Chapter 245: 245. Bargain

[A/N: What the hell bros, I'm not stupid to waste Severus' character development on some bull*hit betrayal and crap, there is more to the story. This ain't my first time writing. You don't know what I have planned so have some patience. And those who're cursing at me for no reason, dude, I would have cursed you back if your comment wasn't auto-deleted by Webnovel.

Now, I advise you folks to keep your pants tight and be patient. Or else I'm gonna send Deadpool after your asses.]

___________________________

"You should rejoice, Severus. The Dark Lord wants to personally meet you. It's your lucky day."

As soon as Severus heard this, his heart shuddered. He speculated that the only reason the Dark Lord would meet him, a weak young wizard, would be to make him do something he never wants to do. And the fact they kidnapped his mother made his doubts formalise.

"Follow me, he has many things to do than wait to meet half-bloods like you." Lucius sneered.

Severus's mind was too busy running a thousand scenarios. He simply walked behind them. ~How do I contact Magnus?~

He knew that the only person who could help him right at this moment was his best friend. However, he knew his phone would not work here, and neither did he know a spell to send long-range messages. The only such spell was the Patronus spell, which could in theory be used for this but he did not know how to perform it yet.

His eyes unknowingly became watery... But he immediately straightened his back and forced his eyes to dry again. ~I can not show any sign of weakness to him.~

He knew Voldemort loved and strived to exploit people's weaknesses and use them for his own advantage, to break people's spirit. He wanted to be as unpredictable as possible. And, if he had guessed right, these people must also want to truly recruit him, as he was a very good potioneer, something not very common in the wizarding world.

"What do you want from me, Lucius? And did you truly betray the wizarding world by joining him? Magnus had hoped you'd turn out to be different from your father." Severus purposefully annoyed him, so he would blurt out something. And it happened.

His father was his soft spot. He still couldn't digest his death. "DON'T SPEAK OF MY FATHER WITH THAT FILTHY MOUTH! You... that mud-blood will soon be dealt with. Our Dark Lord will ensure it, and I will be the one to slowly slit his throat, but only after I kill his family in front of him, as he did with my father. I've seen his mother, I wonder if the Dark Lord would take fancy of her."

Severus argued and mocked him. "Your father died because he tried to illegally enter a vault created by Merlin. I don't know if you are just too dumb to purposefully deny the whole picture. And let me tell you one thing, Lucius, Magnus might go easy on you as long as you go after him, but if you go after his family, he will disregard everything, even his own life, and kill you no matter what in the most painful way imaginable. I shouldn't have to remind you of the Battle of Raining Stones?"

Severus truly felt fear for Magnus's family, and him too. As he knew what Magnus' tolerance limit was, and if Voldemort crossed it, perhaps even hell would be too small to hide. On top of that, Ragnar was already traumatised, if something happened to Grace, he might just end the whole world with some super killer gas potion, as his sanity was already on the borderline.

"SILENCE!... one more word and your mother will be gifted to werewolf no matter you agree to the Dark Lord's demands or not." Lucius threatened.

~Weak minded and egoistical, Magnus was right. These Death Eaters are a collection of the most spoiled, spineless of the wizarding world.~ Severus thought. He stayed silent now, as he cared for his mother far too much.

He was soon brought to a small shack in the middle of the forest. The moonlight was bright but the thick forest didn't let any of it fall on the ground. So it was still pitch black.

But Severus could feel multiple presences in front of him. ~What is this? Congress of Death Eaters?~

Lucius pushed him inside the shack and grabbed his robes by the collar to drag him inwards. They passed a few rooms and finally arrived at a decently lit room with candles.

There were not many people in the world who had seen Voldemort personally so it was hard to imagine what he truly looked like. However, there was a general consensus among the people that Voldemort is very ugly. And, it didn't seem very wrong now. It was as if he was uglier than a 10th generation incest born. Flat face, missing nose, bald head, no eyebrows. He looked as slimy as a Slytherin could get.

The Dark Lord that has the whole of Britain terrified currently sat beside a table, eating fruits. There was also a crazed looking woman with messy hair, who was cutting the fruits. ~That must be Sirius' cousin sister, Bellatrix.~

"Ah, we finally met, Mr Prince. Mr Malfoy tells me a lot about you. Come, have a seat." Voldemort was surprisingly being nice.

Severus nodded and took a seat opposite the bald man. He stayed silent, as it was the best thing to do.

"Tell me, why do you follow that mud-blood? Because he helped you with your father? Because he helped you get rich?" Voldemort asked him with a voice that always sounded like he was having an orgasm. It was a mix of whispers and words.

Severus had an answer to that, and he reckoned they would not like it if he didn't say something now. "In the first year, when I had just come to the school and showed great talent in potions, Lucius had come to me and offered me friendship. Saying I belong with them.

"But, at the same time, I saw them treating other half-bloods really bad. I knew they didn't really want to make me a friend, they wanted to use me. And then Magnus came, mocking me, making fun of me, but he also helped me when I needed it. His friendship was true and he didn't care about my abilities."

The Dark Lord euphorically chuckled, "Hehe... of course, Mr Malfoy and my men are really bad at recruiting talents. I also believe that Half-Bloods should not be treated so badly. Their birth was not a mistake, it was bad luck, bestowed upon them by their parents. At the same time, there are not that many wizards for each man to find a magical woman.

"However, mud-bloods, their birth itself is a crime against the magical world. Their parents are the enablers of that crime. Ah... I should speed up my plans of purging more mud-blood families, infesting our world."

There was deep contempt in Voldemort's voice. He seemed to be truly believing in what he just said. Severus felt uncomfortable hearing all this.

Then the Dark Lord continued, "You must be wondering, why I brought you here, Mr Prince? I value you immensely. And I want you to join my army, as my direct subordinate. I will fund your entire potioneer career, you can also do as many experiments as you want, even those that may touch the boundary of dark magic.

"In return, you only need to do one thing. Spy on the Mud-blood prince."

"NEVER!" Severus blurted.

*BAM*

Lucius slammed his head on the table and held him there. "Do not raise your voice in front of the Dark Lord."

Voldemort waited a few seconds, then reacted, "It's okay, Mr Malfoy. He's young. Young people are often impulsive. Now, why don't you go and bring the collateral."

Lucius nodded and left the room. Severus silently raised his head again and adjusted himself, however, just then his heart sank.

"LET ME GO! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?"

*SLAP* The sound resounded and blood poured out of Eileen's left cheek.

Severus stood up immediately. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER!"

Shockingly, Voldemort also got enraged, "LUCIUS! I ordered you to never harm her and treat her like she's our esteemed guest. If you lay another hand on her I will dissolve them in acid."

The Dark Lord may be a twisted man, but he was strong, extremely strong. And his aura radiated, which made everyone feel suffocated. Lucius also cowered in fear and stopped pulling Eileen's hair.

Voldemort quickly went to Eileen and stood behind her, then he put his wand near her face and started to heal her.

Severus was confused because from what he saw, the Dark Lord genuinely seemed angry and dissatisfied. ~Is he that good at acting?~

But Voldemort had more personal reasons to get angry, because, to him, Severus' situation somewhat reminded him of his own from the days long gone.

Eileen wailed after seeing Severus there. Her heart ached because she knew she was going to be used to break her son, she was going to be his weakness.

She hated herself now, she wanted to kill herself. But, her misfortune, she didn't even have the means to do that. They made sure of this, as she was supposed to be their bargain.

Chapter 246: 246. A Silent Plea For Help!

Severus couldn't bring himself to look at her face directly as he knew he would break. He kept himself strong and waited for Voldemort to say what he particularly wanted from him.

The Dark Lord turned to Severus and started, "You must spy for us on all activities of the mud-blood prince. Worry not, you only need to do it till the end of this year, as there won't be a need after that. Until then, your mother will be our guest. She will live inside a secure room, with everything from food to other basic needs." His voice abruptly turned a bit colder, "But remember, if you dared to betray us, or even utter a single word about this to anyone not here, she will face exactly what Lord Malfoy told you. Now make a decision."

The words of Voldemort fell like a spear on his ears. The gravity of what was being asked of him was too big. To betray his best friend, whom he really saw as a brother... this was a crime in his mind.

But... seeing Eileen's face, his resolve was wavering. His heart was in conflict.

"No, Severus. Don't worry about me. Do not listen to these monsters." Eileen cried. She loved her son and knew she had already ruined his childhood. Now, she didn't want to ruin the rest of his life by being a liability to him. She knew who was Magnus and what his name and status meant. If Severus betrayed him, he wouldn't just be breaking a friendship but making an enemy out of the descendant of Merlin, this was akin to rejecting god in her mind.

Severus's fist shivered, his breathing became heavy. His forehead's veins popped up. He could not think of a way out. He wanted to save Eilnee, there was no doubt about it.

Between Magnus and Eileen, he couldn't choose. Both held equal importance to him. He felt like killing himself, but it wouldn't solve anything.

"Quick, we don't have all day." Voldemort annoyedly nudged him.

"HEHE... I can bet he will choose his mama." Bellatrix fanatically shouted, exactly what was expected of her.

*Sigh*

Severus took a very long breath. His face looked devoid of any emotions. All the changes that had appeared on him through the years disappeared in a second. The dark and broody Severus returned, his mind under great stress.

He could only pray, only hope. ~Magnus, please look through my change in personality.~

"I will do it," He resolutely agreed to them.

"NO! DON'T DO IT! You will not be able to... forgive yourself after this... *Sniff* Don't, Sev." Eileen pleaded.

~The same will happen if I left you to die.~ He said to himself.

"HAHAHA... good boy, good decision." Voldemort laughed. He walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder.

"You will enjoy being a part of us, Mr Prince. However, before you start your mission, there is one more thing." He stepped away all of a sudden, "HOLD HIM!"

"What are you doing?" Severus confused, looked left and right. 2 Death Eaters jumped and slammed his upper body on the table and bent him. He tried to move and free himself but they overpowered him. He didn't have his wand either, so he felt helpless. His face paled when Lucius acted next.

Lucius came forward and grabbed his arm, "Nothing, we're just ensuring our property now."

Voldemort came forward with his wand out and a hideous smile plastered on his face. "Don't worry, it won't hurt. It's just a simple... Dark Mark."

"NO! I will spy for you, this is not needed." Severus panicked. He didn't know if this Dark Mark could ever be removed. Getting this mark was as good as becoming a Death Eater, and if he was found out, he's afraid nobody will believe him, not after betraying Magnus.

Voldemort took great joy in his agony and put his wand on his wrist and upper arm. "I will be done soon, and after this, you will become an official member of our order. And..." He came near his head and whispered, "With this, I will always know what you do, what you will say and where you are. Hahaha..."

"Hold him tight," he ordered.

Voldemort cast some kind of a spell immediately and slowly waved his wand over the wrist. Severus was hurting and he clenched his teeth. He felt something moving in his veins and making its presence known across its body.

The spell was complicated, after all, it had so many functions. It was made by Voldemort himself. This spell made sure that his subjects stayed loyal to him. However, the only thing it lacked was the ability to read its subjects' minds.

The whole process lasted 3 minutes, but they felt like an eternity to Severus. Once he was released, he looked at his arm. It had a dark coloured skull and snake coming out of the mouth of the skull and coiling itself around in loops. The mark was also moving slightly, like the magical portraits.

"You may leave now, Mr Prince, but just keep on sending letters containing the information to your house. Make it look like you are writing to your mother. If you do a good job we will keep Miss Prince safe. Break the deal, and we will... you know it. Mr Malfoy, take him away." Voldemort ordered and didn't even spare a glance at Severus further.

"SEVERUS!" Eileen called him when she saw him being dragged away.

Severus glanced at her and softly nodded, trying to give her strength. He knew all he needed to do was somehow let Magnus know about everything and all problems might get solved. Merlin's magic was with him after all.

Lucius brought him to the same place he appeared and shoved his wand in his hand. "Severus, you may have joined the wrong side originally, as long as you do good, My Lord will treat you right. Believe me."

~It's really hard to trust someone with a face like that.~ Severus muttered to himself.

He simply nodded, not in the mood to talk. Lucius handed him the same box as before, "You know what to do."

Severus grabbed it and chanted, "Hail the Dark Lord."

*WOOSH*

...

Severus found himself back at his home, outside it was already evening and the sky was turning dark. The lights were not on at home so everything was nearly dark. Similar to how he was feeling right now.

As soon as his feet touched the floor again he collapsed. His eyes finally let loose and a few tears appeared on his expressionless face. He made no noise however, he didn't want the Dark Lord to feel good with his misery.

~I must keep a distance from Rag and Mag whenever they will talk about sensitive things.~ Severus understood this much about the dark mark now.

He went to his room and sat down on the chair. Brainstorming what he should do, however, the more he thought he felt more helpless, the Dark Mark had restricted too many things that he could have done.

Now, if Magnus didn't take the initiative and used legilimency on him, he will never be able to tell people. What made him feel bad was that Magnus would most likely never do something like using Legilimency on him, his best friend.

He folded his arms and rested his head between them on the table. He didn't feel like moving, or even turning on the lights. There was just one single candle now, and he just stared at its flames.

He felt like a candle. As it would burn and kill itself slowly, the surrounding darkness would soon take over.

...

Magnus' Mansion.

What happened with Severus, Magnus had no idea, if he did, he would have used Merlin's staff and do everything possible to help his friend. But he was oblivious.

He was at home, packing his luggage and humming some songs. He was taking many electronic items with him this time. They included mobile phones, Portable Radio, an electric record player, an electric generator that runs on fuel, and a few portable batteries that were large. He was going to turn his Slytherin Hall into a big music room where people can relax at times. Of course, he didn't forget to bring many vinyl records.

"Hehe, this year, I am going to conquer Slytherin house, then, when other houses find how cool mine is, I will gift them these too." He planned as an evil capitalist would. But Magnus was not evil, he was a good boy, as he did things for free when it came to making friends.

After half an hour, he was done with the packing. This time he was taking 3 extra boxes, and mind you, they were all enchanted to have extra space.

~Is dinner ready?~ He wondered and headed to the kitchen. He didn't hear any sound from there, however.

"Mum, where are you?" He loudly asked.

*TANG TING*

All of a sudden he heard a loud steel plate dropping sound. He ran inside to see what happened, and what he found shocked him.

"CHAD? What the..."

[A/N: Before you bros jump on me, don't worry. I'm not gonna be pushing this Severus plot for too long. Currently, it's nearly September 1st in the fic timeline, this whole arc will come to a conclusion by October end in this novel.]
