(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
Ellen scoffed at the sight of the blood on the floor, but no Severus was in sight. She was just about to send her husband after the boy when she heard footsteps behind her. As she turned she sneered … there, after many years, stood her father ...

Severus groaned and tried to move, but this time he was gently pushed back down by the man he knew as Nicholas, "Where am I?"
"Prince manor. This can be your room if you want or you can pick any other one. Whatever you want. We can take you shopping too when you're ready or healed or, perhaps, after you eat. You can decorate however you want-... I'm sorry. I'm going too fast, aren't I?" Nicholas smiled noticing the look on Severus' face, which now revealed a bit of surprise making the old wizard chuckle. "Sebastian gives the same look when he gets overwhelmed. Let's start small. Do you have anything to ask me?"
"Heal? Wasn't I treated?" Severus asked still feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Oh right!" Nicholas picked up a tray on bed side table.
With only one glance Severus identified each of concoctions in the three clear containers, "Scar healing ointment, an advanced nutrition potion, dreamless sleep?" Severus said reflexively and blushed as Nicholas absolutely beamed for some reason.
"Do you like potions, Severus?" The young wizard nodded making Nicholas smile, "Sebastian will love to hear that! He has a potion lab and I know he'd love to brew with you!" Nicholas' smile faded as he set the tray aside. "The Healer, Mathias, from earlier made it clear he did scans on you and those scans, which he gave us before I took you here, revealed several issues. All can be fixed, but it will take time. Malnutrition, sleep deprivation, scars and bone corrections are fairly minor and you will be treated for all except for the bones-"
"Why not? I can make a re-brake potion easily." Severus argued still feeling overwhelmed and, as of now, rather confused. These old wizards just convinced him that they cared, but they want to deny him a treatment? It wasn't right and Severus instantly became suspicious.
"The availability of the potion isn't the issue, Severus. The fact is it will be incredibly painful and very dangerous to do so. You have too many past broken bones that need correcting, not that it can't be done with one dose, but it shouldn't be. This summer will be spent healing and improving your health. Next year can be spent fixing your bones and no, it won't involve a potion. We'll have to go to St. Mungo's and go through a series of spells to reset each break one at a time. It's slower, but it's much safer, ok?" Nicholas asked wanting to make sure Severus understood that he wasn't being denied anything and that they cared.
Severus' cheeks flushed, he felt a little foolish for assuming the worst, "I understand … umm. What do I call you and Sebastian?"
Nicholas smiled at the question, "I know Sebastian would love it if you called him Grandfather. As for me I'd like it if you called me Grandpa … well, I suppose you could call me Grandma too." Nicholas laughed good naturedly making Severus blush lightly at what the little joke implied.
Severus felt a little more at ease, but something still bothered him, "What will happen to my mother?" He asked almost too quietly to be heard.
The elderly wizard had a heartbroken look in his eyes, "Sebastian is a very forgiving man. He wouldn't have cared if your mother became pregnant. She would probably still be the heir or even the Lady of the family by now if she didn't hide it or treat you like a chess piece. However, Ellen went too far-"
"My mother changed her name to Eileen … she told me it was too much of a painful reminder." Severus said softly trying not to upset the old wizard, but it seemed Nicholas was hurt by the information.
"I see … Severus, what do you know of pureblood customs?" Nicholas asked wondering if his grandson understand the significance of what was just revealed.
Severus frowned, "I have a friend from a pureblood family so I know changing your given name is a deep insult … I just never thought be art of those family politics." He admitted and felt his heart squeeze as his Grandpa gave him a heart warming smile that made him feel safe for once in his life.
"You are right. As for your mother … I know changing her name will only serve to make things worse. Your Grandfather can be ruthless when his loved ones are threatened and with what we discovered today I can guarantee nothing will stop him from ensuring your safety." Nicholas said leaving the answer rather vague, but there was no need to say much more. Severus got the point and settled for changing the subject by taking the nutrition potion off the tray. Nicholas happily helped apply the scar removal ointment on every scar Severus couldn't reach and tucked his grandson in to enjoy a peaceful dreamless sleep …

Sebastian looked at the daughter he thought was lost for years, "Ellen-"
"It's Eileen, dear father." The witch said with a sneer.
The old wizard didn't show his hurt as he stared her down, "I have Severus-"
"You have no right to take my son after all these years! Where is he?!" She snapped.
"You can't possibly think that's going to happen! I saw his wounds and scars! I love you, Ellen, but I will see you in Azkaban before you lay one finger on him again!" Sebastian spotted a subtle shift in his daughter's gaze and whirled around find the muggle James described pointing a gun at him. Old he may be, but he was far from slow. It took barely a second and almost no motion to magically stick the muggle to the wall. The gun simply hit the floor uselessly and Sebastian turned back to his now annoyed daughter, "Attempting to kill me? I'll add that to the abuse charges-"
"You can't charge me with anything. Tobias was the one who did all that." Eileen said uncaringly. She scowled as her father looked at her muggle husband for several seconds before looking back at her with even more coldness than before.
Sebastian glared, "You think you planned it all so nicely. You conned a healer out of things you needed to hide. You married a weak muggle who'd be happy to hurt someone as instructed-"
"You read his mind! That's illegal!" She shrieked indignantly, but with a slight victorious smirk. Before she could say more she was stunned by her father's powerful magic that flared in his fury. She never noticed two goblins enter the house behind her.
"Don't you dare play this political game with me!" Sebastian roared, "You lost the second you made a contract with this barbarian promising him a cut of Severus' inheritance when he was killed at 17!"
Eileen scoffed, "I made no such contract-"
"Marriage is a contract, Ellen. According to his memories you made the deal and sealed it with marriage, therefore, it's a contract where you are just as responsible as him." Sebastian said gesturing sharply to the muggle magically glued to the wall and frowned as Eileen seemed to fume at what she heard. In fact, she was so mad she sent her magic into the gun making it fire at Sebastian …

"James, we still should talk about you're pranking." Euphemia pointed out trying to get her son's attention away from the floo, "James, Severus will be fine."
James finally looked away from the fireplace that he's been staring at since Severus was taken away by Nicholas, "Are you sure? He was unconscious and being carried away."
Fleamont chuckled, "He's been through a lot. Perhaps too much for one day. Let his grandparents take care of him and worry about yourself right now."
"I'm going to be punished, right?" James winced when his parent nodded.
Euphemia nodded sharply, "For the entire summer you will be punished. No Hogsmeade, no flying or Quidditch and-"
"Please don't say no contact with Severus! I want to make sure he's ok! I'll only write letters this time, I promise!" James pleaded surprising both his parents who, of course, thought he'd put up a fight for the other punishments.
"I wasn't going to say anything like that." Euphemia chuckled at her son's relieved smile before becoming serious, "I want you to write a letter to Minerva McGonagall telling her everything and if Sirius, Peter and Remus you should tell them to do the same. Also, don't let Dumbledore ever handle your punishments alone. You may notice that he can be rather biased toward your house."
James clenched his teeth, "About Peter … he won't be around anymore." Of course, he explained, but he was surprised to see how relieved his parents were.
"That is what you must do. Always get other teachers involved first." Fleamont said.
James looked dumbfounded, "Sure, but you don't actually think the headmaster would let Peter stay after that, right?"
Euphemia sighed, "James … take it from someone who wasn't in Gryffindor. Never underestimate Dumbledore's double standard." She said serious leaving James baffled. Was it that obvious? His mother was a Ravenclaw, not even a Slytherin, but she was so sure. Were Gryffindors that heavily favored?

Nicholas was in the potion lab getting another nutrition potion ready and pondering what Severus might want for dinner when he heard Sebastian return. The wizard took a calming breath before leaving to find out the fate of daughter. The sight that met his eyes made him gasp in horror …
"Sebastian! Why are you bleeding?!" Nicholas yelped while running over to his husband to investigate the bloody fabric of the wizards shirt near the shoulder.
Sebastian set a trunk down on the floor with a tired smile, "Calm down. Ellen shot me-" He saw all the color drain from Nicholas' face and pulled the man into a firm hug to prevent further panic,"I'm fine. The goblins healed me. I just left before they could fix my shirt … now, I got Severus' things-"
"Wait, slow down. The goblins were already involved?" Nicholas asked trying to wrap his head around what happened.
"I got our goblins before I even went to confront our daughter and the muggle. I figured it'd be best to have witnesses and I was right. They stepped in after the gun was fired … the goblins took her into custody and being that the main motive was line theft they're handling everything even her sentencing." Sebastian felt his husband sobbing against him. It was bittersweet, but there was an innocent party who needed their care and that took priority over their daughter's fate. "How is Severus?"
Nicholas sniffled and pulled away wiping his eyes free of tears, "He took his first round of treatments and he let me heal his scars-" Nicholas dropped his sentence when he noticed the ragged school trunk. "Is this everything?"
"Besides this …" Sebastian pulled a shrunken potions bag out of his to show his love. "There wasn't much else. Other than his school things there were some clothes, but … they were not worth bringing. We should discuss the situation with Hogwarts. It seems Dumbledore also had a stake in this scheme as well."
The grandparents put the heartache caused by their daughter aside and focused solely on their grandson who needed so much love, caring and protection...
