Chapter 23
(972 words)
Your POV
Finding Harry, Ron, and Hermione just as the sixth Horcrux is destroyed, along with the Room of Requirement I look at them.
"What did I miss?"
"Where have you been?"
Shaking my head I sigh. "I've been busy."
Looking at Harry as he pants slightly.
"It's the snake. She's the last one, it's the last Horcrux."
Ron kneels down to talk to Harry as Hermione and I look at each other for a moment.
"Look inside him, Harry. Find out where he is, if we find him we can find the snake. Then we can end this."
Closing his eyes, Harry looks inside to see if he can find where Voldemort is hiding with Nagini. He opens his eyes and looks at us.
"I know where he is,"
Getting him off the floor we run to the boat house. Getting passed a giant troll in the courtyard and passed some spiders, we were able to get to the bridge. Dementors coming up the bridge to get inside of the building. Dumbledore's brother showing up just in time to fend them off. Giving us time to get down to the boat house. My heart pounding in my chest. Hoping Severus was alright. Getting into the boathouse, I heard him, it was Snape.
"You have performed extraordinary magic with this wand, my Lord. In the last few hours alone."
Voldemort stops him as he gets closer to Snape. Nagini at his side.
"No, I am extraordinary but the wand resists me."
"There is no wand more powerful. Ollivander himself has said it. Tonight, when the boy comes, it will not fail you. I am sure of it. It answers to you, and you only."
"Does it? "
"My Lord? "
"The wand, does it truly answer to me? You're a clever man, Severus. Surely you must know. Where does its true loyalty lie? "
"With you of course, my Lord."
"The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Dumbledore, Severus. While you live the Elder Wand cannot truly be mine."
His shoulders fall as he knows what's going to happen. I try to jump out and get Voldemort's attention, but I get caught by the other three. Fighting to get them off of me, Hermione covers my mouth.
"You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus. But only I can live forever."
"My Lord-"
With a quick slash of his hand at Snape, Voldemort was able to slice a large enough gash in Snape's neck to make him falter slightly. Severus falls against the window that we were on the other side of. Hearing a faint 'Nagini kill' before the large python started to strike at Snape.
Busting into the door of the boathouse, I'm met with the scene I heard on the other side of the window.
"You no-nose having son of a bitch-"
Before I could finish my sentence, he raises his wand to give me the same fate, only for Harry to barely block it in time.
"You dare speak to me that way child?"
"Oh I've got a lot more than that."
"Sectumsempura!"
Waving my wand at him, he and Nagini vanished, the spell hitting the wall behind me. Turning to look at Snape as he looked up at me.
Getting on my knees with him, I put my hand over his neck as I look at Harry. "We have to do something, enough people are dying tonight."
"You know what he did-"
"I don't care!" Sighing slightly I look at Harry. "You three chase him down, I'll stay here with Snape."
Snape grabs my hand slightly as I look at him. A few tears falling from his eyes as he looks at me. "Take them."
Nodding gently, I grab a vial and scoop the tears and give them to Harry. "Take them to the pansieve."
Grabbing a couple of things from my bag as I listen to Snape talk to Harry.
"You have your mother's eyes."
Looking at Snape I grab his arm. He turns to look at me and gives a slight smile for a moment.
"Voldemort wants me to go to the Forbidden Forest, to face him or he'll kill everyone that tries to hide me."
"Then go!"
They left to go back to the castle, I could feel Snape getting weaker. "Hold on, I might have an idea."
Holding up a small vial of what looked like water I gulp slightly. Opening it I pour it onto his wound as he goes limp, a sigh leaving his body in the process.
"Severus, no no no no. Come on, you need to wake up. You can't do this please, I love you"
Pulling him closer to me as I hold him in my arms, my own tears falling now. My nails dig into his robes as I lay my head on top of his, rocking slightly. Crying loudly before I hear a gasp that wasn't mine. Feeling a hand grab my arm I look down after jumping slightly.
Looking down as I sniff I see his dark eyes looking at me. "Severus! You-you were." he raises a hand to me slightly as he does his best to sit up. My hands on his chest as he looks at me for a moment. Looking around for a second his mouth opening slightly.
"They went back to the castle. I told them to leave us here, they have things to do."
Putting a hand on mine he looks at me. Before he could say anything I stopped him. "We need to get you back to the castle, Madam Pomfrey needs to make sure you're all right." Helping him stand we make our way towards the castle.
