Free To Fly Tonight
Chapter Eighteen

Granger sat tuning Treasure's acoustic guitar as Chris tuned her electrics, Ani tuned her bass and Phoenix warmed up on the drums. The four of them were getting ready to play for the ball.

"Remember the song list – Free to Fly, Smells Like Teen, One, In Demand, God Save Queen, Don't Stop Dancing, So In Love, Bad Day, Numb, Prison, Iris, Clocks, Black Balloon and So In Love," Chris said. "I made copies of the song list incase you all forgot."

"Sounds great, sis," Ani replied.

Chris took one of her electric guitars to Granger, "Here, Treasure, all tuned and ready."

Granger sat the acoustic aside, took the electric in her lap and struck a chord. "Perfect. Thanks, Chris."

Phoenix stopped banging on his drum set and inhaled deeply, "Man, I don't know about you all, but I feel so hyped up right now!"

"That's what you would call adrenaline," Ani told him. "Your hormone for a natural high!"

"Chris, Ani, do you think that you guys could conduct the initiation ceremony tonight," Granger asked. "Phoenix and I have a few things to tend to."

The two of them looked at each other and nodded. "Yeah Treasure, sure thing." Chris replied.

"Wonderful, thanks. He and I will be there at the beginning, but we will have to leave once things get started."

Headmistress McGonagall walked into the Great Hall and smiled at the band. "Ms. Snape, Everything here is looking good," she exclaimed. "I just need to know by what name I may introduce your band."

Granger smiled innocently. "Our band's name is Dark Lord's Dynasty."

Headmistress McGonagall raised her eyebrows, but merely nodded. "Very well, then. Carry on."

She left and the band began a run though of the show, beginning with Granger's acoustic version of "You Can Still Be Free" and ending with the cover of Texas' "I'm So In Love With You".

"Alright, that's a wrap," Granger exclaimed. "Be here at 7:30 and be ready to rock this place."

Treasure had dedicated the last twenty-two hours to roaming the place that Granger had confined her to. She thought it strange to think of it as her mind since she was obviously thinking for herself, hence, he mind was right where it was supposed to be – in her head.

She had experienced everything that had happened to her body – what unforgivable torture Granger had put her pure, good body through – and that alone made Treasure too scared to sleep. There was only one thing on her mind now – to escape.

"Come on Treasure," she muttered to herself as she entered a room that represented the Great Hall (though, was more bare than the actual one), "This is your mind for God sakes! You should know the way out!"

The music from the ball was pounding inside her head and in her own ears. She had been panicking since the beginning of the ball, but now she knew that she had to calm down and think. She took a seat at one of the benches and sighed.

"How could I have let this happen," she asked aloud. "Why did my friends follow Granger and become Death Eaters?"

It was then that she realized how much influence she had on her friends – how much they loved her and trusted her to do the right things and lead them down the right paths. This influence just made them follow her, or someone who seemed to be her, off the edge of a cliff. She was absolutely pissed off at herself and at Granger. As white-hot anger flowed through her veins, she stood up and turned the table that she was sitting at over.

"FUCK YOU, GRANGER!" Treasure screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed madly through the empty hall. With nothing to absorb the sound, it just echoed, blending the sounds of the three words until they were just a clump of sound. "I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY FRIENDS! YOU WILL NOT WIN! I WILL FIGHT YOU UNTIL THE DEATH…AND IF I GO, YOU ARE GOING WITH ME!"

The ringing of Treasure's screams rattled Granger's mind. She struck a bad chord and grabbed her head. Treasure continued to scream and the velocity of it all caused Granger to fall to her knees. Granger was unable to think clearly with all of the racket Treasure was causing. The band ended the song without the lead guitarist, and Phoenix rushed to her side.

"Treasure…Treasure, are you okay," he asked.

"I can't finish the concert," Granger whispered. "I need to lie down. Put Ani on lead guitar, she knows the songs. I am going to my room. After the concert, tell Chris to tell father that I will go down to the dungeons t speak with him at eleven-thirty. Have her tell mother that I wish not to speak with her."

"Is everything still going to go as planned," Phoenix asked her.

"Yes. We will all meet in the Room of Requirement No exceptions."

"Is everyone here?" Granger asked Ani as she slipped her mask on over her head.

Anistasia looked around and, after a minute, replied. "Yes, Treasure, they are all here."

"Excellent. Then we shall begin."

Granger stood before nearly forty loyal faces and smiled at the beginning of her dynasty. "You were all called here because you are trusted by my partners who selected you," she began saying to the group; its members were on one knee, bowing before her, their faces hidden by the hoods of their cloaks. "I see that many of you are from different houses. Here, Hogwarts houses are not how we value people. Loyalty is how we value people. With your loyalty, I can give you, in return, security and more power than you could ever imagine. 'How?' you ask yourselves. Simple. Its very simple that I may protect you, but how shall never be asked. All you need to know is that I am bringing back a dynasty that was killed long ago, and working for a cause – Lord Voldemort's cause." Granger turned to Ani and Chris and beckoned them forward. "Anistasia and Christina Riddle shall perform the initiation ceremony. Please pardon Phoenix and I – we have other work to attend to."

Granger and Phoenix swept out of the room and into the seventh floor corridor. Walking downstairs together, they whispered last minute instructions to each other, tightening up the odds ad ends.

"Treasure, promise me that you will be in your bed by midnight," Phoenix begged. "I don't want you to even be a suspect when an investigation on this arises."

"Don't worry about me," she muttered, "I am going to be with father – its you who is in most danger. As long as you don't confuse the Lord's wand with yours, and you hide it well afterwards, everything should go smoothly."

Phoenix nodded and kissed Granger passionately on the lips before they parted. Granger descended into the dungeons, reached Severus' door and entered the room, not bothering to knock. Severus' head didn't turn away from the fire as she entered the room and sprawled out on the couch. They were silent for several moments. Severus sat in his black, leather chair, and hadn't even acknowledged Granger's arrival until she finally spoke.

"It's a pleasure to see you again…Snape."

Severus winced and turned to her. "You have some nerve coming back here."

Granger grinned, stood, and circled the armchair. "Oh, did you not miss me?" She asked in a voice of mockery, and then chuckled. "I mean, how could you not? I was the best partner a fellow Death Eater could have."

"I was not a real Death Eater. Real Death Eater's serve those who give them the Mark. I stopped doing that long before you came along." He paused, but only for a moment. "And no, I can't have missed you, not after all that you almost took away from me – my child, my wife…everything that mattered to me."

"I didn't matter to you," Granger asked in a sweet voice.

"Not in the least," he spat, "and you don't matter to me now. Do you have any idea what this could do to Hermione if she knew this? That you were back, possessing our daughter's body?"

Granger grinned. "It would make her go insane." She replied in a just voice and walked to the fireplace. "Lemons, sliced and some salt," she ordered.

Severus seized the platter in a blink of an eye. "I forbid you to drink!"

She laughed and exclaimed, "I am not your daughter, Snape. I may do as I please. Now, kindly hand me my order before I am forced to hex you."

"You can't hex me," he said. "You have Treasure's body and Treasure's powers."

"Would you bet a bottle of tequila on that?" Granger raised her hand, summoned the tray and sent Severus flying back into his chair with a banishing charm. Smiling, she walked over to Severus' bar and grabbed hold of the tequila bottle. "You changed brands on me," she noted as she read the bottle. "Just as well…"

As Granger took a seat on the couch, Severus realized that he couldn't talk or stand. All her could do was watch the body of his daughter drink the tequila as he watched Hermione's body do in the past. After two shots, Granger smiled and lifted the silencing charm so Severus could speak.

"That wasn't so hard, now was it," she asked with a jolly smirk on her face.

"Why are you doing this to me," he demanded.

"This is my revenge,' she replied coolly. "I was screwed over in the past, and I wont allow for that to stand."

"Granger, revenge is not the purpose for which you were made," Severus exclaimed.

She replied with a cold, cruel laugh, downed another shot of tequila and exclaimed, "Yes, well, once a masterpiece takes on a mind of her own, much as I have, she can decide to change her 'purpose' anytime that she wishes."

"What do you want, Granger?"

"What do I want," she asked thoughtfully. "It is tempting to think – no, to know, that you would do anything to get your little Treasure back," she stood and walked over to Severus and mounted him.

"What are you doing," he asked with undeniable panic in his voice.

"Getting what I want."

Severus was still held back by the binding charm as Granger unbuttoned his collared shirt. He knew that the person acting was Granger, but all Severus could see was his Treasure.

"No, please stop!" He begged. "You didn't want me before, why this? Why now? Anything else but this!"

Granger smiled Treasure's sweet smile. "But you said that you would do anything, daddy," she reminded him innocently as she rubbed her hands over his smooth chest, "and I want this."

"No," Severus said as Granger took off her robes. "I can't give you this, not now, not ever and especially not in my daughter's body."

"I don't see what's stopping me from getting it."

Granger popped open the button of Severus' black pants and he cringed at the sound of the zipper being opened. He watched as Treasure's hands grasped his cock and stroked it, begging it to dance for her. Severus closed his eyes tightly and turned his head to one side.

"No! I wont allow you the pleasure of doing this to my daughter's body!"

Granger dropped his cock as she felt her head spin. As the clock struck midnight, she fainted as a show of green fireworks lit the sky outside.
