Draco stood at a table preparing ingredients laid out under Pettigrew's direction. He wondered what was being brewed as the short rat like man did not refer to a book or parchment. "What are we brewing today Brother?" He asked as he used a knife to slice a bright white lily into straight portions.

"This promises the Dark Lord's immortality forever Lord Malfoy and we are selected to brew this to ensure our Lord's reign forever. He instructed me years ago and a variance of this very brew brought him back to us. An honor that he selected you to assist me Brother. You move up in the ranking."

He listened to the man brag telling him of the potion given to the children of the enemy and that this would activate it and bring the Dark Lord immortality.

Draco felt anger at mention of the children knowing his son was one of them. He debated on killing the wizard and knew it would be useless because he would be caught and killed immediately and not be of any use. He calmed himself and continued preparing the ingredients. He eyed the phial containing the silver blood of the Unicorn and realized that he was assisting in the creation of an evil brew.

Twenty minutes of silence passed before he spoke. "Brother I am finished."

Peter moved to the table and looked to the ingredients noting that they were properly prepared. He could brew any potion but lacked skill of preparing the ingredients required.

"Go Brother and wait for our Lord's call."

Draco nodded and walked out of the room nodding to the Deatheater's of the Outer Circle guarding doors in the main hallway and once out of Voldemort's manor he quickly made his way to the gates and Apparated away.

Arriving at his Manor he threw his outer robes to a house elf asking where his Lady was and moved to find her.

He found her in their bedchambers and rushed to her.

"Draco put me down!" Laughing and found him looking to her fright showing in his eyes.

He put her down continued to hold her. "It begins Luna." He whispered and told her of the duty he performed and Pettigrew's words.

She hugged him tightly and pulled the cube out of her pocket along with a feather and held them out to him. "Tell everyone Draco."

He took it and wrote for a few moments and turned the cube into scrambled colors and sent it away.

"It is done Luna." He whispered placing the cube on the bed stand not letting go of her.

She wrapped her arms around him. "All is set in place and up to the Fates sweet Draco."

Harry listened to his son read Beedle the Bard before bed idly turning the Rubiks cube while stretched out on the settee. He was teacher, father, and mother wrapped in one for Bellatrix never came here at all and the boy never met his mother which was just fine with him.

He continued turning the Rubik's cube and sat up when words appeared on the cube. He read them over a few times putting them to memory before scrambling the cube and sat the cube down and knew it was from Draco and it seemed a generic message and knew that everyone received the same message.

Snape slipped him the wand months ago when he barged in grabbing him by his robes and informed him of Hermione's death as Bellatrix stood just inside the door cackling her crazed laugh. Snape threw him on the floor and laughed nastily. "You have no wand and you will never have hope Potter for there is no one that would ever support you. Hermione served our Lord's bidding and I wanted to squash your foolish notion of hope for there is none for you!" Throwing him on the floor and upon him in a flash and whispered quick words in his ear before continuing. "She was our Lord's most faithful and of the Inner Circle. It is useless for you to hold onto hope for you never had any and she was mine. It was unwillingly at first but I soon broke her of that and made her realize what she needed to do."

Snape stood up and walked to the door. "Thank you Bella for allowing me time with your husband to share my views of Hermione's service."

He stayed on the floor in a daze never hearing the wizard's whispered words until the door slammed shut and picked himself up hearing a clunk and looked to the floor and found a slender box that slipped out of the sleeve of his robes.

He bent down and opened it revealing a wand that looked like his and gasped out when he picked it up feeling the magic within it. There was a parchment as well and used his other hand to pick it up and read.

Potter,

You knew that Hermione survived for a bit and I give you this. Draco has provided the means and soon all your friends shall have one as well. Don't be tempted to use it before you are in front of Voldemort. She sacrificed herself for you Potter so do not disappoint.

"Dad! Did you hear the story?" James stood shaking Harry's shoulder.

Harry came back to the present. "Sorry James your story got me thinking of when I read Beedle's story. The story that you read is my favorite, the one of the Three Brother's."

"Do you think that it is true?"

Harry stood up and walked him to his room. "They say that all tales are based on true events James. Who knows if it is true but it is a nice story to hear how one got the better of Death until he was ready to die on his own time while his brother's died because of their own greed. It is a lesson well worth to be remembered." Placing his seven year old son into his bed and kissed his check. "Tomorrow will be maths. I hope you have studied."

James yawned. "I have Dad. I love you."

Harry pulled the blankets over him and pecked his cheek. "I love you too son."

He moved back to the main chambers and sat down and picked up the cube and idly changed it and solved it. He became in expert in it and soon another message appeared and knew it was meant only for him.

Harry,

We are at the end now and you will be in front of Voldemort. Remember what Professor Dumbledore said about the power of love. Love is the resistance Harry. He said that most do not consider it a power but it is. Remember it Harry when it is time. I love you Harry. You and Ron always and use it when you need to and tell the others.

Hermione

He pulled a feather out after he cleared the message and penned his own message out before sending it to the six and laid down to sleep, his last thought being "Gods, anyone please help me to defeat him so I can save everyone. The snake is still alive. It is the last Horcrux."

Minerva stood at the gates of the mansion of Voldemort and looked to her followers. "This is our last chance my friends. My informant gave a time and means to lower the protection of this place and we will subdue those until we are needed." Handing out thick coarse black robes and Deatheater's mask to the fifty that came to her call. "This will likely mean our death. Any can leave now and will not be thought less of."

All dressed in the robes and placed the mask on and Minerva smiled when a wizard spoke. "We are with you Minerva. I say that you give us hope despite the time that has passed. I am with you." Hearing the others shout "Aye!"

"You know my instruction so let us begin." Holding a hand out and all watched the gate open pleased that her informant was correct. "Remember to subdue those only guarding in the halls. We will be called when needed."

The group moved out.

Voldemort sat in his throne waiting on word from Pettigrew that the brew was complete. He knew the initial potion given years ago would work because he designed it. This other Pettigrew brewed for him was given to him by Chu Lee his ex-mentor when away after graduating from Hogwart's. After the next day he would go to China personally to kill him for there can only be one Dark Lord and it was him.

Bellatrix stood just inside the room and Voldemort smiled coldly and beckoned her to him. "Sit with me Bella as I await Pettigrew. The brew can only be brewed by one faithful." Silencing her shouted protest. "You know as well as I that while your enthusiasm in casting deadly curses and Forgiveables are exceeded by none your skills at potions lack the same skill."

Belletrix pouted for a moment. "I know my Lord but promise me that I can kill him. I want to kill the traitor Severus Snape!"

He looked to her blood red eyes glittering. "I remember you lost your bet with him Bella. He is yours as soon as the ceremony is complete."

Bella cackled out. "Thank you my Lord for your boon."

Peter came in and immediately bowed. "My Lord all is complete and all that is needed is the last ingredient. Brother Draco was perfect in his preparations and I brewed exactly as it should."

"Go Brother Peter and bring it at the time required."

The next day Severus handed Hermione the parchment he received and watched her read it and set it down. "That tells me my place and yours."

Severus looked to her. "It is nothing that we did not know in the first place. We have thirty minutes."

He watched her leave him to dress William and called Sassy to him.

"Master's I serves you." She greeted him with tears in her eyes.

Severus knelt down and touched the elf's gnarled cheek speaking in a gentle voice. "Sassy I am not worth the tears you shed. You have the journal that I have written?"

"Yes Master I'se have it." Sassy replied sadly for he commanded her to read it.

"Sassy you have served me faithfully and you know what I need to next. You must be un-bonded from me for her to have a chance to live if she survives the day."

He watched the small elf tremble. "I'se do Master's and there's never a better Master than you."

"I am honored that you think that. You are released Sassy. Take these clothes Elf and you can remain here for in the morrow this Manor will no longer be of the House of Snape and you are released." Pulling a small dress from his pocket and forced it into her small hands.

He watched her dress and looked to him. "Lucks to you and I'se serves you one last time whens needed."

She watched him stand up and walk away. They would not survive but if William does she would serve him in time when he became of age.

They arrived at Voldemort's Manor greeted by Bellatrix who led them to a room next to the Throne chamber and held the door open motioning them in and closed the door and locked it behind them.

Severus watched the six remaining witches and wizards with their children looking to him with no spouses present. "I hope you have what I provided for you for we will all be dead shortly if you do not." He growled out before snarling. "Close your mouth. You know that we are the same as you and our presence minus the mask and robes of our status proves it." Pulling out sheets of parchments and laid them on the single table in the room.

He watched them pull their wands out and held it out for a moment before hiding it back and moved to read the parchments he provided.

Severus sat in a chair and watched Hermione rush to greet her friends and join them to read the parchments he provided. At least they had a chance to plan.

Harry looked up and found his once hated Professor sitting in a chair watching the proceedings. He moved and held his hand out watching the wizard eye it for a moment before he moved and clasped it.

"You have her eyes Potter." He whispered out. "When Hermione was brought to me I remembered my vow long ago to protect you."

"You did that Sir and I thank you." Knowing that he spoke of his mother.

Severus dropped Harry's hand and remained silent.

Harry waited a moment and went back to the group to plan.
