Summary: Draco finds Severus drunk upon his and Emberly's return home...
Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 23: Draco
When Draco returned home with Emberly in toe, he certainly didn't expect to see his godfather sitting on the couch with a crumpled piece of parchment in one hand a half-filled glass of firewhiskey in the other. His potions bag was still on the table where Draco had left it the afternoon before, right next to said mostly empty bottle of whiskey.
Draco let out a sigh and turned to the dosing child in his arms, "Emberly," he said softly, "I'm going to take you to bed so that you can rest some more. I know your still tired so no arguing."
"Yes Papa…" was her mumbled reply.
Ignoring Severus on the couch, Draco left the living room and headed towards the stairs that would lead to the bedrooms. He went down the hallway and stopped at the room next to the one he had designated for Harry. Walking in, there was a bed against one wall, a window with an accompanying seat against another, across from the bedroom door, with a book case on one side and small writing desk on the other. Against the wall opposite the bed, was a wardrobe and a vanity.
The walls were painted a light pink with a mural of a garden on all the walls that he had asked Tilly to do the night before. He quickly moved over to the bed, and using on hand, surprisingly well for his first time, pulled the light blanket back and gently settled Emberly down on the soft mattress.
"Shh, get some sleep, Little One, the potions are still doing their job," Draco whispered pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
"Daddy…?" she asked sleepily.
"I don't know where he is at the moment, but once I find him, I will send him here for you, alright?" Draco asked as he pulled the blanket back up and tucked her in. He watched her nod and bury her head into the pillow with a soft smile. Once he was sure she was asleep once more, Draco turned and quietly left the room.
With the door closed, Draco softly called out, "Tilly!"
There was a 'pop' and a voice squeaked, "Master Draco call for Tilly?"
"Yes, I have two questions. The first being, where is Harry? The second, why is Severus sloshed on the couch?" He watched as his loyal elf twisted her hands and shifted from foot to foot in nervousness. "Tilly? What happened last night?"
Master Severus bes asking Tilly to find Master and brings him home. Tilly finds Master and tells him that other Master wished to sees him right aways, but was told not to tell Master which other Master calls for him. Tilly brings Master home and leaves before Master Severus and Master talk. But Till wanting to make sure Masters bes alright, listened to Masters through the door."
She started twisting her ears at this point and Draco was of a mind to let the poor elf go and wake his godfather up. Before he could do so, Tilly continued, "Master Severus asked about Little Miss, so Master tells Master Severus, but Master Severus tells Master not to lie. Tells Mater to tell Master Severus the truth. So Master tells Master Severus that Master is Master of Death and the Little Miss was killed my her first father and that Death brought Little Miss to him."
"I see," Draco drawled, wondering what state Harry must be in if Severus is drunk on the couch, "Go on Tilly."
"Master then tells Master Severus how he sleeps for so long. Then Master Severus tells Master that he "heard", but Master was confused. Then Master Severus says "I will always love you, my Severus," and Master gets scared and oanics, he does. He then ran and lefts. After Master left, Master Severus starts cursing and hexing and gets bottle and drinks and drinks. Then yous come home with Little Miss and calls for Tilly."
Draco cursed under his breath, aware that his ward is sleeping in the room behind. "Thank you, Tilly. After you tell me Harry's location, you may go back to your other duties."
"Master bes with a little wolf," she said with a small bow and leaves.
Little wolf? She must mean Teddy Lupin over at Aunt Andromeda's. He nods and heads back down the stairs. Upon entering the living room, a second time, Draco lets out a heavy sigh and whispers, "Damn it Uncle, you never had any patience and you always had to know right away. Look at the mess you have made!"
He took the glass of whiskey out of his hand and sets it on the table. He looked at the parchment in his other hand but decides to leave it there so that it doesn't tear. Draco then shakes his shoulder gently, "Wake up Uncle, we have a great deal to discuss, you and I."
Draco watched as Severus jerks awake, hand going for his wand before realizing that it was his godson that woke him. "Draco? What time is it?"
"It's half past 1 in the afternoon Godfather. How long have you been drinking?" Draco countered, sitting on the table in front of the couch.
Severus winced at the time and rubbed his temple, a throbbing headache already making its presence known. "Can you hand me a sobering potion, Draco?" he asked, holding a hand out as he leaned forward, his head down and eyes shut tightly.
"No, I don't think I will. You've made a right mess of this Severus Snape, and before I give you any potion, I want to know why exactly you felt it necessary to inform Harry that you heard his confession before he was ready to inform you himself."
"Draco," Severus growled, "I am not in the mood to play games with you. Hand me my bag and I'll get my potion myself."
Draco ignored the growl and the pointed glare shot his way, "You said I was playing games, Godfather?" he said with a raised brow. "You'll get your potion when you tell me why you said what you did, and not before."
Severus continued to glare at him until he finally fell back against the couch, head resting on the back, tilted up and his eyes clinched. "Fine. I wanted answers and I wasn't willing to wait for you to return home. Especially after the dunderhead left me a letter."
Draco sat up straighter, both brows raised at this, "What letter?" he asked.
Without saying another word, his father figure thrust out the hand that held the crumpled parchment. He took it and gently flattened it on his lap. Once the wrinkles were mostly gone, he read it, his eyes widening as he came near the end.
"Oh Harry, you idiot!" he whispered in exasperation. He quickly took out a sobering potion and handed it to Severus, his hand already held out, waiting for it. Draco knew that if he didn't provide the potion, he wouldn't be receiving any more answers.
Once Severus drank the potion, he waited a few more moments until he heard the sigh of relief from the hangover Severus gave himself. "What happened after you told Harry you heard his confession?"
His uncle sighed and put his head in his hands, "He panicked and ran. I didn't take his words seriously. Potter had never been a coward before, and to see him run from me what I told him, the fear on his face, I never thought…"
"Exactly, you didn't think, Uncle," Draco said, standing and walking over to the fireplace, frustrated. "Harry has very good reason for his panic, for being a coward, even if I do tease him about it." Draco looked over his shoulder so that he could see Severus, "He's been in love with you since the end of 3rd year, and he is centuries old, and has been alone for a very, very long time."
"Centuries?" Severus asked, shocked.
Draco sighed and moved back from the fireplace. "Come on, there are some things you should see. Besides, it would be far easier to show you than to tell you," and with that, he lead his godfather to his office, where his pensive sat.
He walked up to the basin, his wand already at his temple, pulling out memories of the talks he had had with Harry, the trials, especially Severus's, the talks Harry had with Severus while he was still in his coma, and he didn't know that Draco was there. Once they were all in the pensive, he touched a couple of the runes that littered the edge of the bowl, letting it know to show the memories in order, the oldest first.
"Go, watch and learn," Draco told him with a wave of his hand and moved towards his desk where he opened his locked drawer, pulling out the letters Harry had sent him since he first left, at least all the one where his godfather was mentioned, and how terribly lonely he was.
When he looked up next, he saw that Severus had done as he had asked, albeit with no choice to refuse. He stood and went to where his liquor was and pour himself a glass of scotch and waited for Severus to return.
It took close to an hour and a half before Severus came out of the pensive, face pale with shock at what he saw. Draco shook his head and poured another glass of whiskey and handed it to the man once he sat down. I have a letter for you to read. Perhaps you'll understand more as to why he believes he is a 'coward'." He moved over to his desk and picked up the letter Harry had sent soon after Severus first woke up.
He watched as his godfather took the piece of parchment with a shaking hand, setting his empty tumbler on the small table beside his chair. "Draco…" he started, only to be interrupted.
"Read it Uncle, once your done with that one, I have several other on my desk for you to read. I suggest you do so. And while your doing that, I'm going to floo Aunt Andy and check on my friend," he turned around and left without another word.
Draco returned to the living room and took a small handful of floo powder, tossd it into the low flame and called out "Tonk' Abode!" before sticking his head into the emerald fire.
"Aunt Andy?" he called upon seeing no one in the living room.
"Draco, is that you dear?" a voice from the kitchen called before Andromeda steeped into the room, wiping her hands off on a towel.
"Yes, I was just calling to see if Harry is here with you and how he is doing?" he asked, concerned.
"He came back last night about an hour before dinner. He was rather upset and wanted to be alone. I hadn't seen Harry that panicked in all the time I've known him. What on earth happened?" Andy asked, concern lacing her voice as she knelt in front of the fire to see Draco better.
Draco let out a sigh and said, "Though I know what happened, it's not my place to say. How is he today?"
Andy nodded in understanding before she said, "He took Teddy out for the day. He wanted to spend time with him as much as he can before he has to leave again. Or at least that's what he told me this morning after breakfast," she shook her head and continued, "That poor boy has had so much worng done to him, and what ever happened between the time the elf came and got him and he returned here, he is doing a rather good job of hiding his hurt, but I can see it in his eyes, and when he smiles. So much sadness."
Draco surpressed a growl he wanted to let loose at that. Damn it Severus! he silently cursed his godfather. He took a deep breath to calm his anger before turning back to his aunt, "Thank you for telling me. It would, perhaps, be best if he stayed there for the time being. Please inform him that Emberly is well and is home from St. Mongo's, and that she would like to see him when he is feeling up to it."
"Of course, I'll let him know when they come home for dinner." She assured him.
"Again, thank you. I best leave, I've left a guest in my office, and I would prefer to have everything intact instead of broken," and he pulled his head out of the flames, ending the call.
He stood and cast a cleaning charm at himself to get any shoot that clung to him after the call. Draco then headed back to his office, a part of him dreading the reaction Severus would have upon learning of Harry's unwanted immortality.
Please read and review, and, as always, any suggests for future chapter will be taken seriously and most likely implemented, so, feel free to provide any ideas!
