Last Time:
Lucius saw the note crumble into ash once it wasn’t needed anymore and he smirked. He had much to do in the morning …
XXXXXXXXXX
Euphemia and Fleamont smiled as they walked out of the floo and into one of their new sanctuary buildings. They found Lyall laying out the colorful sample panes of glass and other materials that looked especially dazzling in the early morning light. After looking through the samples the three of them eagerly went around the first house. By the time they finished discussing which windows would be stained glass they heard a guest arrive.
“Were we expecting anyone?” Euphemia asked the two wizards with her, but since Lyall and Fleamony looked just as confused as her they decided to go back downstairs. “Agent Jackson? Oh Merlin! Did something happen?”
Gill nodded casually, “Yes. There was an incident last night. It involved injuries mainly to Severus so you all weren’t contacted. However, I thought I should bring it up … plus, Remus asked me to deliver his letter since there wasn’t any time.” He said casually as he handed a letter over to Lyall.
“Did the lack of time have something to do with what happened? Is Severus ok?” Lyall asked as he took the letter. He had to say something just to keep his mind away from the distracting fluttering in his chest and the spark that zipped through him as their fingers brushed together for a moment.
Euphemia nodded worriedly, “Was it his potions or an injury?” She asked while taking a quick curious glance at Lyall who was reading the letter from Remus.
“Actually it was Lily related.” Gill said and in an instant the atmosphere changed. Everyone, even Lyall, looked at him seriously and were waiting for an explanation. “In short, Lily and Peter managed to slip Severus a homemade potion that re-breaks old broken bones, but doesn’t heal them.”
“Oh Merlin!” Euphemia gasped in horror just like Lyall and Fleamont.
Fleamont wisely put an arm on his wife’s shoulder before she could start hunting Lily, “Is Severus ok? What’s going on with James and Sirius?”
“What about Remus? She didn’t try to hurt Remus, right? Were they both caught? They have to be if she had an ankle monitor, right?” Lyall asked, temporarily forgetting the letter in his hand.
The Auror chuckled sheepishly, “Severus and Lucius were hurt. Lily used a method that didn’t just swap potions, but also exploded. That’s why both were hurt, but both are going to be ok. Severus is back at home for some bed rest. He would’ve been in a much worse state if James didn’t find a blood restorer and a pain reliever into Severus as fast as possible.”
“James did?” Fleamont asked, a little surprised that his son found the potions. After all, potions weren’t his best subject.
“Making him get a job was a really wise decision it seems.” A very relieved and proud Euphemia said, making Fleamont chuckle.
Gill nodded, “That was fortunate. As for the two culprits, they are going to be arrested. In the meantime, we’ll be reinforcing the school. Remus actually helped with that. He’s apparently quite skilled in construction spells.” He commented as he showed them a peek of the map.
Lyall’s eyes widened as he looked at the map, “That’s impressive … oh, he must’ve gotten in my old books.” Lyall chuckled, simply happy that it worked out.
Fleamont sighed, “I wish I had a map like that. It would’ve kept me from being late so many times.” He muttered jokingly, but turned back to Gill with a serious look. “Will Peter and Lily be caught soon?”
“Depends on how everything goes. I have a feeling being with Lily is already a punishment.” Gill commented casually and seemed amused by something, which could be the blush on Lyall’s cheeks as he finally finished the letter. “I should go. I’ll keep you all in the loop as much as I’m allowed.” He said and without any hesitation he kissed Lyall right before flooing away.
Euphemia smiled as she looked at Lyall’s blushing face, “I hope you can share how that’s going as we talk windows.” She said cheerfully before they continued their earlier conversation back upstairs.
XXXXXXXXXX
“Why are you on the floor? Wake up.” Lily said while poking Peter in the ribs with her toe.
Peter woke up and winced in pain as he tried to move off the floor, “I was sneaking around … as a rat … someone saw me. Pretty sure they hate rats.” He murmured between pants and strained grunts.
That was, of course, far from the truth. In fact, he was tortured by Voldemort for a few reasons. One of which was for never mentioning that he had prior history with Lily. Another reason was because the Aurors were partly aware of what Peter has been doing. Granted, his situation would be far worse if the Aurors knew about the Death Eater connection. However, it sounds like they were only aware that he works with Lily. Thankfully, that meant no added ministry efforts were directed towards Voldemort and Peter was allowed to live.
The last reason for his pain was for simply being late. Voldemort did not appreciate that Peter took a nap first before reporting in. With all those reasons it’s was no surprise that he was hit with a torture curse. Thankfully, it wasn’t one of the experimental curses so he managed to live and get back to the hideout. Unfortunately, he was still weak so he ended up passing out on the floor where Lily found him.
“That was stupid.” Lily muttered in annoyance, but sighed when Peter stumbled slightly as he got to his feet. “I’d help heal you, but I have nothing for potions … is it possible to get back-“
“Not a chance.” Peter groaned as he lowered himself into a chair. “That’s what I checked. The Aurors lost our trails, but they’re locking down Hogwarts. We won’t be getting back in.” He quickly lied to the witch.
In reality Voldemort mentioned what Lucius had already reported. It was a good amount of information delivered painful bouts of torture. That was a terrible learning method, but he definitely recalled most of it and won’t be late to make any reports again.
“Yeah … I should’ve expected that.” Lily murmured and fell silent for a couple minutes much to Peter’s relief. However, that peace didn’t last long. “Can you get me a cauldron?”
“Why?” Peter grumbled in pain, but he frowned when the witch refused to answer. “This place is a hideout that belongs to the person who gave me the ring. You know, the ring that broke your monitor. I bet there’s something around here that can help … besides, I can’t really move right now.” He said while waiting for his body to fully recover.
“You moved to the chair.” The witch mumbled as she left to look for the item she wanted.
That comment made Peter’s jaw drop in shock at the sheer audacity and lack of sympathy. After everything he has done so far and getting caught in her explosion she still acts this way. It was enough to make him tempted to tell her that Voldemort was his boss. Just the thought of her freaking out made him smirk, but he knew that wouldn’t be wise especially when he can barely move.
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus sighed, “Bed rest again.” He mumbled as he relaxed against one of the soft pillows in his bed at home. “I hope this ends soon .”
Yes, the care he has received has been wonderful. The Slytherin never felt so cared for and had so much help. However, he will be happy when he will no longer be in pain and doesn’t need a constant stream of potions. Or in this case, he’d actually like to get something to help ease pain. A bruise healing ointment would be great right about now.
Unfortunately, Mathias and the other healers were worried about the specific potion he was tricked into taking. No one was sure what would react with the tiny amount of residue from the experimental potion still in him. Of course, they had no choice but to risk giving him a skele-gro for his bones. However, he was told to avoid everything else until he’s back at school, which should give the last bits of residue time to leave his body. While that’s a nice break from his dizzying potions it means he had to deal with the mending bones and bruising without anything.
“At least my nose is fixed.” Severus said, trying to find the silver lining in this situation. As horrified as he was at Lily’s actions he was intrigued to see what his nose would look like without the breaks. “Once the bruises go away …”
In the middle of his sentence his hand was subconsciously reaching up to touch his sore black and blue nose. Just by chance the sleeve of his pajama shirt brushed his lips. It was enough to remind him of something. In fact, he remembered that he did have two other potions besides the skeleton-gro. However, when he remembered the blood restorer and pain reliever he remembered how they were administered.
Severus let his fingers trace his lips, “Why did he do that?” He murmured softly to himself as he thought about James Potter pushing the potions in him. “It was soft …” Severus mumbled, but his face slowly turned red as he focused on the feeling of James’ lips on his more than the potions. “Does that … was that … a kiss?” Severus stuttered, but when he felt his heart skip a beat he moved to bury his face in his pillow. That reflexive action to hide his embarrassment ended up hurting his nose and making him yelp in pain.
“Severus?!” Nicholas’ worried voice was heard saying along with the sound of fast footsteps. “Are you ok? Do you need me to get you anything?” The worried old wizard asked as he opened the door and walked right up to Severus’ bed. His eyes widened slightly when he saw Severus tear up while slowly sitting up and rubbing his nose.
“I’m ok. I just pressed my nose against the pillow.” Severus murmured trying to ignore the gentle hand that touched his face. The unexpected pain caused a few tears to fall from his eyes.
Nicholas brushed the tears gently away, “Oh dear … I wish you could have something for those bruises. The ministry finished examining Lily’s potion and gave a copy of the results to Sebastian and Mathias. Hopefully, they can get a solution ready soon. You shouldn’t have to be in pain for the rest of the week.” Nicholas said sadly as he gently examined the bruised nose and felt the flushed cheeks, “You sure that’s all? You feel a little warm.”
Severus felt his heart flutter again as he remembered why he was blushing, “It’s nothing.” He said almost shyly as he pulled slightly away from his grandpa’s hands.
Nicholas looked at his grandson curiously, “Nothing?” He pondered out loud casually and frowned as he saw the flush darken. “Is something on your mind?”
After a few moments of silence the young wizard nodded slowly, “Kind of.” Severus admitted quietly. “James gave me some potions.”
Nicholas smiled softly when he realized what his grandson meant, “He did and I’m thankful for that. Despite the risks of reacting with Lily’s potion the healers say that if he didn't it would've been too late. It bought enough time for them to get to you. James is a bit of an idiot boy, but he cares.”
Severus let his fingers touch his lips for a moment, “Cares … he was just helping me.”
The old wizard immediately noticed the thoughtful tone in his grandson’s voice, “Did James do something?” He asked, but then he realized what Severus implied when he saw the slight touch to his lips. “We were so worried it never occurred to me that no one really explained how James put the potions in you. Am I correct in assuming that he used mouth to mouth?”
A deeper shade of pink appeared on Severus’ cheeks as he nodded, “Yes. I’m probably overthinking it.“
“You mean that the mouth to mouth was more of a kiss?” Nicholas asked, having a feeling he knew where this would go and when Severus nodded it confirmed his suspicions. “I don’t think James intended to do anything beyond saving you.” He said honestly.
Severus sighed in relief and, much to his surprise, a little disappointment, “I’m not sure why I thought that.”
“Actually I’m not surprised you did considering all the other signals James has been sending.” Nicholas said and sighed when he saw Severus look confused only for his eyes to widen right after. “Don’t strain yourself.” He warned Severus when he looked like he was about to move too fast.
The confused Slytherin slowed down a bit as he moved his body back so he could lean against the headboard, “But … since when?” He asked, only vaguely aware of his grandpa adjusting the pillow so he leaned on that instead of the hard bedframe.
Nicholas chuckled, “Longer than you might think. I have a feeling it might bother you if you don’t know so I’ll tell you what his parents think, but don’t let it bother you, ok? You need to recover.” He said gently.
Once Severus nodded, Nicholas started revealing everything about James' crush …
