NEWS: I am heading off to Austrailia on 4/20 returning 5/4. I don't know if I can update there. I am not abandoning the fic, just going halfway across the globe. :)
Title: The Trap Sprung
Severus set a formidable ward across the library entry, the magic so concentrated it shimmered in places.
"Very lovely, it reminds me of the veil," complemented Death.
"It is a sticking ward, it functions similarly to a spider web," replied Snape in his mind.
Several minutes passed and Death started asking questions, again. "You believe Crookshanks is involved?"
"I am certain of it," Snape's mind hissed in response.
"But you have doubts?"
"I don't doubt. I have theories," snapped Severus.
A sharp feminine alarm shattered the silence as the ward quivered with its quarry as several books hit the floor.
