Chapter 13

~~Hogwarts~~

Minerva slowly opened her eyes at a knock at the door; she rubbed her eyes and hid the picture once more before casting a refreshing charm and standing up. “Come in.”

The door slid open and Severus walked in, his robes swishing behind him as he carried in a chess bored and a bottle of wine. “Evening Minerva, I do hope I’m not interrupting anything.”

She shook her head, “no, no of course not. I must have fallen asleep going over the curriculum this year. Is tonight our weekly chess game? I completely forgot.”

Severus sat down, “if you are too tired Minerva, we can postpone for another night.”

The elderly woman smiled, “no, no Severus in fact I think this is just what the Healer ordered, good company and a challenging game of chess.”

Severus laughed, “I think you are the only one who considers me good company Minerva.”

“Be that as it may, it is still true. I have yet to find someone to can so easily match me in chess.” She gave a tired smile as she took the chess board from him and set it up on the small table between their chairs.

Severus watched the woman set up their game carefully; he had begun to notice that the woman was beginning to wear down slightly since the news of Harry’s disappearance from his family’s residence. With his vampire blood he had he could easily slip into her mind and found that she was becoming weary of Dumbledore and he could very nearly smell the guilt rolling off of her at Harry’s treatment. Right now the elder woman was wide open, her thoughts broadcasting so loudly he had to keep himself from flinching at the intensity of them. Severus leaned forward and placed his hand on top of hers to still her. “Minerva, something is bothering you. Talk to me, you will feel better.”

Minerva sighed and ran a hand over her face, “oh Severus, it’s the whole thing with Harry and the Malfoy’s. I truly wonder if he is safe there, I know that Lucius is your friend and that Draco is your godson, but is he safe? With the implications of the Dark Lord being back, and the ties that the Malfoy’s have.” She rubbed her eyes and sighed, “if only Sirius were truly free…he should never have…”

Severus squeezed her hand, “Minerva, we both know that Albus could have gotten Black out, and I know that we have both questioned him about why he didn’t. I hold no love for Black…but we both know that he was not in Azkaban for 12 years undercover, why did Albus leave him there?”

“If only I knew, I would do anything to free Sirius, not just because he was one of my Griffindores but because he is Harry’s godfather, Harry belongs with Sirius, James and Lily would turn over in their graves if they knew what was happening to their son, it makes my heart sick to know that I had a hand in it.”

Severus’s mind gave an inward smirk, knowing that this was his chance. He leaned forward, “Minerva, something about this is more than just guilt over Harry. What is wrong?”

She sighed as she sat back in her chair and looked into her fire place. “Severus, can I trust you to keep a secret?”

“Of course Minerva, you know that whatever you say to me will never get back to anyone else.”

She gave a tight nod, “years ago, when I was much younger, I fell in love with a young muggle. He became my everything and I became his. But because of my own family I was scared to tell him I was a witch, oh things were different back then, we were hated and feared. I would help my mother hide mine and my brothers magical accidents until I eventually left for Hogwarts. The muggle was a local farmer from where my family lived, before we moved to London. He proposed to me and I foolishly accepted, but in the end I could never truly have him, I was terrified of having to do as my mother did and lock my wand away and hide my magical abilities and those of any children I would have. While I loved him with all my heart, I also wanted to be free. I broke off the engagement, and his heart and ran with my family to London.” She sighed as she looked into the fire, and accepted the glass of wine that Severus offered. “I’m sorry Severus, you probably don’t want to hear me babble on about lost loves and such.”

“Minerva, it is heavily on your mind and you need someone to talk to, please I do not mind you talking to me about it. You have carried this burden for so long Minerva, just let it go for a little while.” He coaxed her softly, using his abilities to relax her even as the sedative in the wine did the same.

“I spent about two years working for the Ministry. I was pursued by a Mister Elphinstone Urquart, who I eventually married. He died in 1985, but we had one son very shortly into our marriage…Julian. Julian was my everything, I may never have loved my husband like I did that muggle boy, but I loved my son.”

“Minerva, I never knew you had a son.”

She sighed, “no one did, he died very young.”

“What happened to him?” Severus asked quietly.

“Tom Riddle did…it was during his rise to power…I was out with Julian and ran right into him. Of course I had no idea it was him, he was under a glamor….oh but he was charming. He told me his name was Ian McShane, another wizard and one who was skilled in Transfiguration like me. He entertained Julian with stories of travels. We dated you could say, for a little while, and then…then Julian went missing. I searched everywhere. Albus was the one who found him…he was here on the Hogwarts grounds…in the forest…he was killed by Tom Riddle. My heart broke that day…I lost my son. The pain I suffered that day, I vowed to never let anyone suffer as I did. I feel so guilty that Harry is suffering, and Albus refuses to let me do anything to help the boy, it screams to the mother in me to protect him. It’s more than the fact he’s one of my lions, has also the son of two people I held very dear to my heart, all the Marauders, I do not condone what they did during their school years, nor what they did of you, but they were like children to me and I watched them grow up. I swore to those children I would keep their son safe, and right now I feel like I am losing my mind.”

Severus sat stunned and he sighed. “You are tired Minerva, you should sleep, we can have our game tomorrow night, when you are feeling better.” He stood up and squeezed her shoulder slightly. “I will see you tomorrow.”

She sighed and nodded, but smiled up at him. “Thank you for listening Severus, you are right I do feel a little better.”

He nodded and pulled a potion out of his robes. “something to help you sleep. Just get some rest, everything will be alright. I will even go and check up on Harry if you want me to, as you said Lucius is a friend of mine.”

Minerva’s eyes widened, “You would Severus? Truly? Oh please if you could, and if you could take a letter to him for me?” She rushed over to her desk and pulled a letter out of her drawer and handed it to him. “And please, don’t tell Albus about this, I…there’s just something strange going on with him since we got the letter about Harry. He’s becoming violent, and I am honestly frightened. Since Tom came back…it changed Albus, and I am scared for what he has planned for Harry.”

Severus stamped down the protective flare he developed for the boy. “what do you mean Minerva? What does Albus have planned?”

Minerva looked at him with tired eyes, “if only I knew Severus, if only I knew.”
