Chapter 35
Severus apperated just outside the borders of Hogsmeade and began the short walk back to the castle.
He reached it within 10 minutes and headed straight down to his dungeons.
'Well done my son'
He thought as he stepped into his office. Though it was not empty.
"Blaise, Draco you two should be in your common room its past curfew." He said to them as he moved to his desk.
"We know sir, but we want to know what has happened to Harry. We can't find him; no one's seen him since he left the ROR with you." Blaise said to their head of house.
Severus sat down and motioned to the two 16-year-olds to do the same. They complied.
"First of all that was not me. It was Headmaster Dumbledore. Secondly Harry Potter has been expelled"
"What!" his little talk was cut off by the outrages of both Draco and Blaise. Severus motioned for them to keep quiet, and he continued.
"Dumbledore expelled Harry after Harry admitted to wanting to join the Dark Lord. He is currently staying at your Cleveland manor Draco."
Blaise looked at Draco.
"What! Father would kill him! Why the fuck did he go there?" Draco asked Severus.
"Language Draco." Severus reprimanded him light heartedly "He didn't have much of a choice of destinations and he choose wisely. Dumbledore does not know of that manor."
Draco stared at his potions professor before answering.
"But still, father would kill him!"
Severus smirked.
"They're getting on rather well actually."
"W . . .What? They are?" Draco stammered.
"Yes" Severus answered leaning back into his chair. "In fact Lucius was the one to bring Harry to the DE meeting earlier; the Dark Lord was rather impressed with Cercis and has given him his Mark."
Draco looked confused.
"Who's Cercis? What about Harry?"
Blaise was the one to answer him.
"Cercis is Harry." He looked to Severus quickly before continuing mentally.
'Shall I tell him Cercis' full name?'
'Yes, he is trustworthy.' Severus replied calmly.
"Harry Potter is Cercis Malus Snape."
Draco stared back and forth between Blaise and Severus.
"Snape?" he asked in shock.
He looked up into the black eyes of his head of house.
"Harry is your son?"
"Yes." Severus answered simply.
Draco turned to Blaise.
"Is he serious?"
Blaise nodded.
Draco looked away from both of them.
"Fuck."
~S~
"Cercis wake up" A gentle female voice was calling to him. Cercis slowly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. The walls were a deep green as was the thick carpet. All the furniture was made of Mahogany wood and the silk sheets that were covering his body were black.
"What the fuck?" he muttered to himself getting out of the four-poster bed slowly.
"Oh yeah." He muttered to himself.
"Dumbledore expelled me, I'm at the Malfoy's manor, last night I tortured and killed a family of four muggles and became a Death Eater." He grinned as he stood up.
"Well Mr Snape." He asked himself.
"What shall you do today? Abduct Granger again somehow and keep her as a pet? Kill the Dursley's?"
"We can you know, if you want." Said the gentle voice that had woken him. Cercis looked towards it.
"Good morning ma'am." He said politely to Narcissa Malfoy.
She smiled and walked over to him.
"Call me Narcissa, Cercis. Go and take a shower, get dressed and come downstairs, and we can discuss what to do today over breakfast."
Cercis smiled at the blonde woman. "Okay." She smiled again and moved towards the door. "Thank you Narcissa."
"Don't take to long now." She said as she left the room.
Cercis walked into the en suit bathroom and took a shower. He pulled off his boxers, and stepped into the shower, letting the hot water flow over his body. Cercis looked down at the Dark Mark that had been branded onto his skin, and he slowly ran his fingers over it. It was cool to the touch at the moment, but Cercis expected that when the Dark Lord called them, it would burn.
He finished his shower quickly and dried himself off and went back into the room, on the bed a long black robe was laid out for him and there was a note on top of that.
Cercis,
This is for today; later on we can go buy you a new wardrobe. Lucius has sent one of the elf's to Hogwarts and collect your things and bring them here they should arrive when we are out shopping. Lucius has also changed the name of your Gringotts account so that you can access it.
Hurry to breakfast.
Narcissa.
Cercis smiled at the note. Then pulled on the black robe. It was silk to the touch but was charmed to keep the wearer hot if it was cold and cool if it was hot. He them went over to the desk where his cloak was hanging off the back of the chair. He reached in to the pockets and drew out the picture frame of Lady Campaspe.
'I'll ask Narcissa if I can put her up on the wall somewhere.'
He transferred the picture to the pocket of the black robe, he then pulled his boots on that were underneath the chair and moved towards the door. Just as he reached it he muttered.
"Accio wand" it flew out from underneath one of the pillows on the bed, which had been made up while he was in the shower, and zoomed into his hand. He caught it then put it into his pocket along with the portrait of Lady Campaspe.
He walked out of his room, shut the door and headed left down the corridor towards the main staircase. His boots echoed loudly on the mahogany floors and stairs.
As he reached the bottom of the stairs a house elf appeared and Cercis sneered at it, it quivered slightly.
"Mistress said that Dippy is too show young master Cercis to the dinning room." It said to him in a high-pitched voice.
"Very well you stupid creature, show me the way before I kill you." He snapped. Cercis was not a morning person and he was not in the mood to tell with hyperactive elf's, even if this one seemed rather calm and quiet.
The house elf led Cercis through a door to the right, of where they stood now, and held the door open for him, Cercis swept past it without a word.
The room had in it a very long table that looked like it could sit 10 people comfortably. The floor was mahogany like the rest of the manor. The table and chairs were also mahogany. On the chairs were emerald green cushions with silver linings.
'Slytherin colours' Cercis thought to himself.
At the very end of the table sat Narcissa, waiting for him, whilst petting a very familiar white snow owl.
"Hedwig" Cercis said as he moved closer. The owl gave a gentle agreeing hoot and flew over to him. She landed on his should and Cercis stroked her feathers.
"Hello girl, I've missed you." He whispered to her. She hooted in reply.
"She's a very gorgeous owl. Arrived this morning while you were getting ready." Narcissa commented and Cercis looked over to her. She motioned to a seat beside her and Cercis took the hint and sat down, with Hedwig still on his shoulder.
"Thank you, she means a lot to me." Hedwig hooted again and nipped him lightly on the hand that was stroking her as if she was agreeing that he meant a lot to her too, which she probably did.
"You said earlier when I was mumbling to myself about what to do today that we could do what I suggested."
Narcissa smiled at him.
"Yes, you said you wanted to kidnap Granger and keep her as a pet. I had an idea about how we could do that. You also said that you wanted to kill the Dursley's, they're that muggle family you grew up with correct?"
"Yes that's right, they treated me like a bloody house elf! Can we kill them?"
Narcissa laughed lightly.
"We'll ask our Lord at the next meeting." Cercis nodded. "As for my plan to get that Granger girl. I can make a portkey we can owl it to Draco he can slip it into her bag then in the evening when we know that she's on her own, for instance late at night, we can activate it and portkey her here, after all portkey' s work within the walls of Hogwarts."
Cercis thought about that. Yes it would work, he grinned.
"Perfect, how soon can you have the portkey ready by?" he asked her happily.
"In about 10 minutes, we just need something small."
Cercis nodded. "Of course. But wait there's a fault in that, if Draco puts the portkey in her bag when she's in bed it will portkey the bag and not her."
Narcissa and Cercis sat in silence for a while trying to think of a way out of the little notch in the plan.
Cercis smiled to himself.
"We could just portkey her in, in front of everyone, that would cause a stir." He smirked, like at lunch or during class or something. Like potions, we can send an owl to father about it to let him know what's going on. Then bring her here."
Narcissa smirked. "Perfect Cercis, that's perfect. Here." She waved her long slender wand, and two pieces of parchment and two quills appeared on the table.
"You write the letter to Severus and the letter to Draco and I'll transfigure this quill into a portkey, Draco can swap it during class and then we can bring her here."
"We'll have to bring Blaise into this too, he's a telepath and can contact us when she has it in her hand."
"Yes that's a good idea. When was your potion's class?"
"It starts at 1.30 and goes on for two hours."
"We will have to be back for then. In that case but we should be its only 8.45am now."
Cercis smiled then mimicked the spell she had cast to bring a third bit of parchment to him. He then began the letter to his father, while Narcissa made the portkey.
Dear Father,
How are things at Hogwarts? I've had a good day so far; N and I have come up with a plan to strike back. During your 6th years potion's class today one of your mudblood students, who I have had dealings with recently, shall vanish from your classroom. Do not try to find her and keep Dumbledore from being informed immediately.
N and I are going shopping later for a new wardrobe.
Have fun teaching and I'll see you soon.
Love Cercis xxx.
P.s. burn this letter after you have read it.
Cercis then began the letter to Draco. While Hedwig waited patiently on the table to deliver the letters for her master.
Hi Draco,
Having fun at school? Your parents have been really kind to me, especially your mother who has helped me come up with a plan. During today's potions class I need you to switch Potter's favourite mudblood' s quill with the port-quill I am sending to you. It will bring her to me, where she shall stay.
Snape already knows what is going to happen and you will not get into trouble for doing this.
See you soon and burn this letter after you have read it.
Tanathos xxx.
Cercis put it aside then began the letter to Blaise.
Hi Blaise,
I need you to watch out for when Draco switches Granger's quill during today's potion class. It is a portkey that will bring her to me. She needs to be holding it or writing with it for the portkey to work so I am relying on you to contact me mentally when she is touching the port-quill.
Thank you.
See you soon and remember to burn this letter after you have read it.
Cercis xxx.
Cercis folded them all up with the individual names on the front and waiting until Narcissa had finished making the portkey. It didn't take much longer and she handed it to him to fix to Draco's letter.
Once the port-key was fixed he asked Narcissa.
"Do you know of a charm that will change the colours of her feathers temporarily it's just that there are many people at Hogwarts that will recognise her."
Narcissa smiled at pointed her wand at Hedwig.
"Adversus Umbra"Hedwig's perfect white feather's gradually turned darker until they were pitch black. Hedwig was unrecognisable unless someone who knew her incredibly well were to inspect her. But Cercis was the only one who knew her that well.
"Brilliant. Okay Hedwig can you take these letters to Severus, Draco and Blaise in that order please?"
She hooted an affirmative reply and took off for Hogwarts.
Cercis watched his now black, but still beautiful owl, sail out of sight and then he turned to Narcissa. She spoke first.
"Since you have been expelled from Hogwarts, you can either; transfer to Durmstrang as Cercis, or stay here, Lucius and I can tutor you. Which would you rather do?"
Cercis thought for a while.
'Durmstrang or here. Durmstrang or here.'
"What would I be taught here?" he asked after a while.
"The DA, SA, and AA."
"The what?" he interrupted her.
She smiled "The Dark Arts, Silver Arts and Ancient Arts. As well as Potions, Severus will have to come here and tutor you in that, for neither Lucius nor I are anywhere as good as him at Potions. Transfiguration, I can teach you how to become an Animagi. Lucius will be teaching you the DA, and I can do the other two arts as well as Charms and Herbology if you wish. Lucius can teach you Care of Magical creatures if you want to do that and I can teach you Astrology."
"Will I still have homework?" he asked.
"Yes and you will still have to do you NEWT's too."
Cercis' grin faded "Bollox. I was hoping to get out of doing that."
She laughed again. "That is of course if the Ministry and such is still around in two years time. The Dark Lord would probably have control by then. So you wont have to take your NEWT's. Now do you want breakfast now? Or do you want to go shopping?"
"Lets go shopping, I want to see the world's reaction to Cercis Snape. Oh before I forget." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the picture frame of Lady Campaspe. "Can I put her up somewhere in the Manor?"
"Oh course, we can sort that out when we get back." Narcissa answered as she stood up.
Cercis smiled. "Okay thanks. Lets go."
"We have to move to the front room there is an Apparating spot in there."
Cercis nodded and followed her back into the room where he had flooed to the night before. Narcissa led him over to the same dark rug that Lucius had stood on before the Meeting and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"We will have to teach you how to apperate as well. Ready."
Cercis nodded again and Narcissa apperated them away from the Manor.

AN: 2,700 not bad for me not my longest but deff. Not my shortest.
Spells Accio = JKR's Adversus Umbra = mine it's a glamour charm that reverses the colours and tones of whatever it's cast on.Review replies.
ResQgal: this chapter should have answered that. *grins *
IceDragon (first): Harry loved Sirius more than anyone else and Bellatrix killed him, he is not going to be forgiving her anytime soon no matter how evil he becomes.
(Second): Cercis is unlikely to stay straight – he fucks around to much for that.
Dir En Grey: Lucius?? I could possibly work that . . .
SlytherinDamian: I have been thinking about a Cercis/Narcissa scene, you'll just have to wait and find out what happens. Teeheehee.
Sita: Sorry but Granger is coming back in. Cercis will definitely NOT be fucking Severus it doesn't work with the characters. The DL' s sex toy is also a no go, but the DL could sleep with Cercis – unlikely though.
L.I.T. Wanderer: Tough it's my story I want Cercis to be a Death Eater so he is, Cercis will continue to call the DL master and Lord, Killed the DL? He's hasn't trained enough yet and even if he still wanted to he wouldn't have been stupid enough to do it when every DE there is was in the same bloody room as him was he?? Cercis is Cercis and cannot make the DL be any easier on his other followers.
Biblios: yes I agree sniggering is so much more evil then giggles which are so weak. Were you hypa when you wrote that review?? Lots of rambling! But I love rambling!! So keep on rambling!
Luna Malfoy: this chapter should have answered that. Well both of you r questions *grins *
Andromeda' s kitty: Cercis doesn't look like Harry anymore he has stopped taking the Veilskurn potion which kept him looking like Harry. So now he looks like Cercis, which is a carbon copy of Severus with lily' s eyes, seeing as harry was a carbon copy of James with Lily' s eyes. Does that make sense?
Special thanks to: Kemenran, Captain Mad-Hatter, Henio, MarsMoonStar, Mortis-Exspectare-Tu, SlytherinAtHeart, Selua, Keladria, Cr1Ms0n^D3v1L. I love you all!!
Keep reading and reviewing!!
