The Love of One Woman

Chapter 13

Devil's Den


***

Severus Snape couldn't believe his eyes. He was staring at the plain, dirty face of Harry Potter. But no longer were the kind, warm eyes that had been his mother's could be seen. They were replaced with deep red eyes that looked as if they could rip out your soul with a mere glance.

"By the gods, Potter..." Snape gasped. "What have you done?"

"I've found the better side of things, Snape." Potter replied icily. "The Dark one has accepted me, and soon we will become one. As it was always destined to be."

"But why?" Snape tried to reason, as his thoughts were spinning a hundred different ways, all at once. "Hermione will be devestated. How could you betray her like this? Above all else, I thought you two were at least friends. I guess I was right about you, Potter, all along." Snape sneered.

Lucius then punched Severus in the stomach, hard, and Snape fell to his knee's.

"You will not speak with his lordship in this way." Lucius hissed evily. "You will pay for your disrespect, you mudblood loving slime!"

Potter then glared at Lucius. He looked as if he was about to take out on him what he thought of his mudblood insult, as Harry's mother Lily had been born to magicless parents, and Harry had went on to marry Hermione Granger, who was also a daughter of a non-magic couple. But Voldermort had won out and Potter laughed along with Malfoy.

"Ah, yes, my mudblood little whore of a wife." Potter sneered, his eyes glaring wickedly, as he considered Harry's pretty much estranged Wife. "She's is a powerful Witch. She will be an acceptable mate in order to bring about my new heir. No one will have to know that she was a mudblood. -Tell me, Severus, how has my little wife been in the sack? From what I've understood, you've been screwing her every chance you've been given since she went back to Hogwarts."

"You pig!" Severus scowled, forcing himself up to his feet. "You have no idea of what kind of woman she is. Hermione is as unworthy of you, as she was unworthy of Potter. She deserves so much more than either of you!"

Potter smacked his face hard with a firm slap. It made him stumble again but he managed to keep his footing.

Severus spat in his face before the next blow came. It rocked his rib cage as the firm solid foot cracked about a full row of ribs. He cried out softly and clutched at his sides.

But he still did not fall down.

"I'm going to kill you, you know." Harry Potter sneered furiously in his face.

"I know." Severus managed, sounding his best to be brave as his Hermione would in his place, before the next blow sent blood pooring out of his mouth.

Seconds later, everything went black.
