Baby Psycho:
Hey, hope you like this chapter. I decided to write Harry into the story. If you like him I will make him one of the main characters, otherwise he'll be like Hermoine, a side character. So please tell me.
I don't own Harry Potter and the wizarding world. If you do, then you're my BEST friend. (Miguela, don't tell Jan or Kristie, and please don't kill me)

A Death In The Family
Chapter 4
^ ^ ^
Severus Snape was a Death Eater. He was also supposed to be a spy for the powerful wizard Albus Dumbledore. Lucius had known this since the day Severus turned, he had even helped to convince him to change. The decision had been made, not by the feeling of remorse or guilt, but because it offered protection.
Lucuis had known about Voldemort's coming downfall, and had told Severus to get out while still possible. Turning to the Light side would mean that there would be no inquiry or Azkaban sentence once Voldemort was gone. They hadn't counted on the spell rebounding and not killing him fully.
^ ^ ^
The dark mark did not tingle when it was called. It started as a dull throb, but if the call was ignored the pain would increase, until the person could no longer stand it. Lucius might not think highly of most half bloods, but he had to admit that the Dark Mark was a wonderful invention.
The pain that Severus felt was overwhelming. It had spread up his arm and had consumed his whole body. It wasn't very noticeable that he was in pain, apart from the fidgeting. Everyone who knew Severus Snape also knew that he didn't fidget for many reasons. This is why Lucius had set aside his book and was staring at Severus with a mixture of concern and amusement. Deciding that it was time to make his move Lucius began speaking.
" It is time to make a decision Severus Snape. You may choose to return to the wizard known as Voldemort. Or you may stay by my side," he gestured towards Draco, " our side and reclaim the title you lost when you associated with the Death Eaters. The choice is your's my friend."
The dark haired man sat silently for a few moments before turning to Lucius and giving his reply. No words were needed, they both knew where his alliance lay. Snape would follow Malfoy until the death. That was how it had always been and how it would continue to be. Coming as close to a smile he was allowed, Draco watched as his father and Severus came to a silent agreement.
^ ^ ^
The father now turned to the son. " You know that we must leave this place at once. It shall be dangerous to linger here now that Voldemort knows of our public denouncement." Draco nodded, this move would not be taken lightly. The name Malfoy held a great deal of power. Not only were they the richest family, but they were also the oldest wizarding family in England. To many people this was more important than anything else was. If both the Malfoy and Snape family stopped supporting Voldemort, wizards everywhere would be influenced.
Lucius left them with these thoughts. By the time he returned they would have come up with a plan of action and plotted out the fine details. Meanwhile, he had a fair amount of work to do, and he had a meeting with Headmaster Dumbledore.
^ ^ ^
Harry had changed into a different person over the two years since the Triwizard Tournament. He no longer believed that the world was black and white, he knew the world was made from shades of grey. The tight friendship he had once shared with Ron and Hermoine had changed as well. Not that they had noticed, they still spent all their spare time around him. Harry had stopped thinking about his parent's death. Death was something that happened to many people, they had been unfortunate enough to get caught in a fight that was above their heads.
He waited, frozen to the spot, as Lucius Malfoy walked past him. Harry had wanted to know more, he wasn't too sure about what it was he wanted to know though. So he had followed Draco in off the quidditch pitch, he had seen the encounter with Hermoine. He had seen the whole encounter from under his invisibility cloak. He understood most of what had been said, and this frightened him. Maybe he was more Slytherin than he liked to think.
Harry turned and fled to the Gryffindor tower. He had some thinking to do. Maybe he would approach Draco tomorrow, he needed to tell someone this. Someone who wasn't a Gryffindor, they wouldn't understand what he was talking about. Harry's life had once again turned itself upside down.
^ ^ ^
Inside the office two of the greatest strategical minds were hard at work. They had both come up with many good plans, but none of them had been right. The flaws were too open, there were too many loopholes that Voldemort could use to his advantage.
Severus had taken his mind off the pain. It was still there, throbbing deep inside his soul, but times like these required sacrifices and putting his personal comfort on the line was one he had to make. Draco had volunteered to go into the dungeons and brew him a painless potion, but Severus had refused. It would take both their minds off the situation.
He knew that Potter had been in the office with them. All three had sensed him entering, but the boy wanted to know the truth. The truth about his fight, whether he was being used as a tool to keep the school safe, or whether they valued him. They respected Potter enough to let him know the truth.
^ ^ ^
Lucius knew exactly where the Headmaster's office was, he also knew the password he needed to activate the staircase. It paid off to keep tabs on all the happenings of the school. He waited as the staircase slowly wound itself up. He stepped into the office. It was still the same as he remembered from his school days. Not that he had ever gotten caught and sent here. Being Head Boy meant you had some responsibilities in dealing with professors.
Sitting down on the chair in front of the desk, Lucius helped himself to a Lemon Drop. Without looking up at the old man entering the room, he said " Professor Dumbledore, it is time that you and I had a talk."

Thank you for reading my story. I hope you enjoyed it, please tell me if you would like Harry to be a feature in my story. He would be a sort of dark Harry.
