Severus joined Hermione, the Doctor and Harry for a final strategy session a few nights later – they had all needed some time to recover from the ritual. The difference in Harry was amazing to see. While he had not been sullen on a regular basis, he had tended to be moody, withdrawn and angry. He was now relaxed and genial, even Snape found himself reevaluating his opinion of the young man.
The foursome worked out a plan that was both simple and direct. Snape would retrieve the Sword of Gryffindor from Dumbledore’s office and then apparate them to Voldemort’s stronghold. He would use the sword to dispatch Nagini while the other three would seal the room. However, before engaging in battle, he would drink an elixir provided by the Spirit that would remove his Dark Mark, severing him from his fellow Death Eaters who would be extinguished when they killed Lord Voldemort. He could only hope and pray to Merlin that everything would work in their favor.

They landed silently in a small anteroom off Voldemort’s ‘throne room’ in the Riddle Manor. The whole dwelling reeked of decay with an underlay of slimy evil that made all the surfaces feel sticky regardless if they actually were or not. It sent chills through Hermione and the Doctor slipped an arm around her. An air of evil expectation clung like a spider web to the four interlopers. It took a few minutes for them to regain their equilibrium. Once Snape shook off his stupor, he quickly downed the contents of the bottle the Spirit had provided him. He grimaced, but made no other sign of the excruciating pain that coursed through him. It was with some trepidation that he peeled back his sleeve to reveal smooth pale skin – clear for the first time in nearly twenty years. Unbidden, a tear ran down his cheek – no matter what happened next, he would live or die a free man.
Suddenly self-conscious, Severus cleared his throat, and gruffly bit out, “Nagini should be resting beside the Da…beside Riddle who is usually wandering around his ‘throne room’ at this time of night, so we may or may not take him by surprise.”
“Oh, I hardly think by surprise, my dear Severus,” a cold voice hissed just beyond the doorway. Anger coursed through them – someone had betrayed them – they had been so careful to keep their plans hidden. A loud guffaw bellowed out, “You should see the looks on your faces right now,” Ron Weasley laughed cruelly. He taunted them further, “My Lord has promised me I could sample the Mudblood before she’s tortured to death – have to see if all the fuss about her is true.” Ron leered at Hermione who just stared impassively back at him.
Lord Voldemort looked at the youngest male Weasley with disgust, “I believe you have outlived your usefulness…” Ron paled and sunk to his knees to plead pathetically, “My Lord, please…” but it was in vain. “…Avada Kedavra.” In a blink of green light, Ron Weasley’s lifeless body stared blankly at his former friends.
In the same instant, the group from Hogwarts scattered in different directions. Severus headed for the ‘throne’, the Sword of Gryffindor in one hand and his wand in the other – he looked like a god of old wagging vengeance on those before him. Hermione, Harry and the Doctor sprinted for the doorways to the ‘throne room’ to seal them.
A flicker of unease made its way through Tom Riddle as he suddenly felt vulnerable – his enemies were not attempting to escape him, but trap him inside his audience chamber with them. Then his mania reasserted itself and he shook off his doubts – he was Lord Voldemort, nothing could harm him, he was undefeatable!
Severus reached the ‘throne’ where Nagini slumbered, somehow undisturbed by the commotion around her; he raised the Sword and neatly sliced her head from her body. He jumped back before her spray of poisonous blood could splatter him. Voldemort couldn’t believe Severus Snape, once one of his most loyal Death Eaters, had betrayed him and had now killed Nagini – the only being he held any affection for. “No…” he screamed, eyes flashing a brilliant blood red, “How dare you Snape…filthy traitor…I am Lord Voldemort…no one crosses me and lives…Crucio!”
But his spell never reached Snape as it was deflected back at his former master. By now, Snape had surrounded Riddle with Hermione on one side and Potter on the other with the Doctor across from him. They formed a loose circle around the evil being that was hissing and spitting so much like his beloved Nagini; they raised their wands as one, “morte aeterna” they shouted together.
A white light blasted Tom Riddle from four sides and he wailed, “No…I am immortal…I cannot die…you will…” His body blazed for a moment before turning to ash – a strong gust of wind slammed into the locked room to swirl the dust up into it before vanishing to scatter the remains of Tom Riddle over the Atlantic Ocean. His soul shattered and his body destroyed, Riddle was unable to reform and ceased to exist. Across Britain, Death Eaters screamed in agony as their leaders demise triggered their own.
Relief flowed over the group, and Severus made a very rare offer, “Shall we retire to my chambers for celebratory drinks?” The other three exchanged quick looks before coursing, “Fuck, yes!” With laughter surrounding them, they apparated back to Hogwarts.

A/N: the spell “morte aeterna” is Latin for “eternal death” and I made it up! I like Draco, so he was not a Death Eater in my story, and as much as I like Lucius – he is one and would have died with the other Death Eaters - just for this plot line!
