Part 3 - To the rescue
Brief guide- Harry's in trouble, someone has to come to his rescue.
*****************************************************************************************
Snape could do nothing but nod when Voldemort gave him, Lucius Malfoy and three others their instructions.
'Go get me Harry Potter'
Bloody brilliant thought Snape irritably, trying to keep his expression stone cold as they apperated to outside Harry's pathetic muggle house in pathetic bloody muggle Essex. With no way of telling Dumbledore and getting help he was on his own rescuing the 'boy who lived'. He shouldn't even have to be rescuing him, bloody Dumbledore should have realised the 'blood' magic was penetrable, bloody fool should have kept Potter at Hogwarts.
There was no use swearing to himself. It wasn't doing Potter any good and it was merely making himself more agitated.
Now he was going to have to give up his position as a spy to save Potter. He knew it would be more important to Dumbledore to save Potter so that's what he would do. Merlin knows what use he'd be to the order when he wasn't a spy but he had to save him. He could not let him die, he was important. Potter was the 'boy who lived' the only one who could kill the Dark Lord, if you believed the prophesy. Potter needed saving, he would save him.
His attention was brought back firmly on the task at hand when Malfoy knocked on the door.
"Why don't you just open it?" Snape said irritably
"I want to have some fun" leered Lucius "Give him a scare"
That answered that thought Snape to himself, stepping back and allowing Malfoy to happily blow the front door of its hinges. Lucius stepped in first and barked out instructions to them. Something about him searching upstairs and us searching down here, oh, and no killing Potter. That's nice thought Snape wearily, knowing full well that Potter was upstairs and Lucius would want to have some private fun with him first. Probably still bitter about that bloody house elf.
Snape went of to explore the kitchen so he could give Lucius a change to find Harry, then he'd have to act. He knew Lucius had to take Harry outside to apperate, it would be dangerous to do it in the house, so he knew he had some time to rescue the boy.
He glided over to the kitchen units and started eating one of the apples in the fruit bowl. He didn't really have any reason to apart from the fact it made him look very relaxed, an outward impression he wanted to give the other death eaters as they wandered around in the small downstairs.
After a couple of minutes he decided to make his move. He turned to Goyle and smirked.
"I'm going to go check on Lucius. Keep an eye on the door, just in case anyone decides to join us"
The fact that the door was lying in two pieces on the floor had crossed Snape's mind, but he didn't really care if Goyle in his stupidity stood there watching it intently.
As he was going up the stairs as quietly as possible he could here Lucius taunting the boy and threatening him. He glanced into Potter's room to find that he was pressed against the far wall with Lucius leaning towards him menacingly, wand pointed at Harry's throat.
"Oh yes," Lucius was saying "Our Lord will have fun with you"
"Afraid to say his name?" Harry spat back "How pathetic, you're just as bad as your son"
Lucius slammed him back into the wall again and Snape couldn't help but winse.
"You're Gryffindor bravery won't save you know Potter" Lucius said darkly.
"But if you're not careful someone else will" said Snape, sweeping into the room.
"You" shouted Harry, anger and betrayal clearly evident on his face.
"What?" asked Lucius irritably, ignoring Harry's anger.
"Our Lord said go get the Potter boy and bring him to me" said Snape coldly "Not make chit chat with him until help comes for him"
Lucius shoved Potter onto the floor between himself and Snape and glared at the Potions professor.
"Fine" Lucius muttered through clenched teeth, "Outside Potter"
"I feel lazy" said Harry coolly, "Why cant we go from here?"
Lucius ragged him up and flung him towards the door, giving Snape another angry glance before walking passed him and stopping in front of Potter.
"Because, Potter" he spat "Lord knows what Dumbledore may have up that protects apperating"
Lucius pushed Harry out the door and made to follow but Snape stopped him.
"Dumbledore has no spells here to protect him. Just me."
Lucius tried to react but Snape was to quick and disarmed him. Harry had turned and was watching Snape with interest.
"Traitor" Lucius spat bitterly "Spy"
"If you were one of my student's I'd give you ten points for observation" said Snape, amusement in his voice.
"However Lucius" he continued "You may have been better noticing slightly earlier, 20 years or so ago"
Lucius face filled with even more anger, if that was truly possible, and he tried to make a lucky dive for his wand which was a few feet away on the floor. He was not stopped by magic, but instead Snape's boot. In the head.
"That was pleasurable" said Snape as he picked up Lucius' wand and snapped it, "Come here Mr. Potter."
Harry looked at him uncertainly but he heard footsteps on the stairs and knew he had little choice. He grabbed Snapes outstretched hand and found himself being whisked away. It was a weird feeling, like being pulled and spun at the same time. A feeling he very much represented with the Tri-Wizard tornament and Cedric's death.
When the sensation stopped he felt dizzy and found himself being sat down on a comfy seat. He closed his eyes and relaxed and it took him a few seconds to get everything into focus. When he did he looked up to see Snape standing in front of him, looking unbothered by the ride.
"Portkey" explained Snape, waving a little black box with a button on it at Harry.
"Ah" Harry said quietly, getting to his feet and stretching. He glanced round at his surroundings, it was not familiar to him, he was not in Hogwarts.
The room he was in was large, probably a living room, with tan and cream coloured walls, lots of mahogany wood, a thick cream carpet and a large fireplace. There was a mahogany coffee table and two large cream, leather couches in the centre of the room, one of which he'd just been sitting on. The walls had a few paintings on, all landscape art.
"Nice" said Harry, turning to Snape "Very homely, where are we?"
Snape had turned away from Harry and was taking of his death eater robes, revealing normal black ones. Snape whistled, which made Harry jump slightly. he jumped again when a house elf appeared next to Snape.
"Burn these" Snape instructed, throwing them to the house elf, the elf looked thouroughly confused.
"I wont be needing them anymore" Snape said in an explanitory tone.
"Master has been found out?" said the elf, worry crossing its little features.
"Yes, but i'm fine" said Snape calmly "Go burn them"
The house elf vanished and Snape turned back to Harry, he looked calm although a little amused. Suddenly what had just been said hit Harry.
"Master" he repeated, dawning on where he was.
"Welcome to Snape Manor" said Snape, seeming unmoved by the situation.
"Oh" said Harry slowly "Decor's nicer that I'd have expected."
