LEECH
Chapter 46
Rosmerta must have noticed Kathy’s discomfort. “Don’t worry about them dear, they’re used to being moved about, and they’ll be back this evening as usual.”
Rosmerta left to get the drinks and a menu, while Kathy took the opportunity to look around. A few sets of eyes suddenly lowered or averted their gaze when her own met theirs, but mostly everyone seemed to be going about their own business and she thought nothing of it.
At least until something wet, warm, and disgusting ran along the inside of both her ankles.
Her eyes widened and she let out a squeal, jumping from her seat.
Severus was immediately on his feet, wand drawn and standing in front of Kathy.
Then Madam Rosmerta reappeared with drinks and a very cross expression on her face.
“Egbert Stallin, get over here and remove this monstrosity of yours at once. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a dozen times. Do not bring that thing in my pub.”
One of the wizards that previously occupied the table came forward with a sheepish look on his face and whistled. “Come on Spink, we know where we’re not wanted boy.”
Kathy watched from behind Severus as a squat, pug faced dog trotted out from beneath their table. At least she thought it was a dog. Considering it had wings, a forked tail, and she noticed two tongues hanging from it’s mouth when it turned to look back at them.
After earnest apologies from Rosmerta, and a reluctant one from Egbert in reverence for the Dark wizard that glowered down at him, they settled back down and looked at the menu. Though Kathy’s heart was still beating double time in her chest.
“What was that thing Severus? It had two tongues, and it licked me. Urgh.”
“I have no idea what it is, that beast must be nearly as old as Stallin, I can remember seeing it trailing him when I was a student. Harmless though as far as I can tell.” Severus was quite amused by the incident and struggled to keep a straight face at her disgust. “Try the Butterbeer, I think you will enjoy it.”
Kathy was surprised at the taste. She’d expected a taste of real beer rather than the smooth, sweet, buttery flavour. “Oh it’s lovely, don’t you have real beer in the wizarding world then?”
“Keep your voice down, yes we do, I just thought you might like to try something different.”
She was pleased to find fish and chips on the menu and ordered that, while Severus opted for a lamb hotpot.
Kathy got to taste several different wizarding drinks beside butterbeer, but the cinnamon cider was her favourite and she had several of those. As a result she was quite unsteady on her feet by the time they left and needed Severus to keep her in a straight line as they walked.
“I think I’ve had a bit too much, but that cider really was nice, if potent.”
“Considering how many different drinks you mixed, it’s no wonder you’re in this state.” He chuckled.
“I’m only tipsy Severus, not blind stinking drunk. Anyway, thanks for today, I’ve had a great time. Well apart from that odd dog thing. Madam Rosmerta’s nice, I liked her, though she wears her dresses too low cut. People might get the wrong idea about her.”
Severus knew Rosmerta well, and she did not give the wrong impression, but he wasn’t about to mention that to Kathy.
Kathy became rather chatty when she had a few drinks inside her, and Severus only half listened amiably as she prattled on about how different some things were here, compared to what she was used to, whereas others were similar.
“All this magic, never ending hot water, even inside toilets, yet you don’t have gas or electric. I know electric won’t work at Hogwarts, but surely gas would. You have no shortage of food and I still haven’t got used to that. After all the rationing then the shortage of anything in the shops, and I never saw a real egg before I came here. We always had powdered eggs. And the clothes are so old fashioned. You dress like something from the dark ages, Albus wears robes. I have to wear robes. It’s like everything’s mixed up and crazy. Are you listening to me?”
“Of course I am, you don’t like the clothes.”
When she stopped and looked at him, clearly waiting for him to elaborate, he couldn’t. “And erm… the eggs are powdery?” ‘Hell, what else did she say?’ He wondered desperately.
“Typical bloke.” She muttered. “They never listen, then moan because we never tell them anything.”
“I am not a typical anything.” He complained, scowling when she didn’t agree with him.
They were only back in the dungeons for a short while when Albus arrived to hear about their outing. Since Kathy had fallen asleep on the sofa, Severus was left to relate the details.
“Ah the cinnamon cider. I have not had any of that for many years.”
“Yes, well Kathy imbibed a little too much, that’s why she’s currently passed out on the settee.” Severus told him.
“Were you noticed Severus?”
“We were indeed. I would not be surprised to get a summons sometime this evening.”
Albus nodded gravely. There was nothing he could say that would change anything. This was what they were working towards after all.
It was actually two weeks later before Severus received the summons.
“Ooerch!” Kathy exclaimed, dropping her cup and grabbing her arm when she felt the sudden burning pain.
They’d been to supper, and now sat in her rooms with Albus and Minerva drinking tea. She pulled the sleeve of her robe up to find there was nothing visible, but still her arm burned.
The others looked at her in surprise, then she noticed Severus eyeing her curiously.
“You feel it?”
“Too right I do. Does it always hurt this much? Hell.” She grimaced as the burning became more intense.
“I better go. My own arm is emitting a faint tingle, nothing more. You must have somehow taken something of the mark into yourself when you Leeched me. We can discuss it later. The sooner I go, the sooner your pain will abate.”
“We will be at Headquarters until shortly after midnight Severus.” Albus told him as the dark wizard left the room.
“What? No wait, you can’t go, what does he want to see you for?”
Albus laid a hand on her sleeve. “Let him go Kathy, the longer he delays, the stronger the summons will be, and the more likelihood he will be punished for it.
She stared heartbroken as Severus dashed to his rooms, then fled passed the office doorway and exited into the corridor.
He’d stuffed his robe and mask into a pocket, he would put them on once he was clear of the castle.
SS
“Welcome Severus. How are things at Hogwarts?”
“Quite interesting my Lord. Dumbledore has seen fit to install a young woman at Hogwarts, for research purposes I believe he said.”
“And this would be the same wench who accompanied you to the ball?”
“The very same. An acquaintance of Dumbledore’s contacted him, requesting he take the young lady into his care. As such I am required to chaperone her whenever, and wherever.”
“I see. A powerful witch, or mediocre?”
“Neither My Lord.”
“What? Don’t tell me the old fool has actually started taking in filthy muggles?”
“On the contrary, she is neither muggle, nor witch. That is the reason I am forced to keep her close to me, so that I might observe, and treat her unique condition.”
“What condition Severus? What is she if not witch or muggle?”
“She is a Leech my Lord.”
Quite a few gasps sounded at his proclamation, though Voldemort himself looked puzzled. “A Leech?”
“Leave us.” He shouted at the others. Only when they were gone did he turn back to Severus.
“So tell me, what is a Leech?”
Severus explained the nature of a Leech and the danger they presented to those of magical ability. Then Voldemort wanted more details of how she came to be in the wizarding world.
“I know only what I have told you my Lord, but I have learned that it is possible for her to Leech a victim to a certain point, then return their power with no ill effects. In fact once ones magic is returned, it is greatly enhanced for a period of time. My task is to find a way to control what she does and render her harmless.”
Voldemort sat forward in his seat, red eyes burning into Severus’ black ones for several minutes.
“It is quite an interesting aspect to her power. Can she be controlled? Do you have influence over her?”
“At the moment she is completely trusting of me, she believes I have a certain amount of affection for her, as such she affords me certain… favours. I have managed to train her to contain her powers when around my person, this in turn allows me to take advantage of those favours.” Severus allowed himself to smile as he imparted this tidbit to the Dark Lord, giving the impression that he was using her for his own lecherous amusement.
“So Dolahov tells me. And you say she can replace any magic she takes, and that it is enhanced for a time, that interests me greatly. Continue to gain her trust Severus, as well as taking more control of her. I think her talent will prove most useful to me at some point. Tell me, other than sampling her more obvious delights, have you allowed her to Leech you?”
“I have on one occasion my Lord. It was most… exhilarating.”
“How so?”
“The feeling that comes during the return is… orgasmic to say the least. A feeling that could easily become addictive. Only the fact that I despised the helplessness that occurs between being drained and having my magic returned, prevents me from attempting a second Leech.”
“I am pleased with the information you have given me Severus. For that I will allow you to return unscathed. Continue as you have been doing, I will expect to sample her ability at some time in the future. Do ensure she is ready the next time I call you.”
