Chapter 3:
Harry shifted a little in Severus's arms when he heard the song of both birds. "Lucien, Damien." He murmured. "Where were you two when Kelli needed you?" Harry tried to move away from Severus, but the older wizard was having none of it.
"Do you know these birds, Harry?" Severus asked softly.
"Yes." Harry answered. "The white one is Damien and the black one is Lucien. They've been in the family for generations, from what I've read about them. They were named the opposite of what they are as a kind of joke. Damien is supposed to mean dark/tamer while Lucien is supposed to mean light."
"I see." Severus stated.
"Kelli?" Harry demanded in a whisper.
It was right about then that Madame Pomfrey came over to the bed with Harry in it. "She should be fine after she gets some rest." Pomfrey said. She raised an eyebrow at the Potions Master in a silent question. "Severus?"
"Well, how else was I going to get a calming draught into him while you were looking after his sister?" Severus snapped. He wasn't ready to move quite yet and he refused to say anything about still having Harry in his arms. Just a moment longer was all that he wanted.
"Sister?" Pomfrey gasped. "But how?"
"How in the bloody hell would I know?" Severus growled as he got up from the infirmary bed and Harry sat up by himself. Their moment together was done, for now. "Potter, would you care to explain?"
"No, not right now." Harry sighed. "Not when the other teachers are heading this way as this very moment." He looked at both phoenixes and swore. "Shit! Lucien! Damien! Get back to Paradise before anybody else sees you. I'll call to you when you're needed again."
"Potter, watch your mouth." Severus hissed as both birds vanished in a flash of light.
"Not now, Professor." Harry stated as he stood up and walked over to his sister's side. "I have too many other things to worry about right now other then censoring my language." He looked to the medi-witch. "How long before I can get her back home where she'll be safe?" He demanded coldly. "On behalf of my sister and as the Head of the Potter line I am envoking the Healer/Patient confidentiality. I'm sorry to have to do this to you, Madame Pomfrey, but I can't let anyone else know who she is and what her condition is."
"Harry…" Pomfrey started. "She should stay here for at least a week, if not more. And I would not have revealed anything about her without her permission, or yours, but I am thankful that you envoked the right when you did. Now I cannot talk to anyone who isn't already here about anything I have learned about your sister, even her name. At least left her stay here to recover."
"No." Harry said firmly. "She isn't supposed to be here. No one in the wizarding world was supposed to know about her and the others until after the war is done. I won't have anyone in this world using any of my siblings against me." He stated as he picked up his sister. He turned toward his mate. "Please understand, sir, I have to leave. I have to get her back home. She'll be in too much danger here. And by default that would also increase the danger to me and those around me."
"Potter, she needs to recover." Draco spoke up for the first time. "Let her rest here. What could be the harm?"
"The harm, Malfoy?" Harry laughed bitterly. "I will not allow her to be manipulated the way I have been since entering the wizarding world. Hell, I've been manipulated ever since my parents died, but it increased once I came to the wizarding world. That, and the enemies of my mother's family would be able to track her here. I need to get her home now, where she'll be safe. Then I have to get Kally back from the rebels, if that is who has her."
"I… I could help you protect her if she stays." Draco said quietly.
Harry gave his rival a knowing look. "I don't doubt that, Malfoy, but there is more going on here than what either you or Professor Snape know of. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to leave now before it's too late." Just then the doors to the infirmary opened and the other teachers poured in. "Fuck, I gotta go, now."
"I don't think that is wise, Harry." Came the stern voice of the Headmaster. "I'm afraid that I cannot allow you to leave the school grounds during this dangerous time."
"Unfortunately, you have no say in the matter, Headmaster." Harry said coldly. "This is none of your business and I would appreciate it if you stay out of it. This is a private matter, so back the hell off." He knew that he was acting like he was under some kind of spell and that suited him just fine because the staff at Hogwarts could not know what was really going on. He definitely had his acting cut out for him and put more to the test than any other year at the school.
"Harry, be reasonable." Dumbledore said. "Let's talk this out, shall we?"
"Fuck off, old man!" Harry snapped, making everyone but the three that were behind and next to him think that he was under some kind of spell or bewitchment. "This is none of your concern, so back off. I'm warning you." He was becoming agitated very quickly and only Pomfrey, Draco, and Severus noticed it.
"I'm afraid that I cannot let you leave, Harry. Especially while you are acting so unlike yourself at the moment." Dumbledore said with disappointment in his tone. "Now put the young lady down and we can talk about this. I'm sure we can figure out what has been done to you that is making you act like this."
Harry looked to Severus and silently asked him to look into his mind. 'What are you up to, koneko?(Kitten)' Severus asked softly after he cast the spell silently.
'Don't worry about it right now.' Harry replied. 'I have a favor to ask of you and your godson.'
'Oh?' Severus inquired. His curiosity was perked.
'If I leave Kelli with you and Malfoy, will you both protect her no matter what the cost may be?' Harry demanded. 'Can I trust you both to keep what you have learned about her to yourselves as well?'
'Of course, but why do you ask?' Severus glared. 'What are you planning?' He hissed coldly.
'As long as you don't know, the better for you and that way you can't stop me. And you won't get in trouble this way either.' Harry stated as he handed his sister to the older man. 'Take care of her for me, will ya? She'll know what to do when she gets her strength back and if you and Malfoy are nice enough to her then she might bring you both along. Keep her identity a secret and keep her out of Dumbledore's hands, no matter what..'
Severus took Kelli into his arms as Dumbledore approached Harry. "That's it, my boy, now why don't we go up to my office to discuss this? I'm sure we can work everything out. Severus, why don't you and Draco come along as well, and bring the young lady with you." There was a strange gleam in his eyes as he said that that immediately put Harry on his guard. There was something in that look that Harry didn't like whatsoever.
"I don't think so, Headmaster. As of now both Snape and Malfoy are my prisoners." Harry snarled coldly. 'On second thought, I'm taking all three of you with me. He's up to something and I don't like it at all.' Harry snapped silently before he grabbed both Severus and Draco before vanishing from sight and from Hogwarts all together.
