(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
Severus’ dark eyes widened. The teen was in a basic dark blue uniform with a white apron, was completely drenched and had a leech stuck to his cheek, but he could tell who it was. “James Potter?”
XXXXXXXXXX
“Hey! It is you-ah!” The other clerk yelped as he slipped again.
Severus finally tore his shocked gaze away from James to look at the other teen, “S-Sirius Black?”
Patty immediately caught a look from Nicholas and decided to separate Severus, who looked a bit overwhelmed, “Come now, sweetheart. Let’s look around the store.” She exclaimed cheerily as she gently steered the shaken Severus away with the two floating shopping baskets following after them.
“Wait-“ James yelped as he tried to stumble after Severus clearly not getting the hint, but he quickly found out that he wasn’t going to be allowed to run off. After all, it’s hard to run off when you’re suddenly frozen in place.
“We need to talk.” Nicholas said firmly gesturing for Sirius to join them as he magically turned the frozen Potter so James was facing him. “I want you both to know that Lucius Malfoy visited our home yesterday.”
Sirius gulped nervously as he stumbled over to them, “Whatever he said we can expl-“
“You can explain why you bullied, hexed and ambushed my grandson throughout your academic careers thus far?” Nicholas asked bluntly as he released James. He wasn’t surprised by the sheepish looks and awkward silence that followed. “It seems you can’t.”
James paled slightly, “We won’t hurt him! … I mean, anymore.” He added sheepishly definitely regretting what he has done in the past.
“I know you won’t.” Nicholas said seriously, but softened a little. It was hard to stay too mad when looking at the drenched teens, who both seemed to regret what they did while doing excellent soaked kitten impressions. “Don’t misunderstand me. I truly am grateful for your actions. It is because of you I have my grandson again, but make no mistake. My grandson will never be hurt again.” He remarked sternly allowing his magic to flare effectively scaring the two teens.
“They won’t, sir.” Nicholas looked up to see another teen coming out of the back. “I’m sorry for not coming out sooner. Patty wanted me to get a lot of ingredients chopped. Anyway, I’m Remus Lupin. I go to Hogwarts too-“
“And you’re a werewolf. Interesting, I thought he was against letting creatures in …” Nicholas said bluntly in his shock, creating a second very awkward silence.
After several seconds the teens picked their jaws off the floor and panic set in, “How do you know? Please don’t tell!”
Nicholas blinked, “First off, who would I tell? Second, why would it matter if I did?” He was actually quite baffled as to why the three teens acted in such a way.
“Be … because I might be executed?” Remus answered, but was, admittedly, really confused on why that wasn’t an obvious answer.
“Huh?!” Nicholas was more confused and horrified than shocked and confused now. “That wouldn’t happen! Who told you that horrid lie?”
James twitched in annoyance, “umm I think it was the headmaster …” He answered and glanced at Remus for confirmation.
“Headmaster Dumbledore didn’t technically say that …” Remus said unsure on how to explain.
Nicholas rubbed his temple as he processed the situation, “He implied that you could be in danger and that the ministry would get involved, didn’t he?”
Remus nodded sheepishly, “With everything going on with the war it seemed like he was right to be concerned.” James has explained what his parents thought of Dumbledore and maybe that was true, but he couldn’t deny that the old wizard has looked out for him, right?
“You said Patty had you preparing ingredients, correct?” Nicholas asked with a kind smile that hid his frustration and concern. When Remus nodded the old wizard smiled, “So she hired you.”
The young werewolf blnked, “Yes. Why?”
“Patty, the very skilled witch who is even older and wiser than me, hired you and you don’t think she knew what you were a werewolf?” Nicholas commented, very amused by the teens’ eyes, which were slowly widening as understanding slowly set in. “Yes, Patty knew the second she saw you, Remus. In fact, she hired you because you are a werewolf. I take it that you didn’t know that many potion ingredients are treated by werewolves because it increases the potency, did you? I’m not surprised. It’s not a well known fact especially to students or even many older light witches and wizards.”
Remus tilted his head in confusion, “but what about what people say about …” he let his sentence trail off not sure how to put all the fears and rumors into words.
The three teens watched as the older wizard flicked his wand and a silvery hawk flew both out of the wand and the shop, “You aren’t entirely wrong, but the cases for werewolf executions are only for lone unstable werewolves who are not underage. You would never be considered for it. Yes, werewolves have gained a slightly darker stigma lately, but it’s mainly because of the reason you were hired.”
“You mean because his kind can help make stronger potions?” James asked curiously.
“Yes.” Nicholas nodded, “we are in a war. Dark wizards know more about werewolves having that ability than lighter wizards so when people see werewolves being coaxed over by Voldemort they don’t fully understand the consequences. Light wizards already believe werewolves are dark or evil and going to Voldemort just confirms it to them so they begin pushing away creatures even more. It’s a mess of politics and misinformation.”
Sirius put a finger to his chin and struck a thinking pose, “Light wizards? So does the headmaster not-“
Patty rushed over to them almost from out of nowhere startling the teens, but she seemed too concerned to notice, “Nicholas, Severus isn’t feeling well. He suddenly got quite dizzy and he seems a touch feverish.”
“Oh dear! I knew we were pushing it by doing so much shopping!” Nicholas remarked worriedly as he followed Patty through the maze of bookshelves and over to where Severus was. “You ok?” He asked as he kneeled next to his grandson who was next to his floating baskets and sitting in a random chair that must’ve been summoned by Patty.
Severus nodded tiredly, “I’m ok. Just …” he tried to get up out of the chair, but a second wave of dizziness made him abandon that.
Nicholas smiled and gently placed a reassuring hand on Severus’ back, “Just give yourself a minute to rest. We’re not in a rush.” He saw. Severus’ eyes finally look up, but then quickly dart away from something behind him. Nicholas cast a glance over his shoulder and twitched as his saw more than just Patty. In fact, Remus, Sirius and James were hovering right behind him. Yes, they looked concerned, but it was a bit much. “Don’t you boys have jobs to do?” He asked hoping they’d give Severus some space.
Patty spotted the teens and huffed. “Yes they do. Back to cleaning up you two!” She ordered while pulling the leech off of James’ cheek and giving it to them to put back in the tank. “Remus, be a dear and help me ring up Severus’ items.”
“Umm yes, Patty.” Remus said though he wasn’t sure if he should just leave when Severus was clearly ill. If it wasn’t for Severus’ grandpa being there he might’ve stayed, but since Nicholas was there and Patty has already disappeared amongst the book and ingredients laden shelves he decided to follow his boss. With the charmed baskets following him he navigated the vast array of shelves and joined Patty at the checkout counter up front.
“Now Severus was telling me about a project he was working on for stopping pain and that it will require lots of research so put one of our special charmed notebooks in for him. Poor thing, I hope he gets through his treatment soon. He’ll feel so much better.” Patty said as she started to remove the contents of the first basket.
Remus nodded absentmindedly as he took a charmed notebook from the display on the counter. “Got it. What treatment do you mean?” He remembered James saying Severus was badly hurt, but those wounds should’ve been healed quickly, right?
“He doesn’t look like he had a kind life … I don’t know for sure, but considering his physical condition and his symptoms I suspect a high strength nutrition potion. Of course, that’s a personal matter!” Patty exclaimed figuring she shouldn’t be talking about this with Remus especially after Nicholas’ reaction to the other teens. “When you’re done helping me pack could you give James and Sirius a hand?”
The young werewolf chuckled when he heard a splashing sound in the back again, “Yes, Patty.” Remus decided to see if what Severus’ grandpa said was real so he took a shaky breath to calm down. “What should I do on those days I can’t come in?” He asked trying to hint at those full moon nights without actually saying it out loud.
Patty hummed thoughtfully as she carefully packed away a few jars of ingredients, “That would be up to you. I have special accommodations for full moon nights or I have some werewolf friends who would be happy to help you during those times, but if you have something set up already then there’s no reason to change that. We can talk about it later with your guardian.” She said casually as she put a shrunken cauldron in the bag.
“Yeah … ok.” Remus said, a little stunned by the casual response. He knew his father wouldn’t be pleased though and that this job probably wouldn’t last.
After shaking the image of his furious father out of his mind Remus focused on the items Severus wanted. As he took the jars out and packed them a thought occurred to him. If most people don’t know about what werewolves contribute then does Severus? If the Slytherin was planning on curing werewolves then he probably doesn’t, right? What potion lover would take such steps?
Those distracting thoughts didn’t stop him from pulling the last two items, but it was those items that caught his attention and made him wonder. The items in question were two books. One was titled ‘All the Healing Herbs and How to Enhance Them’ and the other was ‘Plants & Creatures’. They were curious titles and a thought started to develop, but was quickly crushed by the sound of Patty’s voice.
“All done?” Patty asked.
Remus looked up and blinked, “Hm? Oh, right! Yes, everything is ready!”

Euphemia and Fleamont entered the wizarding bank and immediately went to the check in counter. After the usual bloody sign-in method the goblin escorted them to a different type of transport that was hidden behind an enchanted stone wall. Instead of the classic Gringotts boat they stepped into a black, cage style, elevator.
“Your invitation, Lord Potter.” The goblin demanded.when he opened the elevator and let them in.
“Invitation? Oh right!” Fleamont chuckled sheepishly as he fished the Gringotts letter out of the pocket of his robes and gave it to the goblin.
The goblin took the parchment with a subtle eye roll and closed the elevator door with only the Potters inside, “You will be descending to the chosen courtroom. Do you have what you were asked to bring?”
“Yes.” Euphemia exclaimed and pulled the vial holding the copy of her son’s memory out of her robes.
“Very good.” The goblin nodded as he looked at the vial through the bars of the bird cage styled elevator. “Be aware that you’ll be asked to make a magical vow to confirm the authenticity.” The goblin sneered in approval clearly pleased that neither the Lord or Lady seemed concerned by that rule. With those few comments out of the way the letter was rolled up and pressed into the keyhole on the elevator door.
All the Potters saw was the parchment burst into flames before the elevator lurched to life, but just before the elevator lowered too far into the darkness they swore they saw a key in the same hand that the goblin had the parchment in. Of course, they barely had a glimpse of it so they weren’t sure. Right now the only thing they were sure of was that it was very dark in that elevator and they were slowly descending for several minutes. Finally, they started feeling the elevator come to a stop.
“Oh, finally!” Fleamont exclaimed when the sound of stones moving in the wall was followed by light flooding the elevator. “Why did they choose a courtroom so far down?!”
Euphemia shushed her husband in amusement as Fleamont eagerly raced out of the elevator once the door opened, “You’re making a scene, sweetie.” She said while stepping off and letting the stones of the wall shift to hide the exit.
“Hm?” Fleamont blinked and noticed that they were in a room with several other people and goblins who were seated in gorgeous carved wooden bleachers that wrapped around most of a pentagram etched in stone on the floor. “Sorry.” He said sheepishly to the startled people staring at him as he followed his wife down the stairs to find a seat for themselves.
“Over here!” A familiar voice called out to them.
“Mathias! Lord Prince!” Euphemia exclaimed happily as she and Fleamont moved over to the healer who was with a group of three wizards on the far end of the bleachers. “I’ve never been to a Gringotts trial so this should be interesting … hello! I’m Euphemia Potter. Who are you?” She asked cheerfully despite spotting Dumbledore of all people seated with the minister right across from them.
“I’m Lucius Malfoy. Severus’ spy.” Lucius said before politely bowing to the woman. He, of course, neglected to mention that her son was dangerously close to getting maimed by him.
Euphemia smiled, “How is Severus do-“
“That will be talked about soon. It’s starting so let’s get situated.” Mathias said when he saw two cages being carried, or technically flown, in by two enchanted winged skeletons of relatively small dragons. The skeletons lowered cages to the floor, but instead of backing away they perched on to the tops of the cages terrifying the occupants. In that instant Sebastian saw not just his daughter, but a subtle look of fear on Dumbleore’s before it surprisingly turned smug and then vanished into a calm air. What was the wizard planning?
A goblin used the vertebrae of the skeleton on the cage holding the female prisoner as stairs and casually walked up to stand on the skull, which seemed to be fitted with a perfectly sized purple plush seat right where the nasal cavity was. “I am Judge RazorBlood and I will be overseeing this case. You are all here to present either evidence for or against the muggle, Tobias Snape, and his magical wife, Ellen-“
“It’s Eileen-“ The caged witch shrank back in fear as the skeletal creature on Tobias’ cage growled harshly at her.
The goblin sat in the plush purple nasal seat on the skeletal dragon, which obediently stayed rather still, and cleared his throat, “As I was saying. Tobias Snape and Ellen Prince Snape are facing several charges including child abuse, attempted line theft, animal abuse,” the goblin comfortingly patted the dragon skull under him when it growled. It quite possibly was offended by the charge. “As well as, tax fraud, murder and conspiracy to murder. The victim is Ellen’s son and Tobias’ step son and nephew.”
Lucius’ eyes narrowed, “That’s intriguing.” He murmured under his breath and glanced at Sebastian. It was faint, but he could see the surprise in the Lord Prince’s eyes. Even the muggle looked shocked despite his fear.
“These charges also extend to the co-conspirators, which is why we asked the minister to be present as a witness.” Judge Razorback’s eyes zeroed in on Dumbledore. “Would the person of interest, one Albus Dumbledore, please approach the cages.”
