Both the snake and the man hisses when she stomps on him, the snake twisting to bite at her but only snagging fangs on her thick boots without puncturing. There's a scream from the apparition as the spell hits, unholy and more devil than human. There's a sticky blackness to the blood that flows out of the snake. It looks more like tar than actual blood.
And then Voldemort's gone (again; for good) and there's nothing but a dead snake. (Somewhere in Albania, an animal that was hosting the main part of his soul gasps out a final breath.) For a long moment there's an almost eerie silence after.
But then there's the softest moan as Sirius Black, some color back in his cheeks despite still looking haggard, regains consciousness as himself for the first time in what feels like forever. He blinks in confusion for a couple moments, trying to get used to having a full sense of himself, before memory and panic sweeps in.
"--Lily! Lily, are you hurt?" He's still a little too weak to get all the way up to standing, but he manages to get up to something more like sitting again, "Did you-- Is he gone? Merlin, Lily, I could have killed you--"
