Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter! Sheesh people!

Severus turned his head wearily to look at the intruder, followed by Draco who had absolutely no wish to do so. "Curses…" Draco muttered as his eyes fell upon the silky straight black hair surrounding a lean witch with a face that claimed to have been beautiful once.

"Bella…"Severus acknowledged with a nod of his head. He could not quite contain the irony of the situation. His wife was here to capture him and his son. On the other hand, a small glimmer of hope ignited in his heart that he might be able to talk her out of it.

"Severus, what a funny world we live in!" Bellatrix clapped her hands in mock surprise. Her voice rang along the empty alley and Severus bitterly remembered the times when he had been enchanted by this voice; a time when he would have been happy to claim himself slave to this enchantress.

"Indeed, Bella. A world in which a mother harms her own son and husband for another. A very funny world indeed!"

Bellatrix's face flushed and Severus could see her face going red even in the dark. Draco himself had looked up at his mother's face to search for her reaction. He mused lightly that she at least remembered that she had born him.

Bellatrix looked at Draco for a moment. "Draco…"she whispered as if even she could not believe it.

Seizing the chance, Severus began talking once again. "Have you forgotten all that was between us? The love? Our child? Our family?"

For a moment, Severus thought it had worked and that his wife was going to pardon their lives, but within a swipe of her beautiful hair, her face had changed. It was contorted with fury and her eyes flashed menacingly in contrast to the dull night. Her body was rigid as she screamed, "It WAS there! It no longer IS here! Our family that you broke apart! You did not love me. YOU deserted me when I was captured. It was the Dark Lord who took me under his care!" Her voice was shrill as she pointed a long finger in Severus' direction.

"The Dark Lord was not taking care of you! He cares about you just as much he cares about every other vermin on ht efface of this earth!" Severus spat. "He would have made Draco a death eater had I left him in your care! And how were you to care for him! You were too busy rampaging to care about your family!"

"Draco was made a death eater anyways!" Bellatrix retorted, fuming.

Severus fell silent, his breath coming out ragged.

Draco felt as if a lead was pressing hard on him. he did not know what it was that he felt, but he knew one thing was sure-it was painful. His own mother had barely cared about him. He had, of course, known this, but to have the face thrown in his face hurt more than anything else! "I would not have Mother…" he spoke up. His voice was soft, almost hurt.

A sharp intake of breath was heard as Bellatrix broke down. She ran over to where Draco was lying and held him. "Damn, Damn! I missed you, but my duty calls for me, Draco!" she said through tears.

Her own son accusing her was more than she could take, and it had been what had crashed reality upon her. She held him in her arms, rocking him back and forth. Severus looked steadily, still rather weary of her. Finally, he choked out, "Bella?"

Bellatrix looked up from where she was holding Draco. "Severus, I'm sorry…I'm sorry…its just…" she babbled, but Severus didn't need to hear anymore.

"Its alright. You've reformed and that's all I need to hear. Come with us! Leave the Dark Lord!"

Bellatrix crawled into Severus' uninjured arm and wept, "I don't know…how can I just leave him like that?"

Severus' heart ached. She was still obsessed. He turned her by the shoulders and tilted her bent head to look him in the eye. "Please. For me. For us-your family. You have had 18 years of servitude to the Dark Lord. Its high time you spent some time with us."

Bellatrix looked into the obsidian eyes and slowly, as if it had never happened, she nodded. Severus smiled. "Thank you…"

He bent down and did what he had not done for so long that he had forgotten just how much he missed it. He hugged her and kissed her, her warm lips soft against his broken and bruised ones. Bellatrix could taste his blood on her lips. Her tongue ventured out to trace his lips. Severus made a slight movement as if in pain, but quieted soon. His hands held her close as if to promise her that he'd never let go.

Draco averted his gaze; glad to have finally gotten his family together. He decided not to disturb them for awhile. It was out of the question that they move for awhile now anyways. Severus can hardly be moved for some time.

As for Severus, he just reveled in his wife's touch. "I love you, Bella," he murmured.

"And I you. I can't believe I didn't see how I missed you."

Severus broke away for the moment to reach for Draco. "It is time we leave. We have wasted enough time as it is."

"And for a good cause too…" Bellatrix smiled and Severus could not resist the urge to hug her.

"As touching as this moment undoubtedly is, I'd have to break it up." Sneered a voice from beside them.

A/N: A bit OOC for most of the characters, but even bad guys would react this way in such a situation. I have tried to stick to their original characters though! Tell me what you think! Five reviews for the next chapter! Excitement! WHOOTS!
