"Serpensortia." Hermione had her wand trained on the chicken which instantaneously turned into a Blue Coral Snake. Before he could reach for it or throw it off, the snake slithered up his arm and wrapped around his neck. With one final swish, Hermione hoisted Lucius up in the air where he created red claw marks in a fruitless attempt to free himself from the snake's hold. "Did you really think I would take your word for a duel?" When she laughed it was filled with pure malice. "I'll admit that I am no master at the art of wand making and I had little time to consult Gregorovitch on how to alter your wand as you did mine. However, between the fake wands the Weasley twins had made and your little transfiguration joke, I managed to come up with something that will provide me with satisfaction as I watch you die." The snake plunged it's fangs into Lucius" shoulder, filling him with a venom that locked up every muscle in his body with muscle spasms. Hermione completed the wand motion that severed her connection to the spell so she no longer had to keep her wand trained on the snake for Lucius to stay hanging. She then removed a needle she had conjured from her parent's dentistry and removed one of Lucius shoes and sock to look for a vein to inject him in as his arms were now curled into his body so she could not them. "Do you know what Procedural Sedation is? You probably don't as it's a muggle technique. Basically, the snake's venom is going to to keep you awake while you die and it has a nasty habit of killing humans by paralyzing the muscle that help you breathe." Hermione plunged the needle into a protruding vein, thankfully on the first try as the jerking of his foot made the situation a bit more difficult. "This fast acting opioid should fix that."
