Chapter 4: Cut to the Chase
The worst thing about my life, by far is being milked by Rat-Boy. He's got these cold little fingers, and while how cold his fingers are have nothing to do with it, it makes having venom sucked out my fangs all the more unbearable. However in order to allow me to keep the castle as my home I must be milked, however this never meant I had to come willingly.
"Come back Nagini!" Wormtail shouts after my retreating slithers. I hear a squeak as he changes into a rat. He really is stupid. Then I hear the swish of robes. Tom's following to be in on the amusement. How lovely. I race down the first hallway, wondering what in the world possessed me to shout retreat. After years of doing this you'd think I'd figured out that it doesn't help me. I hit my tail as I make a sharp turn into another hallway. The squeaking rodent is still following me.
This hallway is toward the front, and there for more cluttered. I swerve a table, slither under a chair, and listen to the screams when some poor Death Eater accidentally stepped on Rat-Boy. I feel no pity. I see my chance ahead of me, a set of stairs. I curl behind a statue when Rat-Boy runs right past me. I resist the urge to snort when he stops at the top of the stairs and sniffs. Somewhere along the line we seemed to have lost Tom.
I slither slowly and quietly to him. Then I snap on his tail. A squeak and the rat is off again. I let the adrenaline run as I chase through the hallways after Rat-Boy. He leads me through the crowded halls. I hear scream and jump as female Death Eaters get out of the way. I hiss a chuckle at them. One of them screams a spell at me, but sadly enough for her, I quickly doge the spell. As we reach another stair I can see the small rat's stamina slowing. I head in, straight for the kill. Then Rat-Boy falls down the stairs. I bring my tail up alongside me and allow myself to fall. I turn just as I expected. The foolish rat runs, runs right into my mouth.
"Nagini let him go." I hear as I slither up the stairs. Tom seems to have caught up and is now glaring at me. I shake my head firmly, noticing that Rat-Boy's tail is outside of my mouth.
"Nagini." He says warningly. I glare at him and shake my head again. I try to continue to slither up, but one of his spells shrinks the hallway to bar my path.
"Spit it out." He practically hisses. I sense that I'm not going to be able to eat him this time. I give a disgusted look and spit the thing out. Out right onto Tom's face. I use the distraction to run away.
"RUN AWAY!" I shout after me, slithering as fast as I can to the dungeons.
"SEVERUS, YOU HAVE TO HELP…OWWWW!" I shout again after ramming my head into a cement desk. Severus looks down at me as I roll my head trying to get rid of the little rats racing around my head.
"Milking time?" he asks me. I nod. He picks me up and wraps my coils around a jar holding some pencils. I take the time to settle down and catch my breath.
"He's going to find you, you know." Severus says. I nod. I do have an IQ. He sets a vial down in front of me.
"Make yourself useful." He says. I glare but dunk my head in to take a sip. I feel a weird tingling sensation, then a biting, and then pain.
"OWWWWW, WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THIS STUFF!" I shout. Severus stares at me. I look at him.
"What?" I demand. He shakes his head, still staring at me.
"WHAT!TELL ME!" I practically howl. He covers my mouth with his hand.
"Shut-up will you." he says. Then he grabs me and stuffs me in his bag. It's the bag with the spell on it to allow it to carry anything. Then he stuffs in a much of vials, test tubes, and other junk. I huff, where is he taking me!
A/N: Okay folks. This is short becuase I'm promising that I'll update tomorrow. Of course I'll be out of town this weekend so you won't get anything then. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR REVIEWING!
Feakmonkey: I'm not up to the squel yet and even then I shall resist temptation. Seriously. However thanks for the incouragment. (Don't worry, you're not the only one who can't spell)
fledge- You're not supposed to feel sorry for Bella. She's evil! Harry turns up at the end of next chapter. And this is as close as she gets to eating Wormtail. Sorry folks.
comettail- hehe.
