(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Last Time:
The young girl sniffled “yeah … but at least you won’t be here and soon I won’t be either” she said as they huddled together being careful not to hurt each other’s wounds …

“now if you neglect to include the lacewing, which is another common mistake, this will happen” Harry said from behind a barrier set up outside Decoction with a group of young students and some other potion masters including Severus who was allowed to oversee the lessons as promised … and by lessons Harry apparently meant ‘blow up cauldrons in order to make the youngest students realize how dangerous potions were’ and destroying enchanted store front dummies “see the spray … that’s deadly if not caught quickly. Never breath in potion fumes or let spray set on your skin” Harry said as the dummy at the cauldron was sprayed by the overflowing potion … and burst into flames soon after …
The blunt statement was followed by a few more demonstrations to further traumatize every student there. When one test dummy neglected to properly dice the mandrake root and was covered in painful looking blisters Severus had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. The kids looked scared and they clearly got the point, which made Severus tempted to go back to teaching just to try this tactic on the dunderheads at Hogwarts, but then he remembered the stress of grading and exam writing … he hated those things so much that there was no way he’ll go back to teaching.
“technically these potions are for next year. The ones you’ll be doing for your summer homework aren’t as volatile, but they are more dangerous than the salves you did for practicing ingredient preparation during your first year so do pay attention. Read the recipes thoroughly before you start and never close your hands when dropping ingredients into the cauldron. That’s a good way to miss something that is stuck between your fingers and we saw happens when certain things are left out. Have fun brewing!” Harry said perhaps too cheerfully after such a demonstration, but the kids went to their stations inside where the older students already started their own assignments under the other potion masters’ watchful eyes.
“you terrified them” Severus whispered softly in amusement as Harry came over to the upper level where he was watching the kids below.
“I do what I must to drive the point home” Harry said with a smirk. Admittedly he did enjoy the display, but he was happy knowing he did all he could to mentally prepare the kids for brewing dangers “I want them to know what could happen if you don’t. you can’t control kids, but you can protect by giving them knowledge so I’d like to think anyone would do the same no matter how awkward it may be … especially for their own kids- … never mind. What did you think of the Herbology reports?”
Severus raised an eyebrow at the quick change in subject, but ignored it for now “it was incredibly enlightening. I have a project that will benefit greatly from using the clipping of one of the new sprouts. I signed up for one of the first cuts”
“good move. The saplings are small so everything will be limited for the time being … I will be going over to Britain in a couple weeks to oversee the squib treatment program” Harry commented seemingly unconcerned with the fact.
“what?” Severus blinked. He was positive that he heard Harry wrong, but it soon became startling obvious that the director was not joking “are you sure you want to do this?”
Harry sighed “it has nothing to do with want. The Squib Bylines are my invention and, more to the point, most of the healers helping with treating and training the UK’s squibs are from Decoction. I am obligated to oversee at least some of the program. I can use this teaching excuse for only two more weeks”
A twinge of guilt hit Severus “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have gone to the healers here-”
The blonde sighed as he shook his head “this is not your fault. Not by a long shot. The people in the UK needed assistance and as their representative you got help. Whether you went through Decoction for medical help or not it doesn’t matter since it is still my bylines. Of course there is something you could do for me to make it easier”
“tell me” Severus urged hoping to help Harry in any way.
“have dinner with me before that” Harry said as he stood straight and looked down at Severus through those glasses.
Severus just gaped, but said nothing. The first word that entered his mind ‘yes!’, but he wanted time. Time to remove the mark tainting his arm and he had to get rid of that before he could even try to have a relationship “I … don’t know … there are a lot of things I can get passed, but … I have to erase one thing if I want to move forward” the dark haired wizard answered honestly as he looked away from Harry and down at the students below. His breath hitched as he felt a strong pair of arms wrap around his waist from behind and a leg move up to part his legs “H-Harry?”
“I understand completely … that’s why I accepted the change in the colors of my eyes and hair so easily” Harry whispered against the shell of Severus’s ear earning a shiver from the smaller wizard “I will wait as long as you need, but …” he paused and let his left hand rest on the slim hip. The blonde tugged the shirt out of the pants and his thumb slipped under the hem of the shirt to stroke a bare hip “don’t expect me to not express how I feel” Harry whispered hotly into that sensitive ear.
As a pair of lips caressed his neck Severus bit his lip to keep down a mewl, but the hand trailing along his hip a casually slipping under the hem of his pants was not helping keeping his mind together “ah … Harry p-please not here … nghh … someone can see” Severus gasped softly and squirmed in the blonde’s strong grasp.
“no one can see through the rail” Harry commented absentmindedly before continuing his molesting of the neck and it was true. The railing for the upper level was solid to act as a shield so those watching the brewing below won’t be caught in the fumes and the rails will minimize the injuries in case of an explosion or spray. Harry can tease Severus from the stomach down and no one would know anything beyond the few kisses to the neck was happening.
“b-but H-Harry … nghh” Severus’s knees were shaking as the simple touches just over his crotch made his body react. So gentle … so intimate … no one has touched him so lovingly before. It was making his pants tight with need.
“tell me to stop and I will” Harry said as he stepped back pulling Severus with him.
Dazed black eyes widened as he was pulled into a closet and he felt himself being pinned against a wall. He felt himself melt as he locked eyes with the blonde “Harry…” Severus breathed wistfully, but he couldn’t find any words to express his feelings so instead he stood on his tiptoes and kissed Harry passionately. When the steamy kiss ended Severus quickly retreated from the closet leaving Harry behind.
“trouble in paradise director?” Wyatt sneered after Severus all but ran passed him. Harry merely adjusted his glasses in response to the question. First off it wasn’t the man’s business and Harry knew why Severus left so quickly. It wasn’t to get away from the director, but actually to get his goal completed faster so they can be together …
Wyatt gave a smug smirk thinking he hit a nerve “so tell me director, it has been three days, did you fix that leak issue? No potion master will feel safe legally if you haven’t. I’d hate for you to lose your job”
Harry looked indifferent at the older man who wouldn’t care if Harry was bleeding to death “the living glass in the front door registered Amy as the person who brought in a guest the day of the leak. That person turned out to be a reporter”
“very good, so you fired her then” Wyatt scoffed condescendingly.
“no, as I do with anyone I give them the benefit of the doubt. I asked her to give me a pensive memory proving where she was at the time of leak and she did so. She was helping a medical team provide treat to a potion master who had an accident in their lab. Don’t even bother asking for I can’t give out that private information” Harry said before Wyatt could try to get some information.
“I wouldn’t dream of prying” Wyatt said with a hint of irritation in his tone “so this means you’re leaving Decoction open to a lawsuit by not finding the culprit”
The director glanced at Wyatt “I may as well tell you now since I’ll be announcing it in a few minutes. Trent found me saying that he saw a ‘fake Amy’ with someone only an hour before the leak. He gave me a pensieve memory showing that someone who looked like Amy did enter the building at that time. Since the memory conflicts with Amy’s memory I concluded that a Poly Juice potion was used. I fixed the wards on the front door to include some breath tests. If someone tests positive for that potion now they will be detained and arrested for identity theft”
“that’s good to know” Wyatt said with a fake smile that was very close to becoming a snarl.
“yes, I won’t let that happen again. I must say I’m pleased that you were so concerned about the other potion masters who have put themselves at legal risk by proposing potions under such a security breach. After all you haven’t put yourself at risk for … decades if the reports are to be believed” Harry commented not caring that he just basically insulted the man by saying that he hasn’t had a good idea in a long time or that Wyatt snarled at him before storming out.

Narcissa stood next to Albus with a smile as she saw the dozens of healers, both UK and American, working together to help the patients filing into St. Mungo’s. Everyone worked in shifts so there was not only a constant stream of well rested healers, but also a chance to teach the healers from the UK the more up to date methods beyond the Bylines. For now treating all squibs is the main focus, but soon every facet of the medical field will be on par with magical America …
“this is working wonderfully” Narcissa said happily.
“yes it is and Draco is helping out too” Albus chuckled as he watched the young Malfoy play with some of the squib children who were waiting in the lobby for treatment. He even provided the potion toys, some crayons and other art supplies for the kids to enjoy … the very supplies Narcissa brought so her son wouldn’t get bored.
“I know, I couldn’t be more proud of him” Narcissa smiled proudly as her son played and laughed with the other kids whose parents looked just as sad as they were happy at the same sight. Many people must be wracked with guilt over how they treated their family members for what they now know is just a medical condition that needs treatment.
Albus smiled as he turned to check a row of cauldrons bubbling in the lab “we have a bit of time before the next batches of potions are ready … Adina told Gellert that Harry intends to stop by and see things personally”
“I’m volunteering with Draco everyday until the properties for the orphanage are fixed up and ready for children so tell me what day Harry comes. I can keep that witch out of his hair” Narcissa hissed.
“she still comes?” Albus sighed as he thought about the Lady Potter.
The Lady Malfoy clenched her teeth when she recalled the memories Lucius showed her “yes, she hasn’t spotted me yet since I’ve been in the lab, but I hear her. She has the nerve to say the nastiest comments to people. She is constantly putting other people down for how they treated squibs when she is by far the worst of any of them. James and Sirius stop by too. Yesterday they were all here and bragging about how they donated a large sum of money to the new ministry branch. You might want Gellert check into that and clip any strings that may be attached to that money”
“I will, thank you. I remember all to well what happens when Potters get a little power over others and I refuse to let it affect any more kids” Albus said with determination in his voice, but then a new healer came into St. Mungo’s “Peter? Peter Pettigrew is that you?”
The tall young man with mousy brown hair wearing a healer’s uniform stopped in his tracks and grinned as he saw the headmaster “Headmaster Dumbledore! It’s been too long!” Peter said as he came over.
“it has! My you have grown!” Albus exclaimed as he looked over the handsome young man who was once the pudgy little buy who became so sick years ago “it’s good to see that you recovered … did they ever figure out what happened? No one contacted me after you were sent to St. Mungo’s and then you were pulled out of school”
Peter frowned “yeah, everything went quickly … it turns out I was being drugged by someone … we don’t know who did it, but my mother pulled me out for my own safety. I was tutored and became an apprentice here during the war … umm headmaster, I know it was a long time ago, but … well, when I became sick did Remus try to contact me? It’s just he didn’t have an owl and I was curious” the healer remarked sheepishly.
“please call me Albus, you aren’t a student anymore. To answer your question he did, many times actually, but he made the mistake of trusting the wrong person with his letters” Narcissa smirked as she saw a little extra twinkle in the old wizard’s eyes “a lot has been going on with him and he has been distracting himself with a remodeling project for me. I will get him to stop by and see you. It will cheer him up” Albus said with a smile.
The healer’s eyes lit up “that would be great Albus! I look forward to seeing him again. I only just started this program today, but I will be here for the rest of it to learn as much as possible so I’ll be here at any time” Peter said cheerfully, but both Albus and Narcissa saw the healer’s eyes narrow at someone. They both turned and saw Lily, James and Sirius entering the hospital. Perhaps Peter knew or at least suspected the person behind his ‘sickness’ and was cautious around them “excuse me, I’m expected to start learning with Tracey. It’d be rude to keep her waiting” he said with much less cheer than before and walked away.
Narcissa resisted the urge to glare at the unwelcome newcomers and began checking the potions “everything’s ready Albus. Shall we start pouring?”
“yes, of course” Albus said hastily and went into the lab filled with cauldrons brewing potions. Most important being Dreamless Sleep and Calming potions for the type A and B squibs treatment plans.
“my, my, the Malfoy family must be having some trouble these days if you have to find work here” Lily said with her usual fake concern as she entered the lab with James and Sirius. You knew she was greatly enjoying the thought of other people going through hard times.
“nope” Narcissa commented absentmindedly as she filled several vials with potions “we’re doing better than ever and it’s because of that we’re giving back. I’m volunteering with brewing and even providing topnotch equipment and ingredients. There really is no better way to get involved. Why don’t you help? You were good at potions if I recall and it’d be better than standing around like an old disgusting pest waiting for someone to notice it” Narcissa said with her own dose of fake cheer.
Lily let a horrified look slip onto her features for a brief second before covering it up. Clearly the thought of hard work disturbed her “I’m afraid we don’t have time”
James nodded also not happy about the idea of pulling his own weight “we just stopped by to see the progress”
“yeah and it’s horrifying that so many kids were abandoned for no reason expect that they didn’t have what their parents wanted. It’s sick! What happened to wanting kids just have a child to love?” Sirius snapped angrily as he looked at the people in the waiting room. He had no clue that he just insulted his own friends though Albus and Narcissa enjoyed the Potters twitches “I bet your filthy snake family tortured those poor children who couldn’t help how they were born” he glared at Narcissa.
Narcissa sighed “I’m your cousin Sirius so you know what my family was like, but if you mean the Malfoys then you’re partly wrong. There were squibs in every family and the Malfoys were no exception to the removing the squib tradition, but they were more merciful than most and placed the children with muggle families. According to some of the accounts they made sure that they all went to loving homes even checked up on them to be sure. They didn’t like that squibs had no magic, but they knew they still carried their blood and deserved respect if only for that. They never hurt any squib or any child save for Lucius’s mother who loved hurting people, but that’s not important. Speaking of kids you should bring your kids to help. I’m sure all these healers would love to meet them” the Lady Malfoy said.
“what’s that supposed to mean?” Lily asked sounding nervous.
“I can hear you from in here. You always talk about them so I’m sure the staff would like to see them after all your bragging” Narcissa commented innocently making Albus smirk. Lily and James visibly relaxed and Sirius remained clueless to the tension.
“where is Remus?” Sirius demanded.
Albus chuckled “all I know is that he threw his ring in the fire and I assume that means he wants nothing to do with you”
When Sirius realized the old wizard wouldn’t give him anything he stormed out with the Potters not knowing that several surprises lay just around the corner ...
