LEECH

Chapter 60

When he went to the ROR again after classes that day he breathed a sigh of relief. Kathy was Kathy, a smile on her face and clearly pleased to see him. It was like she were two different people, a split personality, only it was impossible to tell when the darker Kathy was going to emerge.

�How are you?�

�Okay. About earlier, I�m sorry. I couldn�t help it Severus, every time I think I can control it, the slightest little thing seems to set it off. I was fine a couple of minutes after you left this morning.�

�I am going to ask the room to allow me to monitor you when you are alone. Are you alright with that?�

�I suppose. But not the bathroom okay.�
He smiled. �Not the bathroom. Mainly I want to study your day to day behaviour, what happens when it takes over, your appearance before, during, and after the� What shall we call it, the take over?�

She nodded.

�You seemed to have a brief period where you were of what was about to happen yesterday. Is it always like that?�

�Yeah.. Yesterday was quick though. Sometimes it comes on slowly and I can fight it, not always successfully. At others it�s like it�s taken over before I realise and as you saw, I struggle to hold it back then. Oh Severus it�s horrible, I hate it, I hate what it makes me. I remember everything I felt, what I wanted to do. That day with the unicorn, when I bled the cancer into that tree, do you think it would work with this? Can I try?�
�It is something worth seriously considering, though I do have concerns about releasing you from this room. At the moment it is the only thing that stands between you and whatever you become when it happens. Kathy as much as I hate to say this, you are too dangerous to be allowed any kind of freedom at the moment.�

She knew what he was saying was true, but it didn�t make her feel any better and the tears flowed freely as she slumped into the chair and buried her face in her hands.

Severus, as wary as he was, stepped up to her and pulled her to her feet. He held her in his arms, his lips resting on the top of her head as she sobbed. He wanted to make everything right again, wanted to tell her that this� thing, would leave her, that it would fade in time as it did when she Leeched the others. But he couldn�t do that, he had no idea when, or even if, it would leave her. �Kathy I am sorry. I don�t know what I can say or do that will help you. But I want you to know that no matter what, I will always care for you, more than I have cared for anyone in my life.�

She pulled back a little so she could look at him. �You�re talking like I�m about to die. I�m not am I?� She asked, suddenly afraid of what he might be planning behind her back.
�No. I would never allow anyone to hurt you Kathy.�
She refused to allow anyone but Severus to visit her now, for fear they would not clear the room in time during a take over. Even with Severus she was reluctant, but she would go mad if she was on her own constantly, and besides, she missed him.
He and Albus were able to watch her through a full length mirror in Severus� study. It gave views of her living room and bedroom, but as requested, not her bathroom.

Albus always vacated the dungeons when Kathy retired to bed or began to undress to use the bathroom, completely unaware that her bedroom was also under surveillance.

Severus however had no such scruples. He missed her also, and both of them were afraid to initiate any kind of intimacy in case the thing took over at a most inopportune moment.

Both were frustrated at the situation.

After several weeks of hardly any change in Kathy, it was decided it would be too risky to allow her to go outside.
The Order were all fully informed of her condition, and Remus asked if it might be possible for her to Leech small amounts into a group of individuals, to spread it out so to speak.
The trouble was that no one knew if Kathy would still be able to control what she took and what she gave any more. In all likelihood she might be tempted to just drain whoever she had a hand on and leave them drained.
The total isolation was steadily getting to Kathy. Other than her daily visits from Severus, she saw no one. Even then he was forced to abandon some visits if she was raging.

The Dark Lord was displeased at her condition. He agreed it would be stupid to risk letting her near him, and besides, his own magic was almost back to what it had been before she Leeched him so he didn�t necessarily need her any more.

Severus was punished for it however, and returned to Hogwarts badly beaten and suffering from the effects of the Crucio.
In the ROR, Kathy had felt every stroke of the whip, each fist and boot as it connected with his body. She writhed on the floor in agony as the Crucio was cast on him and held there for an interminable time.
When Severus entered his study and saw the state Kathy was in, he knew that whatever he felt, she felt it more.

He wanted to go to her, to help her, but her eyes were a deep, blood red and it would be suicide if he entered the ROR now.
�This cannot go on Albus.� Severus said, pacing the Headmasters office. She is getting worse instead of better, and she endures my suffering tenfold. We have to do something.�

�I quite agree. I have been discussing the situation with Professor Binns, and we believe we may have come up with a solution. Not the best one perhaps, but at present it is the only one.�
Severus narrowed his eyes at the older wizard. �And that is?�
When Severus explained the only option open to them as a solution to her problem, Kathy was both relieved and heartbroken.
And Severus felt every bit of her sorrow as it mingled with his own. For days he�d mulled over the plan, he�d scoured libraries and book shops, searching for anything and everything he could on Leechers. What he found was precious little, and nothing he found had any bearing on their current problem. There was absolutely nothing he could do, but agree to comply with Albus and Binns� proposal.
