The Beguiling of Snape: The Silent Prison 3

Eighteen years later......In a meeting that was called together at Malfoy mansion in mid April 1997…..

"You have been summoned here because Lord Voldemort has been defeated. This time we believe that it is forever. Being his right hand for all these years I feel that I deserve to take the leadership of this movement. In August, I will be traveling with my son and wife to the Untied States to recruit more for our side. Just because Voldemort is gone doesn't mean that we can't continue with his ideas," said Lucius.

"Then what is it you want us to do while you are gone?" asked Snape.

"Well I am glad that you asked that Severus, you see you won't be here. You will be dead. I know that for years you have been feeding Dumbledore all kinds of information. For this you will die. Not from some killing curse, no that would be to easy," said Lucius as he saw the tension showing of Snape's face.

"I would never betray Lord Voldemort," said Snape blankly.

"So, you say you were faithful to Lord Voldemort, let us just see," and with this

Lucius waved his wand and said, "Veritas."

Severus clutched his chest, as the pain was almost unbearable.

"You claim you were not one of Dumbledore's spies. Is this true? Are you a spy?" asked Lucius with a sneer on his face.

As hard a Snape tried he could not fight the curse.

"I have been working for Albus."

"How long have you been a traitor?" asked Lucius.

"I have been helping him for eighteen years."

"Why did you become a death eater? Just to spy you traitorous bastard?" asked Lucius with loathing.

"No, I became a death eater to kill you."

"And why would you want to kill me. I have never done anything to you," replied Lucius with amusement.

"Because almost nineteen years ago you murdered one of the kindest most beautiful young witches to ever walk this earth," Snape said as he still endured the pain of the veritas.

With a scowl on his face, Lucius thought for a moment and then it dawned on him.

"Oh you mean that mudblood loving little snipe Katarina Macnair. Why would you care what happened to her?" as he looked at Snape he answered his own question. "You were in love with her."

"Yes," Snape said with a tormented look.

"That figures, you both were traitors and you both deserve to die, slowly. I think that you have had enough, I wouldn't want to kill you just yet. Finite incantatum."

Severus gasped for air as the spell was lifted.

"So you were in love with Katarina. Well let me tell you how she suffered. I was ordered to take her into the woods and make sure no one ever found her, but I didn't kill her right away. You see I had to have my fun with her first and what a good fuck she was. She begged for me to stop but she was just too delicious. She did everything I told her to do and I had her believing for a while that she would be allowed to live, but I lied," said Lucius knowing that he would get a rise out of Snape with that comment.

Severus came at Lucius with murder in his eyes but before he could reach him….

"Stupify," said Lucius nonchalantly.

~~*~~

It was a cool mid April evening. Katarina was out enjoying a walk at sunset, which she did quite often. The big full moon just starting to rise when the deafening silence of the night was torn apart by a blood curdling scream and the howl of a wolf.

~~*~~

"Albus, I am very worried," said Minerva MacGonagall, "Severus hasn't been seen in two days. What could have happened to him?"

"All I know Minerva is that he was called by the dark mark and I haven't heard from him since. With Voldemort defeated the only person that I could think of that would call him is Lucius Malfoy and that doesn't make me feel very good," said Dumbledore with much concern.

"You don't think that something has happened to him do you?"

"Minerva, I wish I knew but I just don't."

~~*~~

She wasn't thinking when she started running towards where the scream had come from. As she approached the clearing she saw him lying on the ground with a wolf standing next to him sniffing his hair. Katarina slowly walked up to the wolf and patted his head. She reached down to the man and moved his hair away from his hidden face. She brought her hand to her mouth. It was Severus Snape. She reached down to test for a pulse and found a very shallow one. She wouldn't be able to tell the extent of his injuries until she got him back to the cottage. He had an extremely bad gash over his right eye, which was causing all of the blood. She took her handkerchief from her pocket and tried to stop the flow of blood. With this done she grabbed him by the arms and started to slowly drag him the quarter of a mile back to her cottage. It was completely dark by the time she got him there and they were both filthy. As she drug him the bedroom she found strength that she didn't know she had a heaved him up on the bed.

She started to remove his robes to find out the extent of his injuries when she saw the dark mark on his forearm. Someone had cut an "X" across it. Katarina knew from when her father was a death eater that was a sign of someone being accused of being a traitor to Voldemort. That would have to be stitched she thought, as would the gash over his eye.

When he was down to nothing but his boxer shorts, she started to feel his limbs to see if anything was broken. Finding nothing broken she moved to his ribs. There were angry black and purple bruises all over his rib cage. As she felt his ribs she heard a faint moan of pain and she knew that there must be a least a couple of cracked ribs since nothing felt to be broken. She gently bathed him and set to wrapping his ribs to keep them from moving so they could heal. She then started stitching his wounds with needle and thread from her sewing basket. She tried to make little stitches so the scaring would be minimal.

This all done she gently covered his injured body and went to clean herself up.
