Change (In the House of Flies), by Deftones
I've watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the lungs to
Blow me away
I've watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change.
Now you feel Alive
You Feel Alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
"Wait… is that it, Charlie?" asked Rory, spotting a large castle nestled in the Carpathian Mountains.
"Yep that would be it…" replied Charlie, signaling to the others that they were landing.
After landing, they each cast Notice-Me-Not charms on themselves and their worms.
"Are all of you ready?" asked Mundy.
"As ready as we'll ever be…"
They crept up to the castle, wands out to fend off attacks. The Notice-Me-Not charms should prevent any Death Eaters from noticing them, but they wanted to be prepared, just in case.
They followed one of the cloaked figures inside the castle and started to make their way downward.
"How far down do you think the dungeons will be?" George asked, of anyone who knew the answer.
"Probably a few flights of stairs, considering how large this place is," answered Vicious.
George groaned and Lilith said, "Think of it this way, at least we're going *down* instead of *up*…"
"Um, guys… maybe we should try to be quiet. The charms won't stop people from hearing us…"
Everyone clamped his or her mouths shut and walked in silence.
After thirty minutes Mundy whispered, "Shhhh… do you hear that?"
"Yeah… it sounds like screaming…"
The group all but ran in the direction that the screams were coming from.
"In here!"
They burst through a large, plain wooden door to find a naked Severus covered in dried blood chained to the wall.
"Eeeeeeeuuuugggghhhh… Daddy's naked…"
With a flick of her wand, Vicious had cleaned the blood off her husband, clothed him, and released him from his chains.
Mundy cast a Silencing Charm on his and threw the emaciated man over his shoulder as they ran out the door.
"Wait… we need to take of the Notice-Me-Nots, remember? This time we *want* to be found…"
As soon as the charms were removed, the group was finally on their way again.
"Well, George, this time we're going up… Wanna carry me?"
George snorted and put his arm around his girlfriend.
"Not a chance, babe."
When they were halfway back to ground level, Charlie stopped them and asked, "Ummm… why haven't we met any Death Eaters yet?"
"Hmmm… maybe he knows we're here and wants to give us a false sense of security?"
"Yeah… you're probably right Vicious…"
The rest of them shrugged their shoulders and continued up the stairs.
At ground level, they began looking around for Voldemort's throne room.
"If I were an ugly old evil wizard… where would my throne room be?"
"I suggest that you look through that door right there, Aurora," said a cold, high voice.
Rory spun around to see the tall, pasty, snake-like figure, and spat, "Oh, Moldy wart… how nice to see you."
"You will regret your words, you little brat. Now, be so kind as to step into my throne room with me."
The rescuers complied and walked inside a large, circular room filled with Death Eaters.
"Yes, this would be where they were while you were, ah… 'rescuing' your Potions Master," said Voldemort, seating himself on his throne.
"Now, I have cursed Severus here with the Five Points Requiem, and as you cannot kill me, I will enjoy watching him die," he continued as he removed the Silencing Charm from Severus.
His screams echoed through the hall, and Mundy was forced to set him on the ground.
"You know, Severus is a pathetic excuse for a man," said Voldemort, not seeing the change that was beginning to come over the Snape women.
//No Vicious… you cannot change! Think of your subjects!// Vicious chided herself, struggling to control her fury.
"He screamed with every crack of the whip and squealed like a pig when I, well you know what I did," Voldemort continued, laughing his high, cruel laugh.
"He begged for death like a pitiful, weak little squib."
"You lie!" screamed Vicious, her long golden hair gaining a red tinge.
"Calm yourself Vicious, you are beginning to look like a Weasley…"
All six rescuers glared at him.
"Um… Rory? Do we have a plan?" Charlie whispered.
"Nope," she replied.
"Shit…" said Charlie, with a grimace.
"You got it, cowboy…"
"You know, I would very much like to add three Snape women to my collection…"
Lilith and Rory snorted as the Dark Lord continued, almost cheerily.
"Of course, you do not have a choice. Now, let us all sit back and enjoy Severus' death!"
Lilith and Rory looked over at their father writhing and screaming in pain on the ground and were overcome with rage.
The sisters advanced on Voldemort, speaking in perfect unison.
"You bastard…"
Everyone gasped as the girls' hair turned bright flame red and curled into large, loose ringlets. Freckles suddenly appeared across their noses and cheeks and their eyes changed to the bright orbs of a cat. Their ears grew long and pointed and their noses and eyes slanted. Fangs crept out of their mouths and hung on their bottom lips, and large wings covered in dragon scales erupted from their backs. Blue streaks matching Rory's wings and eyes appeared in her hair, while the green of Lilith's wings and eyes appeared in hers. They continued advancing on the very frightened Dark Lord with evil grins on their faces.
"Well hell…" breathed Vicious, as she watched her daughters' true forms emerge. "I guess the secret is out."
