Severus stood up after he heard the door slam with Hermiones rapid departure, walking so he was directly behind Tom he tightly put a hand on his shoulder and bent down so he was whispering into his ear.

"Mr. Melanor I hope you have in mind exactly how this school deals with sexual harassment even when a Head boy is involved." His grip became tighter on the boy's shoulder hearing him wince with pain.

"And you should know how much the punishment intensifies when it is against a well respected student. Do you understand me young man?" Severus said with intense hatred lingering dangerously in his voice.

"Ahem." Dumbledore coughed getting their attention, Severus took his hand off the boy's shoulder and backed away, with sudden shock with the fact of how fast and silent Dumbledore could move for an old man. "Excuse me but I believe a trip to my office is in order Mr. Melanor.To discuss perhaps relieving you of certain obligations that Hogwarts only allows the best to have."

Severus watched in amusement as the boy instantly paled and his eyes grew wide with fear as he looked at Dumbledore, obviously thinking that nothing would happen to him. Dumbledore frowned at the boy and slowly shook his head he turned and walked out of the room and through the two large oak doors, gesturing for the frightened Tom to follow him. Severus watched as Dumbledore quickly lead him away, Severus slowly rubbed his face then ran his hands threw his hair; it had most defiantly been a long day.

Without finishing his dinner Severus stalked out of the room angrily with his black robes flowing behind him. Since every one was at dinner he would have an easy get away, luckily without having to pass any small whimpering little students in the halls. After walking by a very puzzled Nearly Headless Nick floating aimlessly in the air he reached the stairs descending to the dungeons.

He suddenly felt a sheering pain shoot up his forearm, grasping the railing to the staircase he closed his eyes in pain, "Not now!" he thought to himself. Pulling up the sleeves of his thick robes he saw the Dark Mark flaring to life sending a searing pain up his arm with every breath he took. The black skull seemed to smile up at him sardonically as if gleefully watching him raggedly gasp with pain. Clutching his arm he ran quickly down the steps to the dungeons so he could grab his death eater's mask. He felt the pain getting worse and he knew it would not go away until he was in the presence of that nasty beast Voldemort; it took all of his will power not to cry out in agony with the pain.

Finally after descending down several flights of stairs he reached the doors to his private chambers. Finding his mask and robes and drinking down a high in strength pain killing potion he took off back the way he had come. When he had reached the gates to Hogwarts after the long run he hastily apparated to Malfoy Manor.

He felt his body rise from the ground, opening his eyes he saw the world going by in a fuzzy blur and he felt his body being jerked in several different ways. He breathed a sigh of relief as his feet touched the soft earth underneath him. Looking up at the dark and dreary manor before him he felt as though the devil himself resided in this house, and ironically enough at the moment it did. * * * * * * * "Hullo there master may I take your coat?" the house elf offered a quivering hand to Severus as he stepped through the door. He looked down at the poor creature with its abnormal features and felt a soft pang of pity for it.

"No that's alright I'll keep it." With that the house elf pointed a shaky finger towards a dark hallway. Knowing the procedure Severus walked down the dark empty hall and towards the door that lead down to the basement were the horrific meetings were always held. He braced himself for the horrors he knew he would face down there. For the horrors he already had faced and memories of screaming women, children, and muggle men when it had almost been too much to bear.

Opening the old heavy wood door he began the long and dark descend to the deep underground basement. The sound of his boots clanging on the gray stone stairs echoed throughout the small and enclosed staircase. As he drew nearer to the stairs ending he felt the shooting pain in his arm reside and a serpent like voice speaking loudly.

"Gentlemen I would like to welcome you to this meeting as we have very important issues to attend to." He heard a murmur from the crown of masked dark men around him. Pulling his mask on he entered the room, "Ah Severus how nice of you to join us." Voldemort said sneering with his slanted eyes and serpent like nose, "Disgusting." Severus thought to himself, nodding his head and bowing he slipped silently into the large crowd.

"Our topic tonight is Harry Potter" Severus heard a whisper behind him saying, "Who else?" Voldemort continued, "The students will be taking their weekly trip to Hogsmead as most of you know. I believe this will be the perfect time to strike, yes I know that the grounds are guarded by aurors but with the aid of invisibility cloaks I believe it will be easy to slip past them." Voldemort grinned evilly. "I will select a few of you to do the job for me and explain details later but for the time being I have some.entertainment for you this evening, Lucius, bring in the little dirty muggles.

Severus saw the tall arrogant blond haired man go through a set of doors and yell a command. Three large men carried out three young muggle girls, they looked to be around 16 years old and wearing uniforms their eyes large with fear. Two of the girls had dark brown hair and one with vibrant red, their hands were bound tightly with ropes and they had bruises on their faces from being beaten. They trembled with fear but seemed to shocked with sudden fear to do anything, not knowing what their fates were. Until one of them started screaming and kicking furiously biting the man's arm that was holding her tightly.

The man grabbed the girl by her dark brown hair and pulled her off of him slapping her as she fell with a thud to the hard cold floor blood trickled down her forehead as she sat on the floor and cried. The other girls just as frightened as she started crying and shaking, Severus looked at them with horror in his dark eyes knowing the fate of the young girls. He clenched his fists tightly knowing there was nothing he could do to stop what was going on. Closing his eyes trying to shut out their screams as one of the men threw the girl to the feet of a death eater who kicked the girl and bent down towards her. "Please don't please, please.I'll kill you!" The girl cried helplessly and smacked the mad with her bound hands. The other two fainted realizing what was going to happen, falling to the floor as the death eaters came towards them.

"Let the games begin my children" Voldemort said with a mocking tone in his voice.

After the rapping and blood being spilt and when the death eaters had all of the fun they could have dreamed of for the night, Voldemort called his selected death eaters. That was to do the job of capturing Harry Potter for him.

"All of you may leave now except for Lucius Malfoy, Malakite Dredgor, Severus Snape, Sampson Goyle, and Theresa Mentizer." He beckoned them to follow him through the doors were the three girls had been held. Severus looked around the room; it was lighted with torches and had the same dampness that the whole basement held within it. In the center of the room there was a large table, he looked off to the side and saw a pile of ropes that had been cut and were lying loosely about the floor. Obviously where the muggles had been tied up he thought to himself.

"Now gentlemen and lady" He said nodding to Theresa, "I have made up a fool proof plan to finally capture our Harry Potter and put an abrupt end to his pathetic little life. In three days he and his little trio will be making their way to Hogsmead to have what small children call a 'fun' time. However we are going to intercept their plans, I want to have Lucius, Malakite, and Theresa enter each wearing an invisibility cloak. Now Severus you will volunteer to escort the children there and make sure no, oh shall we say 'hitches' get in the way. While you are supervising Potter and his little 'friends'" He stopped and lightly asked, "Now isn't one of them a mudblood girl?"

Severus noted Voldemort smile wickedly at him as Severus answered with a quick, "Yes, her name is Hermione Granger."

"Hmm, maybe we could take her along as well.serving as a good source of entertainment." Voldemort threw back his head and laughed. "Oh the joy of watching Potters face as his little 'girlfriend' is rapped and killed by my death eaters as he helplessly watches her scream in agony!"

Severus felt himself grow cold and shock arose in him. 'What the hell was I thinking?!' Severus cursed to himself, he had to find a way to fix this and make sure it doesn't happen; he somehow had to make amends. His thoughts were broken as Voldemort continued, "You Malfoy shall grab a hold of Potter and apparate directly here to me were I will be waiting, and you Malakite do the same with the little mudblood." Voldemort went on to tell the others their instructions as Severus faintly listened still trying to figure out how to stop all of this.

Finally after they all had their assignments he was able to apparate back to the safety of Hogwarts just outside the dark looming forbidden forest, "I'll just go speak with Dumbledore, he'll know precisely what to do." Severus sighed and quickened his pace, going to look for him.

Hermione woke up from sleeping in front of her book and went to look outside her enormous widow, just in time to see a dark cloaked figure approaching the castle. With his black cloak billowing behind him, resembling a large bat. Then sleepily drug herself back to her nice warm bed and promptly fell asleep without an idea of what was going to happen within a few short days.
