The war was almost over, she knew what she needed to do and prayer he was still alive and it could be done. Jumping, twisting, rolling to bypass all the curses being thrown her way and fighting back her own as fast as lightening. Diving behind a tree, she pulls off her robes and her Hufflepuff tie and pulling her black hair into a messy bun on the top of her head. Taking a deep breath and praying to every deity she could think of that it wasn't too late, she looked down at her wand and whispered "point me."
She ran across the grounds of Hogwarts using the luminous flashes of spells to see the way, she launched towards the whomping willow tree, jumping over branches that attacked out at her and diving into the hole at the base of the tree.
"Ok Juliet, we got this, we aren't too late. We can't be." She muttered to herself as she crawled through the dirty passage way and quietly pushed open the trap door. She could see a light coming from the other room and voices quietly speaking
"Fetch me Snape, I need to speak with him now." A dark shadow of a person called out in a raspy voice. Juliet jumped behind a scratched up broken chair as three men in masks ran from the room to find him.
"Thank merlin, I'm not too late." She thought as she casted a disillusion charm on herself and sat down to wait for Professor Snape to appear, for he was her only chance to set everything right. As he walked into the room the dark shadow turned around. Sickly white skin, bright red eyes, slits for a nose. He reminded Juliet of a demon she once read about in a muggle book.
"Why doesn't it work for me severus?"
"My my lord?" said Snape blankly. Although to the normal eyes he seemed calm and unafraid, Juliet knew differently, she knew his mind was going a mile a minute trying to figure a way out of the situation and how to get to her. "I do not understand my lord. You have performed extraordinary magic with that want."
"NO!" said Voldemort. "I have performed my usual magic. I am extraordinary. But this want…no. it has not revealed the wonders it has promised. I feel no difference between this wand and the one I procured from Ollivander all those years ago." Juliet looked away, trying to think of something she could do to help Snape without getting herself killed in the process. As she turned her head, she noticed another set of eyes watching the scene between her.
"Why are they here? That idiot doesn't he know this is the most dangerous place for him to be at this moment" she thought as she watched Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger watching from the trap door.
"I have thought long and hard, Severus…Do you know why I have called you back from battle?" Juliet noticed the Professors eyes glance towards the huge coiling snake in its enchanted cage. She knew right then that Voldemort wasn't going to let him live.
"I'm too late, I'm too late, I'm too late," she thought as she watched the snake bite Snape's neck and Voldemort leave. Lost in her melt down she didn't even notice that Harry had gone over to Snape until they were leaving back through the trap door and Snape's eyes were closed. "Bloody hell what am I going to do now" she thought out loud and she rushed over to the only person she has been able to count on through the years. Trying not to cry she reached down and touched his face.
"I didn't think you would make it." His sweet baritone voice whispered
"Of course I'm here, you must know a way to stop the venom. Tell me what to do" she trembled out trying not to cry. He looked up into her sky blue eyes and pulled a bottle from his pocket.
"Too late for that. You know what to do. Now go, save us all and once you get there don't forget about me." He said with his last breath as she took the bottle from his hand.
"I'll never forget, ever, you are my best friend." She said as she downed the bottle and felt the world turn back.
