Damn Dumbledore and Damn Potter, those stupid Unbreakable Vows got me into this. Severus Snape thought as he apparated off the grounds of Hogwarts to Riddle Manor.
"Snape," Lucius Malfoy called "Our lord wishes to see you, immediately."
Upon entering Severus dropped to one knee and kissed the hem of Voldemorts robes. "I am here my lord," Snape said as he bowed. "and Dumbledore is finally dead." He said with a small amount of glee.
"That is good but why, Snape, was it you who killed him, when I ordered Draco to the job?" The low hissing voice of Voldemort asked.
"Draco was taking too long, savoring I would have to assume, and we needed to go so I finished him quickly, getting as many of your death eaters out as possible, sir." Snape said after a second of thought.
"I can see where a mere boy would savor his first kill, though it is sad he didn't actually get to kill. Am I correct, Severus?" The dark lord hissed dangerously.
"I must beg your mercy my lord. I didn't believe Draco's first kill was as important as keeping your death eaters alive." Snape said. Sadly for Severusthat was the wrong answer.
"Crucio!" Voldemort hissed and enjoyed the screams of Snape as he writhed on the floor under his curse. Finally after what felt like hours, but was trulynot evena minute,he took it off. "The whole point was to insure the Malfoy heir was on our side. His money and power are needed, you have given him a chance to leave the death eaters without a problem from the Ministry as he has yet to take the mark." The dark lord bellowed at his fallen servant. "If I didn't need your potions making skills you would be dead. Leave now." Voldemort hissed.
Severus raised himself up slowly. After leaving the dark lord he let out a breath. I must talk to Draco. When Severus returned to his room, he found him. "Draco, are you alright?" He asked after taking in the disheveled look of the Malfoy heir.
"Godfather, I can't serve the dark lord. Even I know it would mean my life and the end of the Malfoy line." Draco whispered frantically.
"Don't worry Draco. I am going to get you out of here." Severus said with determination. He is all I have left, I won't fail him. Severus thought with determination. After thinking for a moment he knew what he had to do. "Draco, I am going to make you a portkey, the wards will allow them to leave if made by a death eater. It will take you to Dumbledores portrait in the Headmistriss' office. Tell Dumbledore everything, Minerva will listen to him. Even though he is just a portrait now." He muttered to himself. "Do you understand?"
After Draco's nod Severus took out a quill. "Portus!" The quill flashed blue for a moment then was normal again. "As soon as you touch it you will leave. Goodbye, my young Dragon."
With that Draco left and Severus knew his life was forfit.
