Loved By You. (A Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter Thirty-One: Death Eaters

Again another long chapter but I hope it makes up for lost time. -AS394

I awoke to find Severus' side of the best empty and voices coming from the adjacent room. Curiosity overpowering reason I got out of bed, slipped on Severus' shirt from the night before, which had been thrown over the nightstand in an exhausted state, and tipped toed to the slightly ajar door, listening to the voices which leaked from the room. I heard a vaguely familiar voice but the brief sight of the long platinum blond hair confirmed my suspicious. Lucius was ranting on to Severus about Death Eaters and Voldemort's plan to get information from me. Severus cursed Draco saying, his foolish behaviour had ruined everything and that there was no chance now that I would ever forgive him, but someone else could always try. Knowing that Severus meant himself Lucius laughed at the idea of him actually being successful, saying that there was a possibility that I could find him an intriguing professor but there was no chance that his plan would work.
I laughed a little to myself at Lucius' ignorance. Severus tried to defend himself but before he could speak Lucius cut him off.
"What are you doing with her Severus? Are you just in it for the sex or do you actually care for the girl? Either way you can't honestly think she'd be interested in you. I mean, take a look at yourself Snape, why would a young, gorgeous thing like her ever go near a greasy old guy like you. Don't be a fool Severus, she's teasing you. Anything she's said to you is a lie, she's leading you on, using you." Lucius hissed.
I saw Snape's face, he was stoic as ever, but inside I knew he considered everything Lucius was telling him. I wanted to interrupt the man right there but as he began to speak again I decided to wait for the next lull, in case anything important was about to be said. "And if you're doing this for the Dark lord you can forget about it. It's over. Draco failed us, there's nothing you can do to redeem that." He finished.
Now was the time. I opened the door fully to reveal myself, striding into the room and over to Severus, leaning into him, wrapping myself around one of his arms, but he seemed reluctant to return the gesture.
"You couldn't be more wrong Mr Malfoy." I stated with a smirk. "You can call me a tease and say that I'm lying to Severus all you want, but at the end of the day I know better." The look on Lucius face was priceless when he saw me step from Severus' bedroom in nothing but my underwear and a shirt that barely covered anything. He look me up and down, his mouth agape before actually expressing his disbelief. "Good god Snape. You're actually sleeping with her? I thought you just..." "You thought what Mr Malfoy? That Snape was just using me for Dark Lords plan, just like your son, and that I was what? Just using Severus for better grades in potions or something? Or did you think I just got off on teasing guys and having nothing come of it." I could feel Severus becoming tense under my touch but I had to finish Lucius off first.
"Moving on, I'd like for you to know that there won't be any need to confide your failings with the Dark Lord. True, Draco fucked up, but what are you going to do, he's young and in love, there's no place for him in the Death Eaters if you ask me. So now that there's an opening, I'd be more than happy to join. Maybe in the first place instead of trying to manipulate me, you should have simply asked, I'm more than willing to give you the information you need on Dumbledore, but I will only do so on one condition." I could feel Snape almost completely turn to stone beneath my touch, he had no idea where I was going with this and he was completely unaware of my decision to join Voldemort and act as a double agent, but I attempted to give a reassuring look which he failed to receive. "My condition is Mr Malfoy, considering your little stunt last night, and the follow up this morning , that now, when I am recruited, you will not get credit for it. Now you can spill the beans to Voldemort on how your little plan failed, but luckily Severus stepped in to save the day, and he shall receive all credit for my participation in the scheme to bring down both Dumbledore and Harry Potter." I could tell this pissed Lucius off and Severus was completely taken aback, but all I hoped was this would all work out in the end.
"Very well, Miss Dumbledore, I accept your premise." The oldest Malfoy spat through gritted teeth.
"Now, Lucius, I think it's time for you to leave." Severus snapped, suddenly unfreezing and becoming more present in the conversation.
"If that's what you wish." Lucius replied to Snape who simply nodded in response. I could tell he was trying to contain himself and not say anything to me in front of Lucius, so he walked to the back off the room, into the kitchenette, leaving both Lucius and I standing in the main room.
Now that Snape was out of sight Lucius took his chance. In one swift movement, he came at me, grabbing me by the arm, just as he had the previous night, speaking to me in harsh but hushed whisper.
"What the hell kind of game are you playing at? Why the fuck would you want to sleep with a pathetic old git like Snape? What is it your trying to get out of him?" Lucius grip had gotten tighter, his nails began to pierce the epidermis of my skin and I could feel my arm start to bruise. He grabbed me and threw me up against the nearest wall, out of anger with the fact that I was ignoring him.
"Nothing." I squeaked, reverting back to the pathetic, helpless girl I used to be. "I don't want anything from him. I'm on your side. I'm going to help you."
"So you really will just sleep with anybody?" Lucius laughed. I could feel his hot break on my bare skin as he closed in on me once again. "Well, once your done with Snape, how about you let me know." He suggested, the grin he wore reminding me of that which a snake had before swallowing its pray whole. I flinched as his fingertips brushed my knee before I knew it his whole hand was making it way up my inner thigh. I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout for Severus, but I knew the exact way he'd react, I knew this was the reason why he didn't want me to join the Death Eaters. It didn't matter anyway because within seconds of the whole thing taking place Snape was making his way back into the room, a glass of whiskey in hand.
He didn't say anything at first, in fact he didn't say anything at all. Lucius still hadn't noticed him so he continued to keep his hand on my thigh while the other made it way under my shirt, his hand tracing over my bare skin, pushing the shirt from my shoulders. It was my turn to be frozen and I knew I couldn't help myself, I couldn't push Lucius away. I couldn't understand why Snape wasn't doing anything. I was begging him to help me now. He simply walked the length of the room to the door. Pushed it open. And after catching Malfoy's attention he held an arm out gesturing for him to leave.
The man in question took the hint shrugged and moved away from me, this time closing in on Severus.
"You know Snape, you'd think if you were fucking a girl like that you wouldn't be as tense. Maybe she just isn't doing it for you, if you ever get yourself another one I can take her off your hands. But lets face it, who else would be crazy enough to go for a guy like you, you just take what you can get, right?" He raised an eyebrow suggestively, moving back to give Snape space and he was on his way. Just like that.
