Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XIX)

is unlikely to succeed...or something

... sure  

Perhaps Voldemort won't explicitly say that he wants Snape to do it in the end - Snape always says he thinks it is the Dark Lord's plan, so Voldemort may not exactly say it at this point (he might later though), but he probably makes it clear for Snape implicitly.

If we plan to end with the bombshell of what the job actually is, then we are very close to the end.  

Perhaps he indicates that success is more important than Draco, more important than Snape's cover as a spy?

I know, Verity! I've been thinking about it and there seem to be two options: we can finish the story with Voldemort's announcement or with Snape's thoughts of it / reaction to it afterwards. Which one shall we choose?

Hmmm. Personally, I feel that Voldemort's announcement will make for a more powerful ending, but I'll go with the flow.

Something ominous here.
