"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
Before getting on his broom with the cloak around him he gave the owl the letter and released it. Soon he was flying after the owl and right for Severus Snape …
XXXXXXXXXX
"People actually live here?" James cringed as the owl landed on the roof of a building in what he could only describe as a slum. The street made Knockturn Alley look like a happy, kid friendly playground in comparison.
The street was lined with old, creepy looking buildings that were not cared for and lacked any sign of life besides a few people curled up in the dark alley … though one person may not be breathing, so there's still very little life here. A few rats appeared as if to object before they scurried over to the motionless person. James cringed as he touched down on a suspiciously red stain on the ground. Even the owl looked concerned at something on the roof of the building it tried to land on before finding a spot on a wiry broken fence.
James held the broom close to him under the cloak, trying his best to stay unseen as he went toward the house the owl originally tried to land on and peeked through the filthy glass. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Severus, but it became clear the air was tense between the Slytherin and the two people James assumed were his parents. It was oddly dark and hard to see, but James watched carefully at what was visible.
The man was not looking at the stiff teen and the skinny woman as he fumbled with something. When the man turned, it was clear by the key he stashed into his pocket and the padlock on the pantry door that he just locked something away. Before James could consider what was going on, his heart froze in horror as the man looked at him with absolute rage and charged the window.
Stupidly forgetting that the cloak hid him from sight, he ducked and tried to run as the window was thrown open. The gryffindor just barely mounted his broom a kicked off before getting nailed by the bottle the furious man threw, but he realized, much to his relief, he wasn't actually spotted. The owl was the target of the man's rage. James watched the owl flutter away out of bottle throwing range while silently promising to spoil the owl after getting home.
"You little shit!" The scream brought James attention back to the house just in time to see the man whirl around and smash a bottle against Severus's head. James watched in stunned horror as the man kicked the downed Slytherin viciously. It took a few seconds to register what was happening, but once he did he landed and ran up to the house to help Severus.
Just by luck he narrowly avoided getting smashed in the face by the door and crashing into the man who stormed out of the house, apparently done with his tirade. For a moment James considered hexing the man, but his worry for Severus made him spare the asshole. He kept the cloak over him as he ran in trying not to make a sound …
"You had that coming." James stood there in a stunned silence at what he heard the woman say before she carelessly walked away, leaving a badly bleeding Severus on the floor.
In those few minutes James felt his world turn upside down. This wasn't what he expected. Granted he realized what some details from Lucius and Severus' conversation really meant, but even with those hints he never would've expected to find Severus like this. The pale teen was gushing blood from a deep gash on his head, clutching his stomach in pain despite being basically out cold and his nose was broken. It was heart wrenching to say the least and James knew exactly he had to do next. Without giving a fuck on whether or not he was spotted he carefully maneuvered Severus into his arms.
"He's so small." James muttered before running outside and stood near the rightfully pissed off owl who pecked him through the cloak. "Ouch! I know! I know! It was a stupid idea! I'll give you whatever you want at home, but first Severus needs help! Gem!"
A cute house elf in a blue dress appeared and didn't give the floating person a second thought knowing her master was probably under the invisibility cloak, "What happened?" She asked quickly assessing the bloody person's condition.
"I'll explain later! Just get us home!" He pleaded knowing he couldn't waste time flying Severus to his home with all the injuries he had. The Slytherin needed help and he needed it fast!
Gem snapped her fingers and the they all, owl included, disappeared with a pop with surprisingly no witnesses behind and appeared in a lovely manor right in front of James' parents.
"James what's going on?" Lady Potter gasped at the sight, while shoving her husband roughly to signal to him floo call a healer now. "Gem, get this young man to a guest room and show the healer up!" As the elf lead the healer, who flooed in a second after being called, up to the room James tried to follow, but was grabbed by his frantic mother. "Explain, James Potter! Who was that boy? Who hurt him? Are you hurt too? Where did you go minutes after coming home? … and take that cloak off!" She snapped, before grabbing the magical cloak so she could see her son instead of floating blood stains.
James winced at the looks of worry both his parents were giving him, "I'm fine, Mom. His name is Severus Snape. He's from Hogwarts too … I … I just went to apologize and I guess seeing Tula set this guy off-"
"Hold it … why were you there if you used Tula to send a letter to apologize and what did you have to apologize for?" James' mother asked, cutting him off.
Guilt swept through James and he sighed, "I was really mean to him and he didn't deserve any of it … I knew I had to apologize, but a letter didn't feel like enough so I used Tula to find out where he lived and say sorry in person-"
"James," His father suddenly said sternly, making James go silent, "I'm glad you're taking responsibility, but I must know ... where exactly did you go?"
The teen raised an eyebrow and thought a moment, "I wasn't really paying attention, but it was a creepy place."
Lady Potter, Euphemia, looked at her husband in concern, "What wrong, Fleamont?"
"It's just that Severus was wearing muggle garb … were muggles involved, James?" Fleamont asked his son seriously. After all, there could be legal actions here if anyone saw him ….
"I think we were somewhere in muggle world, but nobody saw me and even though that guy would've deserved it for hurting Severus, I didn't hex him." James said biting back his rage at the mere thought of that bastard.
Both parents looked a little relieved, but Fleamont wasn't done with the questions, "This is serious, James. Who was this guy? Where are Severus' parents?"
James scoffed, "I think the git was his father and the woman who just walked away and left Severus bleeding on the floor was his mother … maybe, I don't know for sure."
Fleamont seemed to ponder something, "Are they both muggles or just one?"
"I … I don't know … why?" James asked a bit confused as to why that mattered, though he admittedly was more focused on the stairs that lead up to the room where Severus was being treated.
Euphemia smiled a dangerously sweet smile, "We can't let him return to a place where he's being hurt." She said, feeling rather protective of the young wizard her son clearly cared for.
James blushed lightly at a very sudden thought of Severus possibly staying with him before shaking the thought away and trying to ignore it, "Oh … so where will he go?"
The lord of the Potter family frowned, "I'll ask Severus himself-"
"There's no need for that, Fleamont." The Potters turned their attention to the dark haired healer being guided down the stairs by the elf. "I'm relieved to say that … Severus, was it? … Severus will be alright, it's the fate of the people who hurt him I fear for after I tell his family."
"You know his family, Mathias?" Euphemia asked, rather surprised the private healer knew when she didn't, being that they traveled in the same social circles and knew each for a long time, even worked together a few years in St. Mungo's before Euphemia retired to have James.
Mathias sighed, "There are very few things I didn't consult with you on … and this was one of them." He glanced at James who took off up the stairs, before looking back to the parents, "I can't say too much without getting in touch with his grandparents, so if you don't mind I would like to burrow an owl."
Fleamont nodded and looked at Tula who looked annoyed and flew out of the room making it clear that she was done for today, "Errr … I'll get another owl." He said with a chuckle as he went up to the roost.
"How bad was Severus' condition?" Euphemia asked curiously with a flick of her wrist that summoned parchment, a quill and ink pot.
"His current condition wasn't too bad: two broken ribs, a broken wrist, a broken nose and large shards of glass in his head. Your son was smart to bring him here quickly." Mathias said as he wrote out a quick letter.
"That's not something I'd call 'wasn't too bad', Euphemia started with a frown.
"I said his current condition wasn't too bad … it's the past I'm worried about," Mathias remarked cryptically, but Euphemia seemed to understand.
XXXXXXXXXX
An old wizard looked up to see a black grouchy looking owl tapping at his window. With a groan, he stood up and went over to the window, though it opened on its own. The owl flew over to the old wizard's arm and practically shoved the letter into the man's short white beard.
"You're quite eager, aren't you? Very well." The old man commented, feeling concerned as to why the owl wanted to hurry.
It must be an urgent matter if the owl didn't even want to wait for a treat. The feathered puff even watched eagerly as he opened the letter. As the sharp black eyes skimmed the elegant scrawl. This owl even expected the man to nearly fall in shock and fluttered off to the a chair next to him and continued to wait calmly despite the man's screams.
"SEBASTIAN! Sebastian!" The old man screamed and a slightly younger, but sturdily built man, with a long braid came running into the room.
"What's wrong, Nicholas?!" Sebastian yelled urgently as he knelt next to the wizard who was now kneeling on the ground clutching the letter in tears. Nicholas was too choked up to say anything so Sebastian gently pulled the letter from his hands to see what made the smaller wizard so distraught. Soon tears came to his eyes as well …
"They … found h-him. They f-finally found our grandson, but w-where is Ellen?" Nicholas managed to say between sobs …
Sebastian wiped away a few tears, "Let's go and find out."
