Chapter Nine
A Dark Appointment
Severus awoke to a searing pain on his left arm, he knew immediately that the Dark Lord was awaiting his arrival at his lair. He tried to get out of bed, but found the task difficult due to the soft yet firm body clinging to his chest. As he lifted the dainty hand and gently placed it next to its owner, the young lady stirred and smiled up at him.
"Where are you going?" She asked the now half naked man standing in front of her.
Severus walked over to his wardrobe closet and began to dress himself for a meeting he would rather not attend. The fact that the meeting was only suppose to be between himself and Voldemort and he was not required to wear his Death Eater robes, had him a little on edge. "At this time of night, where do you think I'm going?" Severus stated dryly.
"Don't get snappy with me." The young lady replied as she reached for her wand to light the various lanterns within his chambers.
He settled on a black long sleeved silk shirt and a pair of black slacks.
Severus let out an exhausted sigh. "I'm just a little on edge. He-who-must-not-be-named told me of this meeting two months ago and yet I can not help but feel a bit uncomfortable." He stated as he placed his shoes on.
The young girl gasped. "You don't think Voldemort has found out you work for the Order do you?" She stated curiously.
Severus flinched at the mention of his old masters name.
"Really Severus, I would think you of all people would be able to say his name by now." The young lady stated matter-of-factly.
Severus looked down at the naked woman in his bed, he refused to look at her as a young lady or student after moments of intimacy. Their relationship was kept secret for good reason and at times he found it surprising that she had trusted him so easily.
"Are you just going to stare at me like that or are you going to answer my question." The young lady stated with a hand on her hip.
Severus smirked at the woman before him. "Love, believe me Albus and I have already thought of that and we believe there is little to no evidence that supports that theory." He walked over and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. "Besides if he found out I was a spy, do you really think I would be here with you now?" The young girl shook her head slowly. "Very well then, you should head back to your dormitory before anyone discovers you have left."
The young lady nodded her head in agreement and proceeded to leave after she had placed on her sleeping gown. She turned to face her lover slowly. "Severus, when you arrive back will you send word to me in our usually way? I will not be able to sleep unless I know you are safe."
"Sure love…" Severus nodded. Although he had been seeing the young women since the beginning of summer, he still felt it odd to have someone care for him the way she did. "As soon as I arrive." He promised.
The young lady smiled and walked over to give him one last long kiss. "Be careful." She advised sternly and then disappeared from his living quarters.
After leaving the gates of Hogwarts, Severus apparated in front of the Riddle home. He knew he should have been more frightened at the fact that he was having a meeting alone with the Dark Lord. However, he found himself strangely calm. Maybe it had something to do with the hours of shagging he had experienced earlier with a certain young lady. He smirked, at the thought of his love. She was good, he would give her that. Before he knocked on the door of the manner, Severus had to give himself a moment to block unwanted information in his mind.
He knocked on the door and moments later he was led in to a small pallor by none other than Peter Pettigrew.
"Ah! I see one of my most faithful servant has arrived." Voldermort hissed from his plush chair in front of a fire.
Severus walked further in to the room and immediately began to bow low. "My Lord, my only wish is to serve you." Severus replied smoothly.
"I see you were able to escape the castle unnoticed by that old fool Dumbledore."
"Yes My Lord."
"Very good, I have great plans for many of his students this year and I refuse to have him meddling in my affairs."
"He is none the wiser, My Lord." Severus stated as he bowed his head yet again.
"Quit your groveling Severus…" Voldermort hissed. "One may think you are guilty of something."
Severus took this as his cue to stand several feet away from the snake-like man as he would at a normal Death Eater meeting.
"Now, I have called you here tonight to discuss a student of yours who is very important to me and the coming war."
"I know My Lord." Severus stated respectfully.
"She will be of great asset to me, if we can convince her that this is where she belongs." He hissed.
Severus nodded his head in agreement.
"To assist you in… convincing Miss. Parkinson, I have enlisted the help of another Death Eater."
At this news Severus began to wonder who would be assisting him and why he was not capable of doing this mission alone. However his thoughts were interrupted as a young man emerged from the shadows behind Voldemorts' chair. Severus immediately knew who the young man was and had to try his best to keep a face of unconcern.
Voldemort waved his boney fingers in the direction of the young man. "I take it, you two have met?"
"Yes My Lord." Severus stated.
He looked at the young man in disbelief, his student was not only a Death Eater but one that was privileged enough to be given a personal assignment by Voldemort himself. He remembered that he was only slightly younger than Masenfer when he pledged his allegiance to the dark side and the Dark Lord. Yet, he still found it disturbing that a student of his was a servant to He-who-must-not-be-named. He had never heard Voldemort speak of the young man before and knew for sure he had never seen him at meetings, if you could call waiting in line to be tortured by a mad man a meeting.
Voldemort continued. "Masenfer here is a loyal follower of mine who has been away on several special assignments in the states. He has been called upon to assist you in any way you see probable. And I can assure you his reputation exceeds him."
Kai bowed low to Voldemort, humbly thanking him for his appraisal.
As a spy for the order Severus needed to get rid of the young Slytherin without angering the Dark Lord. "My Lord, Miss Parkinson is very special to your plans and as to not arouse suspension I feel it would be best if I convinced her on my own."
"Believe me I know of the power that is contained within Miss. Parkinson..." Voldemort rose from his chair and began to pace the floor in front of him. "However, I sense with the… accidental death of her mother she may need more convincing and that is where young Masenfer comes in."
"I do not feel this…"
Voldemort stopped pacing and raised his wand to the older wizard dangerously. "Lucky for you I do not care what you feel, this plan is foolproof and if all goes as well as it should at the end of the term I will have one more Death Eater to add to my inner circle."
Voldemort took his seat once more and moments later the slithering of a large snake could be heard entering into the pallor as well. The snake began to coil at Voldemorts' feet.
"Nagini here is growing restless, as am I." Voldemort began to stroke the top of the snakes head. "Masenfer have you any news for me?"
"Very little My Lord, with it only being the second week of school, Parkinson and I have had few encounters."
"CRUCIO." Voldemort hissed. The pallor was soon filled with the screams of Kai, who was currently on the floor shaking under the violent curse. "I will not accept excuses." Voldemort spat as he lifted the curse of the young man who immediately resumed standing next to Severus.
"Ye…yes My Lo...Lord." Kai stammered.
"Now tell me what you do know." He stated as his red snake like eyes thinned into small slits.
" I have found that Parkinson detest a certain muggle born by the name of Hermione Granger." Kai stated as he continued to stare at his feet.
Severus stiffened at the mention of Hermione, however his display went unnoticed by the two men within the pallor.
"Potters' friend?" Voldemort spat.
"Yes, My Lord." Kai stated.
"You see she already has the mind of a true follower, continue." Voldemort added obviously pleased with this bit of information.
Kai cleared his throat. "I have also noticed a relationship forming between herself and the youngest male Weasley."
"You mean that muggle loving family, who dares to call themselves pureblood?" Voldemort questioned.
"Yes, My Lord."
"Well is that all?"
"No My Lord, I have also noticed that Miss. Parkinson spends various moments of the day writing to an unknown correspondent."
"How is this so? Were you unable to track down the corresponding owl?"
"My Lord, she and this individual share only her owl. I have watched her closely and I can assure you that her owl delivers and receives all messages."
"I see." Voldemort stated. "I suggest you intercept this owl and deliver the name of this correspondent immediately. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes My Lord."
"Very well, you are dismissed." The young man gave a quick nod in the direction of Voldemort and began to leave. "Oh and Masenfer…" The young man turned to face the plush chair again. "I expect to see you within two weeks, I trust you still have your port key."
Kai nodded his head in agreement and turned once more to leave the manor.
"On to you Snape…" Voldemort hissed. "I trust that your meeting with Parkinson went well."
Severus nodded his head in agreement.
"Has she improved any since her sixth year."
"Yes My Lord, one can tell that she took heed to my advice and practiced over the summer holiday."
"Good, when will she be ready?"
"She should be able to throw off and stop most dark curses by the end of the term."
"Right on time I see. Very well you are dismissed as well."
Severus turned to leave after giving one last low bow to Voldemort.
"Severus…" Voldemort hissed. "I suggest you don't disappointment me or you may meet the same fate as Mrs. Parkinson."
Severus nodded in understanding. "Yes my Lord."
Seconds later Severus apparated outside of Hogwarts gate and made his way up the path, he needed to see the Headmaster immediately.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I wanted to give you a look into Severus life and give you insight as to what Kais' mission is. As cleaver readers, I am sure you were all able to figure out what type of meeting Pansy and Snape had. If not, I plan on having a chapter devoted specifically to what goes on at these meetings. This chapter was very different from those in the past seeing as I had to tap into Severus head and believe me I will not do so again. Oh and I wonder who the young lady is who can't keep her hands off of her professor.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW it means so much to me
D.Torres- I would really appreciate if you could be my Beta Reader. I mean I have good ideas and I know exactly where I want to take this story, but I am just no good at catching grammatical errors. Plus it would be good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.
CMaca- I'm glad you enjoy reading my story.
