Chapter 36: Birthday Desires
The morning of December twenty-seventh, Severus awoke to the sleeping blonde witch. Her golden hair fanned out around her; her face soft and relaxed. He slipped carefully out of the bed and into the bathroom, to shower and change for the day.
She was still asleep when he returned. He smirked lightly at her disheveled form. She had turned in her sleep after he had left. The green silk sheets were tangled around her legs, her feet sticking at the bottom.
But his smirk suddenly turned downwards as he began to remember what laid ahead. He knew that he had to confront Katherine about what had transpired at Malfoy Manor the night of the ball. He also had to devise a plan on how he would ask the Dark Lord for Katherine.
Fear over took him at that point. Something inside him went off at the thought of the Dark Lord's rejection to the idea. He had rejected Severus' request to let Lily live. Would he rejected this request as well?
Blocking those thoughts from his mind, Severus strode over to his wardrobe and retrieved a long thin box. He placed it carefully at the foot of the bed, before retreating to his office to converse with Albus until Katherine woke. Hopefully he wouldn't have to wait too long.

About an hour later, Severus sensed his wards going off in his private chambers, coming from the floo. He quickly left his conversation with Albus and entered the next room, only to find an empty bed and discarded box. The new Firebolt, he had bought her, was lying on the bed, not far from the box which had housed it.
Severus sighed. He knew that she couldn't be angry with him, for she had sought him out the night before and stay with him through the night. It confused him to no end.
The floo blazed green again, causing Severus to swing around to face it with wand drawn. But he lowered it just as quickly, as Katherine's form came into view. She looked intently at his half lowered wand with a raised eyebrow and a slight smirk on her lips.
"What's the matter Sev?" Katherine snickered. "Do I make you nervous?"
"No," Severus said hurriedly. "I was just surprised to find that you had left without a word."
"Well," Katherine started, as she walked over to the bed again. "When I woke up and found a Christmas present at the end of the bed, I figured I'd best go and retrieve yours." Severus watched as she sat down on the green clad bed and held out a small box towards him.
It was larger than last years present, his prized Potion Book of Shadows, but it was wrapped in the familiar green and silver paper, just like the first. He took it gingerly from her outstretched hand, and sat down on the bed next to her.
It was heavy and solid, making him even more curious as to what could be inside. Slowly Severus began unwrapping the package, but froze when the present came into view.
"You seem to astound me more and more," Severus said as he looked up at the witch next to him.
"I take it, that you don't have that one yet?" Katherine smirked, as she looked down at the gift.
"Have it!" Severus rose an eyebrow at her. "Katherine, there are only two of these in the world. How in Merlin's name did you get a hold of one?"
"It was in my vault," Katherine exclaimed, as she watched Severus' face closely. "Not sure which side of my family it came from though." Severus shook his head and lifted a book from the wrapping.
It was old and frail, but overall in good condition. The leather binding was dyed blood red and the ends of the spine were chipped, but the interior of the book seemed to be complete and in very good condition. Opening the cover to the first page, Severus stared down at the clear, black lettering.
"L'Alkaest ou le Dissolvant Universel de Van-Helmont," Severus read out loud, slightly stumbling over the French annunciations. "Revelé dans plusieurs Traitez qui en découvrent le Secret. Parle Sr Jean LePelletier, de Roüen. A Rouen, Chez Guillaume Behourt, vis-à-vis la Fontaine de S. Lo, à la Ville de Venife. M. DCCIV.
"M DCCIV. 1704," Severus said, as he gently flipped through the aging pages. "It truly is the first edition from Jean Le Pelletier."
"There is another one in there too," Katherine smiled slightly at him. Severus put the first book down and pulled out another rare and fascinating old tome.
"Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus," Severus read. He looked up at Katherine was pure astonishment. "Katherine? Is this another first edition?"
"Of course," Katherine smiled sadly down at the marbled bound book in his hands. "It was my mother's. She was always fascinated by myths and legends. But I had no interest in them, and I thought that maybe you would be interested."
"It is astonishing," Severus said, looking back at the book. "This book was first published in 1558. If my memory serves me correctly, the author Oluas Magnus was a Swedish Bishop, who focused on northern folklore depicting myths, legends and monsters, then later on focusing on Witchcraft and sea monsters."
"So I take it you like them both?" Katherine smirked.
"Of course," Severus said. "But I believe that I will need to use a translation spell for both French and Italian on these. My French is rather rusty and my Italian is horrible."
"I'm glad you like them," Katherine said, as she turned and picked up her broom. "And thank you for my new broom. I'll try not to make a habit of breaking them."
"I should hope not," Severus smirked, before becoming serious again. "Katherine, we need to talk."
"About what?"
"About what happened to you on Christmas eve," Severus said, as he put the books down and turned to face her.
"Nothing happened."
"Don't lie to me," Severus snarled, as he rose from the bed quickly. "Tell me what happened between the time you left the ballroom to the time you left for Hogwarts."
"Don't worry about it Severus," Katherine snapped back. "I took care of it. It's over and done."
"Don't worry about it?" Severus sneered. "Whatever happened made you angry enough to lock yourself away for two days straight. So why won't you tell me?"
"Because it doesn't concern you," she lied. "I handled it, okay. It is done."
"Fine," Severus said coldly. "But I still wish that you would confide in me a little more."
"I think I confide in you a little more than you think I do," Katherine retorted. "We better get moving if we want to make it to breakfast in the Great Hall."
"Very well," Severus said, as he watched Katherine rise with her broom, and head to the floo again.
"I'll see you down there in a couple of minutes," Katherine said, before flooing herself back to her quarters to change. Once he was alone again, Severus mentally cursed himself for not being able to get her to talk. He hoped beyond hoped, that whatever had happened at the Yuletide Ball, was truly over and done with.

New Year's passed without much incident, but Severus was worried about Katherine's mental state. Night after night consisted of nothing but hungered sex from her. And it was not only limited to after hours; sometimes appearing out of nowhere, seduce him and disappear just as quickly. It was frustrating Severus to no end.
He was glad when the students return on the fifth of January. Katherine seemed to have settle down a bit, and began returning to his bed, only to sleep beside him for security once more.
On the night of January ninth, Severus and Katherine were quietly celebrating his thirty-eight birthday in his quarters. A bottle of elf-made wine between them and another old tome from Katherine's vault was beside it on the table. Severus quietly mused that he actually had two good birthdays in a row. And it was thanks to Katherine.
But that thought soon vanished, as their Dark Marks began to burn.
Both witch and wizard stood quickly, and made for their cloaks and mask, but a sudden frantic knocking at the office door made Severus pause. He strode to the door quickly, clasping his cloak around his as he went.
"You will have to come back another…" Severus said, as he wrenched open the door, but stopped when he saw who was on the other side. "Mr. Malfoy?"
"Draco?" Katherine asked, throwing on her cloak behind Severus. "What do you need?"
"My mark, it's burning," Draco said hesitantly. "I'm being summoned."
"As are we," Severus said, as he pulled the boy into the office. "Come, we will all disapparate from here." Severus and Katherine waited for Draco to tie his cloak and put his mask on, before the three touched their wands to their marks, and vanished from the office.

The two wizards and the witch appeared before their master in the old ballroom. Loud cracks sounded around them as follower after follower heeded the call of the Dark Lord. The said Lord stood in the middle of the circle of followers, watching over the group as to make sure that each one came to his side.
Three women laid before him; their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged. Severus didn't like the looks of this; for he knew one of the women. A slender girl, with light brown hair; she was another Hufflepuff, a muggleborn, and one of his former students. He looked around the circle carefully, noting the Fenrir was now gracing his presence in the inner circle, even though he was not one.
'Grayback must have brought the women in,' Severus thought to himself as he continued look around. Bellatrix, the Lestrange brothers, Mulciber, Avery, MacNair, Goyle, Crabbe, and Lucius. The only ones missing, that he could think of, were the Carrows, who were back at Hogwarts.
"Welcome," the Dark Lord hissed. "Tonight I bring before you three disgraces to the wizarding world. Grayback caught them trying to flee the country, before their interrogating at the Ministry. They have been brought here tonight, to be made examples of.
"They are muggleborn," the Dark Lord sneered. "And they shall be punished for their mistake. CRUCIO!" The Dark Lord pointed his wand at the first woman; her body convulsed under the curse and her screams were muffled by the gag that bound her mouth.
He let up on the first round of torture, only to inflict the curse on her again, and again, until she passed out from the pain. The Dark Lord carried onto the next woman, doing the same to her, then finally the third.
Severus fought himself to keep the bile from rising in his throat, as he watched the Dark Lord torture his former student. After the Dark Lord had finished his demonstration, he turned back to the group with a smirk on his face.
"I believe I have proven my point," he hissed, and then gestured to the battered women. "They are now yours for your entertainment. After you are finished, Bella and Katherine will rid of them. Ladies you are dismissed."
Severus watched as Bellatrix and Katherine bowed and kissed the hem of the Dark Lord robes before retreating from the room. Katherine headed in the direction of the parlor, while Bellatrix followed the Dark Lord towards his private study.
"Now's my chance," Severus thought as he passed the others who began descended on the broken bodies of the Dark Lord's victims. He fought the bile once more, as he caught MacNair and Mulciber out of the corner of his eyes. They ripped the clothes off the first woman and began to beat and rape her at the same time.
But at the same time, he saw Avery back away from the group and sit down in a chair near the back of the room. Avery was studying his hands intently, but looked up and held Severus' gaze for a moment before looking down again.
The others had removed a gag from one of the women, and her screams began echoing violently throughout the room. Draco had placed himself in a corner, as far away from the group as possible; trying not to watch his father, who took the third woman forcibly, causing her to scream so loud, Severus thought it would shatter the window.
He quickly knocked on the door of the study and entered when the Dark Lord told him to enter. Bellatrix stood behind the red eyed wizard, fawning over him, as he sat in his throne-like chair.
"Severus," the Dark Lord hissed, as Severus knelt before him and kiss his robes. "What bring you here?" The black eyed wizard looked up into the red eyes of the Dark Lord.
"My Lord," Severus' eyes remained fixed on the Dark Lord, "I've come with a request."
"A request?"
"Yes, my Lord," Severus said. "I've come to request a specific woman to be my wife."
"And who do you desire Severus? Another Mudblood," the Dark Lord sneered, while Bellatrix cackled behind him.
"No, my Lord," Severus said calmly. "She is one of us. A follower."
"Who is it?"
"I've come to ask for Katherine Dumbledore, my Lord," Severus said, then silently held his breath as he awaited the Dark Lord's verdict.
"Why should I give Dumbledore to you Severus?" the Dark Lord asked. "You do realize that she is a member of the inner circle."
"I do, my Lord," Severus confirmed. "But if one would think about it, it would only be logical."
"How so Severus?"
"Katherine and I come from the same stock, my Lord," Severus said, quoting Avery on Christmas Eve. "We are both well skilled duelers and high class potion makers, but we are the only half-bloods within the inner circle.
"Why give either one of us to a pure blood mate, which will only taint that pure blood lineage. A half blood to a half blood would make more sense, plus our offspring would insure powerful and loyal followers to you, my Lord."
"My Lord, you mustn't…" Bellatrix hissed, but the Dark Lord raised a hand to stop her complaints.
"Now, now Bellatrix," the Dark Lord hissed. "Severus makes a good point. Why taint pure blood line with their half blood ones, when they could procreate with each other." The Dark Lord went silent, as he considered Severus' request. Bellatrix glared at Severus, who held his breath again.
"Very well Severus," the Dark Lord finally said. "Katherine is yours. But she has one last assignment to fulfill before rearing any offspring. Understood!"
"Of course, my Lord," Severus said, as he bowed to kiss the hem of his robes again. "Thank you my Lord."
"You are dismissed Severus."

"Hello Cissy," Katherine said as she entered the parlor. Narcissa sat alone near the fire; a book in her hands, but her eyes were unfocused on the page. "Are you alright?"
"Oh…," Narcissa jumped a bit, after Katherine broke her stare. "Katherine, I'm sorry. I was trying to block out the screams. Please sit down." The two woman sat in silence for a little while, but Narcissa finally began to talk.
"You didn't stay the night of the ball," Narcissa stated, looking over at the younger witch. "How come?"
"Oh…um…we were needed back at Hogwarts," Katherine lied. How could she tell Cissy that her husband tried to seduce her in their own home. The door to the parlor suddenly burst open, as Avery entered.
"Avery?" Katherine questioned. "What's going on?"
"They're finished?" he stated. Katherine noted he looked paler than normal, and he seemed jittery.
"Already?"
"Fortunately," he sighed. "The Dark Lord had tortured them too much, taking all the fight out of them. The women didn't last long."
"Alright," Katherine sighed, rising from her chair. "I better go clean up."
"Katherine," Avery said, gripped her arm as she began to leave. "Be careful. They're not happy in there."
"I'll be fine Avery. Thank you," Katherine smirked at him. "Go home to your wife."
Katherine walked down the silent hallway alone, and entered the ballroom swiftly. The three broken bodies laid bloodied and bruised upon the marble flooring. Lucius was standing near them, smirking slightly at her.
"Where's Bella?" Lucius asked.
"To hell if I know," Katherine sneered, as she looked down at the mess that she was expected to clean, and alone it looked like.
"Good," Lucius remarked. "Grab her."

After his meeting with the Dark Lord, Severus took a different exit and made his way to the parlor to find Katherine.
It had worked. Katherine was to be his, and he hoped to return to Hogwarts as soon as possible to tell Albus that the plan had worked. Upon entering the parlor, he found Narcissa sitting alone.
"Hello Severus," Narcissa said, as she stood to greet him.
"Narcissa," Severus said. "Where's Katherine?"
"She's gone to clean up," Narcissa said, as she fidgeted with the hem of her robes.
"Already?"
"Yes, apparently…" Narcissa started, but was interrupted by the door of the parlor suddenly bursting open.
"MOTHER. PROFESSOR." Draco yelled through ragged breath. Severus and Narcissa turned towards the boy with a confused look as to Draco's actions.
"Draco, what is the matter?" Narcissa asked, getting up from her chair near the fire.
"It's Professor Dumbledore." Draco panted. "She was suppose to rid of the Muggleborns, after the others were done with them, but they didn't last as long as the others wanted them to…so they turned on Katherine, and…"
But Draco couldn't finish, as Severus had flown at him, grabbing the boy by the collar. Draco eyes were wide with fear, but not because of his professor's reaction, but due to what he had witnessed in the meeting hall.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED?" Severus bellowed into the boy's face.
"They attacked her…" Draco swallowed hard. "I think they're going to try and…rape her, sir." The last part coming out at no more than a whisper. Severus' eyes narrow in anger and he let go of Draco's shirt. His chest began to heave and he turned towards Narcissa again.
"Find your sister and get her to the meeting room," Severus told her, then turned and headed to the hall. But not before grabbing Draco by the scruff of the neck and dragging the boy with him.
Severus dashed down the hallway, followed closely by Draco. His brain overturning the events that could be happening inside the meeting room.
'Maybe she's alright. Maybe Bellatrix showed up before anything had happened,' he thought frantically as they rounded the corner near the ballroom.
As they reached the doors to the old ballroom, Severus sent a quick blasting spell at the handles, breaking the locks. He rushed into the room, only to hear two "Expelliarmus"shouted.
Both his and Draco's wands were thrown from their grasps, and then rough hands were pinning them to the wall. Severus' eyes searched the room frantically for Katherine. Crabbe and Goyle had him restrained so tightly to the wall, that he could hardly move his head to look around the room.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see Draco being immobilized by MacNair and Mulciber. Both men struggled against their capturers, but to no success.
"Come to watch the show Snape?" Severus heard Greyback hiss. He turned his head just enough towards the voice, only to see a sight that he wished he hadn't.
