Deceiver of Fools
Severus Snape/Lord Voldemort, General (K-T)
I school my shaking hands as I don these robes I hate so much.
I don't want to go.
I never want to go.
But if I don't go, I will be punished by the one I have no choice but to forever address as the Dark Lord. And I will be useless to the Order.
So I go.
It's more rabble about how muggles are the spawn of the devil and crap like that. Everyone here is desperate to believe in what he says, wanting to believe they really are superior.
They are his pawns. I am also a pawn, but I am a pawn who is not fooled.
They kneel at his feet, kiss his robes…mumble their love to him.
He expects the same of me.
I fight down my feelings of humiliation and get on my knees, kissing his disgusting feet.
He doesn't suspect I am a traitor of his cause. He doesn't guess that my loyalties belong to Albus Dumbledore.
I see you for what you are.
You are just a man.
You are not powerful. You are not special.
Your lineage means nothing to the world. It means nothing to me. It means nothing to the Order.
A man can only ever be a man.
Embrace your pitiful existence like the rest of us.
But he won't. And everyone here will be deceived willingly because they want to believe his false promises.
I wish I could have nothing to do with them.
But I will deceive you as long as you deceive us.
