A/N: I know, these chapters are getting shorter every time... I'm sorry... I'll try to end this fic soon.

Betrayed - 11

Malfoy and Severus carried the unconscious body of Minerva to a private bedroom. Severus examined her while Lucius stood at the end of the bed. After a couple minutes, the potions master took a scrap of parchment from his pocket and used his wand to write a list of ingredients on it, then, he handed it to his companion.
"Find these things," he ordered.
"I am not your servant," Lucius replied.
"The Dark Lord asked both of us to heal the injuries you caused to professor McGonagall, so go and take me this ingredients, please".
Once he was alone with Minerva, Severus took a vial from an inside pocket of his rope and gave it to her. In a matter of seconds she opened her eyes weakly and looked at her saviour.
"Severus... you are alive!" she smiled and she tried to sit up, but her strength failed her.
"Slowly, you were almost dead just a while ago... I just gave you a reliving potion I always carry with me... You'll be feeling better as time passes..."
"They attacked me from the back, I defended myself as I could, but they were three and Lestrange's stunning spell hit me in the chest..."
"You could have got yourself killed, so you better have a good reason for coming back, you were supposed to be far enough to..." he was very disappointed but she made him shut up with a kiss on the lips.
"I needed to know you were alright..." she said.
"I was alright until Bella and Lucius brought you here..." he was very upset "but I'll find a way to free you..."
"Will you come with me?" she asked.
"No. You'll leave and you'll take the baby with you before they find him..."
"Her..." she said.
"What?"
"I had a girl, Severus. Her name is Sarah and she's alright... they'll never find her", and after that she began to tell: "After we said goodbye to each other, I did as you told me and I flew to the Isle of Man during the night. I took the first boat to Ireland and I asked help to the Irish Ministry of Magic. They provided me a place to stay and took really good care of me. I could give them enough information so they could get ready in case they'd be attacked and on October 18th Sarah was born."
"Why did you come back if you both were saved, then?" Severus interrupted.
"Don't you understand it yet... There was something missing, Severus... you. I missed you. Severus, I... I... Merlin, I feel like I am embarrassing myself right now..." she put her eyes down and Severus caressed her cheek slowly, making her look at him.
"I love you too," he said, and at that right moment they were interrupted by the door opening widely.
"I couldn't find everything on the list, Severus," Lucius Malfoy said before seeing Minerva was awake, "Oh, I see the prisoner is fine after all... I'll tell the Dark Lord". Malfoy disappeared again and Severus looked at Minerva with real fear on his eyes.
