You Were too Young to Die

Chapter 15

LA MONTURE

( The mount )

Rachel was fuming looking at the photograph which represented James and Lily.

Why was that girl so beautiful ?

Why had Voldemort been interested in her ? The girl had to die. So, she would be free to make Tom return to her. And everything would start again as before.

She tore the snap in two pieces and dropped the fragments on the floor. Curiously, both parts joined, gathering again James and Lily.

" Nothing can separate you... It´s bad for you. "

She went out making sure to walk on the photograph with her heel.

***

Rachel approached him. As every time, she felt a shudder crossing her spine. She found him so haughty, impressive, powerful.

Quand on te voit sur ta monture

Quelle allure et quelle stature

Un vrai modèle de droiture

Une force de la nature

But thinking of his betrayal, she found her indignation. She said to him :

" Tom ! I want you to explain to me! "

" I don´t have to answer to you. "

" That girl, I don´t want that you take her with you. You love me, not her ! "

" I love who I want. And I like her : she is beautiful and has some power. She is a very good witch. "

Rachel stamped with anger then had an illumination. She knew exactly the clinching argument which would make him give up.

Ou bien n´es-tu qu´une raclure

Un animal de luxure

Qui court à l´aventure

Y´a-t-il un coeur sous ton armure

***

Snape threw a glance to Lily's photograph which he had put on his desk. He brushed it with his finger.

I don´t want you to die Lily. He and your son if somebody had to die die but not you.

Not you.

He put his head in his hands.

He had warned Dumbledore the Potters was in danger.

And henceforth he was afraid.

He would have wanted that another one warned the Headmaster.

But not him.

He would have wanted to know nothing.

Nothing.

***

She told him :

" You can´t love this girl. "

" Of course not. I can´t love anyone. But I like her. "

She lost her composure. She had believed he did like her, Rachel.

But not.

He just liked her.

Tes mots d´amour sont des injures

Tes serments sont des parjures

Mon coeur déjà se fait plus dur

Je te mets au pied du mur

However she continued :

" You can´t be interested in her. "

" Why ? "

" Because she is a Mudblood ! " she hurled abuse at him.

" This... This girl is... what ? "

" She has Muggle parents " she finished calmly, because she had won, she knew it. " And you hate Muggles don´t you ? "

He darkened :

" It changes so many things... "

She approached him and put her arm around his shoulder. She put her lips on his then whispered, with a feline and threatening voice :

" You see I am not so bad... I will help you to kill them, Potter, the girl and the baby boy... "

Le mien est pur comme l´azur

Laisse-moi panser tes blessures

Oublions cette mésaventure

Je t´aimerais si tu me jures

Je t´aimerais si tu me jures

Qu´on la pendra

La Zingara

She slid her tongue between Tom's teeth, slowly :

" And we will leave... "

Délivre-moi de ma ceinture

Viens en moi petite ordure

Apprends-moi l´art de la luxure

Je t´aimerai si tu me jures

Je t´aimerai si tu me jures

Qu´on la pendra

La Zingara
