I do not in any way own that which is the wonderful world of Harry Potter or the world of Charmed. Those belong to J.K. Rowling and the WB. I am just having Fun with a place they created for us.

Chapter 6

Interim Chapter

The street was dark and deserted the only source of light came from the dimly lit lamps, that hung from the top of there poles. On this street a lone figure appeared; taking only a moment to collect himself and his bearings; he set off down the lamp lit lane. The figure was clad in all black; the only thing that wasn't was his white mask that was covered in what seemed to be ritualistic markings, and his walking was done with such grace that it seemed as if the figure was all but floating down the lane, his black cloak billowing in the non-existent wind.

He came to the end of the lane and was facing what seemed to be and open field; but he knew better, for he knew that behind all of the enchantments and magic there was a house. And no sooner had he thought this when out of nowhere a building seemingly slid into being.

The house; no; Mansion stood four stories high, the building was what looked like to be of stone that seemed to be a dark as obsidian. The building was surrounded by a large hedge, which was met with a wrought iron fence that only met the hedge half way up.

The figure; smiling; made his way through the gate and up the stone laid path to the Mansion. As the figure drew closer he chose this moment to glance upwards at the coat of arms adorning the archway just above the mahogany double doors. As he came up to the doors he pulled back the sleeve of his cloak and lightly touched the tattoo that was on his left forearm. Just as he did the doors opened welcoming the visitor inside.

"You're late" a voice sounded

"That is to be none of your concern; Macnair" the figure stated.

"He; will not be pleased that you are late" Macnair said as if he had not heard what the figure had just said.

"The Dark Lord knows that I cannot always come when he calls; so if you have a problem you should take it up with him" The figure replied

"Your think your so special don't you Severus; being able to come whenever you please, acting like you are in favor with the Dark Lord" Walden Macnair said malice dripping from his voice

"I do not act; Macnair; I just happened to not get overtaken by a bunch of Hogwarts school children. Who by the way you all should have been able to take care of but you failed" Snape said "Now step aside for if you make me even more late for my meeting with the Dark Lord I will be forced to tell him who delayed me even longer from giving him my news; and we both know you would not like the results."

Macnair paled at this and turned to walk down the hall to another set of double doors; as he opened them Snape could see the throne like chair that had the body of Lord Voldemort sitting in it as a king would his throne.

"Ah; Severus; what news do you bring me today" The Dark Lord asked

"Some of the best my Lord" Snape said bowing so low it seemed as if his hook nose would be touching the floor.

"Come forward and tell me of this news" Voldemort said motioning for Severus to come closer

"Well my Lord I have just found out that the Potter brat no longer has a guard on his house" Snape said

"That news is most good Severus; pull together a team and go retrieve him now"

"I do not wish to tell my Lord what to do; however I feel that would be a very unwise move" Snape said cowering under the glare he was now receiving

"And why would that be; do you think my plan would fail; or that you better suited to lead us" Voldemort sneered

"Nothing of the sort my Lord; it is just that not hours ago the boy seemed to just; vanish; from his room; Dumbledore has now sent people to go and try to find him, they have no idea where he is" Snape said bowing even lower.

Lord Voldemort sat there for a moment stroking the head of his pet snake; who had just slithered into the room.

"This is good news indeed Severus; you will be greatly rewarded for this; but for now I wish for you to return and see what other information you can get for your Lord." Voldemort said "For the battle at the ministry; while invigorating, it did cost me more energy than I would have liked"

"Yes my Lord; for I only wish to serve" Severus said bowing low once more

"Oh; and Severus"

"Yes my Lord" Snape answered

"If you fail to bring me information that I may find useful; well then you will learn what it feels like when you fail your Lord; just like Lucius, and my dear Bella here" He said gesturing to the two who until now Severus had not noticed

For they both seemed to be under the affects of the Cruciatis Curse, but he had not heard any yells of pain; this may have been due to a silencing charm his Lord had cast onto them.

"Of; course my Lord I only live to serve you" He replied

"Harry Potter; where are you" Lord Voldemort said "I will find you and when I do; I will end it.

A/N: Ok the ending I know is so…cliché. Sorry, but I needed a filler chapter and this did quite nicely. I hope you all are liking the story so far, and please give me something other than (I like it update soon) It helps with the juices. Also as a side note I'm not sure yet if I am going to make this HBP, or DH; compliant.

But I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

As always please READ, and REVIEW.
