Snape was in a hurry. He was supposed to meet Bellatrix and Lucius to discuss, as Lucius put it, the "fine details" of their plan to capture Tonks. Snape of course already informed Dumbledore and the Order had a counter plan fully prepared.

He was almost to the door when Sirius stepped in front of him just as Tonks had but unlike her Snape did not think Sirius was cute and instead found himself greatly annoyed.

"I know what you've done Snape and I'll kill you for it." Sirius snarled at him drawing his wand but Snape was quicker.

"Expelliarmus." Sirius' wand flew from his hand but that didn't detour him, if anything he appeared even more willing to fight.

"I do not know what you are referring to; Black and I don't particularly care. I haven't' the time to waste in your presence." When Snape tried to push past him Sirius grabbed his robes.

"You Bastard. How can you use her like that? I saw you last night with Nymphadora and the things you were making her do."

Snape almost laughed but controlled the urge to do so.

"I made her do nothing. She came to me last night and for your information what you saw was just a taste of the things we've done."

How he loved rubbing it in that he had the girl Sirius never believed he could. Except, thinking of her made his heart ache. She would never truly be his.

"You liar!" Sirius spat at him. "She would never touch you of her own free will. You used a potion on her. She means nothing to you; she's just a hot, wet, little pussy you think you can screw anytime you choose."

Slamming Sirius against the wall Snape jammed the point of his wand against his throat.

"You know nothing."

Using much restraint he pulled back leaving Sirius massaging his throat and swept out of Grimmauld Place.

Snape Apparated directly to the clearing in which he had agreed to meet Lucius and Bellatrix. Though it was day the tree branches entwined above let through very little light. They were there waiting for him along with a few others they had let in on the plan.

He had barely appeared before them when Bellatrix waved her wand. Snape was thrown back hard against a tree. He didn't understand. Why were they attacking him?

Lucius shouted "Incarcerous!"And ropes bound him to the tree.

He then dug though Snape's robes until he found his wand which he tossed to Bellatrix. Snape didn't bother to struggle, knowing it would be pointless. Instead he straightened his posture best he could and demanded to know what was going on.

"What is the meaning of this? This is far from our plan."

"Ah," Bellatrix leaned in close to him. "but this is a better plan." She smiled wickedly. "We've found out you're a spy."

Snape shivered. This was it, he was living his nightmares. He knew what would happen next.

"At least," Lucius cut in. "that's what we told that dear girl Nymphdora Tonks and she'll come to save you."

Snape felt slightly better knowing his treachery hadn't truly been discovered. Also, he knew Dora, she wouldn't come here alone.

"She won't show." Snape snarled. "And even if she did she would bring with her the entire Order of the Phoenix." Bellatrix let out a sharp cackle.

"She'll show!" she shrieked excitedly. Then her voice dropped suddenly to a whisper. "And she'll come alone. The Order has been taken care of and Dumbledore is at Harry Potter's hearing. She'll show up, alone, because she loves you."

She jumped up from his side laughing.

"The silly little witch actually loves you!" it seemed she found this exceptionally funny.

Lucius sighed. "Bellatrix believes this to be so. Let us hope she is right, it's the only way our plan will work."
