22. Legilimens
Severus apparated into Malfoy Manor to the sound of Bellatrix cackling with glee, ‘She’s probably torturing some poor Muggle; must be a Tuesday.’ He entered the parlor and nearly gave himself away with a gasp. ‘A loyal Death Eater would not be shocked to see a bleeding Hermione Granger in Malfoy Manor. Not that any of them knew her name as it was deemed inconsequential. Bigots.’ He scoffed out loud as Bella turned on him with a glare. “Oh great you are here! Probably gonna stop me from having fun with the girl.” She pouted at him. He sneered and looked into the face of the Granger girl. She was looking at him curiously and without hate. ‘What’s she thinking? Or has Bella already broken her.’ Despite his annoyance with the chit he would be a bit disturbed to have her mind go to waste like that. Despite his shield she somehow slipped into his mind and said for him alone, “Dumbledore’s Man. Don’t try to free me. I have a plan.”
He glared a bit and cast Legilimens. He was in her mind too now, “You insufferable idiot girl. Think of who you are dealing with!” “I have, sir.” |
