~ Not Snake Food ~
Nagini pokes her head over Voldemort's shoulder to look at the squirming creature in his arms.
Food? the snake hisses questioningly.
"No," he snaps, cradling the bundle against his chest protectively. "You can't eat the baby."
Oh, that's your offspring? It doesn't look much like a human...
"Oh, look, Nagini likes the baby," Bellatrix says. "How cute!"
The Dark Lord has never heard his mistress refer to anything as "cute" before and is slightly disturbed by this pronouncement, until he remembers that pregnancy alters a woman's brain chemistry to keep her from killing her child.
