DISCLAIMER: All things Harry Potter belong to J.K. Rowling.

A/N: Kreacher and Nagini have been added to the character filter! (I know because I sent in the request for them, and the support staff sent me back a message that said "Added.") And, to celebrate, I'm posting this.

-- Slither --

Bellatrix burst through the door to Voldemort's room, shouting breathlessly, "My lord, I've just-"

But she stopped speaking abruptly and quickly exited the room again, slamming the door shut behind her.

She hadn't just seen that. She had NOT just seen that.

It'd only been for a few seconds but the image was now burned into her mind.

Holding her breath, she opened the door - just a crack - and peeked into the room. And, just as she'd seen before, there was Voldemort lying completely naked in his bed, twined intimately with Nagini.

She'd never realized that the Dark Lord loved his snake. Physically.

Bellatrix quietly pushed the door shut, and walked away. Her news could wait until morning.
