A/N Set up to the initiation and revel
Chapter 16 Initiation and Revel Part 1
Sara arrived early at the arranged meeting place and looked at her surroundings. She was in a forest clearing close to Hogsmeade. Lucius was not there yet, so she stepped back into the woods. She soundlessly thought “Natura Abscondere!” Sara felt the charm work and held up her hand and observed it. Her body was now camouflaged as a part of the forest background.
Luscius arrived and looked around the clearing. There was not a sign of the witch. He knew that she would hide her self. He whispered “Point Me!” and his wand was pointing to the location of Sara. He still did not see her. Very good concealment he thought. He yelled “Accio Sara Snape!” She found herself standing directly in front of Lucius still hidden from his eyes. He noticed a very feminine smell. “Finite Incantatum!” Sara’s concealment charm melted away.
“My Lord, so clever to find me. I cannot wait for this business to be over with so we can engage once again. The wizards that I have had are lacking your special creativity.” She huskily said.
Lucius smirked at the witch’s comment. He would show her, if she survived. But this was not the time to dwell on it. “Walk with me Initiate” Voice cold and powerful.
She silently followed him as he began walking. Presently they stopped. “Put your mask on!” He hissed. Sara placed the mask upon her face and waited. Lucius walked into a clearing and he could be heard quietly speaking to someone.
He walked back and motioned for her to follow him once again. As Sara entered the clearing she noticed Lord Voldemort alone and rushed to kneel before him. She waited quietly to be addressed.
“Rise Initiate!” Lord Voldemort coldly stated. “How do you plan on identifying the traitors Initiate?”
“I have taken a potion, that when used with a certain charm will allow me to identify them by the tap of my wand on theirs. I will then write the names on parchment and hand it to you. I will find any traitors that are within your midst.”
“You sound confident Initiate! How would I know that you are not lying?” She hesitated on this “My Lord, I am sure you have already determined a way to verify that I am truthful.”
“You are correct Initiate. I only hope that your list matches mine. I would hate for you to go from being guest of honor to victim of honor at the Revel. All of my followers will be there. It would be most disastrous to your state of being, or should I say un-being?” Lord Voldemort faded away.
She looked to Lucius questioningly. “We wait. He will call for us soon.” He sat on a log and motioned for her to sit beside him. They silently waited for the call.
Presently Lucius stood up grasping his left arm. “Initiate! Time for your Initiation!” He grimaced. “Grab hold to me!” She tightly wrapped her arms around his waist as he pressed his wand to his Mark. They both disappeared.

At Hogwarts……
Severus made his way out onto the grounds so that he could apparate immediately when called. That was the only thing the letter was good for. Maybe he would not get Crucio’d this time for being late. As he came closer to the main gate he was surprised to find the Headmaster waiting for him. They walked a little way toward the forest and entered it.
“Headmaster, this is a surprise! Worried are we?” Severus asked coldly.
“I just wanted to share some observations with you before you go. I believe them to be relevant to you. Severus, do you have the parchment that you found laying on your table with you?” He dug out the parchment and handed it to the Headmaster.
Albus turned the parchment over and examined the broken seal. “It is a rather strange coincidence that your sister arrives to Hogwarts after you received this. You said that this seal is from the Prince line and that inheritance can only be given to witches?”
All of the pieces fell into place. The seal, the ring on the strangers hand, and then he suddenly remembered that his sister was wearing such a ring during the Scholar’s Ritual.
“My sister is the Initiate.” He flatly spoke out.
“So it would seem Severus. More than likely Lord Malfoy used his influence to have her placed her here under Voldemort’s orders. It seems to me that they are questioning your loyalty and that you are going to be tested.”
“But what of my sister, Headmaster? We can’t have a true Death Eater teaching the students of Hogwarts. Especially if it is one that has a Dark Arts Mastership, if that is true!” he spat out.
“There is very little that I can do about that unless your research into her qualifications finds something amiss. Even I can see that she is well qualified for the position. Let me think on this Severus. There is always a chance that I am mistaken.”
Severus muttered under his breath “Only if Hell freezes over!” He knew now he was going to play a very important part in the marking of his sister. A part that he had no desire for.
Suddenly, his Mark burned deeply; indicating the Dark Lord’s immediate need of him. Severus turned and walked away from the Headmaster, his wand on his Mark. He was gone with a plop.

The Headmaster looked up to the castle. Having a fully pledged Death Eater at Hogwarts was very worrisome. He thought about the castle. It was sentient in the fact that it communed with the Headmaster, warning of danger or other things it felt that the Headmaster should be made aware of.
He remembered when Severus had taken the mark at the age of seventeen. The castle had sent him a feeling of impending danger and an image of the young wizard. He had purposely met up with Mister Snape in the Great Hall and walked with him, nonchalantly chatting until he left him at the Slytherin table as he headed to the Head Table. He did not miss the fact that the boy was subconsciously rubbing his left arm. He sent the castle an image that he was aware of the problem and felt the castle slip back into relaxed watchfulness.
He had kept an eye on the boy, but the Slytherin never did do anything noticeable, other than being the target of a quartet of Gryffindors. Mister Snape had not complained, so he had not acted. He decided to just watch as it was handy to know the identity of a Death Eater. The knowledge could be useful in the future.
He pushed the thought away that if approached the boy, then that would have prevented the deaths of James and Lily Potter. Severus was unapproachable then, and if not for the events that took place so long ago, then he would not have his most valuable spy today.
The castle had not sent him any feelings of danger when Sara entered the castle and that soothed his worries slightly. He would have to wait until his Dark Arts professor arrived back to Hogwarts.
A/N Natura Abscondere – Natural Concelment
Don’t blame Severus for not putting the pieces together before. I mean he found out he had a sister and challenged her. Also dealing with Hermione could not have helped. Anyway, Dumbledore seems to be all knowing and we found out why. Next chapter will actively go into the initiation and revel. Read the warning at the beginning and skip it if you cannot handle it.
