"Severus what do we do" I exclaimed.
I paced across the potions classroom clutching my forearm as it still burned slightly.

"We need to apparate to the manor" he murmured standing up from his desk and striding towards me. Severus seemed worried.

"What about my classes" I questioned as I still had a few classes left for the day.

"Albus will sort them. Come" he said leading me out of the potions room and down the dim hallway.

"Are you okay" I asked gently clutching his shoulder.

"Yes but I'm afraid I don't have all the information the dark lord requires" he stopped to turn to me.
"There may be consequences of that" he warned gaping his eyes at me.

"Severus..."
"What does that mean" I replied a shiver running down my spine as my mind went spinning to different thoughts of what could happen.

"Nothing"
"Come quickly"
Severus picked up his pace with his cape billowing as we walked out into the cold.

"Why where you crying Celia"

"I found out who attacked me" I mumbled trying to keep up with Severus.

"Right." He quickly glanced over to me and gave out a soft smile.

"Did you know"

"Yes." Severus spoke.

"Why didn't you tell me sev" I asked my voice full of annoyance.

"It was classified information but i wanted to tell you the truth Celia"Severus said before stopping
"Now hold on" he said holding out his arm for me to grab.

I grabbed his arm and the world twisted away and we soon was stood outside my gloomy house. I really hated it here. I felt a big pit in my stomach as we reached the front door. I felt like something bad might happen and I wasn't ready for whatever it was.
The doors swung open heavily and my father greeted us in the door way. He nodded at us both.
Before we entered the manor Severus turned to me.

"It will be alright Celia" he whispered before spinning on his heel and entering the door.

I sure hope he is right. I thought

As I entered the drawing room last all heads turned to me as I swiftly took my seat. My palms where sweating and my heart felt like it was going to burst. The seat at the very end belonged to the dark lord. Everyone was sat in silence awaiting him. Some looked down at the table and glancing up on occasions and others looked terrified.

"Ahh welcome everyone" the dark lords voice suddenly emerged from behind me.

I gulped as I sensed his Scaly fingers travel across the chair I was sat on.

"I trust you have the information Celia" his voice stung.

What information. I started to panic but not let my emotions show. My eyes slightly widened as I kept trying to think of something to say. Severus must of noticed I was panicking so he spoke up.

"My lord" Severus said bowing his head.

"Severus" the dark lord hummed making his way around the table.

"Miss Malfoy wasn't put up to get the information, it was me" he spoke slowly in his monotone voice.

"So give me. The information" He said twirling his wand in his long boney fingers.
