Chapter 11

Severus left her to think on his words for the rest of the day and went to his bedchambers late in the evening frowning when he found it empty. He did not want to punish her so early in their relationship but this was his house and she was his wife willing or not. He warned her and he was a man of his word.

He heard the door open behind him and found Hermione wrapped in a towel standing in the doorway looking to him. "I was wondering if you would disobey me after what I forced you to do today." Speaking in a low voice.

Hermione looked to him. There was an edge in his voice?

Severus pulled her wand out of his robes and held it out. "I took the time to retrieve it for you will need it tomorrow."

Hermione approached Severus and took her wand out of his hand and looked to it for a moment before she placed it on the plain black dresser next to the bed and watched him move to the door of the bath chamber without a word spoken.

Hermione changed into a green night gown she found in her new wardrobe and sat on the bed waiting for him.

She did not wait long for he came in holding a phial of liquid. "This is Dreamless Draught and you will take it. You need to be focused and cannot afford to not have a good night's rest. We will talk in the morning about what you can expect."

She took the phial and drank it down and placed the phial down before lying down on the bed and pulled the duvet over her.

Severus lay down beside her and watched the potion take effect as her eyes closed. After a while he moved beside her and pulled her to him and went to sleep as well.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione woke up yawning. That was the best slept that she had in the year and a half that passed since the end of the world as she knew it.

She went through the drawers of the dresser finding one side locked to her. Those must be his she mused as she went through hers finding only bras, undergarments and blouses meant to be worn under robes. No muggle clothes were to be found. She sighed. Robes were fine but she felt comfortable in muggle jeans

She found a jewelry box in the last drawer and opened it finding beautiful ear rings and necklaces that were of quality and none of the gems were fake. She found a note.

Things left over from the previous occupants of this manor should you need them while in service to our Lord. There is a chain with a snake. You will wear it always.

She found the necklace and put it on recognizing the neat scrawl of her husband from her past assignments at Hogwarts. She felt a surge of magic as the snake settled on her chest felling it writhe for a moment before stilling.

Hermione dressed in simple green robes and called out. "Sassy."

Sassy immediately appeared and asked. "What is youse wishes Mistress?"

"Where is my husband Sassy?"

"He's being in the library Mistress. Would you like to goes to him now?"

Hermione nodded and felt the small house elf grab her hand and found herself in the library and watched the elf disappear.

Severus looked to her from the chair that he sat at. "You have the necklace on?"

"Yes Severus. I felt the snake move so there is magic in this necklace."

"Nothing that you should concern yourself with witch. Sit Hermione and listen well for I will not be able to give you advice once we arrive there."

Hermione sat down and waited for him to continue.

"You must be wary there Hermione. You do not have to worry about the Dark Lord but of the fellow members of the Inner Circle. They have the right to call anyone out and you will need to tred carefully. I do not know what he has told the rest of them but there is one thing sure. You will have to kill today, be it wizard or muggle. I'm not sure what it will be but he will want to make an impression with you."

"Tell me of your initiation Severus."

"You already know everything about me and I will not speak of it. He knows everything about you so focus on that and the fact that he will want to break you when he Marks you. It is what makes the bond meld to him firmly."

He suddenly picked up his wand and pointed it to her thinking "Legilimens"

She sat across from him eating breakfast. "You're right Severus. I have my life and I can go out on my own and live it. Why should I worry about Harry now that he is defeated and will never rise again? All is lost now and I have to think for myself now... I accept whatever the Dark Lord demands as I do not want to die Severus. I'll accept whatever he demands of me if it means that I live."

He felt himself pushed from her mind and heard Hermione speak. "Did I pass Severus?"

He looked to her. "Well done. You have a natural talent for it. Not many can master this particular Art as quickly as you have Hermione. Perhaps you'll live after all." Pointing to a table with a long pale finger. "There lies what is required of you today Hermione."

Hermione walked to the table seeing a Deatheater mask and coarse black robes folded underneath it.

Severus looked to her. "You shut off your memory of Dumbledore after your death. What is it that you hide? What did he tell you?" He demanded.

She picked up the mask. "He told me that I could trust you Severus Snape." Looking to him. "So can I trust you?"

Hermione noticed a flicker of surprise cross his pale face before he looked to her again neutral. "That is something short of in our brave new world and it is only you who can decide who to trust. I'll meet you in the main hall in an hour."

Severus stood waiting for her in the hall watching her walk up to him dressed in coarse long black robes like his carrying the mask. He looked into her brown eyes pleased to see a spark in them instead of resignation. "Remember what I have taught you and above all be wary of Bellatrix LeStrange. Put your mask on and remember not to speak at all unless our Lord addresses you directly."

She nodded to him and put her mask and felt the pull of Apparation take her away.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

She found herself at Voldemort's throne and immediately fell to her knees and bowed down while Severus remained standing.

The pale snake like wizard sitting on the throne looking down to the bowed figure and entered her mind finding the conversation Severus held with her at breakfast that morning. He found her thoughts to serve him to better to save her own life refreshing. It was always good to use people's fear of death to bring them over to his line of thinking. It made them easy to control.

"Come to me Severus and sit here faithful one." Moving his hand and indicated a seat to the right of him.

"My Lord." Severus spoke respectfully and moved to sit beside him.

Voldemort turned to him. "You've done well Severus. I told you that she would come around."

"As always you are correct my Lord." Severus murmured. "I thought she was one that held to her convictions and would choose death."

Voldemort patted Severus's hand. "Not everyone has the convictions that you do Severus. There is no one as loyal as you save one other and that is who we await."

Hermione remained bowed catching only a few words of the conversation between Severus and Voldemort.

She felt a blast of wind and looked to the side and found another form bowed next to her.

"Ah sweet Bella arrived at last. I hope you have trained him well."

Hermione heard a mad high pitched cackle. "I have my Lord but what you see in this one I do not know."

"Come to me and sit while I call the rest of my faithful." Voldemort commanded as he pointed the Elder wand to his arm and pressed it to his Mark.

More masked forms arrived in coarse black robes and stood head bowed in respect to their Lord.

"Welcome my Knights of Walpurgis and ignore those bowed before me. One will be found worthy of my Mark shortly. But first a fine meal as I update you on my plans." Standing up from his throne. "Come with me my faithful."

Bella cackled out madly as she followed her Lord out along with Severus.

Severus looked down to Hermione placing a long finger on his lips indicating that she not say a word while they were absent.

Hermione watched him leave through masked eyes. This will be easy as she was bound for days at a time in a dark room while in captivity. She looked to the throne and took in its intricate detail. The man that sat in it spared nothing observing the intricate detail of the snakes entwined.

Her concentration broke as she heard a sound of frustration from the bowed form next to her. The one next to her was not used to being in one position long moments of time sensing the movements of one trying to get comfortable.

Bored with the room Hermione fell back to potion's classes remembering the lessons gave by Professor Snape.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

The meal was finished and Voldemort stood up. "Brother Lucius I am disappointed of your progress in Germany."

Lord Malfoy looked to Voldemort. "A minor setback my Lord. I assure you that in a month Germany will align to your cause."

Voldemort stood and moved behind him. "I do not have a month Lucius. You've been at this for a year with little result." Pulling his wand out and touching it to the wizard's neck. "I thought that you would be up to the challenge. Young Draco what do you think?"

Draco looked to the Dark Lord. "I think that you know what is best for our cause my Lord."

Voldemort laughed out. "You've taught your son well Lucius and it is fortunate for you that I have a place for you despite your failure once again. I tire of keeping our current Minister Imperius'ed. You will become the next Minister of Magic in one week's time as he has an accident. Severus will finish up what you started in Germany."

Lucius felt the wand pull away from his neck. "My Lord I am thankful that you see that I am of use to you."

Voldemort leaned down and whispered in the haughty wizard's ears. "Fail me again and I will kill your entire family including your son despite his progress." Chuckling as he moved away.

"Germany is my focus now and that will be taken care of. Do any of you have anything to present?"

Yaxley stood up. "I do my Lord. Not all of the mudbloods were killed and your decree about them bothers me."

"Ah Headmaster Yaxley thank you for addressing that and I'll not kill you tonight." Addressing his Knights. "Severus has taken care of all of the mudblood children that have a potential of contaminating our line. What say you Brother Severus?"

Severus stood up. "All one has to do is go to the pile of bodies and find them there. I killed every child and there is no chance of the unpure blood coming into our world. It seems I am still recognized as the true Headmaster and I will check the Book out every year and kill any that come up."

"But there are still mudbloods alive in our society untouched. They need to be eradicated!" Yaxley snarled out as the rest of the Inner Circle agreed.

"The few that are left will be recognized as full wizards. There are only twenty left and in my throne chamber there are two bowed sitting as a test. A pureblood and a mudblood trained by two most faithful to me. If the mudblood fails Severus will kill the rest before he goes to Germany with the victor. If the mudblood succeeds I do not expect to hear any concerns from you as time will purge them away through marriage and birth with true wizards."

Bella cackled out. "My Lord the pureblood will come out true."

Severus looked to Bellatrix. "I wouldn't count on that Bella. If mine wins then I will come to you at your Manor and you will bed me and do everything that I command. I warn you that I am not the nicest wizard."

Bellatrix eyed him. "Done and if I win you will duel with me to the death. Please my Lord allow this as I do not trust him!" She begged.

Voldemort looked to both of them. "Done and I command it!"

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione moved her body wiggling her toes to keep circulation in them as she waited bowed down and started count the cracks in the walls of the room. Time marched on.

HGSSHGSS

Voldemort stood up. "It is time my Faithful to test the two."

Voldemort moved beside Severus as they walked. "Your champion does well as she drew herself into her mind remembering your classes. I had no idea how you cowed the students down. This should prove interesting and if the Mudblood loses I'm not sure who I would want to win your duel with Bella."

Severus looked to Voldemort. "I trained her well my Lord just as you instructed and she is a powerful witch in her own right and why you elected her to live."

"We shall see." He replied and sat at his throne while his Inner Circle stood behind the bowed figures.

Voldemort looked to the two bowed figures after he sat down. "Rise two Initiates of the Inner Circle."

Hermione immediately stood up bouncing on her feet for a moment and looked to Voldemort.

Voldemort watched the other raise slowly and stood up as well shaking for a moment before stilling. "Two that I think may be worthy of my service but I require only one. You will both duel and not use Avada." Pulling two daggers from his pocket and tossed them down before them. "Pick the daggers up!"

Both bent down and picked them up.

"You will duel and the first will kill the opponent using the dagger. Avada is not allowed and you can Apparate in this room only. Face one another and remove your mask!"

The two faced one another and removed their mask tossing it down as one.

"Percy Weasly!" Hermione snarled out and held her wand out.

"Granger!" The tall red headed wizard whispered surprised that she would be here.

"Begin!" Voldemort commanded and watched as the witch attack her opponent pushing him away from her as she put distance between Percy firing out hexes as Percy easily defended himself.

"Is that all you got Granger? How can you think that you are worthy of our Lord?" Percy snarled throwing hexes of his own forcing his once friend to defend herself.

The battle went on back and forth for an hour with Hermione scoring a hit when she Apparated behind him slashing he wand in a downward and watched as a diagonal cut appeared with blood dripping down.

Percy whirled around and fired back and Hermione easily deflected them. Severus's training in defensive tactics showing.

But now Hermione was in striking distance and she knew most wizards fought with magic only not thinking of physical means.

Hermione knelt down looking to Percy with hatred. "Enough of this!" She snarled out tossing down her wand and throwing herself at him dagger in hand and pushed him down slicing his neck with a stroke as she tossed his wand away watched him as he bled out. "I win my Lord!" She panted out.

Voldemort watched the unclimatic end as his Inner Circle muttered at the lack of magic and stood up. "She bested him." Walking down to Hermione and pulled her away from the body of Percy and placed his wand to her left arm muttering a complicated spell and watched her scream out in pain before falling unconscious.

Voldemort held his wand out. "Did you see the animal within? That is what all of you are using magic and physical means in my service. She passes and will go with Severus to Germany and that will prove to you my reasoning for the Mudbloods. She is perfect for our Cause for as long as I allow her to live. Severus take your wife away and attend her."

Severus moved and picked up his unconscious wife into his arms. "I will be visiting you soon Bella. Defensive spells are just as important as offensive spells and you always forget that." He smoothly spoke in his low voice and smirked as he watched Bella pout before he turned his heel and left the room.

Voldemort commanded the Inner Circle to be away and indicated that Bella stay behind.

"You should have given me more to work with My Lord." Bella pouted.

"Percy Weasley was never meant to grace my circle. He was a tool that I have used most effectively. When word gets out that Hermione Granger is mine any thoughts of rebellion will cease as she is the only known symbol to the Wizarding world to rally against me. In a few years I can kill her and she will not become a martyr. My plans progress nicely and maybe you should think of teaching our new recruits more defense in the future." Voldemort looked to her. "How fares your husband and more importantly your son?"

"Both are well as I leave Potter to care for his spawn. I have not touched a precious hair on either of them just as you command."

"Make sure you that you remember Bella. The plan is long term and I need him and the babe alive. Go Bella to your husband and pass along the good news."

"Your will my Lord. I can't wait to see the look on his face." She cackled out before leaving his presence.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Severus laid Hermione on their bed and pointed his wand at her thinking "Reinivate" and watched her move as she came to moaning. "It hurts."

I know it does Hermione." Severus spoke to her with a soothing tone. "The pain will last a day and I have a paste that will allow it to subside to an ache."

She pulled herself up and looked to her bloody hands. "I killed him Severus. Percy was misguided and allowed his drive to succeed take over him forgetting his family and values." She suddenly screamed out in pain and felt her Mark move and burn deeper into her arm.

Severus watched her. "And now you are a full member of the Inner Circle. Remorse at what you think of murder has bound you as your act was to one with an evil purpose and you held evil intent to kill. Now you are in Hell but at least you have a companion."

Severus pulled a bottle of salve out of his pocket and set it on the bed stand and pulled a generous amount into his hand before applying it to Hermione's arm hearing her sigh out in relief from the pain.

"Rest Hermione for we need to go to Germany and get them in line. Our lives are on the line with this and we will need to convince them quickly. We have three days despite the week our Lord gave us. He likes results." Pulling a phial of potion and gave it to her. "We go when you awake from this."

Hermione took the phial and recognized Dreamless Draught. She drank it down and fell asleep in a few minutes.

"Sassy a bowl of soapy water and a cloth please." Severus spoke out.

Sassy appeared with what her master requested and looked to the sleeping witch. "She is what youse is now?"

Severus dipped the cloth into the water and cleaned Hermione's blood encrusted hands. "Yes Sassy she is like me and not at the same time."

Sassy placed a small hand on her Master's arm. "What means youse Master? My magiks nevers lie and I see through youse."

Severus chuckled hollowly. "It is simple Sassy. She holds onto hope where I do not. Look at what I've become allowing my House elf to know more than what I present."

"Masters after Germany youse needs tell her. She has a secret." Sassy urged.

"I know that Sassy but I have never trusted anyone save Albus and look to where that led to." Severus growled out.

"Masters I'se only an elf but I'se tell youse this with risk of punishment. Masters stop livings the pasts when youse has the future in hands." Pulling away expecting punishment for her bold words ears bent downward.

Severus looked to his elf. "Stay with her Sassy and let me know when she wakes. Your punishment is to bring my wife a complete breakfast as you know what we will be doing when we leave here."

Sassy ears moved forward. "I'se do that and let's youse know Master Snape."

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Severus Aparrated from his Manor and found himself at the plain with all the rotting discarded bodies. Only the Healers and Medi-Witches were added and he searched the pile looking for a particular body and pulled it out.

He held the rotting red headed girl's body to him and looked to it. "I am going to do the right thing Linda Robinson and circumstances be damned."

He sat there and continued to hold the body not minding the smell of decay as he thought of the future.
