5. Lord Voldemort
Come back, Lily. All is forgiven.
Severus had heard that there were certain initiation rites all prospective Death Eaters had to go through if they wanted to serve the Dark Lord, but he was certain it would pose no difficulty at all. Severus would have sacrificed almost anything to be given access to the power he sought.
He had underestimated how little Lord Voldemort now resembled the handsome young man he had once been.
It would have been easier to give himself to the illegitimate love child of a Mountain Troll and a flobberworm...and certainly more arousing.
He excused himself briefly, swallowed the tasteless draught, then offered Voldemort a glass of wine.
Thankfully, the Dark Lord accepted Severus's offering
6. Regulus Black
Severus was almost ready to believe that Regulus might have agreed to their...arrangement without the Potion.
Before he had the chance to ask, Regulus Black had been killed.
7. Remus Lupin
Fourteen years passed.
Lupin was available, reasonably fit, and dammit, he owed something to Severus for the hours Severus spent brewing the bloody Wolfsbane.
That's all it was.
Payment in kind.
8. Draco Malfoy
Draco looked just like Lucius had done, all those years ago, but there was no pain.
His skin was as soft as Lily Evans' had been.
He had been interested, Severus was all but certain, before being given the potion.
And he owed Severus.
That was certain.
9. His Right Hand
When Draco left, as Severus had always suspected he would someday, Severus didn't think twice.
He drank the last dose of the Love Potion that would ever work for him, then poured an equivalent amount on his right hand, and lay back against his pillow.
