"Nagini, dinner," Voldermort cooed at his pet. He ran his long fingers over the long body of the python as it moved down the long table towards the lifeless body of what was Professor Burbidge. Severus eyed the rather dangerous snake is it creped slowly closer to the body, suppressing a shudder at the thought of what was about to happen to his former coworker. Nagini's mouth opened wide and just before reaching the head, the snake wrapped around and let out a low hiss that sounded distinctly like his – lover?
Where the python once lay now sat an amused looking Harry in its place. Every set of eyes now focused on the boy-who-lived sitting amongst the den of powerful Death Eaters. Harry simply smiled and dug out a small piece of dirt from under his fingernail.
"Weren't expecting to see me, where you Tom?" Harry asked whimsically. "I would rather finish this sooner rather than later so I can continue on with my life, if you don't mind."
"That confident that you can win this, Potter? You have no one else here as back up to help you amongst a table of Death Eaters," Voldermort commented, looking around the dim lit room. Severus slinked out of his chair and stepped behind the Dark Lord, bending low so his breath passed by his ear.
"He does have one person on his team, Tom and I do not plan on letting my lover die at your hand. Not tonight," Severus whispered, venom hanging on every word. "I do have plans on marrying this idiot."
A/N: This was inspired after watching the opening credits to Deathly Hallows part one.
