Life Begins Anew

Chapter 41 Dance, Fete and Reward Part III

Hermione entered her bath chambers and took a hot shower hoping that Severus was well in his Death Eater’s duties at Prince Manor. She was sorely tempted to try to find out along the Bong that she closed but knew better.

She dressed in her night gown and tried to read a book. Hopeless! She said to herself as she dressed into a pair of jeans and a short sleeved shirt. Might as well go and wait for Harry and Ginny.

She walked to the door in her Head Girl’s room that gave her entrance to the Gryffindor Common room. After a while she noticed the door open, spilling Harry and Ginny passionately kissing one another.

They both noticed the witch sitting on one of the sofas looking to them in amusement.

“Hermione...”Harry began.

Hermione stood up pointing her wand and softly intoned “Homenum Revelio!” The spell came back revealing one more than them.

“Whoever is hiding come out now! I promise your hiding will not be worth the hex you’ll receive if I have to find you!” She loudly stated out to the room.

Seamus stepped away from the tapestry looking guilty. “Harry! I noticed you and Ginny had not returned and wanted to meet up with you….” He began to say.

“Oh shut it Seamus! You really are worse than an old gossipy witch! I suggest you go to bed and send Ronald down while you’re at it!” She coldly told the wizard, her wand pointed at him. “After all I remember the beginning of term.”

Seamus quickly made his way out of the room and headed up to the dorms to get himself away from Hermione’s wrath.

Soon Ron came down yawning loudly and rubbing his eyes. “Hermione, Harry, and Ginny what is up that you could not wait till morning?” He sleepily asked.

Harry looked at him darkly. “Remember the alcove you told me about? It seems that it is one of the first places that professors like to check.”

Ron immediately brightened. “Harry who was the lucky witch? I’ve successfully used it for years until…” He stopped speaking.

“Until you were caught by Professor Snape and me! And you could have told Harry about the consequences of being caught!” Hermione hissed finishing the sentence for him.

“Harry! You and Ginny?” Ron blankly asked trying to process the information in his sleepy brain.

“Yes Ron! And we did not like the lecture that we had to go through with your parents not mentioning the exam Ginny had to go though!” He told him hugging Ginny tightly.

Harry continued. “But it all ended up well in the end as I asked Ginny to marry me and I had the ring with me!” He said as he leaned down and kissed Ginny.

“Congratulations! I always knew that you two would be together!” Hermione hugged Ginny happily.

Hermione looked to them soberly. “No one must know other than us. It could be disastrous to Ginny and her family if the Dark Lord found out.”

She picked up Ginny’s hand admiring the engagement ring. “It really is beautiful Ginny!”

Hermione tapped her wand placing a permanent disillusionment spell. “Only my death will reveal the ring. You understand Ginny don’t you? I’ll release it once Voldemort is defeated.”

“That’s why we wanted to tell you Hermione. Harry says you are his cool logic.” Ginny said.

She laughed as she wrapped her arms around the witch and wizards. “All of you have a love! This is indeed a reason for happiness!”

Ron looked to her. “And you Hermione? Do you have a love?”

Hermione looked to Ron. “Everyone has a love Ronald! One day mine will be revealed as well.”

She sat with her friends thinking of her dark wizard.

Sara apparated back into the hall and noticed that the Inner Circle had formed in a line across from Lord Voldemort. She noticed that Severus was still seated at the Dark Lord’s left. She sat at the Dark Lord’s right as indicated.

“Let the entertainment commence.” Intoned Lord Voldemort.

They watched as the Inner Circle slowly tortured the captured muggles. Voldemort leaned to Sara.

“See the power that we have over the unworthy Sara?” Lord Voldemort huskily asked her. She felt him weaving a magic around her.

“I do My Lord! And when you are successful, our world will be better.” She huskily replied back.

Severus looked to the Dark Lord and his sister. He remembered the deep weaving magic.

“Watch and enjoy Sara! Feel the power that I do! Do you want that power witch? To be part of the Knight’s of Walpurgis and serve me?” Voldemort asked her again a long finger stroking down her spine.

“Yesss….!” Sara hissed amazed at the lust building in her body.

Bellatrix finished with the last victim. “ My Lord, it is Samhain and I wish to honor you by burning the bones of those most unworthy as a sacrifice!” She conjured up a huge bonfire as the Inner Circle tossed in the bodies. There were a few screams from those not fortunate to die from the torture. A cheer rose up from the Inner Circle.

“A fitting gift Bella! One that I will return!” Voldemort stated.

“All of you should not be surprised at Sister Sara’s presence. She has obeyed all of my commands and relished in the opportunity to serve me. She is well qualified to join our ranks of the Inner Circle!”

He pulled her up. “Take me to your chambers witch!” He commanded.

The Inner Circle watched the Dark Lord and Sara leave the room and cleaned themselves up. Severus opened the door and indicated that they should go to the bar outside the hall and get a drink.

“Well Severus how long do you estimate she’ll last before screaming?” Lucius asked as he pulled his money bag out. “If I remember correctly you lasted twenty minutes before you screamed out.”

Severus pulled his out as well. “I heard you only lasted eleven! She is family! I bet twenty galleons on twenty minutes Lucius!” He sneered. “After all you have bedded her and should know her limits!”

Lucius looked to him darkly. He had never successfully forced his will upon the witch.

Sara led the Dark Lord into her bedchambers and waited.

“Just what I expected Sara. No extravagant taste for you!”

“Well My Lord, though my tastes are simple there are other areas that are not. Some have said that they are rather intriguing and enticing.” She murmured.

The Dark Lord chuckled. “You’ve an idea of how this is going to work Sara Snape?” He asked as he pulled a charmed blade from his robes.

Suddenly Sara found herself naked and magically frozen.

Lord Voldemort whispered in her ear. “You are not to make a sound Sara Snape and enjoy the torture from me. You enjoy it so much when performing it. Let’s see how you take it. If you submit to my torture and scream too early I will kill you despite of what was revealed tonight.”

Voldemort ran his blade lightly from the center of her breast to the spot just above the bush of her pussy, blood flowing along the cut. “Let the game begin!” The Dark Lord stated as he began his knife play.

Voldemort was impressed. She had taken all of his torture and not said a word. He looked to her eyes and saw a determination.

“Sara, you impress me witch. Only one other has lasted this long.”

He ran the blade across her bloody stomach, cutting out her belly button, pulling it out.

Sara screamed out, a loud blood curdling cry sounded throughout the Manor.

Lucius looked to his time piece. “Twenty minutes exactly Severus. You win!” Lucius sneered as he handed the twenty galleons into Severus opened hands.

“Obviously Lucius, she is too much witch for you to handle. I suggest you start going back to Fellicia’s.” Severus darkly chuckled seeing the anger on Lucius face.

The Inner Circle went back to their discussions, drinking their drinks. After all every one of them was submitted to the same thing. It was ultimately up to the witch if she survived or not.

“Sara you have finally succumbed to me!” The Dark Lord told her as he removed his robes exposing his body.

He watched her eyes widen as his manhood was pointing out writhing like a snake. “We shall see if you survive.” He coldly told her as he pulled her toward him her ass in front of him. He entered her with no warning and her screams began anew. He relished in it as he pounded her ass with no mercy. He placed his wand upon her Mark and continued. He forcefully came into her and laid her on her back. She was barley conscious.

“Good Sara! Now we begin again!” The Dark Lord hissed as he once again laid his wand upon her arm, his cock hardening once again as he forcefully pushed into her pussy. Voldemort looked down and saw the blood flowing from her pussy, shouting out as he came once again the Mark on the witch’s arm flaring with a dark light.

He removed himself from her and looked at the unconscious witch. If she survived she would be an asset.

Lord Voldemort joined his Inner Circle and poured himself a glass of firewhiskey from the bottle on Severus and Lucius table and drank it down.

Lord Voldemort looked coldly to Severus. “You know what to do Severus.”

“I do My Lord. I am family and will take over sponsorship.” Severus emotionlessly stated.

Voldemort and the Inner Circle left the manor.

Severus looked and noticed that Hades had transfigured himself into human form and was standing beside him. “Hades! Take me to her. She is in a state between death and life and the wards will not work!”

Hades grabbed him and they immediately arrived into Sara’s chambers. They both looked down at the witch. Severus hurriedly wrapped the bloody sheets around her.

Hades looked to him. “I am concerned Professor Severus Snape! I feel nothing along our bond.”

Severus looked to the bird. “You wouldn’t. The Dark Lord has used a weavening magic. She can choose death or life. She is in between states. The fact that you cannot sense her makes me think that she can truly die this time.”

Hades looked to the wizard surprise apparent. “No doubt something she did not think about. Get Bootstray and Slightly! We must not move her body too much.”

Hades soon arrived back with Bootstray and Slightly. “Grab the sheets wizards. Every minute we linger is a minute close to death. Her TRUE death!”

Both wizards understood the meaning as they grabbed the sheets and moved the battered witch level. They felt Hades use his magic.

The Medi Witch gasped in surprise as she noticed four wizards appear carrying a bloody body wrapped up in sheets.

“Severus!” Madame Pomphrey exclaimed.

“No time Poppy. You must care for Sara now or that will push her further to death!” Severus shouted to her.

Bootstray and Slightly looked to Severus. He had never shown any concern towards his sister before.

Poppy ran the basic test and gasped out in shock. The internal injuries were massive. She would have to heal them first. She began her administrations. “Don’t just sit there wizards! Clean the blood from her body!” She gestured toward the bowl of hot water and wash cloths.

Slightly picked up one and began to wash the blood away.

“I am sorry Madame. If I touch her it will surely cause more damage.” Bootstray miserably replied.

“Well then just stay out of the way! Merlin why are you here anyway?” She spat out not noticing the wizard flinch at her words.

Severus pulled Bootstray to the side and looked at him questioningly. “I thought you cared for the witch? It is why I called you!” He spat out

“I DO Severus, but I have true love for her. As she has true darkness my touch pains her.” He miserably replied back.

Severus looked at Bootstray for a moment and went to the floo and called the Headmaster. “Headmaster you are needed at the Infirmary.”

Albus came to the infirmary and watched the medi-witch administering to Sara. After a few hours Poppy stood up and stretched her back. “There is nothing more I can do Severus. Everything else is left to her. She pointed to Bootstray and Slightly who was sitting next to the cot. “You must leave now and let her heal!”

Both wizards stood up as one, wands pointing at the medi-witch threateningly. Poppy took back a step frightened at the wands pointed toward her.

“Poppy, I am sure that Bootstray and Slightly will watch her and notify you if anything is amiss.” Albus gently walked her to her office. “After all you need rest.”

“If you are sure Albus.” She went into her office.

No one had noticed that Hades transformed himself back into his true form.

“Hades is your master physically among us?” Severus asked.

All the wizards looked to him.

“He is Professor Severus Snape.” Hades replied back.

Albus looked to Severus. “What happened?”

“You are looking at the next member of the Inner Circle or the first death on Hogwarts in fifty years. It took me four days to recover when I was brought into the Inner Circle.” Severus replied. “It is up to her in the end.”

Severus left the Infirmary and went to his rooms. It was pointless staying up there anyway. The two wizards that really cared for the witch was watching over her, making his presence useless.

He poured himself a glass of brandy and thought about Bootstray. Obviously the wizard was in love with Sara and they were intimate. He saw the pain in the wizard’s eyes when he admitted that he could not help the witch without hurting her.

He took a shower, watching Sara’s blood wash from him. Thinking of Bootstray’s situation, he found that did not want to be alone tonight. He dressed himself into silk green pajamas.

He walked over to his floo and tossed in the powder. “Head Girl’s room!”

He entered and noticed that Hermione was sitting up in her bed wand pointed to the fireplace.

He chuckled at his witch. “Surely you know that this is charmed only to me? After all, the Head Girl normally does not have a floo.”

Hermione placed her wand on the bed stand as Severus slipped in next to her, enjoying Hermione’s body against him. She snuggled to his body. “It is best that one would be prepared Severus!”

“I agree Hermione!” Severus tiredly replied letting the exhaustion took over him, his arms wrapped around his witch’s body.
