Severus woke early Saturday, the children were to leave for the holidays and he had to do some shopping. On his way past the fireplace he stopped to once again admire the crystal cobra only to realize it had been joined by a second snake shaped crystal. This one was coiled with its head resting atop its body as though asleep. The crystal was shaded with the red, yellow and black of the coral snake. The tag bearing a picture of a swimming swan said, ‘The coral snake, as striking as you are, Your Secret Santa’.
Severus snorted as he lifted the crystal to further examine it only to realize it was marked on the bottom with the words; ‘Venom – Coral Snake – 2.76 oz.’
Breathing heavily Severus reached for the cobra tipping it to see the label. He sat heavily on his sofa, holding both vials against his chest. Not only beautiful decorative gifts, but hideously difficult to procure potion ingredients as well, it was almost too much to comprehend.
