1. Destroying Voldemort's Immortality

Severus turned and looked at his lover lying asleep on the bed. He closed his eyes in silent prayer; before he got himself dressed and quickly and quietly cleaned up the wine bottle and glasses. He placed a letter on the dresser. Leaving his lover in bed he left the bedroom, collected the items he needed and apparated out with a resolution on his mind and he was determined to fulfill it. "This is for you, my love."

Gulping as he walked up the driveway of an old and decrepit mansion, the tall and intimidating man strode inside. His second master was waiting inside, along with most of the death eaters. He bowed to the snake-like man and then went to his place among the ranks. The snake-like man if he can be called that stood from his throne and his malice was clearly felt. Severus did not think that Voldemort could be called even human, he had no nose and his ruby red eyes stuck out against his sickly, sallow skin and thin frame. His manner was not altogether human either, the goals he set and the prices he demanded for failure were extreme and bloodthirsty.

"My loyal followerss," the dark lord hissed, a shudder of revulsion tried to fight its way through Severus' defences but was ruthlessly squashed. He could see others that could not hide their feelings and pitied them, life among under the dark lord's forces were harsh to those who could not mask what they felt and even to those who could. Voldemort hated the weak and to him showing emotions was a sign of weakness. He went on, "It sseemss we have a ssspy amongsst our rankss," his voice became more snake like as he got angrier. Severus almost started in shock, but years of practice kept his body still. "I did not think he would find out so soon," the snake turned to face a figure that would be like all the rest, if it were not for the long silver-blond hair. Lucius Malfoy bowed to his lord and kissed the hem of his robes, as it was Malfoy even if his face was covered up; only a Malfoy had hair like that. "Explain what you found Luciusss," the blond bowed again, Severus wrinkled his nose in disgust at the subservience shown. "Thank god Draconis grew a brain and left before he got the mark,"

"My Lord, through my contacts I have discovered that someone here has been consorting with the enemy and passing along vital information, that spy is none other than Severus Snape!" Gasps were heard throughout the hall, Severus on the other hand was ready for such an accusation, as soon as the first syllable of his name was spoken he drew his wand. Voldemort spun to face the place where his now former potions master stood, defiance clear in his stance. Voldemort sent a blasting curse towards him and was surprised Snape let it hit him, however the only thing that was blasted was the silver mask that kept his identity secret.

"Ssseverusss, how could you?" Snape sneered at the fake lord,

"I was never your little follower, you are just a psychotic, melodramatic hypocrite whose daddy didn't love him. Really how pathetic can you get?" he drawled with false bravado. He laughed mentally when he saw Voldemort hiss but put up his hand to stop him from talking, "Not to mention, Horcruxes? Are you really so weak?" he heard stifled gasps ring throughout the room, not even the most desperate of them would make one horcrux let alone multiples! Even Bellatrix wasn't that stupid.

Severus turned towards Malfoy and smirked. "Still sore that your son doesn't want anything to do with you? That he doesn't even consider you and Narcissa his parents." Lucius glared at the potions master. It was well known throughout certain circles that Draco hated his parents and preferred to live with his girlfriend and her parents, his muggleborn girlfriend. Lucius Malfoy's reputation was shot when the majority of the old pureblood families found out that the Malfoy heir and Hermione Granger were dating and after their graduation that the two were engaged. Lucius was still spitting blood over it, especially when Draco had announced that he thought of Severus as a father. That really pissed the elder Malfoy off.

Severus on the other was delighted when he discovered the relationship and helped his godson hide it from his father. He should have known Lucius would attempt to get revenge. He was pulled out of his thoughts by the Malfoy's spluttering,

"Malfoy, shut up. I will talk to you about your wayward ssson later, right now we have a traitor to deal with," the snake dude pulled his wand on an impassionate Snape, "Crucio," the spell hit its mark and Severus bit his lip to stop himself screaming. Voldemort kept the curse up for near a minute and most of the death eaters were shocked that the traitor was still standing. "Shit, that was painful. Don't want to get hit with that again." he decided to finish what he came for, before he was totured again. He got his breath and faced Voldemort his determination clear on his face. The Dark Lord stared at his former follower wondering what he was up, unlike his death eaters he knew why Severus could still stand after the Cruciatus. He was an Occlumens and a strong one at that, even Voldemort would have trouble getting through the potions master's defences. It was that skill that helped him withstand the curse.

"What do you think you can do Sssnape? Your sssituation is hopelesss, not only are you outnumbered but you are alsso outpowered," he was infuriated when Severus chuckled,

"Tut, tut Tom, did you really think I was stupid enough to come without a plan? Unlike yourself, living forever isn't exactly what I want and I am content to know that what I am going to do will piss you off and make a number of people happy," and without further adieu he opened up his cloak and showed the hall just what was attached, there was four things he had. One was a locket with the Slytherin crest, another was Ravenclaw's diadem the one that had been thought lost, the third was a goblet with the Hufflepuff crest and the last was a gold ring with a black stone set in the middle. Voldemort gasped when he realised the importance of each item, his Horcruxes.

"How did you get thosse? They were hidden!" Severus just smirked as he raised his wand toward the snake that rested at his former Master's feet,

"Accio Nagini!" the snake flew to where Severus stood and before she could attack, she was stunned. That jolted Voldemort and his followers into action, a flurry of spells was sent towards his direction. A shield came up and bore that brunt of the attack, the shield itself looked of iron and was similar to the medieval shield; the spells left dents all over it but it was somehow still standing. Severus cancelled the spell as he saw the surprised faces of his former colleagues. They were still very surprised when they curses hit the shield and didn't go through, it seemed that Snape had found a way to stop the unforgivables. Voldemort was the first to shake the shock and sneered at Severus,

"Well it ssseemss you have ssome ssurprissess up your ssleeve," his eyes glowed with power and anger as Severus dumped his horcruxes in a pile. The snake look alike hadn't moved so fast in years as when he saw Severus raise his wand to the pile of artifacts and Nagini, "No!"

"Fiendefire!" Severus lit the items on fire and the smell of burning snake could also be found, Voldemort screamed in pain as bits of his soul burned and were destroyed. This was the reason that Severus hadn't destroyed them before; it was much more painful if the bits of soul were near each other when part of it was killed. His plan was to weaken Voldemort so that Harry could kill the bastard. It was discovered through old research journals that it took a very long time to recover from losing parts of your soul. "Now the only one left is Harry's scar and I've given him a potion to remove it." He smiled as the items were cleansed and he was the only one not surprised when the founder's belongings and the stone from the ring were left in tact. Even Tom could not integrate his soul so far into the enchantments placed on each of the four items, so that they were completely tied with the soul. The goblet, diadem and locket had enchantments on them that the founders had placed and the stone, well Severus knew the reason it survived even if Voldemort did not.

Voldemort shrieked in rage at Severus and hex after hex, curse after curse flew from his wand at the potions master. Severus dodged as many as he could but not even he could evade all of them. He got a cutting curse to the side and another to his left leg. His left arm was completely mangled by a combination of curses and that was only the tip of the iceberg. He kept giving as good as he got until he heard Aurors apparating outside; he was even happier to note a lot of the order of the Phoenix was there as well, he could tell by their voices who they were, Potter was there too. He was so wrapped up in what was occurring outside he forgot about the death eaters shooting spells and just as the door blew open and the red robes of the Aurors and the mismatched robes of the members of the Order stormed in a dark purple light slammed into to him and he flew backwards into the wall, unconscious and dying as the blood dripped down his face.
