Awakening
Severus reluctantly opened his heavy eye lids, realization flooding his senses. Natalie. A satisfied grin stole over his face.
He rolled to his back, hands searching for the witch. Instead of finding her, he kicked something at the foot of the bed. Grumbling, he sat up to spy his cloak and clothes folded neatly, his wand skittered off the pile from the contact with his foot. Eagerly, he snatched the pale blue parchment note and read at lightning speed.
Humph, wait here. Indeed not. What, am I some toy? Not good enough to be seen in public?
He grouched, groused and grumped his way to the small guest bath. Splashing cool water on his face, he chanced a look in the mirror, zeroing in on the mussed, rumpled, and greasier than normal state of his hair. One long fingered hand sought the wound on the back of his head and found only dried blood. How odd? And I don’t seem to ache as much …
He quickly drew bath water, searching for shampoo. After finding only decidedly feminine smelling products, he bellowed angrily, “ELF!”
Instantly a familiar looking house elf popped into being right under his nose.
“Yes sir?” The elf cowered, its delicate looking ears flattened against its head.
“Sandalwood shampoo and soap, fresh towels, and something light to eat with a strong cup of tea, black.”
“Yes sir!” The little elf quivered in delight at his simple to fulfill request. She seemed to reappear almost instantly with his towels, shampoo and soap. Setting them out respectively, she asked, “Roast beef, ham or turkey for sandwich sir?”
Snape’s mouth inadvertently watered at the thought of food. He had been at the Dark Lord’s side for far too long. “A little of each … fresh tomato, and sweet pickles, if possible.”
“Right away sir.” The elf disappeared once again.
Snape growled in satisfaction as he sank into the steamy water of the bath. He draped his long arms over the porcelain sides; let his head loll back on the rim.
The elf popped in, setting a tray near his hand. He opened one lazy eye to inspect his meal. Suddenly, he sat straight up.
“Elf!”
“Yes sir?” The tiny green being stuttered frightfully.
“Are you not one of Hogwarts elves?” He demanded angrily.
“No sir, no, no, no, sir.” The poor little being stuttered, wringing her hands.
“You were at Hogwarts. You brought me that bracelet.”
The little green creature backed away from the bath and the angry man scowling at her. “Elves’ is only allowed to serve their masters. I serves my mistress. You’s mistaken, sir.”
“I am certain I am not.” Severus glowered at the tiny elf hoping to cow it into an admission.
The tiny little green elf popped out of range, leaving an angry, confused, slightly insulted wizard soaking in a bath tub to ponder the little being. I am fairly certain anyway. That elf was at Hogwarts, and she belongs to Natalie. How and why did she get in my rooms?

“Nimue’s icy nipples!” **
Noah choked, gagging on his wine when he spied Severus Snape swooping elegantly from inside the DuPont Manor. Natalie regally turned her head, smiling in near evil delight at the vision in dress robes gliding towards her.
“I see my date has finally arrived.” She spoke casually, leaving her brothers and assorted guests to stand and gawk at the unlikely couple as she met Severus at half the distance. “Sleep well?” She whispered as she stood on tip toe to kiss his cheek in greeting.
“Indeed I am well rested.”
“I’m glad you chose to wait here.”
Snape arched a questioning eyebrow at the witch. “I thought you meant to wait in your room.”
Natalie scowled, her brows furrowing together in consternation. Finally, her face softened. “I can see how I may not have made the location clear.” She finally acceded. “My apologies, Professor. I meant wait here at the Manor … with me.” She smiled up at him. His faced softened, barely.
“May I have this dance?” He gestured to the dance floor already crowded with wedding guests. Natalie took his proffered arm and the duo glided into the crowd with much grace. As they waltzed, Severus caught the bridegroom casting many a wary glance in their direction. He was unnerved by the man’s attention. Finally, Alexei and Ana accidentally bumped into the new pair. Alexei grinned broadly, offering his new wife’s hand to Severus, bowing as he asked,
“May I cut in?”
The two men swapped partners and glided once more around the dance floor keeping perfect tempo with the musicians. Ana, in her white gown, was striking against the tall expanse of black that Severus offered as a background. Alexei immediately launched into the clipped tones of his native Bulgarian, smiling politely as he guided Natalie around the dance floor.
“What are you doing?” He demanded to know. “How could you bring him here? What if something triggers all of his memories?”
“I am enjoying his company. Noah kidnapped him and brought him here. And, I am very thorough. Nothing here will trigger his memories.” Natalie spat back through politely smiling lips.
“You are playing with fire, Natalie. You will be burned.” Alexei warned, his eyes searching for his bride. “What do you see in him anyway?”
“I’m not seeing anything. He’s good at what he does, Alexei. Can’t you just leave me a few good memories to carry home?”
“Is he that good? Too risk everything for a lay? I mean really, Natalie.” Alexei smiled and thanked an elderly couple who offered congratulations as they danced by them. Suddenly insecure, Alexei continued, “Is he better than me?”
Natalie threw her head back, laughing. “Alexei, we were just friends. Can you honestly say sex was better with me than Ana? C’mon comrade, you’re good, but Severus offers me something quite different.”
Alexei pouted, his eyes grew stormy as he slowly processed all Natalie had said.
“You’re right. Sex is vastly different with Ana.”
“Of course it is.” Natalie stopped dancing just as the music stopped. Severus was gallantly escorting Ana back to her husband from across the floor.
“Now, you go get some of that wedding night sex.” Natalie giggled, slapping Alexei on the arm.
“Most assuredly.”
Alexei advanced on his wife, leaning down to whisper seductively in her ear. Ana’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously. Alexei scooped her up into her arms to the sound of delighted cheers and cat calls. Ana waved as they disapparated on the spot with a thunderous crack.
“Honeymoon started?” Severus purred into Natalie’s ear, leaning over her shoulder to peer down the front of her gown. With one finger, he captured the silver chain from around her neck and pulled the amulet from its protection buried in her cleavage. “Exactly what does this protect you from, Miss?”
“That.” Natalie spat as she snatched the chain from his finger, and slapped his forearm over his Dark Mark.
“Ah, and that is why I can’t touch it?”
“Of course.” Natalie answered coyly, turning to focus her innocent doe eyes on her wizard. “What else could it possibly be for?”
“Really.” Severus had nearly lost himself in the charms of the witch, catching himself just before he fell for her innocent act, but not letting on he knew she was playing.
“Did you like the book?” Natalie asked, hoping to divert his attention away from the amulet. Snape smirked knowingly. Nice try.
“Very rare and invaluable really. I have found it quite useful.”
“I’m so very glad.” Natalie added with a smile. She glanced to where her brothers congregated around the punch bowl. “Would you like something to drink?” He arched one eyebrow at her question.
“I think not.” He replied sharply, whirling her about to claim her on the dance floor once more.
Author’s Notes:
** Nimue: another name for the Lady of the Lake. That one’s for you Sansa, since you liked Merlin’s hairy balls ;) We’ll have to get CCino to confirm but somehow I imagine if you’re living at the bottom of a lake in the Isles somewhere, some things are bound to get a bit icy. I’ve been a few lakes around here and they’re
darned cold near the bottom, even in August ;0
