(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Last Time:
There was no backing out of this so he wordlessly summoned the red counter potion next to his new brown colors he will use on Hedwig and removed the disguise. The kneazles and owl watched warily as red eyes met green …
XXXXXXXXXX
Maria walked forward first without any sign of her usual child like demeanor “are you Harry Potter?”
“yes” Harry said as his felt his kneazles lean against him protectively. The deceitfully child like vampire gestured for him to kneel and without any real choice in the matter Harry kneeled. He tried not to flinch as the cold fingers traced his scar. There was nothing he could do against vampires and werewolves and he didn’t want to get Lyra, Libra and Hedwig hurt in a severely one sided fight.
“it really is you” Maria smiled with a glimmer in her eyes. If vampires could cry she would be.
Sanguini burst out laughing “we tried to find you for so long and you just walk right into my apartment complex!”
Trocar sighed sadly “I’m sorry Harry, I didn’t know the door was open-gah!”
Green eyes widened as Maria vanished. He spun around at the sound of Trocar gagging and there she was holding Trocar by the neck. Maria was standing on the arm of the couch to get the height required to lift Trocar off the ground. Her eyes were nearly black and her fangs were extended … Maria was furious!
“sorry! You’re sorry Trocar! Are you saying you would’ve kept your revelation from us?! We all have a life debt with the boy and you would hide him from all of us?!” growled the child like vampire. Harry was about say something in his mentor’s defense before he was hurt, but Armel patted his shoulder comfortingly as he and many others came into the apartment.
Armel was the tallest vampire by far and though not bulky he did have broad shoulders with soft black hair and slightly tan skin he was an imposing figure “Maria let Trocar go. He has more reason than most to be protective of Harry”
Frank snorted as he and Greyback walked in the room “yep, he’s Harry’s mentor and mother” Trocar was dropped to the ground as Maria finally calmed down. Harry went over to Trocar who was gagging slightly as he shot Frank a dirty look for the mother comment.
“Maria what did you mean by a life debt?” Harry asked as he noticed his kneazles seemed to calm down as well. Hedwig, however, was watching everyone carefully from her tallest perch.
Greyback snorted “you, whether intentional or not, were the cause of Voldemort’s downfall and that madman was the enemy of every creature. Creatures like us take life debts very seriously unlike your wizard groupies who prefer to worship rather than take your care seriously”
“that’s right Harry. Dumbledore betrayed us after that, which is why we were trying to find you. Our left debt means we should keep you safe, but that bastard squirreled you away before anyone could get a lead” Maria pouted now back to her child like attitude.
Trocar nodded now recovered from nearly being mauled by a mini vampire “a left debt also means we want the full story … who were you running from?”
Harry saw Sanguini shut the apartment door and found it amusing for some reason. It was clear they were on his side and weren’t going to let him leave until they got the whole story “Dumbledore … I had to get away from my magic hating relatives before they killed me. One year of school would’ve made them treat me worse than ever, but Dumbledore forced me to go back”
The young wizard spent the next couple hours telling them everything from beginning to end. Each detail of his treatment and all the information Gringotts found out clearly infuriated the creatures. He knew someone would find out eventually, but not this fast. It was a amazing that things turned the way they did.
Except for one issue … he had to convince them not to attack Severus Snape until after he had the potion master make the potions to expose if any outside influence is controlling him. After all if Dumbledore forced him to live in areas with various mind influencing charms why not the professor too? Everyone was reluctant, but agreed anyway and left to let him eat and rest though Maria wasn’t going to let some people get away with such horrid actions.
“Trocar, he said his family and this Ms. Figg were not expected to return for 10 or so days right?” asked Maria once the door to Harry’s room closed.
“yes, so we have some time to find them, but despite what they did Harry hasn’t given much information on where they live. He only talked about the inside of the house” said Trocar.
Frank glanced at Greyback then to the vampire mentor “Harry is smart not cruel, but there is a good chance that his trail is still strong. If he got to the magical world fairly easily then maybe he was not far from the Leaky Cauldron”
Sanguini smirked “it may have been raining when he first came here, but it was crystal clear when he returned the next day and it hasn’t rained since then. Care for some house hunting anyone?” the vampires and werewolves vanished for a little while, but were there in the early morning …
Harry walked downstairs the next morning with his blonde blue eyed disguise in place and saw Trocar and Frank waiting “I applied the potion to Hedwig’s feathers last night so she looks different. I’m going to get Severus, I’ll be right back”
“alright, but be careful” said the vampire.
“sure, I have these two watching me” Harry smiled as his kneazles came bounding down the stairs to join him. The young wizard pondered where the others were, but knew they wouldn’t say so he went out with his kneazles. At this early hour no was around save for a couple store owners who were closing up, but that was for Knockturn Alley. Diagon Alley was empty making it easy to see Severus Snape ”good morning Severus”
“good morning to you as well Cache” said Severus and though he didn’t show it he was still pleased to see that the boy was looking better than that first time they met and was eager to see his living conditions. He patted the affectionate felines as he followed the boy back to Knockturn Alley and into an apartment complex crawling with dark creatures.
“my apartment is on the top floor” Cache stated as he looked at the vampires and werewolves on every single floor. Six were in the sitting room. Armel and Maria were on the second floor seemingly chatting about something. A few werewolves were helping Sanguini update the wards and charms in the complex on the third floor. On the fourth floor was now Frank and Trocar arguing about something. It didn’t take a genius to see that they were watching out for him. There wasn’t any sign of Greyback, but the Alpha was hunted by the ministry so he had to be careful. He did a great job protecting his pack so no one knows who they are, but he was in danger if the wrong person saw him.
“Cache you ate breakfast right?” Trocar asked in his usual worried tone. The vampire forgot to ask earlier.
Cache smiled as he opened the door to his apartment “of course, I know you wouldn’t let me leave if my stomach grumbled. Oh, this is Severus Snape who is the one who offered to teach me potions. Severus this is Frank and Trocar. Trocar teaches me … everything except potions and Healing” he said happily as they went into the apartment. He rolled his eyes as Frank opened his mouth to make a mother comment, but was silenced by a glare from Trocar.
Hedwig was perched in her cage sporting a new color palette consisting of dark rich brown on her head, back, tail feathers and across the back of her wings. A creamy gold color colored her face, stomach and the underside of her wings and tail feathers. A few black speckles completed the owls disguise. Harry did this last night after eating … and after telling an army of ‘dark’ creatures his life story of course. Hedwig’s nickname is Ami and she was still a lovely owl …
The potions used to change her feathers were mostly the same as the bath he made a week ago to disguise himself. The main difference was the kneazle whisker, which was not ground or toasted this time. He tested it to be sure by making a couple brown marks on his hand and running water over it once it dried. It stayed for everything until the counter potion was used meaning he could safely study the potential healing properties of the toasted whiskers separately … once Trocar allowed it that is.
“it’s good to meet you both … it seems you use your kitchen as the potions lab” Severus commented in slight interest as he looked around the kitchen. He was glad to see ventilation charms and fully stocked cabinets. The boy was eating and it was the vampire helping it seems “you have been reading I see … a quartz cauldron?” the potion master asked as he looked through the book filled shelves to see the two cauldrons at the bottom. With the money Harry has made making just two batches of potions a day for St. Mungo’s made it possible to retire all the stolen library books and get several books and scrolls of his own and still start saving money before going to his first healing lesson. If anything he felt more secure now even though his family vaults are closed.
“part of my experimental potion. I’m studying the effects of pure kneazle whiskers and quartz would boost the effects. Trocar doesn’t want me to start experimenting until I get my healing abilities improved so I haven’t started yet” Cache smiled, but a spark of panic zipped through him as the professor started looking at the potions on the counter … he forgot to put away his disguise potion. Frank noticed even before Trocar and in a casual way started sifting through the very potions Severus was looking at pretending to look for a pain reliever for another werewolf. With some simple slide of hand he hid the potions and successfully irritated the potion master.
“your set up is quite different, but it is safe assuming you were taught shield charms …” Severus glanced at Trocar.
Trocar bristled a little, it felt like the wizard was questioning his level of care for Harry’s safety “he learned shield charms even before we met and I improved his reflexes and warded the area around the kitchen. Yes, vampires can use wards. Charms take magic, but runes and wards don’t take need magic you know”
“indeed” Severus said as if he was still unconvinced and Harry was freaking out on he inside because Trocar looked pissed.
“well should we get started?” Cache chuckled nervously.
Severus nodded brushing off the cold stare the vampire was giving him “yes lets”
Frank started following them down the stairs and out of the complex. Two steps out the door Severus whirled around and pinned the werewolf with a glare “what? I’m just hanging out with Libra and Lyra” he said. It just so happens the kneazles were always with Cache “I’ll be good” the werewolf grinned. The potion master sneered, but continued walking with his apprentice and showed him the place that rents potion labs even with the unwanted guest …
Harry could tell Frank wasn’t letting him alone with the professor so this was going to be a tense few weeks …

Dumbledore glared menacingly at the bedridden minister, but quickly hid it behind a mask of concern as he gently shook Fudge awake “Cornelius wake up”
‘Ugh wha … what?“ Fudge opened his eyes and looked around in confusion “Albus? … what happened? Where am I?”
“you were attacked by Devil’s Snare and nearly killed on Tuesday. It’s Friday now. You should put me down as a contact because I was worried this entire time. I didn’t find out what happened until today” said Albus pretending to be fussy by adjusting the blanket.
“yes … I’ll do that” the minister mumbled weakly.
“you know, since you’re up I need permission to send two of my Order members to America. I brought the paperwork so just need to sign off on it. Ones for Remus Lupin and the other is for Moody” the headmaster shoved a quill into the weak hands and made the poor man sign twice. Seeing the completed forms Dumbledore grinned. The werewolf who is gullible enough to believe everything he says and knows Potter’s scent is going with Moody, who is a good tracker too, to America to find the person who ‘kidnaped’ Harry … or at least that’s the story he’ll tell them.
“the Minister isn’t allowed visitors”
The headmaster hid the papers in his robes before turning around “I happen to be-“ Dumbledore gaped as he turned to see the very blonde blue eyed brat he met days ago and he clearly put on plenty of weight … all of it being in muscle and he was taller too. Just inches away from being the same height as the headmaster. If the icy blue eyes glaring at him wasn’t intimidating enough the claws on the kneazles were …
“I know who you are. Friend, headmaster or whatever relationship you have with the minister means nothing. He is to receive no one until he recovers” said the boy as his kneazles circled the headmaster.
Dumbledore tried to put on an air of power, but the boy simply glared back and was astonishingly unaffected “Poppy said-”
The blonde smirked “my mentor is Poppy and guess what she told me … No … Visitors” he said slowly as if speaking to an idiot.
“mentor?” Dumbledore twitched.
“why yes. Let me introduce myself. I am Cache Devant Vous, the apprentice for both Poppy and Severus Snape. We will be seeing much more of each since I will be assisting Poppy at the infirmary over the school years. Don’t worry about any paycheck, it’s strictly voluntary” Cache said in a mock friendly tone. Harry was trying not to let his irritation with the man get to him, but even with his mental defenses on full force he couldn’t stop a little sarcasm from seeping into his voice.
“so … you’ll be staying at school with them then” the headmaster was cackling maniacally on the inside. He layered several loyalty spells in all the Head of Houses’ quarters, Poppy’s room and the potion lab Snape uses. No matter where the boy stays he will eventually be under the headmaster’s thumb and Dumbledore was drooling at the thought of having this talented boy as an ally instead of a nuisance.
Cache’s eyes narrowed as he saw the headmaster’s eyes twinkle in delight “no, I have decided to floo back and forth from my apartment. It’s more because I prefer to make potions at home. I will be joining you for meals and will stay until curfew, but not over weekends unless Poppy needs an extra pair of hands. Now …” the blonde stepped aside and Dumbledore was forced out the door by scary growls from the kneazles. Harry noted the look of disappointment in the headmaster’s eyes before being scared off and it confirmed his suspicions. He knew both Poppy and Severus would test positive for loyalty spells once the diagnostic potion was done.
“time to sleep Minister” Harry tucked the man in and Fudge fell asleep again.
With that Harry shut the curtain around the patient’s bed and left to continue helping Poppy who was busy helping a critical patient. After this he had to meet Severus for potion lessons, which are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday afternoons and Friday afternoons. Not that the potion needed to be tended to every time. The potion just had to be watched carefully up until the full moon phase, which was tonight, and the fourth week. The other days Severus has lessons for Harry are for working on theories and other potions.

Lucius glanced out the window of the Malfoy Manor “we got back just in time”
“those fools are like Ghouls you can’t get rid of ” Narcissa scowled as the 4 known Death Eaters left the area around their mansion.
Draco glared at the apparating Death Eaters “the Dark Lord is dead. Why don’t they leave us alone?”
“it’s not so simple Draco” Lucius sighed “not everyone believes he is dead. Yes, no one is really looking for him and most claimed to be forced to do the things they did to avoid Azkaban, but many fear his return whether they truly believe it or not. They are all covering their asses by keeping the Dark Lord’s Money in check just in case the worst is true” the Malfoy scowled in disgust. The Malfoy family was always just the unwilling piggybank …
“this isn’t fair” Draco scowled as his mother kissed his head comfortingly.
Narcissa sighed as she hugged Draco “I know my little dragon” Lucius frowned sadly at the sight of his wife and son, but his house elf, Dobby, appeared to tell him that a letter was waiting for him and Lucius went upstairs where he saw an owl in his office window. He took the message from the owl’s beak. A Gringotts seal made him realize it must be important so he opened it and the contents made him fall to his knees in shock unknowingly knocking the heavy desk chair over …
“Dad?” the Malfoy heir heard something fall upstairs and he and his mother went up stairs to see what happened. They were shocked to see Lucius on the ground clutching a letter.
“Lucius/Dad!” Narcissa and Draco went over to him, but he paid them no mind as he got up to quickly write a letter …
XXXXXXXXXX
Cache sighed “seriously Frank” he hissed as the werewolf set his feet up on the table in the lab again. The werewolf does it to irritate Severus and it’s no big surprise. It didn’t matter what Harry said on the man’s behalf because they, as in most of the creatures in the apartment complex, don’t like how the professor treated him as Harry Potter. The loyalty point fell through when Maria pointed out that the man was a skilled potion master and should’ve realized if he was being controlled.
The young wizard knew it was a good point, but Harry also knew that it wasn’t that simple. Depending on the spells involved it may be impossible for Severus to consider it on his own, which is why he asked to start with that potion.
“why is he following you like a stray mutt anyway?” Severus snarled at the werewolf. Harry didn’t bother answering. What would he say? ‘the werewolf is keeping an eye on you because you were my bastard professor … oh you know you’ve been insulting yourself this entire time right?’ …
Harry frowned, that would complicate things. So instead he left the large rented lab and went to the fireplace in the hallway. He flooed home to whip up a selection of snacks for lunch, grab a book or two for the late night and to tell Trocar what’s happening. Trocar said he’d bring dinner so Harry made an extra big lunch because he doubted his vampire mentor will make anything for his potions mentor.
Once it was sunset Trocar intended to drink and join them so Frank can go to his cell room. If there were blackout charms on the windows of this building the Trocar would be there, but there wasn’t and with Frank the fussy mentor wasn’t taking the risk of getting burned. Despite the teasing Frank and Trocar were good friends. Trocar is also teaching Harry the blackout charms that are used in the complex and if he gets passed his first challenge Trocar will teach him the wards that go into the complex too.
Frank snorted “I am not a mutt and though this is only the third day we’ve been together I can tell you actually like me”
“at least we won’t have to deal with you during the moon phase” Severus glared at Frank’s smirking face. Harry flooed back with a platter of food and rolled his eyes as the werewolf continued to pester the potions professor. No one noticed he left … except for his kneazles who were enjoying the treats he brought for them too.
“don’t worry Sevvy” Frank grinned at the glare sent his way “Trocar will be making sure you’re behaving around Cache. Like no inappropriate mandrake root comments”
‘that was you” Severus growled, he was going to hex the werewolf when he noticed the tasty smelling food on the back table “at least someone is thinking ahead” he commented as he took a sandwich and shot a glare at the ill-mannered werewolf who was scarfing down his own sandwich.
“Trocar made me promise to remember meals since I’ve been getting distracted” Cache commented as he set up a kettle for some tea. A strange sound from the active cauldron made him go and check “it’s the clouding phase right?” he asked as he saw the gray solution developed storm cloud like bubbles in the center.
The potion master got up to see and nodded “yes, this is the reaction you have to see before you place it in the moonlight” Severus somehow knew the werewolf tried to take the his sandwich so he shot a hex over his shoulder and pretended not to hear the werewolf yelp leaving the potion master’s food safe “once the moon comes out we’ll see a unique reaction that stimulates the potion. Without the moonlight it wouldn’t detect the stronger spells in a person and if something went wrong, like too much moonlight, it could be toxic. It must stay under for exactly 30 minutes of full moon light. Stir once counterclockwise every hour until the moon is up”
The apprentice did as instructed before going back to poor some tea “I read a book on moonlight in potion, but it only talks about how unstable it can become if too much or too little is involved … why is it always the full moon? Why not another phase?” he asked as he set the tea cups on the table and prepared Lyra and Libra’s food and water bowls.
“admittedly I do not know … despite the importance of the moonlight it hasn’t been properly studied since nature is quiet unpredictable. Also it’s difficult to get the right amount, which is why the moonlight is measured as amount of time in full moonlight. Tiny amounts of moonlight have been known to help healing potions, but it’s not done because it’s not easily controlled” said Severus as the kneazles chowed down.
The boy fascinated him. It was always interesting to find someone so young who loved potions. He was however getting irritated with the werewolf. Why in Merlin’s name was this fool trailing the boy? It made everything trickier since the boy hasn’t had a chance to talk about anything personal. Every time he tries to ask the werewolf changes the subject. It was infuriating!
So Severus Snape was left no choice … he reached into his pocket and slipped one solitary drop of a potion from the vial in the pocket onto the werewolf’s half eat sandwich when Frank wasn’t looking.
The werewolf devoured the last of his meal “so Cache have you completed Trocar’s challenge for run-” Frank clutched his stomach and ran from the room screaming “be right be back!”
“whoa … what happened?” Cache blinked.
“no idea” Severus shrugged indifferently as if he didn’t just drug a werewolf.
“hope he’s ok” Harry suddenly felt awkward. Severus may have been very subtle, but it wasn’t too hard to see that the man was trying to find out details of his life. After over hearing Severus at the Leaky Cauldron he knew the man meant well for Cache, but even though he wanted to take a chance he’ll do so carefully “I’m sorry about him, Frank isn’t like this often … he hates it when people try to pry into my life”
Severus looked up from his tea slightly startled by the admission “he’s been watching out for you” he said in an even tone. This wasn’t something he expected.
Cache nodded “they all do … the vampires and werewolves I know are more caring than any human I’ve met … I’ve met only a few humans who noticed that I needed help. A muggle family and a friend from school, but everyone else ignored me … and then there’s you … what do believe is wrong with me?”
There was no point in trying to be subtle now so Severus sighed “with you? Nothing … however, I believe you were being abused and managed to escape in some way. I genuinely wish to help, but if you don’t want to delve into it I understand. I can stay as a mentor even if you don’t want to confide in me” Severus’s lip twitched into a smile as he saw the boy relax a little. Cache really did want to continue learning potions.
Lyra nuzzled Harry’s hand comfortingly “you’re right … my aunt, uncle and cousin hate anything magic. They didn’t want me and they made it very clear, but it wasn’t too bad at first in comparison. I was given the cupboard to sleep in, got meals about five times a week even though I cooked the meals when I turned four and the beating weren’t horrible, but then my magic got stronger and the accidental magic became more frequent … it got really bad when my invite to school came”
A frown threatened to appear on Severus’s lips, this was already sounding bad “what happened at school?” Severus asked getting a sick feeling that he wasn’t going to like the answer.
“no one seemed to notice that I was too small and far too skinny. I had one person constantly giving me snacks … only one and he wasn’t even one of the ones who claimed to be my friends” Cache found himself putting up his mental defenses to stop himself before he became emotional, which did not escape the professor’s notice being a master in Occlumency himself “school was ending … there was no way I could return … I knew it was life and death so I went to one person on the school staff and confessed … I was turned away and told to go home”
“what?” Severus hissed in disbelief and anger. Cache told someone about something this severe and he was turned away?! What horrid excuse of a school did he go to?
Cache chuckled humorlessly “I knew that if went back I would die and I went to … despite everything in class I went to my potion professor for help” Harry sighed and paused to think on his wording “I was ready to plead for my life if I had to, but I barely got any words out. He snapped at me and as he left I snapped in a different way … by raiding the potions pantry and library”
“I see” the potion master smirked in amusement.
“I still had a lot to figure out, but once I got out of my prison cell with wandless magic I was safe … my relatives left on a three week cruise soon after, which is when I started brewing for my life. When I got to Gringotts everything started to make sense from there. The first member of the school staff I went to was actually my magical guardian and he has been draining large amounts of money from vaults I never knew I had. The creep was also paying money to the two people who claimed to be my friends, paying a squib to report on me, paying my relatives to take care of me and the real kicker is that he placed a complex array of mind influencing charms in places I slept. Those ones were mild and left no damage, but that’s not the problem” Harry could see how tense Severus was already … what would happen if he finds out?
Severus Snape was livid to the point where it was very hard to control himself. The darkest part of his mind was bringing up the most painful methods of torture and plotting on making these fools hurting this boy to disappear. He remembered something Tom mentioned … the boy said he rescued the kneazles from an abusive squib who was friends with his aunt … he bet it was the same squib “he has connections in the ministry I take it”
The blonde sipped his tea and nodded “disgustingly deep connections … it was so bad that the goblin in charge told me to get away and stay quiet. I told him what I could about the abuse and had to go through a medical exam for the goblins. There were several other scams too to gather evidence for when we take it to court for my emancipation”
For the first time in years Severus truly laughed “that’s why you proposed to start with removing loyalty spells. If he was using spells on you he may have used it on other staff members and want to expose it. You want more people on your side for the fight so to speak” Cache smirked slightly confirming his conclusion making Severus smirk “Cache you are by far the most Slytherin person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting”
“coming from you that’s a hell of a compliment” Cache smiled, he felt immensely relieved that he was able to talk to Severus. Now he just had to get the man to willingly demonstrate the potion so he sees that he’s being controlled.
After that Frank returned feeling much better and everything was less tense from there on out, but Severus was still under the impression that the werewolf suspected him of something. Not that it mattered much since Frank had to leave soon to be ready for the full moon anyway. Once Trocar appeared the werewolf was gone.
Trocar sighed as Frank ran off and put a plate of food down. Like hell he was going to let Cache and the kneazles get away without eating “the sun may be down, but the moon isn’t going to suddenly bounce into the sky so he doesn’t need to panic. So how are things Cache?” he asked his apprentice who was stirring the cauldron’s contents.
It didn’t escape Severus’s notice that Trocar didn’t make anything for him to eat, but then that may have been why Cache brought more food for lunch so he just ate the rest of that. A glance at his apprentice revealed an apologetic smile and he knew the blonde predicted this. Severus wasn’t sure why the vampire was acting like this, but he wasn’t going to pay it any mind.
“good, I finished your challenge” Cache said as he pulled out a parchment from the bottomless green bag in his pocket as he sat down to eat. The parchment had several runes liked together and when Cache placed book he had on it the book floated up a few inches.
“the floating part is perfect, now what did you do for making an object immovable?” Trocar ignored the potion master who was testing the shutter over the window or the full moon phase so it will close properly and filled the kneazles bowls with food.
“I did this sequence attached to the floating runes” Cache activated the full sequence of runes and the book slammed down against the table making a loud bang. Severus went over to see the vampire and Cache who was now eating. He tried to pick up the book, but he couldn’t.
The vampire smiled sweetly “don’t bother Mr. Snape, you’ll just hurt yourself. Cache is using a vacuum ward to pin it to the table. That is quite clever. It’s just the reverse runes added to the floating sequence. I’m going to need to make a trickier challenge, but first Gringotts sent you this” he handed Harry the letter almost daring the potion master to ask about it’s contents. Severus kept quiet, he made his point clear to Cache and will only get involved if the boy wishes … unless he discovers who the magical guardian or muggles or squib are, then there will be hell to pay.
The disguised Potter took the letter and broke the seal. Apparently Griphook has received word from a family who needs trackers moved from their bodies “I’ll answer this now” he didn’t want to keep anyone waiting, but he didn’t want to risk doing something so delicate when tired so he asked to meet them tomorrow afternoon so he was ensuring a good sleep.
“it’s time” Severus said and Cache went over to the potion to watch as the shutters blocking the light were thrown open letting the moon light hit the potion. The potion changed many colors and the cloud like bubbles turned to steam before disappearing into the air. Cache watched in awe as the potion started glowing slightly and remained glowing after Severus snapped the shutters closed right at 30 minutes “very good … the timing was perfect. Now we let it brew at a low temperature for 18 days so we’ll be here that Tuesday to check”
Cache nodded “ok, I’ll work something out with Poppy. She says Sundays can be busy so maybe I can switch out. What should we work on while this is brewing?”
“calming potions, Veritaserum and some darker potions and poisons you should know how to brew in case you need to reverse them. It will be good practice if you happen upon a person who was inflicted with a botched potion that was brewed by an idiot” Severus sneered, he met a lot of idiots that did just that and he had to clean it up. His apprentice seemed amused by that comment, but then the boy did train at St, Mungo’s so he runs into just as many fools who were hurt by doing something stupid as there are innocent victims.
The plates were cleared, the lab cleaned save for that one potion simmering on the burner and Cache left with Trocar and his kneazles. Severus went home as well, but made note of how many experimental potions he had. Just because the potion master or anyone may have been under control it’s no excuse. He was going to set aside some potions for this magical guardian and potion professor.

Griphook scowled as he watched the scene from inside the bank. He saw the Malfoy heir being taunted by the second youngest Weasley brat, but that wasn’t the issue. Draco and his parents weren’t paying the brat any mind. It was Harry he was worried about … his client was headed towards the bank and about to cross paths with the one man who could identify him … Remus Lupin …
