'Severus," Lucius smirked at the younger wizard. "Follow me."

Severus followed Lucius up the grand staircase towards the bedrooms upstairs. The manor echoed the sounds of the other Death Eaters, who were hosting an initiation for the newest members, in the old ballroom. Muggle women were the choice of entertainment, as the newest members were always given one each to rape, torture and then kill.

The laughter mixed in with the screams, but as the two wizards reached the halfway point in the upstairs hall, the noise began to fade. Lucius led Severus to the last door, and opened it with a smirk. Severus entered the room past Lucius, but paused just inside the door.

There, Bellatrix stood at the foot of a large four-poster bed, smirking at the expression on his face. Slowly, she waltzed her way to him, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Welcome Snape," Bellatrix leered, "your reward is in the bed." She told him, as Bella turned and gestured towards the bed. A green and silver comforter hung loosely over its' edge, a green canopy covered the top and Slytherin crested pillows adorned the head of the bed. But laying in the middle of the duvet was a woman; her hands chained to the headboard, and her feet chained one to each of the posts at the foot of the bed.

And she was naked. Completely starkers. Severus' eyes traveled up the woman's torso to her face, and he felt himself become unable to breath.

Katherine.

She was looking at him with wide-eyes. She looked surprised and even a little scared. And she wasn't talking, making Severus think that Bella had hit her with the Langlock hex. She was breathing rapidly, her bare chest heaving up and down.

Severus turned back towards Lucius with a raised eyebrow. Bellatrix was now standing next to her brother-in-law, with both blocking the door.

"I don't understand." Severus said, furrowing his brow.

"What's to understand," Lucius grinned, "she's a gift. A half-blood for a half-blood." Lucius reached out and turned Severus back towards the bed then gave him a little push. "She's all yours."

Severus slowly made his way to the side of the bed, all the while keeping his black eyes on her blue ones. He stopped within a foot, and began to rethink this whole ordeal, when suddenly a wand was in his back.

"I suggest you disrobe quickly," Bella hissed into his ear from behind him. "The Dark Lord will want to see you after the deed is done." Severus hesitantly striped down to his drawers, his eyes never leaving Katherine's.

"The underwear must go as well Severus, in order to fulfill the act," Lucius chuckled from the doorway. Sluggishly, Severus slipped the gray boxers from his hips and let them fall to the floor. To Sevuers' surprise, Katherine eyes never left his; not once did they roam over him body.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" Bella hissed. "Mount her...take her." She pushed Severus closer to the bed, still at wand point.

"Are you both staying in here?" he said, chancing a glance over his shoulder to look at the elder witch and wizard.
