Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: I know I say this a lot but I am sorry it took me so long to get a new chapter up. I know the direction that I want the story to go into, but I am having a hard time finding the motivation/muse to come up with the chapters. Anyway, here is the newest one. Hopefully, I will keep this burst of motivation for a while.

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

Tom and Sirius had spent hours in the office at this point talking. Draco and Harry were getting bored of playing chess and exploding snap.

"Bellatrix?" Harry called out.

Bella sighed and looked up from the painting she was doing. In her more lucid moments she did like to do art. It had been one of the few things in her training as a pureblood that she enjoyed.

"Yes, Harry?" she answered.

"Draco and I are bored, and we want to go outside. Will you take us?"

"Do I really have a choice?"

Draco and Harry grinned. Harry went to his room to get his Firebolt. And Draco went to ask Lucius to retrieve his from the Manor.

Twenty minutes both boys were ready to go outside and play Quidditch.

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

Tom and Sirius had finally come up with a decent plan of attack. Sirius had told Voldemort about Grimmauld Place, since that seemed to be the most likely place that Snape would be taken to.

"When do you want to set the attack up for?" Sirius asked.

Tom sighed and looked out the window. He saw Harry and Draco both chasing the Snitch around the lawn.

"Tonight would probably be best."He replied. "The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can have Severus back and make some real attack plans."

"I don't want Harry to have to be involved in a war, just because Dumbledore can't let things go."

Sirius snarled. He remembered quite well what he had been told of Dumbledore's plans when he arrived at Riddle Manor.

It made him angry beyond belief that Albus would use his godson in such a way. He really had believed that the old man cared about Harry. In reality he just wanted to use him, and then let him die for "the greater good" is how it would be rationalized.

"I know in the past Snape and I have had our differences. I am glad that Harry and I have had a chance to get to know him for real."

"Yes, it has been nice around my home now with you, Harry, and Severus being here and getting along."

"It is kind of like the family I always imagined could live here in this house." Voldemort said without really thinking.

"Tell me, Black. Can you keep a secret for me?"

"Sure. I really don't know who else I could tell." Sirius said.

"I have truly come to care about Harry. And I am beginning to see him as a son." Voldemort continued. "I never in a million years thought I could ever feel this way about another person. Least of all Harry Potter."

"But alas, It has happened. And I couldn't be happier."

Sirius just kind of gaped at Voldemort for a moment before he recovered himself.

"It's nice to know that there are others besides myself that care about Harry. Now should we get the ball rolling on the attack plans?"

"Of course." Tom said getting his focus back.

Severus woke up with a bit of a headache. He couldn't remember where he was. The last thing he remembered was seeing Dumbledore pull his wand out at him.

He looked around the dirty, dark room and realized he was in the Order stronghold. Now he was a little more than concerned.

He tried to get loose from his seat, but as he started to struggle against the bonds the door to the room swung open.

There stood Dumbledore, Lupin, Minerva, and Mr. Weasley.

"Ah, Severus. You're awake. Now we can begin." Dumbledore said.

"Where have they taken Harry?" Shouted Lupin

Severus could tell that the man was genuinely upset. Harry was the last thing he had left of his beloved friends, and now he was gone. Snape refused to think about that, for if Dumbledore looked into his mind he might discover Black's resurrection.

At this point he realized that his only hope of being rescued would be, that Black knew his location and how the Order operated.

"Severus!" Albus said. "You should pay attention. We have a large amount of questioning to come, and it would be easier on you if you cooperated."

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

After hours of questioning, and getting nowhere everyone left Snape under the watchful eye of Remus Lupin.

Dumbledore had said it was to give Severus sometime to think about his loyalties. But Snape saw it for what it was. A chance for Lupin to be alone with him and try to beat Harry's location out of him.

They realized that asking Severus wasn't going to work anymore. So now they were trying for a different technique.

"Severus, come back." Lupin said.

Severus snapped his thoughts back to the present at the sound of his name.

"Where. Is. Harry?" Lupin shouted.

Snape was silent.

"I know you know where they took him. Now tell me or it's going to get ugly."

Severus just sighed he knew this was coming.

"Fine if that's how you want it. I think it is time to try something new."

Lupin did surprise Snape though. Instead of getting out his wand to cast a spell at him. He swung a fist and clipped Severus right upside the jaw.

The impact of the hit was so strong the chair fell over.

"God, I have wanted to do that for a while." Lupin smiled.

Snape just glared and refused to react further.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me? I am just getting started."

" I have nothing to say to you." Severus answered.

"Okay then." Was the only reply Severus got before a rain of fists followed.

It seemed that Lupin was taking out all of his anger over the Potters, the war, losing Sirius, everything on Severus.

It was only a matter of time before Snape was going to loose consciousness. He hoped that Black and the Dark Lord would hurry.

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

Harry and Draco were in the air, when Harry spotted a house elf pop out next to Bellatrix and tell her something.

"Potter! Draco!" Bella called. "Come back inside, Dark Lord's orders!"

"What do you think is going on?" asked Draco.

"My guess, they are going to get Snape." Harry replied.

They both dismounted their brooms and walked back into the Manor with Bellatrix. They returned to the sitting room that they were in earlier.

Harry retrieved a book off of the shelf, and Draco decided to go ask a house elf for a snack.

Once Harry was on his usual couch and began reading he saw something flash outside the window.

At that moment he saw Voldemort, Sirius, and a group of twenty Death Eaters apparate.

"Aren't you going with them?" Harry asked Bellatrix.

"No." She said. "I am your minder, and since the Dark Lord is gone. I am in charge of you."

"So I am stuck here."

"Now read, and behave yourself. The Dark Lord told me to report to him if you misbehaved."

Harry just shrugged and returned to his book.

This didn't seem so shocking to him since whenever Tom or Sirius weren't with him, Bellatrix was.
