The Harvinger's Return; The Heart of a Slave Girl

The Slave: Part 4

Snape paced back and forth in his classroom then with a long sweeping motion of his arm, he cleared his desk with a bellow of rage. He collapsed in his chair as he sobbed into his hands. The over whelming feelings of sorrow, guilt, anger, longing, and self-hatred filling him. He ran his fingers threw his salt and pepper hair but froze upon seeing his favourite picture of Christina broken on the cement floor. He drew his wand and repaired it then picked it up. He set his wand on the desk as he ran his finger over her smiling face. "What I would give to have you here with me, my love." He croaked. A few tears fell onto the frame. "I found our daughter, love... but she hates me and blames me for what happend to her," he took a shaky breath. "What should I do, love?" He whispered. A sharp knock came from the door causing Snape to jump. "One moment." He called as he set her picture on the desk amd with a wave of his wand, everything was back in place on the desk and repaired. He co posed himself quickly. "Enter." He called. Without hesitation, the door swung open and in rushed Minerva.
"Severus, Poppy needs your help with Claire. Potions are not working and the girl is hysteric over a dream," that caught Snape's attention. "She keeps going on about a fire room and a women calling for her." Minerva said with a huff. Severus stood and rushed from the room as hope filled his soul. This was a sign from Christina and he wasn't going to let her down.

Claire screamed at Poppy to leave her be as she backed up into a corner with her hands raised. "Claire, you have to drink this to calm down d-"
"NO!" The windows shook as Claire grew enraged. The doors were thrown open as Snape rushed in amd passed Poppy, dispite the matron's protests. Snape grabbed Claire and pulled her against his chest. Everyone was stunned as Claire instantly calmed. Snape held her tight as he whispered softly to her. She surprised her self as she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled closer. Snape held back his tears as his kissed the top of her head gently. Claire started to sob as the over whelming feeling of being loved by a parent filled her. "Its alright... I have you and I'm never letting go." He whispered. "I just want my mum." She sobbed. Severus tightend his hold on her. "As do I." He murmered.

"Finally, what have you to report, Montigue?" Lady Riddle enquired. The Death Eaters shifted to look at the Vampire whom shifted his weight nervously. "I have failed you, my Lady. My servant has gone rogue and exposed herself to that old hag." He said reluctantly. He sunk into a low bow. "Forgive me mistress!" He cried. Eliza stood quickly, knocking back the chair. "Where is Severus?!" She demanded, looking out at the table of Death Eaters only to have her mood darken upon not seeing him. "I warned you, my Lady," Bellatrix looked toward Eliza with her eyes glinting with blood lust. "He betrayed your father years ago, now he is betraying you." She hissed. Eliza's eyes turned dark red but then stopped. "Carlos... I find it rather intereasting that you killed that baby and obtained a new servant around the same time," she watches his shift his weight nervously. Her eyes widened as she hit him with the torture curse. "YOU MORONIC PARASITE!" She screamed. He screached as he convulsed and hit the ground. Eliza ended the spell as her wand sparked angrily. "I had ordered you to kill that brat not use her as a blood bag!" She roared. Carlos cowered away in fear. "Sounds like someone couldn't handel being the rejected child." Snickered a Death Eater. Eliza reached her boiling point. "AVADA KADAVRA!" She bellowed and the Death Eater fell out of his seat lifelessly. The air grew thick and heavy. "Anyone else.... like to share their thoughts?" She hissed slowly. No one spoke as they kept their eyes downward. "Good." She sneered as she turned back to Carlos. "I will dear with the filthy blooded bastered," She lowered her wand. "And when I'm done, little miss perfect will be begging for death." Eliza snarled and then started to laugh manicly. It grew infectious as Death Eaters started to laugh with her.

Claire sat on a window sill as she watched as the light of the full moon made everything glow with a magicaly romantic feeling. She sighed as she glanced down at the grounds, catching a glimps of a familiar ginger. Curiousity filled her as she saw him enter the Forbiddon Forest in a rush. Fear quickly filled her as she stood and ran down the hall.
