Chapter 38: Given
"Come to watch the show Snape…Snape…Snape…."
"I'm only getting what I didn't get at Yule…"
"I've been waiting a long time for this…"
"NO!"
Severus' eyes snapped open quickly and his breathing was ragged. Every time he tried to sleep, the same images of flashed through his mind. He wanted so much to take a sleeping draught, but he knew that it would be unwise. If the Dark Lord should call, he had to be ready.
His eyes drifted over the sleeping witch that was laying to his right. Her face was relaxed, but there were still stains from where the tears had slid down her cheeks. The redness was gone, as well as the puffiness, but he feared most for her mental state.
Katherine stirred in her sleep under his gaze; the cloak and linen slipping off slightly, revealing the pale milky flesh of her shoulder. Severus watched as she slowly opened her eyes, blinking away the haze the clouded her vision.
"Good morning," Severus said quietly, as he watched her eyes for any hints of panic or distress.
"What's so good about it?" Katherine mumbled, pulling the linen back over her shoulder and hugged it closer to her body. Of course, he couldn't answer that. What was good about it, except for the fact that she would be okay, in time.
Her ice blue eyes held both anger and sadness within them. Anger at the betrayal of a friend, and sadness about the fact it had even happened. Severus knew he would have to ask her again about what had happened the night of the Yule Ball, and now also what happened just last night before he arrived.
"Katherine," Severus said calmly, as he tried to reach out for her hand, but she flinched away from him. "I need to know what happened on the night of the ball. You need to tell me."
"I can't," Katherine whispered, lowering her eyes away from him.
"Katherine please," Severus implored. "I need to know what happened between you and Lucius that night. I need to understand why this has happened."
"I can't Sev," Katherine stammered, the tears forming in her eyes again. "I just can't say it."
"Then show me," Severus pleaded. "Open your mind. Let me see the memories then." Katherine swallowed hard, before nodding her consent. Severus slowly reach out and raised her chin, forcing her to look at him once again.
"I'll try to be as gentle as possible," Severus told her, as he looked into her eyes again. "Legilimens."
Severus saw Katherine perched upon the ottoman in his room at Malfoy Manor. Her back was to the door and she was watching the fire intently. The door opened from the hallway, revealing Lucius, but Katherine had yet to turn around.
"Sev, could you help me with the zipper and the corset?" Katherine had asked, with a slight smirk on her face. "I hat flicking my wand at something I can't see." Severus watched as Lucius walked across the room and stopped just behind her.
He watched a frown form on Katherine's face, just before Lucius reached out and tugged at the back of the dress, unzipping it. His other hand came up and brushed across her bare shoulder.
Katherine flinched at the contact and quickly grabbed her wand. She stood hastily and turned towards the blond wizard, jabbing her wand into his chest. She held her dress with one hand, as the other continued to hold her wand to his person.
"Lucius?" Katherine snarled. "Get out!"
"I think not," Lucius sneered at her, as he stepped around the ottoman. Severus watched as Katherine back up, but tripped over her dress. He growled inwardly as Lucius grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close to him.
"I know about you and Snape," Lucius hissed into her ear. "Why waste yourself on a half-blood, when you can have pure-blood."
"Don't waste your breathe Lucius," Katherine snarled, as she struggled against him. "You're married to my best friend. I could never do that to her or Severus."
"Oh believe me," Lucius snarled. "They never have to know. This could be our own filthy secret." Severus watched as Katherine's eyes widened, then lashed out, her left hand making contact with Lucius' face. Lucius pushed her away roughly, grabbing his face.
"You filthy bitch," Lucius growled. "You'll pay for that and for taking my place in the inner circle." Severus watched as Lucius advanced on her again, but Katherine raised her wand again and sent him sailing into the sofa.
The memory faded to the next. Severus swallowed hard as he watched Katherine walk down the hallway in Malfoy Manor. She was heading down towards the ballroom, alone. Upon entering, he saw the three broken bodies lying bloody and bruised on the floor.
Severus stopped short upon seeing Lucius standing near the victims, smirking in Katherine's direction.
"Where's Bella?" Lucius asked.
"To hell it I know," Katherine sneered, as she looked down at the mangled bodies.
"Good," Lucius grinned. "Grab her." Instantly, a pair of arms wrapped around Katherine's person, and Lucius ripped her wand out of her hand. Mulciber held her as best he could, but Katherine wasn't about to give up.
She thrust her elbow into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him and also caused him to release her. Lucius lunged himself at her, but Katherine was quicker, and her fist made contact with Lucius' jaw. Then she released another hit to his face, which graced him with the black eye.
The others descended on her, grabbing at her clothing, ripping it along with the skin underneath. Katherine continued to fight, but she was losing steam. Her frock had been completely destroyed, and her skirt and blouse were nothing but rags hanging from her body.
All too soon, Katherine was cornered. Greyback grabbed her, locking her arms at her side. Katherine tried to struggle out of his grasp, but the werewolf was too strong. Greyback grinned, baring his teeth as he leaned in towards Katherine's neck.
"Not now Fenrir," Lucius hissed, as he approached the struggling witch. "I must admit the Dark Lord would not be pleased if you changed her."
"Fine," Greyback sneered. "So what are we going to do with her?"
"Bend her over the desk," Lucius smirked. "There is a lesson she must learn."
"You son of a bitch," Katherine screamed at him, earning her a swift punch to the stomach.
"Fenrir, Rodolphus, Rabastan…hold her down," Lucius demanded. "The rest of you, get rid of the rest of her clothing. Greyback dragged her towards the desk and pushed her body, face down upon its' top. She flared her legs wildly, but the Lestrange brothers grabbed them and pinned them to the sides of the desk. Goyle, Crabbe, Mulciber and MacNair descended upon her once again, tearing the fabric away from her body.
"Who gets to go first?" Mulciber asked, as he tore one of the last pieces of material off of her person.
"Me," Lucius sneered. "She's the one who took my place in the inner circle. I deserve my revenge." Greyback had grabbed Katherine by the arms and held her down. The others stood around the desk, grinning at Katherine's naked form.
"If Snape should come, restrain him," Lucius told the four, who stood around him. "I don't need him getting in the way."
Severus slowly pulled out of Katherine's mind; his eyes refocused on hers noticing the tears had spilt from her eyes once again. He released her chin and cautiously slid an arm around her waist, pulling her to him, to let her cry against him once more.

He had let her cry out, until she fell asleep in his arms once more. Severus then rose and dressed for the day, before retreating to his office to wake Draco. The boy had had a restless sleep as well; the blanket laid discarded on the floor, while his form was stretched in all directions across the makeshift bed.
Once he was gone, Severus discuss the events of the night before with Albus. The elder wizard was pleased to hear that Voldemort willingly consented to giving Katherine to Severus, but was saddened by the news of the events that occurred afterwards.
"Severus," Albus said. "You should tell her about the arrangement of your impending marriage soon. You don't need her finding out some other way."
"You're right," Severus sighed. "I'll tell her soon. But not now."
"That would be wise," Albus said. "For now let her rest. Merlin knows she needs it."

A week went by without much incident. Katherine had all but locked herself away in Severus' quarters, only appearing for meals and classes. Draco had done the same; and to Severus' slight annoyance, the boy would turn up in his office just about every night to talk or play wizard chess with Katherine.
It was that following Saturday, that the three were sitting in Severus' quarters. Katherine and Draco were quietly playing a game of chess while Severus read from his latest tome from Katherine, when the witch in question suddenly became stiff.
"Professor?" Draco asked, as he noticed Katherine's hand freeze in mid move. She rose quickly, turning to face Severus.
"I'm being summoned Severus," Katherine gasped.
"Go," Severus said, raising quickly from his chair. "I'll floo to the parlor. Meet me there afterwards." Katherine quickly lifted her left sleeve and pressed her wand to the mark, then disappeared from their sight.
"Draco," Severus turned to the boy. "Go back to your dorm for now."
"Can't I stay here sir."
"Not this time," Severus said, before throwing in the floo powder and stating his destination. "Parlor. Malfoy Manor." Severus stepped into the green-lit fireplace and flooed to Katherine's side.

"Ah, Katherine," the Dark Lord hissed, as Katherine appeared before him. "Always ever so prompt."
"My Lord," Katherine murmured, as she knelt before the red-eyed wizard and kissed the hem of his robes.
"Katherine, I have summoned you here tonight for two reasons," Voldemort said, eyeing the blonde witch before him. "Let's deal with the first one, shall we. BELLATRIX!"
Bella entered the room, dragging a body along with her. The dark witch smirked at Katherine, then pushed the body towards the space between the Dark Lord and Katherine's person. Katherine's eyes narrowed as the face of the person came into view.
Lucius.
"Well now Katherine," the Dark Lord hissed, as he rose from his throne. "I can see it in your eyes. There is hatred held for Lucius isn't there?"
Katherine didn't answer; all she could do was glare at the wizard that was cowering once again on the floor. Lucius' face was more shallow than ever. His eyes were sunken and dead looking; his skin was whiter than Katherine and Severus' combined.
"Yes, I know what happened last Friday eve Katherine," the Dark Lord hissed as he circled her. "Bella told me everything.
"Do you want your revenge Katherine?" the Dark Lord asked her.
"Of course my Lord," Katherine stated.
"Then what are you waiting for?" the Dark Lord asked. "Do it! Take your revenge!"
"CRUCIO!" Katherine screamed, as she raised her wand to Lucius' person. The wizard sunk to the floor, withering in pain. A loud scream escaped him, as Katherine continued the curse. All the while, Bellatrix cackled madly behind the Dark Lord, as she watched her brother-in-law suffer punishment from a half-blood.
"Enough!" the Dark Lord shouted. Katherine immediately release the curse, then knelt before her master again. "Bella, get him out of here." Bellatrix grabbed Lucius by his collar and dragged him out of the room, leaving the Katherine alone with the Dark Lord.
"Now for the second reason you are here," the Dark Lord hissed, as he lowered himself back into his chair. "I have chosen the wizard whom you will be given to. But remember, you will remain unwed until your mission is complete."
"Of course my Lord," Katherine said, as she bowed her head to him. "And his name my Lord?"
"Severus Snape."

Severus flooed directly into the parlor, and found Narcissa sitting in front of the fire once again. She looked like death warmed over. Her eyes were dark, lined with black circles under her orbs. She looked like she hadn't slept in days.
"Narcissa," Severus greeted her, before taking up pacing in front of the fire.
"She was summoned, wasn't she?" Narcissa asked, her eyes never leaving the fire. "Bella told the Dark Lord everything. Lucius has been locked in the cellar for the past week."
"You sound almost sympathetic towards him," Severus sneered, as he continued to pace. "Have you forgiven him then?"
"Sympathetic, maybe," Narcissa spat. "Forgiven, no. Absolutely not. Yet he is still my husband, and I have to remain loyal to him. I still love him."
"Tell me Narcissa," Severus snarled. "How can you love someone who has raped your best friend? Your son's godmother? How?"
Narcissa opened and closed her mouth several times, but never got the chance to answer. The parlor door opened slowly, and Katherine slipped into the room. The two witches glanced at each other briefly, only exchanging a nod in greeting.
"Severus," Katherine said, turning towards him. "We need to talk. In private."
"Very well," Severus said, as he turned towards the fireplace to throw the powder into the flame. "Headmaster's quarters. Hogwarts." The green flame flared up again, and Severus stepped forward and disappeared.
"Goodnight Cissy," Katherine said, as she made towards the floo.
"Katherine wait," Narcissa pleaded, as she rose from the sofa. Katherine stopped, but did not turn towards her. "I'm so sorry for what happened. Please forgive me."
"It is not you that I am mad at," Katherine said, slowly turning to face the elder witch. "Lucius is the one that betrayed me, not you. You have not wronged me."
"I know," Narcissa said. "But he is still my husband, and I feel that I must apologize for his behavior."
"Don't apologize for him," Katherine told her. "You are above him Cissy. Don't let his failures destroy you." And without another word, Katherine stepped into the flame, and left Malfoy Manor behind.

Severus watched as Katherine entered his quarters through the floo. He noticed that she held her different, with a little more assurance.
"Well," Severus said, clearing his throat. "What do we need to talk about?"
"When were you going to tell me?" Katherine asked, as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Tell you what?"
"That the Dark Lord had chosen whom I was to be given to," Katherine said, pursing her lips into a thin line, one that made her look like Minerva. "When were you going to tell me that I've been given to you?"
"I was going to tell you right away, but given the circumstances…" Severus sighed. "It happened last Friday night, before your...well…you know."
"The Dark Lord told me that he chose me for you because of our blood status," Katherine said. "Is that true?"
'He told her that he had chosen the match?' Severus thought frantically. 'Why didn't he tell her that I asked for her myself?'
"Severus?" Katherine said. "Is it true?"
"It is Katherine," Severus said, playing along. He was hoping he could figure out why the Dark Lord said he was the one who had made the arrangement. "Are you okay with this arrangement?"
"Actually Severus," Katherine sighed, letting her arms drop down to her sides. "I'm rather relieved. I kept thinking I might be to someone like MacNair or Mulciber."
"The Dark Lord didn't want to taint the pure blood lines with our half-blood ones," Severus explained, as he walked towards her. "And since we are the only half-bloods in the inner ranks, it only seemed fitting."
"Yes, fitting," Katherine said, as Severus stopped before her. Slowly Katherine slid her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. Severus stiffened, before relaxing slightly and slowly moved his arms around her shoulders pulling her closer to him.
"I'm just glad I was given to you Sev."
