Chapter 10

Severus’ arms were like chains on Harry; Remus woke up early and was a bit annoyed that Severus wasn’t cuddled up to him.

“Papa let go!”

“No!”

Remus groaned, “Let the kid go, he probably has to go to the loo.”

“But…” Severus grumbled.

“He’s eleven, not a baby.”

“He,”

“Severus…” Remus growled.

“Fine…” Severus pouted.

Harry wiggled out and scurried off to the bathroom.

“He’s going back to the Slytherin dormitories tonight.” Remus said firmly.

“No. I can protect him better here.” Severus said crossing his arms.

“Severus, I didn’t say that was negotiable. You can’t coddle him. We already decided that.”

“That was before someone tried to kill him with Dark Magic.”

“Really? What about the night Lily and James died then?” Remus retorted.

“You do not get to use Lily like that, she was,” Severus bit his tongue.

“Your first ever friend,”

“And my sister damn it. Granted I didn’t know when she was alive but Harry’s my blood too.”

“You can’t protect him like this; you’ll destroy everything we’ve done so far.” Remus said firmly.

“Hogwarts is supposed to be the safest place after Gringotts and look what happened! I am starting to think that Harry would be safer at Merrivale.” Severus said stubbornly.

“I don’t want to go home papa.” Harry whispered. “I want to go back to the dungeons. I’m supposed to sleep there…”

“Don’t you think you’d be safer with me?” Severus frowned.

“Severus!” Remus growled.

They had done everything they could to increase Harry’s confidence and courage so he could be where he couldn’t see Severus and still believe he was safe.

Remus didn’t want all of that undone because Severus wanted to coddle Harry…

“What?” Severus hissed.

“Your reaction isn’t healthy! Ted would be furious with you, wanting to protect Harry is fine but we can’t hide him away to do it.” Remus glowered.

“Can I go back to the dungeons now?” Harry asked quietly.

“No.”

“Yes,” Remus nodded, “you may. Just stay close to Theo and Draco.”

“Thanks dad…” Harry showed them a weak smile before slipping away.

“Remus how can you just let him go like that? Who knows who might attack him?” Severus hissed.

“The castle has stronger protections than the grounds. The dungeons were likely warded by the founders themselves, if not by Slytherin alone. He would be far safer there. Merrivale is fine for holidays but he needs to mingle with his peers, he has to learn to be strong himself. I don’t want to let him go either but eventually he will leave the den and he must be strong enough to survive where I can’t protect him.” Remus said sternly. “If you’re that worried we can have our house elves watch him in shifts.”

“I don’t agree.” Severus fumed.

“You maybe Lord Prince and I, your consort but you agreed to my dominance. I won’t let you destroy Harry’s recovery by coddling him.”

“Fine!” Severus dressed via charms and stormed off.

Remus was content to let him leave as long as he didn’t interfere with Harry…

XooooooX

Severus had taken to ignoring Remus and refusing to attend meals in the Great Hall.

Any spare moment, he spent in a potions lab.

To Remus’ slight annoyance, Severus’ defiance was growing worse and while he doubted Severus had broken the rules completely, it was clear that he was bending or at least skirting them.

He would have to take him to task soon if Severus didn’t make the choice himself.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
