Oh crap.
"Well, well, well" his voice hisses at me.
Double crap.
"What do we have here?"
I can't believe my life is actually this crappy.
"Lost your tongue Miss-ss Granger?" he snarls.
I look up into his red eyes; he's just as scary as I imagined he would be. My legs have decided to turn on me and have rooted themselves to the ground.
Ah great, now I can't even make a run for it.
"Miss Granger I believe I asked you a question"
"What, oh right yeah" I completely forgot he was like talking to me for a moment there, curse you wandering mind!
He's looking at me like Ive just stood on his foot, maybe I should stand on his foot…Hmmmm.
He takes a step back as if reading my mind, which he probably is thinking about it.
"Miss Granger, come with me" he orders.
I can't though, im rooted to the spot. I literally can't move due to the shock of the situation. And he is heading back towards Snape's house and I'll be damned if im going back there.
Im going back there. Crap.
He's dragging me by the scruff of my neck, it doesn't hurt as much as I would have guessed, which is surprising. But it is uncomfortable to say the least.
Oh boy is he gona get a shock when he steps through the door.
Yep I was right. His snake-like eyes widen, (if that's possible they are barely slits) and he gasps in shock at the sight before him.
It's still quite funny, but given the present situation, y'know with Voldie being here and everything I really don't laugh, I don't even smile. Im bursting on the inside though.
All of them, all the so called Death Eaters, Voldermort's followers are all lying on a heap on the ground. All their Death Eater robes billowing about them, they look like a pile of laundry. Hehe. Now and again one will try and stand then fall flat on their face.
Marvil is going berserk he is standing on top of Lucius Malfoy who is lying over Snape, and trying to pull his master free. He is screaming "Nasty man, nasty man" as Lucius attempts to swat him.
"What is the meaning of this-ss?" our pal Voldie asks in his trademark hiss.
The entire bunch of Death Eaters look shocked to see their Lord standing before them. I see this as a good chance to wind them up further and do a mock Voldermort pose. I position my hands on my hips, tilt my head and raise an eyebrow, I know I'm gonna get killed soon.
They all look at me fuming and make pathetic attempts to dive at me, Voldie thinks they are diving at him and goes berserk. Hehehe.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he cries.
None of them can really move without falling so no one answers.
"YOU FOOL'S OUTSMARTED BY A CHILD! A MUDBLOOD CHILD"
Hey. Well that's just uncalled for. Filthy half-breed hypocrite.
Snape crawls forward.
"My Lord" he begins cowering at his feet, "she is not just any child, she is smarter than most, she has planned this, she is…"
"SILENCE" Voldermort cuts him off. He waves his wand a little bit and the wax on the floor seems to vanish allowing all the Death Eaters to stand.
I make another dash for the door, this time because im being chased by a heard of angry murders. I mean what else would I do?
All of a sudden my feet lose contact with the floor and im running mid air, like in those old cartoons when someone runs off a cliff. I look over my shoulder and see that Voldemort has his wand pointed at me. I realise that he is levitating me back to the raging mob. Admitting defeat I fall limp to enjoy the ride. There's no point struggling.
I land casually at his feet and Snape looks down his oversized nose at me. Im not sure but I swear there's a twinkle in his eye I have never seen before it's almost like he is smiling. HA, yeah right.
"My child" Voldie hisses, "Why did you do this? Are you not happy here? Im sure we could find you other accommodation if you so wish it"
"What. No. I don't want other accommodation I want to leave." I cry at him.
His thin lips turn into a smile. "Im afraid that is quite impossible, however I will let you live if you tell me where Potter is".
"Never" I spit at him, as if. "I would rather die that betray Harry".
"That can be arranged" he sneers.
"Fine" I casually tell him, I'm pretending I'm not bothered.
"You do not wish to live?" he asks rather shocked.
"Obviously I do" I tell him, still keeping my voice calm, "but I would rather die that stay here".
Oh he looks mad now. Maybe if I annoy him enough he'll kill me or at least kill Snape.
"You call these your most trusted followers?" I ask him. "The bunch of them together can't even handle one little girl" I hate calling myself a "little girl", but it has more of an effect. I mean im 18, I'm not exactly little.
"SILENCE" he cries, Oooh its working.
"No I won't." I argue back, Snape and his pals look outraged. "I have been stuck here in this hell-hole with a man who frankly can't even hold a decent conversation for longer than a minute before sulking off, you try living with that!"
"Like I said we can find you other accommodation… Lucius you take the girl" Voldermort hisses.
"Yes master, I would be delighted" he smirks at me looking like all his Christmases have come at once.
"NO" Snape yells, god knows why. "I want to keep her master". He demands.
"Im not a bloody pet" I yell at him.
"Ah but that is exactly what you are Miss Granger, have you not had your fun with Severus?" Lucius asks
What fun? Now im lost. Snape has never tried it on if that's what he means. And if that is what he means im sure Lucius would in a heartbeat. Ah crap now I've dropped myself in it.
Snape is looking down at his feet. I suddenly feel a great deal of pity for the man. The poor thing is getting scorned for not abusing me.
"Of course we have" I say I don't really know why, but I feel like I should.
"Well then why do you want to leave child?" Voldermort hisses in a mock understanding voice.
"I don't I have changed my mind, I'm staying here". I figure if I'm gonna get stuck with anyone it best be Snape. At least I know now he won't try it on, and I have my own room.
I look over at Snape, I don't know for sure and I can't be certain but I almost seems like he is grateful. His eyes are all full of thanks. Weird. Maybe he just has a piece of grit in them. Yeah that seems about right.
The group of Death Eaters and their Master walk into the living room to continue the meeting. They just leave me standing here gob smacked.
Snape was one of the last to return to the meeting, he held back. He was unusually quiet and I didn't quite know what to make of it.
Probably pissed that he is landed with me indefinitely now.
He looks up at me before shutting the door and studies my face for a moment. He looks confused.
I have no idea what goes on in that mans head I tell you. Ah well, I least I got to get a look outside. I suppose that's something, and I'm still alive.
Marvil is standing in the corner staring at me with his big yellow eyes.
"What?" I shout over to him.
Before i know whats happening I'm being chased up the stairs by and angry house elf with his teeth bared and snarling. Crap!
