Had I not done as I did, we would live in black days, Dameon - surely you see the truth in that. *His snarl ebbs into a whisper, his face agonizingly young for a moment*
*Recovers, resuming his scowl* Considering how prone you are to revenge, what could I have done otherwise? Offered tea? My children were home, Dameon - I'd not risk them for you, not for anyone.

*Releases him, stepping away*
Prone to revenge?
I'm quite certain when I was let out of Azkaban I merely wanted you to help me wash the grime from my body, not serve your head to me on a silver platter.
I didn't believe in it anymore than you did the second time around.. Perhaps, had you trusted me it wouldn't have become so bleak... It doesn't matter now.

My instructions forbade me from telling anyone of Dumbledore's plans; if that wasn't obvious, then you are a fool in addition to a sorry p***k.
*Narrows his eyes, dropping the heart attack performance* Your torture is not limited to magic, Dameon; your uncanny ability to slide as much guilt into each sentence is blood-letting enough.

And so I've read... It also sounded like your instructions were to die, but that didn't happen, did it?
You guilt yourself. The last thing I wish to do is assist you in being miserable. You do it well enough on your own.
*Begins to walk away, muttering a spell beneath his breath, wand held near his side. He shifted the weight of his cloak on his shoulders, appearing like a large cat shrugging off some sort of bad experience*

*The corners of his mouth move into a smirk* Leaving me to my heart attack?

To your idiocy? Of course.
I think it's safe to say I won't be getting what I thought I would... Things have changed too much.

Perhaps not. *Sweeps his wand forward* Temporus!
*A wave of heat shoves him back, fire erupting in a violent line around them, closing into a roaring circle that lights up the dark graveyard in flickering orange*

*Pauses to watch the flames encircle around them, arching a thin brow before turning his face to look back over at Snape. The flames played off his gray eyes, shinning in a way that they only ought to in his animagus form*
Going to keep me here until the Ministry shows?
Are you still such a coward, Severus?

Hardly the Ministry. As I said, my intentions are to give you to Granger. It is the.. safest route.

Naturally, you'd humiliate me further.
*Turns back to face Severus again, something far more then hate capturing his features as he allows his wand to slide from his wrist into his palm*
I really ought to stop giving you the benefit of a doubt, Severus, before it ruins me any further.

Assuming that you aren't already in ruin.
*Tsks*
Do not turn this into a duel you are not prepared to win, Dameon. Granger stands as your only option beyond Mad-Eye Moody's wrath.

Forgive me for not justifying my rolling over as you always have, I don't seem to have anyone I'm willing to grovel for to help ease such suffering.
*He moved slowly, heavy cloak shifting to guard the wounds mad-Eye had managed. Careful, smooth steps gave Mulciber the undeniable prowl of a large feline, lazy but sure*
If it is ruin that I am, then I hope this eases some of the bitterness. *He snarled suddenly, slashing his wand forward so that a harsh crimson light tore through the air towards Snape*

*A crackling white veil of magic encloses Snape briefly as he moves back, his expression darkening into a scowl* Damn you, Dameon. You're injured, I've a heart condition, and there's clearly no other option for you. Dueling will prove nothing.

I come back to you...and this is all you offer? All these years and NOTHING?
*Advances on Snape, sending a jagged edge of blue at him with another angry flick of his wrist*

*Takes another uncertain step back, a flush of red on his pale features, sweat slicking his throat as he pants silently* I had assumed you dead, if not alive and plotting vengence against me, Dameon. *Does not so much as flinch as blue light crackles against his shield*
