Severus left Snape Estate and strode to the boundaries of his land. Once he got to
the thick forest surrounding his house he apparated. When he arrived at Malfoy
Mansion he calmed his nervous thoughts by thinking about how his house would be
perfect when he arrived home.
Except Starr won't be there. He couldn't help thinking about her. After he had
sorted through his room he had a crying jag. He had thrown the velvet box, with its
contents still inside, against the wall. It had sprung open to taunt him. Severus tried
to stop thinking about Starr, about that blasted ring, about anything, but it was to no
avail. Little thoughts kept poking up in his head.
He was walking along the same path Starr and Narcissa had flown down yesterday.
She is so beautiful. Severus shoved all thoughts from his head as he entered the
dinning room. He had arrived just on time.
The same charm floated above the chairs, and Severus noted with panic that he was
seated in the same place, directly across from Starr. Damn them all! Severus walked
over to his place and started conversing with Avery about the latest Muggle killings.
Suddenly, a hush fell over the room. Lord Voldemort was approaching.
Everyone quickly found and stood by their chairs, turning only their heads to look at the approaching four people. Lucius and
Narcissa were the first couple. They walked into the room with their heads held high, nodding to everyone. As the second couple
passed into the light,
Severus had to restrain a gasp. Lord Voldemort and Starr walked into the room, arm
in arm.
She looked beautiful. Her dress made every curve of her body seem perfect, and she
had more than half of her cleavage pushed up and showing. Avery, who was right
beside Severus leaned over to him and whispered. ''Look at her! I'd bet anything she
is great in bed! Oh, and look at her tits!'
The two couples stopped in front of the table. Lucius led Narcissa to her chair
before returning to his own, as did Lord Voldemort. Narcissa and Starr sat down,
smiling at each other.
Lord Voldemort sat down in his seat, and everyone else did the same after he had
been seated. The food appeared and everyone began eating, but only after the Dark
Lord had taken the first bite.
Starr had troubles eating again, but she put up a good front by moving the food
around her plate and putting the fork to her mouth the moment someone started to
talk to her, so she would be forced to put it back down.
Lucius was at it again, his foot was massaging her upper and inner thigh. Starr had
decided not to put up with it from now on, though. Won't he be in for a surprise!
She thought to herself. She almost felt like cackling! The dessert came and this
time Starr felt like eating, German Chocolate Cake!
Once all the plates had been cleared and the Dark Lord was about to stand, Lucius
was slowly removing his foot. Starr hadn't shown any resistance yet tonight but as
Lucius made the first move to take his foot out, Starr squeezed her legs together
tight.
She kept squeezing until she, and half of the table, heard a loud crack. Lucius tried
to control the grimace that was coming onto his face, and managed to control
himself by taking a large drink of his brandy.
The Dark Lord stood, and motioned for Lucius to join him. Lucius pulled himself
out of his chair with great difficulty and, using the table to support him, took the
few steps needed to be next to the Dark Lord, cursing Starr in thoughts.
''Today will be a glorious day for all present.' The Dark Lord looked around at the
people present, then continued. ''You are my most trusted, most valuable Death
Eaters.'
''I am today assigning you positions, depending on seniority, trustworthiness, how
well you work, and what you are good at. Please join me in Lucius' study after
dinner. You will be told of your appointment there.' He nodded his head once, then,
almost as if he had forgotten something, he added a quick note. ''Oh, you are
separate from the other Death Eaters now. You are the Twelve of the Table now.'
With that he swept out of the room, with Starr on his arm once again, and Lucius
and Narcissa trailing behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone began talking the moment He left the room, everyone except Severus.
How did this happen?! He thought. Avery came over and slapped Severus on the
back. ''Get up buddy! We have to go find out what position we have! Wouldn't
mind having that hot piece of ass as my secretary, but I bet Lord Voldemort has
other plans for her, if you know what I mean!' Avery walked away, laughing to
himself.
Severus felt like kicking something. That little bastard, I'll teach him what happens
when you... He sighed. She isn't mine anymore, so it doesn't matter. He followed
the others to the study.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starr allowed herself to be swept to the study by Lord Voldemort. She almost
enjoyed the idea of being his arm candy, but then thought of Severus and wished
she were his arm candy instead of Lord Voldemort's.
But He is such a gentleman. Starr thought as he set her on a plush settee. The other
Death Eaters slowly filed into the room. Narcissa came over to sit next to Starr and
they began talking excitedly about what would happen next.
Once all the Death Eaters were in the room, Lord Voldemort raised his hands to
silence them. ''Lucius Malfoy is my second and Head of Muggle Relations. If you
have any problems you go to Lucius.' A small amount of laughter was heard from
the back of the group at Lucius' new title. ''Snape, you are Head of Wizard
Relations. Avery, you are Head of Ministry Relations. Nott, you are Head of
Recruits.'
The list went on. Starr's name was never called. Finally, Lord Voldemort was done.
''Will Lucius and Starr stay behind. I need a word with you.' Lord Voldemort
motioned for the others to leave.
Severus didn't look over his shoulder as he left, but he had to almost physically
restrain himself from doing so. He wanted to see Starr, he hadn't looked at her all
dinner and it was killing him. But he let himself be pushed with the tide of people
out the door and to the Apparation area, outside of Malfoy Mansion. He apparated
home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starr and Lucius walked over to the Dark Lord and waited. Once everyone had left
The Dark Lord motioned for them to sit down on the settee. They did so, but Lord
Voldemort still didn't say anything.
''My Lord,' Lucius spoke first, ''Is there anything you wish to tell us?'
The Dark Lord snapped his head away from the fireplace, where he had been
gazing for a few minuets. ''Yes. Starr, you are will be Lucius' Second. You ill work
for him and with him and if anything should happen to him you will take over his
position.'
Starr gasped and turned pale. ''My Lord, I am happy to do whatever you chose.' She
was truly stunned by this.
''You have only been with us for a day, and yet I know you will go far. After all,
you are Strega.' Lord Voldemort turned to see her reaction, and Lucius', to this.
''Yes I am, my Lord.' Starr didn't know how He knew this, but He did, and now so
did Lucius.
''We need Strega on our team, and you will be perfect. I thank you for helping us,
Starr.' The Dark Lord walked over to Starr, kissed her on the cheek and then went
back to gazing at the fireplace.
''You may go now. But Starr,' She turned and looked at the Dark Lord, waiting for
something more. ''I would like you to stay here overnight. I think it would be
good...yes, it would be. Lucius, go find her a room.'
''Yes, My Lord.' Starr allowed Lucius to lead her from the study.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''So, you are Strega.' Lucius was looking at Starr carefully now. They were walking
down a hallway. Lucius was leading Starr to an available room, but this hallway
looked nothing like the one that led to her old room.
''Yes I am. Is that a problem?' Starr looked at Lucius, almost challenging him.
''I wouldn't smart mouth me, girl.' he almost spat the last word. ''The only thing I
have a problem with is you breaking my toe at dinner.'
''What, you couldn't fix it?' Starr almost laughed, but thought better of it and settled
for a smirk.
''Of course I could, and did!' Lucius replied indignantly. ''But it hurt like hell!'
''Oh, the poor baby. Do you want your mommy?' Starr taunted him, even though
the looks he was sending her told her to keep her mouth shut.
''I would watch what you say. Strega or no, I wouldn't want you to say anything that
might get you in trouble.' His eyes flashed and Starr knew that if she went any
farther, it wouldn't be just words next time.
But, I can't let Lucius think I am afraid of his threats! I have to let him know that
you don't treat a lady like that! Starr was fuming, bur kept her silence.
''I am glad you know when you are over powered.' Lucius sneered. ''It will help you
in the long run.'
Starr stopped walking and turned to look at Lucius. ''I am not overpowered. You are
a slimy git and I just don't feel like dealing with you tonight!' She began walking
again, but he didn't follow her.
''Slimy git, eh?' Lucius strode over to her and grabbed her by the arm. ''Well, this
slimy git won't let some up-start Strega bitch talk to me like that.'
Starr was stunned. She had used her Strega voice on Lucius and it hadn't made him
leave her alone! He should have just stood there, but now he was advancing on her,
with a look in his eye that made Starr shudder and back away hastily.
''If you so much as lay a finger on me I'll...I'll...' Starr couldn't think of anything
she could possibly do, and the look in Lucius' eyes told her that he knew it too.
He continued walking towards her, as she backed away from him, but his legs were
longer than hers and he soon he had her against a wall. He hadn't touched her, yet,
but he certainly was threatening to.
Figuring it couldn't hurt to try again, Starr gathered up all her strength and began to
talk in her Strega voice. ''Lucius, leave me alone. Back away from me, and never
touch me again!' Her voice cracked with emotion, but it didn't stop Lucius. On the
contrary, it seemed to make him stronger. Almost as if he was absorbing my
energy!
He laughed at her then wrapped his arms around her waist. ''If you think that your
little Strega tricks are going to work on me, you are sadly mistaken.'
Starr tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp, but it proved futile. She reached for
her wand, but before she had even so much as moved a finger Lucius began
laughing. He had his wand to her throat.
''Let go of me you bastard!'
''No use insulting my mother!'
''You know what I meant! Now, let go of me before-'
''Before you cry? Oh no, Starr is scared...What ever shall we do?' Lucius laughed
and began to unbutton her gown.
''Leave me alone!' Her voice was shaking now, showing just how scared she was.
Her Strega powers weren't working! What are they good for, unless I can get out of
situations like this?! She slapped Lucius' hands and prayed to the Goddess for a
miracle.
Lucius had her buttons all done and was starting to take off her dress when Starr
got an idea. ''Lucius, what if someone comes down this corridor? We should go into
a room.'
Lucius put his hands down and looked at Starr. ''Will you be cooperative if we do?'
''Of course! I just don't like to have sex out in the open!' Starr shuddered as he led
her into the nearest bedroom. It's too bad I actually have to play along for a while.
I am going to need a very long bath after this.
Lucius closed the door and walked over to where Starr was standing. ''If you try
anything-'
''Don't worry. I have just been playing hard to get...' Starr put her arms around his
neck and pulled him down onto the bed. ''Just relax...You know you want this...'
He slid off the rest of her dress and began tracing circles over her body. Starr began
taking off his robes very hurriedly. His mouth was on her nipples when she struck.
Starr had been touching his large warmth when she decided it was time. She
grasped it in her hands. Lucius, totally oblivious to what was about to happen, made
a sound of pleasure, which quickly turned to a cry of pain.
Starr dug her long finger nails into him, and then twisted. He screamed out as she
started raking her nails across it. Then she slapped him and grabbed her clothing.
''That, Lucius, is what you get when you trust Strega! And that is what you get
when you hurt a woman!' She stalked out of the room, hoping t Merlin that he had
heard her words through his pain. Smirking as she put on her clothing, she left the
house and apparated home.

Authors note:
Well? Do you like it? I really felt like Lucius needed to learn his lesson, not that he
is done putting the moves on Starr, they are working together now.
If you are lost on the whole Strega thing you must read Pawn to Queen by Riley. I
truly love the story, even though there hasn't been a new chapter in a long time, but
it is a great story, and I recommend that everyone go and read it!
Please review, it really makes my day better to see that someone has reviewed.
