Quia Caesaris Sum 2

I stepped out of Albus' fireplace and was surprised to discover that we weren't alone in the room. My surprise instantly turned to anger as I recognized the woman who stood in front of me. My wand was in my hand, seemingly without me having to make a conscious decision to draw it. I pointed it at her and she didn't even flinch. She just stood there calmly and imperiously staring at me with the same smug, supercilious, superior expression she always wears. Before I could strike, Albus stepped between us.
"Please put the wand away, Severus. Veronique is here to ask us for help, so you need to sit down and listen to what she has to say," he instructed.
"How can we mere mortals possibly be of assistance to Ms Dulac?" I sneered, taking a seat across from Albus, but keeping my eyes on that treacherous little bitch. Although to be honest you could say that I was the traitor, not her, since unlike me she had chosen a side and stuck to it. I should say here that while I have many good reasons to dislike the seductive little witch, very few of them are things that I would be able to admit to in front of Albus, even if it is more than likely that the canny old wizard probably already knows them. I could claim to dislike her because of her adherence to Voldemort's cause or because, despite that allegiance, she has somehow managed to avoid the ugly brand that mars my own flesh. She'd probably have refused it on aesthetic grounds if it had ever been offered, I imagine it would clash with her handbag or shoes or some such frivolous reason. I could also claim to hate the fact that she is an integral part of the upper echelons of wizarding society; the same society which has steadfastly refused to welcome me into its ranks - not that I have any desire to be part of a group of hypocrites and snobs, but the fact that this woman, who is nothing more than a well-paid whore[,] can claim acceptance when I can't irritates me. If I am brutally honest however the real reason I hate her is because she has the one thing I want more than anything - Lucius. She has his love, his respect, his friendship. She shares his tragedies and his triumphs and every moment in between. No doubt he even shares his plans and dreams with her as he once shared them with me. He trusts her as he no longer trusts me; as he no longer can trust me. With thoughts such as these running through my head it is hardly surprising that I was thrown off balance by her next words.
"I'm not the one that needs help; Lucius is."
"What?" I asked in confusion. Why would she care anyway, I'm sure she could always find another rich sucker to replace Lucius, although I doubt she could find one as handsome or charming or intelligent or — Okay, this really isn't the time to catalogue Lucius' better attributes.
"I've had a long day, Ms Dulac and I'm in no mood to play guessing games. Just tell me what it is you want and why you think we should give it to you." Ah, finally I appeared to have rattled her. She scowled at me before continuing. "Voldemort has decided to start recruiting children - specifically Draco Malfoy, something I assume you're already aware of, Professor." She paused to smirk at me, raising one eyebrow in a gesture very reminiscent of Lucius. Damn the woman, the last thing I needed was to be reminded of what happened to Lucius this afternoon. I glared at her suspiciously, I could almost think she knew how I felt. Before I could continue that train of thought she spoke again. "In order to protect Draco, Lucius has decided to leave Voldemort and join us." Us? "His current plan involves offering himself up to the Ministry on a platter and hoping they don't send him to Azkaban."
"He what? Is he insane? He'll be shipped off before the ink on the court order has a chance to dry," I exclaimed in horror. Honestly, Lucius can be such a damn fool when he wants to be. Why didn't he come to me and ask for help? Well, other than the fact that he thinks I'm a loyal Death Eater and would prly hly hand him over to Voldemort. No, he couldn't think that, could he? I mean I know I've made every effort to make myself appear loyal to Voldemort and I know he no longer feels the same way about me as he did at school, but he couldn't seriously consider that I'd do anything to harm him or his son, could he? Urgh, I'm even starting to annoy myself now. Lucius thinks exactly what I wanted him to think and I need to get a hold of myself before I get even more sentimental and pathetic. Honestly, I swear, I'm going to end up singing bloody awful muggle country and western songs at this rate, if I don't get myself committed to St Mungo's first.
"Finally, something we agree on," she drawled. "I patched up his wounds and put him to bed before coming here. I was hoping that the three of us could arrange an alternative solution before he wakes up."
I firmly pushed the images her words conjured up out of my mind and concentrated on helping them work out a plan for ensuring Lucius and Draco's safety. It took us about an hour to come up with a basic plan. Lucius would come to the school tomorrow, ostensibly to meet with the Headmaster. This would be believable since Lucius had been reinstated to the Board of Governors. The fact that he wouldn't leave the school again would no doubt cause some consternation amongst the Death Eaters but since I would be teaching at the time I wouldn't be expected to know anything about it. Albus would send him to a cottage to which only he had access. He declined to tell me any more since I might be forced to reveal the information to our enemies. An argument which I was reluctantly forced to accept when Albus pointed out that I produce most of the Veritaserum used by the Death Eaters and knew how effective it was. The Dulac woman suggested that maybe she should be kept in the dark too but Albus declared that she would be going with Lucius in order to keep an eye on him and stop him doing anything foolish. She argued that she should be here rather than secreted away from harm. She seemed to be under the impression that Draco would need her. Why he would willingly spend time with his father's mistress is beyond me, although I imagine that in comparison to Narcissa the Ice Queen, she might actually seem like an improvement. In the end Albus declared that he was going to bed and that we were to sort out the details between us.
