Chapter 33: Carrow, Carrow
"Dumbledore's Army Still Recruiting!"
"Support Harry Potter!"
It was the seventh time this week that Severus woke to find graffiti on the walls near the Great Hall. The blasted D.A. was quickly gaining members after the return of four Death Eaters to the school, and were gaining confidence as well. The Carrows along with Katherine had caught several students, who had snuck out of their common rooms after curfew and painted the slogans on the walls.
Thus, they were given detention with the Carrow siblings. Severus dreaded those detentions, for he knew what went on during them, but could not do anything about it. If he were to interfere, it would jeopardize his role.
In the classrooms, it was worse. Most members of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had decided to join Dumbledore's Army, and joined the rebellious Gryffindors in acting up and voicing out in both Carrows' classes, as well as Katherine's. Severus was just glad that Katherine seemed to have his Slytherins, no her Slytherins, under control. Although she had expressed concerns about Draco's behavior, or lack there of.
The boy had been unusually quiet and distant since his return to the school. Severus was surprised by Draco's return, wondering why the Dark Lord allowed him back. Katherine had tried talking to him, but got nothing in return.
As September turned into October, the weather changed dramatically. The skies were becoming a darker gray, the winds became harsher and the trees shed their leaves, leaving the grounds looking more sinister than ever before.
Severus stood at the large paned window, watching a lone figure in black stand along the shoreline of the Black Lake. It seemed like the same time every day, that the figure would appear there, just to stand and stare out over the glassy surface of the darken lake. He continued to watch the person as the form turned from their spot and began walking towards the school. He knew where the person was headed, and it would take her a total of ten minutes to arrive.
"Severus," a voice behind him, startled him out of his gazes. Severus turned towards Albus' portrait, to find the old man looking at him intently. "How is she?"
"She is eating better," Severus sighed, as he walked to his desk and leaned against to face the portrait. "But your Gryffindors are getting to her. She has been rather stressed lately."
Stress was an understatement. Severus knew that it was way beyond just normal stress. It seemed like every other day that she would appear in his quarters and either apparate with him to Glenariff forest to duel or seduce him as quickly as possible. And then again, sometimes it was both.
Katherine had seemed to become a permanent fixture of his bed. He couldn't remember a morning, during the last month, that he hadn't woken up next to her. He felt a strange comfort from it, waking up to a beautiful woman, who was with him willingly and not forced to be there.
"Have you had a chance to look into her condition?" Albus asked, eyeing the younger wizard carefully.
"I've tried Albus," Severus growled in frustrated. "No where can I find anything of the symptoms that she described that night of your death. I looked everywhere. I've searched ever book in this office. Nothing!"
"And what about your mind connection? Have you found out how that is possible?"
"No." Severus shook his head. "Not a damn thing."
"I see." The two went silent, both contemplating the situation. The roar of the floo in Severus' private quarters alerted both wizards that the witch in question had arrived.
"Right on time," Severus muttered, as he looked down at his pocket watch, that was sitting on the desk. "I wonder what she has to talk about tonight." Severus still hadn't told Albus why Katherine truly showed up in his quarters so late at night.
"Goodnight Severus," Albus said, as Severus slipped silently into his bedchambers.
Severus had expect to get jumped as soon as he returned the room, but to his surprise, Katherine was already dressed and half asleep in the bed. Severus quietly strode over to the large four-poster, and glanced down at the sleeping witch.
Her blonde hair was fanned out across the emerald pillowcase, shining brightly against the dark fabric. Her dark eyelashes rested softly against her pale skin, but would flutter ever so slightly, as her eyes shifted under their lids as Katherine entered dream state.
Severus tentatively reached out and lightly brushed a strand of hair away from her face. He was amazed that Katherine was here. She had not come to duel or to relieve her stress in other ways, but simply had just wanted to sleep. Severus now knew he had her full trust again.
He slipped away into his private bathroom to shower and change. When he returned, he found Katherine had shifted slightly and was now lying on her side, facing the spot where he would occupy. Severus slowly got into the bed alongside the witch and immediately stiffened as Katherine shifted again, pressing her body into his side.
Severus shifted slightly to accommodate the sleeping woman beside him, and wrapped an arm around her waist, forcing Katherine to press against him even more.
'Maybe Albus is right,' Severus sighed, pulling Katherine even closer to him. 'Maybe there is more here than just friendship.'
As Friday near, Severus found himself somewhat relieved, when the D.A. had seemed to quiet down a bit since the previous days. But that feeling was soon to be interrupted. A sudden knock at the door, broke him of his concentration.
"Enter," Severus yelled. Katherine barged her way into the room, followed by the Carrow siblings.
"Headmaster," Katherine said, rather angrily. "Please explain to these idiots, that I am allowed to administer detentions to how I see fit."
"Snape, she…" Amycus began to complain, but was cut off by Severus, who rose a hand to silence him.
"Professor Dumbledore is the deputy headmistress," Severus said, raising from his chair. "And as such, she is allowed to see to certain detentions in the ways she deems fit. Who's detention are you administering anyway?" Severus asked, turning back to Katherine.
"Longbottom and Finnigan, whom tried to blow up my classroom this morning," Katherine explained. "Along with Ms. Weasley, whom I caught decorating the hallways this morning."
"Very well," Severus said. "The two of you are dismissed," he said, waving off the Carrows. Severus waited until the siblings, who were muttering under their breaths, left the room before addressing Katherine again.
"What will you be having them do tonight in their detention?" Severus asked, as he sat back down behind his desk.
"Well, since I have a lot of grading to do tonight," Katherine started, as she began to pace in front of his desk. "I'm simply going to have them scrub caldrons and then write lines."
"Lines?"
"Blood Quill, Sev."
"Ah," Severus murmured, but inside his head the gears were turning. 'Seems like a pretty easy punishment from Katherine.' Severus thought to himself. But his thoughts were once again interrupted, by an owl at the window. He watched as Katherine opened the pane to allow the bird entrance.
The great horned owl swooped in, and landed gracefully on Severus desk; sticking out its' leg that held the parchment. Once free of its' burden, the owl took flight again and retreated back through the small window and into the night.
Severus looked down at the scroll in his hand. The handwriting was familiar, but he wondered what in Merlin's name did the person want. Carefully breaking the seal and unrolling it, he eyes quickly scanned the letter over.
"It seems like you will receiving a visitor tonight," Severus said, as he handed the letter over to Katherine, who quickly read through it.
"Tell him to meet me in my office at eight o'clock," Katherine told him. "I'll see you later tonight then." She said, as she began to head towards the door.
"Of course."
A knock came about ten to eight, at Katherine's office door. Longbottom was still working through his batch of caldrons, while Finnigan and Weasley were now onto doing their lines with the Blood Quills.
"ENTER!" Katherine yelled from her desk, where she was currently grading fifth year papers. The door creaked opened, and a tall man with dark hair strode into the room.
"Dumbledore," Avery greeted her. "You're looking well."
"If moody and tired are what you are looking for, then yes I am well," Katherine smirked slightly, as she rose to greet him as well. "Good to see you again Avery. What can I do for you?"
"Right to the point, eh?"
"As always."
"Well, I rather discuss this in private if we could," Avery said, glancing at the three Gryffindors in the room.
"Of course," Katherine gestured to the potions cupboard. "I need to do some inventory, so why don't we talk in there." Avery nodded in agreement and followed Katherine into the storeroom. "Now, what's this all about?"
"Well," Avery paused, watching Katherine sort through the bottle lined shelves. "I've been recently given a wife." Avery watched as Katherine's hand froze in mid-air.
"Who?" Katherine asked, turning back to face her former classmate.
"A young girl, by the name of Melody Pennington," Avery said, as he looked around the storeroom. "Pureblood, of course."
"How old?" Katherine said, raising an eyebrow in his direction.
"Seventeen."
"Oh," Katherine muttered, as she returned to her potions. "And you're telling me this why?"
"Because the Dark Lord is unsatisfied with the fact that I have not been able to impregnate her yet," Avery grumbled. "Katherine, I need a fertility potion. You and Severus are the only ones I trust to make it."
"Alright," Katherine mumbled, as she pushed the ladder over to a particular section of shelves and climbed up to the very top. She carefully reached behind several bottle, and pulled out a red colored bottle from the very back.
"Here," Katherine said, handing Avery the flask as she reached the bottom of the ladder again. "It's the only one I have. I use it as a demonstration for my seventh years, but you can have it."
"Thank you Katherine," Avery said, taking the small bottle from her hands. "The Dark Lord said that if I didn't have her with child in a month's time, she would be sent on to another."
"Well, this potion will guarantee that will not happen," Katherine said, as she continued on with her inventory. The two fell silent, and Avery leaned against the small table, continuing to watch the blonde witch.
"How's Snape?" he suddenly asked. Katherine stopped dead again, and turned to face him with a raised eyebrow.
"Fine. Why?"
"Listen Katherine," Avery sighed, putting his hands up to clam her reaction. "I'm just going to say it, and get it over with. Rumor has it that you two have become involved."
"Where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor?" Katherine snorted, trying to act as normal as possible.
"Narcissa." Katherine clenched her jaw shut, swearing at the older witch in her mind. "It's true isn't it?" Avery asked, watching Katherine's reactions closely.
"We are not involved Avery," Katherine hissed. "It is simply an agreement between us."
"You mean the same agreement as you two had back when you first joined?" Avery asked, as Katherine threw him a questioning look. "Yeah, I knew about it. Severus must had told Lucius, and he let it slip at Goyle's bachelor party. Never seen Severus leave a place so fast in all my life."
"I remember that night," Katherine said in defeat. "Never told me what the matter was. Locked himself in the lab for almost three days straight, then came up and just about screwed the living daylights out of me."
"You two just better watch yourselves," Avery told her. "If the Dark Lord finds out, things could ugly."
"Duly noted," Katherine said. Avery and her talked a little while longer, before he departed. All the while never knowing that two pairs of ears, had heard ever word they said.
Long after the three troublemaking students had gone, Katherine starting working on the last bit of grading. But her mind kept wandering back to the conversation she had with Avery. He had all but confirmed that he was now at least the second person that knew of Severus and her agreement.
But if she knew better, Bella and Lucius probably knew as well. And maybe even Draco. Katherine sighed and leaned back in her chair.
'Why does Cissy have to be so nosy,' Katherine thought, as she rubbed her hands over her face. A knock at the door, startled her out of her thoughts. Katherine glanced at the clock wondering who in the world would be knocking at this hour of the night, considering it was well after eleven. 'Wouldn't be Severus. He'd just use the floo.'
"Enter," Katherine shouted, and looked down to continue with her grading. The door creaked up slowly, then slammed shut, making Katherine's head snap upward to see who it was. Amycus Carrow stood before her, with an ugly smirk upon his face.
"Amycus, what do you want?" Katherine sneered, hating that the man decided to pick a bone with her at this late of hour.
"You." Amycus smirked.
"Obviously," Katherine rolled her eyes at him, and rose from her chair. She slowly moved around the desk to lean against the front of it. "So, what is it?"
"As I said before," Amycus said, moving closer to her. "I want you."
"Beg pardon?" Katherine rose a questionable eyebrow at him, as he moved to within inches of her body.
"Been hearing that you are giving the Headmaster a free ride," Amycus said, placing his hand on the desk, on either side of her. "Now it's my turn." Katherine's eyes narrowed, and she brought her hands up quickly and roughly pushed him away from her.
"Whatever your source of information is," Katherine sneered at him. "They are just rumors Carrow."
"My sources are very good actually," Amycus smirked, coming towards her again. "I heard everything you and Avery were saying tonight. Everything from some sort of agreement, to Snape fucking the living daylights out of you…"
Amycus was cut off suddenly, as Katherine's hand made contact with his face. The thick-headed Death Eater recoiled, clutching his face with both of his hands.
"YOU BITCH!" he yelled, and made to jump her, but Katherine was faster. She pulled her wand out from her sleeve and hit Amycus with a blasting spell, sending him backwards into the stone wall. Amycus hit the wall, with a sickening thud and fell to the hit in a heap.
Katherine slowly walked towards the unconscious man, with wand at the ready, just in case. She blamed herself for not putting a silencing spell on the storeroom, but at the time she didn't think that Avery and her conversation would turn out the way it had. But she knew want she had to do. The Dark Lord couldn't know of the agreement.
"Obliviate." Katherine erased all memories that involved the acknowledgment of her and Severus' agreement along with what had happened in her classroom. She then levitated Amycus' body down to the door of his quarters, where she left him lay, no worrying about that he may spend the night on the corridor floor.
She quickly returned to her quarters and floo to Severus' private bedchamber.
Severus was beginning to worry. Katherine was later than normal tonight, and he was concerned that something had transpired between her and the students. As he paced his office, he reflected back to Avery visit.
After his talk with Katherine, Avery had made his way up to the Headmaster's office to seek out Severus. The two talked for only a half an hour, but Severus noticed that something seemed off. Avery, although a rather quiet man, seemed nervous and jumpy, and Severus didn't quite know what to make of it.
The thing that really made him think was when Avery asked, 'How Katherine was?' Severus frowned the more he thought about it; it just didn't make any sense, especially since he had just talked to the witch no more than ten minutes ago. Finally, he sat down heavily in his chair behind the desk and rubbed the bridge of his nose. A knock at the office door, jerked him out of his thoughts.
'Merlin's bread,' Severus thought, irritably. 'It's nearly eleven at night.'
"ENTER!" Severus bellowed at the door.
"Headmaster," a voice said. "May I have a word with you?" Severus looked up to see Alecto Carrow closing the door behind her.
"Make it fast Alecto," Severus sneered. "I was just about to turn in for the night."
"Mind if I join you then," Alecto smirked slightly, as she walked towards his desk.
"I beg your pardon."
"Let's just say that I'm probably ten times better than Dumbledore is in the sack," Alecto said, licking her lips and coming around the side of the desk. She stopped inches from Severus' sitting form and put her pudgy hands on the armrests of the chair. "Let me be your next ride Head…master…"
"Alecto," Severus' voice becoming dangerously low. "I suggest you step back before I have to reprimand your behavior to the Dark Lord."
"I could do the same to you, you know," Alecto smirked again. "I'm sure the Dark Lord would just love to know all about your agreement with Dumbledore. But I could be persuaded to be quiet, as long as I get what I want." Suddenly, Alecto straddle his thin frame with her stout body, in his chair.
She began rubbing herself against his crotch and went to move her face to his neck. Severus went for his wand, in order to try and blast the witch off of him, but was cut short.
"STUPEFY!" another woman's voice shouted, and instantly Alecto's body went limp and fell against him. His head snapped up to find Katherine glaring at the unconscious witch in his lap.
Katherine roughly grabbed Alecto's robes and pulled her off and onto the floor. Severus noted how narrowed her eyes were, as she continued to glare at Alecto. Her wand was gripped so tightly in her hand, that he though it would snap in two.
"Obliviate," Katherine hissed, as she pointed her wand at Alecto's head. Severus watched as Katherine then preceded to levitate the unconscious witch to the floo and barked out the destination, before sending Alecto's body flying into the green flame and out of sight.
"Katherine…" Severus began, but stopped at the sight of Katherine's hatred glare. She walked over to him quickly, grabbing him by the front of his robes and pulling him out of his chair.
Once he was on his feet, Katherine turned on the spot and disapparated them away.
Severus landed in a heap on the hard, semi-frozen ground of Glenariff Forest. They were not too far from where they had camped during the summer.
"GET UP!" Katherine yelled at him, pacing threateningly in front of him, like a lion in a cage at the zoo would do. Severus pulled his wand out from his robes and slowly rose from the ground.
"Katherine…" Severus warned her, but was cut off as a hex was thrown his way. He blocked it just in time, but Katherine had already began firing off another spell.
Severus continued to block spell after spell. Finally after some time, Katherine seemed to be losing magical steam, but definitely not physical steam. Severus disapparated just in time, avoiding Katherine's lunging body.
He apparated just behind and grabbed her arms; pinning them to her person. He forced her back into his chest and held her there, hoping it would calm her down. Katherine struggled against him, swearing under her breath.
"What, you want your fucking ride now?" Katherine snarled at him, as she continued to fight him. "You want your fucking free ride?"
"KATHERINE!" Severus yelled at her, turning her around in one fluid movement, and gave her a violent shake. "You are not a free ride. I don't know where Alecto found out about our agreement, but at least she won't remember it."
"She wasn't the only one," Katherine hissed, still trying to push away from him.
"What do you mean?"
"Amycus came to my office tonight," Katherine growled. "He was looking for his 'free ride.'"
"Did he touch you?"
"No," Katherine sneered. "I didn't give him the chance. Blasted him into the wall and then obliviated him. Avery knows because of Cissy. Amycus overheard us." Severus sighed, thanking Merlin that that over-grown gorilla didn't touch her, but inwardly cursed both Avery and Narcissa for their loose tongues. Katherine continued to struggle in his arms, but was fighting a losing battle.
"You are not a free ride Katherine," Severus said sincerely. "If you were, you wouldn't be a member of the Inner Circle. You would be just another Death Eater's possession, which you are not." Katherine finally subsided her struggle, and hung limply in his hands.
"Besides," Severus continued. "I rather be in this agreement with an intelligent, cunning witch and not some Knockturn Alley prostitute looking for a quick galleon." Katherine opened her mouth to respond, but Severus didn't give her the chance as he claimed her lips with his.
The air in Northern Ireland was brisk, causing white puffs of air to form when Severus lips left hers to search her jaw line back to her ear. Severus' arms released hers, and wound their way around her waist. Katherine's hands slid up his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Severus slowly slid his hands up her back and wound his fingers into her golden hair. He could feel Katherine's breathing become heavily, as he nipped her neck from the bottom of her ear down to the base of her neck. Katherine's hands released his neck and drop to his neckline, to begin the task of undoing collection of tiny black buttons that lined the center of his frock.
Her fingers fumbled with the first few, causing her to growl slightly at the bothersome things. Katherine pushed Severus back a few inches, and retrieved her wand. She aimed it at the row of buttons, silently casting a spell that undone them all at once, and even the white collared shirt underneath.
Severus suppressed a shiver, as the cool air hit his pale chest. He watched silently as Katherine did the same to her own frock and blouse, then pulled her back towards him. His hands searched her alabaster skin, causing goose pimps to form from his feather light touches.
Her nipples hardened under her bra, as the bitter fall air grazed her body. Severus bent to brush his lips farther down her body, and began to pull her down with him. He quickly removed his wand, vanishing their clothing, but not before transfiguring his robes into a blanket. With another wave, he cast a warming charm on them, then gently pushed Katherine's naked body down onto the blanket.
One of Severus' rough hands cupped her breast and the other wandered down to between her thighs. Severus slid a finger into her wet folds, as his lips claimed hers again. He stroked her gently, yet firmly, matching the strokes with his tongue and lips.
Katherine's hands brushed over his chest and down his abdomen, searching for his heated sex. Severus inhaled sharply as her firm hand found his cock and began stroking it; running her fingertips over his slit and down the length of him to his balls.
He laid himself on top of her and pressed his throbbing member at her entrance. Katherine let out a small moan, that was muffled by Severus's mouth. Slowly, and tenderly he pushed himself inside her, then still
Severus cupped her breast in one of his hands again, teasing the pink bud between his thumb and index finger. He began to move, slowly at first, withdrawing almost all the way before slowly pushing himself back in. He did this several times, causing Katherine to squirm beneath him.
"Severus…Sev…please," Katherine muttered into his mouth. She lifted her hips slightly to allow him greater access. Severus groaned as his hips made contact with hers, and began to pick up the pace. His thrusts became harder, and his fingers dug into the blanket beneath them.
Katherine's soft moans, became louder; her fingers dug into his back, holding him tight against her. Despite the cool air, sweat poured down their bodies. Both were panting heavily, but never released each others lips. Severus could feel Katherine's climax coming and reached a hand down to rub against her clit, sending her over the edge.
She came hard, moaning loudly into his hot mouth. Severus groaned, as her sleeve gripped him, milking him, then quickly his came. His release tore through them both, as his semen spilled into her.
Severus gently collapsed onto her, burying his nose in her cherry blossom scented hair. As their hearts slowed down, he grabbed his wand and cast a cleaning spell on both of them, before making their clothes reappear.
The two laid side by side, staring up at the stars in the October sky. Severus turned his head to look at her, finding her to have a calculating look on her face. He wondered what she was thinking. Was it about her future? Her past? Albus?
"Sev…" her soft voice brought him out of his thoughts. "I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For thinking that you thought of me as a 'free ride.'"
"You shouldn't be apologizing to me," Severus said, as he rose from the blanket. "You were angry, and had every right to be. Amycus and Alecto deserved what they got tonight. You have nothing to be sorry about."
"Thank you Sev," Katherine said, as he helped her up and grabbed the blanket from the ground. "I can always count on you to be there for me."
'Merlin, I hope I can save you in the end,' Severus thought as he gripped her to him tightly and disapparated them back to Hogwarts.
