"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
Euphemia could see the subtle shaking from a potential torture curse and knew something was wrong. She decided it'd be best to keep both these boys busy so she and Fleamont could look into it, “I love that idea! Can you ask her to find one for James too?”
XXXXXXXXXX
Remus blinked and rubbed his eyes before looking back at the letter in his hands, “Dammit James!” He groaned in exasperation as he read the letter his friend sent him just moments ago.
Apparently, despite all his warnings, James did a lot more than just send a letter. Of course, Remus couldn’t bring himself to actually be mad since it turned out to be a very good thing. Severus could’ve died without James being there to intervene, but James still jumped the gun and now they all had to deal with the consequences from all the years of bullying. After all, James seemed quite serious about contacting Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn confessing everything.
“Ok … I’ll do that first.” Remus sighed as he pushed his summer homework aside and started writing a very detailed and respectful set of letters. By the time he finished it was already late. After quickly sending the letters he went to bed without a single word to his father who was in a bad mood. Only in the morning did he dare to speak to his father. “Father … I’m going to go to-“
“Go. Just don’t forget when the moon is full. Don’t need you doing more damage than these Death Eaters.” The scraggly man said sharply as he continued looking at the Daily Prophet.
“Yeah …” Remus flinched at the uncaring order and quickly floo called James’ parents.
As the kind faces of Euphemia and Fleamont appeared in the embers, “Remus dear! How are you? I take it you got James’ letter.” Euphemia asked as nicely as ever.
“Yes, Lady Potter. Is it alright if I come over?” Remus asked feeling hurt by the harsh grumble he heard from his father behind him.
“Of course!” Euphemia’ s face disappeared from the embers giving Remus the cue to grab some floo powder and floo over. “James and Sirius are in James’ room. I’m sure they can explain everything so go catch up.” Euphemia said with a smile.
“Thank you. Hello, Lord Potter.” Remus said politely as he passed Fleamont who was coming down the stairs as he went up to James’ room.
“Good to see you, Remus! Keep those two in line please!” The Potter lord joked, but turned serious the second he heard the door to James’ room close. “We got a notice from Gringotts. We are to testify on what happened with Severus tomorrow afternoon. James doesn’t need to come because of his being underage, but they want memories.” He said as he showed her the Gringotts letter.
Euphemia nodded and pulled out a vial filled with silvery wisps, “I figured as much so I had James give me a copy of everything from that day. When we go we need to bring up Sirius-“
“I know what you want, but it might not be that easy to accuse the Black family of anything. Technically, Lady Black has every right to disown Sirius and even take his trust. Sirius could be accused by her especially now that the news of their pranking is out. That would only make Sirius look like a potentially dangerous delinquent and that curses were called for.” Fleamont warned.
“I refuse to let her get away with this.” Euphemia said sharply.
“I know. Let’s first see how Severus’ case is handled before we try anything. Whatever happens with Dumbledore may give us the leeway we need. After all, if Dumbledore can be proven to be apart of a conspiracy involving abuse then Lady Black won’t be able to stop us from entering a pensieve on Sirius’ behalf.” Fleamont said with a smirk.
“Brilliant!” Euphemia exclaimed and kissed her husband.
XXXXXXXXXX
Remus didn’t even bother knocking on the door before going into James’ room, “Ok you two, we need to- what the hell? Knock it off!” He snapped and leapt forward to pull James off Sirius before they hurt each other in their struggle. “What are you two doing?” Remus exclaimed while putting himself between the two so James couldn’t jump back on Sirius who only seemed to lay on the bed breathless.
“Remmy, it’s not what-“Sirius said before starting to slide off the bed. “Crap!”
“I got you, mate!” James, with a worried Remus, grabbed Sirius before he hit the floor and maneuvered him onto the bed.
“Thanks.” Sirius whimpered slightly in pain.
Remus, having finally noticed how limp Sirius looked, frowned in worry, “I thought … what’s going on? What happened to you, Sirius?”
“His mother and cousin tortured him.” James said before Sirius could get even one word out and he ignored the glare the limp teen shot him.
“What?! I know your mother was cruel, but why would your cousins be involved? Was it Bellatrix or Narcissa?” Remus asked unknowingly letting out a protective, though slightly animalistic, growl.
Sirius huffed and shot James another glare for worrying Remus before giving the werewolf a smile, “Don’t worry, Remmy. I’m ok, just having some muscle spasms. It happens after a curse if you don’t sleep--“
“What happened?” Remus asked firmly. His eyes narrowed when Sirius looked nervous as James looked irritated despite helping earlier. “Explain now. Starting with you.” He shot James a stern look.
James blinked in confusion, “What’d I do? We weren’t fighting, Remmy. Though, I have every right to be bloody pissed at him for telling his cousins about us spying on Severus and the Malfoy-“
“That was your fault!” Sirius barked from his spot on the bed. “You’re the idiot who put way too much detail in a letter-“
The Potter huffed, “Why was your cousin in the same room when you were-“
“Shut up!” A frustrated Remus snapped and both of them fell silent. “First, I know it turned out for the best, but why did you follow an owl to Severus?” He asked James.
James shifted with a nervous chuckle, “Well … I wanted to … I just … it worked out so why does it matter. Severus is safe now and that’s what counts! If I listened to you and didn’t follow who knows what could have happened!”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Remus sighed before looking at Sirius, “and you?”
Sirius snorted as he slowly tried to sit up, “My mother officially disowned me and she had to get a curse in as a parting gift. As for my cousins …” Sirius winced as he saw James glare at him. “My mother’s curse made me collapse on my brother’s bed when I was talking to them and YOUR,” he glared right back at James, “stubborn owl flew right through that window right when my cousins were there! At first Narcissa read it to be nice since I couldn’t move, but then they tortured me for more details! Why did you mention the whole eavesdropping in that letter anyway? I didn’t need a recap if I was there!” Sirius snapped before groaning in pain and flopping over on his side. “I better still be capable of having kids after that.” He whimpered as he curled up into a ball.
Remus winced and sat next to his friend to rub his back gently, “How bad was it?”
“Bellatrix likes lightning hexes …” Sirius grumbled before looking at James. “I wasn’t able to write my letters to Professor McGonagall yet.” He admitted and this was probably the first time he had an excuse that wasn’t just slacking off.
“Right … I have a charmed quill that can dictate for you … somewhere,” James frowned and began searching his messy room and desk for the quill he wanted. “Bloody hell. Why did Gem need to unpack everything? She made a mess.” He muttered.
Remus stifled a laugh as a small avalanche of homework fell to the floor, “Gem had it perfectly neat. You’re the one making a mess.” He said before turning back to Sirius. “Where are you going to stay?”
“James’ parents are letting me stay here … and Bellatrix agreed to help me get a job.” Sirius mumbled, more than a little terrified of what his cousin has planned.
Remus blinked curiously, “So you’ll be working over the summer? Do you know where yet?”
“We will be working somewhere in Knockturn Alley.” James muttered with an irritated tone as he dragged out a quill and ink pot from deep in a drawer.
“We?” Remus raised an eyebrow and glanced at James. “You’re both getting jobs?”
James handed over some parchment with a huff, “My parents liked the idea when he brought it up so now I have to.“
The werewolf couldn’t help but chuckle at the sulking Potter, “It will give you something to do, right? After all, I doubt your parents are letting you get away with much this summer.”
James shrugged as the quill started scribbling what Sirius was thinking all on its own, “They’re letting me stay in touch with Severus so that’s something.”
“Umm James, I know you saved him and all, but I don’t think he’ll be happy with you about the whole eavesdropping thing. No doubt Lucius will be pissed.“ Remus pointed out.
“How would he know?!” James yelped in panic.
Remus blinked, “I’m pretty sure Bellatrix and Narcissa aren’t going to just keep quiet about this especially since Severus and Lucius seem to be friends of theirs.”
“Oh crap …” James groaned as he leaned back to sit slightly on the arm of his desk chair.
Gem popped into the room holding a letter, “A letter arrived for Sirius.” She said gave an annoyed look when she saw the mess of papers all over the desk and floor.
“Just put it on the desk-“ The elf snapped her fingers resulting in all the papers, including the ones under James’ feet, to fly up and make a nice pile on the desk. James yelped and fell off of the chair arm when the papers were yanked out because he wasn’t sitting all the way in the chair. A pop was heard before James could even consider getting up and he knew the house elf was long gone. “Bloody elf.”
Remus just shook his in amusement and went to get the letter neatly placed on top of the pile since both his friends were indisposed. He opened it and skimmed the contents. “This woman says she knows Bellatrix and mentioned a job.”
Sirius signaled for his quill to stop writing for him and looked over curiously, “That was fast! Bellatrix only said she’d help last night. I didn’t even get a chance to message about James getting a job too.” He muttered trying to ignore the grin on James’ face. No doubt James was hoping that he was not going to be forced to take a job.
“According to this,” said the werewolf as he looked through the letter thoroughly. “Mrs. Crock has a few openings because she takes a lot of part-timers during the summer so sorry James. It looks like you’re not off the hook.”
“Damn. My mother made me give her a memory so I know Severus will have a trial at some point. Maybe soon. I was hoping to help.” James said with a sigh, knowing if he’s going to be forced to work he won’t be able to be there comforting Severus. “What’s the job?”
“Ummm well it’s really early in the morning for one thing. No wonder this letter got here so fast,” the werewolf commented absentmindedly as he skimmed the letter. Something clearly struck him as hilarious for he started laughing.
James frowned in concern feeling a twinge of panic set in, “Remus … what’s so funny? What’s the job?”
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus felt something shift next to him and his eyes snapped open, “I’m sorry, I didn’t-“
“It’s fine.” Sebastian chuckled. His grandson had started dozing off while they were talking and fell asleep on his shoulder. The Prince Lord regretted adjusting his shoulder at all and waking the easily startled teen, but it was too late. “The nutrition potions are kicking in. Your body needs to adjust and sleep is needed so let’s get you to bed, ok?”
Severus wanted to argue, but he just felt too tired, “Ok.”
Nicholas smiled as he guided the sleepy teen up the stairs, “It’s time for you next round of anyway.” He said softly.
As he took Severus to his room Sebastian went to get a set of the prescribed potions ready. By the time the grandfather returned with the potions he found that Severus was tucked into bed and practically asleep. It almost seemed silly to give the teen the prescribed dreamless sleep too, but that’s what they were told to do. With a little help from his grandfathers Severus was given the potions and once again drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Early the next morning the two elderly wizards went to check on their grandson. After seeing that Severus was still fast asleep they both went to the owlery. There they found a couple letters from Gringotts waiting for them.
“Two? I expected only one letter mentioning the trial date.” Nicholas said sounding a little choked up at the end. It hurt thinking of what might happen to his daughter, but he collected himself.
Sebastian looked at the two stamps marking the second letter, “Two crests? This has a Gringotts seal so it must have been given to them directly for delivery, but what would the Malfoy family want with us?”
“Could they know we found our grandson?” Nicholas pondered feeling even more protective of Severus. “If they want to force a marriage it’s not happening. I’ll see them dead first.”
“Calm down, love. They wouldn’t risk trying something like that against our family and besides, it’s addressed to the guardians of Severus Snape. This person doesn’t know who we are, but wanted to talk to us directly instead of sending an owl…” Sebastian said calmly despite instinctively feeling the same worry. He opened the letter and carefully read it.
Nicholas pondered what little they spoke about with Severus the day before before their grandson fell asleep, “Malfoy … Severus said his friend’s name was Lucius … wasn’t the Malfoy heir named Lucius?”
“Yes, Severus mentioned Lucius was a bit protective too … in fact, the boy wants to meet us. He doesn’t say it, but I think he wants to be sure we’re good for Severus.” Sebastian chuckled clearly very amused at the wording in the letter.
“Let’s invite him over today! Having a friend over when he wakes up might take Severus’ mind off the trial.” Nicholas said worried about his grandson as his husband quickly wrote and sent a letter with their floo password.
An hour or so later a young wizard with the classic blonde Malfoy air stepped through the floo, “Hello. I’m Luciu-” Lucius was never able to finish the greeting. He saw the elderly wizards’ eyes narrow and he hit the floor unable to move ...
