A/N: Whoo, chapter 6! Thank you all who have been sending this lowly writer support via reviews. Just, thanks a lot for bearing with me and my slowness and life issues…
Now the challenge. What would Sev do? Would Sev tell him what he said? That he was an animagus, a spy? Would he turn and kill him? All those questions and more passed through his mind and more. The only sign of worry and agitation was his tail flicking around nervously.

Snape knew very well what would happen if he were to tell Voldemort who his companion really was in front of the other Death Eaters. It was immediately decided that telling was not a wise course of action, seeing as how he could be labeled a traitor, even though he brought the boy to his "master." As much as he was infuriated by finding the truth, it was not an option to reveal who he was.
Looking at the snake like man, he calmly stated that this animal was his newly discovered familiar. Holding his breath for a reaction, he let out an unnoticeable sigh of relief when Voldemort just nodded his acceptance.
So it seems "Zion" will be attending more meetings in the near future. If he were to suddenly to disappear, it would not give him a good impression, and would lose some of the trust that had been hard earned.
He would be sure to talk to his lord later and explain what had occurred. It surprised him though when the cat curled up and did nothing for most of the meeting.

Harry knew he was busted. There was no doubt in his mind that the emotionless potions master knew who he was. But that wasn't true. He knew the man had emotions. He could never look at him the same.
He had seen a side to the man most others didn't have to chance or implicit trust to see. And he had just blown away any chance of having his trust again. Harry had been given a second chance, maybe it wasn't too late to salvage a bit of the broken bridge they had crossed.
Hoping to appease the older mans softer side, he patiently curled up on the floor. Staying still through the "meeting" and remaining content didn't last long. So he started actually paying attention to what was going on. Maybe he could get to understand this side a bit more.
Duly noticing there were many crucio's cast, but only to those stupid enough that losing a few more brain cells couldn't hurt. It was almost like an insurance policy, showing the consequences for being stupid. Most would be better off running away or "dying for the cause."
It was surprising when he dismissed everyone, Snape and he remained rooted to the spot. Tom gave a huge sigh and dropped the glamour of the hideous snake like body. He looked to be in his late 30's. Lustrous black hair, taller than Sevvie, but the red eyes remained. If a leopard could look shocked, Harry came pretty close.

It was amusing to see the shocked look on a leopard. He'd be sure to find other ways to see the expression again. Tom seemed just as amused, but was more verbal about it.
"Is he ok?" Riddle questioned. It seemed to snap the cat out of the self induced stupor. Then turning his back on the two, seemed to sulk, opting to peer out at the now empty hall.
We both laughed, and quickly turned to discuss plans for the next meeting. Zion was soon far from out minds. Tom got up and we started through the hidden door before I remembered my familiar was there too. He had dozed off while the two of us chatted away like old friends.
Not wanting to bother him, but knowing he would panic at being left alone, I gently roused him. All the while, I could feel Tom's penetrating gaze on me from the door way. It took a total of half a minute to even wake him up, and even then, Zion wasn't truly awake. But none the less, he pulled himself up and followed us out the door.
It was decidedly late, so there was not a chance in hell of getting back to the castle tonight. Thankfully, Tom still had my room set up from the summer I had spent in his current home.
We parted ways when we reached my room. As soon as I opened the door, Zion moved zombie like to the bed and curled up at the end. He was asleep before I could finish changing into some night clothes. I was soon to follow though, meetings always took forever…
A/N: Yay, chapter six. It may have taken forever, but it has some length to it… now I just need to make a constant effort on working on it. I don't know when I'll upload the next chapter, but it's currently 3 in the morning and I'm tired. falls over dead (tired )
w also posting an edited chapter…uhhh, I think it was five. Yeah, it's five. Just fixed some spelling errors….
