Stepping Out of the Shadows

Stepping Out of the Shadows: Confronting Severus

"Letz go." Viper said to the three Slytherin girls, walking briskly out of the room her two sisters following behind. "What was that about?" Pansy asked noisily. The sisters stopped and turned towards the three girls. "Are you inner circle members?" Pansy shook her head. "Zen you can't know." Cobra said haughtily.

"Why are you inner circle members anyway? You're nothing but filthy half breeds." Daphne looked at her friend in horror and quickly grabbed her sister away from the idiotic pug girl. "Filthy halfbreed you zay?" Boa said in a light and airy voice that had all three of the Slytherin girls cringing. "Zo you're zuperior to me because you're a pureblooded vizard?" Pansy smirked. "Finally caught on have you? Great then. At least you know your place now." Viper looked at the girl like she was stupid before she burst into laughter. "Draco, dear." She called. Draco came around the corner his two friends following hesitantly behind. "Yes viper?"

"Vhat ez our family name?" Draco looked at his friends, confused, but answered any ways. "Valentino." Cobra nodded and turned to pansy before speaking to Blaise. "Tell me Blaise, vhat do you know about zee Valentino's?" Blaise cleared his throat before speaking. "They're the oldest vampire family in the world, and are very efficient in the vampire magiks which is ancient magiks and stronger than a wizards magic. They're a French family that originate from the very King of vampires himself and so are vampire royalty." Boa smiled and nodded. "Correct, Theo tell me vhat do you know about zee whites?"

"They're the descendants of Merlin himself." Theo said, shrugging. "Zo Pansy, do you steel think you're zuperior zu me and mon zisters? Chooze your words carefully your magic is powerless against uz." Pansy shook her head wordlessly. "Words Parkinson uze your words, you won't? How about a lettle help?" Boa said before pointing her wand at the frozen girl. "Crucio!" Boa whispered watching delightedly as the girl shrieked and curled in on herself on the floor. "Zell me pansy are you zuperior?" The girl stuttered as she tried to scream out the word. "N-n-n" boa smiled. "Vhat vas zat? Vas zat a non?" Pansy nodded. "No! No! You're not inferior! Please make it stop!" The girl cried. "Boa, let the poor girl go!" Came an amused voice from the door they had just stepped out of, everyone dropped to their knees immediately, apart from boa who was putting her wand away and grinning and pansy who was lying on the floor in a pool of her own urine. "Apologiez mon dark mistress." Boa said giving Minerva a curtesy. Minerva waved her away laughing. "Nevermind. Now get back to school before albus realises you're all gone." She said waving them away. The teens nodded before grabbing one of the triplets each and being brought back to school.

Viper and Draco grabbed pansy off the floor before apparating away.

'Meet us at the place where the death horses roam free... 1 hour, we have a message for you..

Signed The Death Trinity' Viper, Boa and Cobra (in their hermione, Luna and Ginny form) sent it off to Severus. "Hopefully he'll be smart enough to rethink his decisions I'd hate to have to kill the only competent teacher we have except the lady herself of course." Cobra said to her sisters as they walked down the grounds towards the forbidden forest. "If he's as smart as I think he is, he will." Boa said in the airy voice she was made fake.

When they reached the clearing where the thesterals were they saw Severus standing in the shadows looking around wearily. "Severus, ve are zo glad you could make eet."

'Meet us at the place where the death horses roam free... 1 hour, we have a message for you..

Signed The Death Trinity'

Severus dropped the not to the floor in shock. The note burst into flames and he just watched it numbly. The death trinity were three girls that were part of voldemorts inner circle, very few got to know who they were and now he knew they were students in his care.

He knew what they were going to talk to him about and he had less than an hour to come up with a decision, he was not stupid enough to think they would spare him they decided he was unloyal.

The hour passed quick and soon Severus was waiting wearily by one of the thesterals. "Severus, ve are zo glad you could make eet." Severus nearly jumped out of his skin, he turned towards the voice only to be met with three girls he never would've expected. "Granger, Lovegood and Weasley, what do you think you're playing at?" The girls rolled their eyes and Severus watched in horror as the three girls transformed into people he thought he'd never see again. "Viper, Boa.. And cobra." The girls smirked. "Hello Godfather." They said in unison. Severus plopped down onto his arse looking at the girls with pain spread across his face. "Dumbledore said you were gone, he said.. He said Voldemort killed you.. He said Voldemort burned down your house with your family and you in it... No one survived." Severus looked at the three girls, gasping for breath. When the girls uncovered their true selves it was as if his world became clearer his head was pounding and he looked at the three girls.

"Uncle Sev Eet vas dumblydore who tried to kill us, 'e doesn't know who ve are though. We've been zet a mission to vatch you, zee dark lord fears you are unloyal. Ve decided to give you zee benefit of zee doubt and ask you straight up vhere your loyalties lie. Ve don't vant to kell you but ve vill if it means protecting our master."

"He had me under a small imperius curse to make sure I never went back to Lord Voldemort." Severus said timidly. "Zat bastard." Cobra hissed, her magic sparking from her fingers. "Zo, vhat side are you on zen?" Viper asked placing a calming hand on her sisters shoulders.

Severus looked at the three girls that he had thought of as his own. They were all grown up now and three of the most feared death eaters among the order members, so much like their parents that they never got to know. "I am on whatever side you're on." He said finally. The girls let out a breath they didn't realise they were holding and ran towards their godfather, hugging him tightly. "Ve must tell our Lord, Bella weel be so 'appy." And before Severus could object the girls apperated him away to the dark families manor.

"Ladies, to what do I owe this pleasure?" The dark lord asked as he swept into the room, hydra following behind rolling his eyes at his fathers dramatics. "Ve 'ave news on Severus, milord." Bellatrix came into the room as if Severus were her own name. "What do you have on him girls?" She asked eagerly.

"Vell, ve thought ve vould let him tell you." The girls said, stepping out of the way to show the sallow skinned professor on his knees. "I beg your forgiveness milord. I went to dumbledore after you fell to try and collect information for you for when you returned but while I was under his supervision he told me that the Valentino's had been killed and a long with them my god children, he told me you had done it milord and while I was grieving he put a small imperio on me so I would not try and find you and learn the truth once you returned. I am still loyal to your cause." The dark lord looked down at Severus before letting a small smile grace his features. "I believe then Minerva I owe you 12 galleons as you were correct although I feel now you could already tell he was imperioused." Minerva stepped from behind the wall and the four women dropped to the floor on their knees bowing their heads. "Our lady." They said in unison.

"I knew it!" Severus muttered. "I knew you were really a snake Minerva! I mean my lady." Severus smirked, and that's what did it Bella pulled herself towards Severus and flung herself at him, crying into his shoulder. "I missed you so much." She sobbed.

"I missed you too bells." Severus whispered into her shoulder. "Good to see you bat." Sirius said from the doorway where he stood watching his cousin hold onto his ex enemy. "You too mutt." Severus said towards the man who had helped the love of Severus life stay sane enough for him while they were away from each other. "Thank you." He whispered towards him, and Sirius nodded.

"This calls for celebration!" Hydra said pulling a firewhiskey from behind his back, his mother sent him a scolding look while his father laughed. The dark side were becoming even stronger as they gained more followers and at the end of the year the boy who lived would be broken beyond repair. Yes, the dark side had this war in the bag.
