Assimilation

Pittwitch. My wonderful Beta. Thank you again. Still don�t know what a Mary Sue is though.

Sansa: Grey misty thing (hee hee) was Furiae or mist walker. (Spirit of the mist) Draws on evil thus it enveloped Nina to draw on evil she assimilated from the book. Nina has so much dark inside her (though she not a dark person) that Severus must give light and love as Furiae takes the dark, thus protecting her. I think. ;( That�s how I saw it in my head anyway.

Lynn Prewitt: Wow! Thank you. I can�t get my head through the door now. Lol. If you think you�re a daft git you�ve got the right author. More please.

Chapter 41 Soul searching

�Severus. How wonderful to have you back with us.�

�Thank you Headmaster.�
�And Nina. How are you?�

�I�m okay thanks.�
�Good. I would like you both to come to my office after dinner.�
There were several more greetings for the Potions Master from members of the faculty as they waited for dinner to be served.
They both nodded and as Severus gave his customary scowl across the student body, Nina waved at her friends on the Griffindor and Slytherin tables.
Nina chatted away twenty to the dozen to Severus during the meal. He only managing the occasional nod as she took a bite of her food.

When it was time for dessert he was getting a headache from her incessant cheerful yacketing.
Finally she paused, as if awaiting answer to a question. Severus had no idea what to say since he had been trying his best not to listen as she went on and on about her classes and the Halloween ball and such.
Nina saw the guilty look an his face.

�Have you been listening to me?�

�Not really. No.� He admitted.
�Well thank you.� She told him. Nina was in a huff now.

�What if I was telling you something really important?�

�Were you?�

�Well no. But that�s not the point.�
�No? The point is that you were rabbling and now I have a headache thank you very much.�

When he saw the mischievous vengeful look in her eyes he began to worry slightly.

�Don�t you dare.� He whispered.
Nina said nothing.
When he used his fork to stab a piece of the lemon meringue pie on his plate he jumped.

Someone had jus dared to stab him in the bottom.

He glowered at Nina but both of her hands were above the table. He looked at Flitwick on his other side but he had his back to him as he spoke with Professor Sinistra.

As he stabbed his pie again he jumped again.
Nina accidentally on purpose dropped her napkin and got of her chair to kneel on the floor and retrieve it as Severus� face darkened.

One more stab in the bum later and he threw his fork down and glared at the giggling girl on the floor beside him.

He leaned over her. �Remove it now. Or else.�
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears from trying not to laugh out loud every time he had jumped.

All that she could manage was a nod as she held her hand over her mouth to stifle the giggles. Knowing she could not hold it in any longer she placed herself directly into the Headmasters office and let go her laughter.
Down in the hall Severus could hear her raucous laughter in his mind.

�I shall have my revenge on you tonight.� He thought. He knew that she had heard him as her laughter eased of considerably.
When Severus and Albus entered the office, Nina was on the sofa eating a tub of cheese and onion Pringles. Fawkes was on the back of the sofa preening her hair which was now in a mess with bits sticking up and out all over.
�Hiya. Anyone want a Pringle?� She asked, offering the tub as they sat down.
Albus took some straight away as Severus shook his head not even knowing what they were.
�Go on.� She urged the Potions Master. �There really nice and Morish. And they say that once you pop you just can�t stop.�
He scowled at her as she and Albus struggled to hold in the laughter.

�If you have both quite finished. I believe that we have things to discuss.�
�That is true. As much as I enjoy your youthful exuberance Nina, I am afraid that there are more serious matters to be dealt with.�

�Yes Sir. Sorry.�

Nina sobered up. Harry still needed help and she was sure that Severus wanted to discuss his missing four days.

�Is Harry still seeing Madam Pomfrey?� She asked the Headmaster.

�No. He still had some residual pain but apart from sleeping draughts, we have nothing else that can help him.�

�He doesn�t know then? About the Horcrux I mean?�
�Most certainly not. The only known way of destroying a Horcrux is to destroy whatever vessel it dwells in.�
�Err. No. That�s not quite right. Erm Sir.�
Severus� eyes bore into hers.

�What do you mean, no. Anyone who knows of Horcrux� knows that is so.�
�Well I�m sorry but their wrong. Think about it. When you destroy whatever the piece of spirit or soul is in. That is all you destroy. You can�t kill a piece of soul. It�s not a physical thing that can be broken or smashed. All you do is release it. Let it go.�
�And you know this how?�
�I don�t know how I know. I just do.�
Albus butted in.

�And what happens to the piece of soul once it is released? Where does it go?�

�It just drifts I suppose. It�s got nowhere to go. It doesn�t know what it is because it�s not whole. So it�s just kind of out there. Somewhere. The Horcrux is really just something that holds the piece of soul in one place until it�s needed.�
The two men looked at each other amazed.

�You know.� Albus told him. �That makes so much sense. I would never have imagined that�well I do not know what I could have imagined if I am honest.�
�So you are saying that there are pieces of the Dark Lords soul out there somewhere, just¾
waiting?�

Severus was having difficulty digesting the information. No matter how much sense it made to him.

�Yes Sir. But we can�t go breaking Harry to get that piece of soul out of him.�
�Pity.� He mumbled wistfully under his breath.
�That was nasty.� Nina told him when she heard him mutter.

He simply raised his eyebrows as if to say �I couldn�t care less� .
�We shall have to speak to Harry. The sooner the better.�

Albus put in. Do you have any idea how soon it should be removed Nina?�
Soon. Very soon. Can I check on scaly. He�s gonna get madder. Especially if he�s been reading the papers. All his best lackeys are locked up now and he�ll be ready to blow his top. And when he does, Harry�s gonna suffer. It has to be this weekend.�
�Then I shall speak to him this evening.� Albus told her.�

�How do you intend to proceed?�

�I�.I don�t know to tell the truth. But can I stay and talk to Harry too? Whatever I need to do, it�s gonna hurt him. A lot.�
�Very well. Severus. Do you wish to stay?�
�Oh believe me Headmaster. I intend to be in on this every step of the way.�

�Nina. Would you like to bring Harry to us now.�
Nina nodded at Albus and disappeared. When she appeared in front of him he was sitting at a table in the common room as Hermione forced him and Ron to do their homework.

All three nearly fell of their chairs when Nina appeared.
After the usual greetings she looked at Harry.

�Harry the Headmaster wants to see you.�

�Why?�
�I�m sorry but I can�t tell you here. You have to come now though.�
He packed up his books. He was glad that he did not have to continue with his homework for the moment but he was curious as to why Nina was being so mysterious. His hackles had risen slightly.
Nina grabbed his hand and they appeared in a deserted classroom.

�What�s going on Nina?�
�Harry. I need to talk to you quickly before we go to the Headmasters office. But you have to trust me. Please. I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose. You have to remember that. Whatever you are told up there, remember that I do care about you and I�m only doing this for your own good.�

He looked at her horrified. �What?� He asked. �Nina. What the hell are you on about? Do what to hurt me? Why would you hurt me? How?�

�I can�t tell you anymore Harry. There isn�t time. Just remember what I said.�

She grabbed his hand and they were in the office facing Albus and Severus as Harry tried to figure out what the hell she had just told him.
He shook his head and looked at the two Professors confused.
�I take it that Nina has already told you something of why you are here.� Albus told him.
�Whuur� Was the only sound that came from Harry�s mouth at first.

�Err, I don�t think so. Did you?� He asked Nina.
�No. I didn�t.�
�Good.� Please Harry. Sit down.�

�What�s going on Headmaster?� Harry wanted to know as he sat on the edge of an armchair as Nina sat beside Severus.
�There is no easy way to tell you this Harry. So you must listen carefully.�

Harry�s green eyes moved from one to the other of them as his face grew worried. He nodded.
�You already know that Voldemort has made several Horcrux�s.�

Harry nodded.

�And you know that you released one when you destroyed Tom Riddles diary.�

�Yeah. It was a Horcrux and when the diary was destroyed, so was his soul.�

�No.� Nina butted in.

At his incredulous look she explained what she had told Albus and Severus earlier.
�So his bits of soul are floating about somewhere?�

�Kind of yes.� She told him. �But Harry. We�ve, well I�ve found another piece.�

�You have. Where?�
�That�s the thing. Now keep calm Harry. It�s kind of�.in you.�

Nina winced as she told him.
He stared at her shocked. Then he laughed.

�Yeah right. What is this? Trick Harry day or something?�

Then he saw the Potion Masters face. He had his eyes down. He could not look at Harry.

Albus too had his eyes averted. Only Nina was looking directly at him. Tears streaming down her cheeks.
�Nina. What�s going on?� He asked her quietly.
She took his hands before she spoke.

�Harry. It has to be removed.�

�What� He bellowed at her, jumping up from his chair. �After what you said you want me to sit here while you tell me that I have to die.�
�No Harry. No. You don�t have to die. Please. Sit down. I know this is hard for you but��
�You know nothing Nina.� He shouted. �You walk about here doing exactly what you want. You pop in and out of places whenever you feel like it and no one says a word. But you expect me to trust you and then tell me that I have to die. I tried to help you Nina. I did. I thought we had something in common. And you do this.�

He stormed over to the door.
�No Harry. Don�t. Please.�
He yanked at the door but it wouldn�t open.

�Open the bloody door.� He yelled.
Albus stood up. �Harry.� He said firmly. �You have not heard the full story. No one is attempting to take your life. Now sit down and listen.�

Harry was fuming and terrified at the same time, but he sat back in the chair, his hand in his pocket gripping his wand. He would hex the lot of them if he had to.
He stared hatefully at Nina as she spoke to him.

It hurt her terribly to see him like this.
�Harry. The thing is, if that piece of soul is left in you then you will die for sure. The angrier he gets, Voldemort I mean, the worse it will be on you. And he�s gonna get angrier. Believe me.�

�So I�m damned if I do and I�m damned if I don�t.� He said.
�No your not. It can be taken out, and you wont die when it is. But it�ll hurt. A lot.�

�And after?� He was listening properly now. His anger abated somewhat.
�After, you will just be you. No more headaches. No more scaly in your head. Just Harry.�
Harry remembered the day that Hagrid had first found him in that shack where Uncle Vernon had dragged them to hide in.
�Just Harry� He had told the half giant. �I�m just Harry�.

�So how do you get it out then?�
I don�t know yet.� She told him quietly. �Only that I can. And it has to be done soon.�
�How soon?�

�Tomorrow or Sunday. It depends.�

�On what?�

�What He�s up to. What kind of a mood He�s in. I�m hoping to find out in a bit. Please don�t hate me Harry.�

She sobbed and wrung her hands as Severus once more gave up his hankie to her.
Harry let out a big breath before he answered.

�I don�t hate you Nina. I�m sorry. It�s just a hell of a shock. All this and I shouldn�t have said those things to you.�

He didn�t know what else he could say.
�Oh how touching.� Severus put in sarcastically.
Nina looked at him surprised and Harry threw him a dirty look.
�Now. Nina.� Albus put in quickly as he gave Severus a warning glance. �You were going to see what Voldemort is up to. Would you care to go ahead.�
Nina nodded and looked to Voldemort.

He was calm at the moment but Lucius Malfoy was telling him that he, even with his wealth and influence at the Ministry, was unable to secure the release of any of the inner circle of Death Eaters.

Voldemort�s eyed started to glow as Lucius told him this and he fired a Crucio at the man, causing to fall to the floor as he writhed in agony.

At the same time Harry was starting to feel Voldemort�s anger, as the pain in his scar intensified again.

He grabbed the sofa in an attempt to try and control himself and his hand brushed Nina�s shoulder. Something about that touch must have registered with her because she could feel Harry�s pain for the instant that they had touched.

Nina began to whisper.

�Pat, Nam Iam. Pat, Nam Iam. Pat, Nam Iam. Pat, Nam Iam.�

Over and over like a mantra.
Harry felt the pain begin to subside as Nina kept repeating the same word.

�What�s she saying?� He asked the Headmaster.
�I believe that she is saying �Peace, For Now�. She is attempt empting to instil calm into the mind of Voldemort Harry. Clearly she felt your pain when your hand brushed against her.�

�My hand. But I��

�That matters not Harry. What matters is that you are no longer in pain. Am I correct?�

�Yes Sir. It�s gone.�

Nina�s eyes cleared and she automatically lowered her head to Severus and Albus, as Harry stared when they both put a hand to it.

He wondered what they were doing but didn�t ask. The evening had been too confusing as it was.
As soon as they removed their hands he asked them.

�So now what? I mean if we�re doing this thing on Sunday, what��

�Tomorrow.�
�Pardon?� Severus said.

All eyes had turned to Nina.
�Tomorrow. It has to be tomorrow. He won�t stay calm for long. You can sleep in my room tonight. We�ll do it there first thing in the morning.�
�I think not.� Severus told her. There was no way that he would allow the Potter boy to share her rooms.
�I won�t be there Harry. You�ll have the rooms to yourself.�
�Where will you be then?�

�Somewhere else. That�s all you need to know. If you need anything Kali will get it for you. But it�s better that you stay in there so no one knows what�s going on.�
Harry turned to Albus who in turn nodded in approval.
Nina took Harry�s hand and they were in her rooms. The two men left behind left in the office.
�You know this is a lot to take in Nina. And how come Dumbledor and Snape are taking orders from you?�

�Their not. It�s just that I have to do�whatever I have to do and they know that. I suppose that they just go along with it as best they can, because they haven�t got much choice.�
�So where are you gonna sleep if I�m in here. Snape didn�t look too happy about it and I don�t see why you should give up your room for me.�
She smiled at him.

�Don�t worry about it. I wont be out in the cold. That�s all you need to know. But if you start to get a lot of pain during the night, tell Kali. She�ll come and get me. Okay?�
Harry nodded. What else could he do.
�I�ll leave you to get some sleep. You know where everything is. Your stuffs in the bedroom ready for you.�

�My stuff. But how? No. Don�t answer that.�
�Night Harry.�
�Night Nina.�

Harry wondered where she had gone to when she disappeared.

Nina was right next door though. Waiting for Severus. She put her own silencing charm on his quarters. Sound could come in but it could not go out.
When Severus entered his study he knew that Nina was there. He could sense her. He looked into his bedroom and found her curled up fast asleep in his bed. He was relieved to see her there but did nothing to disturb her. None of them knew what would happen tomorrow so he decided to let her sleep. She would probably need it.

He had been with Albus for the past two hours as they debated what they though may or could happen when Nina removed Voldemort�s soul from the boy. After several good brandy�s they were non the wiser and decided to call it a night.

So after he had used the bathroom and undressed, he undressed and slid quietly into bed.
Nina stayed asleep but automatically turned to him and snuggled up, wrapping her arms and legs around his body.
Although he could not stop his cock from twitching at the contact, but he ignored it and snuggled himself into her arms. He soon fell asleep, just enjoying the contentment that being in her arms brought to him.
�Miss Nina. Wake up. The Potter boy. He is hurting.�

Kali was talking as quietly as she could so as not to wake the Snape.
�I�m coming Kali.� She told her groggily as she slid from the bed.

�Oh it�s cold. What time is it?�

�You is not cold if you is putting some clothes on first Miss. It is four fifteen. Please hurry Miss.�
Nina quickly dressed herself in jeans and a warm jumper as she hurried through the connecting door and into her bedroom to Harry.

She rushed to his side. He was yelling out and thrashing at the bed covers.
�Kali. Go to Severus bathroom and get me all the small green bottles of pain potion. Do not wake Severus whatever you do. No on but you and me can be in here.�
Kali was only gone for a few seconds.

�Here Miss. Seven bottles.�
Nina gave them a quick check. Then she place the same silencing charm on her rooms as she had on Severus�.
�Right Kali. I need you to get some things for me. I want Holly, Aloe, Anise and mistletoe. I need them quick Kali.�
Kali left and Nina sat on the chair next to the bed.

She immediately went into Voldemort�s mind and calmed him as she had the previous evening up in the Headmasters office.
As soon as Harry stopped thrashing she stripped the covers from him and waved her hand over his body, starting at his toes and working up until she reached his chin. There she stopped.

He was magically bound to the bed, his arms by his sides.
Kali reappeared with a large basket containing the things she had asked for.

Nina took the damp Holly and blew on it gently. It dried so that she was able to crush it in her hands and sprinkle it on the bed all around Harry�s form. She placed a sprig of Mistletoe at the head of the bed, then took some Anise more Holly from the basket. This she placed at every door and widow.

The basket she handed to Kali.

�When I tell you Kali, the rest of the Mistletoe is to be burned at every door and window in these rooms. Will you do that?�

�Yes Miss Nina. I is doing whatever you is saying.�

�Good. Next I need some clean cloths and a bowl of warm water. Now remember. No one is to come in here.�
Nina climbed on the bed and knelt at the head of it, placing Harry�s head on her knees.
�Right Harry. I�m really, really sorry but this is gonna be bad.�
Nina leaned forward and placed her hands on his shoulders.

�Appello Nina unus iser separatus spiritus.�

I Nina call 1 wretched separate spirit/soul.

She repeated this four times.
Harry screamed in agony as the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead ruptured and burst open wide.

Nina wanted to scream herself as a sphere of black light forced it�s way through the wound on Harry�s head. She could feel the dark evil emanating from it.

�Spiritus vode retro Tom Riddle. Nina Redo. Relinquere semper.�

Spirit/soul go back. I Nina give back. Relinquish always.

Again she repeated these words four times.

The black sphere gave off a haunting wail as it hurtled around the room.

�Dixi�

She cried. Her sobs harsh and threatening to overtake her.
The sphere zoomed through the window.
�NOW KALI. BURN IT NOW.�
Kali lit the Mistletoe at lightening speed as the black sphere attempted to regain entrance. It tried and tried to get through but could not pass through the Holly, Anise and burning Mistletoe. Finally it left.
Nina sighed her relief. She moved away from her place at the head of the bed, carefully lowering Harry�s head to the pillow.

He was moaning and crying, his voice hoarse from the screaming.
She sprinkled the Aloe into the bowl of water and added one of the bottles of healing potion to it.

Using her fingers she mixed it around and soaked one of the cloths in the mixture before gently placing it onto Harry�s wound.

�non doloris�

Not pain

Again she repeated for times.

Harry stilled and quieted.

Then she whispered.

�capus reparo�

Mend head

Nina removed the cloth and bent over his head. She allowed a single teardrop to fall into the open wound. She used several more cloths, adding another bottle of healing potion and more Aloe each time. Each cloth was soaked in the same mixture to keep dabbing at Harry�s wound which became smaller and fainter with each application.

When she removed the last cloth there was no sign of his scar.

Taking the last green bottle in her hand she lifted Harry�s head and helped him to swallow the potion.

Once more she waved her hand over his form. This time she waved from neck to toes before covering him up.

�Sleep well Harry.� She told him softly before turning and heading back to the connecting door.

�Kali.�
�Yes Miss/�

�Thank you Kali. You did really well.�

�You is doing more well Miss. Go have some sleeps now.�
Nina gave a big yawn. �Night Kali�
Only an hour after she had left it, she climbed back into Severus� bed and immediately fell asleep.

Severus did not even stir. He knew nothing of what had just occurred.
Oddly enough Nina woke first that Saturday morning. She had a quick shower in Severus� bathroom and dressed.

When she walked back into the bedroom Severus was awake.

�Your up early. It�s only seven o�clock. Why did you not wake me?�
�I don�t know. You just looked so peaceful and cute lying there with your mouth wide open as you drooled.�
�Argh!� He lunged at her and grabbed her, pulling her onto the bed. �I, Severus Snape, do not drool. Nor am I in any way cute.�
�Yes you do and yes you are.�
�Really. And how cute does this feel?�

He asked her as he grabbed her feet and tickled her mercilessly.

He only stopped when Kali came to find out why her mistress was screaming hysterically.
Nina was gasping for breath as she laughed.

�That was cruel Severus. You know how ticklish I am.�
�Of course I know. I would not bother otherwise.� He had been unable to help laughing with her. �Just remember what I can and will do the next time you call me cute, or tell me that I drool when I do not.�
Nina climbed off the bed and moved well out of his reach.

�You are and you do.� She told him again before disappearing.
She walked into her bedroom and looked at Harry. Kali must have changed the bedding because it was clean and Nina knew that it was not when she left him early this morning.

She waved her hand and the Holly, Aloe, Anise and Mistletoe disappeared.

Kali had already moved the bowl, cloths and empty potion bottles.

�Severus.�
�What do you want minx. I am in the shower. Unless of course you wish to join me.�
�Not this time. It�s just that I need to tell you that your out of those little green bottles.�
�I have plenty in my bathroom cabinet. And why are you suddenly so concerned? Do you have something special in mind?�
�No. But I used them all last night.�
Severus spluttered and got soap in his eyes.

�Ow! Bugger. You what?� He shouted. Forgetting that they were doing mind speak, so Nina didn�t hear him.
By then Harry had begun to stir so Nina tuned out on Severus and sat on the side of the bed next to Harry.

�Hiya Harry. Sleep well?�
�Nina.� He said startled as he pulled the covers up to his chin. �What are you doing in here? I�m in bed.�
She chuckled and ruffled his hair. �Well I kinda guessed that. How are you feeling?�
�Err, fine why. Oh Gods. Do you want to start now?�
Nina chuckled harder and shook her head, ripped the covers off him and grabbed his hand.

�Come on. I want to show you something.�

Harry tried to grab the covers back but she didn�t give him a chance. It was either follow or get dragged to the floor. He only just managed to grab his glasses of the night stand as she pulled him over to the mirror.

�What are you doing Nina? I�m not dressed.�

�It doesn�t matter. I�ve already seen everything you have to offer anyway.�

She couldn�t keep the grin from her face as she said that.
Harry turned his beet red face to the mirror and put his glasses on.

�Right. So now you�ve totally humiliated me, what am I supposed to be looking at?�
�At you, you great loon. Look hard Harry.�
He looked himself over in the mirror and his hands shot round the front to hide the tenting in his pyjama�s.
�Not that. Higher.� She told him lifting his fringe out of the way.
He stared at his forehead.

�It�s gone.� He told her.
�I know it�s gone. That�s why your standing at the mirror gawping.�
�It�s gone.� He said again.�
�Aw no. Not again.�

�What? What not again?�
�Nothing Harry.� Nina was thinking of Severus when his Dark Mark was removed.
�Where�s it gone.� He wanted to no as he poked and prodded at the place where his scar had been.
�Well much as I thought it would be nice to put it in a jar and keep it in that potions study, I didn�t. It�s just gone Harry. It doesn�t exist anymore.�

Nina turned and headed for the door. �Oh and by the way.�
He turned from the mirror and looked at her. �What?�
�Your just Harry now. I thought you�d like to know.�
�You mean�?�
�Yeah. This morning at about four o�clock. You might want to get dressed and get some breakfast. Oh and by the way Harry. This stays between us. I don�t care what you tell the others, but my name stays out of it. See ya later.�

Before he could reply, Nina went to the hall to get her own breakfast.
