Thank you to all of my reviewers, I am glad you are enjoying the story thus far.

This chapter isn't as long as I would have liked it, but I think it came out well just the same.

Enjoy…

Chapter Ten

Changing Sides

Severus had requested a house elf to watch over the twins while he left on a 'family emergency'. He also told the elf that if he and Ellie did not return before morning to tell the headmaster 'the meeting went poorly'. Severus knew Dumbledore would understand the codded message.

"Severus. I'm scared." Ellie held tightly onto her husband's arm as they approached the Dark Lords safe house.

"It's okay. I'll protect you. I promise."

Ellie didn't understand why he had asked her to come. He never had before. She hated being in the same room as the monster, just the thought of seeing his cold, emotionless eyes made her shutter. Entering the main room the young couple slowly made their way inside. Voldemort was sitting on a thrown like chair in the center of the room. It was made of a dark wood, snakes and skulls were carved along the arm and back rest.

Voldemort drummed his long pale fingers along the arm of his chair, an evil glint in his eye, as his thin lips turned into a smirk.

"I must say Severus I am extremely disappointed."

"My Lord?" Severus' brow furrowed in confusion.

"You and your wife took positions at Hogwarts did you not?"

"Yes, we did."

"And did so without consulting me."

"I apologize, my Lord. I did not think-

"You did not think I would care that you and your wife are now in the employment of my greatest enemy."

Severus swallowed hard, as Ellie pulled herself closer to her husband. The anxiousness swimming in both their eyes suddenly turned to fear as The Dark Lord rose from his chair, slowly slithering his way over to them.

"I-I am sorry my Lord. I did not think it would…upset you. We simply wanted a better life for our children. I-

"I really have no intention of listening to your excuses." Suddenly Voldemort's gaze moved from Severus to Ellie. A malicious grin tuned on his lip as his red tinted eyes roamed her body.

"You certainly have recovered well from your pregnancy Ellie. You do not look as if you had one child let alone two."

Seeing the lustful look in his masters eyes Severus attempted to divert the attention back to himself. "My Lord. If you desire to punish me then-

"Oh I have every intention of doing that but not in the way you think I am sure."

Before Severus even had time to react he had been pulled from his wife, thrown across the room, and bound with thick ropes. The Dark Lord was well trained in wandless magic.

"Wh-what are you-you going t-to do to me?" Ellie stuttered as she slowly attempted to back away from him.

"Something I have wanted to do since the moment I laid eyes on you."

Petunia panted heavily as she attempted to catch her breath, her lover lay besides her attempting to do the same.

"Oh Sirius. That was bloody fantastic."

Sirius smiled before rolling on his side and taking the woman he loved into his arms. "Yes, it was." He kissed her temple gently, moving a stray strand of her hair from her eyes.

"Lord it had been so long and you were just…amazing."

Sirius couldn't help but laugh. Yes it was a very good shag. It had been the first time he had been with a woman since Marlene's death. Not that he was incapable of getting into girl knickers, in fact in school he was quite famous for it; he simply couldn't bring himself to do it. Not even a one night stand. It would have been as if he was betraying his late fiancée. But with Petunia it was different, very different. He loved her; no he was in love with her. His feelings were as strong as they were with Marlene, if not stronger. With Petunia it felt more than right, it felt perfect.

Petunia snuggled deeper into his arms, comfortably resting her head on his chest. "I love you, Sirius."

"I love you too flower." He kissed the top of her head once again.

With a final thrust Voldemort released his seed into the very attractive wife of his potions master. Without a word he pulled himself from the trembling woman. The evil wizard gathered his clothes as Ellie scrambled to find her own.

Severus had pleaded, begged his master to stop, to take out his wrath on him instead. He only laughed. The sick bastard actually laughed. Ellie too had pleaded for him to stop, to punish her different way. This only heightened the pleasure he received from the act.

Severus was released from his binding and quickly rushed to his wife. "It's okay. It'll be okay." Severus attempted to calm his wife, rocking her softly in his arms.

Severus Snape could never remember loathing anyone as much as he did the Dark Lord at that moment. Not even his abusive father or the bullying Marauders. He had sullied his wife, took her by force. His sweet, wonderful, loving Ellie. She had done nothing. Nothing! He could have killed him at that very moment. He could have pulled out his wand, and said the unforgivable and not cared for the consequences, but no, not now. He needed to take care of his wife before he even thought of retribution.

Ellie sobbed into her husband's chest, she really didn't know what else to do but to cry. Severus quickly helped his wife dress before cradling her in his arms and rising from the floor. Heading for the door Voldemort's voice called out to him.

"Let this teach you a valuable lesson potions master. You keep nothing from me. Nothing!"

"Yes…master." He said the words through gritted teeth. Severus' eyes turned down to his wife who gave a soft whimper, her head buried in the crook of his arm.

Not even bothering to finish leaving the room, he apparated he and his wife to Hogsmead.

Sirius smiled down at Danny as he watched him sleep in his crib. It was nearly eight in the morning and as Petunia had gone down stairs to make breakfast, he offered to wake up the baby. Sirius knew that Danny was most likely a muggle, and he was fine with that, but deep down, part of him hoped that he, like his aunt Lily, was a muggleborn. It was possible, though minute. Either way the pureblood wizard loved that little boy, and if things turn out the way he hoped, one day soon, he would officially become his father.

Petunia whistled as she scrambled the eggs in that pan over the stove. She had always loved to cook, it was something her mother tried to instill in both her girls, though Petunia enjoyed it much more then Lily. Just as she placed two pieces of bread in the toaster Sirius headed into the kitchen, baby Danny on his hip.

"Good morning, love." Sirius gave his girlfriend a quick peck on the cheek before placing the baby in his high chair.

"Morning. I meant to ask you last night, but I was called into work for an extra shift today, do you think you could watch Danny for me. It's really last minute to get anyone else."

"Sure. I was actually going to head over to James and Lily's, so I'll just take Daniel along, and he can play with Harry."

"Perfect." Petunia scooped the eggs onto three separate plates, then adding toast and a slice of cantaloupe to hers and Sirius'.

"Here you are." She said placing a full plate of food in front of Sirius, and then a small one in front of Danny before sitting down with her own.

"You know." Sirius laughed after swallowing a bite of eggs. "My own mother never cooked for me. She always had the house elf do it."

"Sorry dear, no house elf's here."

"That's alright. I didn't care much for ours anyway. He didn't like me much. Always burnt my eggs on purpose."

Petunia laughed as she sprinkled some pepper on her own eggs. "Well you won't have to worry about that here."

Severus sat quietly next to his wife's hospital bed. He held her hand softly in his as she slept. He felt so angry and so guilty for not being able to stop him. Her tearful please still echoes in his mind. They haunted him. He had rushed her to the hospital wing, and Poppy immediately checked her over. He had been honest with her about what had happened he didn't have any choice but to. She knew of his alliance with Voldemort, Dumbledore had already informed her having a feeling she may be healing injuries inflicted by the crazed man at some point in the future, but on Severus, not Ellie.

She had several bruises on her thighs, and her wrists, where he held her down, but other thAn that damage was all psychological. She hadn't said more than two words since he brought her to Poppy. The medi-witch also reassured them that the unborn baby she was carrying was perfectly fine and not affected at all by the incident. This was good news, but little consolation to Severus. He had promised to protect her, to keep her safe. He had failed her.

"Severus." His eyes turned to the headmaster who now stood beside him. "How is she?"

"Not well. She…she won't talk to me."

Dumbledore chose his words carefully before speaking. "She has gone through a severe trauma. I am sure she's simply in shock."

Severus did not respond but closed his eyes before taking a long deep breath. "I'm going to kill him." He said it quietly and very plainly and he meant every word of it.

"If only it were that easy."

"I want to join the Order of the Phoenix."

Dumbledore smiled softly elated to hear those words from his newest professor, he just wished it was under different circumstances.

"We would be honored to have you."

A/N: Voldemort made a HUGE mistake and will soon suffer at the hands of one Severus Snape. You may have to wait a chapter or two to see what exactly the potions master has planned for him, but trust me it will be worth it. I hoped you enjoyed the chapter and as always…
