Snape, Snape, Severus Snape
Tommy was feeling giddily as he brought Snape to his office That he had just decided was his now no matter that this was Malfoys manor, Malfoy was Tommys Death Eater so technically he owned this all. At the office surprisingly Nagini was chilling there now and the snake asked:“§How was your meeting Master, can I kill the ratservant yet?§“ „§Not yet Nagini dear, but my meeting went well§“, he hissed back and noticed with a glee the way Snapes eye ever so slightly twitched at the sound of the serpent tongue.
Was it kind of pathetic for Tommy that Voldemort had one more person - technically a snake - asking how his day went then Tommy used to have? Maybe. But also Tommy totally killed his first Death Eater meeting and got to force choke Lucius which had been a spur in the moment decision to try it out and it had worked so well Tom had almost suffocated the man - and that before he could get all the hair care tips out of the man, that truly would have been a waste of precious knowledge.
Tommy took a seat at one of the two armchairs and gestured for Snape to take the other one, the man did though unlike Tommy who relaxed into the cushions the man sat rigid on the edge of his seat.
„ Give me your wand Severus.“ Hesitantly the other man pulled a long stick (Tommy also wouldn‘t mind seeing Snape pull out another kind of long stick) out of his robe and handed it over.
Holding the wand gave Tommy a sighly tingling feeling like he had when he picked up Voldemorts his own yew wand this morning, only this time the feeling was a lesser one.
Nagini, now thankfully now longer with bumps showing all the rats she had eaten (it ran Tommy could down his back just thinking of all the rodents crawling around his room, he had to get it deepcleaned - if there was such a thing in the magical world), slithered from her previous place and up the chair to lay in his lap and drapped around his shoulders.
„§Nagini, must you?§“ „§What do I must Master Tom? Nagini must not , she must relax and Master is being anice warm body to sleep on§“ Tommy just gave up on trying to reason with a literal snake and when you could talk with her she at least wasn‘t as scary anymore?
„ Severus, we need to talk“ This probably wasn‘t the best choice of words, is there ever a good way to use we need to talk without it being a shitty situation? Tommy doubted that and Severus probably also doubted that my the way he somehow managed to look even more tense.
Tommy had best to just get over with it, so he threw a silent incarnerous at his servant -‚ugh I wanna tie him up in my bed and not for an interrogation. Like why is Snape hot? He came of as such an incel in the books, also Lucius is pretty, Annie would be so jealous of his hair, I should call him L‘Oreal from now on, it fits him so well. Oh wait Tommy should probably get on with this discussion‘
„ So Severus lets not beat around the bush: I know you are currently working for Dumbledore and have sworn a vow to protect the little Potter“, Tommy had to take a short pause to collect his thoughts on how to win Severus back over (since the man had his uses and was kinda hot),“ I know I fucked everything up with you when I treathend Mrs. Potter, but in my defence I offered the girl to step aside three times, I tried to hold my promise to you. She asked for the boy to be spared instead and I agreed, so you understand when I tried to kill the brat anyway he survived and I vanquished, all thanks to you.“ ‚ Mrs. Potter was the right address right? I can hardly call her Lily and calling her Evans would be false and like calling her a mudblood would be dehumanizing her. Also aren‘t you glad to know to be the real savior of the Wizarding world Severus? Not that I know actual shit about this but I read it in a fanfic and it made sense so for better or worse it is now canon and as a Dark Lord who would disagree with me‘
Severus Snape didn‘t seem to move a muscle, for a moment Tommy was almost tempted to wave a hand in front of the mans face to see if he would react, mercifully Tommy didn‘t have to do that as Snape blinked again.
„Yes so now you can see how this isn‘t the most ideal situation to have a spy in my inner circle. So you have to understand Severus I really don‘t have much of a choice but to make you swear some pretty damning vows to stop you from betraying me.“ Severus just keept looking at Tommy like he had lost all his marbles (which he had never, they were all still in a little bag in a drawer under his old bed in his parents house), so Tommy just continued:“ Yes, yes I know, Whaaat Lord Voldemort being merciful and not murdering you for your betrayl? Never say Lord Voldemort isn‘t a kind and merciful Lord. So I am giving you a choice, swear yourself to me again or die. So what do you say Severus?“
„ I am bound by my vow to Dumbledore already, so I guess my only choice is death.“ „Mood, I mean who wouldn‘t choose death if there was a choice“ ‚probably actually Voldemort. You know flight from death guy who wanted to avoid death so much he split his soul up‘ „Um chile anyway, well I am not actually giving you a choice as you are hardly of use to me if you are dead.“
„ How will you avoid the vow I am already bound to then?“ Tommy send a silent crucio at Severus, the silent torture curse wasn‘t as effective of painful as a verbal one soit was just the right reminder for Snape to not forget his standing and who he was talking to. „Let‘s not forget our manners, Severus, you will adress me with my Lord, capiche?“ Severus nodded numbly and promptly got another short silent curcio. „ I expect a Yes, my Lord. When I ask you a question. Understood?“ „Yes, my Lord.“ ‚awww is Severus voice already trembling ever so slightly, god how much I would like to have him begging with that voice in the bedroom, all at my mercy.
„ God so I guess the first step for you is to confess everything to me and about the exact wording on your vow, then I will formulate a new vow for you. Oh and before I forgot it don‘t worry about little Potter, the boy is old news and no longer of importance, you can keep him safe if it means so much to you.“
Tommy pulled out a vial of Veritaserum he had an elf bring him an hour bevor, probably from Snapes own stores. „ Say Aaaahhh“, Tommy commanded like a doctor and then administered three drops onto Severus tongue (what else Tommy would like to do with that tongue).
The interrogation went pretty much as expected, mostly just refreshing Tommys knowledge from the books and movies and adding info like behind the scenes knowledge and background characters. The unbreakable vow also went pretty well Snape now swore to do his best to protect Tommy and not support Dumbledores side in the war unless it is to further Tommys goals.
Also having Snape kneeling in front of him had been a sight and Tommy was lucky the robes were so loose in the downstairs department or Snape would have had bis boner right in his face. Of all the terrible times Nagini decided to then speak up again:“§ Master Tom, you smell like you are about to mate. Can you not right now? And get back to the chair, I want to continue using you as my warm meat pillow§“ „§ Shut up, Nagini. And no sadly we are not mating - yet.§“ Tommy couldn‘t help but grin at the shiver that went through Severus when Tommy spoke parseltongue, especially since he still held the others hand.
„Ermm Ermm, yeah I guess we are finished for today. Of you go - tudledulö - do remember to not betray me again or you will die and that will make me mad.“
Yes, Tommy was definitely good at dismissing his servant he had a crush on had just bound to himself again under threat of death.
