3. My hate for you is one to fear.

Severus sat in the library finishing off two sets of potion essays and formulas. One in his own tight, hurried handwriting, so close together it looked more like ink spots than words and one in a fluid jagged scrawl that mimicked his dorm mates� script. He had intentionally left out a few key details along with a handful of misspelled words in the second set to avoid arousing suspicion, though he knew it would still manage an acceptable for Rosier; a better grade than he normally managed.

The Library was surprisingly empty for a Sunday. Severus was grateful for the last of the sunshine that had drawn out the majority of the students, leaving him to a quiet afternoon of solitude. He found that if he could separate himself from people: from crowds and noise, he could keep his growing anger and resentment in check. Otherwise, he felt that at any moment he would lose control over his actions, and would never be able to restrain himself again. He could still remember the satisfaction he felt after hitting Black, the solid sensation of his fist connecting with jaw, and bone. It felt fantastic. It felt powerful.

Severus placed his work into his bag, stretching as he stood. He looked out over the grounds and felt disgusted. Idiots, thought Severus as he headed towards the dungeons intent on sleeping the rest of the day away, indeed sleeping for as long as he possibly could, his whole life perhaps.

Severus turned left at a portrait of a woman cooing to a sleeping baby taking the shortcut to the Great Hall. If he were lucky, he would meet no-

Severus stopped and slid behind a pillar. A devastating jealousy formed within him, as he watched Potter and Evans pawing at each other at the end of the corridor.

What gave them the right to have this time with each other, he thought.

He could not stand watching them a moment longer, they would suffer. They, like him would personally experience what if felt like to have a treasured moment snatched from them. With an almost vigorous flick of his wand he stood back to admire the chaos that unfolded before him.

Potter snatched his head back from Lilly his face panicked and distorted.

�James?� Lilly asked startled, watching as Potter�s hands flew to his face, his mouth opening and closing in strangled gurgles.

�What�s happened to your tongue?� she shouted, looking around frantically for someone to help her.

Let him try prying his deceitful, vile tongue from the roof of his mouth, thought Severus, especially pleased with the result of his spell. It had worked better than he had hoped.

Severus turned away from them, heading back up the stairs, his previous angst presently mollified. For once, he had jinxed Potter first.

�Impressive; a variation of a sticking charm, I assume?� asked Bellatrix stepping out from alcove.

Severus glanced at her sharply.

�It�s almost as clever as your charm that makes it impossible to hear private conversations.� She said her tone flat and bored.

Severus could feel his irritation start to rise. How dare she spy on him!

�Though, my personal favourite is your slicing hex, it has� potential.� this time her voice held a wavier of excitement the word �potential� sliding out of her mouth almost lovingly.

Severus stepped pass her, �Excuse me.� he said grinding the words out from between his clenched, his hands tight fists in his robes.

Bellatrix stopped him, her hand hovering before his chest, not quite touching him, �There are people who admire those sorts of abilities, Snape. People who can help you; teach you how to make pathetic gits like Potter and Black cower before you.�

Severus raised an eyebrow doubtfully: challengingly. �Yes, and how convenient for me that you, Black, know these people.� his lips spat the words at her with fierce mockery.

A flash of impatience flashed across Bella�s face. �If you want to waste this opportunity then so be it. I have no desire to coddle you.� They starred at each other.

�What people?� Severus asked firmly.

She smirked, �People who respect knowledge and power; covet it. An elite few who are hand picked to learn as much as they can about magic, all magic.�

Severus eyed her sceptically.

�There are few in this world that would go to great lengths to learn about Dark Magic, they are weak. Perfectly content to waste their abilities� waste their magic. Imbeciles like those berks are beneath you, Snape.�

Severus watched Bella closely, his eyes fixed on hers, subtly shifting through her thoughts. He could sense her enthusiasm and surprisingly how certain she was about what she was saying.

�Who are these people?� he asked quietly.

Bella smirked, �You can meet them� They are all meeting at Lucius� over the Holiday break.�

�Malfoy?� he asked incredulously.

�He has the means to cater towards the certain individuals that are involved. Think on it, Snape. If you are interested, accept Lucius� invitation and see for yourself. Otherwise, decline. Either way you�ve lost nothing.� She nodded to him, heading down the hall.

�Not that you have anything left to lose.� Severus heard her fleeting thought as she turned from him as clearly, as if she had spoke it aloud.

He watched her until she disappeared around a corner, hundreds of thoughts zipping around in his mind. How easy it sounded, so much in fact, it seemed hardly true, and Malfoy of all people? He had not been particularly brilliant in school from what Severus could remember and though he was bright and even a fair duellist, he never really seemed the type to thrive for knowledge. Oh, but to get Potter and Black back, that at least would be worth the trip to Malfoy Manor.

An empty pang simmered in his gut. She was right, he had nothing to lose, anymore and everything gain.
