Disclaimer: No not mine.
A/N: Okay well before my thanks to all the reviewers. As most of you should know I have friends of different cultures and religions because I live in London and because of that I feel privileged to have not been brought up in a one race community, I learn to appreciate all religions no matter what and to accept others beliefs, and because of this I have two groups of people to note today. I have to say Guy fawkes day (bonfire night) was cool all the fireworks going off were truly spectacular, Happy Diwali (again the fireworks on Friday were beautiful) to all Hindu readers and friends out there and if my memory serves me correctly Happy new year as well which a Hindu friend of mine told me is more greatly celebrated, I hope it was a most excellent day for all. Happy Eid to all Muslim readers and friends out there who would have been celebrating either Saturday or Sunday, I hope it was a most peaceful day after a month of fasting. (If there are any religious or cultural celebrations (even birthdays) coming up please tell me so I can note it.) Oh yeah before I forget you might have noticed I haven't been updating as regularly as always this is because in the upcoming month there will be tests like crazy and the first two are next week so wish me luck.

Recap:
Hermione moved closely into his arms accepting one last kiss before closing her eyes oblivious to the fact that in a box in the drawer a certain silver locket with a serpent and a rose with thorns glowed a bright red as the blood had been released.
-------------
Voldemort laughed to himself. "It has been done, Severus shall indeed be rewarded Nagini."
Chapter 16.
"Fours hours of rest is enough don't you think Nagini?" Spoke Voldemort softly the spark of excitement not yet lost from his eyes as the snake nodded it's head.
Severus awoke with a jerk as the once faint mark began to glow scarlet. Quickly but gently he removed himself from Hermione and made to apparate to Voldemort, of course he had made all the necessary precautions of apparation in his home, and only those Severus wanted could apparate in or out of his home.
As Severus arrived he joined the circle of those few already there and waited like the rest for the full circle to arrive. Five minutes later the circle was full and all that was needed was Voldemort.
"Faithful followers, friends, brothers!" Spoke Voldemort. "A member of our small family has had success at last after months of being thwarted by the muggle loving fool Albus Dumbledore and his faithful half blood follower Harry Potter. He has married a mud blood (at this there was a murmur of out rage and confusion), yes I know in the least it is degrading however I have commanded this to happen (again another murmur of confusion but the outrage had evaporated). He has agreed to do this and for that he shall be highly rewarded. He shall be most bountiful and highest in favour for marrying the mudblood Hermione Granger, who shall produce a child to help us to win this war." Finished Voldemort with a mad gleam in his eyes. A murmur of understanding swept through the circle.
"Master when can...he...bring the girl so we she can amuse us?" Said a rather large death eater with a horrible grunting voice who Severus was sure to be Goyle Sr.
Severus immediately made to answer in a voice not quite his own. "I shall not bring my wife to any death eater meeting for the likes of you to be amused, she maybe a mud blood but she is now my possession and don't you ever forget that." He had not meant possession but that was the only way he could phrase it without drawing to much suspicion from the lesser death eaters.
"After this is done you can kill her and get yourself a new pure blood wife." moaned Goyle Sr sounding much like a child.
"My wife will have served her purpose, true! However she will have served the dark lord in a way no other death eater's pureblood wife has done, besides her magic is useful and can be of great service to the dark lord so in reply to your enquiry, I shall not bring her and than sweep her off for some pureblood woman that resembles a baboons arse with the such low intelligence she could barely perform an Alohomora charm, I'm sure your wife fits that description." Finished Severus venomously.
"Faithful death eater, I agree your wife shall be exalted even though she is a mud blood but exceptions can and will be made for her as she is now tied to you and has a magical ability no one can deny and though your description of my lesser death eater's wife was of course as accurate as it was amusing I must ask you to keep that to your self as such outbursts could cause disruption in my ranks. All death eater wives shall be honoured and like I would never ask a death eater to bring his pure blood wife and shall not ask this faithful death eater to bring this particular mudblood." Said Voldemort softly, true Goyle Sr had annoyed him however Severus had pretty much swept the floor with his face.
"You are dismissed, faithful death eaters remain!" Spoke Voldemort.
"Bellatrix, Radolphus, Rookwood, Severus." Said Voldemort. "You are my most faithful and highly exalted death eaters (murmurs of we are honoured began) and my most important assignments can only be shared with you, Severus you have been most helpful! I see you still have your old touch I could feel the girls excitement (at this Severus was worried but put on a false smirk) of course your home has all sorts of protective spells as a death eaters home should but I have ways of knowing Severus."
"Of course she would love it and would be most excited, she thinks I work for Dumbledore against you, silly naïve little girl (of course he hadn't meant that)." Laughed Severus.
"Modesty has never been your strong point old friend." Laughed Voldemort. It was strange how different Voldemort treated his lower death eaters, the higher ranks were more friendly and though the death eaters knew were to draw the line he was more lenient with the higher ranking death eaters.
"I guess having girls of all ages throwing themselves at the mysterious potions master isn't a great help him." Smirked Bellatrix.
"As amusing as this is I believe our master had something to say." Cut in Rodolphus.
"Yes I did." Said Voldemort. "Severus I'm sure yesterday was most amusing for you but we must remember why you are with Granger or shall I say Lady Snape, and that is that I wish for her to be impregnated, I want this to happen as soon as possible and so I have decided that it is to happen by the end of this month."
"As you wish, my lord." Replied Severus gravely before apparating back to Hermione to inform her and Dumbledore.
A/N: Yes I know it was short but if I carried it on, I'm afraid the lamest things would be written.
