Chapter 13- Fluffy? Who names a monster dog ‘fluffy’?

Harry snuck into the dungeons for another private potions lesson with Uncle Sev.
Between his dreams and these lessons on Friday afternoons Harry was ahead in Potions.
The best thing about it was getting to work side by side with Draco privately with no disapproving eyes.
They were in the middle of their Forgetfulness potion when they heard a crash.
Harry cast a stasis charm on the potion and they ran towards the direction of the sound.
“Damn leg! It’s all Quirrell’s fault. Drat the man. Who names a Cerberus Fluffy?”
“Uncle Sev you’re bleeding…” Draco gasped.
“It’s nothing.” Severus grumbled.
“That’s a dog bit. They can fester.” Harry said quietly as he summoned a clean but empty cauldron. He filled it with water from his wand and then used a warming charm on it. Harry took off his t-shirt and used a cleaning spell on it before tearing it to pieces.
Draco blinked, tearing clothing like that without a care? Granted Harry’s clothes often looked like something that ought to belong to a house elf…
“Draco! Don’t stand there gawking help me.” Harry snapped.
“I don’t need help. I’m fine!” Severus grumbled trying and failing to stand.
“You’re going to let me look at it.” Harry glared.
Severus ruffled his hair, “You’re just like Lily.”
They undid Severus’ rob together, with surprising strength Harry managed to tear Severus’ trousers to bear the bloody bandages. With gentle hands Harry unwrapped it, wincing at the mangled. “Draco go get a towel?”
“Oh…alright…” the stunned blonde said scarpering off.
“With a mouth this big, was it that monster dog with the three heads?” Harry asked before he could stop himself.
“How do you know about Hagrid’s monster mutt?” Severus scowled. “Don’t tell me you were one of those kids involved in the wizard’s duel I was looking for.”
Harry hung his head, “I didn’t plan to be. I tried to get them to call it off. It was Ron’s fault. He challenged Draco and called him a coward. Then he told the Perfect Prefect about it, who told you. He bullied Hermione into being his second and then never came. I only went along because I didn’t want Hermione wandering the corridor’s alone and I thought Ron was in the room they agreed too.”
“Weasley which means…Draconis Lucius Malfoy! Why were you out wandering the corridors at midnight?” Severus thundered.
Draco winced and Harry cowered.
Draco pouted, “He challenged my honour! He called me a coward.”
“Just because he’s lashing out with words you think you have to retaliate? This kind of behaviour will only escalate! One of you will end up almost killed or publicly humiliated. Is that what you want?” Severus glared.
Draco hung his head and pouted, “No…”
Severus pulled him into his arms awkwardly, “You are a good boy I know you are. So don’t do foolish things. I’ll have to tell your father and you will be punished. Your parents will be so disappointed…”
“Wah! You’re bleeding so much.” Harry gasped, dipping a piece of his shirt in the warm water and gently wiping the blood away. It had crusted over in some places and he worried he was doing more harm then good but it had to be cleaned right?
Severus let go of Draco and gritted his teeth.
“You couldn’t have done this yourself. Why didn’t you go to the hospital wing?” Harry frowned.
“Ha! Pomfrey wouldn’t know a dog bite from a bit from a venomous tentacula. She’s a fourth-rate medi-wizard doing the job of a healer. She can’t become a healer because she never passed her potions NEWT. She’s utterly useless in an emergency, all she does is wring her hands and wail. A student could be beaten right in front of her and she still couldn’t tell you what was wrong with them. She’d diagnosis internal bleeding as a stomach ache and then wonder why the kid is dead.” Severus snorted. “I wouldn’t trust her with my cats.”
“Cats? Your mother’s cats was home that night. I found it curled up on her grave in December shivering. I brought her home. Solarin?”
“Meow?”
“Mine is Amaryllis.”
Harry blinked, “What? That’s my owl’s name.”
“Amaryllis is a type of lily.”
Harry finished cleaning the wound, “I wish I could sew…it needs stitches.”
“Does it really hurt uncle Sev?” Draco frowned.
“It’s…inconvenient.” The potions master grumbled.
“I might be able to help a little. I don’t have good control but sometimes…” Draco closed his eyes and held his hands over Severus’ wound.
A golden glow with a bit of pink shone from Draco’s hands.
Slowly the torn flesh and muscle were pushed together. Within a few heartbeats the wounds looked like it was actually healing, like it was a few weeks old rather than freshly inflicted.
Draco collapsed, “Dammit. I forgot that part.”
Harry wrung his hands, “Are you alright? What’s wrong? Is there anything I can do?”
Draco squeezed his hand, “I’m fine. I’m not sixteen yet so it’s draining to do that. I’ll be alright after a snack and sleep.”
“I’ll have to have you taken back to your dormitory by house elf. Narcissa will lecture. Salazar’s wand she’ll complain about not supervising you more closely.” Severus groaned.
“Aren’t you going to thank us?” Draco frowned.
“Don’t think because you helped me with this I’m not going to punish you.” Severus warned, “I will still be telling your father.”
“Uncle Sev…” Draco pouted.
“I know who was all involved in your little midnight duel. You will all be in detention. I will be informing you later what and where. Now go.”
“What were you doing in the Forbidden Third Floor corridor?” Draco smirked.
“Keeping an eye out on an unscrupulous dunderhead up to no good, who is serving an even worse master.” Severus ground out.
“Who is that?” Harry asked.
“Never you mind.” Severus snapped his fingers.
An elf arrived.
“Please escort Mr. Malfoy to his bed in Slytherin. And do keep an eye on him in case his magical exhaustion gets worse.” Severus ordered stiffly.
“It won’t.” Draco scowled.
“To your Houses the both of you. No more nocturnal excursions.” Severus snapped.
Harry sighed and made his way back to Gryffindor just ten minutes shy of curfew.
It had only been a short time he was already so close to them…
There was no Dudley here to threat or hurt his friends. He seemed to be getting braver the longer he was away from the Dursleys.

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