Chapter 19: Severus's plan
"Hermione, I think that the dark lord wanted you personally. I would have to say I am lucky that we bonded last night, so he will not try anything with you. I am going to bring you when you are ready and you will go through the initiation.Then you will automatically be placed by my side." Severus told her.
"So I have to become evil?" Hermione responded like she just died.
"No no no! I will not allow it. The dark lord is allowing us to pull our mistresses, wives, etc. to the dark mark because he has discovered a spell that will kill all that do not bear it. It will be done soon, so I would have it done sometime tomorrow evening when I bring you." Severus told her.
Hermione then nodded in agreement, " I'll do it, then. I just do not want you to leave my side."
"I won't not for one second." Severus told her with meaning in his voice. Then he pulled her close in his arms.
"Severus, do you want us to leave?" Lucius asked.
"Thank you." Severus nodded.
With that, Draco and Lucius Malfoy left the room to leave the couple alone. Hermione then began to cry at what she had to do.
"Ssshhh.. It's ok. I have an idea.. Dry your eyes and let's go talk to Dumbledore. I need to update him onto what happened anyways."
Hermione then looked at him in shock. " You are a spy?"
"Yes, I do it to try to protect the children. I am not entirely heartless you know, although I may be a snarky bastard according to you." Severus told her.
Hermione looked grave in the face and turned away. She felt horrible for calling him that.
"It's ok, Hermione. I am fine with it, actually, I kind of like it because it builded me the reputation of being the most feared professor at Hogwarts. So, let's go and see Dumbledore." Severus said as he started to get out of bed slowly. Then he stood on his feet and started to walk towards the fireplace. Then he flooed himself and Hermione to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore was sitting in his office, doing some paperwork when Severus entered the office with Hermione close to him.
"What is wrong, children?" Albus asked sensing the troublesome behavior from them as then entered the room; like, they are being bothered by something.
"I must report to you.." Severus told him.
"Ok, report." Albus said as he gestured them to the seats behind them.
"Albus, the dark lord wants Hermione on his side. I think we should go through with it or she will be apart of the attack and become a victim. I do not want this to happen!" Severus told Albus almost in fear.
"I see. Well, when will this attack happen?" Albus asked.
"Soon. I am guessing that when Hermione comes over to the dark side, he will attack. That is when Harry will be at his weakest." Severus told him.
"Ok, you can do it. I will prepare the children, I am guessing that this initiation will take place tomorrow?" Albus asked.
"Yes, I am almost sure it will. Please save the other children. "Severus almost pleaded.
"I shall, Severus. It is time to put your plan into action. I also want you to keep Hermione out of harms way." Albus told Severus.
"Yes, Albus." Severus then bowed and stood up. He then walked to the door with Hermione by his side and let her out. Then he walked down to the dungeons with his wife.
"Severus, what is Albus talking about? What plan?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I will tell you when we are in private." Severus told her as he passed some slytherins.
When Severus and Hermione finally reached their chambers, he turned to her.
"I am going to make Voldemort fall into a trap and I as well as the staff will take them out. When that happens, I want you in this room and I will come for you. I love you, Hermione. I always have." Severus told her as he kissed her gently on her lips. He kissed her like it was the last time he was going to see her.
"How long have you loved me?" Hermione asked curiously as she held onto his forearms.
"Since the first day I saw you." Severus told her the truth. "Of course you knew that I could not show you due to my reputation."
"Yes." Hermione giggled. "Oh, while shopping today, I have a surprise for you. Lay down on the bed." Hermione told him with a mischevious tone.
Severus' mind then began to race as to what her surprise is for him. So he did as he was told.
"Accio Wand." Hermione called for his wand. "Infisible." Hermione said out loud and watched as Severus was bound to the bed.
"Ohh, do we have a kink?" Severus asked in almost a chuckle as he was tied down to the bed.
Hermione grinned evily as she got dressed in her leather outfit. Then she pulled out her whip and cracked it when she came out.
"Oh gods. I am going to enjoy this." Severus smiled as Hermione slowly walked towards him with a smile upon her face. He knew she was going to enjoy this, so he decided to let her have her fun.
