On behalf of both of us I would like to apologize for the delay between updates, my younger sister is a college student and I'm in Law School in Virginia ( a little freaked for my first Hurricane) anyway we are still writing it just will take a while to get updates up.
Chapter Thirty six
Order headquarters
"I don't like this, it seems like one of Will's half-baked schemes that could totally blow up in your face if you aren't carefull..." Elisea said after being informed of the plan
"Hey I resent that" Will said
"No, you resemble that" Sarah retorted in typical little sister fashion
"CHILDREN" Anna yelled, all eyes turned to the youngest of the conspirators "shut up this plan will work"
" the most important thing is that no one tells the Adults... oh shit" Anna said
"Oh shit what?" Sarah Asked"
"Snape" Anna said, and the teens heard the sound of feet ascending the stairs.
"Shit..." Sarah said
"What are you all up to?" Remus said walking into the room with Snape behind him
"Nothing" Sarah said too quickly
"You said that too quickly...so what are you up to?" Remus said looking suspicious
"nothing" Anna said confidently
"oh really because I just heard something very interesting at a meeting" Snape said, Sarah and Anna exchanged looks of terror,
"I think you know what I heard... which one of you came up with this hairbrained scheme?" Snape continued
Sarah instantly pointed at Anna
"Do you realize how much danger you all just put your selves in? not to mention the danger that you put Susan in"
"Well...I for one did not have any part in this planning, so..." Sarah said trying to slide out
The adults started to berate the teenagers for their plan pointing out all the possible flaws and continually pointing out how much danger they had put people in
"I wasn't going to get Anna involved...why am I being yelled at! I am an innocent bystander" Sarah said
"yeah sure and I'm the lost princes of the vampires" Elisia said her voice dripping with Sarcasam.
"You are? Really? COOL!" Sarah said
Will face palmed "And people say I'm the stupid one"
"HEY!" Sarah said
"Allow me Rems," Anna said clearing her throat, "CHILDREN SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sarah shoved Anna
"Oh no you didn't just shove me" Anna said shoving Sarah back
"Girls calm down" William said, but the girls just ignored him and continued to fight
"Girls!" Remus shouted over the noise trying to pull the girls apart,
"oh oh let me try" Will Said bouncing up and down
"Go ahead" Remus said
Will took a deep breath "if you two don't stop, I'll start fire" instantly the girls separated "works every time"
"Ass-" Sarah started
"Sarah!" Remus said
"I'm not apologizing" Sarah said defiantly. Anna saw an opportunity and took advantage of the distracted adults and running out to the fire place
flooing to Draco.
"Anna! What-" Draco said looking up from the book he was reading
"Sarah and Will didn't want me to see you they were going to tell the adults that I was leaving I couldn't risk it" Anna explained as Draco drew her close to him 'I could take her to the Dark Lord now...'
"I'm tired, I think I'm gonna head up to the Dorms." Anna said yawning
"Anna, actually, you know...I have another place you could sleep...you'd be much more comfortable"
"Alright," Anna said
"Before we go, though, I need to see Professor Snape"
"Alright do you want me to go too?" Anna asked
"Yes" Draco said after thinking a moment. The two of them walked to Snape's office. Draco knocked waiting for a reply.
{Voldermorts Lair}
Susan was going to go crazy… she needed to be around normal people. Sure Voldermort allowed her to see people but only people he could trust, which meant that the majority of her day was spent either alone or with one of her sister's ex-boyfriends. At this point she was in her room with Mariana; while she didn't especially like the traitor, she was definitely better than either of the alternatives.
"So Susan, how long are you going to hold out, you know that eventually you will come around."
"You underestimate me, Ria. You see my gift gives me the ability to mentally withstand just about anything and I'm even more stubborn than Sarah and Will… combined."
"We'll see" Susan didn't have time respond before her door swung open revealing her least favorite person in the world… not Voldermort, Tristan.
"Hello beautiful."
"Drop dead"
"Oh come on you know you want me… and all you have to do is join us."
"Tristan, we're supposed to be trying to get her to join not giving her reasons not to."
"Very funny Mariana."
"I wasn't joking" Mariana said.
"I know she wants me she's just too proud to admit it." Tristan said reaching out to caress Susan's cheek. Five seconds later he was on the ground, crying as Susan sent a bolt of emotion through him.
"Honestly, I thought you would learn by now, I don't like you, I don't want to be around you, and I especially don't want you to touch me. What you thought just because I have one of the more passive gifts you and I don't have a wand or my siblings I would be defenseless?"
Susan said as she the emotional attack subsided.
"No offence Susan, but you kind of are defenseless. Sure you can use your gift offensively, but if someone were to attack you, there is no way you can block it." Mariana said. "Plus your gift is useless if a person has decent mental shielding."
"Oh really now? Do you want to test that theory?"
"Give me your best shot" Marianna retorted smirking
"You sure you want a piece of this" Susan said buying time to recharge her energy. At that moment Voldermort and Lucious walked in and noticed that the girls seemed to be involved in some sort of confrontation.
"What's going on here?" the Dark Lord Demanded.
"Nothing, my lord." Marianna said dropping the defensive stance
"Actually Tristan there annoyed me and Ria insinuated I couldn't do the same for her... I was just going to prove her wrong"
"You did that" Malfoy said pointing to Tristan who was still on the floor after the earlier attack.
"I would be happy to demonstrate" Susan offered with a somewhat maniacal grin
"No! No demonstration!" Tristan interrupted.
"Don't worry Tristan you're way too easy it's not fun anymore" the boy looked like he wanted to argue but thought better of the idea lest he bring the anger of Susan down upon him again. "And Honesty I doubt Ria would have been much of a challenge either" "Excuse me? I could take you on without even trying!"
"oh really..."
"Yeah, really"
"Because you do realize I've been building up my reserves while you've been talking?" Susan asked causing Marianna to falter a little at hearing that, which weakened her shields.
"My shields can take it"
Susan smirked, dropped her shields and sent a heavy emotional wave busting through Mariana's shields causing Mariana to break down into tears. Susan waited a minute or so and then pulled back on the wave and puts up preliminary shields to keep others out
"Bitch"
"You asked for it, you're just lucky I had already used the more painful emotions on that wimp"
Tristan who had become a little braver now that he has had some time to recover, took offence "What wimp!"
"you Tris"
Tristain ground his teeth, "Don't call me that"
"And what are you going to do about it?"
"Nothing, because I wouldn't want to displease the Dark Lord by hurting you"
"Exactly... Tris" Susan said thinking 'why didn't I start this before he might have left me alone a lot sooner'
Tristan glared clearly annoyed, but he didn't say anything
"Enough, Joshua Mariana go find something to do, I want a word with my cousin"
"I already told you I don't know anything, and I can't tell you what I don't know"
"I know that. I've come to discuss what use you could be to me since I agreed to let your sister go in exchange for your obedience"
"I won't torture people or betray my friends"
"No, I know you wouldn't do that...you weren't the Slytherin. So, I was thinking about how best to make you be of use in my plan to purge the world of those who have unpure blood. And I realized that I could solve it by outnumbering those mudbloods and the like with witches and wizards of pureblood status: That is where you come in."
"Oh no, no no no; NO! There is no way that you're going to use me to... breed purebloods"
"I believe you agreed to do whatever I said as long as you didn't have to kill, torture or maim anyone"
"Really cause usually I wouldn't use words so overarching as anything"
"I agreed to free your sister and not make you do anything against your friends or family. In exchange, you stayed here and did as I ordered, barring the afformentioned exceptions"
"Well there you go, having the children of any of the morons that follow you would be against my family,"
"It would not harm your family in any way. Having pureblod children would help perfect the family instead.
"No, I won't do it, who would you get any way all your followers are married and/or old enough to be my father"
" Everyone has a breaking point...we'll see how long it takes to reach yours"
"What Breaking point? what are you going to do?"
"You have a fear of snakes...let's see how long it takes for you to crack being locked in with Nagini...don't worry. She won't bite unless I say"
"Does it have to be that damn snake?" Voldermort just left locking the door as Susan crept up on the bed trying to get as far away from the snake as possible 'Sarah please figure something out soon'
A couple hours later Susan couldn't take it anymore. She got up and knocked on the door to the room.
"Who would I have to marry?"
"Is that a yes?"
"No I want to know who I'd be marrying before I give you my answer."
Voldermort thought for a minute, "Since you are my cousin, I will give you a choice"
"Anyone I want?"
"Of course not. A choice out of the options I will give you.
There is Amycus Carrow, Severus Snape, Joshua, or Tristan or Rabastan Lestrange"
"They're all old enough to be my father... or one of my sister's ex-boyfriends you actually expect me to pick one of them?"
"Well, there is one more option"
"let me guess Draco freaking Malfoy"
"No"
"That one-armed rat of yours?"
"Wormtail? Hmm...I hadn't considered him...he did lead to me to the Potters and returned me to my body...as of now, he can be a candidate, but he was not who I was thinking of"
Susan shivered at thought of marrying Wormtail, "who else is there? I thought the rest of your cronies were married"
"I am still single"
"You? You are my cousin, and old,"
"I am your very distant cousin"
"it's still gross"
"Well, you have your choices"
"Why on earth would I pick any of them"
"Because I am telling you to"
"I can't, I won't I have a boyfriend and I will not betray him!"
"You will, because as long as you are here, you will do as I say. And I will make you, if necessary
"I can't there is no good choice,"
Voldermort pointed his wand at Susan "Imperio!"
Susan fought the effects of the curse, trying to keep from having to pick from the myriad of bad choices
"You are stronger than I expected" Voldermort said after a while
"Thank you, I have one other question, do any of the men actually know about this plan of yours"
"All of my death eaters, minus Wormtail, are pleased to be considered a candidate, and are happy to serve me"
"Even Professor Snape? He seems like the eternal loner type to me"
"I haven't had a chance to inform Severus of this honor, but he will be happy to serve me, I am sure"
"And how exactly do you expect me to make a decision. The only person who I know that I'd even consider is Professor Snape, and he's my Professor"
"How you decide is up to you...but let me know when you decide, and I will take Nagini back" said as he left and locked the door and Susan dropped onto the bed
Please review, the next chapter is written so it will probably be posted soon... I'm contemplating holding it ransom for reviews... but then again we haven't updated in a while so if you've alerted the story keep an eye on your in boxes.
