The Other Spy
Chapter Eighteen
The Return of Sirius
Severus laid Harry down on the couch in his private chambers. He looked at the young man and began to pace in thought his black robes blowing behind him. 'Black's dead. He fell through the veil nearly two years ago.' he turned on his heels. 'What if the Dark Lord has found away to bring Black back from the veil? What if it's a trap like last time to get him from the castle. I wasn't quick enough to inform the Order last time. I can't do that again. It would kill Harry this time for sure.' he turned on his heels. 'What to do? I can't tell Hermione. If she's called he'll know. But,' he stopped suddenly in his tracks, 'Harry does tell Hermione each time he has a vision and a dream to help try to understand it's meaning. If Black is alive we must get him out of there before his killed. Again. This is a mess.' he snatched a bottle of Fire Whiskey from the book shelf. 'If only I wasn't discovered. Who turned me in anyway? It had to be someone from the school. Damn it who was it?' he sat down on in his favorite arm chair.
Severus poured himself glass of Fire Whiskey and sat the bottle down on the table. He needed to start training Harry soon. The sooner the better. He wanted him trained before the Dark Lord's heir was born. Severus shuttered at the thought. He threw back the amber liquid and closed his eyes and let the burn roll down his throat.
"Severus." he turned and looked at the fire and saw Lucius's head in the fireplace. "Black is at the Dark Lord's hideout. Some how he was able to retrieve Black. What's Mr. Potter doing on the couch?"
"He saw Black when his scar flared up. So it's true what Harry saw?" Lucius raised a brow at Severus use of the wizard's given name and nodded.
"Give Hermione the news. She will be needed tonight. I have no luck on finding out who turned you in. I'm still on the search. Whom ever it is they're not at the gatherings. The Dark Lord is meeting him in private. I must go. Watch over Potter." Lucius told him and his head vanished from the fire.
Harry opened his eyes and looked around and noticed he was in the Head of Slytherin House chambers. He slowly sat up and rubbed his scar. Severus handed him a glass of Fire Whiskey. He took the glass with a small thank you.
"Harry, Lucius just conformed that Black is indeed back. The Dark Lord had found away to get Black. I don't know how or why. He is back." he only nodded. "I don't know what shape he is in or anything. But all I know is that he is back and is a captive." Harry nodded and downed his drink.

Hermione and Luicus swept into the main hall and found Voldemort on his throne. They were the only one's in the room. Lucius and Hermione bowed and kissed the hem of his robes. Voldemort extended his hand to Hermione and helped to her feet. Lucius rose to full height.
"Now, tell me my pet. Did Potter fall the vision I gave him earlier today?" Voldemort hissed.
"Yes my lord he did. He told me himself." Hermione told him in truth.
"Good. Good. I'm very pleased." he rose from his throne and ran his hand across her growing belly. "He is strong. He will be most powerful." Hermione smiled and rested a hand over his cold hand. Voldemort placed a forceful kiss on her lips. He pulled back. "And here is the man of the hour." Sirius was shoved to the stone floor. "Look my pet. The great Sirius Black at my feet."
Hermione rolled him on his back with her high heeled black shoe. Sirius looked up into Hermione's face. "Mmmm…yes I agree my lord. He is exactly where he needs to be. At your Mersey and thankful you pulled him from the hell."
"Hermione! What have you done!" Sirius cried in shock at seeing his godson's best friend at Voldemort's side.
"Silence!" she yelled and struck him with a cutting hex. She supported her back. "You shall be grateful Black for my lord's generosity." she flicked her wand and he floated in front of her. "Now Black listen well. Join my lord's ranks or you shall be killed."
"I'd rather die!"
"So feisty for a man that's just been brought back from the dead." Voldemort laughed evilly and allowed her to continue and he sat down on his throne. "Black the reason behind your return is simple. It's bring my dear little best friend from behind the safety of Hogwarts."
"You disgust me Hermione!" he spit in her face.
She rubbed the spit from her face. "You instantly little bastard!" she flicked her wand and threw up against the wall and he was chained by his wrist and ankles. She walked up to the man and lend over to his ear. "Sirius, I am a the other spy." She whispered. "Lucius and I will find away to get you out of here."
"What happened to Snape? He would just love this!"
Hermione struck him across the face. "He's a traitor! How dare you speak of him!" she turned to Voldemort. "I've grown tried of him. He has refused to your cause my lord." she quickly cast a protect charm to make him appear to bleed and scream out in pain.
"Than the others my have their fun." Voldemort motioned to the other death eaters and Hermione took her seat next to her lord. He held an evil smirk on his face. He was allowing Harry to see the entire scene unfold.

Harry tossed and turned in his bed. Severus sat in a chair next to his bed concealed by a charm. Harry gripped his sheets until his knuckles turned white and his face and shirt becoming soak in his sweat. He shot straight up breathing heavily. He rubbed his face with his hands. He grabbed the map and whispered the charm and unfolded the map. He sighed when he didn't see Hermione's name in the castle.
"Return safe Mione and try to bring Padfoot back with you." he whispered. He folded up the map and stuck back under his pillow with his wand. He laid back down on his pillow. "Are you sill here Professor?" Severus squeezed Harry's hand so he wouldn't wake the sleeping students. "Thank you," and tried to go back to sleep.

Lucius threw Sirius into a cell in the basement. He closed it behind him and walked up to the wizard. He pulled out his wand and made a copy of his body to appear like he had kill his self. "That should do it. Now let's get you to Hogwarts." he helped Sirius up and concealed him. They left the dungeons.
Hermione waited outside the hideout for the men. She sighed heavily and supported her back. Her feet hurt and her back her. The only thing she wanted was to lay down and get some sleep. She spotted a black hooded person walk through the back door. Just before the person walked through the door she saw his face. Ron Weasely!
Lucius come outside and walked over to Hermione. He grabbed onto Sirius's shoulder and the trio left Voldemort's hideout.

They appeared in front of Hogwarts gate. Hermione took several deep breaths. Even with all the charms that were placed on the child it still bothered her to travel. She grabbed onto the gate emptied her stomach. Lucius rubbed her back gently. Hermione cradled her stomach gently waiting for the spinning to stop.
"It's getting worse Lucius." Hermione whispered and took several deep breaths. They stepped through the safety of the gates.
Severus walked up to the group and wrapped his arm around her waist for support. "It's alright darling. It's alright."
"You tell that to the baby Severus Snape!" Hermione snapped. He chuckled. "Don't you even start! I am in no mood for you right now. My back hurts and I'm exhausted so don't even start!" he only smirked at his lover. "Stop your damn smirking right now!" she heard the men laughed. "You two shut it right now before I hex you into the next century! They stepped into the entrance hall.
"Mood swings aren't they lovely."
"Don't start Minerva!"
"I'll take her to your chambers my dear." Minerva said gently and quietly lead her away from the men.

Albus sat behind his desk. He offered Harry a lemon drop. He shook his head. He sat waiting for Sirius to walk through the headmaster's office door. He turned and watched the door. Harry slowly rose when he heard a knock on the door. Albus called 'enter,' and the door opened. Severus, Lucius walked into the office. Lucius removed the charm off of the wizard.
"Sirius!" Harry ran to his godfather and he wrapped his arms around his neck. Sirius smiled and held him close.
