Our Arranged Marriage -Snape

2-The Meeting

We stepped out of the fireplace and we were immediately greeted by a table of Deatheaters. I noticed my father had a chair open next to him. He stood up and gave me a tight hug. I tensed up slightly. I hated being touched without warning mostly from people I didn't know very well. But him... I hated being touched by him regardless. The last time I saw him he gave me a beating because I told him I didn't want to follow his path of darkness and I refused to become a Deatheater. He never treated me right after mom died.

He held the hug tight and long. When he did eventually let go he had a big smile across his face like he actually liked me. "Weird" I thought.

"Come sit next to me Mae" he said, grabbing my wrist not giveing me a choice. He sat me down next to him. He was on my right side. Thankfully Draco sat in the chair on my left. I grabbed his hand under the table, fear filling my core when I felt my dads hand on my shoulder. His grip was hard and deep. As he whispered in my ear. "Thank you for listening. I approve of the dress." He said, then leaning back and slowly letting go of my shoulder. 

I knew I had to be careful with what I said while I was here. But I also had to be careful to what I thought about. As most of the people here were very skilled at Legilimency. Thankfully my father was not one of them. At least not as good as some of them. I knew enough Occlumency to keep him out not much... but enough.

I sat there quietly as the group started to quiet down when the room went cold, and I knew the dark lord had just entered the room. At that moment I squeezed Draco's hand hard under the table. He squeezed back to comfort me. The dark lord did not acknowledge my assistance. "Why am I here?" I thought. Then I felt eyes on me. Well crap. I had thought something loud enough that people heard. And worst of all He heard. The dark lord.

"I'll get to you later Mae Song. We need one more person here for you to be relevant" he said in a raspy voice as his snake slithered around his arm. I simply nodded and tried to keep my thoughts as quiet as possible. Draco squeezed my hand to let me know he was there for me. He would protect me if something were to happen.

A while later and someone floo in. Everyone turned to look at the man. "Snape" draco whispered into my ear so no one else could hear. My eyes widened. I knew he was a Deatheater but it didn't feel real until now. My father had mentioned him before and so had Malfoy . He was always at the Malfoy Christmas dinners and other holidays. So I knew him somewhat better than most other students. That didn't mean I liked him. I just knew him better. His eyes widened when he saw me.

"Miss song? What is she doing here?" He asked as he sat in his chair next to the dark lord.

"As a thank you for saving my life last year our lord and I have been working on a deal together that should reward you." My father said with an evil smile. I looked at him confused. What was he talking about?

"Therefore you and Mae are to marry at the end of the summer." The dark lord said my eyes shot wide and I stood up fast.

"What!" I yelled loudly then realized my mistake when I saw many eyes on me again. I sat down fast and quiet.

"Mae is a gift to you from Grant. As a thank you for saving his life and you will accept this gift Severus or there will be consequences." The dark lord said

The room stayed silent for a long moment. And I looked at Draco asking him if he knew with my eyes. My breath hitched in disappointment when he nodded his head.

"Stand up Mae and go greet your betrothed" my father said, grabbing my arm tight and standing up with me. Walking with him around the table we stopped at professor snape and my father pushed my back down making me curtsy for my professor.

Professor Snape stood up and offered his hand to me. I took it only after my father elbowed me. Then professor snape kissed my hand. And the dark lord levitated my chair from next to my father next to professor snape. I sat down slowly and my father returned to his seat.

We sat awkwardly next to each other for the rest of the meeting. I stayed silent the whole time and professor snape talked when needed about whatever.

After the meeting everyone but my father, professor snape, the dark lord, and the Malfoys remained. The dark lord said his final words before leaving. "The wedding shall be here at the manor. At the end of summer. There's no getting out of this. So don't try." He said then left without another word.

My father gave professor snape a firm handshake and whispered something in his ear that only he could hear. Then my father gave me a long tight hug that lifted me off the ground and I let out a small whimper at the touch. Before he then quickly left.

Me and professor snape didn't talk at all but Simply stood next to each other silently as others, specifically narcissa spoke. "So as Lord Voldemort said we'll have it here at the end of summer. Mae you will be 19 by then and I'll send you letters asking what you guys want in regards to flowers, foods, themes, colors, music and so on." And with that she gave a big smile and hugged Draco then left.

Lucius patted Professor Snape on the shoulder and followed his wife. Leaving me, Draco, and our potions professor. With that professor Snape left before us with an awkward goodbye to me. "Well. Goodbye then Miss, song." He said disappearing into the fireplace. Shortly after me and Draco followed.

"What the Fuck just happened!" I whispered to Draco as we stepped out of the fireplace.
