Chapter 33
Cercis and Lucius landed heavily on the stone floor of what looked to be the dinning room of an old manor. Cercis looked around the room and saw at least 3 circles of standing and cloaked Death Eaters surrounding the Dark Lord.
"Come on" Lucius hissed dragging Cercis forward. They moved through the lines effortlessly and reached the centre circle. Lucius dropped to the floor and moved forward to greet his master. Cercis heard him mutter "Master" before moving to his place.
"Lucius" the Dark Lord hissed. Cercis' scar twinged. It was completely covered by his hair again, but even if it wasn't he seriously doubted that anyone would have recognised him besides that fact.
"Who is your guest?" the Dark Lord was looking straight at Cercis who stared back at him, with an unfeeling gaze. Occlumency was again in place.
"He does not look away. Interesting" he turned to face Lucius "He is either very brave, or very foolish." Cercis sniggered; the Dark Lord had just used the exact same words that Lucius had when he had first met him, in Florish and Blotts over 4 years ago.
"Silent!" he hissed. Cercis just raised an eyebrow questioningly.
The Dark Lord lifted his wand and pointed it at Cercis
"Crucio!"
The spell that had hit Cercis so many times in the past, whizzed towards him, but Cercis was ready, just before the spell hit him he hissed
"Speculum!" and the spell was reflected off onto one of the watching Death Eaters.
The Dark Lord lowered his wand
"Very interesting, tell me now Lucius who is he?"
Cercis locked eye contact with the man, according to the prophecy, he was meant to kill.
"Cercis Snape my Lord" Lucius answered finally.
"Snape? He did not say that he had a son. Severus step forward" He commanded.
Cercis turned away from the Dark Lord's gaze and stared at his father, hatred rose inside of him, along with an anger that his father could have lied to him.
The Dark Lord seemed to sense something from Cercis and turned away from Severus to face him.
"Cercis speak NOW!" he demanded.
"What do you wish to hear?" he asked the snake like man in front of him.
"Where do your loyalties lie? And do not lie to me, for I will know."
Cercis smirked.
"Yes I know you are a master of a very special skill, however I have trained in it too, and my mind will not so easily be read as some that stand here."
The Dark Lord looked at him, intrigued, though he did not show it. Cercis continued speaking.
"My loyalties do not lie with Dumbledore, nor with the ministry. However" he raised his voice as mutterings broke out from within the Death Eater ranks.
"I am not certain that they lie with you either. But saying that if I hear anything I am more than likely to come to you than I am to go to anyone else. But, I once thought I would go to my father, but now I am not so sure."
"Why is that? Do you not trust your father?" The Dark Lord asked him.
Cercis looked at the bowing figure of his father.
"No." more mutterings broke out. "Not with secrets, but with my life? Yes, indefinitely."
Cercis looked away from Severus and faced the Dark Lord again.
'Time to be blunt'
"Tell me, master, how goes the attacks on the Finnegan's, Thomas's and Granger's?"
He smirked the look of shock was adamant on every Death Eaters face, even though they were hidden. Cercis could almost feel it.
'Blaise is rubbing off on me' he mused to himself 'if I think I am feeling people's emotions'
"I doubt that Severus told you of those plans. How did you find out about them?"
Cercis look slyly up into the Dark Lord's face again.
"Let's just say I have my way" he grinned, somewhat manically.
"I think you and I should talk, Voldemort." Loud exclamations broke out at the use of the Dark Lord's name, and they were beginning to annoy Cercis
"Oh shut up all of you!" he hissed venomously. They did.
'I love wandless magics' he thought as the Death Eaters all attempted to speak, and all failed miserably.
Cercis switched to parseltongue when he spoke next, the sound caused shudders in the cloak figures and Cercis smirked.
"You wanted to know of my loyalties and so I shall tell you them." Cercis was staring straight into the red eyes of Lord Voldemort and slowly he moved towards him. Hissing the snake language knowing that the Dark Lord understood him completely.
"They are not with Dumbledore, he has messed up my life far too many times to count. He lied to me about my parent's loyalties, my parent's relationship my mother's house, friends and family. He sent me to live with filthy muggles and never once tried to get me out of what he called 'care'." He spat out the last word with such hatred that those closest to him back away slightly.
The Dark Lord was listening intently, never before did he have a follower who spoke his ancestor's language. He only knew of one other person who did, but he would not be in his presence voluntary. Would he?
Cercis was speaking again.
"My loyalties do not lie with the ministry, they never helped me either, they only criticized me, abused me verbally, insulted me, called me a liar, a fake, an attention seeking little child" Cercis knew that he was giving away too much information but at the moment he didn't care.
'Let Voldemort figure it out – he would have eventually anyway.' He thought bitterly.
"I hate the ministry and I hate Dumbledore and his precious Order of the fucking Phoenix." He smiled evilly.
"Then there's you. The man who my mother followed and my father still does, the man that killed my mother under false accusations the man who has numerous servants to do his bidding, the man who has wanted to kill me since I was only a year old. The man who I defeated. The man who I respect above all others." He switched to English "Fuck I just gave away who I am."

AN: Yes I know another short one, but still isn't that a lovely cliffhanger?? *LS laughs evilly *
Spell:
Crucio: JKR (You all know this so I wont bother putting it in every time I use it.)

Speculum = Strong shield.
Review Replies:
Rebecca: Because I'm evil and I have a love of cliffhangers. Dumbledore will die. As for the death of harry – he might let the Aurors keep looking for him after all its not exactly like he looks like potter any more is it? *Ls smirks * as for his loyalties – pretty much explained in this chapter – but will be continued in the next. Thank you!
Luna Malfoy: this one is short too – sorry but it was such a good ending! And I am being very good at getting new chapters up quickly though aren't I? *Smiles seductively * you wouldn't hurt me now would you? *Innocent look * as for the looks – check your email *Grins * Thank you!
Biblios: Thank you! Make this a Cercis/Draco fic? I dunno if Cercis is gay he could be *shrugs * hadn't thought bout it much however there has been many suggestions about making this a Cercis/Blaise which I am pretty sure wont happen now, but with Draco? I dunno maybe it could be way to relax for Cercis – I cant see him as one for loyal and caring and faithful he just uses people now *Laughs manically * I love evil Cercis! Stop? I wont be stopping anytime soon promise!
Captain Mad-Hatter: Hope you had a happy All Hallow Eve! Go to and DE parties? Thanks for the review and the candy!!
SlytherinDamian: Ginny's reaction coming up soon! Lucius would have sent more curses flying but its not often that the boy-who-lived/most definite person on the side of light turns up in a Dark Arts manor that belongs to Lucius Malfoy and blocks a curse using Dark Arts then says that he is no longer supporting Dumbledore is it? No, so no more curses . . . yet. *Laughs evilly * thank you!
ResQgal: Severus' reaction will be noted soon!! Thank you!
MarsMoonStar: thank you so much!!!
Kemenran: Here's some more for you!! Thank you!
Thank to everyone who has read my story and special thanks to everyone who took the time to review! I love you all!!!
Mini survey:
Do you think Cercis should start a relationship or do you think he should go around and fuck anyone he wants to (I have an idea about a Cercis/Draco scene but I'm not certain im writing it in – I do plan to bring Granger back into the picture so that Cercis can have some fun messing around with her)
Feedback needed on this please help!!
Keep reading and reviewing!
