Two months had passed and still no sign of the snake. I had no idea why I was searching for a snake in the jungle. I could have went and gotten a random snake from anywhere, or even used magic to make one appear. I knew this specific snake was special, I just didn't know why. But I needed to find it soon, school would be starting up soon and I needed to find it in order to get back before then. Due to the extremely hot weather, I was forced to ditch my usual black clothing for more vibrant color. I was currently in a pair of khaki shorts with a large white tee shirt. I had a backpack on with some of my books in it and other stuff. My wand was tucked into my pocket. The two muggles that accompanied me I had learned their names were Bruce and Louis. The two followed behind me as I walked.
"Where the bloody hell is this snake." I hissed as Bruce stepped in front of me with a sword and slashed down vines as we made our way through the dense jungle. These last few weeks I had done everything in my power to not just leave. This had been an interesting experience, Professor Howard wouldn't stop bothering me for weeks about how 'incompetent' I was for the job. Eventually I couldn't handle it anymore, I wanted him gone. In a fit of anger I accidentally commanded Bruce to kill him. I felt awful about it, and I informed Lucius on how I killed a man. He seemed to give little to no cares. But I did, I felt horrible.
"Should we go back?" Bruce asked still in the daze he had been in since the day I had met him.
"No! We are not going back this time! I want this snake now. You will get it for me, understand!" I hissed in anger. I had no idea what was happening to me. I had grown angry and vengeful over the last month. This jungle was doing stuff to me. Bruce went to swing at another pair of vines. Once the vines were done he stepped forward, as we had been doing for the passed five hours. My eyes widened as I watched a long slender object fly out of a tree and land on Bruce. He screamed out in pain. I watched as the animal attacked Bruce multiple times. It was a snake. Once he was dead and the snake had been filled with enough food. It began to rise up above my height, I took a step back behind Louis. I already lost one of my minions. I grabbed my wand and held it up at the snake.
"Petrificus Totalus!" I casted just before the snake was about to attack me. Causing it to freeze in the air. I needed to make sure this was the snake I was looking for. I grabbed the piece of parchment and held it up to the head of the snake. It's sharp fangs on full display hissed at me. It was ginormous and scary looking, it was probably the deadliest creature I had ever been close to. I was certain this was the snake I was looking for.
"Finally, I found you." I smiled as I moved my bag and began to go through my books looking for the song I had written down that would allow me to possess another talent I don't possess. I was going to try and talk to the snake to make this easier. I needed to sing a good song that I was passionate about. It didn't have to be hard or anything, just had to be a song I loved. I looked up at the snake then took a few steps back and sat crossed on the ground.
"You, stand in front of me and block me from the snake." I hissed pointing at Louis. He robotically made his way in front of the snake as I prepared myself. I laid the book in front of me as I read. My power would visibly show, as it always does when I sing. But I would have to push it towards my mouth. It would grant me the gift of parseltongue for a short period of time. But I would make it work. I closed my eyes and began to sing one of the first muggle songs I had ever heard growing up.
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that
rag doll
But only now my love has grown
I felt my hands begin to grow the familiar warmth it usually does when I begin to sing.
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I smiled as I looked down to see the bright blue magical orb begin to form in my hands. I began to move it back and forth from hand to hand. I formed it over and continued to move it around as it grew in size.
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like a Robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Finally, I moved the giant blue light away from my hands up to my face and to my mouth. Once the light had faded, I felt odd. I stood up and pushed passed Louis and stared at the snake.
"Hello, my name is Isabella Lestrange. I am here to bring you back with me." I smiled kindly. I was really hopping this snake would not be difficult I didn't want to deal with a deadly creature trying to kill me on the flight back to England.
"Lestrange?" The snake asked to itself in thought. Clearly my name had some meaning to it. But I didn't know anyone besides myself and my mother with that name.
"And where is back?" A female voice hissed from the snake that still remained frozen above me.
"My home, in Britain. You are required, as to why I have no idea. But I promise I would not allow any harm to come upon you." I promised.
"Large vows for a witch." The female snake hissed.
"Trust me, I am not like any other witch you have met." I smiled.
"fine." The snake hissed.
"You just have to behave and not eat me on the ride back and you are protected." I smiled.
"Okay, but can you release me?" The snake hissed in annoyance gesturing to the frozen state she was in. I grabbed my wand and waved it as she was free to move. She instantly fell to the ground and slithered up to me.
"Do you have a name?" I asked.
"Nagini."
Louis walked in front of us, I as walked and Nagini slithered. I could tell my spell was wearing off. We were heading back to the camp, to leave. I was finally going to return back to the Malfoy's. Yes, the jungle was fun I saw a lot of things I never thought I would. I was really just excited to have a bath, a real bath. I hadn't washed my hair in months.
"Louis, go gather up all the other men and have them sit in the center of the camp for me." I smiled. He turned around and walked way robotically. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my wand. I could feel Nagini watching me. I turned on the car and had it hover above the camp. Once all the men were surrounded I opened my door and stood up a little. Not so much that I would fall, but they could see me.
"Thank you all so much for your help. It brings me great sadness to do this." I sighed.
"Incendio!" I shouted a great ball of fire shot from my wand and hit the center of the camp. Turning everything in it's path into ashes.
"Time to go home." I sighed sitting back in the car and driving away with the deadly snake in the back seat. I held back my tears as I sat besides the snake. I was really a murderer.
