My left arm seared with dark fire at precisely midnight the next evening, as I’d known it would. I changed into my heavy, intricately brocaded Death Eater robes and tucked my masque into an interior pocket. I proceeded out the gates as if I were headed to my own funeral. A string of recriminations circled through my head, distracting me from the meditative breathing I usually did before presenting myself to the Dark Lord. I nodded formally to Lucius and Narcissa as I passed their opulent drawing room. Lucius smirked and winked at me with cheeky sarcasm.
I dropped to my knees before Him, kissing the hem of his robe. “My lord, I hope this evening finds you well,” I pronounced smoothly.
“Quite well, Severus, quite well indeed,” he hissed. “I hear that you’ve found a little… companion.” His nonchalant tone belied the vehement rage I knew simmered below the surface.
“Yes, sir. I’ve been waiting until I had made some actual progress in my task before reporting to you. I needed to be sure such a thing was even within my grasp. But now I’m quite confident that it can be done.”
“And what is that, my boy?”
“I am going to seduce Harry Potter’s best friend,” I stated confidently and without equivocation. “I wasn’t sure at first that she’d be receptive. But she is quite… eager to please.” I grinned lasciviously. “She thrives on praise and positive attention. A couple compliments and she was putty in my hands.” I chuckled, projecting as much bravado and masculine sexual energy into the sound as I possibly could.
The Dark Lord placed his index finger under my chin and lifted my gaze to his own. “Legilimens.” I carefully and strategically fed him flashes of the previous evening. Her mouth, open and lusciously pink. Her chest, rising and falling with panting breaths as she stared into my eyes. The way she gasped when my finger brushed against her cheek. Her tearful exclamations of trust and affection. I had to admit while reviewing these images that even I was nearly convinced of her sincerity.
“Very good, Severus. I see you’ve made some admirable steps. However… CRUCIO!!!”
Immediately, the world was naught but fire. Every nerve in my body screamed, and my gut felt like something evil was trying to claw its way out. My vision went totally black, though I could feel my eyes bulging out of my head. I’d skipped dinner in anticipation of this, but still saliva and bile welled out of my choking, seizing throat. With every ounce of power in my body, I rolled onto my side so I wouldn’t asphyxiate on my vomit. My legs thrashed and kicked, and I felt one of the muscles in my calf overextend and rip like wet newspaper. Blood flowed freely from my nose, mingling with the viscous vomit dripping from my mouth. Centuries later, the fire was finally extinguished. I struggled back into a kneeling position as quickly as humanly possible.
“Let this be a lesson to you, Severus. Death Eaters don’t come up with their own little schemes. You are MY tool to be used as I SEE FIT. It’s unseemly for my followers to be traipsing around, doing whatsoever they desire without so much as my approval. Sets a bad precedent, you see. You wouldn’t want your brothers and sisters getting jealous because I provide you with too much leeway, right?”
“No, my lord. That would indeed be unseemly.”
“Quite.” He stared at me thoughtfully for a long time, his expression unreadable. Finally, he spoke, “You may continue this project of yours for now, Severus. But if you don’t eventually bring me valuable intel, and I become impatient… well let’s just say things won’t end well for you or Potter’s little friend.”
“Thank you, my lord. It is a joyful honor to serve your command.”
“You are dismissed.”
I kissed the hem of his robe many times to drive home my gratitude, then backed far away before rising. I gave a very formal bow and proceeded back down the corridor to the entryway. Lucius and Bellatrix were waiting by the massive double doors to mock my pitiful state as I exited. I sneered at them haughtily and stood much taller and strode far more confidently than I felt.
“I’m surprised you’re still alive, Snape!” Bella cackled cruelly. “His Lordship was SO MAD when Lucius showed him Draco’s letter! Imagine, Severus Fucking Snape sneaking a little Gryffindor into his quarters?! It was like Christmas had come early for the Death Eaters!” Her eyes were mad with fierce joy.
“Well I’m sorry to disappoint, Bella. The Dark Lord was actually quite pleased with the progress I’ve made. Soon I’ll have more information on Potter’s activities and plans than our Glorious Leader could ever use. I’M cultivating an informant as close to our enemy as humanly possible. What are YOU doing for him lately? Rubbing his feet? Sucking his cock? Truly VALUABLE input there, Bellatrix. Have an excellent evening.” I wrenched open the door and had already disapparated by the time my hind foot cleared the door frame, leaving a speechless hag in my wake.
