chapter 9

I woke in the middle of the night, rolling off Severus’ peaceful form. I grab my wand and give it a swish, clothing returning to our bodies. I peek in on Raven. She looks like a porcelain doll against the dark fabric of the pillows. I close her door and move to the bathroom, running the hot water into the now large round pool of a bath. I wave my wand and the water takes on the intoxicating scent of French vanilla. I slip my clothes off gently and slide into the steaming water. I moan as my aching body relaxes in the heat of the tub. I let my hair down, Cascading down in slight waves to my mid-back and I dunk my head under the water, coming up when I run out of air, and then settle back against the wall to relax.

Severus reaches out his arm, missing the heat of her body against his. She is gone. He looks expectantly at the fireplace and it bursts into flames in response. He surveys the room, noticing that the two extra doors are still there. Good, he didn’t dream it. He moves to climb out of bed when the fireplace, Contorts and extinguishes, bathing the room in darkness. Footsteps come out and the fireplace illuminates again. Severus freezes, this will not end well. Standing only two feet from the foot of his bed, are Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.

I hear it clear as day from the other room.

“Where is my sister?!”

The anger in his voice makes me jump, I wave my wand, drying my body and applying fresh clothing. I throw open the door of the bathroom shocked by the unfolding scene. Narcissa stands by the fireplace unmoving, Severus wand is inches from her feet. Lucius stands over Severus’, a wand pointing at his heart.

“Lucius!” I scream, terrified “Stop it!”

Both Lucius and Narcissa jump. Lucius stares at me, shocked by my appearance and outburst

“How dare you come in here and threaten him, he protected you, your son, your wife” I demand angrily

“He ruined your life Amy! I will not let him do it again, Leave at once Amy!” He shouts at me

“I’m not going anywhere Lucius! My place is at his side, I do not follow your orders!” I snap heatedly

“He is not worthy of you, He has no right to lay a hand! Nor anything else on you!”

“He is your friend Lucius, How dare you treat him so!”

“Friend or not, He is still a Filthy Half-Blood! He knows his place, beneath you! Not beside you! Amy look at your life! What he has done to it!” He all but screams

“He has done nothing Lucius! My life is so because I wish it to be, my choices have led me here not his actions! He is the single, bravest man I have ever met, and to me I would have him over and pure-blooded arrogant prat!”

I hear the door scrape open behind me, Raven runs out and into my arms.

“Go back to you room!” I order

“Momma what’s wrong” She asks, tears forming in her grey eyes

“Please, go back to your room” I plead to her. Looking up I see Lucius staring at her, half in disgust and half in shock.

“You lied to me!” he hisses

“I never lied! You assumed! Never gave me a chance to correct you before storming off!” I yell back

“You carried and kept a filthy mudblood child” he Hisses louder

Raven stops moving, turning around angrily and sticks out her tongue at Lucius

“You are a bad man to say mean things to me!” she yells at him, bursting into tears

Lucius gaze becomes softer for a moment

“She bleeds and feels, just like you or I Lucius, What makes my child less important than yours Lucius? If you were to find out tomorrow that Narcissa was not pure-blood would you leave her? Would you disown your son? Would they become worthless?”

Lucius contemplates for a moment before answering.

“I love Narcissa and my son with my entire being. I would never think of abandoning them, I would sooner die than turn them away” He says sadly

“Do you love me Lucius? Your sister?” I ask gently, afraid of his answer

“Of course!” He hisses at me

“Then why is my daughter different Lucius? Why is she not worthy of your love? Severus has been your closest friend for
years, He has dined with you, Slept in your home, and taught Draco. You have allowed him to walk beside you as an equal, Why is his child offensive to you” I say taking Raven gently up into my arms. Raven Fights her way back down to the floor and over to stand clinging on to Severus leg. Severus picks her up, almost like she is made of glass and might break from his simplest touch and sits her on his bed.

“You have never witnessed the family he comes from Amy” Lucius says coldly

“No but I bear the scars of our perfect family Lucius” I say lifting my shirt slightly to show the scar on my belly
Lucius Huffs, grabbing a handful of floo powder and throwing it in the fire “Malfoy Manor” and he is gone, leaving Narcissa behind.

“Anything you would like to add?” Snape growls angrily

Narcissa glares at Severus and turns to me “Give him time love. He’ll come around” and with that she is gone.

Severus climbs onto the bed and sits next to raven, Raven climbs into his lap and rests her head on his chest.

“Attention to all people remaining in the castle! Breakfast is served!” rings McGonagall’s raspy voice, echoing through the castle

“Mother, can we? Please? I’m hunnnngry” Raven begs

I look to Severus “You able to make it to the great hall Sev?”

“Able to, yes. Want to, no” he grumbles

“Surely you must be hungry by now?” I ask worriedly

“I will survive; perhaps you can bring me back a tea and a small platter of food?” He asks hopefully

“Perhaps, you could be brave one more time and join Raven and I, I am sure most of the students are gone, it’s honestly
probably just staff now” I tell him encouragingly

“I don’t deserve to be in this castle, let alone dining with the staff” he drones sadly

“Harry Potter told them all what you did, I have already told you this Severus; you deserve to be here, possibly more
than they do. Now get dressed and we will go eat”

Severus huffs, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Raven, go get something nice on”

Raven rolls dramatically off the bed and skips into her room throwing the door shut.

“As for you...” I say while I climb onto the bed and into his lap. I run my tongue down his neck and nip at his collarbone. He moans but keeps his arms crossed and unmoving.

“Face them for me Severus, please? I will give you anything you want. Just get this over with so we can live again” I beg

“Anything?” He asks, arching his usually stone eyebrows

“Anything” I Smile lovingly

Severus pulls me closer wrapping his strong arms around me possessively.

“There is one thing I would like to ask of you” He says gently while trailing kisses down my neck.

“Yes love?” I ask
