sjauthor: Yes, Valerie's patronus has a signficance to the plot's meaning. Thanks for your little comment.
Chapter Twenty-One: Preparations
In replacement of doing Dark Arts lessons on Tuesday and Thursday of the coming week, instead they spent time rehearsing. Snape considered everything Voldemort might ask of Valerie, including the headmaster advising not to tell the Dark Lord certain things, and also formulating several clever stratagems, in case Valerie needed to use them.
Once done intruding into her mind, as Valerie combated it with Occlumency, Snape laid down the thin blades, called Legilimency weapons, which are wielded by one who is not a particularly prodigal skill at the art of Legilimency like Snape. He was satisfied that she would be more than ready now for Voldemort’s demands.
“Now…You will be conversing with the Dark Lord on a matter that may be more than a trifle of importance in his esteem. It is natural to be frightened. Are you?”
Valerie nodded gulping. “Yes, when the time comes I think it will be dreadful and daunting! I’m sure it’s not easy even for you – a master Occlumens - to deceive him!”
Snape scoffed coolly. “No… It is not an easy feat. To lie to the greatest Legilimens the world has ever seen? I should think not!” Snape paused for a moment, gazing thoughtfully ahead, recalling Valerie’s last and only encounter with Lord Voldemort. “You must feign to be frightened of me almost equally so, in comparison to his presence – I’m sure you are aware last time – I behaved differently towards you?”
Valerie frowned with a pained expression remembering how little dignity Voldemort bestowed to her. Last time, she had been forced to be their object to deprave sexually, then he had attached her to Snape’s penis and told Snape to put her in the enchanted cage Voldemort had conjured! All the while, Snape had seemed to hold the attitude that he enjoyed it. It was only afterwards that Valerie realized he had enjoyed none of it, really.
“Why did he treat us like that, sir?,” Valerie asked tensely. She understood that he had just seen her thoughts from her mind.
Snape’s hands balled into fists, feeling a surge of pity and frustration. It had been very humiliating on his part also. So he was bitter. “Because of anything remotely related to love…the only thing the Dark Lord understands is raw domination, the most instinctive pleasure of the act. He thinks I simply desire you just like he thought the same thing of Lily! The Dark Lord – cannot conceive certain emotions. I do not think he has questioned for a moment the possibility that I could actually – care deeply for another. Oh, he thinks he has it all figured out on love. And he doesn’t!”
Valerie impulsively commented, “That’s funny. Strange to think I didn’t believe you were capable of understanding love either, sir! After you became a villain to everyone – with killing Dumbledore – I really thought you were just like him.”
Snape’s black eyes widened and he steadied himself at these shocking words. He looked at once disappointed and appalled. Snape paused and took a deep breath, trying to forget this revelation. At least she didn’t believe this anymore!
“Do not reveal how I harbor true affection for you. Do your best not to. If not, the Dark Lord will begin to doubt the summations he holds of myself. Years of my efforts to make him see me in a certain light - or darkness rather - will be wasted!”
“I won’t let it happen, professor. I’m capable of a little acting myself you know,” she said with a manipulative charm.
Snape regarded her carefully and then concluded, folding his hands over his teaching robes, relaxed. “This is it, until then. I think we have done enough, or all we can for this to work. When I told the Dark Lord you were doing espionage – he was not as impressed as I had hoped. He remains somewhat cynical. It will take persuasion on your part to make him think you a viable prospect.”
“Yes, headmaster. I understand. When are we meeting?”
“Here. My office. One o’clock Saturday were his orders. Listen to me – the Dark Lord is nearly flawless at keeping his appointments and since I’ve been in his service, rarely takes himself the liberty to arrive late. But... granted he may come whenever he wishes. Whatever happens, do not find yourself here after he arrives.”
“Oh, no! I wouldn’t dare!,” said Valerie, ardently. The last thing she wanted to do was start the meeting with a serious blow to the respect Lord Voldemort required.
Note: Please review! I really do love to hear that you are enjoying this. Or even if you aren't but if you are reading.
