First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Snape only remembered going there to tell Lily that he was busy and he would talk with her when he could, but he had no clue when it would be. Snape left the small apartment knowing he had to now check in with the Dark Lord. He wasn’t sure what he had expected by stopping in to see Lily, but he was glad to see her smile at him and give him a large hug and kiss. Snape felt lighten by this.

Snape was again soon at the derelict house in Little Hangleton. Snape walked up to the door and knocked again, a scream renting through the night air. Snape cringed slightly he knew a man in there was being tortured for failing the Dark Lord.

It was in moments that the same small old man had opened the door for Snape. The scream was heard again. Snape did not show any emotions to this person’s scream of pain, he knew the short old man would be too pleased to report any kind of emotions about others being tortured to Lord Voldermort.

“Snape, it is good to see you.” A high-pitched voice full of malice called to him.

“Bellatrix, the pleasure is all mine,” Snape told her with a small fake smile.

“I do have such interesting news for you.” Bellatrix walked over to him an evil gleam in her eyes. “I have it on very good authority that the Mudblood Lily Evans has gotten married to James Potter.” Bella looked at him as though awaiting his reaction, when she had gotten none she went on. “You remember them; you kept making a fool of yourself over the little tramp. Potter was the one you hated and competed against for grades and her love.” Bella smiled maliciously.

“I already know about the marriage of theirs.” Snape said in a soft cold voice. I really hate this girl, it figures she would come and try to rub it in my face.

Snape felt a bit of satisfaction as Bella looked stunned and turned from him to leave in a huff. Bitch, Snape thought with a slight grin.

It was a little later that the door opened from another room and out walked Narcissa.

“Hello Severus, it’s great to see you.” Narcissa walked over and gave him a hug.

Snape felt as always uncomfortable when Narcissa would come and hug him in way of greeting. He did though give her a small hug back he knew he had to be good to her since he let her think he really liked her in school when it came to keeping Lily safe from her vengeance.

“It is good to see you, Narcissa how are you doing?” Snape asked not really caring but she was a friend and he was working with her as a fellow Death Eater.

“I am well, I shall be getting married soon myself. It is an arranged marriage.” Narcissa told him. Snape was not sure but she seemed to be pleading with him although for what he had not known. He already knew about it from Lucius who seemed to see it as a duty to his family more than love.

“I shall be most pleased to attend your wedding, if you invite me to it. Who is the lucky man?” Snape asked trying to seem interested. He figured she didn’t know they had already talked about it so played dumb.

Narcissa looked very disappointed in his response to her news. “It is Lucius Malfoy.”

“Ah yes a great man, he shall make you very happy. He was always a great friend in school and out of it.” Snape said happy for her. He had indeed like Malfoy and figured she could do much worse for an arranged marriage.

“Yes he will.” Narcissa said in a small-resigned voice. It was not what she wanted to hear.

Snape didn’t understand her attitude but was not worry he just wanted to report that the boy was not very magical and he did not have anything extinguishing about his looks either. He was just a plain boy of two plain people, who lived in a Muggle type house in a Muggle neighborhood. Snape was not even sure if there were any magical schools there. Snape had seen nothing of any schools although he did wonder if the school just might be as well hidden as Hogwarts was.
