Chapter 9
The burning, searing pain of the Dark Mark was what woke Severus hours later. He cursed darkly as he dragged himself out of bed and dressed. He stumbled around for a few moments before he found his Death Eater robes and mask. He turned back to the bed briefly to see that Isis was already sitting up.
"Stay close to Harry while I'm at the meeting." Severus said curtly. "I have a feeling that this meeting will be hell for my fellow Death Eaters for allowing Harry to escape once again."
"Do not worry; I will stay close to him." Isis agreed.
"I fear Harry may have some kind of weird connection with the Dark Lord through his scar. Who knows what could happen to him because of that connection with the Dark Lord and his new connection to you and I while I'm at this meeting." Severus warned.
"Be careful, Sev." Isis advised softly.
"I'll be as careful as I can." Severus replied.
Isis got out of bed and went up to Severus. They shared a brief hug and kiss before Severus turned and left. She paused for a few moments before going into the adjoining room to check up on Harry. She entered Harry's room to find him still sleeping with a sleeping Kasha curled up next to him. Isis walked up to the bed and placed her hand on Kasha's head. The angel tiger began to stir after a few moments and focused sleepy eyes onto Isis.
"I am Isis, and the man who was with me earlier was Severus." Isis whispered the introduction. "Would you mind coming to get me if something disturbs Harry?"
"I wouldn't mind." Kasha replied quietly.
"Then I will leave my door open." Isis murmured.
Kasha curled back up with Harry as Isis went back into the master bedroom. She went back up to the bed and collapsed onto it. She was still a little tired and ended up falling back to sleep for a while. Half an hour later she stirred again knowing that something was wrong. Isis was just getting out of bed again when Kasha bounded into the room.
"Harry just began to violently toss and turn in his sleep." Kasha said. "It's going to get worse, though. His visions always do."
'Severus, it has already begun.' Isis thought.
There was a small pause. 'I know; I can feel it slightly. Go get the appropriate potions, one of the kits should do, just in case they are needed and then stay with Harry to make sure that he's okay. Keep me informed only if you have to. This meeting could go on for quite a while. The Dark Lord is furious. I don't want the Dark Lord to know about how we can communicate telepathically with each other.'
'Alright, Sev. Be safe.' Isis then sighed. "Go back in with Harry. I will be in shortly; I must retrieve some potions in case they are needed."
"Okay." Kasha said just before she went back to Harry's side.
Isis quickly left her room and went down the hall. She went down the hall twenty feet passed the room Petunia was in and briefly stopped outside of a large stone door. She opened the door and went down into Severus's potion lab. Isis went right to the office part of the lab and behind the desk. She opened the cabinet there and took one of the potion kits that Severus always has in stock and on him when he went to the Death Eater meetings. She made her way back toward Harry's room as Harry began to scream. Isis reached Harry's room in time to stop Petunia from entering the room and accidentally making the situation worse. Isis easily placed herself between Petunia and the door to Harry's room.
"What the hell is going on?" Petunia demanded. "What's happening to Harry?"
"He is having a vision of a Death Eater meeting while he is sleeping. He will be okay once I give him some potions that will help." Isis replied. She knew that because she had gathered the information from Severus's mind through their connection. "Now please move." Isis may have been in front of the door, but Petunia was the one who had her hand on the door handle.
"No! I want to see my nephew." Petunia said. She was tempted to try to push passed the other woman who was trying to prevent her from seeing her nephew.
"I am sorry, Mrs. Dursley, but I do not have time to argue with you. I cannot allow you to see Harry while he is like this, if I did it could make the whole situation even worse. Please do not make me ask you to move again." Isis sighed. She was trying to keep her temper in check. She managed to gather more information from Severus's mind and that was how she knew that the situation could easily go from bad to worse if too many people were around Harry while he was having a vision. Isis had no idea how Harry would react to other people, besides his mates, being with him during a vision because of being turned.
"Why are you doing this? He's my nephew; I have a right to see him." Petunia stated as she stepped aside in defeat. She didn't like doing so, but she didn't feel like arguing with one of the people who had saved her and her nephew. She did, however, want some answers if she was able to get them.
"That may be, but I am fairly certain that Harry would not like for you to see him while he is having a vision." Isis replied gently. 'Remain calm.' She told herself firmly. 'She is part of Harry's family. It would not do to fight with the woman. This conversion needs to end so that I can get to Harry.' Isis was getting annoyed but was forcing herself to play nice, so to speak.
"I see, and then will he be alright?" Petunia asked, still wanting to try to get even a tiny bit of information.
"He will be fine as soon as I get him to take some of these potions. After that he will have to rest for a while longer, then you will be able to see him if he feels up to it. Good evening to you, Mrs. Dursley." Isis said a little stiffly just before she entered Harry's room. She had finally had enough of hiding her annoyance.
Isis quietly, yet firmly, closed the door behind her so that Petunia wouldn't be tempted to come into the room anyway. She also paused long enough to ward the door to prevent anyone, besides Harry's mates, from entering the room until just after dawn. By that time, when Isis was done warding the door, Harry's screams had turned into whimpering and moaning. Isis approached the bed and put the potions kit on the nightstand next to the bed. She climbed onto the bed and shifted Harry enough so that he was now in her lap and leaned his head against her chest.
"Harry." Isis murmured. "I am here for you now. Everything will be alright. Focus on my voice, young one, and try to push the vision out of your mind. It is your mind; you have the ability to push unwanted things out if you want to, or be able to distance yourself from the unwanted things, like your visions."
Harry began to calm down even more in his sleep. Even in his sleep he was able to hear Isis and focus on her instead of the vision. His moaning and whimpering lessened even more as he snuggled into Isis's warm and comforting embrace. Soon he was able to pull himself out of his vision enough so that it was no longer hurting him anymore. About two hours had passed before Harry was completely quiet again and also resting peacefully. Severus had just got home and was about to enter Harry's room when Albus seemed to appear out of nowhere and stopped the agitated spy.
"Not now, Albus!" Severus snarled. "I will give my report to you later. Right now the most important thing for me to do is to check up on both of my mates! Then I plan on getting some sleep before briefing you on the meeting. My mates and I are not to be disturbed until sometime after lunch, unless it is an absolute emergency. Good evening, Headmaster!"
"Good night, Severus, my boy. And rest well." Albus replied before he turned and went back to one of the guest rooms that he happened to be sharing with Minerva. He had only stopped Severus in order to make sure he was alright after the Death Eater meeting; with that accomplished, he could now sleep easier knowing that his friend seemed to be okay.
Severus growled to himself before he turned and quietly entered Harry's room. He softly closed the door behind him and turned his haunted eyes to Isis. After a small hesitation he went to the bed and climbed up next to both of his mates.
"How is he?" Severus whispered as he curled up next to Harry's left side while Isis was on Harry's right side.
"He is better than he was half an hour after you left. He has been relatively calm since I have been in here with him." Isis softly replied. "He was even able to distance himself from the vision for the most part, I believe."
"That is a relief to hear. As far as I know, this is the first time he has been able to distance himself from a vision. It seems the change may have had a hand in helping him to progress." Severus sighed.
"How are you feeling, Sev?" Isis asked.
"Stiff, sore, tired, and slightly grouchy." Severus listed off quietly with a scowl. "Otherwise, I'm just fine. I got off relatively lightly compared to some of the others who were in charge of capturing Harry and failed. I was very lucky compared to them. The Dark Lord barely even looked at me this time."
"Always so blunt." Isis muttered and rolled her eyes.
"Of course." Severus stated. "I have no reason not to be blunt."
"True. You do have a point. You are not used to not being blunt when it suits you." Isis giggled lightly. She couldn't resist teasing him at the moment.
"Are you making fun of me?" Severus growled darkly. He wasn't in the mood to be teased; then again, maybe he was depending on the next thing that Isis said.
"No, never of you, just some of your habits at times." Isis answered.
"Some times you can be such a pest." Severus joked mildly.
"That may be, but you love me anyway." Isis pointed out. "Unusual sense of humor and all."
"Indeed," Severus paused momentarily, "but joking aside, we still have things to talk about. One being what we are going to do with those two muggles and the other being your father."
"My father?" Isis repeated in surprise. "What does he have to do with any of this?"
"I am only saying that we should get in touch with him soon and let him know about Harry being our mate." Severus said. "Plus I'm sure your family would love to meet young Harry and attempt to spoil him. Your family will have to learn about him sooner or later."
"I suppose you are right," Isis sighed, "but we should wait a few more days to let Harry recover more before submitting him to my… unique family."
"That is acceptable." Severus murmured. "Although I wouldn't be surprised if your family already knows that we found another mate."
"That is possible." Isis groaned. "And if that is the case then we can expect to see my father within the next twenty-four hours or so. Now, as for those muggles, what kind of ideas do you have already, Sev?"
"Oh, I have many ideas." Severus sneered. "Yet some of them don't seem to be horrific or painful enough to serve justice for their crimes."
"You always did take your revenge very seriously."
"Of course I do, otherwise it may not ever get done or might not be taken seriously at all. Hmm…. There are so many things that we could do to punish those two vile muggle men."
"Yes, but it would be best if we did not make our retribution last for hours. It would probably be unwise for us to both be away from Harry for too long." Isis paused as Kasha jumped up onto the bed and curled up at the end of the bed near their feet. "After all, the coven does not know of our new mate yet."
"If any of them even dares to so much as even lay one finger on Harry then they will live to seriously regret their error." Severus threatened dangerously. "Our retribution will be swift and quick just to be on the safe side and to make sure that no one in the coven gets bold and decides to check out our mate. I know I'm sounding over-protective, but after everything that Harry's been through it is justified in my opinion." He was growling softly. "Those in the coven had better stay away from Harry."
"You are right, Sev, it is justified. The only thing is that we will both have to try not to be too overbearing with Harry. We would not want to scare him away after he already decided to stay with us. The coven will be easy to handle."
"Point taken. I will make sure to control myself. Back to the two muggles again. I have three choices. Should we torture them and then kill them, kill them, or torture them and then let wizarding laws handle them from there?"
"The third option seems to be the most fitting for them as punishment. That way they are submitted to both vampiric laws and wizarding laws alike. Plus it means more justice for Harry with this option."
"I thought that you would like the last choice more than the other two choices. I had liked that one best as well, that way Albus and Minerva would be able to punish the Dursley men as well before handing them over to the Aurors." Severus smirked briefly. "Who knows, they might even be punished by muggle laws too after the ministry is done with them. If there is anything left to be dealt with after both vampire and wizarding justice."
"That Mrs. Dursley woman, I think that her first name is Petunia, is really anxious to see Harry. I had a hard time keeping her from bursting into the room while Harry was having that vision. I did not want her to accidentally make the situation worse." 'She also wasted some of my time.' She added silently.
"A wise decision. From what Albus and Minerva have told me, Harry's visions seem to be worse when there are more than one or two people with him during it. Harry's aunt will just have to wait until after lunch to see him." 'Play nice, darling.' Severus warned softly.
'Fine, I will continue to play nice for now. But that woman better watch herself and what she does around Harry.' Isis grumbled a little bit. She was going to say something out loud, but didn't get to it. Instead she just shrugged.
"What's going on?" A quiet voice asked so suddenly that it startled Severus and Isis a little until they realized that it was just Harry. "My aunt wants to see me? Is she here?"
"Yes, she is here, Harry." Severus answered. "How long have you been awake?"
"Only since Kasha jumped onto bed." Harry stated. "Why is my Aunt Petunia here?" He was confused about his aunt being there as well and wondered why she was there to being with.
Isis looked to Severus. "Perhaps you should explain, Sev." 'I do not really want to talk about her any more if I can help it, but maybe he should at least talk to the woman or something.'
"She's here because she's the one who contacted us to get you and her out of the abusive environment you were both in." Severus sighed. "Maybe it would be best if you let your aunt try explaining it, then it might make more sense to you."
"Okay." Harry said. "I guess I could listen to what she has to say."
"That is good." Isis said in relief. "I belief she has a lot to tell you, Harry." 'Even though I do not particularly care for the woman at this point in time.'
'Isis, behave.' Severus reprimanded quietly. 'You are thinking too loudly about the woman.'
"What time is it?" Harry asked just before he yawned.
"Some where between midnight and two A.M. Perhaps it would be best if Isis and I went back into our room so you can get some rest." Severus suggested softly. Harry didn't notice it, but Severus gave Isis a sharp look. 'Whether we like Petunia or not is irrelevant at this time. She is Harry's family. Now stop it for now.'
'Fine.' Isis ceded. 'I'll stop.'
'Good, because I do not want to think about Petunia any more right now.' Severus stated.
"No!" Harry said at once. It was still early, but Harry was already starting to depend on both of them. "I want you both to stay, please."
Severus and Isis both looked at each other and gave each other a slight nod. They were done arguing and talking about Petunia anyway, so they didn't see any harm in staying with their mate.
"Alright, Harry, we will stay with you." Isis whispered soothingly.
The three of them stayed curled up next to each other for quite some time. It only took Harry a short time to fall back asleep. A couple minutes after Harry fell back to sleep Isis and Severus also went back to sleep. Kasha remained curled up at the foot of the bed as they all slept. They all remained in a peaceful sleep until around lunchtime.
