Chapter 11

The Christmas holidays were upon the school. Manny had chosen to stay at the school, but she was permitted to leave for the town or parties at her slightest whim. She was sitting in a warm coffee shop, notebook in front of her, pen in hand, and cell phone on her ear.

"No! God damn are you fucking deaf? I told you to hold off on the fucking shipment! How the hell am I supposed to get to Romania today? Do you think I have magical powers that I can use to transport me across large spaces? Do you think? Ever?" a small voice squeaked in her ear, and was cut off by, "Just forget it. I'll deal with it you fucking moron." And she flipped the phone shut, lighting a cigarette, she went over the note she had been righting.

Severus,

Meet me at 45 south and 119 east, 12 tonight.

Vladimirishka, my love

Me

Short and partially encrypted. The coordinates were a small farm house she had purchased in the Romanian hills, before the whole second grandfather thing came along. She was in fact one of the wealthiest women in the world, selling drugs, doing hits, anything that she could make a profit for. Her phone call had made the man feel stupid, but she had planned on it being there anyways. She could, at anytime, sneak off to one of her many houses and simply disappear under enough spells and enchantments to take down Hogwarts.

Folding the letter, she put a spell of secrecy on it. Severus would only be able to open it when he was totally alone, and after reading it twice, it would burst into flames. She sealed it with a kiss, and flicked it with her wand watching it zoom back up to the castle.

The note slid under the door to Severus' office and onto his desk, on the paper he was marking. He opened it, and saw the bright red lipstick print and smiled. He unfolded it, read it, and tossed the paper to the side. He watched it burn to ash before getting up and striding to his chambers, a happy smile on his face.

Dumbledore watched his granddaughter in his crystal ball. He had thought she would fall for Draco or Ron, but she had surprised him. She obviously made her own destiny, completely oblivious to the one predestined to her. Her parents knew she was a drug runner, but he knew it was much more than that. He knew about the deaths, the hiding places, the cruelty. But he never realized it wasn't because it was part of her destiny, but because it's what she wanted. He looked at thegirl he had brought candy to as a small baby, his daughters pride and joy. And for the first time saw pure evil in her. A happy demon, oblivious to the world, only doing what she had too to get what she wanted. He shivered and threw a scarf over the crystal's picture.

Severus apparatted to the point 15 minutes early. "Vladimirishka" he whispered to the door. It creaked open and revealed a room lit with red and black candles. A dark wood was laid as flooring, and the curtains were black. Red cushions were on the floor by a cozy fire. And on top of the cushions Manny lounged in a black thong and red corset. Two bags lay on the floor beside her, one with American money, and another with weed. She looked up and blew smoke at him.

"You're early" Manny stood and walked up to Severus, giving him a deep kiss.

"Wanted to make sure I got the right place." He smiled down at her.

"You were checking up on me." She smiled back

"Maybe." He leaned down and kissed her deeply, probing her mouth with his tongue. She pulled him back to a bedroom he hadn't seen, and onto the large canopy bed in the middle. She pulled off his shirt and unbuttoned his pants.

(Two hours later)

She traced the dark mark on his arm with her finger. Her head was on his chest and his other arm held her protectively.

"I should get back, papers to grade." Severus said, not moving.

"You can do that tomorrow." Manny said, perfectly content.

"Mmkay." He said kissing her on the forehead and drifting off to sleep.

Manny's phone started singing 'Fight for your right to party' at 6:11 am. "Hey Gramps, its still morning, why are you calling?"

"Because when I tried the fireplace I saw my potions master in you bed naked."

"Good reason"

"I disapprove of this Manny. He's much too old for you."

"Fuck off, it's my choice."

"Well send him back to the school, I want a word with him."

"You aren't going to tell him to leave me alone are you?"

"No, I'm going to tell him that if he hurts you, I will lock him in a closet with rancid flesh for food."

"Ok, he's on his way."

Manny looked over at Severus. He smiled at her, and instead of getting up, she lay back down in his arms and fell asleep again.
