Save Me, Please?

Let's Get You to Safety

Both Snape and Lucius stare at me, mouths slightly agape in shock. I stand there waiting for one of them to say something, anything. The silence dragging on was starting to make me uncomfortable.

Snape is the first to pull himself together. He closes his mouth and I can see him contemplating on where to begin. "You were abused and meant to be in my House? You knew I was best friends with your mother? And you've been playing the role of a reckless Lion all while biding your time... till what exactly?" Snape finally asks me.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes and biding my time till i was strong enough, knew enough, and could get us all to safety. I need to get you out. All three of you." I answer each of his questions in order.

It's Lucius who speaks up next, "What do you mean that's not the worst part? What do you mean get all three of us to safety? Who else?"

"Narcissa went to the Dark Lord and reported that Snape and you are spies. She also reported that Draco is not loyal to his cause and that you, Lord Malfoy, have been protecting him, keeping him from taking the Mark. That is where she went tonight. That is what I meant when I said all three of you. Snape, Draco and you need to leave. Go into hiding, or you will die. Either by Dumbledore or the Dark Lord. You outlived your usefulness on both sides in their eyes. I have a plan that I have been preparing since Last year."

Again they are staring at me with their mouth agape. 'This is really getting awkward and wasting too much time. It's already 1:30. I don't know how much longer Voldemort is going to keep Narcissa with him. We need to get a move on.'

Snape again is the first to collect himself. He sneers at me and basically spits his question at me, "What is this plan of yours? Honestly, it will probably get us killed. You will get us killed. In case you aren't aware Potter, even if we go into 'hiding' the Dark Lord can kill us through our marks."

I role my eyes at Snape before answering, "Oh ye of little faith Sir. As you are aware, I turned 17 this past summer. Which means I am officially Lord Potter and Lord Black. Dumbledore never cleared Sirius, so his Lordship fell to me. There is a Potter cottage on a remote island that the Potters own. It is unplottable and heavily warded against muggles and wizards a like. You will be sent there. I already keyed you three into the wards. I have a porykey ready for you to use. I spent the summer making sure the Potter elves cleaned, stocked the kitchens, and prepared rooms for all four of us. While I am not going with you now, I might gave to join you soon. Depending on how things go here. I will try to keep pretenses up but I know there are eyes and ears listening at all times. I am never truly alone. Also, I can remove your marks. I did the research down in the Chamber. I found how Voldemort created the marks."

"WHAT?" they both shouted at me at once.

"You can take it off us? Will it harm us? When can we do it? When do we leave?" Lucius fires off his questions at me rapidly.

"Yes I can get rid of the marks. No, it will not harm you. The spell is in Parseltongue, so only someone who can speak the language can remove the mark. We can do it as soon as all three of you have packed and you leave as soon as I finish with the marks. The marks are the last step before you portkey out of here. Voldemort will feel the connection break, so it will have to be fast." I answer all his questions in their respective orders. "Oh! Please confirm for me that Draco never got his mark, I don't think I magically could handle doing all three in one night."

"No, Draco never got his mark. We lied, telling the Dark Lord that Dumbledore was checking for Marks. Since we are the only eyes and ears he has on Hogwarts, he believed us." Lucius answers me.

"Oh! Thank Merlin, Morgana and Circe." I clap my hands together, startling them both. "Okay. Lucius, I need you to go back to your Manor and pack everything you'll think you will need. Also, anything you don't want Narcissa to get her hands on. Also, you might even want to consider changing your wards to keep anyone but blood out. That way noone can get in. Close off the Manor. Snape, go wake Draco and tell him to pack and meet you back here. I will begin to pack your rooms for you. Though, I leave your storage room and lab completely to you. I don't want to mess anything up and have you breathing fire at me." I basically order them.

They just stare at me, blinking slowly in surprise. "NOW! I don't know how much more time we have." That finally gets them into gear.

Lucius leaves through the floo and Snape lays out trunks for me to fill with his things.

I wordlessly and wandlessly begin shrinking and packing everything Snape owns into his trunks. Including the furniture. Quickly leaving his rooms as bare as the day he first moved in.

Just as the last items layed themselves to rest in Snape's trunks, he came back through the portrait.

Snape looks around, then slowly nods his head before going to pack his lab and storage room.

20 minutes later Lucius floos back into Snape's quarters, as Snape finishes the last of his packing.

Lucius turns to me, "What do you need us to do in order to remove the marks?"

As I was about to answer, I hear from behind me, "What the fuck is going on here and why the fuck is Scarhead here?"
