Narcissa Malfoy: I know I'm not to be here. The Dark Lord himself forbid me to speak of this... Severus Snape: If the Dark Lord has forbidden it, you are not to speak... [Snape turns to Bellatrix fooling around with his things] Severus Snape: Put it down, Bella. We mustn't touch what isn't ours. [to Narcissa] Severus Snape: As it so happens, I'm aware of your situation. Bellatrix Lestrange: You? The Dark Lord told you? Severus Snape: Your sister doubts me. Over the years I've played my part well, so well I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time. Bellatrix Lestrange: [Snarling] Huh! Severus Snape: Dumbledore *is* a great wizard. Only a fool would question it. Narcissa Malfoy: I don't doubt you Severus. Bellatrix Lestrange: [Walking around] You should be honored Cissy, as should Draco. Narcissa Malfoy: ...He's just a boy. Severus Snape: I can't change the Dark Lord's mind. But it might be possible for me to help Draco. Narcissa Malfoy: [Getting up] Severus... Bellatrix Lestrange: Swear to it... make the Unbreakable Vow. [Walking over to Snape] Bellatrix Lestrange: It's just empty words. He'll give it his best effort, when it maters most. He'll just slither back into his hole... coward. Severus Snape: [coldly] Take-out-your-wand. [Cut to Snape and Narcissa clasping hands, as Bellatrix circles them, holding her wand] Bellatrix Lestrange: Will you, Severus Snape, watch over Draco Malfoy, as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes? Severus Snape: I will. Bellatrix Lestrange: And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm? Severus Snape: I will. Bellatrix Lestrange: And, if Draco should fail, will you yourself carry out the deed the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform? Severus Snape: I will.
