The light suddenly went out. The magical cocoon disappeared, releasing the boy from its grip. Sliding away, the magic cleansed him from the filth that the Potion had imprinted on his remains. Before the desperate father could begin to fear the worst, the coffin began to shake once more. Scorpius was still lifeless; however, there was something around him that was causing his bones to shake. Draco approached to take a closer look: a huge white python slithered over the corpse with jerky movements. The front part of the creature lifted itself in front of Scorpius" skull. It stopped to observe it, its small forked tongue tasting the air. When the serpent lunged forward, it inserted its head between the boy's slack lips and began to slowly slide down his throat.
