Chapter 1
There was a gentle knocking at the front door, Severus stood casually and cleared the several strides to the door. Molly Came out of the kitchen heading for the door but stopped when she saw Severus reaching for the knob. Severus pulled open the door and was flooded with happiness, she was back! Without a second thought Severus grabbed the young girl and pressed her roughly against the doorframe, his lips descending on hers hungrily. The order watched on as her lips met his, matching his hunger and intensity. The room fell silent, know what knew what to say, or do. The kiss became heated their tongues now engaged in a fierce duel to the death. The young girl opened her eyes and shifted her glance to the room. Every order member had stopped what they were doing and was staring at them. Severus noticing her sudden lack of enthusiasm opened his eyes and followed her glace across the room to the staring mass. He broke away quickly but smirked, unable to wipe it from his face. The room was bathed in a dead silence, if someone had yelled a mile away you would have heard it. Lupin was the first to speak.
“A student Severus? Really? Have you gone bonkers?”
“There’s much more to it than that, she—“ Severus began
“Saved all your asses” Interrupted Harry
“She was bloody brilliant too!” added Ron
Severus’ eyes shifted to Minerva who was sitting quietly in a chair in the corner of the room looking on with concern. Kingsley was next to speak.
“Miss Celestia Leigh I presume? Do you realize that the ministry has been looking for you?”
“I am well aware Minister, I had things to deal with, I will answer any questions you have tonight sir, just please be patient with me, I am still terribly weak and have not been well”
“What are you?” Kingsley asked seriously
“Right to the point I see, I am a mage, I’ve known since I was little”
“A what?” asked Harry, feeling again like he knew little about the wizarding world.
“A mage, I’m like you Harry, only stronger. My magic does not require a wand, but I learned to channel it through one regardless to blend in better” Celestia explained calmly
Severus moved across the room and settling down into a chair between Minerva and Tonks, who had until now remained silent.
“And Severus knew?” she asked calmly
“I had no Idea until several weeks before the war, Miss Leigh kept making attempts to speak to me and I ignored them.” Severus drawled
“I could hear his thoughts, I knew exactly where his loyalties lied, I wanted to help but it was next to impossible to get near him. A few months before the war I made a move, I knew I could help if he would just listen to me. I took on the Carrows in the hall, they had been picking on a first year and I saw it as an opportunity. Sev—Professor Snape always intervened when it got to be too much so I knew he was already on his way. I attacked them and allowed myself to sustain injury that would require assistance, Professor Snape always deals with his own students rather than sending them to Madame Pomphrey if it can be dealt with that way. He showed up right on cue and took me up to the headmaster’s office to attend my wounds. It’s the first chance I had to talk to him alone so the moment the door closed I took the opportunity. I told him I knew what was coming and that I wanted to help him defeat Voldemort. He healed me and tried to send me back to my dorms. I told him I could hear his thoughts, that I wasn’t stupid and naïve like he was thinking, that I knew his true alliance was with you and even though no one trusted him that I did. That I knew he killed Dumbledore on Dumbledore’s orders and that he needed to make sure Harry got the message that he must die when Voldemort was at his weakest. He didn’t know what to say, I assured him no one could get into my head and he could trust me. He kept me within arm’s reach after knowing I knew everything and I made it my goal to make him trust me. It took a few months for him to talk to me.”
My eyes shifted to Severus, unsure of how much I should tell them about us. Severus nods at me.
“Go ahead” he urges calmly
“Towards the war it was all getting to be too much for him and I could see it, he needed a few moments to focus on something else. So I made him an offer to be his distraction. From that point on, we were as the muggles say, ‘friends with benefits’ though I knew it was becoming more deeply rooted for me. The more he let me in the more I needed to be close to him.”
“Clearly it is more than that for both of you now, judging by that display” chimed Arthur pointing at the now closed door”
“Until today, I must confess, I didn’t know where he stood with me at all. His mind was such a mess leading up to the war that nothing was clear. Though I had an inkling.”
“And the war?” asked Kingsley
“I was behind Harry when he went into the Shrieking shack, I was behind him when he was listening to Professor Snape and Voldemort. I like Harry watched the attack from the snake, but harry needed to be there first, I got into Harrys head, giving him the urge to go see Professor Snape, so that he could relay what needed to be relayed. Otherwise Harry would have never tried. Once Harry had the memories and left for the castle I went to Severus, he had only been dead a few minutes but the damage was bad. I have remarkable magic, but nothing like what overcame me that night. Something just told me I could still save him, could revive him. And so I did, I can’t explain how, but I did it, and pushed myself to focus harder and harder to revive him and in turn revived the lot of you without being seen. I needed to stay with “Professor Snape, his wounds were making it difficult to keep him alive. I almost gave up, but then his eyes caught mine and I knew I needed to keep going. I apparated us to his bedchambers and placed enchantments to keep us hidden and safe. I spent the next several hours trying to get him to stabilize, I’m not a medic and he needed more than I could give him. I apparated him back to the shrieking shack and waited with him until you all came to find him and then I left. That’s all there is to tell, this is the first I have seen him since the war, I wasn’t even sure if he had pulled through.”
“Revival has never before been heard of, you have no Idea how this was accomplished?” he continued to drill
“No, I’m sorry. I think my emotions at that moment took over. Seeing Professor Snape like that, having watched him die, made my head spin. I couldn’t be---, well that’s not important. He didn’t deserve to die, that’s what matters” I finish, my eyes meeting Severus’. There was a brief flood of emotion in his eyes that was gone as quick as it came.
“Very interesting, I guess we can all be thankful for that. I don’t have any further questions” concluded Kingsley
“I do, what I am to do of this relation between her and Severus should she return for her seventh year given that he has already requested to resume his teaching post at Hogwarts?”
“That really depends on the nature of this relationship---“ Kinsley started
“I won’t be returning, it has been offered that it is unnecessary given the previous circumstances. I am choosing not to return sir”
“No you most certainly are not” growled Snape
I looked up eyeing him warningly. Almost pleading for him not to push this matter
“You are a most brilliant young lady who would benefit greatly from that last year of schooling, I at this point would agree with Severus, I am denying your request to withdraw” Explained Minerva calmly “but there needs to be distance between the two of you. It is not my business what has occurred between the two of you as the young miss is of legal consenting age, but I must warn that it will not be tolerated within the school. What you do outside the school is your own business, but if there is any word of this inside my school I will be forced to take action” Minerva finished seriously.
“You don’t understand—“ I plead
“This matter is closed for discussion” Minerva Finishes
“My dear” molly starts in her concerned motherly tone “where is it you are staying? Where are your parents?”
“I don’t have any” I answer quietly “I was dropped off at a muggle orphanage as a baby, I ran away when I was eight, they all thought I was a freak. I couldn’t live like that”
“Where have you been living between school years Miss Leigh?” asked Lupin, suddenly full of concern
“On the streets, in the pubs” I say barely audible, staring numbly down at my feet
“Well there will be no more of that now dearie, you can stay here with us. Anyone who saves a Weasley is welcome here. Stay as long as you need to, right Arthur?” chimed Molly
“Of course dear” responded Arthur “the more the merrier
