I feel very stupid right now... it's 5am here (I've spent the night awake to study) and I needed a break so I picked up my fic notes to try to think something when I realized I posted this chapter on the wrong fanfic... So I really want to apologize to those who read this on "It's Complicated"... I guess I am just not-myself these days... U_U'

A/N: Hi everybody^^ I know that it's been a long time, that you may not even remember what the plot of the fic was about, and that this is a very short update... but I finally saw the light for this fic and I needed a break between exams... I didn't have much time and this was the result... so I just hope you like it ;-)

So... where were we?

The Dark Lord had decided he wanted a heir, and to achieve that he needed the most powerful witch in the world... who, as we all know, is Minerva. So he asks Severus to take the transfiguration professor to him, and Severus consults Dumbledore sure that he will have some idea to solve the problem... and he does, but his idea is not very ethical... The plan is to drug Minerva, take her to Voldemort, and give her a miscarrying potion after that... this way, Lord Voldemort won't suspect about Severus, but won't have an invincible heir either.

But Albus, who was in charge to give Minerva the miscarrying potion, makes an error on that... long story short: Minerva finds out she's pregnant, learns the truth, decides to have the baby and leaves the school.

Two months later Severus goes to take Minerva back to the school because Lord Voldemort is looking for her and the not-born-yet baby. June comes, Albus dies, the school is invaded by Death Eaters, Severus helps Minerva escape, they kiss and say goodbye to each other...

SIX MONTHS LATER...

Betrayed - 10

.

It was a usual night in the Malfoy manor... all the Death Eaters were sitting around the large table headed by their Lord, listening carefully to his new orders... well, not all of them... there were some empty chairs and Lord Voldemort didn't seem happy about that. Severus also wondered where Lucius, Bellatrix and Goyle were.
All of a sudden the doors were opened and Bella came in outlandishly.
"We got you a Christmas present, my Lord!" she exclaimed, and then Malfoy and Goyle came in carrying a body that they left on the ground. At first sight, whoever it was seemed dead, but then it moved and Bellatrix grabbed its hair to raise its face so the Dark Lord could have a good look on... Minerva?
"You found her!" Voldemort exclaimed and then turned to look at Severus, who had stood up too and was now controlling himself not to curse everyone in the room, "You see, Severus... she hadn't disappeared... you weren't just looking for her in the right places..."
"She was trying to get into the school, my Lord..." Lucius explained while Voldemort approached them to have a closer look, "...we surprised them in the forest." But the Dark Lord didn't seem to pay any attention to his Death Eaters adventure... he was trying to feel Minerva's belly, but her stomach was plain.
"Where's the baby?" he asked to the men and woman standing behind their new prisoneer.
"Which baby, my Lord?" Bellatrix was the only one who dared talking.
"My baby! The one she was carrying!"
"She was on her own, my Lord..." Goyle muttered.
"She must have miscarried, my Lord..." Severus observed, making a big effort to hide his concern about Minerva's health and the whereabouts of the baby.
"No... I can feel it... she was pregnant... she had my heir," Voldemort said "She must have hidden him."
"If you'd let me, my lord..." Severus dared to interrupt, "I could heal her so you could ask her any questions..."
"Alright, Severus... we don't want her passing out while we torture her..." the Dark Lord said, "You and Lucius will be in charge of the prisoner, the rest... Go and find my heir! She can't have left him too far..."
