Survival
Chapter 14
It did take them days, both minds were doing different things, different ideas they had come up with and getting it done. Severus was the first to finish of course, he apparated right into Abeo's manor. He had full access to the manor now, as well as Abeo to Severus' home. They had become firm fast friends that night, which was unreal for Severus to believe but he wasn't going to let a loyal friend go. He would like to have a friend, so no, he wasn't going to give up a friend for anyone.
"Hey Sev, want something to eat?" asked Abeo softly.
"Why not I'm knackered" said Severus softly.
"Ok, Sam bring us a lunch" said Abeo softly.
"Of course Master Abeo" softly the elf popping immediately.
"You finished?" asked Severus not tired at all.
"I am, you manage to get some sleep?" asked Abeo, knowing that Severus had tried to get some sleep; they had floo'ed and apparated over at odd times of the day. For the two days that they had been busy trying to get all the books copied and given to each other.
"That's the last of them in the box over there, I can finally get my library back into decent shape" smirked Abeo.
"Mine as well" smirked Severus.
"You know I do enjoy your company and I would like to see you again" said Abeo he didn't know that they were firm friends; he had never had a friend. Abeo was under the impression that Severus was only there because he wanted something. Just like everyone else in his life, not that it was many.
"Of course you will see me again, perhaps in a couple of days?" asked Severus.
"For dinner?" asked Abeo.
"Yes if you like, I can bring some fire whiskey" said Severus.
"Deal then" said Abeo nodding his head and smiling, happy that his friend was going to be coming back. Especially when he no longer had anything to give the man.
"Good, well I'm off for now I'm going to read a few books, we can compare when I come on Friday night" said Severus, then he can stay as long as he liked, he didn't have to teach the next day.
"Yeah still got books to read from you, curled up by the fire" smirked Abeo.
"Sounds like a good night, unfortunately I cannot stay up too long, I have students to teach tomorrow" sighed Severus.
"Why not get an assistant?" asked Abeo curiously.
"Who would want to work with me?" sneered Severus.
"Surly not everyone is scared of you," said Abeo.
"No my Slytherins aren't" Said Severus.
"Then get one of them" said Abeo.
"They think I'm dark, they will expect me to brew dark potions" said Severus it was a major downside to asking one of his Slytherins.
"What about me?" asked Abeo.
"Do you know your potions?" asked Severus making sure.
"Of course I do," said Abeo.
"Know anything about brewing them?" asked Severus.
"Yes," said Abeo softly.
"Ever brewed one?" asked Severus.
"Yes" said Abeo thinking of the aging potion, thankfully Severus wasn't in a nosy mood or he could have found out what Abeo was thinking about.
"I will speak to Albus about it" said Severus, smirking he knew of Abeo's hate for the old man.
"I won't work for him, I will only work for you" said Abeo making it clear he wouldn't work for Dumbledore.
"Very well, I will see what I can do" said Severus, smiling, he had someone who knew about his potions it was brilliant.
"It's up to you" shrugged Abeo; he was only doing it to stay friends with Severus. He wasn't really used to friends or anything of the sort and was sort of unsure what to do.
