      " Susan we need to talk" severus looks at her amazed by her beauty but feels so much hatred about what he is about to do. "What's up sev" god Severus thinks to himself how is that even in three words her voice sounds of an angel. " Susan I need to let you go" Susan stares at him tears threatening to fall " what do you mean you need to let me go, severus I love you." Severus's heart crumbles "I've done something so bad and awful that now you will be in danger if you stay with me" " Severus I don't think you understand no matter how bad of a thing you did I will always love you no matter what, I'm not leaving you!" Suddenly fiery tears started to stream from Susan's face and fiery words from severus's lips.

" SUSAN DON'T  YOU UNDERSTAND IM LETTING YOU GO BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO YOU I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSLEF-"Severus stopped realizing how many tears were streaming from Susan's face and from his own. " Severus what did you do?" he heard a voice call from behind him standing behind him stood Susan's younger sister she rushes over to her sister to comfort her. " Severus love what did you do" now Susan asking, severus lifted up his sleeve to reveal the dark mark Severus was afraid of the out come of this action but knew it needed to happen. Susan slowly got up from her sisters embrace and jumped into Severus's arms " I will love you no matter what even if that means I have to come with you to meetings and pretend to be 'evil' because I love you."

      
*********
Present day

     " Severus love wake up" Susan pokes her husband till he wakes up shrieking in pain.
" time for the meeting..." he says miserably.
" do we really have to bring her can't we say she's sick" " you know as well as I do sue he won't take that as answer" Severus looks over at his wife who has broken down into tears on the bed. Through the sobs she says "I'm- afraid" and begins to sob even harder " I will not let anything happen to our little girl" Severus says.

    The two then get up and wake up young Bella from her slumber " mommy, daddy I didn't know it was morning yet" Susan smiles sheepishly at her little girl, " not yet love bug but we have to go somewhere." " where mommy" " well pumpkin we have to go to meeting with lots of people wearing black clothing and we listen to this man-" and at this she winces, Susan gulps and Severus continues.

    " pumpkin this man dose not look like any regular person he is bald with red eyes and he has a snake but we don't mind snakes do we love" Bella looks at her father and smiles and nods. "He might look a little scary but he won't hurt you I promise" Severus picks up his daughter placing her on his lap and tickles her. Donna and Liz enter followed by john " it's tonight?" Donna says frowning, Susan's nods and then three of them get up and apparate to malfoy manner.
  
                              ************

       " welcome everyone I hope you all are feeling well-" the bald man stops making eye contact with the small child at the end of the table intrigue by her. " Severus,Susan why don't you and your little daughter come sit up here by me the little one right next to me" although neither Severus nor Susan were very fond of this idea but they did as they  were told.  
The three sat down Bella right next to the dark lord, " hello their young one what is your name" he asked her intently.

    " my name is Isabella eliene snape" she replies while her feet dangle and she smiles " tell me Bella do you like to color" Bella nodded intently " House elf bring some crayons and some parchment!" The bald man commanded. Some parchment and crayons  appeared and as Bella colored Susan watched the dark lord watch her daughter the way he look at her he was enchanted by her, this frightened Susan and Severus.

      The meeting was not truly over until someone died or was tortured, Severus just happens to be the play thing of the evening.       " my lord my daughter-"  Severus pleaded           " Severus if your daughter plans to ever take over my place or second in command some day she will see people tortured or worse killed be grateful I'm choosing the lesser of the two evils." With that the dark lord casted the crusciatice curse "crucio!" Severus fell to the floor screaming in pain with ever scream of pain intensifying the next. " daddy!" Bella screamed and jumped on the table before Susan could grab her.

   Here Bella was standing on the table pointing her finger at the darkest wizard of all time 6 years old yelling " you mean! Mean! Man! You stop that this instant!" And for the first time in the history of toms life he listened. Severus screams stopped, the dark  lord apologized, dismissed everyone and for the first time was mentally defeated. The snapes apparated back home. As soon as they arrived poppy pomfrey rushed in to tend to Severus's wounds along with Minerva. Joanna took Bella upstairs for bedtime and as soon as she went upstairs Susan broke down is tears. Albus, Liz and Donna ran to comfort her, she told them everything between sobs " I- was-so-scared he was gonna-kill her" she started crying  even harder and then her husband came over to comfort her. Albus then realized what had happened with Tom " he loves her, he will never hurt her that's why what ever she wants he'll get her, that's why he stopped that's why he was watching her. Someone has finally struck a nerve."
