Chapter Text
As the meeting was wrapping up, Voldemort called for the Potion Master to stay knowing that the two unmarked would stay to talk to either him or his mate. As soon as the four of them were alone, Harry turned to the two unmarked and raised an eyebrow asking a silent question. The two shared a look and took off their hoods revealing Neville and Luna. Luna just looked at Harry with a serene but serious expression and said, "Where you go, we follow."
Neville smiled clapped a hand to Harry's shoulder saying, "You were there for us and we haven't forgotten it. You are our leader, now and always."
Harry smiled and turned to speak with his beloved whispering, "Lets not mark them and have them be our eyes and ears in the light just like the shadows."
Voldemort stared at Harry, "Amun, do you trust them?" Getting a nod in return, he sighed and spoke to the two unusual people who stood before him without fear, "Amun believes and trusts in you. We will not physically mark you. As Amun has said, you would be better off unmarked, being our shadows in the light. Come back in two days and we will have something for so you will know of future meetings."
"If the light becomes too bright, look for the shadows and I will come get you," Harry told his two loyal friends seriously, leaving no doubt that he could and would save them.
Luna looked at Harry replying, "Our shadows will look after us."
Turning to Voldemort Luna also said, "Your new shadow will never part from you and you have helped heal his darkness. He is stronger because of you."
With that Luna and Neville both bowed and left quietly slipping into the night as if they were a part of it.
Severus had stood to the side and watched the interactions with interest and caution. When he had first walked in, he could feel something watching him...reading him, as if he were an open book, willing him to spill his secrets and innermost thoughts. He had been both shock and unsurprised to see a shadow man speak to his lord, he knew that he was the one who had been watching and reading him. Severus watched the demonstration of Bellatrix and could not help but smirk as she was brought down. But his fear and dread slowly rose as he meet Amun's eyes and he knew that Amun knew his secrets and past. When he was held back he feared the worst that he had been discovered like that foolish supposed spy. What surprised him though was two students from Hogwarts were here unafraid as they stood before the most powerful people and practically pledged their allegiance to Amun as well as stating that he was their leader and would follow him anywhere. It was interesting that they knew Amun and he didn't. It didn't bode well for a spy to be out of the loop. He will have to talk to them later. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't realize that they were alone until Amun said, "My Lord, I believe you should show Snape your true form."
Snapping his eyes to his Lord Voldemort, he watched as the glamour melted away revealing the man he had vowed to serve so long ago.
Steeling himself, he whispered, "My lord" with such reverence that Voldemort was amused as his mouth quirk a little on the left and his mate just smiled a little.
"My Amun, I believe it is only fair that you reveal yourself as well," Voldemort stated glances sidewise at his mate.
Smiling at his Beloved, Harry removed his mask Revealing his emerald eyes in the entirety and the infamous lightening bolt scar.
Snape stared and connected the dots, of course Luna and Neville knew Amun, because he was Harry. Wait! What was Harry do here with dark side?
"Wha-Ho-You-Missing" Snape could not form an actual sentence in his bewildered state. He, for all of his "hating of The Golden Boy" actually cares for Lily's son. But with Voldemort and Dumbledore watching his every move, he could not do much for the boy he considered his nephew. He had loved Lily as a sister and he had been an older brother to her until that fateful day. He had desperately wanted to take it back as he watched her face close in anger but he had already sold his soul to two different masters. So it was no great surprise that when Harry disappeared early summer that he was in a foul mood, worse than normal. Everyone had believed that it was because he thought the boy was acting out being just like his father, but in reality he was worried that something had happened and he hadn't been there to save him. Now that he had seen Harry healthy and taller? He started to get angry. An almost parental feeling overcame him.
Something must have slipped past his occulamency shields since before he could get a word out, Harry beat him to it.
"I am sorry Snape, I didn't mean to cause you to worry, but I didn't know who you were truly were loyal to. After seeing you here to tonight, I must confess that it has cleared up some things for me. I would also like to asked for your forgiveness during our lessons and if I could call you Uncle Sev," the impertinent boy ended with smirk.
"YOU BRAT" Severus yelled raising his hands as if to shake the man before him, "Don't you ever worry me like that again! And if you call me Uncle Sev, I will have you skinned and hanged by your pinky toes. But I don't mind Uncle Severus in private." He then walked towards Harry and gave him a hug. A hug that meant that all was forgiven and all is accepted.
As Snape pulled away, he tensed realizing just where he was and who he was in attendance with. Bowing low, he said, "Forgive me my lord."
