A/N: I bet yall had nightmares last night wondering what Voldemort was going to do to lure Sev and Harry to him...still not gonna tell ya! But it will be revealed in the very beginning of this chapter! You'll still never believe who saves their lives!

Chapter 29

Lucius Malfoy crept silently along in the woods until he was just outside Severus's wards. Bellatrix was right behind him.

"Bella, you know what to do right?"

"Yes, Lucius, I'll break into Snape's wards; since he has Identification Charms he'll know it's me. he'll come out, and I'll run back here, he'll follow me, and then and you'll Imperio him. I didn't skip anything did I?" she asked.

"Bella, it's a relief to have you here instead of Lockhart," Lucius replied.

Bellatrix rolled her eyes, "Lets get a move on Lucius, we won't have much time!"

Severus woke up instantly. Someone was breaking into his wards.

"Who?" he whispered quietly, and a wisp of smoke appeared in front of him. It spelled out Bellatrix Lestrange.

Severus got out of bed and headed downstairs; he would take care of Bellatrix himself.

As soon as he was outside, he saw her hurrying back to the edge of the woods. She must've realized she activated my wards. He thought to himself. But then another thought came to him. What if she brought others? I can't let them into the wards! He realized it would've been irrational for Bella to have simply come and gone, and so he hurried after her as fast as he could. When he got to the edge of the woods, however, he saw Lucius Malfoy smiling evily at him.

"Wha-?" he was about to ask, but Lucius stopped him with one word.

"Imperio!"
