Chapter Two: Severus Snape
Severus is back. It's time to go bug my favorite Death Eater. No really, he is my favorite Death Eater. He's the only one that tries to understand what I'm saying. It is a lot like a one sided conversation, but I thinks he understands more then he lets on. He's just that kid of guy. So since Tom's off gallivanting with the Blonde Ego, I'll just go bug Severus.
I slither down the hallways, fall down the stairs, he needs to get ramps down here, and crawl up the table legs to perch on Severus's potion making table. Something is brewing. Whatever it is, it smells.
"Your potion stinks." I tell him. He scratches his chin and stares at me. Then he sees my tail pointing at the potion.
"Yes, yes it does." He agrees. I nod my head. He's learning. See why I like this guy. The fact that he looks like Tom has nothing to do with it. I mean how could someone mistake their black heads or eyes or noses, or. Okay, I admit, maybe I am partial to him because of Tom. But he is a nice guy to hang out with. I coil up with my tail and head sticking out and watch him.
"I tried to eat Rat-Boy today. Tom wasn't very pleased. I think he's mad at me. Do you think he'd like a present of rats?" Severus raises an eyebrow as he tosses something into the potion.
"I don't speak snake Nagini."
"So make a potion that allows you to retard." I hiss angrily.
"Don't be a smart-ass Nagini." I stick out my forked tongue. It doesn't give me the same satisfaction as it gives Tom. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I'm a snake and he isn't.
"What are you prodding over? Voldemort again?" Severus acts. He leans on the counter, letting me rest in his shadow, but seeing as there's little light, it's only a sign of how much he cares. I nod. Severus scratches my head.
Severus was my first friend when I first met all the Death Eaters. I hung out in his potion chamber while Tom was having private meetings. My time as Tom's host had taught me to understand the human language, but Severus was the only one that tried to use my body language and my pointed tail to figure out what I wanted to say. He never really fit in with other Death Eaters, but I was glad he was there. Even if he was a spy. Oh, I knew that part too. I just decided to forget this when I talk to Tom. It makes live more bearable.
"There's Voldemort." Severus says. I recognized the flow of vibrating power as that of someone apperating in, but I didn't know who it was. I slither up to the main entrance. But that isn't Tom waiting to greet me. I don't know who those people are.
"Where is he?" someone mutters. Where's who? Then I get it, they're Order members. I run over options in my head. I know that Severus is here, but I know that the others aren't. Oh this will be fun a horde of angry Order members against a snake and an undercover Order member. Great. Then someone spots me.
"Where's Voldemort?" The boy hisses in my speak.
"And I'm going to tell you why?" I ask. The boy steps back. Guess he wasn't expecting a sass filled snake. It seems he's not the only one. I soon find myself with the entire horde's wands pointed at me. Severus runs up the stairs.
"Leave Nagini alone, she hasn't done anything." Severus says in my defense.
"Thank you." I say. The boy looks at me funny again.
"And this isn't the time. Voldemort isn't here." Severus says. Then his demeanor changes. He seems tired. I crawl up his leg hoping to comfort him.
"There was a change in plans." He says and walks down the stairs. I slide off and hiss warnings to the Order members. As they apperate out, I think I should tell Tom we need to get some defenses on the whole apperating thing.
Later that Night
"Anything interesting happen?" Tom asks me as I curl around the foot of the chair. Content by the fire I shake my head. I think I need to get my priorities straight. I have an affair with this guy, in my head perhaps, yet I can't tell on the spy in his midst because they look similar. I truly am messed up.
A/N: I wasn't going to continue it, so that's why this chapter sucks. I'm also a bit depressed at the moment. However, if you all still want more then I'll post it. And if anyone knows where i should next. I NEED YOUR HELP!
comettail- Umm, I don't think so. Nagini's a girl...THANKS FOR REVIEWING!
The great KillerChicken- It was not left hanging, it just wasn't all there.
fledge- Umm, thank you. I wasn't intending to(which will explain why my chapters are going to go downhill from now) but I'll try.
