LEECH

Chapter 58

�I have to admit, I did not expect you to come crawling back so soon.�

�I needed to secure the woman my Lord. She is a danger to everyone at the moment, and will quite possibly remain so for a number of weeks.�
�You know the penalty for betrayal do you not Severus.�

�I do my Lord, but it was never my intention to put you in danger. I had no idea she would become so unstable when her emotions took over. Nor of her past with you. Had I not taken her when I did, we would all be dead now.�

Severus and Voldemort spoke in private. The Dark Lord did not want anyone to know his powers had been Leeched and he was magically weak. He had retained a little of his magic, enough that he would recuperate over the following weeks and months. But he trusted no one and believed if his Death Eaters knew of his condition they would rise against him.

�For now I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I believe you were genuine when you brought her here, and you proved it by handling her yourself. You also had no way of knowing of my past with the woman, that is down to Dolohov and something I will deal with in my own time. However, regarding the woman you profess to care so much about, this is something you did not reveal to me Severus.�

�No my Lord. I confess to being afraid to let you know. I did not intend to become attached to her, and because of her background I feared you would do something to take her from me as you did with Lily. I have served you faithfully since the day you gave me the mark, not once have I strayed from the path you set for me. Even when I thought you dead after that debacle with the Potters, I stayed at my post, gathered information for you. I have bore each and every curse and beating you have thrown at me without protest, yet still you doubt me.�

That is true, you have served me well Severus, but understand that there are always those that seek to follow in my footsteps, who would stab me in the back if it would further their own ends. I have cause to be mistrustful.�

�I quite agree with you my Lord, but not from me. I have no desire to rule, I am not worthy to do so. I prefer to follow your ideals, to serve you.�

Kathy woke to a feeling of hatred. It consumed her, she wanted to hurt someone, anyone. She was all powerful, all must bend to her wishes. She was better than them, superior, the blood running through her veins was as liquid gold compared to the minions that subsisted around her. Yet she was stuck here in these dungeon rooms when she should be ruling the world.

�Nonononono.� Kathy screamed the words into the room. That wasn�t what she wanted. She wanted to be normal. She didn�t want to hate, to hurt, to rule anyone.
Yet these feelings, these emotions were so strong, so overriding of everything she�d ever know, ever experienced.
For hours she warred with herself, at once wanting to harm and soothe, kill and give life, hate yet love. She felt as if she was going insane with the conflicting thoughts and desired that filled her head and heart.

------------

Because Severus was the only one to know everything about Kathy, the Leeching, and the weak state of the Dark Lord, he was made to remain at Voldemort�s side. If the despot felt in the slightest bit threatened, angry, or mistrustful of one of the minions, Severus would cast the Crucio. If a Death Eater was considered traitorous for any reason, Severus would be the one to cast Avada Kedavra. The only time Severus slept, was to sneak small naps when his master slept. He was existing on Pepper-Up and stamina potions, but after five days of this he needed some proper sleep, and soon.
�My Lord please. I need to sleep. I also need to check on Kathy�s condition. Could not Wormtail be your companion for a while. I fear I am not giving all of me to your service in this state. It would be to your advantage to have someone other than me who would willingly do whatever you ask. Wormtail, as much as I personally despise him, is faithful to you my Lord. And you are stronger now than you were a few days ago, already you magic is the process of replenishing.�
Voldemort studied his current right hand man. It was true, the wizard was pale and drawn, dark circles around sunken eyes, his whole appearance haggard. �Very well, you may tell him to serve me. Though if he displeases me Severus, you will return at once. In the meantime I want you to convince that little woman of yours to return my magic. And make sure she is in your control this time.�
�I will my Lord. Thank you.�
Severus trudged from the room, across the hall and out into the grounds. His feet dragged with every step he took and he wondered if he had the energy left to apparate. It wasn�t his magic that was exhausted, but his mind and body. If his mind was exhausted, he was liable to splinch. The only reason he�d lasted this long was because of Kathy�s impromptu Leeching of him before they came here.
Removing the last phial of Pepper-Up from his pocket, he tipped the bottle to his lips and swallowed. Then he exited the gates and apparated back to Hogwarts.

--------------------

Albus made his way up to the ROR each day, but no matter how hard he tried he could not locate the door that led to Kathy. He had no way of knowing how she was, even if she was still alive. He was worried about Severus, the wizard had been gone for five days now and he had no way of contacting him.

He felt the boundrary wards waver for a minute and walked to the window. He could see a small, dark shape moving slowly up the drive and instinct told him it was his Potions Master. Even from this distance he knew who it was.
When Severus entered the castle, Albus was waiting for him.

�I am unharmed Albus, just overly tired. I have not slept since I left here and I need to check on Kathy. I intend to see if she is alright and regardless of her condition, I will sleep in the ROR. That is if I can make the stairs.
He did, and Kathy was so relieved to see him she overrode all her negative feelings as she helped him into the bedroom and onto the bed. He was asleep before she removed his boots and lifted his legs onto the bed.
She�d spent the last five days alone, constantly at war with herself. It took her two days to realise these were not really her rooms, that there were differences. Her kitchen was gone for a start, and her magic would not work to open the door, no matter how hard she concentrated. He meals arrived on time each day, but the cutlery would only stab into the food, if she attempted to stab the fork into the wooden table for example if she was angry, the fork would simply bend and flex like rubber.

It was frustrating, but after a while she got used to it. In fact by the forth day she realised how much safer it was for everyone that she was trapped in here alone. Surely she would have killed someone by now if she were free.

By the time Severus walked in the door she�d gained a reasonably good grip on herself and was for the most part, able to keep the worst of the destructive thoughts locked safely in the back of her mind.

Using only her mind, she undressed him and clad him in the nightshirt provided by the room. She figured she was in the ROR by the way things would adapt to suit her needs.

Once she�d tucked him in she sat on the side of the bed and stroked his hair, simply watching him. It soothed her to do this and she felt the last remnants of animosity leave her. In fact she felt more relaxed than she had in days and laid down beside him, still stroking his hair as she fell asleep.
