Chapter 12

Harry, Severus, Lucius and Draco were in the kitchen when it happened. Severus hissed in pain and grabbed his arm. The next second Kade was standing beside him. "Severus?"

"I think it is time to meet our client..."

Kade looked at his father and brother and frowned. "I am sorry....I have a...meeting...to attend to. Don't expect me back to soon, I have to go to Dumbledore right after. Are you ready, Severus?"

"Yes." Severus said, frowning.

Kade sighed. "Remember Severus, when you get there...call Voldemort master until he tells you that you are mine. I am not sure if I was supposed to tell you or not." Severus nodded. They then put their wand up against Severus' mark and said, "APPARATE". They were gone.

Draco looked up at his father. "Well...here it goes." His father nodded and walked out of the room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kade and Severus soon arrived before the throne of Voldemort. His inner-circle was there standing around them. Kade stayed where he was while Severus went to bow and kiss his master's hems.

"Severus, my loyal servant, I have made a decision on your behalf. Stand." Severus stood. "Yes, master."

"Severus, I have acquired a new partner as I am sure you can guess, you will from now on be under HIS control. He can do with you what he wishes. Now hold out your marking." Severus held out his forearm and soon Voldemort's wand was pointed at it.

Voldemort's cold voice soon hissed. "ESMORDRE!" Harry saw Severus flinch in pain but he didn't scream. He knew better. Then, as suddenly as it began, it was done. "Mr. Malfoy, it is time for you to mark your servant."

"Okay."

Voldemort smiled. "Just think of the symbol you want and say 'Morsmordre'."

Harry smiled as Severus who nodded and walked to him. He pointed his wand at Severus' forearm and said, "Morsmordre". Severus flinched again and Harry could see his jaw clenching. Soon it was over and on Severus' forearm was a picture of a quill writing a K. Severus smiled slightly noticing that the quill's feather was a pheonix's.

"Master." He said, dropping to his knees. Voldemort smiled. "See...my death-eaters, that is how a servant should treat his master."

"Stand, Severus." Harry commanded. Severus stood. "Voldemort, let's get this business over with...I was in the middle of dinner when you called." Voldemort laughed out loud.

"Very well, Mr. Malfoy. All I want you to do is...ask your father for forgiveness and get back into the family." Voldemort said, smiling.

Kade nodded. "Very well. He has already asked for forgiveness, idiot. I suppose I will forgive him." Voldemort smiled, cruelly.

"Well...that is all. You may go. I will owl you a portkey next time you are supposed to come." Kade nodded and they apparated away.

Kade and Severus appeared in the living room. "HA!" Harry shouted. "He thought I was calling DAD the idiot!!!" Severus chuckled.

"Yes. He is that, master." Severus said with a teasing grin.

"SEVERUS SNAPE!" Harry shouted before chasing Severus around the room. Harry was about to get him when an owl flew into the room.

"DAMN! You just wait, SNAPE!" He then ran over and took the letter from the owl's outstretched leg. He smiled when he noticed Hermione's neat scrawl on the front.

~*~*~*~

Kade,

It's me! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? You could have been KILLED. You only take gifts from me if they are DIRECTLY from me! Dumbledore told me what happened though. It takes a lot to get something out of him!

Anyway, I will give you YOUR Christmas present back at school. Once again, I am very sorry about your mother. I will see you on the train.

Love,
Hermione

Severus laughed and Harry turned to see his potion's teacher jumping up and down chanting, "KADEN'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND! KADEN'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND! I'LL BE DAMNED, MY MASTER HAS A GIRLFRIEND!" Harry snarled and jumped up in pursuit once again of his "servant".

Severus screamed when the door he was about to run out of opened and Lucius was in the way. Harry came up behind Severus and grabbed his wrists. "THANKS DAD!"

Lucius smiled. "No problem, Kade. Severus, are you ever going to grow up! You are still acting like you are thirteen or something!"

"I RESENT THAT! I was thirteen just four years ago and I did NOT act like that!" Draco chimed in from behind Lucius.

Kade stuck his tongue out at his twin. "That's because you were BORING!"

"I WAS NOT!" Draco retorted.

"You were and STILL ARE!" Kade said, laughing.

Draco scowled and started to chase Kade. Lucius laughed. "I guess Kade was right, Draco still DOES act like a rambunctious thirteen year old!" Draco stopped immediately and puffed out his chest.

"I RESENT THAT!" The other three laughed. "Kade, you have no reason to laugh at me. I AM the better twin."

"How is that?" Harry asked through his laughter.

"I am better looking." Draco said proudly.

"THAT is a matter of OPINION! Besides we are almost identical. I am just taller, more buff, and I have better hair."

"FINE! I am more smarter than you!"

"Are you? Well...why are you saying 'more smarter'? And why did I get more O.W.L.'s than you?"

Draco's face fell. Then his eyes lit up. "I am a better flyer than you!"

Harry's eyes lit up. "PROVE IT!"

"Fine! COME ON!" The two boys raced out of the room.

Severus and Lucius smiled at each other. "They really are two of a kind." Severus muttered.

"That is true, my friend, so true." Lucius said with a laugh.

"Well Lucius, I believe it has been WAY too long since our last game of Wizard Chess."

"SEVERUS! You always beat me! I say we play exploding snap."

"My idea, my game!" Severus said.

"What about billiards?" Lucius suggested.

"How much a ball?" Severus said with a glint in his eye.

"20." Lucius said, smirking. Severus nodded.

"Very well."

Authors Note: Yes...I was stupid for not keeping saved copies of the Marauders: W.N.W. Sorry. But I have new ideas for a story. Please review with which you think I should do. Can't promise when first chapter will be out though.

1. A Severitus challenge. I haven't ever wrote a PURE Severitus Challenge piece. S.O.S. had Draco as a brother which doesn't count as Severitus in my book. If you choose this should he be switched houses? Befriend Draco?

2. Harry runs away to an American wizarding school. There he sees Draco who is hiding from Voldemort. They become friends.

3. James Potter never died and is sort of the Lucius Malfoy type. Harry finds out he is alive in his 6th year and has to learn the "high- society" way of life. He of course rebels and befriends some of the "wrong" sort. Namely Severus and Draco.
