Chapter 31: Feeling Helpless
Audrey was stuck in a series of giggles over Severus' accusation of her friend making a mess on his clothing. Much as people would argue, the potions master actually was a clean freak, and hated dirty things.
So he picked one of the dirtiest skills to master in. He made no sense half of the time to her.
Daisy's face had flushed red and she let out an embarrassed giggle. "I do apologize about that. It seems the animungus side of me has yet to be able to hold her bowel moments. Still learning that, you see." She giggled uneasily again.
Severus shifted his eyes from her, not entirely enthused by her giggles. "Yes, well, it took me two hours to remove the stain."
"Severus!" Audrey laughed. "Stop now, before you sound more gay than you have already!"
Severus stiffened, feeling insulted. "I am not-"
"Well, I know that!" Audrey giggled. "Come sit down. Meet Daisy, and then we can all talk."
Severus nodded. He certainly wanted answers. "Pleasure..." he said slowly to Daisy, wrinkling his nose. "In meeting you... Miss-?" He didn't even know if she was married or not.
Daisy waved her hand at him in dismissal. "None of that formal rubbish now, Severus! My name is Daisy Wren, but call me Daisy."
"You sure I can't call you by your bird name?" He cocked an eyebrow up, smirking.
"You're such a kidster! No, Daisy is fine-in this form." She winked.
Daisy didn't act any much differently than her Tweeters form.
"If I do go to sit down-" he gestured to the chair next to Daisy. "-you're not going to try to prune my hair, are you?" He asked dryly.
"Of course not!" Daisy's face turned red again, and she glanced away from him.
Audrey burst out laughing and Severus chuckled, who finally sat down in the chair.
"Now all joking aside, do tell me everything, ladies."
And so it began...
Audrey's health had started declining in early January of this year. In March, she had passed out from weakness, and had been sent to a muggle hospital where they had claimed she had some infection that would lead to her death.
Daisy, being a friend of Audrey's, who had the same rare disease, and had met Audrey through the same special Healer for their condition, knew of a hospital that treated rare magical diseases. She told Ted about it, and Ted had allowed Daisy to make the arrangements for the transfer.
Since Ted was not known as an abuser at the time, and he and Audrey had been going steady for nearly sixteen months, neither witch thought it was no issue to grant the man temporary custody of Andrew until Audrey went through her treatment that would cease the attacks that her body was doing to itself.
While Daisy had given Ted an update on Audrey though, she had noticed that both boys started acting a bit odd, and immediately alerted Audrey about it. Audrey, at this time, was in the middle of the preparations of her treatment to go into the medical induced coma, wasn't all together in her mind, and didn't understand much what Daisy was saying to her.
Daisy suggested that she could go undercover as her newly animungus self, and make sure Andrew was doing alright in his new home. Audrey had distantly agreed.
It only took Daisy a week to realize that she needed to get Andrew out of there.
"And Langston?" Audrey had asked the night that Andrew was going to be sent off to Sirius. Her body had adjusted enough for her to comprehend what was going on at this point, but she would be put under in only twelves hours at that moment.
"There's nothing we can do about him..." Daisy said tearfully. "I can only save Andrew, unless Langston has other family?"
Audrey shook her head. "I'll help him as soon as I can." She hugged her son one last time. "Take care of him." She whispered to Daisy, who then nodded.
"I'll keep an eye on Langston too." Her friend assured.
"Thanks." Audrey had sniffed.
"And you didn't tell Ted that you sent Andrew off to his father?" Severus asked.
"It was my idea. You see, he hasn't alerted the authorities about the boy's disappearance." Daisy informed.
Severus raised an eyebrow. "He hasn't?"
"Well, a criminal certainly doesn't want a bunch of police around him, would he?" Daisy pointed out.
"No, probably not." Severus said with a shake of his head.
"Daisy says that he can go to prison for child endangerment, failure to report a missing child, and child abuse. It's all enough to send him away long enough for Langston to age."
Severus nodded. "Legal actions."
"But I have to wait until I can get strong enough to return there."
"You aren't going back there, Audrey." Severus said sternly. "You aren't going near that man."
Audrey snorted. "I can take care of myself, Severus, I don't need some protector."
Severus sighed. "Let me go with you then."
Audrey pursed her lips together in thought.
"Can't hurt, Audi." Daisy said with a shrug.
"Fine then, Severus, if you really want to get into my mess, so be it."
"Thank you." He stood up. "I will return tomorrow to see how you are feeling."
Audrey held out her hand to him, to which he took. "I've missed you guys, you know." She smiled.
"Everyone's missed you too. Get better." He then left the room, closing the door behind him. He sighed before walking off.
That witch hasn't changed a bit. As much as she wanted to be a Ravenclaw, she should had been a Gryffindor. He shook his head, chuckling at the thought.

"Where is Audrey Grady?!" Severus demanded at the help desk two weeks later.
"She is not in her room?" The woman asked.
"I wouldn't be here asking about her whereabouts if she was, now would I?!" Severus snarled.
The woman's eyes grew wide in fear at his dark voice. "I will send someone to search for her."
Severus tapped the top of the desk with his knuckles, waiting to see if anyone found her. Tweeters came swooping in, landing on his shoulder. "Now what?" He grumbled.
The bird let out a high pitched chirp.
"In case you haven't realized, I don't speak twitter, or whatever you would call it."
Tweeters fluttered to the ground and transformed into Daisy. "If you're looking for Audrey, she has went off to see Ted."
"Shit!" Severus apparated right then, taking the apparation route to Ted's place.
He met Audrey along the way. She was sitting on a curb of pavement in a small town of Scottland, rocking back and forth, breathing heavily.
He sighed in relief, when he saw her, and cleared his throat coolly. "What were you thinking?!" He demanded, causing her to jump, having not noticed him. "You could have injured yourself!"
"I'm strong enough to check up on him!" She insisted.
"That's why you are sitting at the curb; thoroughly exhausted!"
She put her head into her hands. "I feel completely useless in that room, Severus! All I think about is how he could be hurting that boy!"
Severus set his jaw. "Maybe you're strong enough to get out of that hospital."
She looked up at him. "And where will I go?"
"If you wouldn't decline my invitation- my house. I have a spare room, and I can even bring Andrew by to visit, if you want. Langston too."
Audrey shook her head. "I still can't do a lot of things on my own..."
"I am sure I could get one of my house elves to assist with anything you need."
"How on earth can you afford a house elf?!"
Severus chuckled, and helped her up to her feet. "I have five, actually, it was my Prince inheritance when my Grandfather died."
"Five?!" She squeaked.
"That seems to be the only reaction I get from anyone I tell this too." He smirked before apparating them back to Muggle London.
