A/N: Here is chapter 10. I hope you all enjoy, I am still working on reediting the rest of the story. But I thought you all deserved to have another chapter. Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voldemort was pacing in his study contemplating everything that he had just been told. His most loyal follower had been stolen by Dumbledore.

He knew the old man would stoop low, but he couldn't believe he pulled something this low.

And to top it off. Everything with Harry, Black, and Snape were coming together quite nicely. Having Black there seemed to cement Harry's allegiance to him even more.

Voldemort called for a house elf, and told it to go and retrieve Harry from the sitting room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry had just finally beat Draco at another game of Exploding Snap when the house elf appeared.

"Master Harry?" the house elf said "Master requests that you come to his study."

Harry looked at Draco. And Draco looked at him.

Harry had already had his lessons for the day, and it was rare that he would see Tom before supper was ready.

"Okay, thank you. I am coming right now." He said to the creature.

So Harry got up and started for the study, and the elf disappeared with a POP.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry knocked on the door of the study. When he heard the "Enter". He opened the door.

"You wanted to see me, Tom?"

Harry had gotten into the habit of calling Voldemort "Tom" when they were alone. Voldemort didn't seem to mind.

"Yes, I'm afraid I have some bad news." With a sigh "I am afraid that Dumbledore has captured Severus."

"Why would Dumbledore take Snape? Doesn't he believe that Snape is spying on you still?" Harry asked.

"I'm afraid that when he questioned Severus about you, Harry. That he figured out Severus was lying."

Harry considered this a for a moment. Snape had been one of the best Occlumens that he had ever heard of. He couldn't figure out how after all these years Dumbledore would be able to detect a small lie now.

"How would he do that? Isn't Snape one of the best at Occlumency?" He asked.

"Yes, Severus is indeed one of the best. But Harry what do you remember about Occlumency from our lessons?"

Harry thought about that. "You have to keep your mind clear of all emotion?"

"Correct. As hard as it may be for you to believe, Harry. Severus has developed a fondness, and compassion where you are concerned as of late."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"What I mean Harry. Is that Severus cares about you. And when Dumbledore questioned him about you, it brought of those emotions that made him want to protect you."

"So when he lied, he couldn't clear his mind properly. And Dumbledore saw through the lie."

Harry couldn't believe it. For the first time ever he realized that in his own way Professor Snape cared about him.

"What are we going to do to get him back?"

"You are not going to do anything, but continue with your studies Harry. This is the adult's concern not yours."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the conversation Harry wandered back to the sitting room where he had been with Sirius and Draco.

He walked in to find Draco talking animatedly to Sirius. So he just sat down on the couch to listen to Draco.

After looking at Harry for a minute Draco stopped talking. Harry was still looking at his feet, and didn't even notice.

Draco had to clear his throat to get his attention. When he did Harry jumped.

"Harry, is something bothering you?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, Voldemort told me that Dumbledore took Snape."

"Uncle Severus has been captured?" asked Draco.

"Yes, Dumbledore somehow figured out he was lying about what he knew about me."

" And Voldemort won't let me help to get him back." Harry said with a frown.

"I will go and talk to the Dark Lord. If you can't go Harry, I will." Sirius said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sirius walked down the hall to the study. This was the first time he had ever approached the Dark Lord by himself. Also the first time going to him unannounced.

He knocked on the door. Voldemort opened it, but he didn't look surprised. Just tired and weary.

"Come in, Mr. Black. I am guessing that Harry told you?"

"Yes, he did. Since he cannot go to get Snape. I want to help."

Voldemort actually looked shocked for a minute. He certainly wasn't expecting that. He expected maybe for Black to demand he let Harry go, but not this.

He directed Sirius to the dark green couch he had next to his fire place.

"Please, sit down. It seems we have much to discuss then." Voldemort said.

Sirius looked relieved. With that he smiled and sat on the couch so that they could talk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At Hogwarts Severus Snape was being taken out through one of the tunnels to a secret location to be interrogated.

Dumbledore stood by the humped-back witch's statue to oversee what was happening.

Dumbledore smiled to himself, thinking that he was going to get his weapon back and stop a traitor.

What he didn't know is the Sirius Black, who knew all his plans and locations, was alive.

At that very moment Sirius Black was spilling all of Dumbledore's secrets and siding with Voldemort.
