I don't own Yugioh or Harry Potter

Chapter 14

Jasmine and Ginny were still supporting Krista as they walked up to the gate of Malfoy Manor. As Ginny was waving her wand to gain access to the grounds, she noticed Narcissa walking out of the manor carrying a bouquet of white roses.

The trio of girls walked up to Narcissa. "Good afternoon, Narcissa." Ginny said.

Narcissa smiled. "Ginevra, how was your afternoon out?"

"Great." Ginny said, when she noticed that Narcissa seemed concerned about Krista's lack of strength she added. "Although I think Krista partied a little too hard."

Narcissa nodded her head. "Krista, do you want me to have a house elf get you something to perk you up."

"Just a cup of black coffee." Krista replied.

"You sure you don't want me to have one bring you a Sobering Potion. I have some in inventory." Narcissa inquired.

Keeping with the assumption she was tipsy and not magically drained, Krista stated in a giggly voice. "That'd kill the great buzz I've got going, just some coffee please."

"Okay but if you change your mind, let me know." Cissa stated.

Krista nodded. "I will."

"Tilly!" Narcissa hollered.

Within seconds a house elf popped next to Narcissa. "Mistress called for Tilly." The elf said while giving her mistress a bow.

"Yes will you go to the kitchen and make Krista some coffee then bring it to her when it is done. She likes to have hers black." Cissa ordered. The elf nodded her head before disappearing with a pop.

Narcissa pointed to her manor. "Why don't you three go inside and wait, I'll be in shortly. I'm going to put..." Narcissa began to say but somehow was unable or perhaps just unwilling to finish her statement.

Ginny noticing them, pointed to the flowers. "Flowers on Bellatrix's grave." She said.

Krista looked at Narcissa. "Narcissa it is okay, I told you that you don't have to be so shy about showing respect for your sister in my presence. I know you loved her, and you know I don't hold you responsible for what she did."

"I know you told me that before," said Cissa. "It is just I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

Jasmine had spent the last few minutes looking at Narcissa. Something about her seemed familiar. When it finally dawned on her she said. "If you don't mind I'd like to go with you."

Krista raised an eyebrow at Jasmine. "Jasmine."

Jasmine let go of Krista's waist. After making sure Ginny was able to support Krista she said. "Krista it is just something I feel I must do, assuming it is alright with Mrs. Malfoy."

Narcissa nodded her head. "It is fine with me, but please call me Narcissa."

"As you wish, and feel free to call me Jasmine." Jasmine said.

Ginny and Krista left to go into the manor as Jasmine and Narcissa started walking along the grounds toward Bella's grave.

The two ladies walked for a while without saying a word. Eventually Cissa asked. "Jasmine, did you know my sister?"

"Only by reputation," replied Jasmine. "Krista's mom was sort of like my father's goddaughter." Jasmine explained.

Narcissa felt a shiver run down her spine. "Oh I see."

Noticing Narcissa seemed edgy, Jasmine added. "I don't hold you responsible for your sister's sin."

Something about Jasmine's demeanor was unsettling to Cissa, so she asked. "Why did you want to come pay respects to her?"

"I didn't. I wanted to talk to you in private." Jasmine stated.

Cissa stopped dead in her tracks and said in a demanding tone. "Okay what do you want?"

Jasmine snickered. "You don't recognize me do you?"

"Should I?" Cissa asked.

Jasmine pointed to Cissa. "Last New Year's Eve Roland came to party at my place of employment, you were his arm candy that night and you two trashed the VIP room. It took the repair crew three days to fix it." Jasmine said.

Cissa's eyes went wide as her memory set in. "You were the dancer with the bright pink hair and silver mini dress. You handed us the Sake, but refused to be the entertainment."

Jasmine nodded. "I could sense your magic and didn't want to expose you. So I let Destiny have the honors of playing hostess. I wanted to talk to you since I wondering why you showed up with him and didn't want to speak about it in front of the others. I wanted to save you any embarrassment. I mean even though it isn't unheard of for a woman to accompany a man to a strip club for a kinky thrill. You just don't strike me a woman who would be that kinky."

Cissa shrugged her shoulders and began walking again. "Roland said it would be fun. I must say it was a different experience for a date, and it did put him in the mood."

"How did you get Density to leave the two of you alone?" Jasmine asked.

"A Confundus Charm." Cissa replied.

"When in doubt use magic." Jasmine stated.

"Works every time." Cissa said as she approached Bella's grave and began placing the flowers on it.

"I still can't believe you actually were there." Jasmine stated.

"I can't believe a witch would work in the muggle world as a.." Cissa started to say.

"Stripper." Jasmine interrupted. She then shrugged her shoulders. "It is actually fun. But I would appreciate it if you don't tell anyone about my past employment, most wouldn't understand."

"Don't tell anyone I was there and you have a deal." Cissa sneered.

"Deal." said Jasmine.

Jasmine remained silent for several minutes observing Cissa as she continue to pay her respects to her sister. When she was done the two began to walk across the grounds back towards Malfoy Manor. As they were walking Jasmine asked. "Does your son know you are kind of a wild woman?"

"I'm not a wild woman," snapped Narcissa. "I'm just making up for all the years with Lucius. That man couldn't make love for toffee."

Jasmine began laughing. "That bad huh."

"He was selfish in bed, always getting his before I got mine." Cissa grumbled.

Jasmine was hit with a revelation, she wasn't sure if she would get an answer or not but asked anyway. "You never really loved him did you?"

Cissa sighed as she contemplated telling Jasmine anything more. After a moments consideration she decided to be truthful. "Oh I think I loved Lucius at one time, but that changed when Draco was three. Lucius kicked me down a flight of stairs killing the child I was carrying within."

"So that is the pain you share with Krista you both went through a miscarriage." Jasmine said mostly to herself, although Narcissa heard her.

"The difference is I can have more children and carry to term just fine if I really wanted to." Cissa stated.

Jasmine gave Narcissa a quizzical look. "You didn't take permanent measures afterwards?"

Cissa smirked. "Actually, I did a rather sneaky move, proving I was a true Slytherin. After Lucius passed out from the Firewhiskey, I put an Irreversible Infertility Curse on him. I wasn't about to let him kill another one of my children, let alone before they even would have a chance to see the world. I may have been forced with an Unbreakable Vow to stay faithful and by his side. But that vow didn't apply to our offspring anymore since he already had his male heir."

Jasmine nodded her head as things were beginning to become clearer to her. "Now I understand how Krista and you became so close you shared this with her too."

Narcissa nodded her head. "I did."

Narcissa and Jasmine continued to make their way towards the front doors to Malfoy Manor. As they continued their walk Cissa sated. "I must admit I am jealous of Krista. She knows what it is like to have true love, I've never had that."

"When I was little I used to tell people when you are lucky life will give you your shot at true love, and when it happens you need to take the bull by the horns for some reason it seems to fit here now too." Jasmine said.

"I'll keep that in mind," said Narcissa. After observing Jasmine for a few moments Cissa asked. "So who is it for you?"

Jasmine began blushing. "You noticed huh."

"I can just sense it." Cissa replied.

"I think you may actually know him, he is the current headmaster." Jasmine confessed.

"Oh you lucky witch, he is good!" Exclaimed Narcissa.

"You and Severus used to be an item?" Jasmine asked.

Cissa shook her head. "No, it was nothing more than one night of great sex. I've never had romantic feelings for Severus just feelings of friendship, feelings of gratitude for swearing to keep Draco safe, and of course one night of uncontrollable lust."

Jasmine took a few more step when an epiphany hit her like a ton of bricks causing her to stop walking. "You know the truth about your son but pretend to not know. Why is that?"

Cissa was thrown back by Jasmine's inquire but answered her anyway. "It keeps him safer. I know the role he is playing, as well as Severus' role, but by pretending to not realize the truth it keeps the Dark Lord from trying to get it out of me. Even though I can control my thoughts and feeling, having to have had to master that while being married to Lucius. I'm no where as good as Draco or Severus so I keep my distance from the Dark Lord whenever possible. It seems you saw right through me too."

"Everyone is born with certain magical gifts that dominate others, mine is the ability to read people's hearts. I have a strong intuition when it comes to feelings of love or protection." Jasmine explained.

"Don't let anyone know the truth," pleaded Narcissa. "I will let Draco know I know everything he has done to help me and our world but not until the Dark Lord in vanquished."

"I won't do anything that would potentially harm Krista, and since you and Draco are her family and she cares for you. I'll not say a word." Jasmine promised.

Narcissa nodded her head to express her thanks. She then said. "You care about Krista very much."

"I've known her a long time and I consider her my best friend." Jasmine confessed.

Narcissa began walking again. Only this time it seemed that she was baffled about something. Eventually she said. "You know. I thought something was different about Severus when he came by to see Draco. I should have known that a pretty witch had stolen his heart. So how did you two meet?"

Jasmine busted out laughing. "About three weeks ago, Krista sent him to Ziva's hoping it would help him relax. And we ended up trashing the VIP room as a result. Don't tease him too much."

"You mean the fact that he has fallen in love with a stripper." Narcissa stated in a teasing tone.

"Former exotic dancer," corrected Jasmine. "As this year I was hired to teach History of Magic. And I was meaning more the fact that we just met less than a month ago."

"You replaced the unrequited love that has been haunting him for years with true love. So I guess I can be nice to my son's godfather and not tease him." Cissa promised.

Jasmine raised her eyebrows at Cissa. "It seems I'm not the only witch with strong intuitions."

"I've just know Severus a long time." Cissa said as she approached the door to Malfoy manor.

She opened the door holding it open she stated in a stern tone. "This whole conversation stays just between us, okay."

Jasmine nodded her head. "Of course."

Jasmine and Narcissa entered the manor to find Draco Krista Ginny and Severus sitting in the living room. They group was enjoying beverages and crumpets. Jasmine sat by Severus, grabbed herself a cup of coffee and asked Krista. "Feeling better yet?"

"A little." Krista replied.

Severus looked at Jasmine then at Narcissa. "Do I need to worry about anything that was said." Severus asked Jasmine who just shook her head in response as she deduced he must have realized that they had a lengthy conversation.

Unfortunately, for Severus is question was overheard by Draco. "Godfather, that is an odd thing to ask." Draco mutter while picking up his cup of tea. As he was about to sip it he had a sudden thought that made him drop his cup on the floor. "Unless." Draco began fiercely shaking his head. "Oh no you didn't!" Draco turned his head making eye contact with Snape. "Oh my God you did!"

Ginny bent down to pick up the tea cup off the floor. "Draco what is with the rambling outburst?" She asked.

Draco pressed his fingers to his temples as he tried to gain some control over the embarrassment that was coursing in his veins. "Everyone knows that a guy only worries about swapped stories between two females is when he has shagged both and is afraid they were poking fun of his techniques. Meaning my godfather seduced and fucked my mum."

Narcissa looked at her son. "If you must know Draco, we were both extremely drunk. And I seduced Severus not the other way around."

"Not helping my sanity mum!" Cried Draco. He then glared into his cousin's eyes. "Krista did you know?"

Krista pointed to her Necklace. "You mean about a possible drunken one night stand. Hello I'm the Queen of the Underground, the woman with the most over active sex drive in the known universe, the one who can sense when someone has gotten laid."

Getting the hint that she had seen it with her Necklace Draco stated. "Then that is a yes."

Narcissa nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders then declared. "Well I'm off to London."

Draco looked at his mother and asked. "Meeting Aunt Andromeda for tea?"

"No, I'm going clubbing." Narcissa stated. "I want to get my kicks while I'm still young enough to get them."

"Please tell me you are being safe, the last thing I need added to my stress level is to have to have numerous paternity tests ran for you." Draco said.

Narcissa smirked as she reached into her pocket pulling out a condom. "Isn't that what these are for? To prevent that from being necessary."

"At least you didn't do the Queen of the Underground's signature move, since I'm sure she gave you a few pointers." Draco grumbled.

Curiosity getting the better of Ginny caused her to ask. "What move is Draco talking about?"

Krista snickered. "I used to keep condoms in my bra and pull them out as a suggestive notion. And everyone in the underground knew that was my move, even those I didn't seduce."

Jasmine looked at Snape and figured he needed a change in conversation so she said. "Ginny said you wanted to take me side along apparating."

Snape mouthed a thank you to Jasmine in which she replied by just nodded her head. "I'm waiting for Kaiba to show up, he is bringing me something I think you'll like."

Krista began to shake her head in disbelief. "Ginny you are sneaky. You knew I didn't need to contact Seto because he was already showing up."

Ginny smirked. "Of course."

Jasmine look up at Severus and asked. "What did you do?"

Snape kept his face straight and said. "If I tell you now that would ruin the surprise I have planned for our date."

Krista notice Narcissa was just about to leave so she said. "Narcissa have fun tonight."

"I intend to." Narcissa said as she grabbed her purse, gave a still very embarrassed Draco a hug goodbye and began walking towards her front door, when the group noticed that they had an unannounced visitor enter the room.

Draco's embarrassment at finding out about his mother's conquests quickly vanished as he stood to his feet and walked up to his guest. "My Lord, I wasn't expecting you today. During our last meeting you said you had something to search for."

"I'm still following leads, but needed to check in on my second best Death Eater. I was certain you wouldn't mind." Voldemort stated.

"Not at all my Lord, you know I'm honored to have you here." Draco said.

Voldemort looked around to see that the room wasn't empty. "I see you have some visitors. Good afternoon, Severus."

Snape stood feet. "Afternoon my Lord."

Voldemort began eyeing the other visitors, when he saw Krista he said. "Ah yes the witch who so skillfully killed Alex and cursed Bellatrix."

"Is that a problem for you?" Krista asked.

"I would have preferred to not lose one of my best Death Eaters," Voldemort said while glaring at Krista. "But you do have power that intrigues me. However, you seem out of it right now. What is wrong with you?"

Krista decided the best lie to tell Voldemort would be one that would stroke his ego. "Why your greatness, Ginevra, Jasmine and I went out to celebrate your fiendishly clever takeover of the Ministry resulting in the salvation of all purebloods. We toasted to your power, your ingenious strategies, and your success. We went to a pub that only the purest of witches and wizards can go to party. I just happened to have a little too much Firewhiskey and am a bit tipsy. However, I'm still able to hold my wand steady and could Crucio any muggle or Mudblood who gets in my way."

Voldemort looked at Krista for several moments observing her body language. From what he could tell by it, she looked tipsy, so he decided to forgo trying to verify her story. He then looked over at Jasmine and said. "You are the witch Severus hired for History of Magic."

"I am." Jasmine said.

"Where did you do your training?" The Dark Lord asked. "You are not from England and didn't study at Hogwarts."

Jasmine thought up the quickest lie she could based on her historical knowledge. "You are right I'm not from England, my father was an Egyptian Wizard and my mother was a Greek Witch. Therefore I studied magic at Olympus School of Magic. It is a school that only those who are born to a pure blood Greek Witch or Wizard can attend. It is on a small island dead center of the Mediterranean Sea."

Voldemort wasn't fully convinced by Jasmine lie. He decided he needed to verity it, and when he got nothing he became more suspicious. He walked up to her and lifted the pendent around her neck. He held it up as he examined it. "Does this necklace give you the ability to keep me out of your mind?"

Jasmine could feel herself becoming panicky, but she refused to let it show. "I guarantee you it is just a family heirloom. It has no magical properties. It is merely decretive." She said.

Voldemort released Jasmine's amulet and said. "Then you must be a master of Occlumency." He declared.

Knowing she needed a good lie, to cover up the fact that she had a Shadow Spell cast on her by Krista she said. "With all due respect you are mistaken. Those that attend Olympus have a spell cast on them at graduation that prohibits anyone from extracting information from their mind. It is done in order to protect the school's location from non pureblooded witches and wizards. You can only be told where it is by one who attended it. Which is why I told you it's location."

Voldemort pulled out his wand and pointed it at Jasmine. "Perhaps you are just lying to me and need to be persuaded."

Krista was about to leap out of her seat when she felt both Draco and Ginny's hands on her arms. She took a breath so she could regain control over her temper, before she blew everyone's cover. She knew she couldn't interfere even though she really wanted to.

Snape having seen enough and knowing just what was about to happen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought to himself. "Jasmine please forgive me for what I'm about to say and do but there is no other way to keep the Dark Lord from cursing you now or even something worse later. You need to trust me. I refuse to see history repeat itself. I already lost one woman I loved, I refuse to lose another." Snape knowing his thoughts were breaking the surface repressed them quickly before he stood up. He then approach Voldemort. "My lord, I have a better suggestion for this witch."

Snape's words intrigued the Dark Lord. "You do."

"Yes, she is a pure blood, as I've seen her pedigree. As I wouldn't have hired her if I hadn't." Snape sneered

"What do you want me to do with her then. If I can't verify if she is lying to me, how do I know if she will be loyal to my cause?" Voldemort asked.

"Give her to me." Snape demanded.

Voldemort looked at Jasmine then at Snape. "You desire this witch."

"Why wouldn't I?" Snape asked as he gestured to Jasmine. "She is young, healthy, pleasant to look at, and has great birthing hips. She no doubt would give me an heir."

"You will keep her in line then." The Dark Lord stated.

Snape nodded. "Of course my Lord."

Voldemort pondered things over for a moment, even though it felt like an eternity to everyone else present. "I must say she is a better choice than that Mudblood you wanted so many years ago."

Snape inwardly let out a sigh of relief before saying. "As you pointed out many times, there are plenty more witches of purer blood worthy to be mine."

Voldemort walked behind Jasmine giving her a push towards Snape. This caused her to lose her balance and stumble forward several feet. "She is yours, you know what you must do to insure her place at your side."

"Of course." Snape took a deep breath as he walked closer to Jasmine grabbing her left forearm. Jasmine surprised Snape when she grabbed his forearm without being told to, apparently her knowledge was more thorough then he thought. "Draco pull out your wand to bear witness to this. Jasmine choose someone to finalize." He ordered.

Jasmine thought for a few moments, her first thought was to ask Krista, but knowing she was still recovering from her Shadow Spell she said the next name to come to her mind. "Narcissa would you do the honors?"

Narcissa pulled out her wand. "Sure."

Snape looked at Draco. He seemed to be frozen from shock. "Draco, I need you."

Draco got to his feet while he was pulling out his wand. "I'm on my way." Draco mumbled while he looked at Ginny and Krista who looked like they were struggling with their impulses to say something to stop the inevitable. In the back of his mind he was screaming Okay I need wake up from this freaky dream now.

Draco shook off his thoughts so that he wouldn't have his mind betray him as he approached the two. He then pointed his wand at the joined arms of Jasmine and Severus. "Jasmine Martock will you swear to take me as yours as I now swear to take you as mine?" Snape asked.

"I will." Upon Jasmine's words a gold ribbon of light erupted out of Draco's wand wrapping around the two joined arms.

"Will you swear you fidelity and place at my side?" Snape asked.

"I will." Once again a ribbon exited the tip of Draco wand creating a second band.

"Will you swear to give me an heir when the timing it right?" Snape asked.

"I will." Jasmine stated causing a third ribbon to join the first two.

The ribbons glowed for several moments sealing the vow. When they vanished Narcissa sent up white sparks from her wand. "I now declare you two are bonded for life."

"Now that was entertaining." The Dark Lord sneered. He then looked at Snape. "Severus you have done well. I believe she is worthy to be yours." Voldemort then looked over at Draco. "I came by to say I will need to use your home to house prisoners who will be rounded up thought this school year. As I'm certain there will be several who refuse the new law pertaining to the Muggle Born Registration Act."

Even though Draco's gut feelings told him that wasn't the only motivation for Voldemort showing up, he just wanted the Dark Lord gone quickly so he said. "My dungeons are at your disposal as well as my house elves. You have free access to them."

"Good. Now I shall leave to continue following my leads." Voldemort stated.

Voldemort exited Malfoy Manor without another word. Once he was gone Narcissa stated. "I have an evening planned and I don't wish to delay it any longer." She walked over to the couple. "I guess congratulations are an order." She then gave Jasmine a wink. "I'd ask you to join me, but I know that you have other things to do tonight."

As Narcissa was exiting the manor, Ginny noticed that Draco had slumped back into his chair. He looked positively overwhelmed. She lovingly took his hand in hers. "Draco, are you going to be okay?"

"No I'm not!" The young wizard yelled. "My forty year old mother is acting like a sex starved teenager, and my godfather just got hitched Death Eater style."

Krista stared at the couple before putting in her two sense. "Jasmine I didn't say anything earlier for obvious reasons but what the fuck were you thinking? You do realize you just got married and had that sealed..."

Krista's ranting was interrupted by Jasmine. "With an Unbreakable Vow. I know."

"Why did you do it?" Krista asked. "I could have done something, I happen to know several Shadow Spells that would have helped defuse the situation."

Draco glared at Krista. "Cousin with your insane prideful refusal at taking a Strengthen Potion when I tried to offer you one as soon as I saw you come in here, I wouldn't have let you cast another Shadow Spell in your current condition. I would have stunned you before you could have reacted."

"Krista, it was my choice." Jasmine added.

Snape took Jasmine's hand in his. "Jasmine I want you to know that..."

Jasmine interrupted once again. "You could think of no other way to keep me from being cursed with a Cruciatus Curse and in the future a Killing Curse."

Snape nodded. "How did you know that? I thought Occlumency blocks your radar."

Jasmine smiled as put her hand on Snape's cheek. "Because as crazy as it sounds knowing just how short of a time we've known each other. I love you and I know you love me." Jasmine replied.

"More than I probably should. People I care for tend to end up dead." Snape admitted. "But that doesn't explain..."

For a third time in a matter of minutes, Jasmine interrupted once again. "When a Valkyria meets and has consummated with their mate chosen by destiny. And that mate is driven by love to protect their mate. The Valkyria can hear their mate's thoughts. I heard you crying out to me to understand what you were planning to do and to trust you. So I did."

The group remained silent for a few moments as they were trying to process this newest development. It seemed everyone was lost in their thoughts. They were snapped out of their thoughts when a Shadow Portal opened and Kaiba stepped out. He took one look at everyone and asked. "What did I miss?"

"A shot gun wedding!" Jasmine exclaimed.

"Come again?" The High Priest asked.

Krista pointed at Jasmine. "Meet the new Mrs. Snape."

Kaiba went over to his wife giving her a quick kiss. "You better give me the 411 later, Imzadi. I think I need to hear this story or perhaps even see it once your energies are back to normal. I know how draining that Shadow Spell was since you told me the side effect before you left to cast it."

Kaiba walked over to Snape. He reached into his pocket pulling out two tickets. "Here they are Severus. However, considering the circumstances maybe you should have had me get you some rings."

"I have a set at home that are a Prince family heirloom." Snape held out the palm of his hand. "In fact they should be materializing any second now." Sure enough as soon as Snape finished his little speech two silver wedding bands encrusted with emeralds materialized. Snape picked up the smaller of the two. "Would Mrs. Snape allow me to place this on her finger?"

Jasmine snicker as she picked up the man's ring. "Only if you allow me to put yours on you?"

After Severus and Jasmine finished exchanging rings, Snape took the tickets from Kaiba. "How much do I owe you for these?"

"Severus, consider them a wedding gift." The CEO stated.

Snape nodded as he handed Jasmine the tickets to look at. "Here Jasmine."

Jasmine let out a squeal of delight. "You got front row tickets to Whitesnake, right on!"

Snape smiled. "I remember you said they were your favorite rock band so I had Kaiba buy the tickets. He told me that the band was performing in New York, so I told Ginevra to bring you here so I could take you to the concert by side along apparation."

"I could think of worse places to have our honeymoon than New York City." Jasmine said in a teasing tone. "So what are we waiting for, let's go."

Krista was busy entering data on her cell phone as she spoke. "My present to you two is I just finished booking and paying for the honeymoon suite at the Manhattan East Hilton. Have a good honeymoon."

Snape and Jasmine nodded their heads to express thier thanks. Snape then wrapped his arm around the waist of his bride as he escorted her out of the manor. Once the couple reached the area outside the boarders that prohibited apparition, Snape disapparated the two of them away.
