Broken But Vengeful (SnapeXReader) Book 2

3

I peeled open the envelope and began reading.

Y/N,

Please meet with me. I do hope what I have heard is not true. Please write back a time you can meet with me. If I don't hear back in three days I will come find you. I am assuming you are at the Malfoys.

----Dumbledore

Shit. I can't meet with Dumbledore, he will probably kill me.

I pulled up my sleeve and pressed a finger to the skull tattoo. Once I was done. I quickly left my room and headed to the sitting room.

Within two minutes Severus walked into the room. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. He looked me up and down making sure that I was ok.

"This." I held out the letter to him.

Once he was done reading he looked back up at me. "What's the problem?"

I snatched the letter from him. "The problem is that Dumbledore and Voldemort hated each other. Dumbledore wanted Voldemort dead because he was the dark lord and last time I checked, that's who I am."

"Dumbledore wouldn't hurt you."

"How would you know? That would be the easiest way to get of death eaters right? Kill the leader and they fall apart. However Dumbledore doesn't understand these people like I do. You don't even understand them how I do. Voldemort's powers give me lots of insight into the death eaters."

"He probably wants to discuss how you are going to run the group and maybe even guide you."

"You mean control me? Dumbledore isnt stupid. A seventeen year old running a group of murders. He is going to want to either control me or kill me."

"He wouldn't do that."

"I am his enemy, Severus!" I exclaimed. "He will either try to kill me or control me and I don't plan on either happening."

"So what are you going to do?"

I thought for a moment. "I need to leave. Go somewhere Dumbledore would never expect me to be. I definitely can't stay here. He said in his letter that he knows where I am."

"How about you meet with Dumbledore and see what he wants."

"I am not risking anything."

"I can be there with you if you would like. Besides, you are probably more powerful than Dumbledore, he most likely can't kill you."

"We don't know that. I will just find somewhere else to stay." I thought about places I could go. I don't really have any.

"Where are you going to go?" It was as if Severus read my mind. He knew I had nowhere to go.

"I don't know but I will figure it out."

"Will you be alone wherever you go?"

I shrugged. "Probably."

"Dumbledore probably wouldn't find you at my house. He wouldn't expect it." He said quietly.

I looked at him and thought about it. "It could work. But you don't have to do that."

"It's fine. I want to help you."

It occurred to me then. He is choosing me over Dumbledore. He is now choosing the dark lord over Dumbledore. Severus is risking his life to be loyal to me.

"Are you sure?"

He nodded.

"Ok. I will get my stuff. I need to leave as soon as possible."

"Do you need help?"

"No, I am fine. I will meet you at the front door." I quickly left the room and headed up to the room I was staying in.

I don't really want to stay with Severus. However I have nowhere else to go.

Once I packed up all my things I pressed a finger to my wrist where the skull tattoo is.

A few seconds later there was a knock on the door. "Come in."

Lucius came in. "You called?" His eyes traveled to the trunk on the floor next to me.

"Yes. Dumbledore knows that I am here so I have to leave."

"Where will you be going?"

"I cannot say."

Lucius nodded.

"I need you to find me somewhere for me to stay permanently. I don't really want to stay where I am going so I want to limit my time there. I will call you to me in about a week."

"I will find a place for you. Stay safe my lord." He bowed.

I nodded to him in acknowledgment. I cast a spell on my trunk to make it float. Then I strode past Lucius and into the hallway.

I met Severus in the hallway.

"Ready?" He asked.

I nodded.

He held out his hand.

I smirked at him and ignored his hand.

Gaining Voldemort's power gave me the ability to aparate by myself. I didn't even need to train. It just happened.

I thought about Severus's house and closed my eyes.
