Light // Severus Snape // (2.1)

My Lula?

The children would be coming back from break in less than a week but severus didnt want things to change. He didnt want the world coming in and ruining the sanctuary they had built. Lucius was in too deep to get out even though lula made it clear she wanted no part in their evil plans. Lucius had become voldemorts bitch and even in death lucius feared him. But the prospect of lula getting to know her nephew excited her. Draco was to be a fifth year. He would be at the peak of his learning. Lula was going to help him.

'Why didn't you think it important to tell me that Lula is teaching at Hogwarts?' Voldemort spat at Severus during the next meeting, he pulled severus from his seat dragging him out to the balcony.

'My lord...' severus said looking over his shoulder at the patio below as Voldemort tipped him back farther over the railing.

"My lula is a teacher now... at HOGWARTS! That wasn't something you thought to inform me of?' Voldemort spat holding severus by the throat.

'I have been focused on Potter, like you asked.' Severus told him slowly.

'I told you to get Lula back. Get her back! To me!' Voldemort shouted.

'I am trying-' severus informed him.

'You are not. If you were, she would be here!' Voldemort yelled tipping him back just a little more.

'My lord?' Lucius said cautiously. Voldemorts head snapped around.

"WHAT!" he screamed.

'Lula sent a letter. It just came. I thought you...' Lucius held it out, he let severus go. Severus clutched at his throat trying to breathe.

-Lucius,

I am going to be a professor at Hogwarts. I know... 14 years later right? You might be thinking what the actual hell Lula? But, he apologized. Dumbledore, he said he was sorry and that he was wrong. And I know, trust me I know. That sounds like bullshit but Luci its like I can go back to before all this happened and pretend everything is okay. Like the world isn't in shambles and Tom isn't... luci I'm really excited to get to know Draco. I'm teaching defense against the dark arts. I just accepted the position. I haven't even told Severus yet.

Can you tell Tom I'm sorry? I'm sorry I did this to him. I'm sorry my situation did this to him. I'm sorry that things weren't different and we were different people. I'm sorry we lost so much time and that I'm sorry that... I'm just really sorry.

I love you Luci, I hope one day we can talk things through because I do love you. So much.

-Lula

Voldemort let out a pained breath, folding the letter up. Lucius held his hand out for it but Voldemort put it inside his robes.

'You didn't know.' He told severus as Severus rose up from the ground. Small bruises already forming on his neck.

'What?' he questioned softly.

"Lula said you didn't know. You didn't know, she didn't tell you.' Voldemort clarified. Severus nodded stiffly. He did know, he didn't know why lula lied unless she thought this might happen and she was protecting him. Always protecting him.

'classes start tomorrow, I would have found out tomorrow and told you immediately.' Severus informed him.

'keep an eye on my girl. I don't want albus getting in her head.' Voldemort spat. 'that's the last thing I need is him getting under her skin and turning her against us.'
