Chapter 9

Severus sat in the bed looking at his sleeping wife. Duty bound to another and Merlin help him. Voldemort met with him and spoke of what he expected of Hermione Snape. He glanced down to the Dark Mark on his arm remembering Voldemort's parting words. "Everyone wants to live and few are foolish to die for what they believe. Make sure that you stress that no one will ever hear of her sacrifice if she decides to stand for them and will go to my wonderful pile of rotting bodies forgotten and unremembered."

Severus looked one more moment to Hermione before moving out of the bed and went to her bath chambers to clean up.

He stepped out of the hot shower drying off with a towel before using his wand to dry and transfigured it into white pajama bottoms. Using a dry washcloth he wiped the steam off the mirror away and looked to his reflection.

This was his favorite time of day as he felt clean, unblemished you could say. But too soon he would be blemished again by the man that he had become because of the foolishness of his youth. The blemish would creep upon him quickly considering he had to inform the witch of her future when he walked through door. Well no rest for the wicked he thought and chuckled to himself.

Hermione was awake when Severus walked out of the bath chambers observing the shirtless man with scars crisscrossed his chest wearing white pajama bottoms. She knew there were more on his back. She looked to him in fear noting the lack of emotion that he showed the night before. "We are going to speak of my future in this Brave New World?"

He sat at the edge of the bed. "Sit next to me Hermione." He commanded.

She moved next to him and watched as he held out his left arm. "The Mark of our Lord Hermione and as my wife you will take it and perform the duties of a Deatheater of the Inner Circle. You are married to me now and it is the condition our Lord placed on you."

"I have no choice in this?" Fear causing her voice to tremble.

He looked to her gravely. "Yes Hermione you have a choice graciously given by our Lord. You can turn the offer down and join the pile of bodies eyes glazed in death at the top of the pile to eventually be covered by others to remain forgotten and unremembered."

Oh Fuck. She would have to kill and support Voldemort. She would be forgotten as one who fought against him and instead remembered as one who turned her back at defeat and embraced the victor.

"Will you stand beside me despite what I choose?" She asked trying to gauge the loyalty of her new husband. Despite the words of Albus she doubted the words spoken that she could trust him. After all he commanded a risk of her death when she gave birth to her son.

"I will stand beside whatever you choose Hermione. And if you chose the foolish action of not taking the Mark I will be commanded to kill you and that I'll do that telling Voldemort that you stood to your beliefs and he will be the only one to hear my words. I'll take your body to that pile and toss it to the top and walk away. I'll make you a promise and tell Potter that you stood by him and left him to deal with whatever the future holds for him alone."

"Take me to that pile of bodies Severus!" She commanded.

Severus looked to her. "I will not Hermione. You have a wand and you can go and chase your own demons. I think you will decide to die but one never knows. The Dark Lord was confident that you would take the Mark and live."

She watched him stand up and leave her chambers without a word.

"Sassy!" He called out.

Sassy appeared before him and looked to her Master in anticipation. "Hermione is my wife now. Does the magic of your kind repel you considering the taint on her by the Dark Lord?"

"Ise not sure Master. Theres something hers connecting youse." Sassy dutifully replied.

Severus looked to the house elf. "She will soon be away and you will move her belongings into my chambers and close off her old chambers."

"Ise do as youse commands Master." And blinked away.

Severus strode down the hall. It was all up to her now.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione stood on the plain forcing herself to ignore the horrendous stench of rotting bodies and decay.

She walked up and looked to the pile wondering where all of her murdered friends were located in that awful heap thinking it unfair that they were not buried. "I promise that this is will not be your final resting place my friends. I will become one of them, Voldemort's twisted idea of….well I'm not sure because I can't believe he's allowing a Mudblood to join his ranks."

Hermione looked to the top of the pile and saw a clump of bodies wearing Healer robes and recognized Maggie Derwent splayed upside down. She must have slid down when tossed in. "I won't forget you either. None of you." Sitting down next to the pile thinking about Voldemort's offer. Not that there was anything to think about concerning her decision. Since the births she had not seen her friends at all not having a chance to tell them the about seeing Dumbledore.

She thought about her visit remembering the words of seven babes. She was bothered by the number of seven surviving before the births and Harry and Ron said there was not tie. And then Dumbledore said there was. She could not find the relevance if she died.

Hermione stood and turned to the pile tears streaming silently from her eyes before she turned her heel and Apparated away.

Hermione appeared in the main hall of her husband's manor and walked to her room and found it locked.

"Sassy!" She called out and watched the elf appear ears moved forward.

"What you wishes of me Mistress?" Sassy inquired.

"I need to get into my room Sassy. Why is it locked?" Hermione asked the elf.

"The Masters commanded Mistress as youse married and your chambers is his." She squeaked out. "All youse things is in there Mistress."

"Thanks Sassy. Where is the Master now?"

"He is being in the Library waiting youse return Mistress."

"Can you tell him I will be joining shortly?"

Sassy looked to her for a moment before disappearing.

Hermione moved to her husband's bedroom and opened the door and looked in. The room was simple and not much in decoration containing a large bed, dresser and wardrobe and nothing else. She was surprised by that considering the extravagance of the rest of the Manor.

Opening the wardrobe she noticed that her robes were hanging next to his and pulled one out and placed it on the bed before turning to the bathroom to clean up.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione walked into the library and noticed her husband sitting in a leather chair.

"I see that you are back Wife. What is your decision?" He growled out.

"First off name is Hermione. We are bound for life so stop the formal reference. We share a bed after all. And yes I'll take the Mark Severus because I don't have a choice."

He sighed. "I was afraid you were going to accept. Considering what you and your friends have been discussing your death now would be better now versus later when Our Lord finds out. I suppose that I will have to teach you how to protect yourself." Moving up from his chair and went to a shelf of books and pulled one out. He walked over and handed it to her. "It is a book about Legilemency. Practical for the Dark Lord peeks into our minds when he meets up with us.

She took from the book and spoke one word. "Why?"

Severus held his left hand up revealing the simple gold band on his ring finger. "Despite the fact that you were thrust upon me I take my husbandly duty of protecting my wife as seriously as the vows to my Lord. But if the two would ever conflict the vow to him will always come first. Remember that Hermione as you make your plans to defeat him. Besides I owe you for protecting me."

She put the book down and looked to him in curiosity. "What do you mean Severus?"

"When you prove to me that you can prevent me from entering your mind and can push forth made up memories I will reveal it."

"A challenge Severus and I like it." Hermione spoke and picked up the book. "I admit I missed studying for a purpose. How long do I have?"

"It depends on Our Lord. I will go to him and inform him of your decision. You better start now."

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Severus met with Voldemort in his throne chamber and bowed. "My Lord the mudblood accepts your Mark and your commands to her to further our cause."

Voldemort chuckled. "Rise Severus and sit next to me. And there are no longer any mudbloods Severus. You took care of that when you visited the castle and obtained the list and killed them all."

Severus sat next to him. "So that is how you are going to present it to your most faithful? You know they hate Mudbloods my Lord. Do you think it will change their thinking?"

"I'll spin it appropriately. I have never had any problems with Half Bloods and Mudbloods. I only spouted those beliefs to obtain the most powerful and almost all of those are pure blood."

He turned to Severus and looked to him fondly. "I know that Albus Dumbledore told you my origins and yet you never revealed it. I have always known of your Half Blood status all these years and we have remained faithful to one another. No, I will stop the purges as most have been dispatched anyway and declare all those that are magical at this time are Pure Blood as we have dispatched any potential of mixing our blood. There are laws already in place forbidding marriage to muggles so in ten years time our lines will be free. It will be then that our new World begins to flourish as my son will be at the age to do great things."

Severus looked to him excited. "And what great things My Lord? I admit that your words excites me."

"You'll learn in time but it will be then that I will execute the seven that I let survive along with their progeny. You will be set free from that irritating witch that I put you with at that time."

"That is great news my Lord and look forward to it. She pleases me in bed and I should be able to control her until you do not require her any longer."

Voldemort patted his hand. "Why I married her to you Severus. You can control her and keep her out of my way until I implement my plans."

"Most wise my Lord. When do you plan to Mark her?"

"One week and I will send you both to Germany to cow down the resistance Severus with your special skills and you will teach her as well. Now go and inform her so she can prepare."

"Your will my Lord and it shall be. I will bring her to you in one week." Leaving the presence of the snakelike wizard.

Severus strode into his library and observed Hermione reading the book he left her looking up and catching his dark obsidian eyes. Pointing his wand out he commanded "Legilimens!" To access her mind

Her journey into hell was about to begin.
