Sorry this took so long coming out

--Christmas Ball—

The next two weeks passed normally. Meetings were called every other day. Most were with just the inner circle. Right now however was time for fun. It was time for the Death Eater ball. The men were allowed to bring their wives and in some cases their children. Others brought their playthings for the day, week, or month. Blade and Severus were in a corner talking and kissing every now and then. The initiate from two weeks ago was by the table drinking a Butterbeer. However he spit out his drink when Shadow walked in. It wasn't because the blood red dress she was wearing was revealing but rather her face. She was here. Shadow spotted him and her eyes were immediately tinted red. Shadow made her way over to him, her fury almost palpable.
Blade looked ver to see Shadow enter and her eyes change red. 'Uh oh,' Blade thought and excused himself to go do damage control. He intercepted Shadow, "It's so great to see you, you look great Shadow." Shadow looked at Blade and sneered. "Do you have any idea who he is?" Blade looked behind him and said, "No care to inform me?" "That's Dumbledore's grandson." Shadow growled. Blade stepped aside and whispered, "Have fun." "Oh I will." Shadow said and continued on her way. She grabbed 'Mini Dumbledore' by his throat and threw him into the wall. "You little fucker. You will not live passed this night. I promise you." Darnel Hook sneered at Shadow, "You can keep your fantasy all you want Shadow, but I will be alive." Shadow smirked, "It took me 3 years and I finally figured out how to kill you. But really do you think that by using the name Darnel Hook I wouldn't know who you were? I've watched you for a long time. Grandfather dearest won't be able to save you this time." Darnel's eye's widened in shock, "How, how did you find out?"" "Darling, I'm a Dougal. I always find what I want. When I get it, and how I use it is a totally different story." Shadow said her eyes turning a deeper red. Darnel saw her eyes but refused to show terror. "What are you going to do?" "Oh come now. That would just ruins the surprise." Shadow said blinking at him innocently though her eyes told a different story. Darnel glared and said, "Well do it soon. I have stuff to do." "You know I hear it takes a lot more then telling a man who your family is to get them to bring you back." Shadow said. "You can't kill me Dougal." Darnel sneered. "Oh but I can. I have killed many, many men, and all of them told me I couldn't. With the exception, of course, being death himself. For he can take my life just as freely as he gave it to me. How do you think one becomes what I am? They die and death brings them back. The price? I must kill who killed me. But see I did him one better I killed all the men who betrayed him. Fun isn't it?" Shadow asked touching his cheek. "If only you hadn't betrayed me the first time Haden." "I did it because you were evil, Shadow." Darnel said. "Me? Evil? Then what is your grandfather?" Shadow asked taking a step back her eyes still red but not as red. Oh she was going to kill him, but first she was going to get answers. "He's pure good. What else would he be?" Darnel asked. "Pure good? Oh honestly. Do you believe that? He's a manipulative bastard. He kill your mother and said I did it, and you believed him." Shadow said. "You did kill my mother." HE sneered. "Why would I kill you mother? What reason did I have? I only kill with a good reason." Shadow said. Blade came over and whispered in Haden's ear, "Believe her Dumbledore is evil, and I should know, I'm Harry Potter." Haden looked at Harry and glared, "How could you be Harry Potter, you're Tom's son." Blade growled and showed his scar, "It's Lord Voldemort and your grandfather not my father did this to me." "If only I loved you like I did then. But since I don't this is going to be so easy." Shadow pinned him to the wall and put her hand to his head. A glowing silver ball appeared over his head and his eyes slowly lost their shine. Her other hand went through his chest and came back out with his still beating heart. She smiled her eyes turning red and skipped to Tom with the glowing ball and heart. "Look!" Blade shook his head and grinned saying, "Need help sending Dumbledore his Christmas gift?" Shadow blinked and looked at Blade. She blinked again innocently her eyes turning pink. "Can I keep it?" She said talking about the heart. "Whatever, go ahead but send the body to His Royal Manipulativeness." Blade said. "Okay! I even got the perfect bow." Shadow grinned She pointed to the heart and it shifted into a nice bow dripping blood. She summoned Haden's body to her and wrapped it around him tying it like a heart. She conjured up a titanium box and put him in it. In the lid it said, 'To: Your Royalness From: Your esteemed friends.' "I decided not to keep it after all." Blade nodded and said, "thank you for ridding the world of another worthless bug." He bowed. "All in good fun!" Shadow said and looked at her blood soaked hands, "Ewww." "Cleaning spell will do the trick/" Blade grinned. "He always did bleed a lot." Shadow said before muttering a cleaning charm with a happy grin. "All better! Now I believe this is for you." She held the glowing ball to Tom. Tom walked over and took it, "thank you Shadow." "You're welcome My Lord." Shadow said and nodded her head at him before walking over to Charlie and Bill. Blade looked at his father and said, "Have fun with her." Then walked away and went to Severus. He sat in Sev's lap and whined, "Sev I want to dance." Severus shook his head. "I can't dance. Find someone who can." Blade pouted. "But Sev... I want to dance with you." "And I would have loved to dance with you if I knew how." Severus pointed out. "Just hold my waist and sway, pwease I'll be your slave for a day." Blade said. "The offer is tempting but I do not fell like embarrassing myself or you." Severus said. "Alright a week." Blade tried. "Why don't you ask Mr. Weasley? He looks a little lonely. I would to, watching those two go at it." Severus snorted watching Charlie and Shadow 'kissing' against the wall. "Sev I will but after that pwease dance with me? The slave thing still stands." Blade got up and approached Bill. "Will you dance with me?" Bill looked at him startled. "Alright." Blade smiled charmingly and led Bill out onto the floor and started to slow dance with him. Blade laid his head on Bill'' shoulder. He loved dancing though he was good at it. Bill let himself hold Blade but knew nothing would come from this dance. The song ended and Blade looked up. "Thanks Bill." He went back over to Sev and put his hands on his hips. "Will you dance now or do I have to bribe big time?"

"I think Mr. Weasley likes you." Sev said before standing up. "Come on. We will dance once then you will return to dancing with Mr. Weasley. You know you want to." Shaking his head Blade said, "Yes I do but I want to dance with you once. How 'bout tomorrow for the day of slavery?" Sev shook his head. "How about after we destroy Dumbledore. We will have uninterrupted time then." Blade smiled and put his arms around Sev's neck and laid his head on his shoulder. Around that same time Shadow and Charlie came up for air. "Let's go back to your room." Tom looked over at Charlie and Shadow. He walked over to them and said, "If you are doing anything I want to be involved." Shadow grinned. "Oh that sounds fun!" She looks at Charlie. "What do you think?" Charlie smiled and said, "Time for the fun to start." Blade looked at the trio as they left and got the same idea. He smirked and whispered into Bill's ear. "Want to join Sev and me in bed?" Bill's eyes widened. "Wha... surely you aren't serious." Blade pulled back so he was looking in Bill's eyes, "I am completely serious if you'll have Sev and me." Bill stood there gaping for a minute and kissed Blade before realizing what he was doing. He pulled back and turned pink. "Sorry." Blade licked his lips and leaned forward and kissed Bill. Bill's eyes widened before closing and surrendering to the kiss. Sev look on and was shocked to see Bill and Blade kissing. It was damn hot those two together but he wanted to know what was going on. Deciding that he would indeed find out what was going on he walked over to the two and tapped Blade on his shoulder. Blade knew who it was and broke away saying, "Care to join us Sev?" Sev smirked looking Bill up and down. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Bill groaned and said, "You 2 will be the death of me. Care to move this to the bedroom?" Sev and Blade smirked and quickly made their exit dragging Bill along with them. They led him to Sev's bedroom and Sev kissed Bill. Blade stepped back and watched them. The two men pulled away from each other and smirked at Blade. Blade smirked confident that he would keep his composure. He then raised an eyebrow. Tonight would be interesting.
