Oh, crap. Malfoy's blue krait is Voldemort's spy in the Malfoy home.

The Malfoy's have a whole bunch of snakes. I think there's a word for a place you keep a bunch of snakes, like an ofidarium or something.

Also, they know that Voldemort was a Parseltongue. Lucius would at least be aware of these spies. I think he would, anyway... do we know that the Death Eaters know that Voldemort was a Parsletonue in this fic?

Also, what kind of snake is Quirrell's animagus form? Should we have compared descriptions?

Not sure if joking.

Before Draco, on the floor, was the shining form of a snake that Draco recognized; a Blue Krait, a snake first brought to their manor by Lord Abraxas Malfoy after a visit to some faraway land, and Father had kept a Blue Krait in the ophidiarium ever since.

Thanks!

That is exactly the passage I didn't find.
