Part three:

Severus appeared in a large room, it was in essence the entrance hall to Voldemort's mansion. It was the place all the Death Eaters floo'd to. He looked around surprised that there weren't more Death Eaters milling about. Normally there would at least be a couple that had floo'd in before him but there was no one. He gave a slight mental shrug. 'I guess my lord only called me.' This was not that rare an occurrence; there were things that Sev had to discuss with Voldemort that the other Death Eaters could not know.

Sev made his way to Voldemort's study. He pushed open the door and was shocked by what he saw. A beautiful woman sat opposite Voldemorte, she wore a lot of black leather.

"Ah Severus, I am glad to see you." Voldemort said. Sev nodded in acknowledgement, all the while never taking his eyes of the woman. He recognised her but all his common sense told him that it couldn't be the person he thought it was. His lover was dead. It couldn't be Blade, but how he wished her to be. He wished for her every day, every night. The woman rose to her feet and faced Sev.

"Sev." She whispered. His gaze darted between the woman and his master.

"Severus, We have taken Azkaban, We have freed the prisoners. We freed Blade." Voldemort told him.

"In Azkaban?" he asked "but I checked the lists she wasn't on it." 'It isn't true, I wish it was. He's playing me. Why would he do this to me? I am his most faithful servant. He's a sadist but never to me, he's my lord, my master.' Thoughts were running thru Sev's head, he had seen too much. Had so much disappointment he always believed the worst. Blade gave a bitter laugh.

"Believe me I was in Azkaban, not something one would forget." Sev closed the distance between them; he raised his hand and stroked her cheek. He looked into her eyes, his lover's eyes. He needed to touch her, see if she was real, he had dreamt about this for so long. Sev felt a tear role down his face.

"Blade." He murmured. He wrapped her arms around her, as if afraid she would disappear.

"Sev, my love. I have come back to you." Voldemort watched the two with a smile on his face; His protégée and his daughter were made for each other. Together they were a formidable weapon one to be used to get rid of Harry Potter once and for all.

****************

"Lilith" Voldemort said to his daughter, taking her into his arms. He loved his daughter more than anyone could ever know; he was almost human when around her. Lilith's mother had died giving birth to her, but he had never held that against her. She was the light of his life. She lived with Muggles, it pained Voldemort to give her up to them, but it was too dangerous for her to stay with him, he wanted more than anything for her to be safe. But he made sure she always knew who her real family were. He visited her as often as she could; it was an easy matter to hide his presence from the muggles that looked after her. He taught her about magic, the dark arts and the wizard world. No one knew he even had a daughter and he wished it to stay that way he had plans for her, he hated to use his daughter but he knew that she would not mind. Her sharp intellect and mature look on life enforced Voldemort's belief that Lilith would do what was needed.

He kissed his daughter's forehead tenderly; she was the only person who ever saw this side of him.

"It is almost time for you to go to Hogwarts." She nodded. "I need you to help me while you are there."

"Father you know I would do anything for you. All you have to do is say it and it shall be done."

"I have an enemy at Hogwarts, the Grifindor heir. He needs to be destroyed. I need you to get close to him, to find out his weaknesses. But for this to be done you need to be in the same house as him. I have a way to fool the sorting hat, to make it put you into Grifindor. To make sure it does not recognise the Slytherin blood that flows through your veins." Her delicate knows curled up in disgust at the mention of Grifindor, she hated that lot with a passion.

"You know I hate the Grifindor's, but I will do it. I will be the perfect little Grifindor if that is what you need me to be." Lilith stated. Voldemort smiled and kissed her forehead again.

"I know you would have done wonders in Slytherin, it is in your blood to rule them all. One day you will come back to my side and be the Slytherin you are meant to be."

*****************

"Severus, I have a plan for you." Voldemort stated. His voice jolted the lovers' out of their tearful reunion. "You are to marry my daughter." Sev blanched, 'of course this would happen,' he thought to himself bitterly., trying to keep himself from falling apart as his world shattered once again. Sev didn't even question the fact that he never even knew Voldemort even had a daughter.

"My lord I know you know what is best but why do this to me." Sev bit out, each word forced, trying to sound neutral and failing miserably. He turned to his lover, who wore a massive grin. She put her mouth to his and kissed him deeply.

"Father, thank you." She said once she had broken of the kiss. Sev stared blankly at her, he had been on such an emotional Roller coaster the past 10 minutes he didn't know what to do anymore, he fell to his knees and broke down in hears. Blade knelt beside him; she took him into her arms.

"Shh, my love. We will be together forever now. My father will never let anything tear us apart." Sev raised his tear stained ace to hers.

"Never leave me again." He almost begged.

"Never" She promised. Voldemort looked on the two, silently. He almost felt bad about the way he had sprung this news on him, Severus was the only person other than Lilith who had even come close to gaining any affection from him.

"Lilith, Severus you may go now get reacquainted both of your rooms are as they were left." He said instructed almost kindly.
