Chapter Seven:

Harry looked absolutely sick at the sight of Bellatrix; he had seen her before. In Dumbledore's pensive last year. She perhaps was the most loyal of Voldemorts followers...and now she had Tom. Only Merlin knew what would happen....

"But how did she get in the castle?" Harry asked, looking at Snape then to Dumbledore.

"Quite easily, I'm afraid" Albus told everyone's favorite Gryffindor "Just like how Sirius managed to get in the castle simple enough and he was against dementors. So, she could simply have walked in."

Severus stared at the headmaster with one eyebrow raised and looked like he wanted to say something but Harry beat him to it.

"And they say Hogwarts is the safest place..." he muttered and gave a wary look at Albus.

Blinking, Albus nodded his head "Those have been my exact thoughts for all my years of being a professor then a headmaster."

Rolling his eyes, Snape rubbed his temples. It seemed he was destined to be surrounded by idiots, both his students and his boss. Keeping calm like the Slytherin he was, he tilted his head down at Harry and Albus.

"Don't you think we should concentrate on more important matters? Such as a certain Baby Tom who got himself kidnapped?" his voice seemed to hang in the air and silence went over the three males.

Albus was the first to break the silence by leaning over to Harry and whispering "I think he's right"

Harry gave him a look to suggest that he was insane and looked at Severus. "Do you think Bellatrix is still in the castle?"

The head of Slytherin gave a very unslytherin like shrug "It's a possibility. One that I think we should act upon quickly"

Severus gave a pointed look at Albus, only to have the Headmaster ignore it completely. Getting a little more then impatient, Severus then gave a small cough making Albus jump a little in surprise.

"Yes, yes. Act on possibility" Albus mumbled "It's best if we split in twos for this. Well, at least you and Harry, Severus. I'll go round up the other teachers."

With that the old man left, muttering to himself. Harry and Severus looked at each other. With Harry having a dear in the headlights look and Severus glaring his Glare of Doom ™. Not saying a word, Severus led the way and Harry followed.

Random Hallway

Bellatrix held Tom closely to her and scurried down the hall, her eyes scanning the corridor to see if anyone was there. No one was. No one to stop her. She would soon be out of there and away from the wretched place! Stopping at the end of the hall, she strained her ears to listen for anyone coming. It was only her luck that she did in fact hear someone.

"No! Not that way, you dolt! Honestly Potter, do you think she'd head over to the Great Hall?" Severus Snape's voice rang through the hallway's walls.

"It's possible!" shouted back Harry's voice.

"But not probable!" was the counter comment.

A ripple of shock and fear went through her. The traitor. Severus Snape. Even if he did abandon the Dark Lord, that didn't make the Potions Master any less powerful. And then there was the savior. Harry Potter. As much as she'd want to deny it, she couldn't overlook the boy's potential. He was supposed to be the one to defeat Voldemort....and in a way he did. Making his way into the Dark Lord's heart....that was Potter's way of defeating him... Bellatrix shook her head of the thought. There was no way that Voldemort would ever willingly change his heart.

Beating a hasty retreat down the hallway so not to confront Harry and Severus, Bellatrix didn't realize the noise she was making.

Down just one hall, Harry and Severus walked on arguing. "She could be at the Great Hall!"

"She could be anywhere! Seriously, Potter, I think I should take points off of Gryffindor for your stupidity!" growled out Snape.

"You would do that wouldn't you!" Harry shouted back only to fall silent at the sounds of someone's feet padding on stone floor. They took one glance at each other before running to where the sound was coming from.

Just as they reached the hall where the sound was coming from they saw only a part of a cape as it disappeared into a classroom at the end of the hall. Being the younger of the two, Harry was faster in getting to the room with Severus following behind. Turning into the room, he stopped dead in his tracks as he stood face to face with Bellatrix, Severus coming in several seconds later, standing right behind him.

"Well..if it isn't the traitor and the savor.."

Albus' Office

The dear insane headmaster sat behind his desk facing Remus and Minerva. The two professor glanced at each other before looking back at Albus.

"Is there a reason as to why you've called us here, Albus?" Minerva ventured to ask as she gave the headmaster a questioning look.

Dumbledore looked up from his desk, which he had been staring at ever since Remus and Minerva had arrived, and blinked at them. Dawning realization went over his features and he coughed into his hand. "Well, yes, there is a reason...a good reason" his face had a mix of grief and determination that left the two professors speechless "Bellatrix...has returned to Hogwarts and not just for a visit..." The transfiguration professor and the Defense teacher both nodded; they understood what he meant.

Back to Bellatrix, Harry, and Severus

"Well, if it isn't the royal pain in everyone's arse" Severus snarled at Bellatrix.

The rather insane woman smiled at Severus "Oh Sev sev, you don't miss me? I'm hurt."

In Bellatrix arms, Baby Tom slept on and Severus took a look at the child "Not yet, you aren't. But trust me, you will be hurt unless you give me that baby"

Harry could only stare at Tom as Bellatrix tisked at Snape. "You should no better then to threaten the one with the hostage"

She waved her wand above Tom to show what she meant. Severus' and Harry's eyes went wide.

"You wouldn't." Severus breathed out.

Bellatrix smiled sinisterly "Oh, but I would. I'd curse him so badly that his heart would have to turn evil. Should I Severus? Should I tarnish his heart now"

Ignoring Harry seemed to be her biggest mistake, for the boy took refuge behind the professor and got out his wand. Bellatrix's attention was all on Snape.

"It would be a most grievous mistake, if you did" Snape's tone was soft and calm, but held traces of danger that didn't go unnoticed by Bellatrix, who smiled all the wider.

"Oh? And what would you do? Hex me? I'm quivering with fear" her eye twinkled evilly "You wouldn't. Not while I have this baby in my hands"

Harry took that as his cue to jump from behind Severus, point his wand at Bellatrix, and scream out "Expelliarmus!"

Baby Tom flew out of Bellatrix's hands and went up in the air. Bellatrix pulled out her wand, as did Severus, and Harry went to catch the baby. The loyal follower of Voldemort pointed her wand at Harry and started to utter the words "Cru-"but she didn't get to finish, for another voice hissed out.

"Crucio!"

Bellatrix withered in pain and screamed out, falling to the floor. Severus held his wand, rigid and still pointed at Bellatrix. Harry had already caught baby Tom who was still under the sleeping spell and was looking at Severus. The potions master lifted the curse off of Bellatrix, his black eyes betraying no emotion.

In the background, footsteps could be heard sounding. Albus, Minerva, Remus, and an Auror appeared on the scene, all of them looked surprised. The Auror took one look at Bellatrix and his eyes widened. He then turned to Harry and Severus.

"Which one of you preformed Crucio? This woman has the symptoms of it" the Auror said, looking between them. Severus dropped his wand arm to his side and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry to say Mr. Snape. But you are under arrest, along with Bellatrix" The Auror held out his hand and Severus resentfully placed his wand in it. Going over to the fallen woman, the Auror lifted her up with a spell and muttered "Follow me, Mr. Snape"

And with that, Severus Snape had been arrested by the Ministry Auror. End Chapter
