A/N: Yes, I know it's been forever, but I was getting back into the hang of school starting and teachers don't understand that I do not do well under pressure…anyone else have that problem or is it just me?
*crickets chirping* ……thought so…..but enough excuses! Now, on to the story!
Then out of the blue, Snape's arm twitched.
Zion, knowing what was going on silently followed his new friend, and temporary "master", to his room. In the corner sat an almost hidden cabinet that contained two things.
A simple black robe, and a mask.

Now came the dilemma of what to do with Zion.
There was no way Snape would leave an adolescent leopard in his private rooms unattended, but he didn't know how the animal would react to apperating or being in the Dark Lords presence. The last thing he wanted was to have his new pet to be used against him. Or attack the Lord himself….
Not a bad way to die....but none the less, he wasn't willing to put his friend in jeopardy just so he could go to the blasted meeting.
Not quite knowing what the man was stalling for, Zion ran his head into the mans back, as if to tell him to get moving.
Greasy git, I'll be fine, it's him being late that I fear.
Realizing how long he must have been standing there, not knowing why Voldemort had called him, he needed to hurry now. Slipping the robe on and placing the mask on his face, he looked at Zion. Waiting for a response as to what the cat wanted to do. There was just one of those feelings he knew what Zion wanted to do, but just to be sure.
After a few seconds, Zion walked out the door. Once he could see that the man was following, he took off towards the edge of the grounds, where the anti-apperation wards ended. Running down hallways as fast as he could, taking the fastest route possible, but being sure his human could keep up. Never noticing what he referred to Snape as. He stopped running only after he was outside the wards, where he waited for the Potions Master to catch up. Even for being as old as he was, the man did a good job of keeping up.
It was only a minute before the man and big cat stood side by side. Giving the animal a few seconds to change his mind before they left, when he made no move, Severus placed his hand on Zion's head and apperated them to Riddle Mansion.

Landing outside another set of wards, Sev lead the way this time. Many halls awaited them once they went through the main double doors. Most of them covered in shadows, not unlike Sev's entrance to his room. They went on for a bit until they finally found a hallway with another set of double doors that were sitting open. Taking a second to glance at Zion, he didn't want the cat to follow him in. So as they reached the doors, he made a "stay" motion, and the cat obeyed. Or so he thought.

Half way through the meeting, nothing really bad had happened, sadly, this is never a good sign. Voldie always used the unforgivables once every meeting. If he didn't, it meant something really bad had happened for him to be in a good enough mood to not bother with the death eaters. Everyone was on edge for the end of the meeting to find out what the dark lord had done now that was big enough to tolerate anyone without cursing them. For you see, he always revealed his plans, and recent accomplishments, after each meeting. Now that all the spies were gone, minus his own.
Suddenly, someone sneezed. Their lord was in the middle of a sentence, and looked on the man with a murderous glare. He apologized profusely, but stating that he only sneezed when he was near a cat due to allergies.
He was on the opposite side of the hall of Snape.
Oh dear Merlin, he didn't…
Not even able to finish that though, someone yelled about tripping over something big. Soon everyone was running around trying to catch the invisible force that apparently had claws. Testimony to that was Knott's face, which looked like a scratching pole after a few cat's had been through, not that it wasn't uglier than that before.
The death eaters started randomly throwing hexes in every direction the felt movement. What was surprising was that Voldemort was just sitting there. No surprised look that someone got into the meeting, or even anger that it was taking so long to catch whatever it was running around. No, he was sitting there with an amused expression, watching the pandemonium as it happened. Not bothering to lift a finger.
After awhile, there were only a few death eaters standing, Lucius was extremely obvious with his platinum blond hair that had fallen out from behind his hood and mask. Each was breathing heavily, still trying to find the source. Silent as night, Zion had taken down almost all the men in the room.
Yet, Snape had joined Voldemort in amusement, just watching. Zion hadn't attacked either of them, he only attacked those who tried to harm him.
Then it was all down to Lucius. The last standing. Until Voldemort threw a stupefy at him. He obviously knew Snape was behind this, as the man hadn't really panicked when the others had. Or at least, though he had something to do with it.
"Ok, show yourself, who can destroy all my men without being captured. There must be a few of you, maybe we can help each…" stopping half way when Snape moved forwards to the center of the room.
"Why could you have not waited outside? The meetings don't take that long. You know I'm not happy about you killing all these people."
Zion walked over him and dropped the invisibility spell so that Snape could easily find him. Walking over and pushing his head against Snape when the man leaned down to scold him.
To say Voldemort was surprised was the understatement of the year. A cat had just annihilated his forces in less then an hour. But what was even more surprising was the fact that his potions master was completely at ease around the feline, and even seemed…happy. Even with blood all over the leopard, and dead men surrounding them.
If he was going to be surprised any more, hell might as well freeze over too. Almost at the same time, the "dead" men started to sit up and hold their heads as if waking from a hangover.
Looking around, some were trying to figure out what hit them. As they started to get up, Snape and his pet moved back to Voldie. Snape didn't even try to apologize, he didn't say anything at all, just watching in as much awe as the dark lord at them men getting up.
A/N: Ah kno, another short chapter, but it b gooooood. School sucks, but a week off means more possibility of updates….not much you can do.
