A/N: I've taken a long time to make a fic with Harry Potter characters, because I couldn't imagine some really interesting situation to write. But, the other day, I had an idea about Snape in the coldest form of spy who plays at both sides.
Winter in the Forbidden Forest.
I'm ambushed at the top of a tree. My black robe covers me entirely, camouflages me, hides me from the poor vision that someone may have thanks to the help of the soft moonlight.
I brake an ice stalactite, and take it to my mouth, so he won't see my breath.
The tip of the wand resting on one of the tree knots. I don't tremble.
At about eighty meters from me, you, Lucius, walk slowly through the woods, sneaking through the shadows. At some moments, your hood slides, and I can see your eyes.
A mission so simple.
Get into Hogwarts lands, and forge a portkey beyond the anti-apparition walls. Really simple, but with a small flaw... Draco.
For seven years I've molded him, I've taken care of him. And now, he's loyal to me.
How would you feel if you knew that it was your son who betrayed your plans to the Order?
Nevertheless, Draco still loves you. That's why he came to me, so that you won't pass the rest of your life in Azkaban. So you won't suffer the humiliations of a trial.
You don't notice me, but you're cautious. I can see your hesitation in going ahead. Just one more step, Lucius.
I aim between your eyes... and my hand doesn't shake. Avada Kedavra.
Twenty years ago...
"We did it really well!"
"Well?! Veritaserum would have catalyzed because of the quantity of lies I told Narcisa's parents about you!"
"Why, Severus... A small price to pay for the honor of being my best man."
"Lucius, it's you who should pay me."
"I wouldn't dare to offend you this way."
At each step towards redemption, weigh more upon me the fetters of hell.
