~~”Severus, Bellatrix, this is your wake-up call! Get up, or you’ll be late. By Mora.”~~

Severus opened his eyes. He held in his arms Bellatrix in her underwear, but he could not move and could not speak. Bella opened her eyes too, but she did not move an inch. Beside his bed there stood man–shaped shadow. His eyes were pure black. He bent over them and Severus’ s vision started to whirl and darken. Bella lay with her face towards Severus, so she did not see attacking mora, but in this moment her pupils dilated and then she closed her eyes.

Suddenly Severus felt something heavy and growling felt to their bed and he was free again.

~~”I’ve killed him! We are under attack. They are going to kill every human. Tzernobog, run to Malfoy’ s bedroom! Maybe you will catch some mora before she kills them.”~~

“What the fuck…”

~~”Language, Bellatrix. I’ll stay here for the rest of the night. I’m stronger. I can easily fight them. You humans cannot. Normally they would give you bad dreams and suck only a little, but this is not the case, now they are on a killing quest.”~~

During the night came two another moras, both women, only to be enthusiastically killed by Goryvlad. The wolf was enjoying the fight, but Severus and Bella were immobile in their presence, so they were very grateful for the wolf’ s help. Both Death Eaters sincerely hated the feeling of powerlessness, when they were not able to raise their wands and shout some incantation on moras. Especially Bella was raving in fury and promising revenge against anybody, who has sent such monsters to them.

Severus (especially one his lower part) thought, that she looked very good raging in underwear and he remembered times right after school, when they were together for half a year. He liked her very much then, although she was slightly mad, even before the Azkaban. After Azkaban she was even madder, but yesterday she evidently lost all illusions about Voldemort’s power, when she saw Surt easily overtook the leading position and her Dark-Lord-centered world crumbled. Now she searched another solid point in her life and she evidently came to him, not to her husband. Not that it surprised him – her husband was really boring chap. When the morning was approaching, Bella exhausted herself, clung to Severus like a child and felt asleep again in his arms.

When they came into the main hall in the morning, they found it unusually quiet. There were bieses, but they sat at their tables and they only whispered. Under the throne there lay over seventy dead bodies wrapped in white linen. In front of them stood groggily looking Lord Voldemort, subdued Loki, Hel, Lucifer and one black winged demon in black leather and sunglasses. Severus, Bellatrix and the wolf came to the leaders. When Lord Voldemort saw them, his face brightened up and he sincerely wished them a good morning. Bella almost fainted, but she managed to catch Severus’ s arm and she starred at Voldemort in disbelief. What happened to morning’ s Crucio? The Dark Lord continued with dull voice:

“Every Death Eater is dead. Only you and Malfoys stayed alive and I don’t know if Narcissa would make it to the evening. How did you make it?”

“This wolf slept in our room, Lord, and he killed them.”

“I’m glad, Bellatrix. Sad there were not wolves in every room. I’m condoling for your husband’ s death. I survived, but I had terrible nightmares all the night and now I’m totally exhausted.”

“It was their usual attack. Mare in the word nightmare is English transcription of word mora. So they did not manage to suck whole your energy? Maybe that’s because you are using the horcruxes”, nonchalantly uttered Lucifer.

“Assshhiiissssseesss,” hissed Lord Voldemort in parseltongue. For one moment he looked like his old self.

“Language, Tom”, the other demon in sunglasses laughed. “Eh, how is it possible you speak my language?”

“It’s genetical. Every descendant of Salazar Slytherin can do it.”

“Slytherin, Slytherin, I’ve heard it somewhere, I knew her… it’s a long time. But not Salazar. Her name was…”

“CRAWLEY!” roared Lucifer, “Don’t you want to tell me something, snake? Perhaps about forbidden procreation?”

“Oh, now I remember. Sorry, I was drunk! I didn’t want it, it was an accident, sir.”

“I don’t want to see you today anymore, but I expect you in the first line during the battle.”

“Thank you, sir.” Crawley, or Crowley, which he personally preferred, turned and went away, but he whispered with smirk to Severus: “I need to speak with you. I’ll wait in your room, alpha.”

Then Lord Voldemort again took charge and spoke with almost mother’ s caring: “Severus, Bellatrix and this applies to Malfoys too: you will not leave this fortress till the battle. You will not be alone, spare me, Bella, of course you can go to the loo without Severus, if that’s what you’d prefer, which I doubt, and always there will be a wolf with you. I don’t want to risk. Do you realize, that there are only five of us by now? Maybe four, when Narcissa dies? And we were completely helpless against them! Severus, don’t glare at me, be glad you are not sleeping with me in my room. Yes, that horrified face of yours is much better. Loki, stop right now your inane gesticulation. You are dismissed. I have a lot of work.”

“Thank you, my Lord.” Bellatrix and Severus bowed and they went back to Severus’ s room. Both were deeply concerned over the Dark Lord’ s mental health. Loki and Goryvlad followed them.

When they came here, there were already Crowley and Tzernobog. Crowley had his wings hidden and grumbled something about their discomfort to uninterested Tzernobog. When they entered, Tzernobog said: “That’s demon Crowley. He befriended an angel and now he is with us against Apocalypse.” Severus nodded and drove Crowley out of his bed, sat down and motioned for wolf Goryvlad to open connection. Bella sat automatically beside Severus. Loki mumbled something about arrogant alpha pair taking the most comfortable positions and he sat to the chair. Severus heard it and growled to him with bared teeth. Goryvlad automatically lowered his ears to show subordination, before he realized it was a joke. Then he sent accusing look to Severus and started:

~~”Granger, how it went?”~~

~~”I AM METATRON, THE VOICE OF THE GOD.”~~ Goryvlad jumped and whined in surprise, because Metatron’ s voice was clearly audible in everyone’ s mind. For the wolf it was too loud. Even for Severus’ s mind trained in Legillimency.

“Hi, mate, here’s Crowley. Is there Aziraphale with you?”

~~”Not yet, I’ll contact him. I did not realize you were involved too, old snake. Another Apocalypse? You two made a habit of it.”~~ Continued Metatron with quitter voice.

“Not intentionally. Call him; I want to speak with him. We are in sssssshit here. In two days we are moving to a field camp in Germany. Or what would remain of Germany. I need a miracle to save my asssssss!”

“Stop whining, demon. Metatron, how does it look at Hogwarts?” Asked Severus.

~~”Snape? Everyone here bothers me that I look like you. There is a little group of young humans organized by Granger, who do not want Apocalypse and they want to do anything to help your group. Between us, they don’t stand a chance, they are humans. No god is interested yet in stopping the battle. Frey and Freya are not interested in the fight; they are entertaining themselves in their old “score a virgin” game. It’ s 2:1 for Frey now. Besides, how did you survive mora attack? It was Morana, who sent them, but she has no other valuable fighters - her souls hardly do any damage. What precisely is your plan?”~~

Severus answered: “Convince as many as possible. Our plan is to attack the leaders in the beginning of the battle – it means on full moon rising, because we will be in the strategic center of our army. In ideal case we need everyone against giants. As long as your army kills giants, everything is all right. But if they start to kill us instead of giants, there’ s a problem. By us I mean myself, Bellatrix Lestrange, Draco and I hope Narcissa Malfoy, which are all surviving Death Eaters, Loki, Tzernobog with all the wolves, demon Crowley and vampires. With present situation it seems, that the Dark Lord will join us as well, he’s behaving very oddly. Lucifer seems to be some kind of friend of Lestat de Lioncourt, leader of the vampires. Maybe, I say maybe he would join us with some demons. Wolves can kill all the werewolves – they will be in a moon fury and completely useless. Vampires and us will then attack giants.”

~~”Ah, too much information. I’m no strategic, please slow a little. So you need our attack to center on giants and leave the other races alone?”~~

“No. Sadly there are Firbolgs, who want to go against Celtic heroes and bieses, who simply want to go against anyone, who seem weaker then them. And then there is Hel’ s army of the dead. What about old hatred between angels and demons? Oh, I forgot dementors. Contact McGonagall and tell her to ask unicorns and phoenixes – this beings can easily kill dementors, especially now, when they have younglings. Simply don’t kill wizards, wolves and vampires, we are on your side against giants.”

“Wait, wait, can I please make some notes?” Crowley queried. “I’d like to live till the next apocalypse…”

Severus thrown him a freezing glare and then gave Metatron all information he had on the Final Battle and listened to Metatron’ s report from Hogwarts. In the next two days they convinced Lucifer and his demons to fight against thousands of giants. Lord Voldemort did not join them. Morana did, as well as Veles and Manannan; they even managed to talk to Tyr, who coordinated all the Viking forces. And then there was nightfall right before the Final Battle…
