Title: Good-bye Hellmouth, pt 6

&&&&

The end of year came and Faith and Buffy graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with sufficient grades. Dumbledore was no where close to getting them back to their day and time so Buffy and Faith dealt with it the only way they could. They fought against the forces of darkness.

Bellatrix's wedding to Rodolphus Lestrange was among the first of many death eater weddings. Faith was apart of the wedding – with whining and everything – along side with Narcissa, Rabastan Lestrange and Lucius.

Several other weddings happened within the first year out of Hogwarts between all of the housemates. Lucius and several others got well paying and respected jobs at the Ministry of Magic. James, Sirius, Lily (who was going to be Potter soon) and Peter enrolled for auror classes and began training. Because of Remus' lycanthropy he couldn't join the auror classes and set out to find something he could do.

It was a year and a half after graduating when the dark Lord called all his death eaters to talk about the chosen two. The meeting lasted almost two hours before everyone, minus Lucius, was allowed to leave.

Lucius knew full well what the pros of having the slayers on their side, but he also knew that they wouldn't mentally be able to handle killing humans. Plus, he liked Faith and didn't want to put her through that. He, of course when asked, mentioned that he had asked but that she declined on account of 'been there, done that, got the scars.'

The dark Lord hadn't appreciated the humor and punished him severely for lack of seriousness with the situation. Then he sent Lucius out to try once more. Lucius internally sighed and bowed once more before leaving the meeting place behind.

With a fleeting thought Lucius apparated straight into the slayers flat and looked around the room. "Faith." He called, his mask was removed along with his robes were discarded on the slayers couch.

"Hey, Lu." Faith greeted wearing nothing but a dark blue towel as she exited the bathroom. The towel, of course, left little to the imagination as her tan legs peaked out along with her tan shoulders. "Give me a minute."

"Of course." He said trying not to look too much. Sure they'd gotten together, physically, but that was because she was randy and he was there. It had been a slow rush for the two and they continued to release their frustrations on the other.

Minutes later she exited her room wearing black dragon hide pants with a green scoop neck short sleeve shirt and her black ankle boots. "What's up, Lu?" She questioned pulling her long brown hair into a ponytail. "I meetin' B for quick patrol."

"This shouldn't take up too much time." Lucius replied confidently. "I don't know where to start." He sighed after thinking about what he was going to say sitting down on their warn couch.

"Tea?" She offered. "I'll call B tell her to go solo if you'd like?"

"Thank you." He nodded. He didn't know what he was nervous for. Joining the dark Lord, getting power and money had been his dream since he was younger, but then she came. She was, Faith McRae, a muggle to the extreme but powerful nonetheless.

Faith called Buffy and explained that Lu came over and to go without her. Buffy said that she was with Lil and James who had just gotten engaged. Faith came out with two cups of tea, both of which had a lemon and a touch of firewhiskey after hanging up the phone. "Here. Now what's got you so wound up?"

Lucius smirked fondly at Faith's ability to be caviler when the situation was serious. Though she didn't know it was serious, but it was still amusing. "This doesn't go beyond us."

Faith's attention was brought to the fort at the five simple words. "Of course, we are after all Slytherins."

"And we stick together." He finished smirking. "Most of our fellow housemates have joined Lord Voldemort." He started before explaining everything the dark Lord wanted of him. How he wanted Faith to join his ranks. He also told her how he didn't want that for her, having heard bits and pieces of her past and seen the scar across her stomach.

"The way you speak of him, it would seem as if you were trying to convince me of something." Faith replied after he'd finished his story. "So tell me what happens next."

"What do you mean?"

"Well obviously you can't just go back without me, he could torture and/or kill you so we need a plan. I've seen the big evil before, it never ends well."

Lucius glared at her momentarily before understanding her point of view. "I see your point." He replied finishing his tea. "The Dark Lord has given me ample time to…convince you."

Faith raised an eyebrow seeing the lust in his icy gaze. She felt strangely turned on by that look upon the handsome face of her friend. He had that ability over her and for a moment she didn't mind. "My dear Lucius, are you trying to seduce me?"

"Of course I am, my dear Slayer." He smirked running his tongue across his lower lip slowly in a way she adored, his eyes never leaving hers.

Faith watched his pink tongue tease his full lower lip and felt her cheeks flush with desire. Standing she moved back into the kitchen. The flat she and Buffy shared was a nice one bought by the council themselves. Granted they didn't know it but that was half the fun.

It was a two bedroom, one bathroom, and 1600 square feet with a small training area in the corner of their relatively large family room. They'd gotten cheep furniture knowing that at anytime they could go back to the year 2003 and wouldn't need it anymore.

Lucius followed her into the kitchen where he cornered against the cabinets. He knew she could take him down, but knew she wouldn't. He leaned towards her and at the last minute she turned so that her back was to him. "Oh come now, Slayer." He whispered huskily in her ear. "Why so shy?" He questioned against her neck.

"That's not fair, Lu." She whispered, sighing softly as his cold hands touched her warm skin. Without meaning to, she leaned back into him. "You fight dirty, you know that?" She replied feeling his teeth leaving bite marks on her neck.

"Mmmm." He moaned his fingers on one hand touched the smooth, flat skin of her stomach the other was playing with her hair. In a fluid movement he turned her around and his lips met hers.

About then is when Faith joined in and her hands found his chest. She unbuttoned his shirt pulling away to look at his pale, lean form. She saw that his icy gaze had gone darker before he pulled her into him again. He was taller than her by at least two heads, the perfect height for him to have fun with.

She led him blindly through the flat to the first door on the right. The bathroom was on the left and Buffy's room was straight down the hallway. Faith's room was done in dark green and black. Buffy's was done in softer colors like cream and champagne.

Lucius' knees hit Faith's bed and he stopped, pulling away from her lips. He removed her tank top along with her pants and his own. In complete lustfulness they fell onto her bed in a heap.

Hours later, Lucius emerged from Faith's room closing the door behind him with care. They never stayed together after their lustful sex and tonight was no different. He quietly picked up his cloak and mask before apparating back to Malfoy Manor.

Around eight the next morning Faith woke up and remembered what Lucius had told her. Dressing in a pair of low-rise, flare, blue jeans and a white t-shirt she left her room and walked into the bathroom. She finished her morning routine before floo-ing Albus around ten.

"Albus, I've got a problem." Faith said once Albus' came into view.

"Ah, Ms. McRae, what seems to be the problem?" Albus asked from a chair in front of the fireplace.

"I've been approached." Faith said knowing he'd know what she meant.

It wasn't that she or Buffy were apart of the Order, they did help in anyway they could. They tried to stay neutral as they're minds couldn't handle killing people. They did however; have a spell placed on them so that they couldn't repeat anything that they knew about the existence of the Order. No matter the torture or true potions or Imperio that was put on them.

"Really?" He questioned sounding slightly shocked. "When? Who?"

"When was last night, and who isn't important. But I've got to do something Albus, if they go back to Voldie, he'll kill or torture them and I can't live with that on my head." Faith told him seriously.

"I fear there isn't much that we can do." Albus replied. "You could go into spy work for the Order but as for killing muggles…I don't know."

Faith thought about it. She remembered the last time she killed a man, Angel had been there for her. But now, if she absolutely had to, she knew how to handle things. "I'm going to do it." She said before adding, "And don't worry about the muggles."

Albus sighed. "Are you sure about this?" He asked. "I do not want to risk a warrior of the light because of this."

"If anything, B can handle me." Faith replied finalizing the agreement. "I'll be in contact." She said before disappearing out of his fireplace.

"May you be able to withstand the lure power." Albus sighed staring at the empty fireplace.

"I don't like it?" Buffy said bluntly after Faith explained the what.

"Didn't think you would." Faith replied knowing what was coming next.

"What are you gaining by playing spy?"

"The lives of muggles, muggle-born witches and wizards." The brunette answered after a few moments thought.

"What if you're caught?"

"Won't be."

"What if?" Buffy stressed feeling that she should be the voice of reason that Giles or Angel usually was. "We don't know if we're capable of dying in this world." She reminded hating the uncertainty of it all.

"Remember –"

"Oh god, you're going to talk logic." The blond interrupted. "There's no way I can talk you out of this, is there?" She inquired after a few moments of silence.

"Sorry, Buff." Faith said softly. "It's just something I've got to do. But I need you to be my anchor."

Buffy sat for a moment watching her sister slayer before standing. She held her hand out, waited for the brunette to grab it, before pulling her off of the seat and hugging her. "I'm here and I'll be your anchor."

Faith was initiated into the death eater upper ranks, not too much later, because of the strength she wielded. Her left forearm was marked, but because of her roommate she kept long sleeves on at all times that she was with Buffy and the Gryffindors that she sometimes hung out with.

Several months of raids were planned, and only some of them fouled by the mysterious Order of Phoenix. She was at a death eater meeting when they'd heard about a prophecy so she paid careful attention.

Once she was dismissed she and Lucius left heading back to the manor for a few drinks. "Hey Cissa." Faith greeted the lovely blond who seemed to be catching up in age. Lucius and Narcissa had been married shortly after he brought Faith to the 'dark side' as a sort of reward for his right hand man.

"Hello Faith." Narcissa greeted back; her stomach was thin even though she'd recently had a little baby boy, Draco Xavier Malfoy, the Malfoy heir. "I wasn't aware that you were a death eater."

"Well ya know me." Faith shrugged.

"I do." Narcissa replied knowing exactly what she meant.

After a short visit Faith disapparated out of the manor, to her flat dropping off her death eater garb before going to Hogs Head. From there she casually walked the short distance to Hogwarts. Spending almost a full year at Hogwarts and then having Lucius and the other Slytherins teaching her magic she aced the apparation test.

Once in the hallways she quickly she walked down towards the third floor wearing her black silk dress that went under her black velvet death eater robes. Whispering the password to the gargoyle that guarded Dumbledore's office she quickly climbed the spiral staircase.

"Ms. McRae." Dumbledore greeted smiling softly. "Any news?" He questioned gesturing for her to take a seat.

"Very little, Albus." She sighed, slouching in the seat, crossing her arms and legs. "Voldie has heard a prophecy regarding his downfall."

Dumbledore's blue eyes got wide loosing their twinkle. How could he possibly have heard about that? He knew that he was the only one in the room when the seer saw it. "How?"

"I don't know, sir." Faith answered honestly. "The death eater that spilled the news Voldie called him 'Wormtail', which is a name I'm unfamiliar with." She added pensively. "The voice sounds familiar, but none of us are unmasked during summons and I can't approach him without some one figuring out."

"I see." He replied thoughtfully. "I must warn the Order."

"See to it that you do." Faith agreed. "Because if my calculations are correct, Lils is the one that it pertains to."
