Hello and I hope you guys all welcome me back with open arms! I haven't updated fanfiction in about four years, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Okay just as a reminder: I wrote this fic when I was 15, which meant that the fifth book had just come out. EVERYTHING is written out according to the history up to the OotP. This chapter took me several hours to prepare for, because I calculated ages. My notebook has several pages of years and quotes to show what, at the time, I believed was an accurate portrayal of what could have happened when it came to the Death Eaters.
Some responses to my reviews:
Sally: You will probably hate me for a lot of the things I do to Sev/Sirius' relationship, but I think it's a pretty great fic.
Absynth Fairy: I hope you're now hooked on Sev/Siri and you can't get away from it.
Mini-kero: Continuing now
Oni-Baka: After I've got this typed up, I want you to read "Peter's Story". It's kind of a sympathy fic about Peter and what caused him to actually become a Death Eater. I've only written one chapter but it's really fantastic (I think so at least!).
Hipa: I chased the feeling of making Remus a hated character, just because I wanted to see him break from his stereotype in most fics.
Bluerose24: It's now updated! Sorry it took me so long! I saw your review last year and I looked EVERYWHERE for this stupid notebook I wrote this in and it was nowhere to be found!
ON WITH THE FIC
Chapter 3: Eternal
"Sev!" called Bellatrix. "What attacked you?"
Severus spun around. "Get me the worst curse you can find, Bella. If you can't help me, then I'll kill him with my bare hands."
Bellatrix appeared surprised, and then grinned. "Going to kill Potter, now?"
"Not Potter." Severus snarled. "Are you going to help me or not?"
"If it has to do with great pain, followed by death of almost any student, I'm there." She said.
"Good. Let's go." He grabbed her wrist and set off for the Slytherin Common Room.
"Will you explain this to me now? Who are you going to kill and why?" Bellatrix asked when they sat on Severus' bed with a pile of Dark Arts books resting on the floor.
"Lupin." Severus spat, wrinkling his nose when he said his name.
"Goody Two-Shoes Quartet Boy?" Bellatrix asked. "Why not Pettigrew or Potter, or even my dear cousin, Sirius?"
He twitched at Sirius' name. "No, none of them. Those three I can…deal with. Both Lupin needs to die for what he just did."
"Which would be what?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
Severus laughed harshly. "You don't even want to know."
"Well, let's get started. You remember Avada Kedavra?" she replied.
"Yes." Severus pointed his wand at a spider crawling about. "Avada Kedavra!"
A small flash of green light came out from his wand and immediately killed the spider. Bellatrix laughed. "That was weak. You'd only knock a person unconscious."
"Did I hear an Unforgiveable Curse?" asked a boy.
"Hello dear Regulus. And I see you've brought Rosier and Wilkes with you!" Bellatrix said in a honey-sweet voice.
Rosier and Wilkes were both seventh years completely immersed in the dark arts. Along with Bellatrix and Rodolphus, they had encountered a middle-aged wizard in the drug trades. He had persuaded them to consider a "meeting" with a few other grown wizards. Bellatrix had been preaching nothing but this for the past month to their group. This man taught Bellatrix many curses, and helped her master the Unforgivable Curses.
Rosier smiled lightly at Bellatrix, but then turned to Severus. "Sev, if you want to get a good cruse on that Lupin boy, you should go see our friend."
"Who's he?" Severus asked.
"His name is Tom. And he's done a lot of things." Wilkes replied, grinning.
"Like what?"
"Like, opened the Chamber of Secrets. And now, he's putting spells and enchantments on himself. And we're going to be on His side when he rises to power and snuffs every Muggle and Mudblood in the world." Bellatrix let out a laugh.
Severus looked down. "Where can I meet this man?"
"He'll be in Hogsmeade in the Shrieking Shack tonight." Rosier replied.
"We're having a few others come too." added Wilkes.
"Like who?" Severus asked.
"Well, Barty was VERY interested and we're bringing Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Avery for now. And all of us." Regulus added.
"There are some grown wizards coming too." Bellatrix chimed in.
"Lucius Malfoy was with him when we met Tom." Rosier's eyes bulged out in excitement.
"You're joking me!" Lucius Malfoy, who's in the Ministry, in the head party with the Minister?" Severus asked.
"Yep. He's in the league with Tom." Wilkes replied.
"And Rookwood and Dolohov, too." Regulus put in for emphasis. "This Tom wants to be in full power, and to get rid of those Mudbloods is his main goal."
"Would he kill Muggle lovers like Potter?" Severus asked curiously.
"Yes." All of them answered in unison.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Severus asked, standing up. "Its nearly sunset."
They all grabbed the others, and the nine of them snuck over to the Whomping Willow. Rosier dove for a knot in the tree, froze it, and beckoned the others to follow through a hole.
"I discovered this in my 3rd year." Rosier whispered to them. "There's definitely a reason behind this."
"I wish I knew." Wilkes added.
They continued in silence. Then, at last, they approached a door. "Be very quiet and don't speak unless spoken to." Hissed Bellatrix, and then knocked on the door.
"Come in." replied an icy voice that made Severus shiver all over.
The door opened. A good-looking man in hismid-30s sat in a chair. He had dark hair, very pale skin, tall, and had red slits for eyes.
Severus, Crouch, Rabastan, and Avery all widened their eyes. The other five grinned.
The man walked up to Bellatrix and embraced her like a daughter. "You have been well?" he asked in the most sincere voice he could have.
She grinned widely. "I've brought others, Master." She said.
"Very good. What are your names?" he asked.
"Rabastan Lestrange." Rabastan said and bowed.
"Lestrange…I knew your father before he died. I hope you're just as much like him as Rodolphus was." Tom said, nodding.
"I'm Alec Avery. You were my father's school friend." Avery said.
"Ah yes. I remember you when you were just a child. You've grown much." Tom said.
"Thank you, sir." Avery answered.
"My name is Crouch. Barty Crouch." The sandy-haired boy said.
Tom did a double-take at his name. "Crouch, you say?"
"Yes, the one with the scumbag father. The one who cares more about his career than family." Barty said harshly.
Tom surveyed Crouch up and down. "You will no doubt be useful to me, as long as you pledge full allegiance to me."
"I would to no other." Crouch said, bowing.
"And you – what's your name?" Tom asked, turning to Severus.
"Severus Snape." He said, shakily.
"Ah yes. You have a striking resemblance to your father, but you've got your mother's eyes." Tom said, staring at Severus.
"You knew my father?" he asked.
"I did. Traitorous little bastard." He commented with a smile. "He left your mother all alone to raise you."
Severus didn't know what to say. This man had to be skilled in Legimency, for hardly anyone knew that his father had abused him and his mother, and then left, only to get himself blown up by Aurors. "I – I – " he sputtered.
"You're in great pain, boy. You have a lot of potential, just learn to squash your mortal pain and wreak vengeance on those who've scorned you."
Severus' mind jumped to Remus and Sirius. Tom laughed. This man could definitely read minds.
Another knock sounded. "Who is it?" Tom asked, looking rather bored.
"Its who you've called for." Came a drawling voice.
"Lucius, come on in." Tom said.
Lucius Malfoy entered the room. While a very good looking man, his eyes held a coldness like Tom's.
Three more men followed him. The four adults all bowed, and said, "Hello Master."
"Who are these kids?" Lucius asked, looking at the nine.
"Allow me to introduce everyone. This is Evan Rosier and Wilkes, seventh year students at Hogwarts. This is Regulus Black, Barty Crouch, and Alec Avery, all fifth years at Hogwarts. This is Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange, Severus Snape, and Bellatrix Black, who are all sixth years at Hogwarts. You lot, this is Antonin Dolohov, Augustus Rookwood, Theodore Nott, and Lucius Malfoy. All of these men work in the Ministry, and were very interested when one Auror turned up dead." Tom said with a hint of a smile playing at his lips.
"You thirteen have been the first I have called to. We have you four working at the Ministry and you nine to help me find more worthy servants such as yourselves. I will soon no longer be called Tom." He said, eyeing Bellatrix for a few seconds. "From now on, you will address me as Lord Voldemort. I will no longer maintain my father's name.
"We will keep meeting – here for now - and I shall give you more instructions. I will also teach the students some rather useful hexes." Voldemort added and smiled at Bellatrix. On a more personal note, I should tell you that I had the pleasure of meeting the two Blacks two years ago in France. I've personally trained Bellatrix in every curse I believe her capable of using. I have a feeling she may be my most faithful servant."
Bellatrix surged forward, kissed the hem of his robes, and said, "Thank you, Master."
"Very well. I will allow all of you to 'mingle' here and get to know one another." Voldemort said mockingly. "However, I would like to speak to Mr. Snape alone."
The students immediately hailed the adults and began to chat animatedly with each other. Meanwhile, Severus walked forward and couldn't stop shaking.
Voldemort smiled. "No need to be afraid. Come, sit down." He offered Serverus a chair and he sat down. "Now, your life story has really stuck out from these others."
"How do you know – " Severus started but Voldemort interrupted.
"There's no question that you know I can read minds. What help do you need?"
"What?" Severus asked incredulously.
"What was a low thing Mr. black and Mr. Lupin did to you. And I'm sure you'd like them to pay." Voldemort said sympathetically.
Severus glanced at Voldemort. "You want to help me?"
"But of course. I know how much that hurts too." He said smiling. "Now, how do you want them to die?"
"Them?"
"Both of them, yes." Voldemort replied.
"I'd really just rather kill Lupin. The thought of him kissing Sirius just disgusts me."
"Yes, especially since that boy has incredible potential."
"I understand that, but I really just want Lupin dead and Sirius mine." Severus answered.
"If you get me what I want, then I'll do that for you." Voldemort whispered excitedly.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Your allegiance to me and a promise you can't back out of alive."
"And what would that promise be?" Severus asked excitedly.
"That you will serve me forever."
"Done." Severus said.
"No, I don't want you to do this yet. I want you to think about what this will mean first. Then, I want you to call to me when you have made your decision."
"How do I do that?" Severus asked.
"You will notice that Bellatrix, Rosier, and Wilkes all have something burned into their upper left arm. I'm going to do the same to you. Lift up your sleeve." Voldemort demanded. Severus did so.
"Now, this may hurt a bit, but don't worry, its very useful." He said as he traced something onto his arm.
Severus looked down. It was a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. There was no paid. But then, after Voldemort had tapped the tattoo, it felt as if hot tongs fresh from the fire had stabbed him and wasn't pulling out of his flesh.
And then the pain was gone as soon as it started. He looked down again and saw that the mark was red.
"I welcome you, Severus Snape, into my circle of Death Eaters."
"Come on Padfoot, you can't sleep all night! Let's try the potions out!" James begged.
"Oh leave him alone." Peter stepped in. "Look at him, it looks like a poor lost puppy. Give him a chance to find himself."
James blinked. "What?"
"Peter, thanks for believing in me, but that didn't really help me." Sirius replied.
Remus was watching the three talk. Sirius had been very strange since about noon. He decided to stay in as well. "Prongs, Wormtail, how about you two go nick some food from the kitchens and come back in a few hours after I'm done talking to Padfoot?"
James smiled at the idea of getting food and Peter gave Sirius a good luck grin and then the two walked away, discussing how James' date went the night before.
Remus gave a great sigh and sat next to Sirius' body on his bed. "What's wrong?"
Sirius laughed. "I don't know. I guess that's what's really wrong." He took Remus' hand.
"You look really sad." Remus said. "Maybe you need cheering up." He thought aloud, leaned down, and kissed Sirius fully on the lips.
His hands moved down and unfastened Sirius' jeans. Sirius pulled them off and pulled Remus' pants off as well. Still kissing, they removed their robes.
The two tried to stay as close to each other, to frantically become one. Their kisses became more forceful, more needy as if they let go of each other, they would die.
Now with each kiss came a moan from one of them. They removed their shirts and underclothes quickly, as this meant they had to pull away shortly. They continued kissing and then Remus rolled Sirius on his back.
He slowly put himself into Sirius and thrust. With each thrust, Sirius moaned louder.
Then came the climax. It was silent at first, and both boys cried out in ecstasy as they both came at the same time.
Remus pulled himself out and lay down next to Sirius, both breathing heavily.
Sirius turned to Remus and kissed him gently on the lips. "I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." Came a different voice next to him.
Sirius looked at the boy next to him and opened his eyes widely.
Severus Snape was lying down next to him, completely naked and panting.
END OF CHAPTER 3
N/A: Whootwhoot! Cliffies! Well, reading back through this, it is fairly obvious I was a virgin when I wrote this and had read WAY too much V.C. Andrews. In any case, please review! I have this whole story finished but I am planning on editing a fair amount of it to have it make more sense, as this next chapter is fairly confusing.
Yay for editing!
Oh, and "Eternal" doesn't have any lyrics.
