Chapter 28 - Wrath of the Lioness

Lily had enough…

She took out a charmed mirror and snapped, “James!”

Her devoted boyfriend answered at once, “Lily Angel, what can your humble suitor do for you?”

Lily sniffed, humble… James didn’t understand the meaning of the word. “I want to speak to your uncle and Severus’ Great Uncle.”

“I don’t,”

“I do, you send them to get me right now! I’ve had it! I won’t let Severus die, he’s dying James. It’s breaking my heart…” her voice cracked.

Severus was her best friend and the closest thing she had to a brother, she couldn’t lose him. It would destroy Remus and she hated it…

Lily wasn’t being hysterical, she honestly was certain that Severus was dying and they had to save him.

“I’ll floo them, I’ll see if cousin Edgar can get you.” James promised.

“Thank you James.” Lily said tearfully.

“Don’t cry Lil’s, I’m worried too. We’ll fix this, I don’t know how but we will…”

Lily clutched the mirror to her heart and her shoulders shook with silent sobs, Severus was just her friend. How painful was this for Remus?

XooooooX

James kissed the mirror; he would do as Lily asked. What sort of betrothed would he be if he didn’t help her now? He knocked on cousin Edgar’s study door, “Eddy? Can you fetch Lily? Where is Uncle Alphard?”

“Father? I think he’s at the Ministry…”

James scowled, “I need him here, quickly.” Then he darted out to floo Severus’ great-uncle.

The elder Slytherin was of course in his office in the Department of Magical Law.

“Young Master Potter, how can I help you?” Aurelius drawled.

“It is Severus sir, Lily she’s got a terrible feeling. He’s getting more depressed due to how things are at Merrivale and she is worried. Please sir, Remus thinks he’s wasting away…”

“I knew that Sofia disliked how Eileen shamed the family but she doesn’t need to treat Severus like he’s an illegitimate heir. Sofia’s always been cold but this isolating Severus and limiting a young man that emotionally damaged from his friends as well as lover is cruel. I had hoped, never mind. Apparently, she’s treated Severus like he is going to run away like her sister did but with a lot less reason.”

James snorted, “For all his bluster, as Andromeda would put it, Severus hasn’t the testicular fortitude to do such a thing. We’ve got to help him sir…”

Severus, the poor boy was beaten and starved by his Muggle sire as well as neglected by his witch mother. Sirius, James’ idiot cousin had attempted to bully his friend and nearly gotten him killed. Only James and Lily working together had saved Severus from dying or bitten by a feral Remus…

Aurelius nodded, “I’ll speak with Alphard, I’ve spent enough time with your friend to realise he is quite intelligent and that the House of Prince is lucky to have such an heir. Remus is a wonderful young man who cares deeply for my great nephew and Sofia is a fool for not realising it. Hyrum may be the foremost healer but he had a healer he had a great of respect for as well as trust. No matter what Andromeda’s social faults are, it seems that she is a very talented healer.”

James bowed, “Thank you sir.”

The floo closed, the fire extinguishing at once.

James was afraid to get Remus’ hopes up but this was ridiculous…

Sirius ran in panicked, “James!”

James sighed, “What?”

Sirius gasped, “Remus…he FAINTED! He said that something was wrong with Severus and then he toppled. I barely caught him…”

James shook Sirius, “Calm down, where is he?”

Sirius blurted out, “Library?”

James tore out of the parlour, running through Uncle Alphard’s home Maison de La Manche, Lily was right to be worried.

He was only sixteen, this was ridiculous…

James hadn’t see Remus this pale and weak, even after a full moon, he had painfully watched Remus suffer knowing that Severus was unhappy. Cradling his friend, James yelled for an elf.

A Bones elf appeared, “What Master James be wanting?”

“Get Andromeda!”

The elf nodded, bowing before vanishing with a soft pop.

James sat with Remus’ head in his lap, Lily knew…

How his angel know that this might happen, James had no idea but he wondered if it had anything to do with her animagus form’s proneness to pre-cog.

Andromeda returned promptly, after taking one look at Remus, she muttered under her breath, “I told that witch! No she couldn’t listen to a bloodtraitor, I was suspicious about this but no one listens to me much to their own peril.”

James frowned, “Listened to what?”

Andromeda scoffed, “That I had my suspicions that Remus and Severus were soulmates, Remus was nearly as unnerved about his health as your Lily. The only reason that Severus recovered so quickly was because Remus visited nearly every day. Why do you think he had a portkey to Cokeworth?”

James gasped soulmates… Remus was so lucky…

Although looking as his friend, James worried that it might prove more of a curse than a blessing.

An elf appeared, “Master Alphard be headed to Merrivale.”

Andromeda shocked them by lifting Remus and demanding to be taken there.

James stared at the empty carpet once they were gone. It took a while before he gathered his wits enough to send for Lily…

XooooooX

Andromeda arrived to find Uncle Alphard and a vaguely family familiar elder wizard arguing with that hard-headed witch Sofia Prince.

Lucius should have done better to find an appropriate guardian for his young protégé…

“What are you doing here? I thought I told you to keep away from my nephew bloodtraitor!” Sofia hissed.

Andromeda ignored her, “I warned her Uncle Alphard, she did not listen. I treated Severus and watched his condition carefully. Even that young, they were showing signs of being soulmates. Severus is magically and emotional dependant on Remus, Remus is the strong dominant and look at him! Look what you’ve done!”

“The House of Prince deserves better than to have my misbegotten nephew tied to the heir of bankrupt House that has Mudblood in its veins.” Sofia sniffed.

“Remus is a fine young man Sofia; you would know this if you cared to get to know him.” Alphard protested.

“Then you find a suitable match for him!” Sofia retorted coldly. “Only by bonding to someone like the Malfoy heir could our House be redeemed from the mire which my sister’s misstep has immured us.”

Remus’ breathing became more shallow and his heartbeat weakened, causing Andromeda to snap, “If you will excuse me, I have a patient to save.”

“You are not welcome in my House and Severus is not your patient!” Sofia snapped.

Andromeda flounced off, still carrying Remus as she followed her faint connection to Severus’ magic. He felt far weaker than she expected.

She used wandless magic to force open Severus’ door, hurrying inside where she found a fevered Severus naked on the marbled floor of his bathroom.

He lay there in a puddle of blood and bile; he appeared to have fainted and struck his head.

Andromeda cursed, setting Remus on the bedroom floor just outside the bathroom as she examined Severus’ prone shrunken frame.

Her patient had been on the road to recovery when he was in her care, now he looked about as fragile as he had when she first examined him.

She refused to lose him; she put all of her healing training into cleaning Severus up and treating him.

“Remus! Where is,” Lily Evans burst into the apartment, from the sound of his falling to her knees beside Remus. “Merlin, if this is how poorly Remus is, how ill is Sev?” her voice was choked with tears.

“Miss Evans, Lily see to it that Severus’ bed is changed. Once he is stable, I have to put them in bed together. Only close contact will help them, I can heal his injuries but not the damage of being separated from his soulmate.”

Lily trembled as she stripped the bed with magic, using a scrubbing charm on the mattress before making it with a spell. Her left hand still clutching Remus’ hand, as she desparately willed some of her strength into him.

Andromeda levitated her spell-cleaned weaker patient onto a wider conjured stretcher before using magic to place Remus with Severus and pulling them magically to the bed.

By this time, trainee member of the Department of Magical Children, former prefect Aurora Greengrass arrived accompanied by Uncle Alphard, Hit Wizard Aurelius Prince, Lady Sofia and Lucius.

“Lady Sofia I told you that you were needed to be his guardian not his jailer!” Lucius exclaimed trembling with temperamental magic.

“I hoped that an isolated summer would free him from whatever compulsions the Mudblood witch and Lupin boy used. By September he would be free to pursue a more advantageous match.” Sofia sniffed.

“I will be recommending that Severus be placed in the custody of Lord Consort Aurelius Prince; it is unseemly that anyone would attempt to separate them. They are Soul bonded are they not? When I retrieved Severus’ file I was surprised to see that he was recognised as bonded since fall of last year.” Aurora said stiffly.

Sofia let out a gasp of what seemed to be horror, “Severus bonded? Without ceremony?”

Aurelius coughed, “If one is soulbonded then ceremony is unneeded.”

“Lord Consort Prince is correct, even I know this.” Lucius muttered darkly.

Andromeda watched the unconscious couple, casting diagnostic spells every so often while paying only half a mind to the argument.

Lucius seemed to be ignoring Lily Evans, while Uncle Alphard seemed to comfort the shaken witch.

“Once their condition stabilises, then we can move them to Merit Manor. I will have a suite prepared and I will ask Faith to see to it that when she and her sisters shop for their own supplies for the year that they acquire those for Severus.” Aurelius offered.

“We can do it.” Lily piped up, “Severus, Remus and I share the same classes, we would just need their measurements to order their clothes for the year.”

“Remus can stay with you; I did receive permission from his reclusive, workaholic grandfather to stand-in as his guardian for the time being. I agree that Remus and Severus ought to not be separated, as unusual as it is I believe we ought to petition for a bonded student apartment.” Alphard began.

Aurelius snorted, “Our Severus is a Slytherin prefect, he already has an apartment.”

“Yes, that is within Slytherin.” Andromeda retorted. “That is not a safe place for Remus; I agree that they need an apartment outside their respective Houses. It will be far better for their recovery.”

Lucius coughed, “Andromeda has spoken, as unusual as it seems it would be for the best.”

Andromeda’s eyes narrowed at Lucius, his interest in the young Prince heir was unusual to say the least. He paid far more attention to Severus than he did any other younger housemate…

It mattered not, Lucius was engaged to Narcissa by his own consent and they would be bonded.

Sofia had slunk away, leaving the rest of them to hover behind her.

It would be a few hours before Andromeda would consent to moving her patients.

Given that she had been sent for and Severus’ new guardian had not objected to her treatment of the heir to his Birth House, Andromeda was certain that she would be able to put Severus back onto the road to recovery.

This time she hoped that his guardian listened and arranged for mind healing…

Hopefully, this incident would not have long lasting consequences…

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