Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: A little more than four years after Severus and Remus' boys Teddy and Fili are born, comes their next challenge: School…
A/n: The title comes from the meaning of Asters which is Patience and I realized I accidentally skipped the troll so I wrote it back in later than it usually occurs in canon...

Chapter 11

Bullying Severus into eating properly was difficult but thankfully he was only responsible for half of the Potions classes.

The most Remus had done was to re-enforce the meals and to take away Severus’ timeturner, he had been over using it and after seeing the first effects of being stretched Remus had enough.

Insisting that he attend meals in the Great Hall where he could see Harry as well as other rescues that Severus did worry about even if Harry was first in his mate’s heart.

It was the feast to celebrate the last day of term, many would be riding the train home for winter holidays right after breakfast.

Remus was on edge when the Defence Professor stumbled in the Great Hall, looking as if he’d been attacked.

“Troll in the dungeons. Thought you should know…”

Then the garlic stinking wizard seemed to fall to the floor.

The students began to scream.

“We’re locking down the Great Hall! I’m leaving the Head Boy and Head Girl in charge.” Filius said as he leapt off the Head Table almost flying towards the door. “Professors with me!”

Remus had sensed something up with Quirrell from the first day of term…

A glance at Severus showed that he thought there was something odd about this…

They slowed down so that they weren’t following the other professors and slipped into a shadowed alcove.

To their surprise, they saw Quirrell crawl out of the Great Hall just before the Great Hall was sealed. Then the strange wizard tore up the main staircase…

Severus and Remus scowled casting spells to hid both themselves sight and sound as well as their magic.

Neither noticed their two eldest congregating with their friends as they followed Quirrell.

Quirrell’s weirdness was as unfathomable as ever…

He began pacing a vaguely familiar stretch of the Seventh Floor Corridor.

It wasn’t until a door appeared that Remus remembered it, this was the Room of Requirement…

From inside the room they heard a growl and then Quirrell ran out looking more terrified this time.

Severus in a display of Gryffindorish rashness, hurried forward to look into the open doorway to see what frightened Quirrell.

Before Remus reached Severus his mate cried out in pain.

Remus grabbed Severus as he fell backwards, in the Room of Requirement was a Cerberus and one of its maws was dripping blood.

Severus was bleeding.

Remus cast a stunning spell at the monstrous canine before slamming the door to the dreary room that Quirrell conjured up.

Remus portkeyed the two of them to their dungeon apartment and sent a Prince elf after Andromeda.

He lay Severus in front of the hearth tearing the leg of his ruined trousers while calling for water to wash the bleeding gash.

It didn’t take long for Andromeda to arrive.

She muttered darkly under her breath before shoving Remus aside to tend the wound.

Severus was charmed into sleep; Remus was grateful for that. He hated to see his mate suffer…

Andromeda rose, wiping her brow and scowled, “What was that about? It’s not a full moon and I know that your dogs don’t bite.”

Remus doubted that Harry’s Acalia wouldn’t be capable of it if Harry were in danger but didn’t argue.

He grumbled, “A troll got into the castle somehow. One of the professors used it as a diversion to attempt to enter the Room of Requirement. Unfortunately, he encountered a Cerberus and fled. Severus was rash in his interest as to what frightened the pungent professor and ended up being bitten. Will he be alright?”

“I believe so. He should sleep until morning…” Andromeda said stiffly. “He was bitten into the muscle; I’ve done what I can to seal the wound but he’ll need to stay off it for a week to ensure it heals properly. After that I will assign exercises to restrengthen that leg.”

A Hogwarts elf appeared.

“Headmaster be coming with Young Masters and Mistresses.”

Remus had a Prince elf put Severus to bed before he went to meet his children at the door to their apartment.

Fili was bored, Teddy pouting, Nemia frightened and Sera annoyed but it was Cora and Harry’s unease that worried Remus.

“Alright what happened?” Remus frowned.

“Apparently Harry and Cora along with five others,” Filius began.

“I can imagine which five.” Remus scowled.

Filius nodded as if agreeing, “they were worried about a Hufflepuff, Sally Smith. Apparently, they were worried about her because she wasn’t in the great hall and no one had seen her since Herbology. The seven of them apprehended Zacharias Smith, Ron Weasley and Ernie Macmillan trying to lock our troll in the girls’ bathroom.

“They locked Sally in with it!” Harry protested.

“Mr. Black-Tonks and Mr. Goyle distracted the three Hufflepuff boys in a brawl leaving the other five to rescue Miss Smith. Mr. Nott rescued Miss Smith while the rest of them attempted to distract the troll. By the time Hogwarts informed me of the damage to the bathroom and we arrived, the troll was unconscious and Miss Smith rescued. Young Zacharias was actually displeased that Miss Smith was only frightened…” Filius sighed.

“I suppose they’ve all earned detentions?” Remus frowned.

“While Miss Smith was unharmed due to their efforts, the fight between the boys will have to be discussed tomorrow with their parents. It came out that Miss Smith was there because Ronald was being cruel in Herbology. You know how I feel about bullying, the three Hufflepuff boys will receive stricter detentions you can count on it. Given that these two are yours I will let you punish them as you see fit. Their hearts were in the right place even if they had to disobey. I wish that they had alerted us to Miss Smith being outside the Great Hall instead.” Filius said as he pushed Cora and Harry inside the apartment.

“Where is Sally?” Remus asked.

“In the capable hands of her elder sister Deborah. Her brother, Macmillan and Ronald were sent straight home by house elf. We’ll discuss the situation further in the morning after the students leave. We have to discern how the troll got in…”

Remus bid Filius goodnight and sent all six of his children to get ready for bed.

Harry could kip in Teddy’s bed and Cora would likely share with Nemia since Fili and Sera weren’t keen on sharing.

Remus would deal with this in the morning after talking to Severus, first he needed to ensure that the kids got ready for bed properly.

He had thought that Harry and Cora’s first year would be uneventful because Harry lacked James’ curiosity and Cora was more rule-conscious than Lily. It appeared that Fate had different plans…

XooooooX

Severus woke up with a deep ache in his leg, and he groaned.

Remus was awake and fussing, “Are you alright? Do you need a pain potion?”

“What happened? The last thing I remember was Andromeda…” Severus said throwing an arm over his eyes.

“You were bit by a Cerberus, she put you to sleep to better treat your wound. You’re to stay off it for a week because the bite was deep and tore through your muscle. After that she’ll assign exercises to strength it. You weren’t the only one to have an adventure last night. Harry was talked into finding Sally Smith probably by Dudley, they ended up finding Zacharias, Ernie Macmillan and Ron Weasley locking her in with the troll. Cora and Harry are fine. Filius escorted all six of our children after ensuring that Harry and Cora were unharmed. You were already in bed. Because they had good intentions but failed to inform a staff member about Sally being out of the Great Hall, Filius asked us to handle their punishment."

“Cora can handle Fili and Teddy’s potions lessons and Harry can clean up afterwards until the start of term.” Severus muttered darkly.

“Do you want Harry and Cora to ride the train or floo home with us?”

“Floo.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. You will eat breakfast here and take a pain potion. I will be checking with Lolly. I’ll be sending the kids in after they have breakfast.”

This was the last straw in Severus’ opinion. A troll gets into Hogwarts and Harry ends up having to face it only a month after Harry’s broom nearly killed him. There was no way that Harry was going to return after Winter Holidays. Severus had every intention of convincing Remus to keep the entire family out of Hogwarts….

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