Chapter 3: Down the Rabbit Hole -Enter the OUBLIETTE
Now I got the idea for the OUBLIETTE from “First Knight, with Sean Connery (I love him), Julia Ormond, and Richard Gere. The “place of forgetting” is totally my idea. The rest I am borrowing from JKR. I can’t wait for book 7! I know I am not a wordsmith so I hope that I make up for it on plot.
Chapter 3: Down the Rabbit Hole -Enter the OUBLIETTE
Same Day: At Night
Severus Snape sits in the back booth of a crowded club drinking Ogden’s Firewhiskey. Not an ordinary club, considering the bouncers are vampires and werewolves, but for Hades this seems perfectly normal. This is the OUBLIETTE. The owners are vampires. All creatures are welcome magical or nonmagical in the OUBLIETTE. This is sanctuary from Voldermort. For once Severus appears relaxed. He watches the crowd with a calm, but careful eye.
The proprietress, Malvenia, approaches him and seats next to him sipping her cocktail (three guess what it is). “Tough day at the office,” she purrs.
Severus gazes at her with stark amusement, “You might say that,” he replies huskily. “But I didn’t know that you knew anything about work, Malvenia being a Malfoy.”
“Former Malfoy,” she smirked, “You know damn well my bastard of a father disowned me when I became a vampire. The rest of them are backboneless as they come over 500 years later.”
“I see you don’t hold a grudge. How is your mate, Colin. I believe he is or was Weasley before you “turned” him,” continued Snape.
“Oh, he’s dealing with some club business. I don’t why the families feud. Pairing with him was the best decision I ever made. I had my choice you know between him and Albus Dumbledore. Speaking of which I heard an interesting rumor…,” she smoothly proceeds.
“Ah, do tell,” replies Severus.
“I heard you killed him,” she said directly.
“Yes,…I did. It was either me or allow a child to follow the orders of Lord Voldermort.” Severus took another swig of Firewhiskey and roughly said, “ I could not allow his innocence to be taken away from him. I on the other hand….I lost my innocence a long time ago. Malvenia, one way or another this will end soon, hopefully. My participation comes as a happenstance,” breathes Severus.
Malvenia states and grabs his hand, “Colin and I will protect you from Voldermort and the Ministry. We owe you that much. Stay here! You have done your duty! There is something you are not saying. Please Severus I have known you since you were a boy. The outside world does not deserve you. Before you continue this suicide mission consider my offer.”
When she finishes speaking a handsome young man who bears a striking bearing to Bill Weasley walks up to their booth and holds out his hand for Severus to shake.
\"Severus, good to see you made it here in one piece. I heard about that nasty business at Hogwarts. Malvenia has made you our offer, yes? Please say you will take it. This Voldermort business has gotten out of hand,” notes Colin.
Severus stares at the two vampires, “Does the Ministry have that much of bounty on me?”
Colin smirks, “200,000 galleons. Albus would turn you in himself.”
Severus swallows his whiskey and jokes, “For that much money I might turn myself into the Ministry.”
Colin asks, “Who are you waiting for right now?”
Severus re-situates himself and pours himself another Firewhiskey from the bottle on the table, and then he says, “Narcissa Malfoy.”
Colin snickers, “ One of your flowers, huh.”
Severus gives Colin a pointed look and keeps drinking his drink.
Colin looks at Malvenia, and continues, “I wonder what Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy would say if they knew your “real” relationship with their mothers.”
Severus soft growls, “That was a long time ago. I don’t think it matters very much now.”
“Malvenia, darling, could you give us a few minutes,” requests Colin.
“Absolutely,” Malvenia consents and gives her mate a stunning smile as she glides away.
Colin watches her leave then he turns his attention back to Severus. “Now that we are alone, I will be blunt. It must have been difficult to watch Lily and Narcissa marry other men. I always wondered why you didn’t marry one of them. You were always happiest around them here. Severus, I may look 20, but I am 124. What are you up to…”
Just are he was talking, Narcissa approaches. She is wearing a black outer cloak, but underneath she has on black skintight leather pants with white silk blouse and black thigh high boots. Her hair is worn loose about her shoulders and down her back. Plus, she has a smile on her face. She does not look like anyone’s mother tonight.
She walks up to Severus and asks him, “Is this seat taken?”
Severus smiles and says, “No, it’s for you.”
Narcissa grins and takes her cloak off, puts it on the seat. She smiles at Colin and says, “Good evening.”
Colin in turn smiles and greets his guest. Then Colin turns around and summons a server.
The server comes up. Narcissa glances at her and orders, “Bottle of Stoli’s and a chilled glass, please.”
Colin stands up and says to Severus, “We will continue this later…”
Severus grumbles and nods, “Certainly.”
When Colin leaves, Narcissa inquires, “What was that about.”
“Malvenia and Colin were offering me sanctuary her at the OUBLIETTE. They heard about what happened at Hogwarts and they are worried,” replies Severus.
“You should consider their offer seriously,” replies Narcissa.
“I have to finish what I have started and besides I have you to look after now,” breathes Severus.
“Draco was terrified in Dumbledore’s office. He won’t talk about it. Lucius will be getting out of Azkaban soon. I would like to get Draco back into school so he can have an education and maybe a life after this,” murmurs Narcissa.
Severus takes another sip of Firewhiskey and tells her, “We will have someone put the Imperius on Darco. You take him to the Ministry. Tell them you found him wandering the grounds of Malfoy Manor senseless and babbling. That way when the Aurors inspect him they will see him under a spell. They may blame me or Bellatrix. It doesn’t matter. Harry Potter found him in that bathroom with Moaning Mrytle crying about his orders from the Dark Lord. Plus, Potter was there when Draco was in Dumbledore’s office. He saw Draco didn’t want to be there. Yes,..use Potter get Draco back into Hogwarts. Who better to vouch for him. I will tell the Dark Lord that Draco can useful a spy since I am not longer there. You and I will instruct Draco on how to behave once he is back in Hogwarts. He will comply since his life depends on it.”
Narcissa beams and hugs him tightly, “That was worthy of Lily. She always had the best plans,” she whispers in his ear.
He whispers back, “I know.”
