His wand vibrating and emitting a shrill sound broke his concentration from the book he was reading. He closed the book and placed it on the side table next to his chair. He grabbed his wand and cancelled the alarm, before getting up and walking in the direction of the kitchen. He walked over to the cupboard doubling as a fridge and peered inside. He grabbed some cheese, sliced ham, and some lettuce. He hummed to himself as he placed the food on the side, then continued to look in the rest of the cupboards and the drawers for the utensils and anything else he needed.
He grabbed four slices of bread, and buttered them thinly. He then shredded up some lettuce and covered each buttered slice. After that he place some sliced ham on two of the slices of bread, then picked up the block of cheese and the grater, and grated the cheese on top of the ham. He placed the grater into the sink, and put the cheese, ham and lettuce back into the fridge. Once he'd finished putting everything away, he went back over to the sandwiches he was preparing, and took two of the bread slices; one with just lettuce and one with lettuce, ham and cheese. He carefully picked up each slice and pressed them together to complete the sandwich. He repeated it for the other sandwich. After cutting both in half, he put them on plates, and placed the plates onto a tray.
He then grabbed two mugs down from a cupboard and prepared one mug for tea and the other for black coffee while the kettle boiled. Once the hot drinks were made, he picked them up and carried them over to set them onto the tray with the sandwiches.
He picked up the tray and carried it to the other side of the kitchen where the cellar door had been left ajar. He descend the stairs slowly, careful not to fall in the dim light coming from the old light bulb above. Once he reached the bottom, he stood quietly, waiting for Severus to pause in his brewing before interrupting.
Seeing him place the stirring rod down onto the bench and step back, Cade cleared his throat to get his attention. Sev looked up and half smiled when he saw their lunch. He walked over to the little table and chairs situated in the far corner when Severus beckoned him closer, getting a chaste kiss when he reached his lover.
"Thank you, Caduceus. I'm completely ravenous, I've been down here since I left your fathers straight after breakfast. If you hadn't come down, I'd probably have worked right through lunch." Cade smiled at his Sev, elation filling his entire body at being the cause of Severus' happiness.
"I know, that's why I brought lunch down here. Can't have you wasting away before I get you to bond with me, can I?" He quipped, smirking as Severus choked slightly.
"I would love to bond with you, Caduceus, but I do not see me living for dry long after I ask him for your hand." Severus hated saying no to his lover. Alas, with a wizard of Cade's standing, a fathers permission meant everything. The look on his lovers face told him everything he wasn't saying, and he sighed. "Another argument? You cannot let this ruin the relationship you want to have with your father."
"I know, Sev. I just don't understand how he can be such a hypocrite and not realise it. Did I do something wrong? I don't see him forbidding Draco from being with Charlie, so he must be punishing me for something!"
"Draco wasn't the one who was stolen, and forced to grow up away from his parents. You have to try to see this from your fathers perspective. Maybe he has a valid reason, but you shall never know until you talk to him." Severus reasoned. He watched Cade' breathing slow back to normal from the quick, heavy breathing that was the only outward sign of his anger. Once he calmed down, they spent the rest of lunch eating peacefully and chatting quietly about nothing and everything.
A couple of hours later saw both Cade and Severus sat in front of the fire, relaxing in the comfortable silence. Cade was continuing to read the book he had started earlier, while Severus was marking the student assignments that had been handed in before the summer break that started just last week.
As Cade finished the last sentence of the book, he basked in the contentment he was feeling. He loved to just sit like this with Sev, no words needed, just being able to feel each other's presence and know that they are there, no matter what. He couldn't have given this up, not for anyone. He needed Severus in his life, so badly that he would throw everything away just to be with him. Caduceus shook his head to dispel his maudlin thoughts before his lover picked up on the change of atmosphere. He turned to replace the finished book back in its rightful place on the shelf next to him, when the houses wards went off to let Severus know someone was at the door, at the same time as whoever was outside knocked firmly three times.
They looked at each other for a few moments, frozen on how to proceed. It could only be one of three people. Dumbledore, Marvolo and Lucius were the only people to know where Severus Snape resided in the summer holidays. The only three people who still even remember his ties to the muggle world.
"Can you tell who it is?" Severus swished his wand in and intricate pattern, that he was too distracted to follow, and hummed.
"The wards are picking up a faint signal from a magical signature, which means that it is a witch or wizard. Since only three wizards besides you know of this place, and only two of them can mask their signature, I think we can rule out Lucius." Severus replied. "There is no way to tell if it's your father or the Headmaster, so I suggest you head upstairs. There are wards in place will stop anyone that I haven't allowed from following you up, they will not be able to sense you up there using magical means either."
As much as he hated the thought of essentially running and hiding, it was the best option available, with it being a 50% chance of Dumbledore being the one behind the door. Cade stood up and rounded the armchair he just vacated, and felt along the bookshelves for the little groove, and pressed his finger into it once he'd found it. The bookcase swung open to reveal a staircase, and he dashed inside and managed to pull the bookcase closed behind him just as he saw Severus reach the front door.
Severus Snape stood just before his front door, breathing deeply, bracing himself for whatever was to happen in the next few minutes. He reached forward and grabbed the door handle, and pulled the door open. Stood on his doorstep the the hood of his blood red cloak pulled up and over his face, which he could just make out the look of devastation on said face, was Tom Marvolo Riddle.
"My Lord? Is everything okay?" He rushed out, surprise filling him whole. He fully expected to open the door to see Albus. "I apologise, would you like to come in?"
"I would Severus, thank you." Marvolo replied, stepping inside and pulling his hood down now that the door had been closed behind him as he entered. "Me and Brutus had a rather...for a lack of a better word, brutal argument earlier. I assumed him would have came straight here as soon as he disappeared. Even though I cannot sense his signature, something tells him he is still here, am I correct?" He explained.
"He is, and if I may speak frankly, my lord?" At his lord's nod, he carried on. "I would appreciate that if you are here to just have another argument with your son, then it would be best to just leave now, as he would not entertain the idea of coming to converse with you if it will inevitability end in shouting." He waited a few nerve-wracking seconds before his lord nodded that he understood.
"I am not here to argue Severus. My husband reminded me of a promise I made to him, and that by breaking that promise I am single-handedly pushing our son away from us, possibly forever. I do not want that to happen. I am here because it is time that I explained to Brutus why I have been acting the way I have recently."
Severus just stood staring at Marvolo, trying to determine if he was sincere or not. Seeing in his eyes that he was, he nodded to the sofa. "Sit. I will just go an get him. I shan't be long." With that said, he spun on his heel to walk over to the hidden door, his robes billowing behind him.
