Highland Rose

Chapter 13

Bella and Lucius stood in a grove of trees looking down in the valley at Castle Brodie. The castle was twice as large as Granger Castle and the magic surrounding the castle and the land was stronger than anything the two had ever felt.

“There’s no way we can get through the magic by ourselves.” Bella said.

“I agree. We need to do something. Look, down there.” Lucius replied as he pointed to the castle.

There they saw Hermione and Severus walking toward a flower garden. Lucius used wandless magic and cast a spell that would allow them to hear what the couple was saying. What they heard both disgusted and intrigued them.

“Hermione, the other night when I found you in the storm, you said you were thinking about me. What did you mean love?” Severus asked.

“I’m scared of loosing you because of what and who I am. I want to give you a choice, but I’m afraid of loosing sight of my family and where I come from.” Hermione explained.

“You mean, you’re afraid I will want you to give up your immortality to be with me?” He asked. Hermione nodded, but didn’t face him. He tilted her chin up so that she was now facing him. “Hermione, I would never do that. I love you for you. So you have the immortal blood of the Brodie. That doesn’t change how I feel. As for my choice, I need time. Either way, all I care about is remaining at your side. We have time before I need to make a choice. Don’t worry, I will not leave you. Well, not on my own or of my free will. I swear that to you.” Severus said.

Hermione wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. Severus returned her hug. After a few moments, they continued their walk. Lucius removed the spell, nodded to Bella, ant the two headed straight for Voldemort to tell them what they had over heard.

Dageus stood at the edge of the lake. The whether had begun to turn cold. Fall was waning away and winter was coming on fast. He had received a letter from Severus earlier that day. His mind thought back on the letter.

Dageus,

I’m concerned for Hermione. Just the other night, I caught her out in the middle of the night. It was storming and she was drenched by the time I got to her. Yet, it seemed as if she didn’t notice she was soaked to the bone.

Yesterday, she told me why she was out there. She’s scared of loosing me. I know about the potion that can either make me immortal or turn Hermione mortal. She’s scared I will make her choose to give up her immortality.

I want to reassure her, but I don’t know how. I would never force her to give up a part of herself like that. Her immortality doesn’t mean anything to me. I love her for her, not because of the blood that flows through her veins.

What do I do?

Severus


“Dageus? You all right?” Chloe asked as she approached him.

“I’m just trying to figure something out. Maybe you can help.” Dageus answered.

He quickly explained the situation between Hermione and Severus. Chloe listened patiently. Her heart went out to the couple as she listened to Dageus. Finally he stopped speaking.

“I think you need to tell Severus to find some way to show Hermione how he feels. It may seem daunting to show her that regardless of her blood: he loves her for her and not for what she has flowing in her veins.” Chloe explained.

“Hmm. I think you’re right. Thanks Chloe.” Dageus smiled.

Chloe just returned the smile. Slowly their faces came closer and closer. Dageus’ hand slid across her cheek and hold the back of her neck. Their lips met and once more, they felt the electricity shoot through them. This time, they didn’t fight it, they embraced it. Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

“Dageus.” she sighed as he began kissing, licking, and nipping at her neck.

“Chloe-lass. You’re so beautiful.” he moaned.

“Stop…please.” she whispered.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, thinking he had done something wrong.

“We’re not in private. Anyone could catch us. I don’t think it would do for a student or another professor to catch us out here. Let’s return to the castle.” She answered.

“You’re rooms or mine?” he questioned.

“Yours.” she answered without delay.

The two got their feet and hurried back to the castle. Without encountering anyone, they retreated to the safety of Dageus’ chambers. After locking and silencing the rooms, the couple picked up where they left off at the lake’s shore.

************************************************************************

Voldemort was livid! He couldn’t believe what Lucius and Bella had told him. Severus and the mudblood were not only in love, but they were soul-mates on top of that. That piece of information made things much more difficult.

“I can’t even hope to get near her as long as Snape lives. Damnit! Wormtail!” Voldemort yelled.

Wormtail hurried into the room, shivering in fear. He knew his master was furious. “Y…yes Master.” he stuttered.

“I want you to go with Bella and Lucius. Once you reach the destination, sneak into the castle and spy on the mudblood and Severus. I need to know everything I can if I’m going to succeed in taking over both Castle Brodie and Granger Castle.” Voldemort hissed.

Wormtail could only nod. He followed Bella and Lucius from the Throne room. The three apparated from Voldemort’s location and right back to Castle Brodie. The two left Wormtail at the edge of the forest. He quickly transformed into a rat and made his way toward the castle. In his Animangus form, the magic surrounding the castle, both Druid and Wizarding, wouldn’t detect him.
