Separated Twins
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Chapter 21
"I can't be arsed sitting reading his stupid manipulative thoughts" groaned Harry his anger tripled even just looking at the books.
"Maybe one of us should just read them that way you can concentrate on something else?" asked Damon referring to him and his girlfriend.
"You have a point" said Severus thoughtfully, he didn't think he should let Damon read it; he didn't want Damon loosing his temper with the old man. Not for Dumbledore's safety but for Damon's he didn't want him arrested. Dumbledore did have a big influence in the wizarding world, especially the Ministry being the head of the Wizengamont was worse.
"I'll read them" said Damon.
"No!" protested Severus immediately.
"Why not?" asked Damon angrily.
"Damien should read them, we have work to do" said Severus.
"What work?" asked Damon.
"We need to try and release Peeves" said Severus.
"Trying to stop us reading the diary's?" asked Damon angrily.
Severus punched Damon in the face, anger unlike he had ever felt before had pulsed though him. How could Damon think that? After everything Dumbledore had done to him? He may have just found out but to assume he even was trying to protect Dumbledore made him angry.
Damon fell down, clutching his bloody nose, he knew he deserved it but hell if he would let someone he had come to care for hit me. I knew there and then that was the end of him and Severus, being hit by the Dursley's for a day at the most had made him hate violence of any kind and he refused to let someone hit him again.
Damien was right over to his brother making sure he was alright, Damien looked at Severus in anger and sadness, he had heard Damon's thoughts and knew this was not going to be pretty.
"I'm sorry" said Severus looking at his knuckles in shock, he had never really meant to hurt Damon. But the anger was awful and the hurtful words were even worse. "But never accuse me of anything like that again."
"Don't worry, I won't be in the position to do so, it's over Severus" said Damon angrily going into the bathroom.
"What?" asked Severus shocked, he had not expected that.
"He hates violence Sev, you will be lucky if he even speaks to you again" said Tyler sadly.
Damon came out of the bathroom, his nose completely healed, the blood completely gone. Severus watched Damon warily, he believed Tyler when she said that she would be lucky if he spoke to him again.
"Let's go" said Damon angrily.
"Do not shut me out of this," said Severus.
"Fine, but leave me alone, raise your hand again and I will make your life a living hell" snapped Damon.
"It already is" said Severus not showing his sadness nor guilt. He was so used to hiding his emotions, he could even do it at the hardest moments. He knew there and then that he would never deserve Damon, he had hit him, he had never hit anyone else in his entire life, yet he hit Damon? The man he had come to love? Something was wrong.
"I'm going to read the Journals" said Damien.
"Something's wrong," said Severus, the others even Damon stopped to look at him.
"What?" asked Damon coolly.
"I've never lost my temper before in my life, never hurt anyone or anything like that, never before in my life have I felt so suffocated by anger before." said Severus looking agitated.
"Maybe it has something to do with the mark?" asked Tyler thoughtfully.
"I don't know, I guess I could look at the book" said Damon still not happy with Severus.
"Summon it then, we will look and find out" said Damien shooting a look at his brother.
"Accio book," said Damon the book he wanted in mind, which came zooming though to him.
Opening the book he opened it to the page he needed and quickly started reading it.
The dark mark stops their potential and their true feelings, it stops them feeling so when the mark is taken away they may be a danger to everyone around. Their potential will come, and their body may not be able to handle it, their could be magical out bursts.
Their true feels will be coming back, but it will come back in anger, one man actually killed before his emotions were finally settled. Then guilt would settle in, usually the anger comes out because that's the emotion that was suppressed for so long and anger is the nastiest emotion and the one that comes out easiest in people.
To stop it you have to give them a temporary suppressing emotion potion. The potion suppressed the emotion but also gets rid of the excess emotions. So the build up of anger will eventually tone down until their is no longer any build up of anger.
"Well that explains it" said Tyler a little cheerfully.
"I'm so sorry Damon, I would never have hurt you, ever." said Severus honestly.
"Well at least you know if you ever want a real relationship with me never to raise your hand, I hate violence of any kind" said Damon.
"May I ask why?" asked Severus curiously.
"I was beaten by Muggles the day Dumbledore sent me to my aunts, then after that I've lost a friend to violence, he died of his injuries a day later, even I couldn't save him in time, he was beyond magic's healing" said Damon.
"Beyond magic's healing?" asked Severus skeptically not believing a word Damon said.
"Magic cannot heal everything Severus, every one of his bones were broken, he had lost too much blood and his lungs were punctured, he needed help to breathe. Now tell me do you think you could have saved someone who was as bad as that?!" asked Damon softly, he couldn't help but think that it was alright for Severus not to believe him.
"I guess you are right" said Severus defeated.
"I think we are getting off track" said Tyler softly.
"I need to make the potions," said Severus.
"Right, Sev, Dam...go make enough potions to last a couple of years because that's how long he's going to need them. We will start reading though those bastards diaries" said Damien.
"Not here though, remember he can get in and I have no doubt he would recognize his own journals if he saw them" said Severus.
"I know, we are going to spell our bedroom under secret keeper, and read everything in there, we are taking everything in as well. We can't let Dumbledore see we are up to anything so this is the way its going to be." said Damien.
"Good idea, now lets get the show on the road we have a boy to lay to rest!" said Damon.
"Hold it!" shouted Severus his eyes lightening up.
"What is it?" asked Damon.
"That's what we need to do!" said Severus nearly shouting.
"What? Confused here!" said Damien shaking his head, he couldn't read the mans mind for goodness sakes.
"We need to find Peeves' body and give him a proper burial! That way he can be at peace his spirit might pass on" said Severus thoughtfully.
"That might just work, right get this potion done, you go we will be going to see Peeves as soon as we are finished." said Damon.
"Right" said Damien going into the room with Tyler, it wasn't long before the room disappeared from them entirely.

"I'm sorry" apologized Severus to Harry for what felt like the thousand time.
"Severus say that once more and I swear to god..." shouted Harry exasperated.
"I never meant to hurt you," said Severus still very guilty, a month ago he would never have considered apologizing to someone. Shows how far he had come, and how much he had changed.
"Severus I know, it all comes back down to Voldemort, but I will never let you hit me Severus, one hit becomes more and more, I won't let myself get drawn into abuse." said Damon.
"I am not abusive" snapped Severus, he didn't like to think that.
"Of course you aren't Severus, its just you have freaked me out, even though I know it's not your fault, look let's just get this potion made and get back to normal" sighed Damon, the potion wasn't hard, both men knew how to make emotion suppressing potions in their sleep.
"Will we be though?" asked Severus looking pleadingly, hoping and praying the answer would be yes.
"Only one way to find out" said Damon handing over a potion to Severus, one they both knew as emotion suppressing potion.
Severus took the potion without any doubt, suspicion sighing softly he felt himself becoming sort of numb, not the way he had been since he took the mark...but it was as if he had taken a calming potion. Letting out a sigh he said "Thank Merlin for that".
"Well now that's done," said Severus bringing Damon into his eyes, he had more than one way to show he was sorry.
They stood there kissing for at least five minutes, never letting up, however they eventually had to part for proper air. Gasping he let Severus lean against him, kissing him on the neck, it felt like butterfly kisses all the way down and he was hard and aching within minutes.
"We have work to do," said Damon feeling like a teenager, well in Hogwarts he was but in USA he was considered an adult.
"It can wait ten minutes," said Severus confidently delving into Damon's trousers.
"Mmm..." said Damon, his breath hitching and he arched up into Severus' inexperienced touches. It made him rock hard at the thought that this was the first person Severus was willingly touching, the first person to want this with. The first time was rape so it wasn't exactly willing of course. The hands quickly got a good grip of him, and started yanking at him, hard, rough and soft. Damon liked all three of these combinations, arching into Severus he felt himself cum. Spewing himself all over his boxers and all over Severus' hands. Damon just stood there, eyes closed, when he touched Severus he realized with a jolt that he had came without actually having been touched.
"Come on," said Damon.
Severus uttered a spell that had both of them clean, then they cleaned up the lab before they went in search of the devious fourteen year old the school liked to call Peeves, Peeves was his last name.
