Chapter 21 Future of the Dark Lord
Sassy woke from the floor and immediately went to the wall and banged her head moaning. Sassy pushes hers Master. I'se fails in my service to hims!"
"Stop it Sassy!" Severus commanded in a sharp voice and the elf immediately stopped, looking to the wall trembling.
Severus watched the elf for a moment and then moved to her and knelt down beside her. "You service is perfect."
"Master has much on his minds. I'se be more careful with my words Master."
"No Sassy your service to me remains the same as we agreed. I warned you what I could be before you bonded to me."
"I'se do Master. I'se leaves youse to think Master." Plopping away with a crack of sound.
Severus poured himself a drink and sat down. Why was Harry Potter the one that could remove Voldemort from his son? He knew the Horcruxes were destroyed when he initially interrogated the Seven using Veriteserrum and removed their memory of it for the Dark Lord would question him if it were revealed. Did the Dark Lord have another unknown? He knew that Voldemort did not place a Horcrux within his son for no one was killed in his meeting with him.
He sipped his drink. He would have to wait for Hermione to tell him what Chu Lee whispered to her.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Hermione seethed at her husband's departure. If only he could wait she would have told him why Harry was key in Voldemorts plan. It was so simple that she cursed herself for not thinking of it herself, opening the eye of Chu Lee to the world if they failed.
She glanced down to William finding him asleep and knew that Severus was in the library. "Sassy." She called out and watched the elf appear noticing the large cut on her head and decided not to ask her of it as she needed to speak to her husband.
"Sassy can you watch over William as I need to speak with Master?"
"Yes Mistress I'se pleased to watch over the Heir of Snape."
Hermione left the room and walked down to the Library to gather herself before she addressed him.
Severus watched her enter not saying a word and watched her standing in front of him.
"You could have waited for me to tell you before demanding the name of the one to take Voldemort out of our son. No doubt you have been dwelling on it."
Severus observed her watching her chew her bottom lip. Oh she was worried for the last time he observed that was when she was a student in his class.
"Wife I think that you are worried and ashamed at the same time. Care to enlighten me?"
"You're right on that Severus." Hermione growled out and flopped down on the brown leather chair opposite of him. "I'm supposed to be the brightest witch of my age and I missed it. The most obvious fact and Chu Lee reminded me of it when he revealed the potion that was used on the Seven. It's a blood potion that is activated by a charm. When…." She stopped for a moment realizing she did not know the name of the son she bore for Voldemort.
"What did he name him Severus?" She asked feeling a sharp pang of regret.
He saw the flash of pain in her eyes realizing she referred to the baby that was snatched away from her and responded. "His name is Marvolo Hermione."
She composed herself. "When Marvolo turns seven along with the others will be the time Voldemort will give William a potion that binds all of them together. He will cast a charm to the seven and the magic will transfer to William. Then Voldemort will cast another charm and the all of the magic gathered in William will be transferred to Marvolo. William will die when that happens because the essence of him will be torn away leaving a shell."
"What are the charms Hermione?" Severus demanded.
She detected an undertone of anger in his word and replied back in a neutral voice. "Chu Lee did not tell me, saying I have two years to figure it out for myself. For some silly reason he trusted Voldemort's agreements. He is a Dark Lord and should have realized it."
"It's the culture." Severus growled out and jumped out of his chair and began to pace, his thoughts racing through his mind.
He stopped and looked at his wife. "Do you know the ingredients for the potion to be given to William?"
"The potion is the same that he used to resurrect himself with the addition of a Moon Lily. I've never heard of a Moon Lily Severus so we will have to begin there."
Severus stopped his pacing and looked to her in shock at her words. "Are you absolutely sure that is what Master Lee told you?"
"Of course Severus. I wrote everything down after you invoked parental rights and left me in a fit of rage. If I were you I'd be more concerned of the line "Bone of the father unwillingly given."
She said that in such a flippant way made him pause and study her. After all the years they spent doing horrific things for Voldemort her words enforcing that his wife was definitely not the young idealistic girl that he raped to prepare her for Voldemort.
He sat down and looked to her. "There is one course of action that we must do. Harry Potter will be the one to save William. It means that we have to procure a wand for him."
"Yes that is the most important step if we are to be successful. And not just any wand but one made as his original wand. Phoenix feathers are hard to come by much less a wand maker not under the control of Voldemort. The task seems impossible."
"You leave that to me witch. Finding out the charms is your task."
Hermione stood up and smiled. "My task is far easier than yours. I bid you good night Severus."
He watched her leave and muttered to himself.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Four weeks passed and not once were they called by the Dark Lord. Severus took advantage of the first free summer he had in years by researching the Dark Lord's resurrection potion. He could brew it to a point as he had many enemies and had a couple of them in a room in chains with a silencing spells and took blood from them as they fought against the chains that held them. When he was done he would kill them and make sure the remains would never be found.
As far as the bone of the father he had Sassy dig up the remains of his father and the bones were piled up in a corner. He meticulously wrote down the reactions of the potions to the added ingredients, adding in different orders and placed a stasis spell on the concoction and sat down at the desk in his lab tapping a long finger on the desk. He was at a standstill as he had no servant to give flesh willingly.
Hermione walked in the lab and sat down in a chair placed next to the death. "How is your research coming."
Severus growled out. "I am at a standstill Hermione as I do not have the last required ingredient oyjer than the Moon Lily."
Sassy appeared in the lab. "Master's Lord Malfoy ins Grand Hall and wishes to speak with youse."
She watched them leave and picked up the parchment listing the given items after the potion was brewed with checkmarks on all except the servant's flesh willingly given and the Moon Lily. She picked up a quill and dipped the tip in an inkwell and wrote down next to the entry and placed the quill back down before she left the room.

"Lucius it is good to see you again. I hope that you have word from our Lord?" Grasping his arm in welcome before dropping it and led him to the Library.
He motioned the blonde haired wizard to a chair and went to a cabinet to pour themselves a drink, handing a glass to Lucius and sat down. "What news do you have old friend?"
Lucius sniffed at the sarcastic voice. "Our empire extends as you have sit here idle babysitting that mudblood wife of yours. Europe is now fully in hand and the Mediterranean. Next will be Latin America."
Severus toasted. "The Dark Lord's success!"
Lucius drank down the Firewhiskey and placed the glass on the table before him. "The Dark Lord holds a celebration tonight and he requires you, your son, and the Mudblood to attend. The dress is formal and so no robes or mask needed. It will be held in the Ball Room at the Ministry."
Severus seethed on the inside as he calmly replied. "I remind you that the Mudblood is a Sister of our Inner Circle and there are no Mudbloods in our society. Perhaps I shall whisper into his ear tonight. She helped accomplish what you could not do in Germany after all."
Lucius jumped up reminding himself only two more years. "No need for that Brother Severus and I shall see you tonight. I'll find my own way out."
He watched the wizard leave eyes narrowed. Lucius knew of Voldemort's plan.
He called Sassy to him and told her to inform Hermione of the outing and to prepare appropriately.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Hermione stood in her bedroom looking in the mirror that Sassy held before her dressed in a dark black evening gown, accented by a diamond necklace left over from the former occupants along with the necklace that Severus demanded she wear and never take it off.
"Sassy you've chosen well." Watching the elf vanish the mirror and stood smiling at the praise of her Mistress.
"One more things Mistress." Sassy put the mirror down and moved to her holding a phial of potion in each hand. "Master say drinks as one' for pains." Clawed hand holding a phial up to her and watched her charge drink it and then held another up. "This is for no babes." Hermione looed to the elf for a moment in hesitation before she drank the phial down and handed the empty tube to Sassy.
Severus walked in wearing jet black formal robes with silver snakes and looked to Hermione. Gods she looked beautiful in her black dress and silver eye shadow accenting the necklace that she wore. If it was any other world men would be jealous of him escorting a fine looking woman.
"You are acceptable wife." He growled out.
Hermione moved to him and traced his jaw lightly with a finger. "I know that I am more than that Severus. I can tell by the way you look at me."
Hermione picked up William and wrapped him in a blanket. "Shall we go?"
HGSSHGSSHGSS
They arrived at the ballroom entrance and Hermione looked in. There must be 800 witches and wizards in there.
Peter Pettigrew pulled Severus away and chatted to him and she watched both men look at her and saw Severus nod his head to the short wizard.
Severus walked back. "Go with Brother Peter Hermione. Our Lord requires a moment of your time."
Peter motioned for her to follow and slowed enough so they walked side by side down the dimly lit hall.
"Your gown reveals more than the Deatheater robes you were in when you turned down my right before Sister Hermione. You won't be able to say no next time as I have moved up in service to my Lord."
She pushed down the bile that suddenly rose in her throat at the thought of the short wizard on top of her. Uggh.
Barking out a laugh she replied. "Brother Peter despite the act of clipping your nails, lost weight and clean appearance there is no way I would bed you."
Peter remained silent and opened a door light spilling out of the corridor and allowed her to enter first.
Hermione stood still as her friends jumped up with a gasp of shock.
"The Dark Lord will attend to you shortly." Peter called out and shut the door locking it behind him.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Severus was never one for mingling instead heading to the bar and ordered a Firewhiskey and moved against the wall to prevent unwanted conversation. Alas that was not to be for Lucius came up to him along with his son.
"Slinking against the walls once again old friend? I was hoping to see your mu…er wife to see what see has become. You know the way of these gatherings and decided I wanted a taste of what you watch over."
Severus eyed Lucius and shrugged his shoulders. "You are welcomed to taste but I find myself surprised that you would sully yourself with her Lucius."
Lucius chuckled. "Ah but you reminded me today that everyone is equal. I'll let you know how she rates." Laughing again and left. Severus knew this was his way to get back at him for the threat he gave him earlier.
Severus turned to the son. "And how fare you young Draco? Getting along in your arranged marriage?"
Draco's grey eyes met his Godfather. "Better than what I could have hoped for. Pureblood and she is….interesting despite her oddities."
Draco's eyes darted back and forth before he whispered. "I love her Godfather and our son but father says in two years you will die along the others."
"Silence Draco!" He growled out in a low voice. "Visit me at my manor where we can talk freely. I wonder why you warn me for there is surely benefit for you by doing so. Go now!"
Draco left without a backwards glance.
Severus looked out into the crowded ballroom to find Hermione and did not see her. Nor Peter he thought.
HGSSHGSSHGSS
Hermione looked in at what must be the Ministry playgroup area glancing to the side finding six boys happily playing with toys.
"You bitch! What are you doing here?" Harry shouted out miserable at playing out his part that he promised her. She said that she probably wouldn't be able to see him again and she looked amazing in her gown tonight and elated to see her.
The children looked to the strange woman that entered the room and immediately ran to their parents and began to cry, subconsciously sensing Darkness enter the room.
"Look to your children and still your words Potter. They recognize what I am as they are innocent, at least for now." She chuckled darkly. Gods it killed her to do this to her best friend for he knew her true loyalties.
She used her wand and conjured up a crib and placed her sleeping baby down before moving to a table and pulled out a parchment and began to write. After a few minutes she placed it within a nappy and conjured up a bag, ignoring the hateful words hurled at her and heard the children crying out in fear.
"You scare them more than I do. I think that you need to settle them for our Lord will be along shortly. He won't take crying children well."
She watched her friends settle the children by distracting them with toys and they began to play again keeping away from her all save one.
A thin blonde hair boy with long blonde locks walked up to her holding a cube. It was a Rubik's cube and she loved that particular puzzle for years even after she mastered it when she was a child.
She watched him turn and twirl it, movements a blur until he stopped and gave it to her with a smile. Holding the cube in her hand she asked softly. "Child what is your name?"
The boy continued to smile and spoke. "Abraxis Malfoy." Waiting for a moment and then joined the other children in play.
She glanced to where Luna was sitting and found she was smiling and holding a cube of her own.
Intrigued Hermione turned her cube over to see the pattern of colors and deftly began to turn the rows faster and faster until the colors were all together. She found words glowing on each side.
Love Hope Friendship Understanding Trust Sacrifice
Oh Merlin. Harry was able to tell them the truth. She nodded slightly to Luna before turning the cube again until the colors were mixed up again and placed the cube in the bag she conjured up.
After a while she looked to the door hearing it click and the Dark Lord entered along with Wormtail.
The Dark Lord chuckled as the children scrambled back to their parent and looked to the scary man eyes wide in fear.
Voldemort motioned Wormtail to move forward holding a rack of six phials of potion. "You will administer these to your children or I will kill them." Moving to the crib next to Hermione placing his hand on the sleeping baby and closed his eyes.
Wormtail watched the gathered take the potion out of the rack and gave it to them, watching the boys sputter and grimace. "My Lord it is done." He called out.
Voldemort snapped his eyes open removing his hand from William. "Yes Wormtail and you have done well in my service to date and shall be given a boon."
He turned to Hermione eyes taking in her dress. "Sister Hermione no doubt Severus has noticed the delay of your arrival and I would be amiss if I delayed it further. Holding out a hand to her.
She smiled and took up his hand hearing him speak. "These will take care of your son and if any harm befalls him I will personally torture the one who allowed it."
They watched them leave and the door clicked behind them indicating that it was locked.
Luna encouraged the children back to play watching Harry watch the door.
After ten minutes Harry rushed over to her bag finding the parchment and read it. He handed it to Ron watching him read it and pass it along until Luna read it last and moved to the fireplace and tossed it in watching it burn.
Hermione walked with the Dark Lord and watched two masked Deatheaters open the double doors and entered.
Everyone looked to their Lord and heard his words. "Our celebration begins now."
