"So he's been here the entire time?"
They were in Dumbledore's office.
Minerva nodded. "Yup. He's my Sevvy. That's why the watch said he was safe."
Dumbledore leaned back in his chair. "How?"
"You-Know-Who is probably it. He must have been discovered."
"But why a child?"
Minerva glared. "You know very well why."
She stood and left.
Sevvy sat in his Mummy's lap with his Bear tucked under one arm and wrapped in his blanket.
His mummy was having a grown-up-talk with some of the other grown-ups.
He was tired, and was slowly drifting off to sleep. He didn't like that. He was trying to stay awake to see if anything interesting would happen. His mummy was helping the sleep. She was rocking while she talked, and she was as comfortable and soothing and warm as always.
Sleep had an unfair advantage, and he told his Bear so.
He liked his bear. It was plushy, and fat, and its left ear was perfect for gnawing.
"I don't get it. Why five? And why send him here?"
"I don't believe You-Know-Who meant for him to come here. He gave him to one of the Death Eaters, and that one brought him here."
"Why?"
"I don't know Albus. That's what I keep telling you."
Sevvy was asleep, in the midst of telling his bear something.
Minerva chuckled. "He looks so cute. And his nose wasn't broken till his second day of First Year, so it's relatively straight. Hopefully, history won't repeat itself."
"Minerva…"
"Albus, I've answered all of your questions twice! If you can't come up with something original, stop asking them!"
Sevvy was having a bad dream.
In his dream, the Dark Man had come back, and was hurting his Mummy, and ripping Bear to pieces, and burning his blanket.
Then, the Dark Man came towards him.
Sevvy screamed.
The Dark Man wrapped his long scaly fingers around his neck and began to squeeze…
His Mummy shook him awake.
He clung to her, sobbing.
There was his Bear, and his blanket was wrapped around him.
And his Mummy was hugging him.
She looked the same as she had when he'd gone to sleep.
"Oh sweetheart…you had a bad dream didn't you?"
Sevvy nodded.
She hugged him. "Well baby, whatever you dreamt wasn't true. So don't you worry. You are safe here with me, and I won't let anything change that, okay?"
Sevvy nodded and snuggled closer to her, burying his face in her chest.
Minerva glared at Dumbledore the moment he opened his mouth, knowing that the man was going to say something stupid.
The man shook his head and sat back in his chair, deciding to wait them out.
"Come on Sevvy. Let's get you in bed. Say goodnight to Albus."
"NutOobus."
Sevvy sniffed and wrapped his arms around his Mummy's neck.
Nodding to Dumbledore, she carried him from the room.
not that long, i know. and in an attempt to make up for it, i include a preview.
it is for a story called Harry Potter-King of the Netherworld?! :
The sun shone brightly, illuminating the courtyard.
On a stone bench, a woman with red hair and green almond shaped eyes held a gold stone.
On her head was an ornate silver corn, wrought with red gems.
She held the stone to the sky.
"Father Sun, I have a request."
The sun's rays focused on the stone, casting the rest of the courtyard into shadow.
"My son, my prince, heir to his father's throne, is in need of a mate. I am no seer. I do not know who is right to mate with him.
I am not fit to choose the one who will bear him sons. I know only that his mate must be strong in both mind and body, that they must have a humour to brighten his dark days, and a seriousness to ground him when he does not focus on the important things.
"I know you can help me, Father Sun, and I ask that you show me the face of his mate, that I might prepare them for each other."
The stone glowed warm, and lifted from her hands to spin in the light.
A face formed on it's surface.
At first it was featureless. Then a human's peculiarities formed.
Black eyes, deep as wells, haunted eyes.
Thin lips of a pale pinkish colour.
Then a nose. One moment is was small, then rather large and shaped in an odd way that made it hard to breath through, reminiscent of an improper healing.
She frowned. "I know him. He was in the same year as I when I visited earth for human's wizard schooling. His name was Severus. But...I remember his hair shorter and greasier."
An image of a spell being cast, and the hair changed in length and quality, beginning to look quite ragged.
"A glamour."
She sighed. "Thank you Father Sun. But what shall we do? Soon, my son will be born in the human world, in my human form. Severus is a spy, and a shy and somewhat insecure person. How shall this work?"
The sun did not show her.
The stone returned to her hands, and the glow slowly receded.
She sighed once more and stood.
"Thank you Father Sun. I'll try."
And Lilly of Amorath, Queen of the Netherworld and a Potter in her human form, left the courtyard.
tell me if you like it.
NOTE TO ALL WHO READ Rehabilitaion :
