(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
Sebastian wiped away a few tears, "Let's go and find out."
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus slowly began to wake up when he heard a door click close. Even in his dazed state, he knew something was very different. He stayed still with his eyes closed hoping to not attract attention as he remembered what happened. When he did recall what he could, he focused on listening to anything that will help locate his parents so he could avoid them, but as he tried focus he realized he wasn't in his drafty creaky house. Severus opened his eyes and sat up to look around and there was James perched on the edge of the bed …
"Errrr … hi." James said with a grin, foolishly thinking nothing would happen …
XXXXXXXXXX
Euphemia looked up as two men flooed into their living room, "Severus' family I take it." She concluded, seeing their grouch of an owl named Oscar perched on the tallest man's shoulder.
"Yes, I'm Sebastian Prince and this is my husband Nicholas Prince. I don't mean to be rude we'd like to see our grandson first. I need to know he's safe." The Prince lord said, not bothering to hide the concern and anxiety he felt for his grandchild.
Mathias came down the stairs and smiled, "I'm Mathias Troden, I'll show you to his room. I just checked him a moment ago and he's doing well, but not awake yet … you don't know me, but I know your daughter-"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Came a scream from the room Severus was in and it was followed by a loud blast that everyone, we encountered Oscar, race up to see what was going on.
"Oh my." Fleamont said amusedly as he saw his son rolled up in a charmed mattress that was rolling around on the ceiling. An impressive feet for anyone, even more so for a boy who had no wand and was recently injured.
"Ummm … he actually lives here." Euphemia giggled, not worried about her son who didn't seem to be in danger or it at least didn't seem like Severus intended to hurt him despite being clearly unsettled. In fact, she noticed that Severus seemed oddly fearful of James after letting the mattress drop to the ground. She got the feeling there was more to what James did to Severus than what her son told her.
Severus stayed a certain distance away from James, who rolled out of the mattress once it hit the floor and was trying to get up despite the dizziness, "Where am I and why am I here?" He asked taking note of the two older wizards who were staring at him with a look that made him think they were about to cry.
Fleamont gestured to Mathias, "We'll let him explain and introduce ourselves after you had a moment to talk." He said as he dragged his dizzy son out of the room with his wife leaving the four people alone. "James, were you telling us everything?"
"Huh?" James muttered looking confused.
"Well it seemed like Severus …" Fleamont paused to think about how to phrase his thoughts, "you implied there was only a small disagreement where you said something stupid, which is why you went to apologize in the first place, but Severus acted like there was more to it than that. He was so mad he was using wandless magic! What's actually going on between you two?"
James flinched, "I ummm."
"James Potter! Answer your father." Euphemia ordered sternly.
"Right." James sighed in defeat and swallowed the bitter taste of guilt before looking at his parents. "I picked on him for a long time. Since the first time we met in our first year. I hexed him, called him names, pulled pranks on him everyday and … I was an ass. Sirius helped and Peter too, but it was me mostly." James confessed.
Euphemia looked stunned, "Why? What could Severus have done to make you do anything like that and think it was alright?"
"He said something that made me mad … " James took a second to try to remember what that was, "Oh right, he said, 'mainly idiots were in Gryffindor'." James said thinking his parents might understand just a little, but to his surprise he was met blank stares. "What?"
Fleamont sighed with a mix of exasperation and amusement as his just started laughing, "James … I never heard the Gryffindors described as clever or smart. They really only had bravery and before you argue think about the several creative ways the Sorting hat has described each house every year."
The young wizard tilted his head in thought and flushed as he realized the songs were always different, but said the same thing. Slytherins were cunning, Ravenclaws were smart, Hufflepuffs were loyal and Gryffindors were always just brave mixed in with the occasional comment about not thinking before acting. He had more reasons to be angry with the Sorting Hat than Severus!
"I just wanted Lily's attention." James mumbled out loud before he could stop himself.
Euphemia saw her son clap his hands over his mouth in a panic, "Who's Lily?"
James tried to stay quiet, but the stern glares made it clear he wasn't getting out of this, "She's … Lily is a friend at school … a Gryffindor and friend of Severus' .. I kind of like her, but I didn't get many chances to be around her with Severus there." He admitted shyly.
"Ok … why did Severus become the target though?" Fleamont asked only sigh when he got a puzzled look from his son, "If you like Lily why hurt her friend? It sounds like you spent all your time picking on Severus instead of spending time with Lily, but you just said Lily was in your house … why didn't you have any time then? Severus can't stop you if you're in different houses, but you still spent a good deal of time with Severus …" Fleamont said, trying hint something that his son just wasn't getting.
Lady Potter chuckled as her clueless son missed the hint that maybe he was a bit confused on who he really liked, "No matter. We'll discuss this another time. What I want to know is if you're going to stop this bad behavior! Just because you were lucky you weren't caught doesn't mean you should still-"
"We were caught ...a few times each year …" James said and shivered in fear at the strange, almost deadly aura his parents suddenly began emanating.
"By who? Professor McGonagall would have reported this to us immediately, but we got nothing except your letters." Euphemia explained feeling furious at the thought that there were things being covered up at Hogwarts especially where son is concerned.
James gulped, "Professor Dumbledore was always the one-"
"That makes sense." Fleamont muttered bitterly getting a comforting touch to the shoulder from his wife.
"What do you mean?" James asked wondering why his father seemed almost annoyed with the Headmaster, who seemed so nice.
"Dumbledore has been known to play favorites in every case where a Gryffindor is involved." Fleamont explained.
James rolled his eyes thinking it was a joke, "The Headmaster-" his words were abruptly cut off when the sound of the door upstairs being forcefully thrown open was heard …
XXXXXXXXXX
"What's this about?" Severus demanded, not wanting to just sit down and relax around people he didn't trust.
Mathias sat in one of the guest room chairs and smiled softly, "I've been a healer for a long time. I normally insist on full disclosure, but there was a woman, about 16 years ago, who came to me begging me to help her because she thought she was pregnant and she refused to tell me her family name or anything else. I tried to tell her that she was protected by my vow as a healer and I needed to know her medical records, but still she refused saying that she was underage and she couldn't risk her family learning of any of this especially since the father was a muggle … knowing the danger she could be in if her family had a hatred of muggles I went against my better judgement and helped her hide the pregnancy. By the time she was ready to deliver, I managed to get her everything she'd need for after the delivery. I realized she wasn't as truthful as I thought when, after the delivery, I never saw her again despite agreeing to meet up and confront her parents. The small house I gave her was sold and she vanished. That baby I delivered was you."
"How do you know? You said you didn't know who the woman was." Severus said suspicion lacing his tone. He noticed the two older man also seemed to become cautious.
"Your birthmark for one." Mathias said bluntly, getting a blush from Severus before looking at the two older wizards, who now seemed more convinced that this wasn't a trick. No doubt they were aware of said birthmark, "and as for how I knew to contact you two … I apologize, Severus, but James told me that he thought your parents were involved in your condition so, considering the circumstances that brought you here, I ran a blood scan to find any other relatives." He explained, gesturing to the other men.
"Relatives?" Severus exclaimed, very confused and looked at the two wizards.
The taller man stood, "I'm Sebastian, Lord of the Prince family, and this is my husband, Nicholas Prince. We're your grandfathers."
Nicholas was nearly crying again, realizing this was all true, "We've been trying to find you and Ellen for so long-"
Severus backed away as Nicholas tried to hold him, "You disowned my mother."
Sebastian raised a concerned eyebrow, "Disowned? Even I can't disown anyone in my family unless there's an attempt to cause harm on another family member … what exactly were you told?"
"Mother told me her parents died after they disowned her when she became pregnant with a muggle's baby and threw us out." Severus said not sure how to take the confusion on the men's faces. This is what he's been told since he could remember … and it's what he always felt blamed for. If this wasn't the truth then he has been living and suffering for a lie.
"That's not true!" Nicholas exclaimed absolutely shocked that Ellen would say that, "We adored you when our Ellen showed you to us, but there were some … reasons why she had you …" Nicholas looked nervous and so heartbroken that Severus knew it was something bad.
"Tell me." Severus said, softer than normal as the feeling of hope swelled up in his chest.
Nicholas smiled sadly, but did as his grandson wanted, "your mother was only 16 when she suddenly came home in the middle of the school year and revealed you to us. I admit we were mad at first. After all, she was young and she should not have hid something like that, but we were even more furious when she demanded her inheritance."
Severus' eyes narrowed, "Inheritance?"
Sebastian sighed, "I'm afraid that's true. In our family, it's tradition to start training the heir and give them access to their own accounts when they turn 17 or, as your mother tried to do, have a child. Ellen tried to get her accounts early, but there was a clause she missed. The baby had to be born in wedlock, which you weren't … in that case the heir is considered too reckless to be a leader and the title of the heir is stripped away and given to the newborn … a day after I took her inheritance and gave it to you, she took you and vanished. We haven't be able to find any trace of you and believe me we tried."
Mathias saw Severus trying to absorb what he was told and decided to say what was truly bothering him before the young wizard tried to find flaws in his grandparents story, "I can tell you're not believing it completely, correct?" He said surprising Severus who was, in fact, finding it hard to believe his mother could hide for long with the Lord of her family after her, "it's understandable, but I think that's my fault. I truly believed that your mother was in danger and I helped by giving her potions and other things to keep her hidden from, what she claimed, was a potentially dangerous family. The entire Ministry could've been looking and not found her." He said, filled with guilt over the situation he was ultimately responsible for.
"I hate that this happened, but I can't blame you Mathias. If it was truly a dire situation, I would've assisted myself." Nicholas said clearly forgiving the healer who only wished to protect his patient. It was Ellen who took advantage of that kindness and, despite how much he loved his daughter, he knew she was the one at fault.
"But … I go to Hogwarts … how could no one know?" Severus asked, wanting to pick at any discrepancy that might prove this false before he tries hoping for a real loving family.
Both older wizards' eyes narrowed and they glanced at each other quietly before Sebastian walked up to Severus, "That is a very good question … many people knew of our search for you so you shouldn't have just gone unnoticed for long especially if you were ever sent to the infirmary. That's another thing I can look into, but first I simply can't let you go home after hearing what has been going on. We'd like for you to come and stay at the Prince manor. Tell me where you live and I'll deal with your mother and father." Sebastian felt his anger spike when Severus flinched at the word 'father'. It was clear who hurt Severus. He will pay special attention to the muggle …
"I live in Spinner's End … it's in muggle world …" Severus said in a daze. This was going to take awhile to truly sink in, but he felt a comforting hand from Nicholas rest on his shoulder and he started hoping it was all real.
"I'll be back then- Severus!" Sebastian gasped as the boy collapsed into Nicholas' arms.
Mathias rushed forward to check the young wizard, "It's alright, he's just exhausted."
"It's no surprise. A lot has happened." Sebastian said, kissing his lover who was eager to get the boy to their home after so long and already adjusting histrionics- to carry the boy, but that act ruffled Severus' clothes. The slight glimpse of the scars on Severus' back made Sebastian's blood boil and he unintentionally slammed the door harder than necessary as he left, "I apologize… we'd like to speak another time, but first, Severus needs rest and I need to get his things. Thank you .." he trailed off as he realized he didn't get the names of the three people there.
Fleamont chuckled, "It's quite alright. I understand a great deal has happened. We're just happy we could help. I'm Fleamont Potter and this is my wife, Euphemia, and my son, James, who found Severus. Please keep in touch, especially if you need anything."
Sebastian smiled gratefully, "Thank you." He said taking note of the worry in James' eyes as Nicholas carried Severus to the floo. It was interesting,but something for another time. "Actually can James give me a description of the place Severus lived? That will help a great deal."
XXXXXXXXXX
Ellen scoffed at the sight of the blood on the floor, but no Severus was in sight. She was just about to send her husband after the boy when she heard footsteps behind her. As she turned she sneered … there, after many years, stood her father ...
