The dark, while being a wonderful place to hide things that needed to be hidden, was not the safest place to walk around. Pansy Parkinson growled as she stumbled, yet again, and quickened her steps to keep up the older man walking in front of her. She could barely make out his form, even though he was only about five feet from her. To say Pansy had been surprised when an old man in a green blazer had met her at the entrance, would be an under statement. She glanced briefly down at her own black dress robes and shiny black shoes, suddenly feeling over dressed in the dingy darkness. Pansy jumped slightly when the old man, Dr. Burns or Buns or something like that, stopped abruptly and pulled open a thick metal door that creaked ominously. Inside was a large empty room, with dim lighting and a cement floor. The doctor turned and waved for her to go in ahead of himself. Pansy frowned but walked in despite her nervous feelings. Where at first glance she had thought the room empty, she now realized her mistake. There was one large, black winged back chair sitting the darkest corner of the room. Pansy watched as dark glittering eyes reflected back at her from the shadows around the chair.
"Welcome Miss Parkinson, to my humble abode. I'd offer you a seat, but they all appear to be taken." Pansy smirked and ducked her head in greeting.
"Greetings DeBauch, from the Viper Children…." Pansy jumped and stepped back as a tall handsome man stood up sharply from the chair he had previously been sitting in.
"I know from where you come, Viper. You need not tell me. Now, enough of this. I have more important things to discuss with you. As we both know, after the fall of the Dark Lord the Death Eaters reformed, regrouped, and renamed themselves Viper Children. And for the last two years the Vipers have been trying their best to over throw the ministry, Dumbledore, and finally kill The Boy Who Lived. Are you still with me?" Pansy nodded slowly but continued to scrutinize the handsome man before her. She felt a mixture of fear, wonder, and excitement and couldn't help but feel curious about his intentions.
"Good. Now, down to business. I believe that the Vipers have the power to achieve their goals, all they need is someone to lead them, to guide them. I think I can help you there. With myself as their leader, the Vipers could so far, achieve so much. The opportunities are endless. Without me though, you're lost. You need someone to point you in the right direction and then to push you on towards your goal." Pansy squinted at the man for a moment before dropping to one knee.
"Before I return to my brothers and tell them of your generous offer, might I ask what exactly you get from all this?" The man walked forward and ran his fingers through Pansy's straight dark brown hair.
"What do I get? What do I get…..?" The fingers running through her hair suddenly tightened into a fist and pulled her face so it was turned upwards. Pansy could see the serious expression on the man's face as he stared back at her. "I get followers. I get power. I get to finally kill the son of a bitch that ruined my life. Do go back to brothers and spread my message. But know that this is no request. It's a demand. I plan on picking up where the Dark Lord left off and I will not fail."
As soon as she was released, Pansy bowed deeply and backed towards the door. She threw a glance at the old man who was still standing next to the door as the pushed it open and followed her out into the dark open space again. The old man opened his mouth and turned to Pansy.
"Samuel DeBauch will make every thing right again. He knows the way. All we must do is follow. A war is coming, Child, and I know what side I'm on. Do you?" Pansy nodded sharply once before turning and disappearing into the shadows. Doctor Burns stood and muttered for a few moments before walking back into the building.
Ooooooooooooooooooo
Dr. Burns quietly shut the door and walked towards DeBauch. He knew that his master wanted to talk. Not necessarily to him, but he needed to talk and there was no one else around. So he stood silent and waited.
"We need to get things going, Burns. I won't wait forever. It's past time to put my plans into action. I think its time we drop in to visit an old friend of mine."
Ooooooooooooooooooo
Remus glanced at the clock on the bed side table. It was already 3:21 in the morning and he couldn't sleep. Slipping quietly from the sheets, he stood and looked down at Severus, who was still sleeping soundly.
"I love you, Sev." Remus bent down and gently pressed his lips to Snaps temple.
"How sweet. I think I might be sick." Remus jumped and instantly raised his wand. There were two men standing his bed room. Right when he was about to disarm the men, he felt his body tense and freeze. Remus tried to call for Severus to wake up, but he couldn't move his mouth, or anything else for that matter. The taller of the two men laughed loudly and stepped out of the shadows. Remus felt himself stiffen even more and growl deep in his throat. Sam DeBauch. But how did he get into the school? And what did he want with Remus? He heard another muttered spell and Severus levitated off the bed, still sound asleep.
"Your going to have to forgive us for interrupting your sleep, but we're going on a little trip. Just you, me, Snape, and good ol' doctor Burns." Sam smiled brightly before pulling something out of his pocket, grabbing a hold of Remus and taking Dr. Burns wrist, who was holding onto Severus. They disappeared with a loud SNAP
Ooooooooooooooooooo
Ronald Weasely groaned and rolled over into the warmth beside him, burying his cold nose in Hermione's neck. Waking with a start, Hermione yelped and pushed his head away. Seeing Ron smile stupidly in his sleep, Mione grunted and stood, walking to the rest room. She grabbed a towel and some body soap before adjusting the water to her liking. A nice, hot bath was what she needed to relax after the last few days. Pulling her shirt over her head, Mione paused as she heard a thump from the bed room. After tugging the shirt back down, she pushed the door open and walked back into the bed room. Ron was still asleep in bed, and nothing else seemed to be out of the ordinary. Shrugging, Mione turned and headed back into the bathroom. She never heard the quietly muttered curse….
Ooooooooooooooooooo
