Where Your Loyalties Lie - {Severus Snape x Reader}

-59-

It shouldn't come as surprise, but it still is... Lucius Malfoy - Draco Malfoy's father, is a Death Eater! Now it all makes sense why Severus wanted me to stay out of his way. Then again... Severus knew about this and didn't tell me? Lucius has very smug look on his face, like he has already won this battle. "Couldn't figure another way to earn money? Other than chasing young children in middle of Christmas?" I mock. "Money isn't the price here, darling." Lucius answer as he takes a small step forward, not dropping that smirk. I do a quick nod:"Yeah? You sure do have a way spending the holidays. Can't stand the wife at home?". That made the smirk drop down on his smug face. The Death Eater on my left takes a step forwards, almost as a warning to stop talking.

Without their notice, my fingertips finds their way to my jeans's pocket. Lucius tries to keep his composer:"Brave. Indeed. I'll give you that much, Professor.". Then he smiles again:"What was it that you teach again? Herbology, was it?". All three of them start to come closer to me as a plow formation. Even I get more nervous, I force a sneaky smile:"You really should update your knowledge, Lucius. My subject is History.". Before Lucius gets to say anything, I snatch the beans out of my pocket:"And you're about to be a part of it.". Everything happens so fast; I quickly cast three spells on each of them as distraction, knowing they'll block them immediately. Then I kneel down and shove a fistful of beans into the muddy ground. The effect of the cold water and mud creates a reaction, causing the beans grow in a blink of an eye into powerful vines that crawls towards the enemy.

The mystery Death Eater seemed to be more alert than their friends, since they immediately turned into the black smoke to escape somewhere in the sky. Right away, the vines tangles around by Lucius's and werewolf-man's ankles. Malfoy's face goes pale:"Wha..-?!", with strong pull they both get dragged six feet under. Just when I'm about to celebrate the victory, I realize the vines are about to come after me. Oh, shit. Somewhere between the panic and wanting to survive, I forgot how they are simple plants, and that they'll attack anyone or anything surround them in over 100 meter radius. And I am not planning on getting buried anytime soon. With that in mind, I start running as fast as I can. The sound of the ground breaking behind me as the vines keeps coming up in the surface increases the panic. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

While running for my dear life, I try to figure out what to do. Since I'm not actually a fast runner, there is a high change the vines will catch me. It's only matter of time. If only... Quickly, I raise my wand towards the Burrow and yell:"Accio!". Soon enough, two black smoke clouds appears flying right above like hawks. Wasting no time, they try to cast spells on me, making this all way harder for me. To them seeing everything go down from the air, I am pretty easy target. Dear Merlin! It's almost like a raise between the two Death Eater who can get to me first. They keep casting spells here and there, sometimes one of them even blocks the other ones curses. "C'mon..!" I hiss under my breath while running my ass off here. Then finally, Harry's broom swoops in and while on the move I hop on it. It takes a second for me to adjust on the broom, but that won't stop me from flying fast away from the enemies.

Now that I don't haveto worry about getting buried alive, I start fighting back. Flying on the same level as them, different colored lights of spells starts to flash on the dark sky. Feels like I'm doing defence and attacking spells in turns. It's really hard to hit a moving target. While flying and dodging, my hands are starting to feel numb because of the cold. Wind keeps going thru the sweater and the wet socks are turn into partly icy. Remus sees how I'm starting to struggle against the two Death Eaters, so he shoots a spell and actually gets a hit on one of them. "Argh!!" a female voice groans as they go crashing down. The curiosity gets the best of me in middle of all this and I try to take a quick glance over my shoulder to see what the person looks like. But right in that moment I turned my head, a spell gets cast on the broom, causing it loose the ability to fly. The sudden fall makes my stomach do the jolt. "WAAHH!!" I scream when going down.
