I own nothing but this sordid little tale. All characters belong to J.K. Rowling. I am not making any money by writing it. I must be insane.

LEECH

Chapter 43

Kathy and Severus� talk with the Professor lasted well into the early hours of the morning. It was only Kathy�s ill disguised yawns that alerted them to the lateness of the hour.
�I am sorry, sleep is something I find unnecessary, as such I tend to forget that mortals still have that requirement. I believe we have all discovered a great deal this evening, and my original dissertation will require a complete review. I hope I have given you enough insight to help you understand what a rare and precious gift you have Mrs Ripley.�
Kathy was startled by his comment. The last words she would ever have applied to her ability were �rare and precious gift.� �Thank you Professor, though I think �rare and terrible curse� is more the term you are looking for.�

�Not at all, it is indeed a gift. Go get some sleep Mrs Ripley, and tomorrow when your mind is fresh you can consider what we all have learned tonight, then you will understand why I consider it a gift.�
Kathy was so tired she hardly notice the long trek back to the dungeons.

Severus had to actually remove her shoes when she flopped onto her bed and fell asleep. He kissed her head and retired to his own rooms, he had classes tomorrow and tired as he was, if he climbed in the bed with her now, it would be too much of a temptation to take her.
For several days after their initial coupling, Kathy had been distant and troubled. At first he�d assumed she was feeling guilty because of her husband, but when she refused to discuss it with him he lost patience. He sat her down, withdrew his wand and performed Legillimens on her before she could object.

What he saw surprised him, though it should not have done.
Kathy emotions were running high, she was convinced that now he�d had her, he would think of her as nothing but an easy lay, a trollop. She felt she�d given up her self respect because no decent woman would even consider making love with a man out of wedlock.
It took Severus the better part of two weeks to convince that the world did not see things that way any more. He especially did not. If anything, his respect for her was even greater than before, because he believed that until she came along, he was not destined to have a proper relationship with a good and decent woman.

He decided not to force his attentions on her for a while so she would have the opportunity to adjust to the idea of a hopefully sexual relationship with him.

Unfortunately her Leeching of Lupin occurred before he had a chance to attempt any further intimacy with her.
The day after their talk with Binns, Kathy sat and made notes, trying to recall everything in her life she could remember that pertained to Leeching. It made her feel better putting it all on paper, and reading through what she�d written helped her make more sense of things.

By the time Severus arrived in his office at the end of the days classes, she was feeling more confident about herself and her powers.
She explained to him what she�d been doing, he listened with half an ear as he tried to complete his marking of third, fifth, and sixth year essays.

They went to the hall for supper and it was only when they returned to her rooms and she asked him when would be the best time for him to try the experiment that he gave her his full attention.
�Pardon?�
�When are we going to try it? Not tonight obviously, you have classes tomorrow. I thought the weekend, what do you think? And we should let Albus know too, it might be best if he were there when we try this.�
Severus looked at her, puzzled as to what she was talking about. �Try what exactly?�

Kathy put her hands on her hips. �Severus! I don�t believe you. Have you not been listening to me at all? You agreed that I could try and Leech you, I want to know when.�
�I did no such thing. When did I ever agree to being Leeched?� He groused. He was not as confidant as he appeared however. Had he agreed to it? He couldn�t remember doing so, there again she�d been prattling on about something or other ever since class finished for the day. It had been a gruelling day and the essays he was forced to read were absolutely atrocious. As such he�d not really been paying attention to what she was telling him, until now. To top it all it had been weeks since he�d bedded Kathy and his libido was slowly gaining the upper hand over his rational cerebral functions.
�You can be a real pain in the arse sometimes Severus, you know that?�
His jaw almost struck his chest when she spun and flounced off to the kitchen and the sound of rattling cups assaulted his ears. �Pain in the arse?�
He charged after her and was about to enter the kitchen and confront her about what she called him, then he noticed the pile of parchments on the small table next to her chair. His curiosity piqued, he snatched them up and settled back to read.
When Kathy returned with the tea tray and noticed him reading her notes, she narrowed her eyes. He�d not even asked if he could look at them, then again, it might have the effect of taking notice of what she said in future. At least when he�d finished reading he�d understand what she wanted to try, and why. Why! Oh bugger, she�d included many of her thoughts as to why she believed him immune to her in those notes. Severus would likely run a mile when he discovered her feelings for him, he was supposed to reveal his own, if any, before she ever admitted how much she cared for him. It would seem suspicious if she snatched them away from him now, hell this was gonna be so embarrassing for her.

Her eyes were glued to the ever dwindling pile of parchment in his hand, as each one he read was placed neatly upside down on the table at his side.

She noted his expression, unchanging until he was about two thirds of the way through, then a slight tic seemed to appear in one cheek as his eyes flickered back and forth across the same page several times.
Kathy felt her face burning with shame and closed her eyes for fear he looked up and met them.
It took only a few paragraphs for Severus to become engrossed in her suppositions. She�d detailed every event of accidental Leeching for as far back as she could remember, putting down only the bare facts and not including her emotional state when it occurred. At least until their talk with Binns. Then there were detailed notes about the experiments they�d practiced since her arrival, how they had affected her and the final outcome of each one. Something that interested her keenly was the possibility of being able to heal someone by Leeching, though as yet she didn�t know how to accomplish that. She went on to compile a dissertation of their discussion with Professor Binns and what she hoped the outcome of testing on Severus would achieve. When he discovered that she believed it was her own growing affection for him, Severus, that protected him he re-read the page several times, not even noticing she was in the room with him.

Kathy had written that she wanted to know what effect her Leeching would have on him if she performed it on a regular basis as her feelings for him grew stronger. And did stronger emotions, even love, have an effect on the outcome of the Leeching? She�d even professed a curiosity about what would happen if he was Leeched during intercourse. Severus didn�t know whether that idea excited or terrified him.
When he came to the last page, Kathy noticed the pot of cold tea, still untouched on the coffee table and took it to the kitchen to make a fresh pot.

Severus had been so engrossed in her work, and she in watching him, that the tea was totally forgotten.
