A/N: Ahh, last chapter. I can feel a sense of satisfaction. Now I need tostart a new one along this same thread. Hmm, that could be a cool title. Er, anyhow, THIS part of the story is officially done, so y'all better be happy. 'Cause if you ain't, well then that isn't MY problem.

Gratuities:

Akki No Tenshi: Nope, THIS is the end. And I'm glad you can see Snape like I do.

Katie Scarlette: I hope you had a wonderful vacation! And don't burst! Here's the end(of this story), AND the secret!

lori: Good for you. The next story will make more sense if you read both.

tolazytosignin: Maybe next story

Tori: Maybe, and maaaaaaybe.

Story:
Secrets. Secrets upon secrets. I have had them for years, and keeping them has never been so hard. This secret is not a dark one, but possibly dangerous to them both. I am always in danger, so I forget to think of myself. Yet they are not so far apart, separarted by walls, secrets, and years of time.

And they are both the secrets dearest to my heart. I will not lose them, and so I must unite them. For their safety, and for my own peace of mind.

Peace of mind. . . An interesting phrase for a spy, and a former Death Eater. Do they- Lucius, Voldemort, and the rest- have any peace of mind? Do they sleep at night easily, or are they as haunted by dreams as I? Are they plagued with doubts about the right of their cause?

But they do not have what I do. They do not know for certain that there are still those who hold them dear to their hearts. Lucius must fear his own son. Fear replacement. Voldemort fears Harry and Dumbledore, and perhaps in a small way, myself. They all fear capture.

I give not to them any sympathy, for they are beyond salvation. Even though there are those who believe that God forgives all, if one looks closely at texts, God is as tempermental as myself. And I will not forgive them their sins. For they, as I have, and do, must live with their guilt.
