Chapter 12
Severus and Nina were left standing alone in the hall next to the main entrance. Severus wanted to put his arms around her, pull her close to him, hold her and not let go.

She was looking at him. A look of uncertainty on her face now. Her arms hung limply by her sides. �Did he mean what he had told her in the Forest? Did he really care for her? He had said he loved her. Did he mean it?�

As she was thinking this last, Severus reached out for her and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her to him. His cheek resting on the top of her head.

Nina brought her arms up and around this strange dark man. She felt safe, warm, comforted. No one, man or boy, had ever held her like this. Never made her feel like this. She wanted to stay this way forever.

That is how Albus, Minerva, Harry, Ron and Hermione found them as they all emerged from behind the stone gargoyle that hid the entrance to the Headmasters office.

The two boys looked disgusted to see Nina and Severus with their arms around each other. �Uggh! What�s he doing to her?� Ron muttered. Hermione felt a bit uncomfortable to see the Potions Master like this. He looked so�.vulnerable? Minerva and Albus did not look surprised at all. In fact Albus looked pleased.

The couple were unaware of anyone at that moment until Albus gave a discrete cough. �Ahem�

Severus let go of Nina immediately and looked up, startled. Nina didn�t want to let go and was a bit confused as to why he had suddenly pulled away from her like that. She let her arms fall from around him, looking up to ask what was wrong and noticed he was looking rather embarrassed, but he took hold of her hand when he saw the hurt on her face. She relaxed again.

�Severus. Miss Manohel. It is good to see you back safe. I take it that you are both once again, unharmed?�

�Yes Headmaster. We are unhurt.�

�How did you get away from the spiders? I mean they don�t let go once they�ve got you.�

Hermione kicked Ron to shut him up.

�And I wish everyone would stop bloody kicking me every time I open my mouth.�

�Twenty points from Griffindor Mr Weasley, for unnecessary use if bad language.�

Ron stuffed his hands in his pockets and sulked.

Kali appeared and ran to her mistress. Miss Nina. You is back. I is very angry with yous. You is not to keep running off and going into danger all the time. And you is not to send Kali away when she is helping you. You is a mess.� Nina looked at Kali, feeling very ashamed. �I�m sorry Kali. Really, I am.�

Kali�s admonishment of Nina seemed to have broken the ice between the group as they watched the little elf fussing over her.

�Perhaps you would be kind enough to allow us to come to your rooms Miss Manohel. I am sure That Kali is determined that you shall be confined there for the foreseeable future.�

�Yes Sir.�

Nina headed for her rooms, still gripping Severus� hand. He had no choice but to go alongside of her. Strangely he did not mind. The others followed them down to the dungeons.

�You�ve put her in the dungeons, next to him?� Ron asked the Headmaster while avoiding another kick from Hermione and getting a hard poke from her instead. �Oof! Stop it Hermione.�

�Ron you��

�It is alright Miss Granger. We shall explain shortly.

They entered Nina�s rooms and Kali whipped her straight off through a door so that she could check that her charge was really unhurt.

Ten minutes later an obviously well scrubbed and rosy cheeked Nina emerged from the bedroom in dressing gown and slippers, and her hair shining.

The three adults and three student were all sitting round a blazing fire eating sandwiches and cakes and drinking tea. Extra armchairs had come from somewhere and once again the only free seat was on the sofa, next to Severus.

But Nina was glad of this and immediately went to sit down.

Kali was there in an instant, pressing a plate with a mountain of sandwiches into her hands and telling her to eat.

Harry and Ron chuckled and Severus raised his eyebrows. He knew that Nina could eat large amounts at one time but he thought that even she would not be able to get through all of those.

�You must eat. You is missing dinner and wasting away.� Kali stood with her arms folded and a stern expression on her face.

�Kali I can�t eat all of��

�Oh but you must. It would be poor manners to offend her after all the trouble she has gone to preparing this for you. Did you not know that?�

Nina scowled at the smirking Potions Master beside of her. Her lips pouting.

Severus thought she looked adorable.

�Yes, well, shall we begin Headmaster.� Professor MacGonagall put in.

�Indeed. I had been hoping to save this for the meeting at Order headquarters so that I would not have to repeat myself. But after this evenings events, it is clear that certain of us will not leave me alone until they have some answers.� He looked to the Golden trio as he said this, his eyes twinkling.

�Yeah. Hermione said that I might not have to fight Voldemort after all.�

�Harreee.� Hermione shot him a look that said, �You and your big mouth.

�It was just a thought Headmaster, I�I�

�It is alright Miss Granger. And you may be correct in your assumption.� The three students looked at him and then to Nina.

�Heesh vat ugly boke right?� Nina had spoken through a mouthful of food.

�What?� Harry asked her, laughing.

Swallowing her food Nina tried again. Ugly, red eyes and the dry skin problem who thinks he�s something special?�

Eh! How d�you know what he�?�

�They have met Mister Potter.�

Harry and his friends looked at Severus.

�What? When? How?�

�The previous evening, when I was summonsed. It would seem that Miss�Nina and I have a bond that links us. I believe it was because of this bond that she was instantly brought to me, and directly into the presence of the Dark Lord.�

�And he didn�t kill you?�

�Obviously not Mister Weasley.�

Hermione, who had kept quiet so far, turned to the Potions Master.

�So what�.what did happen?�

�After our initial surprise at the sudden appearance of a young woman in a pink nightgown� Severus could not resist putting that piece of information in and making her blush. �the Dark Lord wanted to know who she was. After telling him to �Get Lost� was the phrase I believe you used, and after giving her name only as �Nina�, she transformed into a rather large serpent, had a conversation with the Dark Lord, in Parceltongue, told Nagini to leave, totally incensed the Dark Lord, ended a Crucio on one of his servants, blocked a Crucio from herself and me, went on to do the same with the Avada, which was sent by both the Dark Lord and his servant simultaneously, and brought us back to the Headmasters office. Does that answer your questions Miss Granger?� Severus had said all of this to a totally captive audience. He had spoken in a soft, deep voice as he did when he was giving a lecture to his class. �Have I missed anything?� He asked Nina.

�I don�t think so.�

They both looked at the group in front of them.

Albus already knew most of what had transpired that evening so was unaffected.

Minerva looked ready to have kittens, Hermione was wide eyed and wide mouthed as she stared at Nina, Ron coming a close second to her.

But Harry, Harry was out cold and on the floor. He looked to have just slid down out of his chair and stayed where he had landed.

No one moved so Nina got up and put her hand to Harry�s cheek, he opened his eyes to see her smiling face peering down at him.

�Are you alright?� She asked him as she held out a hand to help him up.

�What? Yeah. What happened?�

�You fainted.� She told him.�

�I what? He took her hand and got up.

�I didn�t faint. I must have fallen asleep or something.�

�You fainted Mister Potter. Something of a habit of yours I believe.�

Harry glared at the Potions Master for a moment but he didn�t argue.

�You actually told Voldemort to get lost? To his face?�

�Erm, yeah.�

�You� he really tried to kill you? Both of you? With the Avada?�

�Yeah. Well, him and the other one. Wormwood or something I think he was called.�

�Bloody Hell. Wormtail Harry. She means Wormtail. Ron was beetroot red by now.

�Correct Mister Weasley. And another ten points from Griffindor for your language.�

�Bugger!� Was Ron�s reply.

�So that means� Hermione took over �That Voldemort can�t hurt you? How come you were not killed Professor? I�.I mean not that I wanted you to be killed or anything. I�.I just wondered how you�

Before Severus could dock any more points Albus interrupted. �More tea I think. Now Mister Potter, Miss Granger, Mister Weasley, As far as we can tell, Nina is immune to all hexes, curses, any spell that is directed at her seems to have no effect. Including the killing curse. At the time the Crucio and Avada curses were cast, I believe that Nina here was touching you was she not Severus?�

�Correct Headmaster. So saving my life along with her own.�

Harry was looking at her, studying her as his mind tried to sort through the possibilities.

�But how? I mean how come it doesn�t affect you Nina, or anyone your touching right? That means you can Kill him and he can�t do anything to hurt you. You could kill him right now and you wouldn�t be in any danger.� Harry was excited now. He was looking at Nina, his eyes wild.

Nina was frightened. �Kill someone. She had never killed anyone. Ever.�

She looked at Severus. Her whole bearing was pleading with him to do something. Make this boy shut up.

�Enough Mister Potter.� He bellowed as he got up and took hold of her shoulders. She was shaking.

As everyone looked from them to Harry and back to them, he gently led her back to the sofa. He sat down, drawing her down with him and keeping her close to him, her head against his chest. He kept his arms around her protectively.

Albus took over. �Mister Potter. So much has happened in such a short space of time. Nina has not been with us for less then a week and did not even know any of this existed until she arrived here. I am sure that you, of all people can understand what a shock all of this is to her.�

Harry looked at the girl sobbing against the Potions Master.

�He remembered alright. Learning, from a young age, that he was the Wizarding worlds only hope. Facing Voldemort when he was only eleven. Again when he was twelve, then fourteen and fifteen. Each time he had been lucky to survive. Each time he had been terrified. Thinking that this time he would be killed. Losing hope. And now here was this girl. How old was she? Who is she? What is she? And�.What? What now?� He slumped into his chair. �Nina?�

She tuned her head to him, not meeting his eyes, holding a little tighter to the man beside her. The man who made her feel safe. She felt his answering squeeze.

Nina?� Harry said again. �I�m really sorry. I didn�t mean to frighten you. This is all such a shock. Can�.can we start again?� He held out his hand hopefully. �Friends?�

All of them watched, smiling as Nina stood. Severus reluctantly let her go. She took a step towards Harry and shook his hand. He grinned down at her, pulled her to him and hugged her. Minerva and Hermione both tearful and Albus and Ron both were grinning.

Severus however was neither of those things.

�How dare that boy hold His Nina like that. I am the Only one who should hold her�

Only Albus saw the dangerous gleam in the Potion Masters eyes as they flashed jealously at Harry. �It would seem that Severus is definitely smitten with young Nina.� He thought happily to him self. �perhaps Kali�s two must be one� is not so far out after all. He certainly hoped so.

When Harry finally let her go, Hermione hugged her and when Ron stepped forward Severus shot him a look that said �Don�t You Dare!�

Ron ignored him for once and hugged her anyway.

When Nina turned to sit down Severus� face was back to its neutral expression.

While Severus was explaining to them what had happened in the Forbidden Forest that evening, Nina had fallen asleep. Her head was on his lap, her finger curled around his thigh, and he was gently stroking her hair. None of them had noticed. Even Severus had not realised that she was asleep, or that he was stroking her hair. When Severus had finished his tale, Minerva nodded at Nina.

�I think that we should leave. It seems that Miss Manohel is asleep.�

The group got up quietly when they realised

As they all filed out of the door Albus turned back to Severus. �She is beautiful is she not Severus? It is difficult not to love her.�

Severus scowled at him for a moment and then his expression softened.

�I would say that it is impossible not to love her Albus. And yes, she is, very beautiful.�

Albus closed the door behind him, leaving Severus to think on those words. He carried on stroking her hair as he thought of all that had happened in the short time that this young woman had been at Hogwarts. �In less then a week, this wonderful creature has come into my life, our lives, and she has captured my heart like no other.� How he did not know? He was a confirmed bachelor and had intended to stay that way. And now�

Carefully he picked her up in his arms and stood. �She hardly weighs a thing with all that she eats.�

Kali appeared and he carried her through to the bedroom. The covers were turned down ready so he placed her gently down on the mattress, and watched as Kali removed her dressing gown and covered her up. The elf smiled knowingly as Severus bent and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Then she followed him out of the bedroom.

�You is in love with the Miss and the Miss is loving you too. You two is

being one when the time is coming.

Severus merely nodded at the elf and left. He was in total agreement.
