No One Comes When You Cry

Chapter 61
Sky was asleep in bed when he returned to their rooms; he undressed and climbed in beside her, wrapping himself around her to steal her warmth.
Sky stirred when she felt the familiar hardness poking her bum and turned to him sleepily. �Any luck tonight?� She asked, yawning.
�Indeed there was. I shall tell you in the morning, go back to sleep.� He wanted her badly right now, but it had been a busy day and he did not want to interrupt her sleep anymore than he already had.
Sky didn�t answer, she�d drifted back to sleep before he finished speaking.
�Severus do you honestly believe we are at risk from a fifteen year old boy who is terrified at the prospect of something he is being forced to do?�
�I believe that a person of any age can act completely out of character when feeling threatened or in fear of their family�s lives.�
�So we need to know what his father thinks about all this. Whether he is really for Voldemort, or wishing he was away from his clutches.�
�Exactly, but we have no way of finding that out.�
�Yes we have. The mirror. He might let something slip if we listen in to him when he�s at home.�
Severus could have kicked himself. The mirror had never occurred to him. �Of course. Sky tell me, those times you entered my mind when I was in the classroom and you were in the wall, did you do that through the mirror also?�
�She smiled at him and nodded. �Do you want me to do the same on Mr Zabini?�
�It would be helpful if you did. It is more likely you will discover his loyalties from his mind, rather than waiting until he says something that may or may not disclose his true allegiance.�
�I�ll do it tonight. I don�t know about you, but my deepest thoughts are more to the fore when I�m tired and about to go to sleep.�
�Good thinking. It makes more sense than trying to read his thoughts when he might be concentrating on something else.�
�Severus.� When he raised his head to her, she asked tentatively. �If Zabini is on our side, or doesn�t want to be where he is now, you know, with Voldemort, I want to talk to Mario. Alone. I want to be able to convince that we�ll keep him and his family safe if we can.�

�And how do you propose we do that? Zabini Snr has the Mark. Unless you � Oh no, I will not allow you to go through that again. I may not know most of what you did when you removed my mark, but I do know it took too much from you.�
�Only because I removed it as well as deactivated it. Simply deactivating one is much simpler and quicker. Please Severus, if the man doesn�t want to be a Death Eater any more, doesn�t he and his family deserve a chance?�
He glared at her for a moment, then levelled off with a scowl. �Let us first decipher his feelings on the matter, then we can decide what to do about it.� Severus picked up a pile of parchments from his desk and left to take his first class of the day.

Sky spent an hour watching Mr Zabini, curious about him more than anything else. His wife was incredibly beautiful, long dark hair and bright blue almond shaped eyes. She was tall and slim with just the right amount of curves where it counted. She carried herself like a woman of nobility and Sky could not help but compare herself to the woman.

Her own stomach was nice and flat again, and firm, but she had stretch marks from being so big with the triplets and her breasts were heavy and sometimes uncomfortable. Too big for Sky�s liking.

Mr Zabini was quite a handsome man, dark skinned, tall and well built. Sky preferred how Severus looked though, his dark eyes, slim toned body and long fingered hands, his voice that could melt chocolate if he wanted it to. She closed the connection and decided to take the children out in their buggy, hopefully it would take her mind away from thoughts of Severus and what the mere thought of him was able to do to her.
When they were halfway across the grounds, she veered left, thinking maybe Madam Hooch would be giving a flying lesson to one of the classes. When Sky realised the skies were devoid of broomsticks, she headed for the lake. Maybe the giant squid would be playing on the surface and the boys could watch it for a while.
It was and the boys babbled excitedly, reaching out their chubby arms towards the great pink moving toy. They wanted to play with it.
�Sorry you lot, the giant squid is not something you can mess about with.� She told them fondly. When you�re older, I�ll teach you how to tickle him to make him more friendly.�
The boys soon got bored with watching the squid and Sky turned the buggy to walk further round the lake. When they reached the place where Severus once had her test her wand on some fallen trees, she found they were still there and sent them dancing in the air to amuse the boys.
When she lowered them again however, she had to blast one of them quickly when all three babies screamed and reached out. All of a sudden, one of the tree trunks lifted and zoomed towards them. Sky went pale and aimed her wand at it, discharging it in a blaze of light and sending it crashing into the treetops to the left of where they were positioned.

�Oh my God.� She thought, shaking with the thought that her babies could have been killed and looking around frantically to see who could have done such a stupid thing. Unable to see anyone, she turned the buggy and dashed back to the castle as fast as she could.
Severus met her when she had almost reached the steps. He�d been in class and h the hair on the back of his neck had suddenly stood on end, a terrible feeling of foreboding invading him.

He instructed a boy called Braitheweight to watch over the rest of the sixth year Ravenclaw/Hufflepuffs and dashed to his rooms. When he discovered Sky and the children missing, he ran outside in time to see her pushing the buggy as fast as she could in his direction and ran down to meet her. It was clear by her tear-streaked face that something was wrong.
�What is it, what happened?� He asked, eyes scanning the area.
�Lets get them inside first, please Severus.� She pleaded, looking around nervously.
Severus grabbed her arm and pulled her along while he levitated the buggy up the steps and inside. He lowered it and closed the massive doors. �Now, tell me what has happened.�
Sky explained about the trees, then what happened next. �I looked Severus but there was no one in sight. Why would anyone do such a thing? I don�t understand.�
Albus appeared, having witnessed her flight across the grounds from his office window.
�I do not think anyone was there beside yourself and the children.� He said, his eyes twinkling at the appalled looks on Severus and Sky�s faces.

�Watch.� He added, conjuring a large laughing teddy bear and holding in view of the children, but out of their reach.

As one, the children reached out and the teddy flew from the Headmasters hands and straight into the hands of the delighted children, who squealed with joy at their prize.
�You mean � but they are only eight months old. How could this be?�
Sky looked at Severus puzzled. �The children did this, moved the tree, then this?� She asked incredulously.
�It would appear so. Though magical children are not so controlled or powerful as this until they are at least ten or eleven years of age.� He told her.
�That is true Severus, but you see they are three. And three identicals at that. Together they are a formidable force, even at such a tender age. I f they all want the same thing at the same time, they are going to work together to ensure they get it. I fear they will put even the Weasley twins to shame before they are of age to own a wand.� Albus told them.
�Dear Gods.� Severus breathed, wondering how on earth they were going to control their children.
�Severus what are we going to do? That tree could have killed us out there.�
Severus looked at her, then the triplets playing happily with the bear, then turned his eyes to Albus.
Albus shrugged and lifted his hands, at a loss as to what to suggest. �All I can think of is to try and keep them distracted as much as possible. Now they have discovered they can get what they want, when they want it, they will work together frequently to gain the object of their desire. I dare say they will also find many more possibilities of working together.� He chuckled and left to go back to his office, leaving the couple stunned.
�Could you do magic at that age?� Sky asked once the boys were asleep in their cots.
�How do I know, I cannot remember that far back.� He answered testily. �Perhaps Effy would like some help with them if they are going to be this powerful together.�
Effy was most adamant that she did not need help with the children. Effy had her own special brand of magic and was quite capable of controlling any sudden bursts of magic the boys might display.
�Then what about another elf to assist you with the day to day running of these rooms. You would be in charge of course, and it would leave you free to accompany Sky or even both of us when we are absent with the children. As things stand, we could really use your help in controlling the boys at all times Effy.� Severus told her.
Effy seemed to consider this for a while. It would be useful to have another elf at her beck and call, especially if Effy herself was needed to accompany the babies wherever they went. Plus she would get to tell the other elf what to do, give orders and such. That would make Effy even more important then she was now. �Okay, Effy will have some help from another elf. Can Effy picks who she wants Sir?�
�You may select several possibilities Effy, then my wife and myself will consider your chosen options. Depending how many there are to choose from, we shall whittle them down to a select few and you may chose from those.�
Sky smiled behind her hand at the smug look on Effy�s face and Severus� diplomatic way of getting the elf to agree to accepting help from another elf.
�Will other elf be allowed to bond with yous like Effy?� She asked warily.
�No Effy, not unless you think it�s a good idea and we all agree to it.� Sky said before Severus took control of the conversation again. Sky wanted some say in this after all.
Effy�s ears perked up, and she disappeared to the kitchens to tell the Shannon and begin sorting through the many elves gathered round her that were all eager to help with the babies.
�For a start, you is not allowed near the little ones, they is my job. Yous will only do jobs that Effy tells you to do. The master and mistress says I is to be in charge. So what I says goes. Nor will yous be able to bond with the Snapes unless Effy and the master and mistress tells you.� She told them importantly.
Shannon cackled gleefully as Effy eyed the wide-eyed elves surrounding her.
Effy reported to Severus and Sky that eighty seven elves had applied to work for the Snapes. At their look of astonishment, she told them she�d chosen eleven to be interviewed, and that they would be arriving after dinner that evening.
�Well at least we only have to see eleven of them. I don�t think I could have handles eighty of them Severus.�
Severus too was surprised at the number of elves eager to work for them. He knew well how the elves feared him personally. Apart from Spin that is. She was the elf that assisted him with Sky when he first brought her to Hogwarts as nothing more than an emancipated bundle of rags.
That evening turned out to be an hour of absolute chaos, as all the prospective elves were determined to outdo each other and prove they were the better elf for the job.
After watching and listening to the constantly squabbling elves until his head ached, he stood and glared at them all. He noticed Spin was amongst the elves who�d applied, but she kept her distance slightly from the others and did not join the fray.

�Enough.� He bellowed.
The elves immediately quieted and hung their heads shamefully.
�I will not stand for this kind of behaviour from anyone, be they elf or human. Spin, you may stay, the rest of you, be gone.� He demanded.
The elves all disappeared with a pop and Severus turned to Effy.

�It seems we are left with one option Effy. Spin has served me well previously, she in fact was the one who assisted me with your mistress when she arrived here more dead then alive. Are you agreeable to her being your assistant?�
�Yes Sir, Effy and Spin is good friends we is.�
�Sky, are you happy to have Spin join us?�
Sky nodded, remembering the little elf from several years back, how tender she�d been with her, even though Sky was somewhat afraid of her at first. �I think Spin would be the perfect companion for you Effy.�
So Spin was welcomed into the Snape household and soon settled into their routine. Effy did not need to give her orders, she instinctively knew what was needed of her and was quick to make herself indispensable to them all. Effy even let her play with the babies sometimes and help with changing their nappies. For that Spin was grateful.
The two elves often took the triplets for walks together, leaving Sky free to do more things for herself.
Her exploration into Mr Zabini�s mind proved fruitful. He did indeed regret ever getting involved with the dark Lord and his wife hated the fact that he had.
That weekend was a Hogsmead weekend, so no one noticed when Mario Zabini did not show in the common room on Saturday morning.
Mario went to bed as normal, and woke to find himself bound and silenced on a strange sofa in a strange room. His eyes widened in panic until Sky came into the room and raged about him being tied up like that.
�We do not know yet of we can trust him. It is better this way.� Severus insisted.
�It is not Severus. He�s fifteen and terrified for goodness sake.� Sky waved her wand and Mario�s binds vanished. She also removed the silencing spell.
Mario stayed where he was on the bed, not daring to move as he warily eyed his professor and Mrs Snape.
Sky spoke quietly to Severus. �You said I could talk to him first, you did not say anything about kidnapping him. Go and find something else to do.� She hissed, half pushing him out of the room.
�Fine.� he whispered back to her. �But for Merlin�s sake be wary of him.�
�Severus I can handle a young boy. Now go on.�
Severus stepped back into his study and Sky went to the wall kitchen to get pumpkin juice and cake for her and Mario.

�I�m really sorry about that Mario. It is not how I wanted our first meeting to be.�
Mario looked at her incredulously. �What meeting? Why am I here? Where am I?�
�Somewhere safe where no one can harm you. Mario I know what you are being forced to do, I am here to tell you it is no longer necessary.�

When Mario opened his mouth to speak she held up a hand to silence him. �Your parents are being picked up right now and will be taken to another place of safety. They no more want to serve Voldemort than you do. If you father is agreeable, I will deactivate the mark on his arm and he won�t be summoned any more. We know about the room in the east tower and what you were supposed to do. We also know that you do not want to do it. We intend to give you the chance to lead the kind of life you want to live Mario. Will you trust me, us?�
Mario stared at her disbelievingly for a moment, the hid his face in the back of the sofa and cried.

When Sky settled on the sofa next to him and laid a hand on his shoulder, he turned and cried into her robes instead.
Sky held him for as long as it took him to cry himself out, then waved her hand over him to clean his face and passed him a hanky.
�Why?� He asked brokenly. �Why are you doing this for us?�
�Because I think you are frightened and should not be forced into doing something you do not believe in. Also because I want to help you. We want to help you. It will mean you�ll have to be kept hidden away until this is all over, after that you can return to school and no one will be any the wiser about what happened to you.�
�I wish that were true, but he�ll find out, the Dark Lord. He will kill my family if I fail.�

�No he wont� As soon as your family are safe, Severus will let us know and you can see them. I am going to leave you for a little while to think about things Mario. You will not be able to leave these rooms without my aid, and the door to the left of the fireplace will not open for you. Severus has your wand so you cannot harm yourself and if you want more food or drink, there is a cabinet in the kitchen that will provide what you want. It won�t give you alcohol though. The bathroom is through there, and Salazar will be keeping a watchful eye on you. I would suggest you get some sleep too.�
�Salazar?� he asked, confused.
�Salazar Slytherin at your service boy.�
Mario jumped and turned to the source of the strange voice. His eyes widened in awe at the portrait on the wall. His eyes turned back to Sky and back to the portrait, then back to Sky. �That�s Salazar Slytherin? Really?�
�Well I am not Helga Hufflepuff. I assumed you would be more comfortable with me than one of the other founders.�
Mario gulped and looked at Sky again.
�You�ll be fine Mario. Sal was my first teacher, he�s a good man, believe me.�

�TBC

Ooo. Mario�s in the wall, not that he knows that.
