Jaci looked up at Severus, puzzled at what just happened. By the look in his eyes, he didn't understand what happened either. She sighed and walked over to Kristie. "What happened?" Kristie looked at her.
"I was just about to ask you the same," Kristie said. Jaci sighed.
"Could you find out and tell me tomorrow?" Jaci said.
"Why not tonight? I could meet you back here."
Jaci glanced up at Severus. "I…I have plans. Just tell me tomorrow." Kristie nodded.
Jaci walked off. She smiled as she felt someone's eyes on her and she knew it had to be Severus. She walked to her quarters and began making him a drink. When he walked on. Jaci smiled.
"Hello," he growled into her. Jaci smiled. She turned.
"Do you know why Becca and Harry are fighting?" Severus' face turned hard.
"No," he said. Jaci sighed. Everytime she mentioned Harry, Ron, or Hermione, Severus would get a look of pure venom in his eye.
"Why do you hate them Severus?" Jaci asked, wrapping her arms around his neck, forcing him to look at her.
"Who are you…."
"You know very well whom I'm talking about Severus Snape, so don't' you start on that." Severus glared at her for a few seconds. Then he sighed.
He moved away from her and sat on her couch. Jaci moved to sit next to him to him, when there came a knock on the door. Jaci froze. Severus looked up at her urgently. "Go into the bedroom. Here take your things and your glass." Jaci nodded. Severus helped her take her things to the bedroom. Jaci sat on the bed, the curtains pulled shut tight. She heard Severus open the door.
"Hello, Severus. I hope I'm not disturbing you," Jaci heard Albus Dumbledore say.
"Of course not headmaster, please come in," Severus said, leading Dumbledore in. "Would you like something to drink, headmaster?"
"No, Severus, I'm afraid I do not come with good news."
"Is it about HIM?" Dumbledore sighed and nodded. Severus felt his face go pale. "What…what do I have to do, headmaster?" Dumbledore sighed again.
"You have to go to Voldemort again. We need you to spy again Severus. We need to know his next moves." Severus nodded.
"I will go to him tomorrow, headmaster. I will not fail you." Dumbledore hugged Severus.
"Take care old friend, and make sure that you tell everyone dear to you of your plans," Dumbledore said, eyeing the door that led to Severus' room. Severus nodded.
"Good day, headmaster, and I will take care." With that Dumbledore walked out. Severus sighed.
Jaci couldn't move. Severus, going to Voldemort? At first Jaci and her family hadn't known much about Voldemort, since her parents didn't tell them until they had gotten their letters, and then not even they had known a lot about Voldemort, because it had mainly surrounded England, not America.
He's going to him? But, but then that means he's a Death Eater? Severus walked into the room.
"Jaci?" he said. He pulled back the curtains to look for her. He found her there, sitting on the bed, shocked. Severus sighed. "I guess you heard."
Jaci took a deep shaky breath, and nodded. "You're a Death Eater? I…I thought that was just a tattoo, like the ones we get in the muggle world." Jaci took his left arm and rolled the sleeve back, exposing the mark. "I didn't know it was the mark." Jaci looked up at him, with tears in her eyes.
"Jaci, please let me explain," he said. Jaci shook her head.
"No, Severus, I don't want to hear it," Jaci said, getting off the bed. She turned to look at him. "So that's why you hate them huh?"
"No, Jaci, please." Severus grabbed her by the arm. "Let me explain."
"No, Severus, I don't want to."
"Damn it! Would you bloody listen to me?" Severus pulled her roughly to him. "You need to know in case, in case I don't come back."
Jaci looked up at him. "What do you mean by that?"
Severus sighed. "Jaci I was a Death Eater, but soon I realized that I didn't want to do that anymore. I didn't' want to hurt people, just because they were not magical, so I turned myself in to Dumbledore, and I stayed as a spy. I don't hate Granger, Weasley, and Potter because I'm a Death Eater. I dislike them for different reasons."
"Wait, wait. Let me take this all in." Jaci sat down on the bed with a hand on her head. She took in deep breaths. Soon she heard Severus curse.
"Babe, don't' pass out. Remember your blood pressure." Severus took her into his arms, and held her gently. Jaci continued to take deep breaths until she calmed down.
"Severus what do you mean in case you don't come back?" Jaci asked after being quiet for a while. Severus sighed.
"Jaci, Voldemort isn't a person who will take people back with open arms. The last time I went to him, I came back badly hurt. I stayed in the hospital wing for a week. I don't know what will happen this time." Jaci saw something in Severus' eyes she had never seen before, fear. She wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"I don't' want you to go."
"I know darling, but I must. Dumbledore needs me to go."
"And I need you to stay Severus." Jaci began to kiss his neck. Severus groaned, and pulled back.
"I'll come back to you, Jaci one way or another I promise. Even if I don't come back with my body, only as a memory in your dreams. Remember Jaci, that I love you and I'll always be with you."
Jaci nodded, as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
Becca looked up as Kristie walked in. "What's wrong?" Kristie asked. Becca sighed and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know, and I don't care if I never see Harry again! Now please Kristie, I know you mean well, but leave me alone." Becca buried her herself back under her blanket. She didn't know what was going on with Harry, but she didn't care if he didn't want to be with her, then fine!
Kristie sighed as she closed the door to the room. She placed a hand on her stomach, where her now three month old baby was. She leaned against the door and closed her eyes.
When am I gonna tell Draco? She groaned and went to her room.
Jaci tried not to cry as she held onto Severus. "I leave in the morning," he said into her ear. Jaci took a deep breath and nodded.
"I know," she answered. Severus leaned down and gently kissed her. He looked into her eyes deeply.
"Will you stay with me tonight? Will you let me love you again?" Jaci nodded. Severus pulled her back into his arms, and kissed her again.
Jaci tried not to cry at how tender and gentle it was that night and how before she fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, she heard Severus say, "I love you."
She awoke alone, searched but did not find him. She cried alone, because she knew he had gone, gone without a kiss, without reassurance. She cried because she did not know if she would ever see him again.
