The two men appeared out of nowhere ,a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane.For a second, they stood quite still,wands directed at each others's chests;then regonising each other they stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and started walking briskly in the same direction.
'News?' asked the taller of the two.
'The best' repiled Severus Snape.
The lane was bordered on the left by wild, low-growing brambles, on the right by a high,neatly manicured hedge.The men's long cloaks flapped around thier ankles as they marched.
'Thought i might be late,' said Yaxley,his blunt features sliding in and out of sight as the branches of overhanging trees broke the moonlight.'It was a little tricker than i expected.But i hoped he will be sa satisfied. You sound confident that your reception will be good?'
Snape nodded.But did not elaborate. They turned right,into a right driveway that led off the lane.The high edge curved with them,running of onto the distance beyond the pair of impressive wrought-iron gated barring the men 's way.Neither of them broke step: in silence both raised thier left arms in a kind of salute and passed straight through as though dark metal were smoke.
I think that's enough . Had nearly typed a page from it, for another paragraph.They were gonna meet Voldemort in a handsome mansion.What's more? Well, go get the book and read it. =)
