the snake who lied [1] | a nagini story

Chapter 13

 So much horror was taking place all at once. People screaming, fighting, curses flying around, begging for their life, kids tugging at their parents' clothes. A truly frigheting sight.

A truly enjoyable sight.

"What the hell is happening?" asked anxiously Fred, suddenly forgetting about his anger towards Davina.

"I think the Irish took the party too far." Answered Davina, pretending like she had no idea what was happening.

Fred turned his head in her direction in full annoyance. "Does this look like a goddamn party to you?"

Davina didn't get the chance to reply when spells started going around, sent by the terrified wizards. One of them flew so close to her head, that Fred took a hold of her arms and pushed her on the ground.

They both fell with a thud, laying on the ground next to each other closely.

"Did you just save me?" Said Davina, completely blown apart from his action

"No Davina I pushed you to have sex, what else was I supposed to do?" He replied with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"First of all, I know you want to have sex with me. Second of all, why did you save me?"

Now it was Fred's turn to be blown apart. "Did you want me to leave you there to die?" He was almost close to yelling, fully annoyed.

"Well I broke your heart, didn't I? Aren't you supposed to want me dead right now?"

"Look, I may not like you very much at the moment, but that doesn't mean I want your death." He said in a calmer tone, getting up and giving her his arm in a help offer.

She gratefully took it and steadied her balance on her feet. "Oh, ok."

Nagini thought that once you betray/hurt someone, then that individual deserves immediate punishment. This is how her father has teached her about the laws of human nature. She was so used to this mantra that it absolutely baffled her that not everyone thinks like this.

"There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Mr. Weasley cried while coming out the tent and making his way towards the 2 kids.

"Dad, what is going on?" Asked Fred in pure confusion.

"We suppose it's the Death Eaters. Come quick, you need to get out of here."

Out of the tent emerged a tired looking Harry, grumpy Ron and George, who upon seeing Davina and Fred together, sent a smirk towards his twin brother. Fred quickly threw him a look that probably told him everything he needed to know to stop staring.

"We're going to help the Ministry!" Mr. Weasley shouted over all the noise, rolling up his own sleeves. "You lot - get into the woods, and stick together. I'll come and fetch you when we've sorted this out!"

Bill, Charlie, and Percy were already sprinting away toward the oncoming marchers; Mr. Weasley tore after them.

Not so far away, Davina could make out the Ministry workers fighting and defending themselves against other wizards who were marching in a tight pack, with their wands shooting upwards. Squinting her eyes, she noticed that the men wore masks and their heads were hooded...and Merlin didn't she recognize them. During her past life, she used to meet up with them while Lord Voldemort was entertaining a meet. Of course, every single one of the Death Eaters were frightened of her sight, but also felt puzzled, not quite sure what her role next to the Dark Lord's right was.

More wizards were joining the marching group, laughing and pointing up at the floating bodies. Tents crumpled and fell as the marching crowd swelled. Once or twice Davina saw one of the marchers blast a tent out of his way with his wand. Several caught fire. The screaming grew louder. She knew what they're goal was today – scaring the living hell out of the Muggles. Turning her head in Hermione's direction, Nagini thought about one thing: Death Eaters shall die if they touch her.

"That's sick," Ron muttered, watching the smallest Muggle child, who had begun to spin like a top, sixty feet above the ground, his head flopping limply from side to side. "That is really sick...."

"No shit Ronnychicks, I thought this was Mr. Roberts birthday party." Hissed Davina which made Ron frown and pout.

"C'mon," said Fred, grabbing Ginny's hand and starting to pull her toward the wood. Harry, Ron, Davina, Hermione, and George followed. They all looked back as they reached the trees. The crowd beneath the Roberts family was larger than ever; they could see the Ministry wizards trying to get through it to the hooded wizards in the center, but they were having great difficulty. It looked as though they were scared to perform any spell that might make the Roberts family fall.

Nagini knew she needed to find a way to escape. There was absolutely no way she would miss having this much fun. She had to find a diversion. She looked around her surroundings and saw a quite big tree root on the ground. Subtly, so no one would notice, she magicked the root to move just slightly more so someone from the group could slip on it. Nagini barely finished her thought process when Ron yelled in pain and felled down.

"What happened?" said Hermione anxiously, stopping so abruptly that Harry walked into her. "Ron, where are you? Oh this is stupid - lumos!"

This was her que; while everyone was busy with Ron's clumsiness, Nagini slipped quietly from the crowd and darted deeper into the woods. After being at a safe distance, she turned her head to see if anyone has noticed her departure, but none of them showed any sign.

"Well, with feet that size, hard not to," said a drawling voice. Of course her dear Draco Malfoy had make his appearance. The snake girl wanted to stay and hex the shit out of him, but decided against it; she had to attend to a way more crucial business.

Transforming into a snake, her original form seemed a way much better idea, the risk of being caught will lessen considerably. Nagini glanced around her to make sure nobody was around, and then twisted her body backwards, bending her back and throwing her arms around herself; the arms were the key to the transformation; they were the first to take the look of snake skin, leading to them circling around her entire body, while her head and back sunk into them and finally – the head appearing.

Now this exactly what she would call proper relaxing. Sticking with her human form was and absolute disaster for her inner peace. The bones were obviously the most disturbing element. But while in her snake form, she felt full of liberty. Slithering around any way she desired, eating whatever or whoever her appetite wished for, because no one could tell her it was wrong, for her kind this was the prefect diet.

Sliding on the fresh grass, Nagini went looking for a Death Eater, but not randomly, she needed someone specifically, someone who had the knowledge about her double identity: the only present one here was the old Lucius Malfoy, another disgraceful peasant.
