(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Last Time:
Gellert noticed that the Potters asked for one particular piece of information right after the war. They asked if any children died in the war … because of the potions they had to answer. …

Wyatt scowled as he watched the director, Severus and the aurors from a distance away from Decoction. Trying to kill Severus to destroy the director seemed like a good idea. Either they investigate and find Harry wasn’t involved or they investigate and find that Harry has been making advances towards Severus, which were rejected. Even if Harry was found innocent Wyatt truly thought Severus and Harry were on opposing sides and this incident would add fuel to a fire. Maybe even get them to hate each other. It is Harry’s responsibility as the director of Decoction and the employer of the UK representative to protect Severus, which he wasn’t doing properly. Everything should be crumbling for Harry Minitree, but after seeing what happened in the car from where he stood it was very clear he read the signs wrong.
“fucking hell … I can’t stay here now. I’ll need to use the potion again” he cursed hatefully as he turned to race away. When he was just far enough away so no would sense his apparating he vanished and reappeared in a fancy mansion. On the door was a black Decoction mark “I worked too hard helping that idiot Martin oblivate all those potion masters to go down now … I would be the head of Decoction if it wasn’t for him forgetting to put a ‘tongue tied’ spell on that bitch before she blabbed her ideas to that brat. I suppose it’s a miracle he managed to oblivate himself, but because of his scandal I was pushed aside for some young upstart who was a former fucking squib!” Wyatt ranted in a blind fury as he stormed into the house.
During his rage he destroyed a table and the nearest chairs with his wand leaving a dent in the wall. After calming down enough to think he ran to a cupboard and pulled out a large bottle of brown muck, which he poured into three containers. He searched his breast pocket for a little packet. In the packet was a gold hair and a black hair.
“one to hide as I get the things I need. If they believe witnesses that say they saw the director try to kill Snape then maybe I can salvage this. I just need to set the pieces, catch them both when they’re alone so I can mess with their memories and let everything play out from there” Wyatt reasoned. He dropped the black hair into the muck and took a swig. It took only seconds for him to change into Trent “I’ll give Snape this it was impossible to get any kind of sample from him. Guess working as a spy and helping kill a dark lord does give you some skills, but the director isn’t so skilled” ‘Trent’ smirked as he dropped the blonde hair into second bottle filled with the Poly Juice Potion. He took the three bottles with him before leaving to gather whatever things he needs …

Heather, the head healer, came into Harry’s office and her eyes widened when she saw the Aurors “oh my, did something happen?”
“someone attempted to kill Severus” Harry commented knowing he couldn’t reveal much more than that because of the investigation “this is the Decoction property that Severus stays at” he said as he turned the computer screen towards the Aurors.
“very good we’ll put a guard there” the head Auror said as he wrote down the address that was displayed on the screen and Harry went back to looking for Wyatt’s information.
“guard? Is it that serious? Is Severus alright? … does this have anything to do with that emergency broadcast warning everyone that the Witching ball statue is down?” Heather questioned in a panic clearly quite worried for Severus. As the head healer for Decoction, which is a 24/7 research facility, she would stop by for both day and night shifts especially in the case where a lab is actively testing. This is why she was still there despite it being quite late at night. Healers can’t sleep at Decoction or take more than one shift in a row unless they’re doing a lab test that should be watched over night, which doesn’t happen too often. In this case so many people signed up for Severus’s potion that Harry assigned more than one lab to handle it and allowed extended hours. This restriction is mainly because healers need to be well rested and alert in case there’s an accident and a potion master needs help, but there are reasonable exceptions.
Harry gave her a reassuring smile “yes to each of those questions. Severus wasn’t really phased though. In fact he’s back in his lab tending to his potion” he commented before turning back to the files he was searching through on the computer “that’s strange … here is Mr. Wyatt’s file, but there’s no address”
The Aurors took a look at the file information on the screen and frowned “it doesn’t say, but are you aware of any friends or family he could be staying with?”
“ummm … when I was just a potion master I remember him having a friend , but that was a long time ago … ” Harry trailed off as he tried to recall who it was.
“Martin Smith” Heather answered “it was right when you started working here to get research for the Bylines. I remember the former director being good friends with Alex Wyatt, but there was some sort of falling out. Mr. Smith however is clearly not in any position to help anyone. Besides Mr. Smith lived in the mansion property in the northern forest that’s owned by Decoction”
“mansion?” Harry and the Aurors all looked a bit confused.
“ma’am we don’t know of any mansion. We arrested Mr. Smith here in this office. I was one of the aurors there. His residence was never discovered and the obliviate he cast on himself didn’t help” the head Auror explained as the director opened am magical cabinet behind the desk and searched for any magical file for a property that resembled a mansion.
“I had no idea” Heather frowned at the baffling explanation “if I knew I would’ve said something. I spent those months on maternity leave and never really kept up with the case and don’t call me ma’am. I’m Heather” she pointed out making the Aurors flinch and apologize as Harry continued looking in the cabinet through the files like the ones Adina offered as options for a home to Severus.
“there’s no mansion here in the cabinet. All properties here, with keys still in the picture or not, are only small one to three bedrooms. The bigger homes for potion masters with families are no where near a forest … it’s possible the file was removed. As the former director Mr. Smith could have done that if he wanted a place to hide or Wyatt if Mr. Smith allowed him to be a part of the wards” Harry commented.
“I see. Heather, do you know any details about where this mansion is?” the head Auror asked.
“yes, it was the property the farthest away from Decoction on Lacewing road in the warded area of Spearmint. I remember because the roads reminded me of potion ingredients, but I don’t understand how no one told the authorities. I couldn’t have been the only one aware of this, right?” Heather asked curious as to how such a big oversight was made.
“considering obliviate spells were used it’s possible more memories were wiped away than we originally thought. Mr. Smith could’ve tried to hide the mansion’s whereabouts. We’ll check and see if we can find any trace of Mr. Wyatt there. Even if we can’t find Mr. Wyatt we’ll at least clearer the property so you can take charge of it again director. Thank you for your cooperation” the head Auror said before turning to leave with his fellow auror.
“there’s one thing you should know” Harry said making both Aurors stop to listen “not long ago we experienced a security issue resulting in leaked information. I can’t say for sure who was responsible, but I know a Poly Juice potion was involved. If Mr. Wyatt was involved then I felt you should know” he said not feeling right about using ‘Mr.’ when it comes to Wyatt. It just seemed to give him more respect than he deserved, but as the director he couldn’t speak ill of a potion master in front of Aurors. When they proved Wyatt was or wasn’t involved then he can deal with the respect issue.
“thank you. We will take that into consideration” the aurors finally left the office.
Heather shook her head in disbelief as the situation started sinking in “Harry are they looking for Wyatt because he’s involved?”
“he’s the only person locally who has given Severus a hard time so they want to talk to him” Harry answered as he leaned against his desk feeling tired.
“do you think he was involved with what happened with Severus or Smith?” she asked worriedly.
“maybe … there was always a theory that Smith had a partner, but with the obliviates nothing was proven. Perhaps that falling out you mentioned was a ploy to avoid suspicion in case one was caught, but we can’t know for sure” Harry said wondering how this will turn out for all involved.
The next day he received a call from the Auror Department. Someone was spotted leaving the mansion. This person bolted the second he saw them so the Aurors went to apprehend him. The man, who matched Trent’s description, was wounded in the leg, but just barely escaped. Since Decoction is part of the investigation the blood was sent to an independent potion lab instead. The results proved what he suspected. It was Wyatt under the effects of a Poly Juice Potion. To prevent confusion the real Trent agreed to have a temporary tracking spell placed on him so he won’t be hurt while they search for Wyatt. To help further Harry locked Wyatt’s magic out of the Decoction wards and by extension all the properties owned by Decoction.

Of course after the near fatal incident with the car Severus decided not to venture out of his lab for the next few days. Tinsel was nice enough to go get him any clothes or any showering things he needs so he felt refreshed each morning. He hasn’t seen Harry, but according to Trent and Amy, who he eats breakfast with, Harry might have his hands full with that fool Wyatt, but Severus wasn’t going to let that worry him for now because today was the final day of his potion ….
“thank Merlin” Severus exclaimed in relief as he checked the cooling potion. It settled perfectly and it was time to test it. As it finished cooling he quickly brewed a large batch of his rebreaking potion since the testing for that was going so well. He bottled his potions into several small vials and went to the check in counter with the tray. After getting signed in and dropping off his potion for labs 20 and 23 he went to the first floor conference room to await the healers who will be in charge of this next potion. He felt a feeling of pride as the new team of healers came into the room and gave him their undivided attention “I came to present a potion to help remove marks that were created by dark magic. Before you mention it, yes, there is a toxic quality to this potion due to a mix of two ingredients, which is why I’m trying this two ways. Topically and orally. I will only take a fraction of one of these vials since I’m not sure what affect it will have, but I know it will be toxic”
Just like last time he had a few other questions before the team of excited healers from lab 45 helped him to a seat in their lab to begin testing. Admittedly Severus made this potion for selfish reasons, but it turns out there were people who could benefit from this potion. With that in mind he took a small sip of the vial handed to him and to his surprise he opened his eyes to see worried healers. Apparently he blacked out for an hour and stopped breathing for a full minute.
“it’s seems drinking this potion it not going to work” Severus commented feeling very dizzy.
“yes the toxicity would make this undrinkable at any amount, but it did have an affect …” the healer speaking trailed off nervously as she seemed to ponder how to explain what exactly happened. She clearly just gave up and just asked another healer for a mirror.
Severus’s eyes widened as he saw his younger face in the reflection “I … I look 20 … how the hell?” he frowned as he noticed his clothes were slightly looser than they were before, but his heart sank when he saw the ugly death mark still latched like a leech to that spot on his arm “lets try topical while I’m still sitting”
“you’re going to stay seated a while Severus. That wasn’t a reaction that can be casually brushed off, but you’re right we should try the topical” said the older healer there. Despite the fact that it was a horrific reaction Severus was annoyed with the verdict. Harry leaves tomorrow morning so he wants to spend as much time as possible with him before they both leave. Like hell he’d let Harry go through that alone.
“very well” Severus reluctantly agreed though he tried to remain polite. It wasn’t so bad though since the topical method, which was a bit painful, did remove the curse mark! Severus felt his heart soar as he looked at the smooth blemish free skin and smiled, but the healers insisted he stayed under their observation for a while longer. So there he was, waiting impatiently on a hospital like cot surrounded by concerned healers, just watching the clock’s hand tick away slowly. He hoped he’d still have time to see Harry …

Albus looked at his phone as if contemplating something. That something had to do with Severus, Harry and Remus. A part of him knew he should’ve told Remus about his cub actually being alive, but he couldn’t betray Harry’s feelings. Now it was time to bring up the subject since Harry will be visiting St. Mungo’s tomorrow. Harry will have to go there to oversee the treatments’ progress and help, but that may not be the best place for a reunion. This may be awkward for Severus, but perhaps meeting at Spinner’s End or Hogwarts would be best.
With a sigh he picked up the phone and called Harry …
Harry’s voice came through the speaker “Albus? Is something wrong?”
“no not really … you were planning on coming tomorrow right?”Albus asked trying to tactfully ease into the subject.
“that’s the plan. I’m going to floo over around 9:00” Harry said.
“I see. In that case I need to talk to you about Remus. He will know the second he smells you and considering what he’s been lead to believe … I believe it would be best if I warn him about you coming” Albus explained.
An moment of silence passed before Harry spoke again “tell him … he should know”
“ok, I will” Albus said gratefully knowing this wasn’t an easy thing for Harry to talk about. After a quick goodbye he apparated to Spinner’s End. It was late in the afternoon when he appeared and knocked on the door. To his surprise a shirtless Peter answered the door “Peter! Good to see you again”
Peter blushed lightly “hello Albus I … was just helping Remus”
“oh?” Albus glanced down at the young wizards well toned abs before looking back up with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes “and what are you helping him with?” he asked so innocently that it was clear he suspected something.
“nothing like that! …” Peter yelped though it was clear to Albus that the healer wouldn’t mind going that far with the werewolf “I was only helping with painting”
“that’s good to know. Where is Remus anyway? There’s something he should know” Albus said a bit more seriously than he was a moment ago.
“yeah I’ll get him” Peter said as he let Albus in and went to get Remus who was upstairs.
When a blushing werewolf came down the stairs Albus smiled “the views here are excellent”
Remus looked a bit confused, but than blushed even harder than before he realized Albus was talking about Peter’s abs “y-yes excellent views … so … umm what’s this about?”
The headmaster sighed as he sat down on the couch “you’re going to want to sit down for this … remember when you said that the a Potters claimed their son was killed by Death Eaters?”
“yes, why?” a nervous Remus asked. A sinking feeling in his gut told him this going to be life changing news …

Harry was in the attic working on a personal project that looked to be figures for a future potion “this will work. I just need to wait for the next time samples are available” he said as he circled the name of a plant on the Herbology report. Suddenly his cellphone began ringing and was a bit worried when he saw that it was Albus who usually texts “Albus? Is something wrong?” he said when he answered the phone.
“no not really … you were planning on coming tomorrow right?”Albus asked.
“that’s the plan. I’m going to floo over around 9:00” Harry said curious as to what this was about.
“I see. In that case I need to talk to you about Remus. He will know the second he smells you and considering what he’s been lead to believe … I believe it would be best if I warn him about you coming” Albus explained.
For a brief moment Harry froze unable to speak. There was a big part of him that wanted nothing to do with anyone over there let alone tell someone who he was, but he can’t escape this. It was best to tell Remus not just for his sake, but for the werewolf’s too “tell him … he should know”
“ok, I will” Albus responded and they both said goodbye before hanging up.
“I just need to avoid meeting them and I’ll be fine” Harry said with a frustrated sigh. The feeling of a rune outside his home being tripped alerted him to someone near the house. He grabbed his wand went to see who it was hoping he could get away with delivering a nasty injury if it was Wyatt …
