Summary: The dark lord being the evil pure-blood maniac ordered all his death-eaters to capture half-bloods and muggle-borns and torture them to death. Severus being one of Voldemort’s most trusted follower was entrusted with something different. Out of the many methods of being immortal, one was to produce an heir. He wanted an heir. But him being incapable of producing an heir he gave the job to Severus who carries the blood of the Prince family. But the woman who shall carry the child is unwilling to give in. 

Snape being the gentleman we know would never hurt anyone unless absolutely necessary. Especially with it being a woman. Instead, he put all effort into brewing a potion which will need just the blood of the father to produce a child. 

***

It was just another midnight death eater meeting. Muggle-borns being killed and tortured ruthlessly. The dark lord closed his eyes and was deep in though when he was pulled out by a familiar voice. 

“You called for me, my lord?”

“Ah Severus, yes. You keep providing me with your loyal services and bring me valuable information but this time I need more. Much more.”

Seeing that he was waiting for an answer Snape replied.

“Of course my lord. Whatever you desire.”

“You know what I most desire Severus. You are a clever man. On my mission of being immortal stand several barriers. I have been trying various methods but one remains….an heir. I need you to deliver me one.”

The sociopath was trying various ways to achieving immortality but an heir was not something he had yet considered. Severus scanned through the risks and dangers of agreeing. While he also was reminded that if he denied, the dark lord’s suspicions would rise and his cover would be blown. Leaving him with no option, but to agree.

“Anything you order me to do my lord. May I request the details?” 

“There is a woman about whom a prophecy has been stated. She possesses the power to destroy me, but we need to turn that against her. Although the blood that runs through her veins is muggle blood, the power needs to be put to my use.”

Severus could see this heading to nowhere good and he prepared himself for the worst that could happen. 

“The woman shall be captured and brought here tomorrow by Bellatrix. And I will need you to impregnate her as soon as you can. Of course she will be unwilling to submit herself, but do what you will have to. Details of this task must remain between the Malfoys, Bellatrix, you and me, only. Do you understand, Severus?”

“Yes my lord. I will try my best.”

“Good, you may depart. I will meet you here tomorrow by 11.”

With a slight bow Snape disapparated back to his house on Spinner’s End. How was he going to do this? Forcing himself over a woman just for the need to producing an heir. There has to be another way. 

Covered in a slight layer of cold sweat, he rushed to the fireplace and Floo called Dumbledore to convey the dreadful news.

In a few minutes, the headmaster was in Severus’s living room. 

“What was so important, Severus?”

“Take a seat, you might as well need it.”

Albus did as told as Severus sucked in a deep breath and sunk down on the chair opposite the older man. 

“There was a meeting and the dark lord has assigned me a task. Which apparently is a way of making him immortal.”

“What is the task.”

“A prophecy has been stated about a woman with the power to vanquish the dark lord and he wants an heir. An heir whose mother must be the said woman. He needs me to do the deed. With her being unwilling and possibly a muggle-born.”

A heavy and tense silence settled in as Albus was deep in thought about the news he’d just received. 

“What do I do Albus?”

Severus asked with the look of a helpless and defeated man.

“You will have to do it Severus. If not, you will be exposed and all effort would be in vain. I will think of an alternative and let you know. When will you have to do it?”

“Tomorrow night. 11 pm.”

He whispered gravely and looked into Albus’ curious blue eyes. 

 “I am sorry my boy. I would offer my assistance if I could.” 

“Sorry does not make it any better Albus.”

***

The time had arrived. He had no other option but to do as said. With clammy hands he put on his death-eater robes and mask and apparated to the Malfoy Manor. 

The place was empty, cold and deserted. He scanned the hall for any sign of the dark lord but he was no where to be seen. 

“Severus. Follow me.”

It was Lucius. Severus followed him down to the dungeons, passing cells with prisoners and house-elfs, and stopped in front of a wall at the end of the dingy corridor with cells on either side. With a wave of Lucius’s wand, the stone wall ahead vanished revealing a large room where he was met with a horrendous sight. 

In front of him stood the dark lord, Narcissa and Bellatrix. The lunatic witch was knelt over a woman and carved the infamous slur ‘mudlood’ on her pale flesh. Shrill screams and cries echoed through the room and resonated across as Severus watched with his emotionless mask on. 

His eyes widened by seeing who the woman was. 

“Ah just in time Severus.”

Said the dark lord as they all turned his attention to him. 

“The woman has been obliviated so she forgets her past and herself. You know what to do. You shall have your privacy. Lucius and Narcissa will be around if you must need anything.”

With that the 4 of them left of the room. Leaving Severus alone with the woman who was sobbing profusely. 

“What are you going to do to me?”

She whimpered and stared up at Severus. 

“I don’t want to hurt you. But I need your help for that. His orders are for me to impregnate you. But I cannot do that. There is another way.”

She stared at him with an unfathomable expression. Of course, who would want to bear the child of a filthy man like him. It was understandable. 

“Are you not one of them?”

“I am. I cannot reveal anymore to you. I will try my best to create a potion which will not need us to do the deed, but will get you to bear a child.” 

“You must not disclose this to anyone.”

With that Severus walked away to a corner of the room and pulled out a small leather pouch from his pocket and enlarged it. 

It was a cauldron and several bottles and viles of ingredients. And with that he got to work and began brewing while the woman silently stared at him with respect. 

***

After hours of work over the cauldron, Severus looked at the woman to see she was asleep on the floor. That was when he realized how long he had taken. He took slow steps towards her and gently shook her awake. Her eyes flew open as she realized where she was and bolted up. 

“I’m sorry, I was tired.”

“The potion is ready. Would you like taking it now or at another time?”

“I’ll take it now.”

With a quick nod he walked to the steaming cauldron and dropped in a few drops of his blood in the  potion after making a small cut with a kitchen knife. The potion boiled and turned a deep shade of crimson. 

After pouring the liquid into a narrow small vile, he handed to the woman who stood opposite him. 

“Will it work?”

“It will.”

She brought the vile to her lips and emptied it’s contents. Will a relieved expression she faced Severus and said.

“Thank you very much”

He averted his eyes and nodded. 

“Anything for you Lily”

The red haired woman in front of him look up at him and smiled warmly at him. Those green eyes that bore into his soul.
