captured by a traitor?

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>As the Slytherin left a puzzled Gryffindor
behind him Severus ordered the two men that flanked him to be sure that the
doors were locked upon his departure.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Damn can you believe the cockiness of that
old bastard?”

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Humph pay him no mind… he has recently
tested our lords favor and will soon be reminded of his place.” The second
guard reassured the first with a smirk.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>As Severus approached the dungeons where he
knew that Lupin had been placed he could tell by the scents that wafted past
his nose something was very wrong.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Standing before his serpent like Master
Severus bowed from the waist…

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>     “You
wished to see me my lord?”

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>    

style='mso-spacerun:yes'>    “Indeed
Snape there seems to be a problem with our new pet. I demand that you fix this
problem now!”

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“With all due respect sir I must know what it
is that you have given to the beast so that I know exactly what to give him to
counter these side effects.”

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Severus knew the animalistic side effects his
old foe was currently suffering could only occur when the aphrodisiac he had already
given to Remus was mixed with another even more powerful one. His task now
would be to discover which one and pray that he could counter it in time if at
all. Casting a worry filled look at the lycanthrope he then turned to face his
lord and fellow death eaters.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Alright which one of you imbeciles fed him a
second aphrodisiac without checking with me to see ifstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'>  it was safe to combine potions with the one
he had already been given?!”

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The room went still as the wolf continued to
pace back and forth in his cage. Silently a hand went into the air. The hand
belonged to a new recruit by the name of Smith. Smith could be described as a
poster child for Voldemort’s desperation. The man was stupid so stupid in fact
that Severus was convinced that a troll had a better chance of passing his
O.W.L.’s than Smith did.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Taking a deep breath to steady class=GramE>himself Severus walked up to smith and through clinched
teeth asked the question he secretly dreaded the answer to.

style='font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Tell me Smith what exactly did you give our
guest?”

“Well sir you see I was ordered
you see, I I gave him amour potion variety number
nine to be precise.

Severus rolled his eyes
silently damning Muggle borns and there ridiculous names for the things they
invented.

Damn it that’s a new potion and
it has no known counter for its effects.

“Mystyle='font-family:"Courier New"'> lord this particular aphrodisiac has no
counter as it is so new. The potion shall have to work itself out of the wolf’s
system. I apologize for my inability to give you a counter for this apparent
oversight.”

As Snape turned to go he was
seized about the waist.

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I am most disappointed in you Snape. Oh well
since you cannot brew a potion to deal with this…”

There was a pause then the
sound of snapping of fingers. Severus was then hoisted up off the ground and thrown
into the cell with the wolf. A triumphant growl as the cell door was once again
closed, and then the beast was upon him then. For the first time in his life
Severus Snape knew true fear…
