*sighs * The final chapter to my story. I don't think anyone likes my
Snape/Lucius, Snape/Gilderoy pairings. This chapter was just to round
things up and put an end to the story. Thank you for those who stuck with
me and liked my story.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Gilderoy didn't even have time to stand up before the people let themselves in.
Gilderoy acted pleasantly surprised to see Fudge and one of his little assistances.
"Why hello!" He said enthusiastically, walking over to shake Fudge's hand. "How are things going at the Ministry?"
"Not so good. . ." He started.
"Well for heaven's sake, why not? Today is such a wonderful day!" Gilderoy said, plopping down in the chair at his desk and propping his feet on his desk.
"Not everyone shares your enthusiasm. Last night there was a horrible accident, whether purposefully or not, but eleven people died."
"What?! That's awful! What happened??" Gilderoy asked, jumping up out of his chair again.
"Something or someone set fire to Lucius Malfoy's house, killing him and ten of his servants."
"Oh dear. . ."Gilderoy said, slowly sitting down in his chair. "Do you have any suspects?"
"So far, just one. Severus Snape. But the only evidence we have is his hall masters brooch, which was found outside the Malfoy's house."
"Well that's something. . . Snape? But why. . .?" He pondered to himself.
"He's currently at a holding cell at Azkaban, unless we find some evidence that proves he's innocent. . ."
"Azkaban? Isn't that a little extreme?" He asked, pretending to be worried.
"This is a very serious matter, and we want to keep him secure if he is the murderer."
"Ahh. . . Makes sense I guess. But you know. . . now that I think about it, I do remember seeing them meeting frequently in his potions room. And just yesterday afternoon, I was on my way to an interview and I heard them screaming at each other. Do you think that could have been what made him do it?"
"Hold on a moment, we aren't sure just yet if it was him who did it. I mean, for all anyone knows, you could have done it just as easily as he."
Gilderoy laughed. "Me? Oh dear no!" He laighed again, but stopped at the serious look Fudge was giving him. "Oh, ah. . . ahem. Yeah. Well, last night I was answering my fanmail all night," he said, directing Fudge's attention to the large pile of 'Answered' letters, which was so high it was on the verge of falling over.
"Ah. I guess you had a busy night then."
"That I did," Gilderoy said. He stood up and shook Fudge's hand and watched as he left.
He grinned to himself. /Maybe I should pay a visit to everyone's favorite potions master./

"Severus Snape. You have a visitor," a guard said, opening the door.
Severus looked up to see Gilderoy, not dressed in his traditional gold and red, but all black.
"You. . .!" Try as he might, Severus was too weak to stand.
"Yes, me," Gilderoy gave him his most ruthless smile. "Were you expecting someone else? Another lover perhaps?"
Severus winced.
"It seems like you've been convicted of murder. Someone overheard a heated argument between you and Lucius just a few hours before his death. That's such a shame."
"So it was you. . . I should have guessed that. I'm sorry I hurt you. . . I'm sorry for everything. . ."
"Well that's all peachy keen, but that doesn't change anything," Gilderoy snapped. "You're sorry NOW, but what about when you were sucking face with that whore? How would -you- feel if you walked into a room to see that?"
Severus sighed.
"Yeah, you should feel bad," he knocked on the door. "I hope you enjoy your stay here," and with that, he turned and walked out of Severus's life for good.
Sitting alone in the cold, dark cell, Severus cried. He knew the Deatheaters guarding the prison would drive him mad eventually. He cried over his loss of his love, over the lives that were taken because of his selfish decisions. He cried because he knew he was as good as dead. He cried, because he knew he deserved it.
Gilderoy was the last person to ever see Severus again. Barely a month after he was sent there, the guilt of what he did, and the Deatheaters drove him mad.
~The End~
AN: So, in the beginning of the chapter, I finally managed to get Gilderoy perky again. Short lasted, eh? ^_~ Sorry to all the Snape and Lucius fans. I love them both dearly, but. . . Gilderoy shall rule all. XD
