"An older, somewhat stout wizard with a mustache. His few verbalized hexes were in languages I never heard of." Voldemort considered. "Anything else?" "Yes. While the explosions drove the dementors off, six passed over an area that seemed to suck them away. That made the others flee all the faster." "I see." Voldemort had a good idea of who that stout wizard would have been. "And who wounded you?" "That older wizard." "What did he do?" "He shot me!" "What?" Bellatrix exclaimed. "He shot me! With a silver bullet! If he had had better aim, he would have killed me! As it is, this wound won't heal until after my next transformation!" "Then you deserve to rest. Unless you have some questions, Bella?" "No, Master." "Then you may go, too." As they left, Snape awaited his Master's orders. "I'm sure you have a good guess at who this stout wizard was," Voldemort stated. "Yes, Master." "Can your potions be left for a short time?" "Yes, Master." "Then go ask him what he discovered. Perhaps he will answer. After all, he thinks you are still loyal to the Old Man." "Yes, Master." "You look tired, John." Thursday, August 22, 1996
"I am, Severus." Russell was loading his largest briar pipe with the Cavendish- Burley mixture he used when he wanted to stay awake. "I wonder why you might be taking a break from your own mysterious business to come visit our little aerie." "Sarcasm does not become you, John." Russell glared at his colleague. "Let me guess. He said to come and ask me what I've done, because you are, after all, a good member of the Order of the Phoenix." "Almost word for word," Snape admitted. "But if I tell you, I won't be able to stop the attacks," Russell pointed out. "True," Snape said. "How about if you at least tell me how you're driving the dementors off, as opposed to telling me how you know where the attack was coming." "Dementors cannot stand ultraviolet light," Russell answered. "Muggles have an amazingly large number of ways to project it, even at the levels needed to drive those demons off. Alas, I have not found a spell that does the same, yet." Russell tossed Snape a pair of tinted glasses. "These charmed glasses allow Muggles to see dementors under normal light. Scrimgeour has recruited some squibs who can work with Muggle law enforcement. It will take some time, but between the Ministry and the Muggle Government, they will figure out ways to drive dementors away, if not destroy them, without the general Muggle population learning of us." "That isn't what you did to the dementors last night!" "No, that was a nasty little ritual from West Africa. It destroys the physical manifestations of demons, and it worked on dementors quite nicely. I have it down to a three minute ritual." "And Marcus Flint?" "Your other Master should be gazing at his face by now." Snape glared at Russell. "Is this a new vice?" "No," Russell retorted. "I did not like having to kill that idiot. I got no pleasure from it, and certainly didn't inflict pain on him, like your other master and his followers would." "That is so good to hear," Snape said, a bit sarcastically.
