AN: WOOHOO I'VE BEEN EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU'VE READ DEATHLY HALLOWS YOU'LL PROBABLY CRY. IF NOT, YOU'LL LAUGH. PLEASE, READ DH. BEST BOOK EVER.
MY FAVORITE SCENE IN ALL OF THE MOVIES WAS IN DH P2, AFTER HARRY WATCHES SNAPE'S MEMORIES AND HE WALKS OUT. AND HE SAYS THAT HE HAS TO GO TO THE FOREST AND HERMIONE SAYS, "I'LL GO WITH YOU." IT MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH BECAUSE EMMA IS A FANTASTIC ACTRESS AND I LOVE HER TO DEATH. PM ME AND TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAVORITE SCENE IS. I LOVE GETTING MESSAGES FROM MY DEVOTED READERS AND REVIEWERS. STARTING NOW, MY THIRTEENTH REVIEWER WILL HELP ME DECIDE SOMETHING SMALL AND I WILL GIVE YOU SOME SPOILERS. SORRY FOR THE LONG A/N, I'M JUST BLABBING MY HEAD OFF.
Chapter 14
"Severus, I assigned you a duty and you failed to complete it," the Dark Lord hissed, placing a cold hand on Nagini's emerald green skin.
"My lord, I was waiting for the perfect time to complete the mission,"
"Now, this is the story I have been told. But whether I believe it or not, I'm not quite sure. Why have you been waiting to kill Dumbledore?"
"I have not been waiting to murder him. I have vowed to catch him off guard," Snape said thickly as Voldemort began to circle him.
"And I would believe you. If you hadn't been living in Dumbledore's pocket all these years."
"My lord, I have sworn to you that my devotion lies in the Dark Lord, and only him."
"Severus, I wish dearly to believe you. But you know very well that my servants will not live forever. Only I can," Voldemort said gently, circling the accused victim. Snape had been a good and faithful servant, or so he had thought.
"My lord, I swear that I am devoted to you. Only you. Dumbledore is nothing but a common enemy to me," Snape said, trailing off toward the end of the sentence. He stared off into the distance, and he felt the shearing pain inside of him, looking into the man's crimson eyes
"I'm sure, Severus. I know that you are a double agent. I've known for a while, now, actually. It's quite humorous that you thought I would believe you. After all this time, you've been in the Order of the Phoenix. Don't try to lie to me, Severus. I am no fool."
"My lord—"
"Don't call me your lord, Severus Snape. I know who your real lord is. Your grave can be placed right next to his, if you wish," he hissed.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort said, casting the spell right at his old servant.
Snape clutched his heart right before the curse hit him. "Lily."
Severus's body dropped to the ground of the Shrieking Shack. He hit the wood flooring, hand draped delicately over his heart, his last word remaining there for as long as eternity would live on. His love for her was infinite, and he would spend his last seconds protecting his love's son. It didn't matter what the Dark Lord knew anymore. It was Lily that mattered to him.
Voldemort looked down upon the man gently, placing his wand back in his robes delicately. "Nobody will make a fool of Lord Voldemort."
He stepped over the body, exiting the Shack with a graceful finality.
