Severus Snape sat in a rather peculiar living room, with all furnishings in black, with rather odd decorations, such as a jewellery holder made from a dead raven's corpse. Whilst he was grossed out about this slightly, he pushed his feelings aside, instead focusing on the reason for his visit.
Bellatrix Lestrange emerged from her kitchen, levitating a wooden tray with two drinks on above her head.
"I have to say, Severus, I can't fully understand the reason for your visit" she admitted, setting down a cup in front of them both as she sunk into her favourite armchair.
"It's rather simple. The Dark Lord will reappear soon, and at the moment there seems to be some unknown person fighting against us all, no doubt one of Dumbledore's little club members. What does he call them again, the order of the Phoenix? Whilst I am a member of his group, such information about who this person is has yet to be shared with me - they haven't said anything in case we use veratisirum on them. Either way, it's important for our troops to now be stronger than ever. So I wanted to bring the Dark Lord back".
"How? We would have done that before if we could have".
"I found a new way in a potion book. It involves horcruxes, which we all know he had. I'm enlisting your help to find them all, so we can bring him back. I've already found a few of them".
"Which ones?"
"The diary; the ring; and the locket".
"So there's only three left?"
"That I know of. What do you say, Bella? Will you help me to bring our master back?"
Bellatrix paused for a moment, before summoning a cup from another room.
"Helga Hufflepuff's" she announced, handing it over to him delicately. "The fourth horcrux. Only two left for us to find".
