Unapprehended


Severus cried out, shielding his eyes with his arm, at the wickedly bright explosion of light going off before him.

It only took him a moment to realise that the light was emanating from his own hand, or rather . . . a simple silver band Lucius had given him. . .

Severus warily lowered his arm to look at the Aurors that had been attempting to capture him, who had been flattened and knocked unconscious, apparently by whatever spell the ring had released.

He glared at the thing, which was sitting innocently on his finger, shining just like the piece of ordinary - though fine - metal it obviously wasn't.

"Lucius." Severus grit his teeth, growling low in his throat. "You have some serious explaining to do about this." he muttered to himself, preparing to Apparate.

Worse than trying to get a straight answer out of Lucius regarding the gift, and his ulterior motives for it . . . Severus now had to thank the insufferable man.

Almost an afterthought, Severus cast a complex little charm that would erase any trace of his magical signature from the scene.

He needn't even Obliviate the Aurors, as they had never seen beyond his mask, and wouldn't even have a vague description.
