Claimed
Chapter 10
"How is he?" asked Andrea coming into Severus' room, good job she knew him so well or she would have been harshly spelled from the room, stinging hex is one of many he would usually use.
"Is is getting better," smiled Severus.
"How is he? Mentally?" asked Poppy quietly.
"Better than before, he remembers, he was indeed the one whom defeated Voldemort" said Severus.
"Hm…Good, it would have killed him if he wasn't the one" said Poppy satisfied.
"But however, there are people I want dealt with" smirked Severus, a painful smirk that held a promise of much pain and torture.
"Who first?" asked Andrea looking like a tiger ready to pounce.
"Ginny Weasley" snarled Severus. No one would have his lover's heir he wouldn't allow it not a disgusting bitch like that.
"Um…Why her?" asked Poppy blinking shocked, Ginny had never been brought up before.
"She wanted to have Harry's children, so she could get his money and its something I'm not allowing. She will have a slow painful end and shall regret ever messing with my chide" snarled Severus.
Harry stirred and whimpered slightly.
Severus immediately calmed down, soothing his mate who could obviously hear his anger or could feel it. As soon as Severus touched Harry he calmed down, practically melting onto the bed. Harry was like that when he was unconscious, he seemed to melt into any sort of touch. However, when he was awake he was mostly always too tense too relax into anyone's arms. Something Severus knew would change in time, he just couldn't wait for his mate to actually open up and be relaxed in his new home.
"How will we get to her?" questioned Andrea, thinking she would be protected quite heavily after all she was having Harry Potter's child. The Order would want to keep an eye on her at all times.
"That wont be a problem for me," smirked Poppy.
"Of course Dumbledore trusts you," said Andrea, "But will he after you just leaving unexplained?"
"I have done that many times before and for a lot longer, when someone's in pain I don't waste time in contacting people I leave right away. However, I usually do get in touch as soon as possible," said Poppy.
"Then do so right now, you shall remain trusted and aware of the going on's in Hogwarts" said Severus.
"You want me to spy?" asked Poppy wide eyed.
"They would never suspect you, its brilliant" smirked Andrea, healers were usually neutral in the war.
"Fine," sighed Poppy, they deserved whatever life threw at them for what they had done to Harry. Poppy really did love Harry like a son, she had gotten far too attached. It was not like her because she knew not to get attached but she had been unable to stop herself.
"Floo him now," said Andrea gesturing to the floo powder.
"He will know!" protested Poppy at once.
"It's untraceable" said Severus, he had made sure of that.
"I see, very well then," she said gathering some floo powder in her hand she threw it in and shouted "Hogwarts Headmaster's office".
"Ah, Poppy," said Dumbledore, Poppy saw the suspicion on his face.
"Albus! My granddaughter took ill! She was in very bad shape! I had to spend three days alone just making sure she was ok," choked Poppy, "However, she's on the mend and I am so sorry I didn't get in touch, I will be back in a couple of weeks, if there is still a place for me," said Poppy sounding relieved that her granddaughter was ok and hopeful that Dumbledore wouldn't replace her.
"Of course your job is here for you!" said Dumbledore joyfully, eyes twinkling he would have his Medi witch back in a while.
"As soon as my granddaughter is well I shall come back," said Poppy.
"Very well Poppy" said Dumbledore, however, any other boss would have said take your time, hope she gets well and spend some time with her. However, we were talking about Albus Dumbledore here, he didn't give a damn.
"Thanks Albus," said Poppy, cutting off the connection.
Dumbledore was disappointed when he couldn't find out where Poppy was, the call had been untraceable.
-----0
"There," sighed Poppy, she was still in Dumbledore's good books.
"If you are uncomfortable doing this, when you do not have to" said Severus.
Harry mewed softly in his sleep, curling closer to Severus if it was at all possible. They were joined at the hip as it was.
"I'll do it, for Harry" said Poppy, her heart melting at the sight of him.
Her family all lived far away, in a different country but her life had always been at Hogwarts. Her family came to see her but it wasn't very often, her daughter didn't have much magic, she lived in a Muggle area. However, her granddaughter didn't have any magic at all, so when she went she had to go as a Muggle. Penelope (Poppy's daughter) was denying Patricia (Poppy's granddaughter) her heritage. It wasn't up to Poppy so there was nothing she could do. So she rarely saw them, now Harry she saw all the time and loved him like her own.
"Then it is sorted," said Severus.
"When do I go back?" asked Poppy.
"Whenever you can, the quicker the better in my opinion as soon as you can, without it falling on you get Ginny Weasley into my hands." said Severus darkly, his voice normal but his eyes told otherwise.
"Of course," said Poppy, she had been in Slytherin in her days at Hogwarts, it was time she proved just why she had been sorted there, instead of Huffelpuff like the rest of her family.
"Do you think you will need help?" asked Andrea, she had just been reunited with a friend she found herself reluctant to let them part once again.
"I will of course need your help, a potion will turn you into a young apprentice and you can stay with me until further notice" smirked Poppy.
"Indeed," said Severus, no emotion showing, he wouldn't deny Andrea anything because she had never asked for anything before.
"I shall go back tomorrow, and Andrea will follow in a few days time, get me time to get back into a normal routine," said Poppy.
"After all he will be suspicious if I come back with you," said Andrea nodding her head, yes Poppy was thinking everything though.
"Very well, go plan, leave me alone" sneered Severus, of course Poppy and Andrea saw right though it, but decided to leave both men in peace.
"Of course, I am sorry for invading your privacy but I had to see how Harry was" said Poppy looking sorry but relieved none the less.
"I understand, goodbye" said Severus, he was tired and could feel himself almost falling asleep when the witches were standing their planning and talking. It was more than likely they had forgotten where they were, and who's room they now stood in.
"Goodbye Severus," said Andrea hurrying Poppy out hearing the impatience in his voice.
It wasn't her she was concerned for, she didn't want Severus loosing it at them when Harry was just recovering. Oh don't get her wrong, she knew Severus would never hurt Harry not in a million years. However, Harry was fragile and needed calm the first sign of shouting he might withdraw into himself. Something she and the others obviously didn't want of course.
