behind, watching the waves crashing in front of them. "What is troubling your mind?"
She let out an exasperated sigh, shaking her head. Severus did not push the subject, he knew she would open up to him when she felt the time was right. "This is beautiful."
He pulled her tighter to him, making her feel secure. "Nothing in this world is as beautiful in comparison as you are, sweetheart." Katrina pressed her head into his arms in a loving way, squeezing her arms around Severus' as they stood there watching the sun set.
"I would love to bottle this up, and take it home." Katrina whispered as she felt Severus placing soft kisses upon her neck. "Severus, I've been thinking…" He pulled away, letting her know she had his full attention. She turned to look up at him, as he smiled down at her. "I've been thinking about not going back to work at The Leaky Cauldron. I mean, with having to help the Headmaster, and going to these parties, I really feel like I'm going to need time to prepare myself."
Severus kissed her lips. "Do what you must, Katrina. I do not want you wearing yourself thin by all of this." Katrina just stared into his eyes. "Do not worry about the small things, such as money, you are- and always will be my most valuable piece of work."
Turning around in his arms, she looked confused. "So, I'm a piece of work in the making?" Severus' hands quickly, but gently touched the sides of her face. "I am, aren't I? A work in progress!" She tried to pull away, but he wrapped one arm around her waist, keeping her close to him. "Let go of me. I will be no ones conquest!"
Fighting against him, Katrina tried pulling away feverishly. Severus' hold on her had only gotten tighter the harder she fought against him. He had grabbed her upper arms, forcefully pulling her to him. As soon as his lips touched hers, she started calming down, forgiving each other. "You have never, nor will you ever be my conquest. Katrina…" He looked into her eyes, trying with all his might to show her how he truly felt. "…you have turned a mans black heart into one that beats for you, and you alone." He pushed her hair away from her face. "As much as I tried to fight it, you had me addicted to you. You are more beautiful then the setting sun-more precious then any herb in my cupboards. You, Katrina Anne Black, have made this grouchy git remember what love is, and how to love again."
When he said her full given name, she gasped. Her eyes becoming large. "How did you know?" She whispered in a shocked tone. "I have never…" She watched as his smirk turned into a grin. "You read my thoughts! You knew my name the minute…"
"I met you? Yes, dear. It has never been hard to read you." As he leaned down to kiss her, again he whispered, "You have been an open book to me since we met."
Slapping him was the only thing she could think of doing, until they heard someone close by. "Feisty little thing you have there, don't you, Snape?" A man walked closer to them with a woman by his side.
"Dolohov." Severus said in a business like tone. "What brings the two of you out this way on this fine evening?"
"We are celebrating our Anniversary." The woman-apparently his wife offered.
"And searching." This Dolohov said. "Is it true, the dark lord is in Budapest, roaming the country in search of a body?"
Katrina looked up at Severus, with no sign of horror on her face. "I have heard that as well." Severus answered. "But, I have also heard he has been spotted in Hungary as well."
"Yes, yes." Dolohov nodded, rubbing his chin. He looked to Katrina and smiled. "And whom might this lovely creature be?"
"My apologies. Katrina, this is Marcus and Margaret Dolohov." He placed his arm around Katrina, continuing. "Marcus, Margaret, this is Katrina."
Katrina held out her hand. "It is nice to meet you both."
Marcus took her hand in his, placing a chaste kiss on the back of her hand. "The pleasure is all mine." His smirk was pure evil. "We will all be meeting you next week at the Malfoy's."
Severus spoke up. "Is it Draco's birthday already?" Katrina looked up at him again. "The Malfoy's have a son who is turning five." He smiled down at her. "Thursday, next, then." He turned to face the other two. "Are you ready to return home, sweetheart?" Katrina nodded.
"I can't wait to get my hands on you again, Severus." Margaret flirted.
"Nor I you, Katrina." Dolohov said as he kissed her hand again. "Try not to exhaust her too much, Severus. Save some of this delicious treat for the rest of us." He laughed, though Katrina stood her ground. "Until we meet again."
Severus offered Katrina his arm, together they walked to a secluded area where they disaperated to Spinsters End. Before they could start walking, Severus touched Katrina's face. "You behaved brilliantly, my love. But, you should now, I will not give them the satisfaction of touching any part of you."
She smiled up at him. "I noticed the look in your eyes when you heard them. How you closed your mind." She pulled him down, their lips touching. "I watched how easy it was, but I also noticed darkness surrounding you."
"Is there now?" He watches as she barely shook her head. "I do not need to have my guard up when I am with you. I can be the man I used to be."
"I enjoy that man very much." She whispered as their lips briefly touched. "I do not much care for that stuffy Professor Snape during the school year."
Severus caught her off guard, sweeping her up off her feet, and carrying her to their home. Once inside, he placed her on her feet. "What if that Professor Snape wants to put you in a torturous detention next year?"
She pondered the thought for a moment. "It all depends on the torture I might be put through." She smiled as she unfastened his cloak. He looked at her questioningly. "Say if he puts me deep within the Castle, chaining me to a cold stone wall…naked." She furrowed her brows, acting as if she were angry. "I won't do it. I will form a resistance!" Her smile was flirtatious.
"Yes, a resistance of one." He smiled down at her. "Then again, if you are the resistance, it would be not one, but one hundred…with only you."
Then next few days went by quickly for Severus and Katrina. The days filled with cleaning, and the nights filled with…well, filled with more than sleeping.
As they had gotten ready, Katrina turning off the water, Severus in shaving, she opened the shower door to her surprise as he watched her from the shower door. "Severus!" He laughed, but kept shaving. "This isn't fare, you know!"
As he finished shaving, then wiping off the access from his face, he turned to where she stood-naked. "It seems fare enough from my view."
"I have never walked in on you while you were showering!" Severus grabbed a towel, held it out to her, but did not hand it to her. "Give me the towel, Severus."
He was only in his boxers as he looked her up and down. "Come get it." The smirk never left his face. She stood there, giving him a death glare. "Is that look a no?" She did not answer, still glaring at him. He walked closer to her, dropping the towel away from him. He placed his hands on her shoulders, slowly gliding them gently over each of her breasts, which made her skin tingle. Do not tell me you are not enjoying this."
"I never said I didn't." Her voice was soft, yet thick with want for him. "I had just thought that we were getting ready to go to a party."
"We do not have to be on time, do we?" His arms wrapped around her waist as he picked her up, wrapping her legs around him.
She wrapped her arms around him. "No, we do not." She whispered as he started walking out of the bathroom. "Where are you taking me?"
He kept walking, turning into their bedroom. "It would seem obvious wouldn't it?" He placed her on the bed. Slowly, almost deliberately, he crawled between her legs, kissing his way up her body, stopping around her well formed breasts. "I feel as if every time I touch you, it is our fist time together." He kissed her breasts, working his way slowly to her neck. When he reached her ear, he whispered. "It has been too long since I have felt you under me."
She knew how much he wanted her. She always wanted him. "I could never say no to you-Professor." As he looked at her, she grinned flirtatiously at him. She caressed his back, waiting patiently for him to make love to her.
As he watched her, he whispered, "You are in no position to argue your punishment, Miss Black."
"Then punish me, Professor. But, I must warn you…I might enjoy it so much, I will want more."
Before he did anything, he smiled. "I love you Katrina Anne Black. And your morbid idea of role playing."
His lips crushed into hers, penetrating her, knowing how badly they lusted, wanted and loved each other. His touch on her anywhere would send shivers all over her body. Severus had never been as gentle or intimate with any other woman he had ever been with. Until now. Katrina made him hunger for her continuously, with every little thing she did, whether it be bending over away from him, showing him her ass, or leaning forward as he sat, showing her cleavage. It led to nights filled with so much desire that made there time together that much more incredible. They would love one another until the day they died.
Walking through the gates of the Malfoy estate, Severus touched Katrina's cheek. "Before we enter, Katrina, I want you to know I will do everything in my power for them not to touch you." She smiled up at him as he smiled down at her. "I cannot believe how quickly you have learned to close your mind. I am truly blessed to have you in my life."
"And I love you as well, Severus." She whispered.
Upon entering the Malfoy's house, they walked around being introduced to everyone. Katrina kept as close as possible to Severus. She did not like anything she had seen about any of them. That was until a little boy came running down the stairs, screaming at Severus. Picking the boy up in his arms, Severus smiles. "This is my God son, Draco." He had noticed, when she placed her hand in Draco's hair, she had let her guard down. "Sweetheart?"
Lost in her own thoughts, he startled her as she came back from a place she did not know existed. She quickly looked away from the child, up to Severus. As she did though, she quickly closed her mind. Severus would not know where her mind had taken her. "He's beautiful. The blonde hair-blue eyes…" she smiled. She looked over at his parents, then back at the child in Severus arms.
"He is his father's son." Severus grinned. He placed the boy down as he ran as fast as his little legs could to his parents.
"He has his mother in him as well." Katrina whispered. "How late will we be staying?"
"We can leave after dinner. Is that alright with you?" She smiled and nodded.
Shortly after, everyone sat down, ready to eat. For the first time ever, Katrina saw the house elves walking out with trays and trays of food. She felt bad for them-the Malfoy's and the others treated them horribly. One walked beside Katrina, handing her a plate of food. She smiled down at him as he stood there in shock. No witch or wizard had ever treated him kindly as she did with just one smile.
"Dobby!" Lucius ordered. "On with your duties."
"Yes, sir." The house elf said frightfully and walked off.
Severus and Katrina touched each other periodically though out dinner, as they all chatted about the goings on in their lives. After they were done, Lucius turned to Katrina. "Since you are the new one here, whom would you like to take you first?"
Severus intervened. "Not tonight, Lucius. Nor for some time." He squeezed her hand gently under the table. "We have to make this an early evening, having appointments in the morning to prepare for our wedding."
Narcissa then spoke as if in shock, as both Severus and Katrina stood. "You mean to tell me, that you will not partake in the induction of her into the group?"
"Another time, Narcissa. As I had just mentioned- we have plans for early in the morning."
Lucius walked over to Katrina who had braced herself. "I think you will both be staying." He traced his finger tips over her face, down her skin to the low cut opening to her dress.
Katrina's gaze never left his eyes. "If I remember correctly, you had told Severus that this servant at The Leaky Cauldron was not worthy. Being beneath you both." As Lucius did not speak, she continued. "I do not want to be initiated into this group by any one of you, with the exception of Severus, whom, I might add will satisfy me more than any combination of any of you men." She turned to Severus.
He looked to Lucius, "Thank you for dinner. It was lovely." He looked at Katrina. "Are you ready for an evening of ecstasy, my love?" Her smile was answer enough. He wrapped his arms around her lovingly, and disaperated.
