BELLATRIX LESTRANGE: She has no mark! She must have a mark to be with us!

LORD VOLDEMORT: (he waves it off as unimportant) Untouchable you say? Intriguing.

(SEVERUS SNAPE moves closer in an order to protect LOUISA SNAPE)

LORD VOLDEMORT: Ever the protector Severus, but have no fear. I merely want details.

BELLATRIX LESTRANGE: No spell hurts this one.

LORD VOLDEMORT: None?

SEVERUS SNAPE: My Lord I believe the event Bellatrix is referring to happened some six months ago. May I suggest that their powers were weakened by Azkaban, and that is the true reason for not being able to curse her?

LORD VOLDEMORT: An interesting point Severus. There is but one way to find out. Draco, as you are of a similar age. (directs to the table) Louisa…

(Louisa and Draco stare at each other, standing on the table, they are about the same height. They bow and walk away from each other. Draco towards Voldemort and Louisa to the other end of the room.)

DRACO MALFOY: Expelliarmus! (nothing happens)

LUCIUS MALFOY: Nothing that easy Draco. (looks nervously at Narcissa)

DRACO MALFOY: Diffindo! (he draws closer) Bombarda! (he looks around)

LORD VOLDEMORT: Very good…

BELLATRIX LESTRANGE: I can get her I’m stronger now. I mean it all My Lord.

LORD VOLDEMORT: I’m sure, I’m sure. Ah Nagini.

(Draco and Louisa are looking down at Nagini. Draco looks terrified and sits back down and Louisa smiles at the snake.)

LOUISA SNAPE: *time has passed my friend, do you see me?* in Parseltongue

(her steps along the table were purposeful, meaningful, Nagini raised her head and untangled herself from Voldemort, he was showing more pride than Severus had ever seen. she moved towards Louisa and around her. She looked into her eyes)

LOUISA SNAPE: *from a baby, I have grown, see?* in Parseltongue

(everyone else was rooted to their seats in sight of Nagini, as she slithers back down the table. Louisa sits back down in her seat.)
