LEECH

Chapter 65

�Tell me how it was Severus.� She said sadly.
�I will show you.� Taking her hand he held her fingertips against his temples and whispered, �Legillimens.�

�Do you hate me?� He asked, once she�d seen all he had to show her.

�I could never hate you Severus. And after seeing that, I think you are the bravest, most noble man I could ever hope to meet. What about him, Voldemmm�

Severus clamped a hand on her mouth. �Whatever you do, don�t speak his name. It is keyed to focus on whoever says it. We could be bombarded with Death Eaters in minutes of you uttering it.�
�Oh I didn�t� What about Hogwarts then, hadn�t you better get back there? Won�t they be wondering where you are?�
�Trying to get rid of me?�

�You know I�m not, but if he thinks you�re dead, the others will need to know you�re not won�t they? They�ll want to know you�re okay.�

�If they know yet of my death, most likely they will be rejoicing and dancing on my grave.� He told Kathy everything that happened since she�d been Obliviated, drugged, and brought here. Right up until his bite from the king cobra.
�Then we�ll go back together. I�ll help you explain, you can show them what you showed me. And we need to find out what�s happening Severus. We can�t let Vol� him win. We can�t.�
�Kathy I don�t want to go back. I want to forget about it, all of it. I have spent the better part of my life serving two Masters, if I go back now I�ll either be thrown into Askaban or the Dark Lord will kill me all over again. I just want to stay here, with you. I�ve had enough.�
�Then I�ll go. We need to know what�s happening at the very least. When you told me about� about Albus, I didn�t get angry Severus. Not even a bit. Yes I was hurt, upset, but the rage didn�t come. I don�t know but, maybe Tom is� well, maybe he�s dead? Even if he�s not, I can feel. No, I can�t feel. That�s it. Severus I can�t feel it, him anymore. The anger, the hatred for all things good. The desire to quash, to be all powerful, it isn�t in me any longer. Don�t ask me how I know, I don�t know how I know. But I do. Let me go there, let me find out what�s happening. Maybe I can get you some more clothes.� She offered hopefully.
�Right, you�ll just walk into Hogwarts, say �Hi, what�s happened so far? Incidentally, can I have some fresh robes for Severus. He�s not quite as dead as you thought he was.�
�Stop talking rot. Of course I won�t. Give me some credit Severus, please. I need to Leech you first. I might have healed you, but I didn�t take any of your magic.�

�What? You have to be kidding.�
�Do I sound like I�m kidding. Please, I�ll give it right back, I promise.�
Twenty minutes later Kathy was dressed and in her coat, Severus was Leeched and feeling extremely powerful, and he was handing her a list of items he wanted her to bring back for him.
�Make sure to get my things first. Stay disillusioned and reduce everything to fit in your pockets. Maybe you should take a bag with you. I can use an undetectable expanding charm on it, that way you can fit everything in it and no one will know when you show your face.�

Kathy looked at the list. It trailed on the floor. �Severus, this list is a mile long. What do you want Jack for? What if he leaks?�
�Just take what you can manage. Cyclopes has been with me for a very long time Kathy, I like having him around.�
Your potions cabinet? Come on Severus, I can�t get all of this.�
�The first two thirds are the most important. Perhaps you could go back for the rest another time.� He conceded.
�Hmph! I�ll see you when I get back. Most likely I will break my back carrying this lot.�

�Wait. Don�t I get a kiss first?� He stopped her before she opened the door.
She turned and lifted her face to him, then leaned in as he lowered his head and kissed her with all the longing he�d harboured for the last year and a half.

When they finally broke apart she felt dizzy. �How am I supposed to apparate after that?� She asked, pressing her fingers to her lips and staring at him with lust filled eyes.
�With the knowledge that there are more where that came from. When you return that is.� He told her silkily.
When she eventually turned back to the door he took hold of her again. �Kathy, you can apparate from here. There�s no need to go outside.�
�Right, yeah. See ya then.� She said dreamily before spinning and disappearing.
He smirked, then frowned. With the state she was in she might have splinched.

When Kathy arrived at Hogwarts, it was to the most horrendous sight she�d ever seen.

Bodies were strewn across the lawns. Both good and bad, the amount of death and carnage before her was heartbreaking, sickening. She�d never seen so much blood. The castle was for the most part still standing, but there was major structural damage. Whole towers lay broken on the ground. It was like the blitz during the war. �Oh God. Why did this have to happen? Why?� She passed through the gates, both of which were swung wide, and made her way down the drive, trying hard not to see the bodies of the fallen through her tear filled eyes. By the time she reached the steps she was crying openly. She�d forgotten all about the disillusionment spell and Severus� list. It no longer seemed to matter after the remnants of the bloodbath she�d seen outside. She had no idea what to expect once she got inside. Whether any of her friends would be here, or whether Tom was now ruling the country. She still couldn�t feel anything left of him and that gave her a little hope.
�Kathy? Is that you? Oh dear Gods Kathy.�

She turned to find herself pulled into the arms of Minerva. The witch almost crushed her as she wept with her.
�So much has happened. Why are you here? How did you know to come?�
�I� it�s gone, the badness, it�s gone Minerva. You better let go of me, I don�t want you to� you know.�
�Minerva pulled away. �I don�t feel like anything happened. Can you still do it?�

�Yes, I�m still a Leech. I think having to contain the anger for so long has taught me to hold in the Leeching too, unless I need to use it. What happened? Out there, so much blood, so many dead.�
Minerva led her to the kitchens where the elves fell over themselves to serve the two women. A few were wary of Kathy, and all were careful not to touch her, but they were polite and provided them with tea and cakes.
Minerva told Kathy what had happened, she told her about Harry being a horcrux and what he did to bring about the defeat of Voldemort. How Neville slew Nagini with the sword of Gryffindor, about the giants and the Elder wand.
�So I was right, he is dead. What about the others?�
When she finished telling Kathy everything, including Severus� enforced killing of Dumbledore and the memories Harry had taken from him that proved his innocence, she took her up to the hospital wing.
Poppy was more than pleased to see her. The nurse was exhausted and badly in need of some sleep.

Most of the major injuries had been sent to St. Mungos, so Kathy moved through the beds, healing those that were in bad shape before following Minerva down to the Great Hall where the dead were laid out waiting for collection.
