Chapter 19 Future of the Dark Lord

Severus leaned down and touched Williams head. "He is Hermione and I have informed our Lord to the birth. You know that I will have to take William to him soon for he will expect it."

Two weeks went by and Hermione settled with her son glad that she did not have stalk the passages looking for students. She felt drained and the magic within her low.

She talked to Poppy about it and the medi-witch did not seem overly concerned, telling that her magic would be up to par in time and the check up of her and the baby normal.

Severus did not say much when he joined her in the evenings instead choosing to watch her take care of their son. It reminded her of before when he watched her in Voldemort's Manor.

She watched him as well and knew that something worried him. Some nights she would wake up alone in bed and looked to the balcony finding him standing outside looking over the grounds.

It was after the third week that Lucius Malfoy came to Hogwart's to visit Severus. He met with his fellow Deatheater in private, telling her to go to their chambers. Lucius did not stay long and was soon on his way.

Severus joined her wearing the robes of the Inner Circle. "It is time I present my son to our Lord."

She moved and picked William from the bassinet and placed him in her husband's arm. "Be save Severus and protect him if need be."

"I will. Tell Minerva that I will be away and do not know when I return." He replied and looked to her for a moment before he turned a heel and Aparrated away.

Hermione stood for a moment. She did not forget the words of Albus telling her of the wizard Chu Zee. Term would be ending in a week and they would be at Snape manor where they could talk with no fear of listening spells. She would tell Severus when he came back with her son.

Severus appeared in Voldemort's presence. "My Lord I present my Son as you require."

Voldemort stood from his throne dismissing the few Deatheaters in the room away and walked down to join his right hand man.

"Ah Severus..." Voldemort hissed out. "I did not want to use my Mark because it would not tell you of what I required. Let me hold your son."

Severus handed William to Voldemort and moved a few steps back in respect.

"He is a strong one in magic and large. Not surprising considering his parents." Voldemort murmured.

Voldemort looked to the brown eyes of the babe intently. "Ah you sense why are here and you should." Speaking softly to the child as a faint red flash surrounded the baby for a second and faded quickly.

Voldemort handed the boy back to Severus. "He will be the cornerstone of my Empire in time Severus."

Severus held his son. "Are you sure that my wife and I are best spent at Hogwart's My Lord? You say I am your right hand man and yet I am stuck at the place." He growled out.

"You make the curriculum that in time will allow the citizenship into mindless sheep Severus. There is no one in my ranks that have such the reputation or ability to cow them down for their conditioning. You and your wife are best suited there for my plans of the future. In time all will be realized."

"Of course my Lord but I only wish to serve you in the best of my ability."

"And you are in that now Severus. Go now and continue in that capacity and I will call you when you are needed in other duties."

"As you will My Lord." Nodding for a moment and left the throne room with his son.

A figure melted from the shadows and joined Voldemort. "Does he suspect My Lord?"

"He is blissfully unaware and when the spawn turns seven he will know of my plan and that will be his death."

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Severus arrived in his chambers and found his wife standing up from her chair looking to her him in worry.

"Nothing happened Hermione." He assured her. "Our Lord only wanted to hold William and told me that he would be the cornerstone of his Empire." Handing their son to her for the boy started to cry.

Hermione looked to him. "If you're sure Severus."

"I am Hermione and found out why we are here for we are to dumb down the future citizens of Britain. We will be here for a time." Severus replied. "In one week we will be at our Manor free for a time after term has ended and I have no plans to stay here when the school is idle. It will take care of itself."

She looked to him realizing it was a hint to end their conversation.

"Of course Severus and I will put William to bed."

Sassy awaited the return of her Master and was pleased when He appeared in the hall.

"Master, youse Manor is as you left and I serves again."

Severus scratched the elf's ear. "We are here now and I require your bond once again Sassy. A bond to the House of Snape that you serve."

Sassy looked to the babe held in Hermione's arms and rushed up touching a clawed hand to the babe. "Heir ofs House I bounds to youse, I serves you as I serve youse sire."

"Sassy no matter what happens to me or Hermione you are bound to William Snape and you will obey him when it is time. Do you understand this?"

Sassy's ear's flattened. "I'se hears what youse speak Master

Hermione stood watching Severus and the elf interact not understanding the sad look of the elf before she disappeared.

Severus spoke. "Go to our chambers and I'll join you shortly."

She left not saying a word sensing that Severus wanted to be alone.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione placed William in the bassinet watching the baby fall to sleep. For being a month old he rarely woke up during the night and not fussy at all.

Maybe it was because of his size of a one plus year old. She wondered of Severus's family lines wondering if there was a history of large newborns in his line knowing that on her side, all of the Granger offspring were in normal range.

Hermione leaned down and kissed her sleeping's son's cheek while running a finger through the dark black curls of his hair. Despite how he was conceived she loved her son and connected to him, her magic telling her that her son was her, and of her for eternity.

She turned away to get ready for bed and found Severus watching her.

"Severus I did not hear you come in."

Severus moved to the bassinet and touched a long pale finger to his son's cheek. His magic told him that he was of him and him for eternity and trembled. He never had anything worth to protect and his magic told him so. His bond to Hermione was of duty only but his son was a different matter. He felt love, a pure love for the first time in his life. His love for Lily faded in comparison to what he felt for William.

Hermione watched for a moment and went to the bath chambers leaving him to continue bonding to his son, the look of amazement etched on his face.

She took care of her nightly rituals and showered. Walking back to the room she found Severus already in bed asleep. She slipped in beside him and drifted off to sleep as well thinking of Chu Lee.

Hermione woke up, sunlight shining her room and heard William start to cry and picked him up to feed him, moving her son to her breast and felt her son suckle. It was then that she noticed that Severus was not in bed instead finding a parchment on the bed stand.

Call Sassy to watch over William and meet me in the Library. We have much to discuss.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione joined Severus in the library watching him. There was something about him that she never seen before and that was worry. She sat beside him and waited.

He began. "I talked to Albus's portrait and told him everything of the time that has passed since Voldemort's rise. The imprint of him cannot help because he is only as when he died. What happened when you died during the birth of William? I suspect that you talked to the spirit of Albus when you passed just as you did before."

"What do you know of the wizard Chu Lee?"

Severus hid his shock at the mention of the name. "How do you know that name witch?" He demanded.

"Albus told me that I must seek this wizard out as he gave Voldemort the original magic to bring him back.

"He told you to seek out Chu Lee?" He spat out in disbelief. "That man is the second dangerous wizard in the world compared Voldemort!" Severus snarled out.

Hermione looked to her husband. "And how do you know that?"

Severus stood up and poured himself a healthy portion of Firewhiskey and slammed it down and addressed his wife.

"Early in my association with Voldemort I was sent to him to train further in the Dark Arts. Are you sure this is the wizard you wish to seek?"

Hermione looked to her husband. "Albus told me to seek him out when I died Severus. We must do it to save our world."

"But why Hermione? Why would Albus send you to a man that is as dangerous as Voldemort? There are agreements between them but I do not know what they are."

"Chu Lee gave Voldemort the information to bring him back to life and he is the only one that can tell us what Voldemort plans. Think about our son Severus! I have no history of large babes in my line. Do you? And he nearly drained me of my magic while in my womb. I have never been told but I suspect that my magic is above the normal levels of wizards and I suspect that your magic is as well."

Severus did not know much of his family history but knew he was an average baby. And her argument of magic was not one to be ignored.

"Remember the number seven Severus. Voldemort will not kill the heir I bore for him so he is out of the equation. Our son IS the seventh babe and it all connects but how? That is why we need to see Chu Lee."

"It will be difficult to get to him Hermione. I am an emissary of Voldemort and known in China." Severus replied drinking down another portion of Firewhiskey.

"I will go on my own Severus your role will be safe. That way you will not be placed in danger and I can get the answers that I need."

Severus moved to her snarling out. "You would not last two minutes with Chu Lee! I said it would be difficult and if you went on your own it would be impossible! Voldemort already knows that I am a traitor based on past history from the war. Though loyal to him now it matters not for if you are correct the seven along with the babes and you and I will die. I value my life and that of William."

"And what of me Severus?" Hermione asked fearing the answer yet knowing it.

Severus looked to her eyes narrowed. "You know what you are to me Hermione so why ask the question? I am bound to you by marriage only. I do not love you Hermione and remind you that you chose this path and I am the pawn unwillingly played for the most part. I will protect you as your husband but if it comes to William I will sacrifice you in a heartbeat if needed."

Hermione nodded not surprised at his words though it hurt her. His honest words told her that she was meaningless to her and that was okay because she was forced into his life. At least he decided to help her. "We go to China tomarrow and get our answers."

He saw the look of hurt in her eyes for a moment before it went away. His wife knew her value to him already and his words to her confirmed it. "We are both destined to die wife. Now versus later does not make a difference and we will take William along with us. Why wait for the marrow when the Dark Lord tracks us as it will be unlikely that he will call us as term has just ended. You have one hour to prepare"

Severus watched Hermione leave knowing that his words hurt her. She needed confirmation of her status with him and he gave that to her. It would make her stronger in the end if they survived Chu Lee.

One hour later Hermione joined him in the Hall with William wrapped on her chest in a back wrap cross carry with chest belt.

Severus unwrapped a book that he made into a Port Key. "You are absolutely sure that you need to do this?"

"Yes Severus." Hermione whispered.

Severus held the book to her. "Touch it and it will activate in one minute."

She did so and he noticed a fire in her eyes and hoped she would have her wits about her when she met with Chu Lee.
