Chapter 17

Severus tossed his cloak ever the back of a chair in his study as he sailed through to the living room. He also unbuttoned his frock coat and removed that, dropping on the sofa in the living room. He rummaged in his drinks cabinet, found what he was looking for, then made his way to Kathy�s rooms, unfastening a couple of buttons on the high collar of his shirt.
When he arrived, Kathy was still in the kitchen, pouring the boiled water into the pot. A quick stir of the pot and she brought the tray through to place on the coffee table.
Severus had already poured two healthy measures of the fine brandy into matching, cut glass brandy goblets and was half sprawled on her sofa with his own, swirling it around and looking for all the world as though he belonged, like it was natural for him to be there. And of course that was the impression he wanted to give. His dark eyes followed her every move, his gaze washing over her body as she walked into the room, bent to lower the tray, then moved to sit on the chair opposite him.
Kathy noticed him watching her, it excited her and scared her at the same time. His eyes were amazing, she�d never seen eyes so black, so deep, so� what? She concentrated on the tea, feeling utterly foolish at her reaction to him. She wanted to loose herself in those eyes, at the same time they terrified her. She felt things she had no right feeling, things no self respecting woman should feel. Especially so soon after�

Severus sensed the sudden change in her mood and sat up. He saw the melancholy expression, the sadness in her own eyes, along with a healthy dose of guilt. It was still too soon for her, the years since her families demise were only weeks to her. He should not be attempting to seduce the woman, and if he was honest with himself, that was exactly what he was trying to do. He decided this weekend would be spent solely in the pursuit of getting laid, it had been too damned long and he needed sex, Kathy clearly was not on the agenda so he would need to look elsewhere.

�Perhaps I should go, you seem tired.�

�No I�m not, I was just thinking about David and my little girls.� She daren�t tell him she was also thinking about other, more carnal things, it just wasn�t done. But she felt something when she was with this man, there was no denying it, and though at first it was a safe feeling, through the course of the evening it became something more. �So did you see what I saw, when I held your hand?�
�I did, it was the strangest experience. Has this happened before?�
�Kind of, not that I ever went round hugging trees and things. Sometimes if someone accidentally brushed my hand, or I petted a dog, like that one of - Hagrid�s is it, I would feel an odd surge of - strength I suppose. It always made me feel - better, in myself. But I put it down to flights of fancy, I never for one moment thought it was anything like this. Do you think I�m odd? A freak?�
�Certainly not. Kathy, what you have is different, alarming even, but you are in no way odd, or freakish. I need to ask you something.�

She nodded, relieved that he didn�t find her strange.
�When you took my hand out there, did you mean for me to see those things? Was it a conscious effort on your part?�
�I hoped that you would, I wanted you to see it all. It was wonderful and frightening at the same time, and it was so difficult to explain what was happening to me. So yes, I suppose it was a conscious effort. Why, does it make a difference?�

�I don�t know. I would like for us to repeat the experiment, then you to hold my hand but not want me to see what you do. Would you be willing to do that, tomorrow perhaps?�
�Yeah why not. In for a penny and all that.�
He gave her a questioning look.
�Never mind, lets just do it. I�d say do it now, but there�s no way I�m climbing all those stairs again. Are you hungry, I baked earlier, biscuits and things.�
�You MADE biscuits? Definitely.�
Kathy hid her smile as she went to the kitchen, returning a minute later with a plate of assorted biscuits and a few butterfly buns.
Severus� face lit up, it was rare to have the opportunity to taste normal homemade baking in the wizarding world, everything was done by magic. The last time he�d even seen a butterfly bun was when he was a small child, old Mrs Colley down the street used to bake every Tuesday and give him a bun just like these.

He�d eaten three of them before he realised how greedy he was being. �I�m sorry, I am not usually such a glutton.�

Kathy chuckled. You go ahead, it�s nice to see them appreciated. I made two dozen, so Albus will get his share tomorrow I dare say.�
�You bake for the Headmaster?�
�Mm hm, Tuesdays baking day. I always bake on a Tuesday.�
Severus couldn�t believe his luck, a woman that baked, as well as being attractive.
The following evening Severus and Albus entered Kathy�s rooms. They told him what transpired the previous evening, and the experiment they wished to attempt tonight.
�What a marvellous breakthrough. I look forward to seeing the results of this evenings little trial. Perhaps I might also be allowed to take part in this.� He suggested hopefully.
�I�m not sure Albus, Severus doesn�t seem to be affected when I touch him, he doesn�t feel drained or anything. He said you were really weak after touching me the night I arrived.�
Albus stroked his beard as he thought about this new development. �Not affected you say, how curious.�

�We think maybe he�s immune to me, which means others might be too. I hope so.�
�Let us see what transpires tonight, and I am also interested to see what will happen with any spells directed at you.�

�Spells? No. Anyway they tried, those men, and it didn�t work, but I�m not risking you hurting me.�
�It would not be anything harmful I assure you Kathy, a �tickling jinx�, or even a �jelly legs�.�
�For one I�m not ticklish, never was, and Tomtom tried that �Jellyleg thing on me once for a laugh, but it didn�t work. He wasn�t very happy about it.�
Severus looked at her surprised. �Did you feel anything when he did?�

�I can�t remember, it was so long ago, but when those men sent things at me, I felt stronger for it.�

�And did you attempt to do anything with what you felt?�

�Of course not, I was terrified as it was. I didn�t know what was happening or why. I didn�t know about this Leeching thing. The last thing on my mind was to antagonize them any more then they already were.�
Both wizards could understand that and did not press the issue.
�Blimey I�m out of condition.� Kathy grumbled as they mounted the steps that led from the dungeons. �Why the heck to we have to live down here? I feel sixty five now.�
Both wizards laughed at her grumbled comment. Severus was used to the steps and kept himself fit anyway, and Albus was extremely sprightly for his age. He wondered if Kathy would believe how old he was.
For the second time Kathy wrapped her arms around a tree, the one from last night looked decidedly sick and they chose one well away from it. She wasn�t surprised this time when the images hit her, and keeping one hand on the tree, she reached for Severus with the other.
He took it and for a while saw nothing, then she gave his hand a light squeeze and the images came, he took in the sights of the forest and the view from the treetops. Actually holding her hand while she still had contact with the tree he felt a slow trickle of energy invade him.
Kathy managed to kick off her boots and place her bare feet on the soil, the new vista taking them both by surprise. It was as though the earth had opened to allow them to see beneath its surface. For miles they could see through the tangle of tree roots, along with odd rock formations, underground hollows and caverns, lost items, a nest of Nifflers.
�O my Gods, this is amazing.� Severus said, the awe in his voice unmistakable.
Albus watched them both intently, knowing that for Severus it was more than just what he was seeing through his connection with Kathy. No, what he momentarily saw in his Potions Masters eyes when she first reached out a hand for his, said more than any unusual gift could tell.

Still, he was curious as to what they could see, and placed his hand on Severus� free hand.
Severus turned to him, a brief spark of surprise in his eyes before he accepted the older mans hand in his.
Albus too started to see things, though not with as much clarity as the other two. Kathy had not notice him link with them so she was not attempting to include him.

It was only moments before Albus began to weaken, but his grip on Severus had filtered through to her and as the old wizards knees began to buckle, she suddenly realised what was happening and wrenched her hand from Severus.
