Chapter 46 I’m sorry
“Merlin, that is amazing.” Severus told her.
“So long as it stops him getting at you. I’ll go get us a cup of tea, you sit down and get your breath back.”
He didn’t argue as he watched his wife retreat to the kitchen. It astounded him the way she seemed to take so many things in her stride. He knew if she had a normal childhood, she would hold the same fear of Voldemort as every other witch and wizard. As it was, she feared him, but not in the way others did. Sky just feared him as she would fear any bad person, otherwise she would have shown a lot more respect when they met him today. Severus hated holding her down in the dirt, he hated when he had to slap her over the head to make her appear subservient, not that it worked. She’d complained quite loudly at his treatment of her and did not do as he instructed. He wondered if he would have done the Dark Lords bidding, and ravaged his wife had she not activated that protective fire charm. He wanted to think not, especially if it meant the Dark Lord having a go at her straight after.
Instead of sitting down he followed her to the kitchen and sat down at the table.
“Do you have anything in particular in mind to remove the mark, or is it just wishful thinking Sky?”
“I have a few ideas, nothing concrete yet, but it’s gonna mean a lot of Dark Magic, probably blood magic too. Can you remember what he did when he gave it to you?”
“Only in part, it is a very painful ritual. None have managed to stay conscious through the whole process.”
“Can I have a look later, I’ll be able to see what he did while you were …not noticing. It’ll help me.”
Severus could not keep the smirk from his face. “You have a unique tact ness about you Sky. I like that.”
“A what?”
“While I was not noticing? I was bloody well passed out, but I much prefer your version of events.”
“Yeah well, your touchy sometimes so I have to watch what I say.” She put the tea tray on the table.
“I am not touchy.”
“Yes you are, you know you are.”
He grabbed her arm before she could sit down and he pulled her onto his lap, his hands began to travel all over her quickly. “Touchy am I? I’ll give you touchy.”
“Ahh stop it.” She screamed. She didn’t like what he was doing to her, but it was making her laugh and she didn’t know why. “What …ha ha are you doing? I don’t …ha ha like it …ha ha.”
Severus could not stop himself from laughing along with her as his fingers found more and more places to tickle.
Even when they both slid of the chair and onto the floor, he kept on until she had tears streaming down her face. He let up then and pulled her to him.
“Are you going to stop calling me touchy?”
“Yes, just don’t do that again it was awful. What was it? I didn’t even like it, so why did it make me laugh?”
“That wife, is called tickling. It is a form of torture and if you displease me again, I shall use it on you without mercy.”
He pulled them both to their feet so they could sit and drink their tea.
Sky kept sniffing and wiping her eyes and it made him chuckle.
“So, you will behave in future?”
“I suppose so.”
He raised an eyebrow at her. “You suppose so?”
“Alright I will. Lets drink our tea, I want to go for a bath.”
“Why do you never take showers?”
“If I remember rightly, the first and only one I ever had, was when you tried to drown me, and then you made me eat the soap.”
“I did not try to drown you, I was trying to get you clean. As for the soap, I was stunned when you tried to eat it, how was I to know you would try to eat it. Though the look on your face when you did almost made it worth seeing. Really though, showers are much quicker and cleaner.”
“I’ll think about it, not today though. I want a good long soak while I think about your arm. We don’t want to be stuck in here all the time, I want another flying lesson of Freya.”
“You are not flying while you are pregnant.”
“Freya did. She said she flew through all three of hers, so why can’t I?”
“Because you are not Freya, you are my wife and you are carrying my child. You might fall of.”
“I wont. I’m going for a bath, I don’t want to talk about it now.”
Sky stomped off in a huff as Severus watched her go, shocked that she’d spoken to him like that, especially when he’d already threatened her with tickling. He decided she had a very short memory when it came to making promises.
He followed her to the bathroom but decided on a shower. She needed to relax after the events of the day and she would not get any thinking done if he joined her in the bath.
Three days later Sky emerged through her workroom door, Sal appeared in his frame and both looked absolutely exhausted.
“I have dinner prepared.” Severus to her. “You look terrible, come and eat, then I shall run you a bath.”
She looked at him and a slow smile started to spread over her face. “Eat yes, bath later.”
“No, you are tired. No more work tonight.”
“No more work Severus, no need. I think we’ve cracked it.”
“Cracked it? You mean something is broken?”
“No Severus, she means we may have found a way to stop that mark on your arm from activating. It will be painful and won’t remove it, but when Sky uses her own disillusionment charm over it you will think it’s gone.”
Severus stared at them both. “And you’re sure it will work?”
“Not a hundred percent, but pretty close to it. It’s up to you though, like Sal said, it’s gonna hurt.”
“I do not care if it hurts, it will be worth it to be rid of this curse, but I would still prefer to wait until morning when you are both rested. I refuse to allow you to try before then, you both need some sleep.”
“But Severus, it could be gone by morning if we do it tonight.”
“I said no wife, and I meant it.”
“He’s right Sky.” Sal told her. “We are both past our best right now and need to recuperate. We shall work better tomorrow after some rest.”
“Huh. I don’t have much choice then do I? I can’t do it on my own.”
Severus brought her a plate of roast chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli and roast parsnips.
It was gone in minutes and he smiled when he went to run her bath.
While Sky was in the tub Sal told Severus. “You know she did most of this herself, I was just the sounding board. She really is brilliant Severus. I’ve never known anyone who could adapt potions, spells and charms at the drop of a hat the way she does. She seems to get an idea into her head and bang, she does it, it’s truly amazing what she comes up with. What did you think to her Wolfsbane?”
“If it works as she expects Salazar, I may as well throw my own recipe to the hippogriffs, she has already made my skele-grow potion obsolete, along with several other potions, and she has developed this spell with drawings that …well it’s different.”
“Really? What is it?”
“I am not at liberty to say, it is of a more personal nature. But I will tell you this much, blue pensives are a thing of the past in my book.”
Sal laughed but didn’t probe any further. He was tired, so after bidding Severus goodnight he faded out.
When Severus walked through to the bathroom he was just in time to prevent Sky from slipping under the water, she’d fallen asleep. Most likely the water going up her nose would have woken her, but he was still glad he was able to prevent it from happening. Sky worked hard over the last three days, and she’d done it for him.
“Come on. Let me help you out.”
He lifted her from the bath and dried her with a wandless spell, then carried her onto the bedroom and put her in the bed. She was asleep before her head touched the pillow and Severus did not intend to disturb her.
After breakfast the following morning it was time to head down to the workroom.
The first thing Severus noticed was a bed in the centre of the room. It was set at working height so Sky would not have to bend. At one side of the bed there was an extended pole with a small harness hanging from it.
“Surely you do not expect me to allow you to fasten me into that thing.”
“I need easy access to your arm Severus and I don’t want to go chasing it when you try and pull away. You’ll be asleep but your body will still react to what I’m doing to it.”
“What do you mean I’ll be asleep, I want to see what you are going to do to me.”
“No you don’t. Please Severus, you have to trust me, it’s gonna be painful enough. I wont be able to do it if I see you in pain, just get on the bed and drink this.”
“What is it?” He asked as he sat on the bed.
“Oh and take off your shirt, it’s a sleeping potion.”
“It is more then that, why are you not looking me in the eye?”
“No well it’s got something more in, but you don’t have to worry about it, just drink it.” She told him as he finished removing his shirt.
“So tell me what it is.”
“It’s my own sleeping potion, it’s also got a strong long term painless potion added to it as well as an anti scarring charm and healing potions and charms.”
“And?”
“It has a paralysing additive, so you don’t struggle too much. I’m sorry Severus, but I need you to keep still while I do this. Very still.”
“And how long will each of these individual potions and the charms last?”
The sleeping potion will last a couple of hours, I‘ll need to keep topping it up. The painless for as long as you need it. Once your pain free it’ll wear off on it’s own but I can also add more if you need it. The anti scarring I’m not sure about. I might need to top it up a couple of times till your healed. Same with the healing potion and charms.”
“I see, and the last one?”
“Ah, well I’m not absolutely sure about that one. It could be a day or two, or … erm …it might be a couple of weeks but it will wear off I promise, I ‘m just not certain how long it’ll take …I’m sorry okay.”
“Well I am so glad you made everything so clear.” he told her in a wry voice. “I do trust you Sky.” To prove it, he drank the potion straight down. “Mmm. You know that tastes quite …”
Sky just managed to stop him falling sideways off the bed as he lapsed into unconsciousness. “You’re a heavy lump.” She muttered as she clumsily laid him down.
Moving to his other side she fastened his arm into the harness and fastened another round his hips to stop him rolling from the bed.
She waved her wand over the length of him and muted colours drifted just above him, letting her know that he was okay.
Then she snapped her fingers to dress herself in a pair of loose jeans and a t shirt. She was at least gonna be comfortable while she worked, Sky didn’t like dresses much.
Laying a thick towel over his torso and under his arm she placed her wand at the top edge of the mark.
‘Paro. Paro. Paro. Paro.’
I prepare
Sky repeated this constantly, like a mantra as she used her wand to trace the outline of his mark. She continued to repeated it as she traced through the design, making sure she didn’t miss anything as she went.
The she started to press the wands tip hard against the mark. Not enough to pierce the skin at his stage, but enough that it would bruise badly.
‘Deleo. Relinquere. Relevare. Deleo. Relinquere. Relevare’
I destroy. Relinquish. Relieve.
For almost three hours Sky repeated her mantra and kept pressing into his mark, working methodically so she touched every part of it.
His arm was bleeding profusely and she grabbed another towel and pressed it against the wound as she aimed her wand and sent out the same soft blue light she used when he was suffering from the cruciatus. The bleeding stopped and she removed the towel.
Now she pushed her wand into the centre of the open wound. It squelched and made her want to throw up, but she took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment as she fought against the nausea.
‘Ultra vires supero’
Beyond power I overcome
As before, she repeated the words over and over as she held her wand inside the mark for and hour and a half.
All through this Sky kept her eye on the colouring that hovered over Severus, making sure there were no drastic changes as she worked.
His body twitched and his face contorted in pain with each new enchantment she uttered, each action she performed.
His legs remained still and his left arm was held tight in the restraint, but she could see his muscles straining as he fought unconsciously against it.
Sky’s throat was dry and hoarse with the constant chanting. Every muscle in her body ached and begged for rest.
‘Celo semper’
I hide always
A quick flourish of her wand, his forearm was heavily bandaged, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After carefully lifting his head and tipping another strong pain relief potion into his mouth she rested his head back on the pillow and sat down on the floor exhausted.
Sky had a couple of hours before she needed to start on the mark again and she planned on getting a drink and something to eat, but the effort of getting up was too much and she fell asleep were she was.
An hour and three quarters later she was woken by Effy, who had conjured a low bed and placed Sky onto it when Sal summoned her.
“I is got you tea and a sandwich miss, you is not good going without food. You has to eat.”
She yawned and sat up groggily. “Thanks Effy. Did you put me on here?”
“I did miss. You was sleeping sitting on the floor. Is not good you is doing that.”
“Well thanks for that too, I didn’t mean to fall asleep.”
Effy knows that miss, but Salazar Slytherin is calling Effy to come see to you, so here I is.”
Sky drank the milk and ate her sandwich. She’d not realised how hungry she was. “Mmm. Liver and pickled pineapple, it’s lovely Effy.”
“If you says so miss.” The little elf scrunched up her nose, making Sky laugh.
Feeling much better after sleeping and eating, Sky checked on Severus. He was still unconscious, but his face was a mask of pain.
She gave him some more of the pain potion and removed the dressing to look at his arm. She ran her wand over the centre of the open wound and re-dressed it.
“I’m sorry Severus but I have to do something you won’t like.” Kissing him tenderly on the lips, Sky turned, picked up an empty phial from the counter and headed up the steps and back into the living room.
“Keep an eye on him for me Sal, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
“You be careful, do you have the necklace?”
“Yeah.” She pulled her collar aside so Sal could see the serpent charm she received for her eighteenth birthday. She touched it and it disappeared from view.
Without another word, Sky turned and opened the door again.
This time it did not open into the potions lab where Severus lay.
“Hello father.”
Voldemort visibly jumped at the sound of Sky’s voice from behind his throne.
“How did you get in here?”
“I came back to see you. I’m hoping we can try again., you are my father after all. I …I want a chance to get to know you, properly. I don’t want us to fight, but I don’t want you to hurt me either. Please give us a chance.”
“Where is your blood traitor of a husband?”
“I’ve left him at home unconscious, he doesn’t know I’m here. It’s just you and me.”
Voldemort wanted to kill her as soon as he saw her, but she was here alone and she wanted him to play daddy. Maybe he could bring her over to his side after all.
“Very well, come sit by me and tell me what you want.”
Sky moved closer and sat on the floor near his feet.
“I want a father, a real father that cares about what happens to me, not one that wants me dead. Is that so bad? You took everything from me when I didn’t even know you. You left me at that place to die. I was starved and beaten, I cried and no one came. I missed my mum, I had no one. When I found out about you I thought we …I hoped we …could be a family.”
“And you thought I would play daddy and welcome you? You are a fool.”
“Am I? Albus said you grew up without your parents, that your mum died when you were born and you never knew your dad, but you had a chance to know me and you threw it away. Things could have been so much different, our lives could have been different.”
“Come with me.” he told her.
“Sky stood and followed him through another door into a large comfortable room. It had a sofa and two chairs near a large blazing fire. A table, bookcases full of books and a large canopied bed.
He led her to the chairs and they sat down. “If you want me to play daddy for you girl, then you will need to learn to obey me. So far you have been nothing but an irritant. Do you wish to remain so, or are you going to behave as a daughter should? Obedience. That is what a daughter should show her father. Obedience at all times.”
Sky kept her eyes to the floor submissively. She wanted to make him think she was desperate for his love, and she was, but Sky knew deep in her heart that she would never get it from this man.
“I’ll try my best.”
“You do realise you will have to be punished. You have been a very naughty girl and I cannot overlook that. Are you willing to accept my punishment, in return for my care and protection?”
