Tidmag – Hmmm, well Lucius because he's a bloody dastard.  And Voldie….I actually half like him and half dislike him.  He is the villain yet he's one of the funnest characters to write.  ^^  It's the evil Dark Lord thing.  *laugh*

Demia – Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Chapter 56 **The Plan is Set Into Motion**

"Damn!"

Severus hissed and clutched at his left arm.  It was now the second day since Voldemort had sent the serpent statue and they were planning Harry's rescue for that night.  Severus was going to Apparate there, link a Port key, then Apparate back and give the Portkey to Moody.  The ex-Auror would use the Portkey and take himself and the fully werewolf Remus and Saerry to Voldemort's lair.  Sirius would also be going with them.

Now all they needed was sunset.  Remus and Saerry had already had their last dose of the Wolfsbane potion and were waiting, one in the Shrieking Shack and the other in a lower, less used half of the dungeons.  As soon as they transformed and twilight fell, the plan would be set into motion.

Severus sank into his chair and looked at the pocketwatch lying on his desk.  Leaning back, one hand over the burning Dark Mark, he thought Half an hour.  Half and hour and I will make them pay for taking my son.

A half-hour later Severus crept up from the dungeons with a large, gaunt black wolf following him.  They slipped quickly outside and ran across the grounds to the spot where Dumbledore had told them to meet.  Moody was already there, holding a gold pocketwatch in one hand and looking quite perturbed.

As they came to a halt beside him, he growled, "What took you so long?"

Severus snapped, "You try sneaking out of Hogwarts with a large wolf."

"I'll leave the more obvious jobs to you."

The black wolf pulled her lips back over pearly white fangs and growled.

Moody frowned, his scarred face looking even more scarred.  He growled, "Fine, fine."

A large shaggy black dog and a great gray and brown wolf suddenly bounded up out of the dark.  The dog turned into a grim (no pun intended) looking Sirius who snarled, "Let's go."

Moody glared at him then handed the watch to Severus.

"Remember to link it."

"I know how to make a Portkey damnit," snapped Severus, glaring coldly at Moody.

Suddenly the Mark burned again and he snarled, "I'll be back."  With a pop he Apparated.

Sirius growled, "I bet he doesn't come back."

The black wolf snarled at him and he sighed.  "Sorry Saerry, but I don't trust your brother."

Saerry snorted as if to say 'Oh really?' and sat down.  The other wolf, Remus, lolled out his tongue in the wolf version of laughter and Sirius snarled, "Oh shut up Moony."

A second later Severus reappeared and shoved the pocketwatch back into Moody's hand.  H snapped, "Move quickly.  We don't have much time."  With another pop he was gone.

Moody held out the watch and growled, "Move."

Sirius clamped a hand onto the watch and buried the other in Remus' fur.  Both Remus and Saerry touched their noses to the Portkey but Sirius and Moody held onto their fur, just incase.

The four of them felt a tug below their navel then suddenly they were in a dark dungeon room.  Across the room Severus leaned against a wall.  He waved a hand and spat, "Welcome to Hell."

A/N: I love that last line!  Now on to 57!
