snake language parsel-whatever, I can't remember how to spell it

If he was going to be surprised any more, hell might as well freeze over too. Almost at the same time, the "dead" men started to sit up and hold their heads as if waking from a hangover.

Looking around, some were trying to figure out what hit them. As they started to get up, Snape and his pet moved back to Voldie. Snape didn't even try to apologize, he didn't say anything at all, just watching in as much awe as the dark lord at them men getting up.

Immensely pleased with himself, Zion decided to curl around Snape's feet while waiting for the Death Eaters to get back in formation.

They moved slow and jerkily, as if waiting for an attack to come out of nowhere. Not one took notice of Zion sitting at Snape's feet or that he was standing in Lucius' spot next to their Lord. They were all watching Voldie to see what his reaction was. Yet, he was silently staring at Zion, who was staring right back.

Their fear that had permeated the room was thick enough to cut, the tension was just as bad. All wondering what the dark Lord would do to them. Seeing as he hadn't panicked, it must have been some type of test, right?

Tom had been trying his occulmency shields for the past few minutes. He wasn't fooled, he probably detected the botched spell the instant he saw him. Figuring he was an animagus wouldn't be that hard. What had thrown him for a loop was how much Sev trusts him. He practically radiates happiness when around Zion. The one emotion Harry never knew was even possible from the anti-social rock that was his potions professor. He was easily blocking Tom's attempts to get into his mind, but he had to focus. His shield was made from the dark shadows of his horrid luck and being with his "family" over the summer. Drawing all his dark and depressing thoughts into a purpose he found made a field of shadows that cloaked his thoughts. Best thing was not even Dumbledore could get through it. So there was no problem avoiding dark lords trying to enter his mind.

Wanting to try something new, he looked away and stared at Sev until he looked at him. When they made eye contact Zion decided to have some fun.

-Knock knock- mentally he lightly banged on Sev's shield. Shock was quite apparent on Sev's face, yet he opened the shield briefly to let Zion in. Slamming the shield shut to be sure Tom didn't get in. Snape had a small glade set up, lots of trees to hide in. Speaking of the git, he was hiding in one of said trees. Not even realizing his own form, he jumped up to meet him. Paws digging into the bark he found a large branch to lounge on.

Ok, what do you want? Snape sounded offended. He probably figured out the same as Tom, that he was an animagus if he was talking like this to his "pet."

-sigh can't the sarcasm wait until later. I'll tell you who I am after we go Home, but for now, I rather like staying alive and in one piece. So if you wouldn't mind, can you convince you magnificently evil dark lord to stop trying to get past my shields. It is not appreciated and not going to work.- With that his tail flicked with agitation and he withdrew from Sev's mind.

In the real world, all the Death Eaters had gone and Tom was once again spent the time staring at the two of them who were obviously conversing. Curiosity was the only guess to describe the look on his face.

Clearing his throat, he looked expectantly at Snape.

Now the challenge. What would Sev do? Would Sev tell him what he said? That he was an animagus, a spy? Would he turn and kill him? All those questions and more passed through his mind and more. The only sign of worry and agitation was his tail flicking around nervously.

A/N: I hate cliff hangers, yet that's all I can seem to write ;; I'm also uploading another story that has nothing to do with furry, but I'll load it at the same time as this one. So that's the delay. That and I'm having trouble with the internet at home and all the security hacks to get past the school security system to get to FF.N are all crap. I'm trying, it's just gonna be a slow ride. Sorry…
