Chapter 4

"I can assure you Minerva that I am who I appear to be," Salazar Slytherin said calmly, "Now then, will you let me finish the job?"

Minerva's grip tightened around Harry, "You're not going to kill him."

"Kill him?" Salazar said in surprise, "Why would I want to kill the boy I think of as a son for?"

"...son?" Minerva said slowly, "I thought that Severus was Harry's lover..."

"Lover?" Salazar said once again surprised, "Merlin woman where do you get these things from? I think you and I need to have a little talk before anything else happens... but first of all."

Before Minerva could blink an eye Salazar was now sitting on the floor with his back against the front of the sofa next to the fireplace allowing Harry to relax his tight muscles slightly.

"Now just a minute," Minerva began, ready to defend Harry, "I don't know how you did that or what you are to Harry but you will give me Harry back until I know you can be trusted and start explaining before I call the auroras."

Salazar just gave a roll of his eyes as he calmingly ran his hand through Harry's hair, "Sit down woman and I'll explain."

Minerva eyed Salazar with a critical eye before nodding and sitting down on the sofa.

"I never found my mate when I was alive, when I died the other founders made up the tale while I went into the portrait so I could go in and out of places easier to find my mate. Along time passed and I found my mate in your potion master, Severus Snape...ah, you really don't want to hear how we got together after everything we went through."

Minerva gave a light blush at Salazar's wording, "I can picture what might of happened, so you and Severus are mates and you used the tale and portrait to help you find your mate. That I understand but how does Harry fit into this?"

Salazar continued, "Well it all began when Severus was giving Harry one of his 'remedial potion' classes. It was an emotional class for both of them and Severus suddenly found the memories, thoughts, feelings and such that Harry had been hiding from us all."

Minerva's face darkened at the memory of how they had saved Harry from nearly being used as a human sex toy by Dursley and his mates. They had 'dealt' with the Dursley's and Harry had lived at Hogwarts through everyone kept a close eye on Harry.

"Severus being who he is took Harry in and they got to know each other and the bond between them developed and soon enough I was introduced," Salazar gave a wicked smirk, "It was fun messing with Severus when Harry and I talked in parseltongue, oh and the fun we had when Harry left."

"Yes, well what about this Michael person and this Ryan person?" Minerva said with a cough making Salazar smirk.

"Oh Michael and Ryan? They're Harry's mates, they was supposed to come on the day of the final battle to help fight besides Harry but they never turned up..." Salazar's playful smirk turned into an angry frown, "I'll set their manhood's on fire after what they've done to my little boy."

Minerva watched as Salazar rocked and coo'ed at Harry who seemed to be more awake and aware of what was going on around him, Minerva was certain of one thing as she had listened to Salazar and watched the two males on the floor.

"You will stay here and look after Harry, you will not go out of these rooms, if you need anything or anyone you will call for a House Elf," Minerva said as she stood up, "Does anyone know about you?"

"Yes, the Head of houses and other teachers, excluding the DADA professor, knows about me, we just thought you was too close to Dumbledore through you was trust worthy you know?" Salazar said with a raised eyebrow at the new Headmistress, "What's this all about then?"

"Very well then, I shall gather the staff and we shall look for Michael and Ryan, do you know what there last known location was? Their state of health? Anything?" Minerva asked with her own raised eyebrow n reply to Salazar's.

"First of all it might help for you to know what Michael and Ryan look like," Salazar said dryly, not commenting on the blush that formed on Minerva's face, "Michael and Ryan are both guards, soldiers so to say, so they have the well muscled build for it, Michael has blond hair and blue eyes where Ryan has blue hair and very dark blue eyes. Michael and Ryan when together will look like night and day. Due to them being magical creatures they have pointed ears but Ryan's pointed ears are pierced where Michael's are not, they have well tanned skin from being outside training all day. They have tattoos on their backs of wings; Michael's is white while Ryan's is black. I've been told that they just give off power and dominance vibes."

Minerva nodded her head as she took in all of the details into mind and tried to remember them all.

"Safety," Harry's voice came from within Salazar's hold, "Protection, love..."

Salazar gave Minerva a pointed look which he got a look of understanding in return.

"I'll be on my way then," Minerva said with a nod of her head.

"We'll be sure to follow your rules," Salazar said with a mock salute.

With a sigh Minerva turned and exited Severus' private rooms, just where was she going to find these two men? Here answer came in the form of a certain House Elf.

"Headmistress Professor McGonagall Madam, Dobby and other Elves find people in big crystals! They in Forbidden Forest!"

To Be Continued...

Next chapter will be about saving Michael and Ryan, as it's an action chapter it won't be very long as I can't write them very well.
