Chapter Eight

 

            “Severus, I forgot my cane upstairs.  Will you get it for me?” Lucius asked.

            Draco watched him warily.  Harry’s warmth pressed into his back as he leaned close, whether for comfort or to provide support, Draco wasn’t certain.

            “Do I look like a house-elf?” Snape growled from where he leaned against the wall.  He idly flipped through a magazine entitled Vino Semanal.  Much mutual glaring ensued and then Lucius marched to the stairs and up.

            Draco watched Snape, wishing he could think of something to say that would force the unconcerned man to release them.  Try as he might, he could think of no argument or bribe that would sway him.  All too soon, footsteps sounded at the top of the stairs, heralding the return of Lucius.

            Draco heard an oath and then a sickening thump, followed by several more.  A black shape tumbled down the stairs, punctuated with flashes of silver hair.  Lucius halted at the bottom, looking twisted and unnatural.  Snape tossed aside his magazine and hurried over to the still form.

            “Oh for the love of Merlin,” he snarled as he examined Lucius and then stood.

            “What?” Draco asked, pushing against the magical circle that bound him.

            “He’s dead.”

            Behind him, Harry sucked in a shocked breath and his arms encircled Draco’s waist.  Draco twined his fingers through Harry’s, feeling a bizarre mixture of horror and relief.

            Snape sighed.  “Well, there isn’t much point in keeping you now, eh?”  With a flick of his wand and some muttered words he dispelled the circle.  “Care for a glass of wine?”

 

The End.

 
HA HA HA HA HA!!!  Totally kidding.  Lucius has been giving me fits with this chapter and I’ve threatened several times to just shove him down the stairs and be done with it.  So I did.  Just a little jokey joke.  The REAL Chapter Eight will be up soon, although it has been slightly delayed due to laptop death.  *hides*

For any of you not reading THIS, I suggest you get your hineys over there NOW and get started.  Tis the AWESOME.  She just posted part II, but this is the beginning:
