A/N: Please Read and Review! I'm not irritating myself so badly with the paragraph spacing-- a good thing, I suppose.
I have a mortal fear of lawyers. In the words of Twisted Sister,
"We're not going to take it", and I won't. I own nothing. If I did, I
wouldn't be here... *grimace*
Kind regards,

*~*~*~*~*~(F/B)*~*~*~*~*~
"You did what? Severus, are you
mad?" I was waving my arms animatedly in the air. "We haven't even
graduated from Hogwarts, and you do this? Where was your brain?!? I
can't believe it. Lift up your sleeve; I have to see this for myself."
He showed me a pale, bare, muscular
arm with the dark mark freshly emblazoned on it. "Now do you believe
me?"
"Severus, why? Perche? Eh? Give me a
good reason. You are so smart... Why did you do something so dumb? If
Dumbledore finds out, he's gonna shit!"
He eyed me with his 'I'm stupid?'
face, "I can always tell when you're upset because your English slips.
It's a helpful tool, really..."
"Don' e'en
play with me, fool!" I threw my Arithmancy book at him, hitting him square
in the stomach. I was furious...
"That hurt." He looked hurt too.
"You
thought that I, Milah Luciana Merverosa, would be proud that you joined that
organization? It was because of Lucius, wasn't it? Lucius did this and you had
to as well, right! Let me tell you that misery loves company... What were you
thinking, huh? Dios Mio, Sevi! (My G-d, Severus!) Am I supposed to simply overlook this? Ai!!
Why did you tell me?" I grabbed at my head. I was so furious that the room
was spinning.
Suddenly he looked like the boy that he was; a scared and alone
seventeen year old soldier who has just found himself on the wrong side of the
battlefield. "I told you because-" His voice cracked.
"because... I love you, and I wanted you to know. I didn't want to lie to
you Milah, because you're so important to me. I'd never lie to you, and I'd
never put you in danger without your knowledge."

"Albus, what's happened?" Severus bounded into the room. I was
completely aware of my surroundings, but I was trapped, a prisoner inside my
own body. Unable to move or make any form of contact with the outside world. I
felt him touch my forehead and put his ear to my chest. "It's the Gurth
Curse. I've seen it before... Albus, He's playing with her. He knows that she's
here."
"This may be true, and yet, it may not be. Let's move her."
Remus, Severus, and Albus proceeded to move my lifeless body from in front of
my bureau to my bed.
"Who? What are you talking about Snape?" He said Severus' name
with a little more malice than was intended. "What is he talking
about?" Remus was looking about desperately for answers.
"Remus, we have reason to believe that Milah is being used by Voldemort. Please, let us work with her. Excuse us everyone. Severus and I must confer-- In private." The room emptied, the door closing with a soft click, and the real show began.

A/N: What do you think?
I'll never know if you don't review... Even if it's short because it's the only
way I know that people are reading. Check out a picture of Milah on the link at
my author page. Check out my Live Journal too!
Keep reviewing! I love it when people comment... Makes me feel all warm and
fuzzy inside!
