Severus isn’t pleased. Voldemort has called a complete assembly and his position isn’t so secure yet that he can allow him-self to disobey.
But that still doesn’t mean that the Potions Master is happy about being dragged away from his well deserved rest. On the bright side he will be rid of the nasty rat for a few hours.
He Apparates in to the Dark Lord’s current hideout scattering terrified low level minions everywhere in his wake. The one good thing about coming to such an assembly is the terror of the lower ranks.
Despite the fact that he is known to have betrayed ‘The Cause’ and no one is completely sure of his loyalty one way or another Voldemort’s minions are afraid of him. The fear sends a charge through his system a charge he is sure he will need in the hours to come.
Lilith tightens and loosens around his right arm amused by the fear she smells. The amusement of his familiar calms the potions master further and mentally he caresses the snake as he enters the main chamber to face the Dark Lord.
Standing with the other members of the Inner Circle Severus watches as the Dark Lord punishes the latecomers and rewards several people for bringing useful information. Then to no one’s surprise the tirades about Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore begin and Severus wonders if anyone would notice if he just tried to sleep on his feet.
New plans are made and some of the minions are sent away on raids but something just doesn’t feel right. Trying not to be obvious about it Severus studies the Dark Lord. Since their last meeting Tom Riddle has regenerated completely and is now again an attractive man in his late thirties. The only reminders of his former form are the crimson eyes the Dark Lord hasn’t managed to get rid of.
Voldemort is pleased with something and Severus doubts it’s the return of his good looks. He notices that the Dark Lord keeps glancing in both his and Malfoy’s directions all the while he is ranting and planning. That is certainly a reason for Severus to be on guard. The Potions Master knows that Voldemort isn’t planning to extract revenge on him for any reason he has been assured of that fact in their last meeting.
Not that the Dark Lord is above changing his mind on a whim but Voldemort swore that no revenge was forthcoming. Still there were things which the Dark Lord could do…not revenge but perhaps retribution for never searching for him after the end of the war or not coming back to him fast enough.
A lot of thing which could be very unpleasant.
Severus isn’t worried too much but he has known the Dark Lord too long not to be slightly unsettled. In the privacy of his own mind he has to admit that it had been easier dealing with Dumbledore who at least had been predictable in his reactions. The final plans are made and the last group of lower minions leaves then he turns his attention to the Inner Circle.
“Before all of you depart there is one last thing to do. The lower ranks have already learned their lesson today. But I think some members of my Inner Circle have forgotten their place.”
Behind his mask Severus winces. Mentally he commands his familiar to get down to the floor in case Cruciatus is dealt out. The snake is reluctant but complies unwilling to both suffer the pain and leave her owner alone.
“Severus, Lucius come forward and remove your masks.”
The removal of the masks usually means the punishment will be unpleasant indeed as Voldemort enjoys the look of agony on his victims’ faces. Severus lets his mask fall on to the floor next to his familiar who will make sure that no one will temper with it while he is busy. The Death Eaters might be united by one cause but there is still a lot of rivalry among the ranks. Malfoy almost visibly hesitates as Severus steps forward and kneels down in front of Voldemort’s throne.
“My Lord…”
He tries to infuse the words with as much admiration and sincerity as he can manage. It isn’t much but he has to keep up appearances. Malfoy echoes him and Severus can hear a bit of uncertainty in his voice.
“My two favorites. Both have disappointed me dreadfully. Both of you need a lesson in obedience.”
Not something Severus would have expected. He wonders what kind of lesson this will be.
“I think that Lucius needs more of a lesson then our Potions Master since Severus at least has managed to do something right by killing the old fool.”
He might be getting off lightly this time. Severus is of half a mind to call his familiar back to him.
“Severus you punishment we will discuss in private. Your reward for your actions you will receive now and it will at once serve as Lucius‘s punishment.”
Severus resists the urge to look at the man standing beside him to see a reaction. He also resists the urge to laugh.
“Lucius you need to be reminded of your station. Severus I will give you Lucius until further notice if you can prove that you can control your gift.”
The reward is pleasing; Lucius has always been a very attractive man. But he also knows that there will be no further punishment. Performing in front of the remaining Death Eaters is the punishment Voldermort has intended for him knowing how he guards his privacy. He stands up bowing his head to the Dark Lord and turns to his gift.
