\"In the splendour of the night
I\'ve found company
Once again I feel that life\'s begun
All the wrongs seem to be right
Drowned in ecstasy
Every star is like a newborn sun
May the life I knew be gone
I accept the deal
But one point we have to modify
If I wish to linger on
In a state of still
Only then I\'m yours the day I die\"- \"A Feast for the Vain\" by Kamelot
Chapter 18. Walking on the Edge
The small robed figure tucked the Dark Lord back into his pants before bowing low and moving away, making sure not to make eye-contact with the beady snake-like eyes. Voldemort stood from his seat, walking over to the balcony of the tower and began to watch the dark cloud that swirled overhead, a sign of his dark creatures becoming restless above. He smiled to himself, a grin so vile that the still bowing child could feel it\'s malice and promise of dark intent, and turned his eyes on the followers that knelt in fear of their dark master. Not one Death Eater in the room was not shaking in fright of Lord Voldemort with his dark aura controlling their darkest feelings and magic striking out to push his will on each and every one of them. They all bowed lowly like that to him for an hour, the moon taking it\'s position high in the sky, when the doors of the room slammed open.
Breathing heavy and eyes watering, the fat bald man known as Wormtail ran into the room hurriedly, having urgent news to give his master. Several heads turned away from Voldemort, grateful to have somebody else taking the Dark Lord\'s attention, and in such not having to feel the brunt of his magic on their own. As the rat of a man stopped in front of the throne, he began to speak, but found a wand pointed his way and pain rippling through his body. The Dark Lord was obviously not pleased and was making it known to his follower. After thrashing around for minutes, the spell was removed.
\"You forgot to bow again, Peter. Forget again, and I\'ll give you to the Dementors!\" The balding man bowed to the floor.
\"Forgiveness, my Lord, but I have urgent news. The light army is marching to the wards!\" Voldemort shot up from his chair.
\"My followers! To your stations!\" As the rest of his followers disappeared, Voldemort turned to the window. \"It is time for the last battle. Wormtail, go round up the Vampires and alert the Veela. GO!\"
As the bald man fled in fright of his Dark Master and the battle that was to come, Ethan and Tate watched from the wall, narrowing their eyes at the smug looking snake. They shrunk away without a sound as the other man started to laugh, grinning to himself and forgetting all about the dreams that had plagued him the night before.
----------
\"Don\'t fret precious I\'m here... Step away from the window. Go back to sleep...\" Io hummed softly to himself as he walked with Severus through the narrow alleyways of Diagon Alley.
Severus Snape sighed to himself as he watched the boy smile happily, jumping onto a ledge and began to walk the narrow pathway, humming to himself a tune Severus didn\'t recognize. The potions master just shook his head, a pang of regret flashing through his mind. Io still could not remember anything that happened after he broke up with \'Ethan\', and Severus didn\'t have the heart to tell him all of what had happened to him, or, at least, what they knew of. That defeated look was not something Snape had wanted to bring back to the boy\'s beautiful features. The potions master did find it odd, however, that Io still knew who he was. The golden eyed Ethereal always seemed joyous to see the snarky head of Slytherin, and clung to the man like they were lovers. That thought brought a slight flush to the man\'s cheeks. Until last night, at least, they hadn\'t been.
*Flashback*
\"Io, don\'t mess with that! If those ingredients touch the potion I\'ll have only pieces of you to bury.\" Severus rushed over to the inquisitive blonde as picked up a bad of dragon scales and nearly dropped them into his project.
\"Sorry Sev. What is this nasty smelling potion anyways?\" the boy set the bag down far away from the potion and crossed his legs, before staring up an a slightly annoyed Snape.
\"It is the last batch of Wolfsbane. I\'ve been working almost non-stop for a week to get all of these right.\"
\"Oh, Lupin told me of this one. It keeps a werewolf sane during the full-moon, right?\"
\"Correct. 10 points to the cutie.\" Severus went wide-eyed and slapped a hand over his mouth. \'Oh great. Maybe I should get more sleep before talking to the boy again\'.
The Slytherin glanced over to Io, readying himself to apologize, when he was stopped by a squawk and a loud blast of laughter. Io rolled off his cross-legged position on the couch, hands over his stomach in an attempt to squelch the giggling that suddenly overtook him. The laughter rang in Severus\'s ears, and the snarky-git in him suddenly made an appearance. Stomping over to the couch, readying himself to tell the boy off, Snape hadn\'t noticed the laughter suddenly stop, and something shot out off the floor in a blur. Snape\'s eyes shot open as lips pushed against his own in a chaste kiss, before disappearing in another blur down the back of the couch. Snape sat stunned as Io\'s head looked over the side, one eye opened to peek out at the potions master.
\"Are you mad at me Severus?\" came Io\'s quiet voice, his eyes not meeting the onyx ones. Snape sneered at the boy, his eyebrows raised and hands resting on his hips.
\"Get out from behind there this instant, Io.\" the boy gulped before hanging his head, standing, and walking out from behind the couch. Severus glared at him angrily the entire way until the boy stood in front of him, both of them looking down. \"Explain yourself, Io.\"
\"I\'m sorry sir, I just thought-\"
\"Though what, Io? That maybe I liked you like that? That maybe I found you as attractive as you must do me? That you and me could even have a chance? Well, Io?\" Severus\'s harsh words made Io flinch, not seeing the evil grin playing on the other man\'s lips.
\"Sir, I\'ll leave now.\" Io turned around, still not looking at the older man.
Strong arms grabbed his shoulders, spinning him around to face a smirking snarky-git, who chuckled once before pulling Io close to him, pressing his lips against the boy\'s. Io moaned into the kiss, not knowing what to do except push back into the kiss, letting the tongue push it\'s way passed his lips and into his mouth. Snape tasted the younger man, holding him close and running a hand under his shirt, feeling the soft skin of his chest and back. Severus quickly trailed a kisses down Io\'s chin and neck, stopping at the start of the boy\'s shirt.
\"Io, what do you want?\" Io pressed up as close to Snape as possible, keeping his hands pressed up against the man\'s shoulders, and staring Severus straight in the eyes.
\"I want you, Sev. I need you, please, I need you in me.\" Io gasped as the potions master muttered two spells, leaving them un-clothed and prepared.
Running a tongue over Io\'s nipple, the older man started to suck lightly, eliciting groans of pleasure from the blonde. Io felt the tip of Snape\'s cock press against his hole, and the pause that followed. Raising his head, the older man locked eyes with the Ethereal before thrusting up into him to the hilt. Io yelled his lover\'s name, grasping onto him tightly as he got used to being filled. Io found it surprising that it didn\'t take long, and Snape started pumping into the blonde, feeling ecstacy over the warmth that enveloped him.
\"SEVERUS!\" Io yelled loudly
*End Flashback*
They had made love until they fell asleep in each other\'s arms, Snape still inside the other man. He looked up from his memory into golden eyes. Io gazed confusedly at the potions master, scratching his cheek in bewilderment as to why the other man had stopped in the middle of the alley and now had a slight pink tinge on his cheeks. Io giggled to himself and stepped up to the Slytherin, pecking him on the lips and waiting for the man to come out of his thoughts. Severus glanced up, seeing Io standing there, waiting patiently.
\"Sev, I liked our walk and everything, but we need to go home. We have to get ready for the fight, remember?\"
\"Yes, let\'s go then.\" Io jumped towards Snape and wrapped his arms around the greasy-git\'s neck, kissing him again before opening a portal straight to number 12.

Harry and the DA crept quietly through the empty streets of Hogsmeade, all eyes watching for any sign of movement. A strange, dense fog had descended upon the town, and every now and then, they would see a flash of a shadow the creak of a broken door. Harry, Draco, and the twins took the lead, wands drawn to cover themselves. Io, Colin, Ron, and Hermione were at the very back, protecting their flank. The rest kept track of the sides, making it so all side were covered. The group was spread out enough that if one of them were attacked, the entire group could either converge and shield the person, or, could dodge said attack. It wasn\'t long before a dozen dark shapes could be seen ahead of them, and the screams began to fill their ears.
\"DEMENTORS!\"

THANKS TO REVIEWERS!
Madness~ Just a little random stuff that doesn\'t mean anything... or does it?
Narcissa Black~ Well, I do agree about the spell check, I must confess, I am writing this using a word program so I could spell check myself, but by the time I am usually done with these, I am either dead-beat tired, or just sick of reading to go back and fix things. I try to go back on days when I don\'t feel busy, but I don\'t always.
Aisling~ Yes, Lucius and Colin are just a fun couple... and Voldie WILL NOT have another good day again.
corinna~ Thank you, and yes, I was once a Christian, but it never influenced my music taste, and I have long since given up my faith. Anyways, cheers to Pillar and TFK >.< (I never knew SES was a C-band...)
BitchOfDarkness~ More of Lucius and others to come! Remember, this wont be the last story. I have sequels to come!
thrnbrooke~ You shan\'t have two days wait!
********
No A/N here today, too tired, and I need to figure a way to get myself a copy of HPHBP... maybe I could rob someone....
