5 of Ravenclaw: Torment

Meaning of the card facing you: isolation, insecurity, worry, financial loss, poverty
Meaning of the card facing away from you: recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty

Note: I usually do not post more than one card in a week, but as I did not do one last week, I figured I would do two this week.

Just a little background about the card itself: usually, I have the background of the card reflecting the house it belongs to in some way. this card is the opposite. Hufflepuff is supposed to be the happy, loyal, loving, sunshine and butterflies kind of house. This card is the opposite of that and to reflect that, the background is purple and red (the opposite of yellow and blue kind of) (I know it's hard to see. I'll probably upload a new picture soon) to show how opposite it is from the House's values.

Everything that we know about Nagini is through Voldemort. We hear her history and what she went through when we learn more about him and what he did in his life and what he did to her. From what I understand, Voldemort found Nagini after his first fall at the hands of Harry. When he was weak, she was there for him. In his time of isolation, loss, and poverty, Voldemort found a 'friend' in Nagini.

He worried about her a lot. She became a Horcrux when Voldemort killed Bertha Jorkins in the fourth book. He, then was still very weak. Though splitting your soul does not seem like it would make you stronger, it did. He became even more immortal. She was a source of power for him. When Voldemort realized that Harry was hunting down his Horcruxes, he immediately made sure that Nagini was secured and very close to him. He did not want to have to worry about losing another piece of his soul, but also he didn't want to lose her. Again, they had a bond and Nagini might have been the only thing that Voldemort really cared about other than himself and his power. She was an extension of him literally and figuratively and so he worried and cared for her.

Nagini was with Voldemort while he was weak, she was also stayed with him when he was strong. She was there when he gained power and started killing people and worked to made his prejudices become a reality. He was able to talk to him in parseltongue, share information that she heard, kill people for him. She stuck with him until her head was cut off with the Sword of Gryffindor by Neville that destroyed the piece of Voldemort's soul. That was actually another very important thing about her. She was the last Horcrux he made and she was the last one to be destroyed. Harry could not  have killed Voldemort without her being killed which shows again how close they were (Voldemort and Nagini).
