(Mini AN: Halloween was Sunday night, Harry gets expelled on Tuesday afternoon, it's now Wednesday the 3rd of November)

Chapter 36

It was breakfast at Hogwarts and already rumours that Harry Potter had been expelled for using the dark arts and joining the Dark Lord had spread through out the student body. How they started no one knew, but the effect of them was clear on almost everyone's faces.

Those at Slytherin, had their impenetrable masks in place, and only one as skilled in reading people such as Ginny would have been able to tell that they already knew this little tit bit of information and those that didn't were those that were not in favour of the Dark Lord and were scared.

Those at Hufflepuff were frightened that the one true hope for the wizarding world had tuned against them, had most of them near tears.

Those at Ravenclaw were trying to figure out why the only person besides Dumbledore that was clearly on the side of light, was not anymore and then they in turn blamed this on Dumbledore himself.

Those at Gryffindor were harbouring many different reactions. The 5th, 6th and 7th years couldn't and wouldn't believe that the quidditch champion, and warrior for the side of light would turn against them; they then blamed it on Ron and Hermione. His supposedly best friends who he had been arguing with constantly since the start of term. The ones in 4th year and below were upset that such an idol of Gryffindor tower would betray them. Ron was distancing himself from every one at the table. Guilt and fear evident on his face. Hermione buried herself back into her books, much like the scared little first year again. But if one look closely at her you could see that her eyes were bloodshot from constant crying, her clothes were crumpled, as if she had slept in them and her hair was down, loose, knotty and not looked after. Ginny on the other hand had a calculating look in her eyes, and was deep in thought. Only the arrival of the morning post woke her out of her stupor.

A sleek black owl flew in through the rafters and dropped a letter off at the teacher's table. Severus Snape picked it up; Ginny watched his face for a reaction. Curiosity, shock and then amusement. He waved his wand, the letter burnt up easily and then he quickly wrote a reply and handed it back to the black owl, which then flew over to the Slytherin table. Ginny watched it give a letter to Draco, and then Blaise before flying off again.

She watched their faces for a reaction. A smirk was clear on his face and he glanced up to his head of house and found him watching him. Ginny saw Severus nod slightly and Draco' s smirk widened.

Blaise re and re-read his letter before turning to Draco and burning both of the letters. Ginny stood up from the Gryffindor table and moved over to the Ravenclaw one.

Luna was as usual sitting on her own and stood almost immediately as Ginny approached her.

"Come." Was all that Ginny said to her. Luna nodded and followed obediently.

Ginny led Luna to an empty classroom then locked and warded it.

"It seems we were wrong about Harry and Blaise in a relationship. I received word from my love that the rumours of Harry joining the Dark Lord are correct. In fact Harry is the latest Death Eater to join his ranks." Ginny glanced over to Luna, who contrary to popular belief is not insane.

Luna smirked "How does this affect your plans, mistress?"

Ginny started pacing across the room. Luna watched her.

"My love said that Harry Potter is wanted by the Aurors, but he also said that Harry did not greet him as Harry Potter, but as Cercis Snape. The son of our dear spy and potions master."

Luna stared at her mistress in shock.

"Severus has a son? And it's Harry?" she asked in a voice only slightly louder then a whisper.

Ginny grinned, "Yes he does. His name is Cercis Malus Snape. He is in training at the Cleveland Manor with Narcissa and Lucius. My love said that Cercis refused to bow down to him and grovel like his other servants, because he is his equal and he shall follow the Dark Lord, not as a mindless drone but as a follower with brains who intends to use them."

"Ha – Cercis said all that and didn't get killed?" Luna asked still in shock.

"Yes, my love was very impressed. You are to attend the next meeting with me, and we shall meet the new DE in person once again."

Both girls, wiser and more mature for the age then they should be, shared a purely evil laugh together before leaving the room and heading off to their first class of the day; Potions.

~S~

Not long after Ginny and Luna departed the Great hall, Severus did too. He glided down to the dungeon classroom, for the first time ever, eagerly waiting his 6th years Slytherin/Gryffindor potion's class.

He waved his wand and the ingredients for his 5th year Gryffindor/Ravenclaw class and patiently waited for them to arrive.

The bell sounded and they stumbled into the dark and cold room.

Severus took the register and started the class. Noting that Ginny kept stealing knowing glances at him. He knew that she was the Dark Lord's consort and she knew that he had to treat her like he did any other Weasley. Only with her it was more like game.

"Miss Weasley, Miss Lovegood. Stay behind after class."

His sharp voice cutting through the stale air of the dungeon classroom.

Both girls nodded and he smirked and moved on to take points from Gryffindor because of Colin Creevey 's terrible potion. Then after an hour the bell rang again and the classroom emptied. Ginny and Luna approached his desk and Severus stood, out of respect to her when they were but a foot in front of it.

"Sit down Severus." Ginny said to him in the same voice that she had used at the All Hallows eve party three days before. He sat.

"My love tells me that your son, Cercis, is the newest DE to enter the fold. He also tells me that the rumours about Harry are correct." She turned her gaze onto the potions master and he tried not to recoil backwards.

"Tell me Severus, why did you not tell us before?" she hissed.

"I told my Lord that we were going to tell him after he was marked milady."

Severus answered immediately in a strong voice.

"What did you wish to talk to us about Severus?" Ginny asked him in a commanding voice.

"My Lord said that you were to come to my office at 7.30 pm on Friday. He is having a meeting and wishes for you two" he motioned to Luna, who was standing behind Ginny "To come along and meet Cercis."

Ginny nodded, "Yes I knew that he wanted us to meet your son, but I did not realise that it was to be so soon."

Severus smirked "In Friday's Potion's class, give me a reason to give you a detention. That way no one will suspect anything if you disappear from your common rooms for a long period of time."

Ginny smiled sweetly. "Of course"

"Dismissed" Severus replied. Ginny and Luna headed towards the door.

"Milady forgive my rudeness, I sometimes forget that though I may be your teacher you are my Lord's consort and as that is so you should be the one to dismiss I not the other way around."

Ginny smiled and moved back over to where Severus stood. She moved behind his desk and entered his personal space.

"Oh Severus" she whispered into his ear and she ran her fingers over his face.

"Whilst we are within Hogwarts walls you can command me as a teacher should." She moved in closer, pushing her body against his. She smiled as she heard Severus gasp.

"However remember not to over step your rank." Ginny then reach up and pulled him into a fierce kiss. She then backed away and joined Luna at the Door.

"Good bye professor" she called back to him as they left the room and continued up the stairs towards their next class.

Severus collapsed back onto his chair and absentmindedly ran the long slender fingers of his right hand over his lips were the powerful red head had just kissed him, sighing he realised that he was glad that he did not have a class to teach right now.

Review replies:

Very Special thanks to: Saerry Snape, my favourite and most loved/respected/adored etc. author on fanfiction.net. I screamed when I realised that she had reviewed and read my story (and promptly got kicked out of the library) thank you so much Saerry! Your review meant a lot to me! Yes I was going to use Desturo but I though I'd get Harry started on the more violent curses first. *Grins * thanks for your review though!

Special thanks to: Quila, Dir En Grey, Lord Master Omega, Jam, ResQgal, Cassa-Andra and Tonks5.

Kemenran: No he's going to be tutored by Narcissa, Lucius and Severus at the Cleveland Manor.

SlytherinDamian: *nods * yes very good pet. Kidnap Weasel? Hmm could work.

SlytherinAtHeart: I don't have these already typed up. I normally type them after college or late at night, which is why the grammar can be so bad.

Selua: 'What's Harry going to do with Hermione?' Harry is dead, or near to it. Now 'What's Cercis going to do with Hermione?' would be a better question but do I really need to answer that? There is a reason why this fic is R rated. *Grins evilly and then goes off laughing to herself *

Marishamarish: yea I think I prob will put the Cercis/Draco scene in. it's to much fun to leave out.

Sita: 'Granger' and 'bed' in the same sentence *Shudders * now 'Granger' and 'Raped' and 'Bed' in the same sentence *LS Smiles evilly * and yes, I remember the relations with the pureblooded families. Narcissa hasn't realised yet that the picture frame is that of her Aunt Campaspe. She will though.

Henio: I found an English/Latin translator site, but I might still email you for suggestions any way thanks.

Luna Malfoy: *LS blows cold air at Luna until she wakes up * Granger as a pet does not mean that she will bear his heir – he's more respectable than that! Also he will have an heir, I just havent decided who yet.

Biblios: Hehehehe no she wont know that Harry is Cercis, at least not at first, Mwahahahaha. Not only does Cercis get to shop with access to the Malfoy accounts (Narcissa is going to spoil him) but also the Potter account, and the Black account and the Snape account. Cercis is one rich boy. *Grins * one over the Dark Lord? Hmm im not sure about that I think I can think of a way for the DL to be pissed at him but I shall say no more here . . . . Draco as a pet? Not sure that would work. Lucius would allow it but would Narcissa? Yum bacon and eggs you lucky buggar. I love it when my reviewers ramble, it makes me realise that I am not the only insane one in the world.

Cr1Ms0n^D3v1L: granger as a kitty kat? Hmm she has the temper for it yes. *LS goes off laughing to herself again *

Also I am thinking about starting a House competition, with questions based on this fic. But I will not start it until each house has at least 2 or 3 members in it. Please state your house in a review. I will be keeping a list of who is in which house and who in which house are Death Eaters.

Thanks to every one who has read my story and special thanks to everyone who has reviewed it!!
