One Of Their Own
Chapter 5
Severus took his time making the potion; he told Tom as soon as he could about what Dumbledore wanted him to do. Voldemort just told him that he should do what he wanted to do, so Severus went along with Dumbledore's plan and made the potion. He made sure that if they were placed on him they would not work, putting his blood and his lord's blood into it. So neither of them had to worry about Dumbledore using the bracelets on them.
Speaking of the bracelets, they were silver bracelets bands, quite nice but there was nothing special looking about them. Nothing wizarding about it either, if Severus did not know better he would say, Dumbledore was putting them on a magical person in the Muggle world. He told all his suspicions to Voldemort, not just about the bracelets about everything.
He was not loyal to the light side, nor was he loyal to the dark side. He was just playing both sides, being a spy. That way either way he would survive the war, if Voldemort won he would be trusted, if Dumbledore won he still would be trusted, being a spy and all.
He put the bracelets and let them steep into the potion over night, he was just finished when Dumbledore was down asking again, when they would be finished. Dumbledore had been impatient about the potion getting finished. Severus had lost count how many times the man had annoyed him, asking him when the potion would be finished, and telling him to try to get it finished faster.
He was of course still as curious as ever, about where they were going, and who was wanting rid of their magic. Wither it was legal, with their permission it was; against their permission it was illegal. He knew of the headmaster's true nature, and laughed at the lot of adoring idiots, who sided with Dumbledore because he was light side, and was good and pure. When he really was not he was just as power hungry as Voldemort.
"Its done headmaster" said Severus.
He really had to stop himself from rolling his eyes, some part of him was glad it was done, the man had been really annoying these last few months. He did not like anyone in his potions labs, and Dumbledore had been less than welcome every time he had come.
"Thank you Severus" said Dumbledore snatching the bracelets from Severus.
"Welcome" said Severus.
He was never aware that Severus followed him, when he heard where the man was going he frowned, wondering what the hell was going on, he went back down to his rooms, he did not want to be caught.
Harry of course tried to get away, he came to realise unless his mother or James, wanted him out of the house he could not get out. The wards would just slide him back across the hall, not hurting him or anything. That had caught him of guard; he had tried other ways, such as climbing out of the window. Nothing seemed to work, and he set himself for what he knew was coming. He had heard of the potion, he had read it; he knew there was no coming out when the potion was taken. His magic would be stripped from him; he had not completely given up hope of getting away. He hoped that he went to Neville's again; he hoped he would be able to get away if they went there.
There were more attacks than ever; Lily was hardly out of the house. Much to Harry's horror, he knew he would not be able to get away. He hid in the secret passageway, when he heard someone coming through the floo; he wanted to know who it was. Once he heard who it was, he wished he could silently disappear.
"Ah Lily, James I have the suppresser with me" said the old voice of Dumbledore.
"Great" said James a minute or two later,
"What am I supposed to do with these bracelets?" said James sounding annoyed.
"They are the suppressors, they also have an unbreakable sticking charm on them, unless there is someone out there more powerful than me, and then they will never come off," said Albus, secure in his knowledge that he was more powerful than Voldemort.
"I see, thanks Albus," said James sounding very pleased.
"Your welcome my boy, so how is the child?" asked Albus.
"Well it's a boy, and he is fine, it's going to be great," said James.
"Yes, we will need the boy christened as soon as possible," said Lily.
"I see, well Remus and Sirius are undercover still, I asked them to stay longer. They seem to want to get back here, perhaps writing letters will sooth their fears?" said Albus making it sound like a suggestion.
"Yes, we will do that, thanks Albus. Has Snivellus been able to get any decent information?" asked James he still did not trust the man.
"Apart from attacks there is nothing planned" said Albus.
"Good, we might get some peace before the baby comes," said James with a thankful sigh.
"How long until it's due anyhow?" asked Albus fondly.
"Oh two months" said Lily rubbing small soothing circles around her belly.
"Great, well looking forward to seeing the new born child" said Albus.
"Yes its going to be a beater that's for sure, if his kicks are anything to go by, Harry was always quiet in the womb, you could hardly tell he was there at all." said Lily.
"Well he is a Snape," said Albus.
Harry's eyes widened he now knew his last name, he just wondered still who his father was. He had never heard the last name Snape before. He knew an author Snape that was about it. He had read a book, with S. A Snape. It was obviously a long time ago, that was for sure, perhaps it was his grandfather or grandmother on his father side. Who knows? Thinking to himself 'Harry Snape? That does not sound right; I wonder what my father would have named me. Defiantly not Harry that's for sure anyway'
"Yes, and he will be gone for good, and I can't wait I cant stand the brat" said James annoyed.
"Well, I must be going," said Albus.
"Goodbye Albus" said Lily.
"I will speak to you later Albus," said James.
"Goodbye and Good luck" said Albus floo'ing out.
"What do you want for dinner James?" asked Lily.
"Anything Lily dear" said James looking at the bracelets an evil smirk on his face.
"Well I will make mince and Potatoes how about that?" asked Lily.
"Excellent love sounds great" said James.
"Good" said Lily going to the kitchen.
They were too busy playing the happy couple, to even realise that they had not reset the wards up. They did not even realise that Death Eaters had been watching the manor for days. The said Death Eater rushed of to tell their lord when the wards, were not put back up.
"I will go get Harry," said James. Harry was out of his hiding place and running towards his room.
"Whatever" said Lily from the kitchen.
James was up in Harry's room before Harry; Harry went flying into James trying to get into his room. He was taken by surprise that the man was in his room so soon. Looking at the bracelets, he knew that his time was up. He was going to loose his magic, and nothing was going to get it back. Harry knew better than to struggle, he had learned that at an early age. James was much stronger than he was, magically and physically, he after all caught dark wizards for a living.
Harry as soon as the bracelets clipped into place felt his magic being drained from him. Falling over, Harry began feeling physically weak. It was as though the magic was what was keeping him standing, feeling dizzy he was hardly aware that James was leaving. His whole body sagged to the floor he felt as though he had a fever, his whole world spiralled into darkness, and he knew no more.
He woke up hours later, still in the same place, opening his eyes he looked around. His dinner was on the floor at the door, bum shovelling he got to his dinner, before eating it. The bracelets were weighting him down, if Harry had looked in the mirror, he would have seen the glamour charms flicking.
It was magic that was covering his features, with no magic there was nothing to ground it, eventually the charms were going to break. The main question was when; will he ever get the chance to find out what he really looked like? He got the potions book from under his bed and looked at the picture on the back. He sat tracing the face with one of his fingers, the whole time wondering what he should really look like.

Voldemort's lair
----------------------
"You both bring news?" asked Voldemort as two of his Death Eaters apparated in.
"Yes My lord" they both said, bowing and kissing his robes.
"Well?" asked Voldemort.
"The Potters wards are still down my lord, if we go then we will get them" said the Death Eater.
"Excellent! And Severus my slippery spy what news do you bring?" asked Voldemort.
"Dumbledore just went to the Potters, with the suppressing potion, what is planned for the bracelets is still not known. Potter is pregnant again, and its due in two months" said Severus.
"I see it could be a trap, I will gather all the Death Eaters, you will alert me when Dumbledore is back, if the wards are down we will go" said Voldemort his eyes gleaming.
"Yes my lord," said Severus.
"Go!" said Voldemort.
"Yes my lord," said Severus and the other Death eater bowing.
---------------------
Half an hour later
----------------------
"My Lord I got here as soon as I could, Dumbledore is back at Hogwarts looking quite smug" said Severus making a face.
"Good, good, now death Eaters lets rid us of the Potters once and for all!" yelled Voldemort.
The Death Eaters cheered, Severus himself was looking forward to getting back at them. This was his chance and he was going to take it. He could not wait to hurt their brat and see how they like it; he was looking forward to hurting them.
"Let's get to Potter manor, apparate now," said Voldemort.
The room was filled with loads of 'pops' as Voldemort's lair was emptied.
Is Severus Snape with Voldemort or Dumbledore...he doesnt like the tortures but yet he seems to be on voldemorts side? which is it? will Harry survive this or will the dead body tell the tale? R&R
