For the next several days, Riddle castle was overrun with guests and well wishers for the new couple. Harry, as Severus was still teaching during the day at Hogwarts, sat and talked with all of them. Some more than others. He spent even more time with his aunt to continue to get to know the real her now she was not under any outside influence.
Draco, Hermione, Neville and the twins were helping him to research more about the Evans Family. So far, they had been able to discover that they have always been a Light family and were closely associated with the Dumbledore Family until just before the fall of Grindlewald. Harry had his suspicions as to why that was. After all, the prick bastard was very powerful and he already knew of at least one person he stripped of their magic.
On the night of their one week anniversary, Severus promised to take them anywhere Harry wanted to go for their honeymoon once school was finished for the year. This made Harry very happy, as there were many delightful places he had heard about that he really wanted to see in person.
Severus smiled and shook his head at the pout his bonded put on his face when he was told he had to choose only one.
“But Seeeeev! I want to see all of them. Why can't we just take a tour of all the places?” Harry poked his bottom lip out like a two year old.
“Because, My Love, then we would not be able to relax and enjoy ourselves as we properly should while celebrating our eternal love.” Was his reply as he took his Harry in his arms and claimed his mouth in a searing kiss.
“As you wish” a breathless Harry said before his husband resumed the kiss and led them to their bed.
The next morning Harry woke with a strange feeling. He told Sev about it as he got ready for work.
“It's OK, Love. I will be extra careful. Poppy has been pestering me to have tea with her in order to discuss a student's well being. I agreed to this morning. Persistent that woman!” The last was said with a small smile. He kissed Harry's cheek , pulled him close and whispered “I love you” to him. To which Harry did and said the same. It was how they said goodbye for months. Harry watched as his partner left; that feeling getting stronger.
As Severus walked to the apparation point outside the wards, he thought about his mate's words and concerns. He knew who the meeting with Poppy was about. Harry didn’t' need to know anything until he knew all the details. The Potions Master was still deep in thought when he arrived at the medi-witch's office for tea and talk.
“Good morning Severus How is your day so far?” Poppy asked formally. It wasn't safe for free speaking as Dumbledore had listening spells on all the offices and rooms in Hogwarts.
“It is as to be expected. How is yours?” he returned. The verbal conversation continued in this manner as the two friends also conversed through Legillimens and Occlumency. Something Tom had insisted all his followers and spies know. Just in case.
Several hours and a few classes later, Severus sent Tom a message to give to Harry. This was a matter he needed to be made aware of as soon as possible. No sooner had the message gone through and there was a frantic knocking at his door. He put on his “best” professor face and answered.
“Yes, Ms. Lovegood? How may I help you?” he asked coldly out loud. But the concern in his eyes spoke even more.
“So sorry to disturb you, Professor. But, I need to speak with you about pressing matters. Can we go somewhere to talk?” The petite blond asked.
“Of course” was the reply as Severus walked out into the hall and turned to follow his student deeper into the dungeons of Hogwarts.
“You know you are not to contact me like this except in the classroom, Luna. What is going on in that head of yours?” Severus asked as they walked rapidly through the dungeons to a passage he often used to sneak out of the castle unobserved by the headmaster.
“Well, Sir, it's just that the headmaster....” she stopped talking and walking
When Severus noticed, he turned and walked back to where she stood.
“I know. The bruises and everything else in your chart from the infirmary.” He said as he put his arm around her to encourage her to continue walking.
“No, I...it's not that.” She said as she stopped once again.
“Then what is it?” He asked as he turned to face her.
“He...he knows. He knows everything. About you; about Voldemort and about.....” She got a wicked glint in her eye as she paused and made full eye contact with him.
“....Harry” she said as she pulled out her wand and stunned the man as he stood there in shock.
“Tsk, tsk , tsk. Severus my boy, you of all people should have known better than to betray me. I am the most powerful wizard in the world. Or...will be once Harry and Tom destroy one another. I know ALL the spells have not been broken. They can't be. No matter what the deceitful ungrateful bitch says in her diary. I started to kill her all those years ago. But I found it humorous to raise and train her and her child to kill her precious “loving uncle”. Now, I see that I should have. She has caused so many difficulties with my plans.
And you. Sleeping with the enemy. And in the form of a student no less. But not just any student; the child of the woman that scorned you so many years ago. Such a way for revenge. Or so the papers will say once they find your dead body. I have to protect the children after all. Can't have a pedophile teaching with so much temptation around here. Correct, Ms. Lovegood?” Dumbledore asked while maintaining his look at Severus who was now looking around for the traitorous girl.
His heart fell as he found her lying in a puddle of blood; badly beaten and tortured. The only indication she was still alive was the painful moan that came from deep inside her.
“Of course, Professor.” was said from beside Dumbledore. As Severus turned to look, he was quite shocked.
“Nymphadora” he said with harsh realization.
“Yes, Nymphadora. Seems with the proper encouragement....she saw things my way. And her talents are VERY much appreciated” Dumbledore responded. “What took you so long, Dear? I expected you and hour ago.” He asked the girl as she transformed into herself.
“Ran into a small problem with some Slytherin bitch. You know how they can be. Took care of it though.” Tonks replied.
“Very good. However....you were still late” was all the warning she got before hit with a Cruciatus. As he had more pressing matters to tend to, she was only under the spell for a few seconds.
Severus was impressed. The only indication that Tonks was in any kind of duress was the fact that her hair kept turning different colors.
Feeling his superiority over those in the room, Albus turned back to Severus.
“You never should have betrayed me. Now, I will rid the world of your pathetic existence as I should have all those years ago. How does it feel knowing that the only reason you were kept alive was to do my bidding as I needed to spy on Tom.
Now....for some long awaited fun. I think I have been feeling my magic fade. Maybe I can replenish it. Just in case.” Dumbledore said with an evil smile as he turned his wand to the young lady on the floor mostly unconscious.
“NOOOOO!!!!” was screamed by Severus as he saw the spell leave the other man's wand.
“My my my. I guess you will just have to watch as I strip her of her magic. Joining it with mine and all that of the others I have. Tell me, do you think that Irish prick will still want her when I am through? This one I will not kill. She can live with her shame of being a Muggle.” With a quick flick of the other's hand, the Potions professor was petrified and forced to watch as the man he once saw as a father figure, however briefly, defiled one of his students and friends. Harry was really going to be pissed when he found this out.
Thankfully, the ordeal was over rather quickly and as the old man stood he put himself back in order. Then, turned malicious eyes onto the man before him.
'Harry' was the last thing Severus remembered thinking before the pain started.
After Severus left for Hogwarts, Harry took a walk around the grounds. He spent several hours in the gardens and surrounding woods. When his feeling of uneasiness got even stronger, he decided to go find his uncle to help figure out what was going on. As he neared the front gate he noticed a commotion gathering in intensity.
“We need to get in and warn them about what Dumbledore is planning. If you don’t let us in, the Heir will hold YOU personally responsible.”
“No one that is unmarked may enter” the guard, a lower level, freshly recruited Death Eater, answered.
“IMBECILE!! They are marked! BY ME!” Harry exclaimed as he rushed to let the visitors in the gate. Send for medical help. Madam Pomfrey is unavailable. Hermione will suffice.”
The guard, who had paled when Harry came up, now scrambled to the castle. Forgetting he was a wizard in his fear and hurry not to further anger the Heir.
Harry helped the man carry the severely injured woman into the main garden where they laid her on a bench he had transfigured into a bed. Complete with fluffy pillows.
“What the hell happened, Seamus?” Harry asked a little more forceful than he intended.
“Yes, what happened?” Harry was relieved to see that his uncle had apparated with Hermione. And Remus.
“We were on our way to meet Luna like always on Monday. She wasn't there, so we went looking for her. We gave up searching and I was walking Pansy back to her dorm when we ran into her. Pansy went to hug her and kiss her hello as usual. You know how they are.” Seamus' face fell as he looked at his friends battered body as Hermione ran spells to find out what all had happened. And to fix some of the damage. “That was NOT MY LUNA.” he emphasized
“Something is very wrong. I've had a strange feeling since I woke up this morning. And then, there was the message from Severus after his tea with Poppy. Seems that Luna has been in the infirmary a lot more than usual. And they both suspect torture. Severus has still not returned my message from earlier. Now, there is what you say just happened. It doesn't make sense. Those two have been best friends since before Hogwarts.” Harry explained his concerns while never taking his eyes from Pansy. Something that only grew as Hermione gasped and started crying.
“I'm so sorry, Harry. I've done all I can. Some of the damage....can..never be repaired. And...” Hermione paused and looked Harry in the eyes with tears pouring out of her own. “Sh..sh.she's lost the baby she was carrying.”
“PANSY!!!!!” was yelled from behind Harry. No one noticed when Tom left; but Harry was grateful when he returned with Draco, Fred and George.
“Baby?” Draco asked as he made his way to be by her side. He had to settle for just being close to her bed as George was already in it with Pansy in his arms, trying to pull her as close as humanly possible.
Seamus stood and walked over to his friend and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Fred climbed up next to his twin.
“It's worse. That's the damage that can't be repaired. She will never be able to have children.” Hermione explained through her sobs. And then buried her head in Remus' chest.
“What is she talking about?” George asked.
“She was going to surprise you on your birthday next week.” Seamus started but stopped as Pansy raised a hand to George's cheek. “I'm so sorry.” was wheezed out through labored breaths.
“NonononoNO!!!! You have nothing to be sorry for. You know I love surprises; usually giving them. But getting this one would have been the greatest ever. I love you” George whispered to her as he held her tighter. “Someone explain to me WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!!!”
“And tell us WHO THE FUCK DID THIS!!!!” Draco added.
“Well, this morning.....” Harry stopped short with a very scared look on his face. One that quickly turned to anger. Everyone felt the magic start to build and swirl around Harry.
“Harry! Calm down.” Hermione pleaded with her best friend through her tears.
Only when his eyes began to glow, did Harry turn his gaze to his friends and family.
“Hermione, get them all inside and then explain. Dumbledore has Severus.” Somewhere in his anger filled mind, Harry heard Remus growl. “And Luna” He was too far gone to see Seamus' shocked face. “NO” the last was yelled at the two that jumped up. “I GO ALONE”
Harry turned to Tom. “This ends NOW!!!” And even more energy surged as there was a thunderous crack. Harry was gone.
“Why are you grinning? You're wolf should be going crazy with wanting revenge for a member of the pack being hurt.” Tom said to Remus as he looked around to see what kind of damage was done by Harry.
“Oh, Moony wants revenge for someone hurting his brother. But he also knows that Harry is the most powerful wizard to have ever lived. And that anything he could do, would pale in comparison to what Harry WILL do for hurting his life-mate. Moony, and myself, are both extremely satisfied with this” Remus answered as he watched his own mate escort all her friends into the castle while Tom levitated Pansy in her bed.
Tom smiled at this. He very much wished he could be there to see what Harry did. No sooner had he thought it than it happened. Harry had pulled him to his side through their link. His body was still in the garden, but his mind was in a cell in Dumbledore's office. One he was quite familiar with from his lessons from so long ago.
Noticing that Tom had stopped in his tracks, Remus looked over to his friend and leader. First thing he noticed was Pansy had been eased down to the ground safely. Next thing was the glazed look the man's eyes had. One that told Remus just what had happened and where Tom was mentally. In addition, the werewolf saw a very satisfied smile come across the others face. The last thing he noticed was that a small battered body had appeared on the other side of Tom. Sniffing the air to see who it was, Moony whined as he levitated the girl and gently placed her onto the bed next to Pansy. He then quickly took over the task of taking them inside the castle as fast as he could. The werewolf never saw the house elf appear by the other's side and then vanish with her master.
After Severus didn't cry out or scream or even make a sound during the slashing and hexing along with the many Crucios, the Headmaster stopped and looked puzzled.
“The power behind my spells must be waning. Maybe I will take your magic as well. Oh, don't look so alarmed. It will not be the first man's magic I have in me.” Dumbledore said as the menacing twinkle in his eye intensified ten fold; while he drew his arm back to do the wand movements involved in casting the spell that had become his favorite.
“NO!!”
The old man spun around to find himself face to face with a very pissed off Harry Potter.
“Harry, my boy. How did you get in here? Never-mind that. I am so thankful that you managed to escape from Voldemort. As you can see, I discovered Snape here torturing poor Ms Lovegood and took matters into my own hands. After all, as Headmaster of this school, it is my responsibility to keep the children safe.” Dumbledore was trying to portray innocence as he circled around Severus, as far away from Harry as possible; keeping him in his line of sight the whole time.
As Harry looked around he saw that Severus was not injured too bad. However, there was a pale battered body on the floor across the cell. With a wave, the person was transported to the hospital wing and bound it to it so they could not leave until Harry saw to them.
With all his power and the knowledge he had about the evil bastard's doings, he was scared.
'Oh shit! What was I thinking? I can't do this alone. Uncle Tom!!' Harry instantaneously felt the presence of his uncle through their link. It was just the moral and confidence boost he needed to finally confront the one that has ruined his and so many others lives.
“Enough of your bullshit lies! I will have you know, as the OWNER of this castle, I am able to come and go whenever and however I choose. Yes, you heard right: I own Hogwarts.” Harry said smugly at the dumbfounded look on the old man's face.
“That's not possible!! The only way to 'own' Hogwarts is to be blood of two or more of the founders, I made certain that would never happen as only the owner can override the Headmaster.”
“Oh it's very possible. I am Head of Gryffindor AND the Heir of Slytherin. Oh, and would now be a good time to tell you that SEVERUS is my LIFE-MATE and we are bonded with the Mensbodig
Sawolhairto. I was never held as prisoner. That was all a ruse to piss you off and so you wouldn't punish my friends. I know that Tom is my great-uncle and what you did to my Grandparents. And let's see, oh yes, SIRIUS BLACK was my father. He and James Potter polyjuiced as one another because they didn't trust you. Hmmmm, oh yeah.......my mother, whom you also killed, created the counters for ALL the curses you put on Tom. Only one remains. And that too will soon be broken. YOU, Albus, will pay for what you have done to the members of the Wizarding world for so long. I don't know how just yet; but you will pay!” With a blink of his eye, Harry had petrified the man and bound his magic. With a snap of his fingers, Albus Dumbledore disappeared from Hogwarts; only to instantly reappear in a special cell in the dungeons of Slytherin Castle.
Harry then quickly went to his love's side and laying a hand on his heart, prayed to all that was magical to not let him die and heal him. In a blinding flash of gold, the two found themselves in the infirmary to the shock of Poppy.
“What in the wo.......OH dear! Severus!!!!!” The woman exclaimed seeing her friend in such a state. Immediately she busied herself with casting every spell she could think of the repair the damage that bastard had done. Again.
“Pop, there was someone in the cell when I got there.....”
“She is here. She will recovery from her injuries. For now she is in an induced healing coma.” The mediwitch cut in before Harry got too involved with the young lady's condition.
Harry never left Severus' side as the only one he knew could save him worked for hours to do just that. However, while he sat quietly watching the woman work, Tom and he discussed what to do with and about Dumbledore. The young man wasn't sure when he had opened the link to his uncle but he was grateful for him being there with him. If only in his head.
