(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Last Time:
Against the others warnings Harry took the unconscious wizard back to his apartment to tend to the injuries … under the watchful gaze of Trocar and Frank, of course …
XXXXXXXXXX
“just put him on the couch” Harry said as Trocar and Frank followed him out of the floo and into his apartment with an unconscious wizard between them. They did as asked, but Frank made a point of dropping Severus’s legs rougher than needed “gently” Harry muttered as the werewolf plopped in the chair. Trocar at least didn’t drop the man’s head on the couch’s arm.
One by one each person flooed into the room and slowly left through Harry’s door, but Greyback paused after glancing at the unconscious wizard “if he causes any trouble get us” he said as his pack members left the room along with almost everyone else. Armel was the only other vampire besides Trocar who stayed in the room … though Harry suspected there were several vampires just outside in the hall.
“and keep the door open” Sanguini seriously, but before Harry could say anything the vampire landlord stopped at the door and just decided to pop it off its hinges removing any chance that anything in the room will go unheard. The teen wanted to pout, but friend or not the vampire did own the place and was only trying watch out for him so he kept quiet.
Harry sighed as he pulled out his bottomless green bag filled with some extra healing potions that he keeps in his pocket for emergencies “clearly tackling would not have gone well”
“no kidding” Frank muttered as Harry started cleaning a cut on the wizard’s shoulder after brushing off the smoldering embers “the guy is very strong … where did he go and what did he destroy though?”
Trocar frowned as he picked a charred woodchip off the ground “good question”
“yeah … whatever it was it fell on him too … hey Trocar can you get the towels over there?” Harry asked, but when the vampire turned to get the towels Harry hissed in pain …
In an instant Trocar, Frank, Armel and everyone from downstairs went to the young wizard’s side and none were not happy with what they saw. Severus had opened his eyes and grabbed Harry’s wrist in a painful vice like grip. It was possible the potion master had no clue he was hurting Harry. In fact the young wizard was certain that his mentor was still out cold since his eyes, though open, were dazed as if he was asleep. That didn’t matter to the dark creatures who flooded the room and were baring their fangs or pointing their wands at Severus ready to rip him to shreds. Armel was the fastest and had Severus’s wrist in a flash … the same wrist of the hand clutching Harry’s wrist …
“it’s fine you guys-ah … he’s not doing it on purpose-ow … he’s asleep” Harry argued in the man’s defense even though he was wincing as the grip on his wrist got stronger.
“I say we wake him then” said Armel whose eyes were darker than every vampire there and Harry flinched as he heard the snapping sound of a bone breaking followed by a pained cry …
Armel broke Severus’s wrist …
The potion master was now truly awake and he unknowingly released Harry’s wrist in an instinctual attempt to get away from the pain, but Armel wasn’t letting go of the wizard any time soon “let me go” Severus glared at the vampire who remained as still as a statue while holding the busted human’s limb and none of the other Dark creatures made any move to help.
Harry sighed and patted Armel’s arm “let him go. We’ll see how he acts now that he’s thinking clearly” the silence was tense as the vampire reluctantly dropped the broken wrist and back up a little “I’m sorry Severus. It seemed to be the only way to get you to let go of me. Let me see your wrist”
“let go of you?” Severus pondered out loud in a daze as he handed the blonde his broken wrist. He was vaguely aware of being handed a couple potions, a Skele-gto and pain reliever, and drinking them as his mind went through everything that happened only moments ago “I’m so sorry”
“you were still unconscious so it wasn’t your fault” Harry commented absentmindedly as he let the Skele-gro heal the broken bone so he could put a healing salve on the other cuts and burns.
Severus shook his head and finally looked the boy in the eyes “no Ca- … Harry … I’m sorry for everything. Everything I did and said … that day the train was leaving you tried to ask for my help and all I did was snap at you” Severus said, it was a sincere apology and the genuine emotion in his voice made the dark creatures relax a little even though they didn’t drop their guard just yet.
“I know this sounds bad, but I’m happy you didn’t help me then” Harry noticed a flicker of hurt in Severus’s eye before it disappeared “I was able to get away and knowing what we know now can you say this wouldn’t have been the better course?”
“indeed” Severus hissed and scowled as he rubbed his temple in an attempt to ease his headache that wasn’t being eased by the pain reliever. The pain was most likely caused by the spells being removed so it has to stop on its own “the spells on me would’ve had a terrible effect on me … if you told me there’s a chance I could’ve fought the mind controlling because of my Occlumency ttraining, but for how long … I don’t know and I don’t know who put them on me so I could’ve done or said something to the wrong person without knowing”
Harry frowned “considering my magical guardian tried to use similar spells in the places I slept in while with my muggle guardians I think we have the same culprit”
Dark eyes settled on the boy with fake blonde hair and fake blue eyes “who?” Severus’s eyes narrowed as Harry all but threw a calming potion into his non-broken hand.
A stubborn silence continued until Severus drank the potion and waited for an explanation, but Harry had a different plan …
“Severus … this would be better if you saw it” Harry said making the dark creatures flinch and move in closer. The young wizard just gave permission for the potion master to use Legilimens. This was Harry’s choice so they wouldn’t stop him, but if anything looked off at all then the professor would die …
Despite the danger from the protective creatures Severus calmly raised his wand with his good hand and whispered the spell. He had nothing to fear because he had no intention of hurting Harry. However as he looked through the boy’s memories he found several people he wished to hurt.
Severus dropped the wand in shock breaking the spell “Petunia … she was your guardian and Dumbledore …” he trailed off as he mulled this revelation over. He stood up slowly and took a couple steps towards a bookcase though he seemed to not have any interest in it. As if he was moving for the sake of moving “Lily … your mother” Severus began shaking his head softly “she would never have given you to Petunia. That woman is toxic … a toxic, hate filled, jealous shrew … your magical guardian … Dumbledore had no right to put you in Petunia’s claws let alone take money!”
Unlike the last anger filled blast of magic this was just a ripple that shook a few pots in the kitchen, which impressed Harry because he made a strong calming potion. Imagine how bad Severus would be if he wasn’t forced to drink the calming potion. This professor would be dangerous to anyone who truly pisses him off. It’s a good thing Severus had such good control or he may have killed many of the ‘dunderheads’ he teaches.
Trocar stepped over to Harry and checked the purpling hand shaped bruise on Harry’s wrist since the young wizard has a nasty habit of thinking of others before himself and hasn’t treated it yet “would you get a hold of yourself before you destroy some other unsuspecting building or whatever you leveled in your tirade before?” the vampire scolded the potion master as he quickly got the bruise salve from the boy’s bag and spread some on the skin.
In a sudden urge to argue Severus turned to the vampire mentor, but his anger died the second he spotted the bruises on Harry’s arm start to fade … the bruises he caused “I’m sorry … this entire situation is …”
“screwed up?” Harry suggested and Severus nodded “yeah and it has to stay a secret until Dumbledore has no authority over me”
Severus’s jaw clenched as he remembered the memories he saw “indeed, his position as your magical guardian will make it hard to fight him … Harry, where’s your potion?”
Before Harry could say that he didn’t know where his vial went Frank smirked and held up a potion vial “I grabbed it before the professor went wild in the lab. I managed to some of the potions to detect spells and potions in the body, no hanks to you” the werewolf said sounding very much like he blamed Severus, but the potion master didn’t mind. Now everything made sense …
Trocar’s strange resentment towards him …
Frank’s constant attempts to infuriate him …
It was all for Harry and he deserved all of it, but what he didn’t deserve was what happened next …
Harry got away from the fussy vampire and went to the very bookshelf Severus was leaning on. The young wizard grabbed the brown bag that looked familiar to the professor who had a sinking feeling “I told you I stole from my professor so … here, it’s all the ingredients I took and the bag. Everything is fresh. I’m sorry for taking them”
The professor stared blankly at the bag …
After everything he didn’t deserve to be shown respect or kindness and he certainly didn’t deserve the sad apologetic looks in the kneazles’ big golden eyes and those false blue eyes as if they had a reason to need forgiveness …
They did nothing wrong …
“thank you … you shouldn’t have felt the need to do that” Severus said as he took the bottomless bag.
Armel shrugged “we told him that too, but he’s beyond stubborn”
All Harry did was roll his eyes good naturedly as he went to the kitchen and opened the bottle filled with a red potion. Severus watched as drops of the potion were applied to the hair, eyes and a spot on his forehead revealing the real features of Harry Potter. There was something, however, about Harry and Armel. The classic bird nest of Potter hair was nicely tamed into soft waves, the height of the boy already came close to surpssing any known height of a Potter and the outrageous glasses were gone, but now there was a remarkable resemblance between the potion master’s apprentice and the tall vampire. If he imagined the red vampire eyes as green they would look like father and son. It was probably just coincidence, but Severus filed that away in the back of his mind just in case.
“he’s definitely stubborn … what happened to Petunia?” Severus smirked as the green eyes shifted over to the dark creatures who were doing a poor job of feigning innocence “I see … well that makes things simple … at least in that regard, I, on the other hand, need to consult Gringotts about a new living arrangement”
In an instant it became clear what Severus destroyed before. Wherever he lived before no longer existed …
Sanguini glanced at the others around him and it was clear that they all agreed that the man could be trusted “if you want there’s one more fourth floor apartment available” he offered.
It was a stunning offer that Severus could not refuse “I’ll accept it … but I’m going to need a new vault key so I need to go anyway. I’ll be right back Harry” he said vaguely since he did not want to explain that he blew up his key accidently. Harry was heard commenting about quickly writing a friend to tell him he lived as the professor flooed out of the apartment and into the wizarding bank. He strode up to the counter and looked at the goblin “due to some unforeseen mishap at my house I will be needing a new key” he said as he used the dagger to give a sample of blood.
Actually this was the first time he did this for himself. There was no point in doing this for himself since he always had very little money from his teacher’s salary. The only reason he knew the process so well is because he helped create vaults so they could get out of abusive situations. He has helped many kids, but … guilt was eating at him for not helping Harry sooner …
“it’s about time. We were starting to think you would never come. Follow me, Master Ironclaw will be joining soon” the goblin muttered as he escorted a stunned potion master to a private room.
The goblin left Severus in the room and moments later another goblin came in “you certainly like to wait Heir Prince. I am Ironclaw the manager of both your private vault and the Prince vaults”
“what? I think there’s been a mistake. My mother was disowned so I have no claim” Severus said.
“that is where you are wrong. Your mother was disowned after you were born so you still are the heir. She refused any and all contact from your grandparents who tried to sue to gain custody of you. On the day she died your grandparents were long gone, but the magical guardian who was appointed to you and supposedly removed lots of money for your care should have explained all this. When you became an adult he was locked out of the vaults and strangely we found that we couldn’t get a hold of you” Ironclaw said as he tapped his long sharp nails on the desk in front of him. clearly the goblin was already aware of what or, to be more precise, who was the cause of this problem …
Severus’s eyes narrowed … this sounded very familiar “who was my guardian?”
“who gave you that single key and claimed you had no right to inherit?” the goblin countered.
“Dumbledore” Severus snarled.
“then that’s your answer” Ironclaw sneered before showing Severus the fortune he gained …
XXXXXXXXXX
“POPPY!”
The old healer looked up to see her blonde apprentice who was shaking and out of breath “oh my Cache what’s wrong?” she said clearly concerned.
“it’s Severus! I heard him come back to my apartment and found him drinking a calming potion. He drank three in under an hour!” Cache managed to gasp between pants.
Poppy paled “dear Merlin! What the bloody hell is going through his head?!” she snapped as she grabbed a bag full things she may need and followed after her panicking apprentice to the floo in the lobby two floors down “how did this happen?”
“I don’t know! He flooed into my apartment after visiting Gringotts and just took two calming potions and drank them knowing I gave him one only 30 minutes before! This wasn’t something I trained in yet so I came here” Cache said as he skidded to a stop in front of a fireplace anxiously twitching as the healer hurried to catch up. In a surge of flames the two St. Mungo’s healers stepped into a now empty apartment …
At least mostly empty … Severus was on the couch as Lyra and Libra paced around the couch nervously. All the dark creatures were gone and really it was no surprise. There wasn’t a good relationship between St. Mungo’s and creatures, but Harry figured they were listening … after all, the door was still gone …
“Severus! I brought Poppy!” Cache said as he all but jumped over the couch in his urgency.
“really Severus what were-” Poppy stopped mid scolding when the clearly sick wizard gave her a potion. The potion Harry recognized as the potion to remove the spells that he gave Severus.
“Severus there’s no time for this! We don’t even know if she has the same spells you had!” Cache snapped in worry as Severus looked tipsy meaning he was suffering from the overdose of calming potions.
Severus gasped through his labored breathing “he is predictable … and arrogant” he said with slightly slurred words obviously referring to Dumbledore before looking at the old witch he has known for years “Poppy if you don’t drink this I swear to Merlin I will apparate out of here and to a place where I won’t get treatment in time”
The look in those black eyes were serious and Poppy knew she had no choice if she wanted him to live. She snatched the vial and drank it in one gulp. Without skipping a beat or waiting to see what the potion would do she started to treat Severus. It was clear that Poppy was not happy about this stunt if her angry mutterings were anything to go by, but just as she finished the spell work to help Severus her mind began to clear. Cobwebs that blinded her mind were pulled away and she began remembering things … realizing things she ignored before … things she can’t explain why she’d ignore them … there was also a sudden urge to find and treat Harry Potter …
“I was correct” the witch looked down at Severus who, though weak, still had a smugness in his smile that made Cache roll his eyes with an exasperated sigh. Severus groaned in pain before he turned serious “Poppy … you need to hear something. It may be a bit hard to believe, but just listen”
Curiosity gripped the witch. What could’ve been so important that he’d risk his life? At first the story seemed so farfetched. Albus is simply not capable of doing such things like subjecting a child to an abusive home or stealing or mind control, but the story from both wizards continued. Slowly but surely the visage of the perfect headmaster was stained black. As the final nail in the coffin Cache showed her who he really was and the scars that haven’t quite healed yet …
“oh Merlin …” Poppy muttered breathlessly as she looked back and forth between Harry Potter and Severus Snape “is this …” her sentence died in her throat as her mind began spinning.
Severus nodded weakly “yes Poppy … this is all true. Just think about how Harry looked his first day of school. It was clear that something was very wrong, but neither of us made any move to help. We didn’t acknowledge it, but now we can see it after we took a potion to remove mind control spells … Dumbledore tried putting those very spells, weaker versions of course, on Harry’s … bedrooms” Severus said not in the mood to go into detail about the abuse right now “the man betrayed us”
“oh Harry … I … I’m so sorry!” Poppy whimpered tearfully. Harry pulled the witch into a hug trying to comfort her “I’ll help however I can … if I get my hands on that old fool I’ll wring his neck” she threatened making Harry chuckle.
The potion master snorted in amusement “save the murderous rampage until after Harry’s emancipated”
“I know, I know” Poppy said with a dismissive wave as she wiped her eyes “I’ll still train you Harry if you want” she offered hopefully. Not only did Harry prove he was a great apprentice, but she felt this was a chance to make up for not helping the second she first saw him even though that wasn’t her fault to begin with.
“as interesting as Hogwarts was I feel it isn’t for me so I would like to continue training under you and Severus” Harry said sincerely.
“then I expect to see you tomorrow bright and early” Poppy said before glaring at Severus “and keep an eye on your reckless potions master here” she ignored the scowl Severus shot back at her.
Harry chuckled “I will Poppy, see you tomorrow” Poppy flooed away soon after that and the green eyed wizard glanced at Severus “were you going to warn me about this plan or was nearly killing yourself and giving me a heart attack part of your brilliant, well thought out scheme?”
“cheeky brat” Severus grumbled.
“that’s one of my personality traits that you were always right about. I’ll start dinner unless you want to sleep” Harry said.
Trocar appeared next to the couch “just make dinner Harry” the vampire said and shot Severus an annoyed look “our guest shouldn’t get a choice after that stunt” he huffed still not happy that Harry was so freaked out.
“it got us another ally didn’t it?” Severus huffed sulkily.
Dinner was made and the kneazles were fed. Sanguine finally put Harry’s door back in its rightful place, which made Harry happy. Severus tried to leave after the meal because he felt like he was imposing on the young wizard’s space, but Harry insisted he stay on the couch so he could check in on him. It may not sound dangerous, but drinking too much of any potion too fast is a serious matter. Despite knowing this Severus snuck out of the apartment once he was sure the boy and the kneazles were asleep …
Severus was met by Sanguini who must’ve heard or smelled him leave the apartment “I would like to discuss the available apartment”
“it’s your choice, but should you be walking around after what happened?” the vampire questioned even though he was well aware the wizard should be resting.
“Harry can yell at me later. No doubt he will if he’s being trained by Poppy. That’s all this world needs, another insane healer who is too stubborn for words” Severus muttered grouchily. Poppy is a great healer, but she is very protective of her patients … this news about Dumbledore and her overlooking Harry’s need for help most likely hurt her deeply …
Sanguini shrugged “it’s right this way”
“what happened to the Dursleys?” Severus asked curiously as he followed the vampire towards the door at the end of the hall, which was presumably his new apartment. There was a flicker of a smirk on Sanguini’s lips that made Severus suspicious “is there more to this than what you told Harry?” he asked and the next second he found himself pinned against the wall and staring into crimson eyes that sparkled with a dark amusement.
“yes … and Harry will continue to know nothing, understand Severus?” Sanguini hummed as he gazed into the shorter wizard’s eyes. With the distinct impression of being hunted by something powerful and realizing he left his wand in Harry’s apartment Severus nodded.
A trip down to the werewolf cell rooms and through a magical painting revealed something that made Severus smirk cruelly “Petunia … it’s been far too long”
Weary eyes of a skinny woman looked up and when she adjusted to the light she paled in horror “YOU! What are you doing here you freak? Go away-” suddenly her voice fell silent.
“Merlin she’s a loud one” Severus and Sanguini turned to look at Frank and then back at the woman who was now cowering with a plump man while trying to scream through the silencing spell cast by the werewolf.
“indeed, she hasn’t changed a bit” Severus snorted as she glared at him “how much longer do you intend to keep them?” he asked as if these people were nothing more than lab rats in a cage.
Frank snickered “until the full moon … we’ll be showing them some terrifying magic”
An ominous chuckle escaped Severus’s lips as he looked down at the five cowering fools “the people who try to starve a child to death end up eaten by the child’s protectors … how poetic … at least we have a full day to get reacquainted Petunia” he said thoroughly enjoying the look of terror that crossed her face before the door was closed again sending the prisoners back into darkness …
As expected Harry woke in the middle of the night to check Severus only to find the stubborn fool wasn’t there. Thankfully for the potion master he was found resting in his new apartment … it was easy for Harry to get in since Sanguini let him in proving that the vampire truly had only one loyalty. Severus sulked as his vitals were checked and once more in the morning. Once Harry left to start his rounds at St. Mungo’s, however, Severus took his wand and spent the day torturing the muggles and squib. It was very satisfying, but nowhere near as satisfying as watching from behind the safety of a barred cell room door as a pack of werewolves were released onto the helpless fools who were ripped into bloody ribbons. There was one issue though …
“owow ow!” Frank whined after the full moon night. Like always he was weak, sore and tired, but this time there was a terrible pain in his back tooth. Since he wouldn’t stop whining Trocar dragged him into Harry’s apartment where Severus and Harry were talking over some tea. Most of the conversation seemed to be about a certain Longbottom and more feeling guilty on the professor’s part.
“hey guys what’s up?” Harry asked as he gave Hedwig a couple treats. She had a long flight to get to Neville so she deserved it.
Trocar sighed as he forced the whimpering werewolf down on the couch “Frank did something to his jaw last night. He’s in pain”
Harry pulled out his willow wand and looked into Frank’s mouth. After casting a quick scanning spell he adjusted his angle and spelled something out of Frank’s jaw. The bloody item clattered onto the coffee table in front of Severus.
“that should feel better. Here take these to heal the wound” Harry said as he handed Frank a Skele-gro to heal the jaw bone that was cracked and a blood restoring potion followed up with a pain reliever.
“yes … much better. What was that thing?” Frank asked as he shot the offending item a glare.
“lets see” Harry said as he picked up the narrow object and washed the blood off in the sink to get a better look. Severus and Harry recognized it instantly … it was a screw. How a purely muggle tool got lodged in Frank’s jaw Severus didn’t know, but Harry had an idea “well … if you ate Uncle Vernon then it’s a surgical screw from his knee replacement. If you ate Aunt Marge then it’s a surgical screw from her hip replacement” he said casually. In the last few days he suspected something may have been kept from him. Some of the werewolves seemed too eager as the full moon came around this time and it made Harry wonder. Now he knows … he already accepted those muggles as dead so learning that they definitely were now didn’t mean all that much …
The two dark creatures blinked like deer caught in the headlights and stayed silent until Trocar turned to Severus and said “would it surprise you to know we were once very good at keeping secrets?” Severus couldn’t help laughing at that …
