"Theverus! Thith ith unfair."
Snape pocketed his wand. Snitch-Marked bums were unfair. Transfiguring the Usurper's tongue to snake-tongue was merely damage control.
"M’minithry thpeech ith in theven minutes, you thod! Is this thome thentimental thpy thing?"
"No, a ‘putting you out of your misery' thing.” Snape informed. “Leave politics to me until you can control your pointless stuttering. Did you open Past Sonorus: Successful Speeches yet?”
"Did Voldemort!?"
"Yes! Also, three feet on Ruling Beyond Imperius vs. Idiot's Guide to Dictatorship. Tonight. No excuses."
Saving the world from a Gryffindor was a thankless chore, but someone had to do it.
