LEECH

Chapter 47

Kathy was frantic. First Albus wouldn�t stop Severus from going to God knows where, then he stops her from stopping him. To cap it all she was forced to go to the house of a thousand shadows. Her personal name for �12. It made her think of a programme she used to listen to on the wireless called �The Man in Black�.
This time many were gathered in a large sitting room, and after helping Molly prepare the food, she made her way to the other room out of curiosity.
She studied a large tapestry on one wall, recognising the Malfoy name, then noticing the name Black, at the top. �This is your family tree?� She asked Sirius, forgetting her dislike of the man for a moment.
�It is.�

�So where�s your name? I can�t see it anywhere.�

Sirius pointed at a hole burnt into the tapestry. �That was me.�

�What did you burn it for?�

He sighed and sat back down before explaining the reason for his name being burnt from the tapestry, along with Andromeda, Tonks� mother, his Uncle Alphard who gave him money to help him survive, and Cadrella, who married a Weasley. �Anyone who did not wholeheartedly support the pureblood traditions, or married non pureblood sympathisers were obliterated from the family tree.
�That�s terrible. Oh. You�re related to� � Kathy noticed Dolahov�s name on the tree, as well as a couple of others she vaguely remembered hearing during her capture.
�Most purebloods are related somewhere along the line, it doesn�t mean we all have the same fanatical, outlook on life. My own mother blasted my name from this tree when I was sixteen. I hated the staunch support she gave to He- Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and rebelled against them. I ran away and lived with a friend. This was the result.�
Lost in his story, Kathy started to see a new side to Sirius Black. By the time Severus returned, she�d heard most of the details of what happened with James and Lily Potter. Remus as also their and admitted that as the Marauders, they had been extremely unkind to Severus, making his school life a living hell.

Only once did Sirius attempt to deny that the Marauders were at fault, the warning gleam in Kathy�s eyes enough to make him bite his tongue.
Severus was angry beyond belief when he glanced into the living room and saw Kathy sat between Black and Lupin, cosy and chatting as though they were old friends. No one had noticed him, so instead of announcing his arrival he stalked directly to the kitchen, made his report to Albus, then stalked out again, apparating directly to Hogwarts and heading to his rooms.

He flung his cloak across the living room, grabbed a bottle of firewhiskey and proceeded to get blind, stinking drunk.
Albus was rather surprised when he discovered Severus was not with Kathy. But not as surprised as Kathy herself. She was disappointed, angry, and upset that he�d not told her he was back. �He didn�t even say hello. Where is he now?�

�Most likely he is back in his dungeons.� Remus told her. If he noticed you talking with Sirius and me, which he most likely did, he will not have been too pleased.�

Kathy paled. Had he seen them and got the wrong impression? He must have done. But why didn�t he just say hello to her? She could have explained things, told him she was only talking to Remus and Sirius. Was he in a huff because of it, or was he� �Albus was he hurt? Did that man do something to him?� She asked worriedly.
�Not at all, he was fine on this occasion.�
�I want to go back to Hogwarts. I want to know if he�s there.�
Albus nodded. �I was about to suggest that anyway.�
When she entered the dim hall with Albus, Molly was waiting for her and drew her to one side.

�Kathy, don�t be angry with Severus for reacting as he did. His younger days at the hands of Sirius, James and the others was more traumatic than any of them have let on. He trusts you Kathy, and more, if he saw you chatting with the two men he considers his greatest adversaries he most likely feels betrayed. No one has ever gained the amount of trust and affection from him that you have, nor has he been given it until you.

Handle him carefully dear, but don�t allow him to tread you down either. You have done nothing wrong.�
After what Molly said, Kathy was a bundle of nerves when she left Albus in the Main Hall and made her way down the dungeon steps.

She�d declined his offer to accompany her to her rooms, now she wished she hadn�t. A bit of moral support would have come in handy right now and she didn�t even know if Severus was down here, or even if she would be able to get inside.

Luckily, Severus was in such a foul mood on his return he didn�t even think to lock the door behind him. His head was too full of Kathy sitting between Black and Lupin.
Kathy was relieved to find the door unlocked and entered the office, closing it behind her. She slipped into her own rooms and removed her cloak and shoes, then walked back through the office and Severus� study.

�Severus, are you there?� She didn�t shout, if he was in bed asleep she didn�t want to wake him.

She stuck her head round his sitting room door and saw him glaring at her from his seat by the fire.
�Waddya wan Kathy? New friends not good nuff anymore?� He asked, his speech slurred from the amount of whiskey he�d consumed. �Come to Leech ole Snivellus till you can meet �em again? Bet they tol you all bout our wunerfull schooldays. Tell you what good buddies we were did they? Yeah, I�ll bet. So where are they now, your newww friends?�

He gave a loud belch and Kathy looked at him disgusted.
�I�ll talk to you tomorrow Severus. I just wanted to know if you were okay. Obviously you are. Goodnight.� She turned to leave the room and froze when he spoke again.
�What, no kiss night night? Or did your new fuck buddies give you all the satfitn� saaartisfacshun you needed?�
Without turning to face him, Kathy took a deep breath, then left the room, closing the door gently behind her.
�To the new Marauder.� Severus saluted the empty space where Kathy had been, took a hefty swig from the bottle, belched again, then promptly passed out. The bottle fell from his hand and rolled across the floor, spilling most of the remaining contents onto the carpet.
Kathy returned to her rooms, changed into her nightdress and climbed into bed. She was stunned at what Severus had accused her of. Just because he was drunk it did not give him the right to accuse her of� well. His words were designed to wound, and wound they did. Was that how he saw her, as a �fuck buddy� did he call it? She cried softly to herself, her breath hitching even as she fell asleep several hours later.
