Chapter Thirteen: Death?
The next day Tom left for a meeting kissing both his lovers as he left, the two had worked late into the night so they had all just curled up and gone to sleep. So Severus went to his study to grade papers and Harry went to the living room to read a book to give him some time alone. They had been apart an hour when Severus came downstairs to gaze at his young lover who lay on the couch, legs crossed behind him.
"You can stare all you like," Harry said surprising him, "Or you can come over here," sitting up he smiled at the other man. As soon as they were seated next to each other he got a brief kiss, "How's the grading going?"
"It would be better if I could read half of what your crazy classmates wrote, what I can read seems to be all made up," Severus said before rolling his eyes, "What are you reading?"
"The daily Prophet," Harry said opening the book up, "I subscribed to the unedited edition and everyday it gets added to the book due to a spell. Today I am a hero, yesterday a nut job."
"Yesterday you were adorable, today you're adorable," Severus said shrugging, "Seems like a rather consistent estimate to me."
"You're bias," Harry chuckled before they heard the floo go off again, "I think it's for you," opening the book again he began to read once more as Severus left.
Walking into the den he saw Dumbledore standing there smiling, "Good morning, why have you come calling today?" Severus asked not the least bit pleasant.
"Where might young Harry be?" Dumbledore asked eyes twinkling. He had a plan to kill the man and make it look like Deatheaters but he needed to make sure Harry was out of the house.
'If he thinks I'm letting him try and convince Harry to leave again he has another thing coming,' Severus thought before simply lying, "He went with his boyfriend to the movies," turning away he said, "So you can-uh," yet as he went to tell him to leave he gasped as a sword thrust through his stomach. Looking at the blade in shock he fell to the floor coughing as blood clogged his throat.
"Good I'd hate for him to think I can kill some one," Dumbledore said walking around to look at the man, "You see the blade is charmed you'll live for almost three hours like this, but if Harry shows up sooner then expected I'll simply tell him if we remove the blade we'll be cursed also," he did not hear the teen's approach as he spoke, "One good thing about that kid is he's easy to manipulate."
"Oh am I," Harry said making the old man spin around to find himself at wand point by the outraged teenager.
"You can't use magic Harry they'll track it through your wand," Dumbledore said before catching sight of the wand in the teen's hand, "That's…"
"Tom's wand yeah he took mine by accident," Harry chuckled seeing Severus cough more blood he blasted the old man and bound him before kneeling next to Severus, "Okay I read about these blades, they can also heal," he muttered trying to remember what the charm was to place on the blade before pulling it out, "Uh…vigoratus vulnus ingero," pulling the blade out he breathed a sigh of relief as a bit of blood followed the blade but the wound closed. (Heal the wound inflicted)
"How the hell did you know that?" Severus asked as soon as he could. Getting a smile he rolled his eyes, "Restricted section?"
"Favorite past time of mine," Harry chuckled before helping him stand and glancing at Dumbledore who was glaring at him. "I'll send Tom a message, you need to lie down." Helping him to the couch in the den he sent off his Patronus with a message saying, 'Sev was hurt by goat; home now'.
Appearing in the house a few minutes later, Tom darted to Severus's side and checked him before seeing the rip in the fabric and the new scar. "How the…" glancing at Harry he raised an eyebrow, "Restricted Section?"
"Am I that transparent?" Harry pouted. Getting a kiss to the forehead he smiled and sat down before motioning to the left, "Dumbledick is over there."
"Dumbledick; clever," Tom commented before moving to eye the old man who was starting to look worried, "He's barely bleeding, Harry is this your handy work?"
"I'm not one for torturing animals," Harry said sweetly, batting his lashes. He laughed as Severus pulled him close and held him as Tom took the old man's wand and summoned all magic objects he held before unbinding him.
"It seems I was too late," Dumbledore said eyes on Harry now looking grandfatherly and wise, "I had hoped to save you from falling into the darkness-"
"Oh I haven't fallen into the darkness," Harry said smiling like an innocent angel. Seeing a spark of hope he continued for a moment "Nope there is no way I would be stupid enough to fall into anything like that," that increased the hope, "I dived in head first," and watched the hope shatter.
"Harry that was so cute," Tom said moving to kiss the teen deeply, which made Dumbledore gape at them, "Now sit with Sev while I kill him okay?"
"Okay," Harry said sitting down next to Severus and being tugged in his arms.
"You seduced him!" Dumbledore screamed suddenly in shock, "No this can not be happening! He is supposed to stay a virgin, save the wizarding world then disappear into the night to avoid the press!"
"Oh and what would he being doing while avoiding the press?" Severus asked quite curious now as to what Dumbledore's plans were for the youngest of them. Yet when he did not speak up he summoned a vial of liquid and tossed it to Tom, "Let's find out some information before he dies."
He fought but Tom was younger and stronger and got the potion down his throat, so when asked again what Harry would be doing he answered, "He would be tied to my bed as a present to myself," which made Harry pale then look sick.
"Is that why you wanted him to be a virgin?" Tom asked feeling anger build up in his chest more so than from Severus's attack. They had known something could happen to Severus but had thought Dumbledore would never hurt his Golden Boy.
"Virgin screams are the best," Dumbledore said an almost pleased look crossing his face as the words slipped out of him.
"Then he would be used once and then what?" Severus asked holding Harry to his chest as the teen tried to vanish into him.
"I'd wipe his memory of the rape and repeat it so every night he would think he was loosing his virginity," Dumbledore answered, "A virgin for eternity, mine to play with."
"Why did you send him to abusive bastards?" Severus asked, "He could have been killed."
"I controlled those urges in the muggles, their hate for him was a rather low dislike and ignorance I amplified it so he would be more pliable," and with that a red light hit him in the chest, which burst open and his organs began to melt away. Both Tom and Severus looked at Harry who looked down right pissed off.
